Central Park’s Pet Has a Cold and In- digestion — Herolo Treatment Saved 1ts Life and the Peo- ple Rejoiced. Waiting For a Tie-Up. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—[Special Cor- respondence of Tug BEE.|--Brooklyn, like New York, is suffering all the hor- rors of suspense with regard to the hovse-cars, but the situation there is by no means so painful as in New York, because there is nowhere the same con- centration of travel, and the elevated railroads would be able to accommodate nearly one-half the passengers that now uso the horse cars. In Now York each of these lines of travel is strained to its utmost capacity, and therefore a tie-up would be a real calar The situa- tion is precisely the same as when I wrote you last. The companics will not recoguize the officials of District Assem- bly No. 1 of the Knights of Labol nd the latter say that they propose to sce that the laws of the state with regard to the hours of labor are observed. On nll the companies a man must be on duty fourteen hours every day, and onsome he must be on duty sixteen hours. During that time he will be on his car either ten or twelve hours unless something happens which nocessitates his being on trips during the whole fourteen or sixteen Lours. Did any slave owner in the days of slavery exact such service from the man who was his thrall and his property, body and bones? Many of these car men ave husbands and fathers, and they are at home for such short spells that they never see their wives and children by the light of the sun. There 15 a society for the sup- pression of cruelty to animals, and if any horse in any of these car lines is overworked there will be arrests, I think there should be a society for the protection of workingmen from the cruelty of their employers. But per- haps it would not be of any service, for the state law rcgulating the hours of labor is a mock that no one observes. ABRAHAM HEWIT1'S KNOWNOTHINGISM, A vorg curious story is floating around the political clubs and the news- paper offices. Mr., Berry, as all the world knows, was Mr. Hewltt’s private secretary during his astounding may- oralty, and in reward for his Inlv.en- ful service Mr. Hewitt promised him the position of tax commis- sloner. Mr. Berry is a Catholic, and his cranky employer wasignorant of the fact, though everyone supposed that he knew it. Two or three }iay- before the New Year, some busybody wrote to the lnlimr asking him if he thought it was right to place another Catholie in the tax department, when there were two in it already. This fearful news moved Uncle Hewitt to the very mid- f. He questioned his private secre- rK and found that it was, alas, too true, ““Then I cannot appoint you as tax com- issioner,” he said with much decision, “for I do not Melieve in turning over n* important department to the con- trol of the Catholics, and I am informed jhat there are two of them now in the tax department.” Mr., Berry went away exceeding sorrowful and a Mr. Parris was appointed 1n his stead, He had not earned tho position by any pre- vious service, and his only qualifications were the negative oneof not being a holic, and the dubious one of being recommended by the county democracy. No one cared very much whether Abraham Hewitt was a knownothing or not, after the clection, but it is strange that he should be false to his promises and ungrateful for reul service, for a mere notion, which does not rise to the dignity of a conviction. THE HIPPOPOTAMUS WILL LIVE. New York has been thrilled with ex- citement over the sickness of the male hippopotamus Caliph, who is_the pride of the Central park menagerie, and the loving husband of a female hippopota- mus pamed Miss Murphy. = Caliph caught cold, and Conklin, who once had hinosceros die upon his hands from saume cause, was determined to save him. So he took active méasures. st _he prodded him until he con- sented to get into the tank, and then steam was siphoned into the water, which was raised to as high a tempera- ture as possible. Then the heat of the building was clevated in proportion, and the lions and tigers began to dr that they were in their native tropics. The Caliph was kept in this improvised Turkish bath until huge drops of per- spiration tric d down his big nose, at which point he was allowed to emerge, and when he sank exhausted on the litter, coverings were piled upon him until he looked like a mountain of blankets. Then Superintendent Conk- lin, without going through the prelimi- nary of feeling his pulse, pried his mouth open, covered his enormous tongue with a mixture of molusses and a powerful drastic, and left him to mnature. His consort Miss Murphy, who had been temporar- ily separated from herlord, had emitted a'series of loud grunts during the per- formance, but whether this was from sympathy or disapprobation cannot be told. The remedies proved eflicacious, and in twenty-four hours the Caliph arose and moved around in an active and particularly hugry fashion. He was plentifully fed and’ Miss Murphy was admitted, and she gambolled around him in spito of her huge size and seemed perfectly aware that her lord was all right again. Conklin has been beaming ever since, but he says that his hippopotamus must eat no more raw turnips, for they created an indi- gestion that complicated his cold very seriously. A DISAPPEARANCE AND REAPPEAR- ANCE, The estimable librarian of the Long Island Historical society of Brooklyn, who has been missing since Saturday afternoon, appeared at his home this morning. He is much liked, and has been connected with the so- ciety so long that every one was much disturbed about it. His brother ex- lained that he had been sufferiug rom insomnia, and there were fears that he had been seized with ap- oplexy, and was lying somewhere un- known and unattended. The solution was very uatural, but very queer. He had business in New York, and thinks ing that the walk would do him good, took the destrian way across the bridge, and then went fowards Wall strect. When he got on Lower Broad- way h began to feel irresistibly sleepy, buf he kept on walking until he came to the Battery. Half consciously he went on board a steamer, followin, other psogls who were doing so, pl(! for a berth, went to bed, slept soundly for many hours, and when he awoke found himself in Boston. He went od the day, the next day pulling him- together, and then returnad by boat to the great joy of his wife and brothe His nerve are still unstrung, but there is littles doubt that his un- ious excursio n saved him from serious brain trouble.

Health Officer Smith visited the Yantic yesterday and brought back the painful intelligence that Lieu- tenant Charles Richard Miles is dying. the first seized in the harbor of 1-Prince, and his vigorous con- stitution enabled him to make such ®a fight with the malady that it was hoped he would recove Three more of the Yantic’s men were struck down.

But many people are asking whether it was judicious to take a man struggling with such a discase straight from the tropics to New York, which is oppressed with extreme cold, rendered raw and dangerous by the amount of moisture in the air. A lamentable deavh followed this perhups mistaken policy in the Boston as well as in the Present instan ce, StayA THOR, hotel - THE NUDE IN ART. Written fur The Bea, T'he attitude of professional artists on the question of what is fit and what 1s unfit for public exhibition is not well understood, end is apt to be misconstrued. So much has re- cently been said concerning the action of the trustees of an art muscum in Norwich, Conn., that it may not be without interest to consider the question somewhat thoroughly. The world believes that there are simply two parties—the artists and the art loving, who are in favor of nude art upon oertan condi tions—and the prurient prudes who are op- posea to 1t, and who swathe the legs, 1o, limbs, of their pianos. This is totally erron- cous, for the fact is that artists are us much divided in their views as the public. As a rule, American artists in America are im- bued with the ideas which have constantly prevailed in England, and are opposed to nude pictures unless an extraordinary amount of ability is shown. In ail the long annals of the Royal academy only two wen could be certamn that nude pictures from _their ateliers would be uccepted, Btty and Stothard, and it is an unwritten law of the exhibitions that no nude shall be accepted no matter how mer- itorious, unless it comes from a man who has at least the rauk of an Associate. This systom is obviously based upon the supposi- tion that very great techunical merit lifts an otherwise objectionable picture into an ex- coptional category. Aud as only a jury of professional men can determine whether any picture possessos these technical merits it is slear that men who are not professiounl art- ists and who have to pass upon the admission of nude pictures, will act in accordance with the practice of the Royal academy of Lon- don, and the National academy of New York, 1o rejecting them.§ But American artists in Fraoce, in Mu- nich, and in Vienna are not in harmony with these views, and ¢ onsider them Puritanical The basis of admission in these eou! rests entirely upon the motive of a pictu and the artists contend that so loug s tho aim of the artist was evidently pure, bis work should not be excluded begause of the realism which may prevail init, The pub- lic gonerally supposes that French artists are specially guilty of presenting details of wudity which shock those spectators who @are not accustomed the freedom of an European brush, but this is incorrect. The most cynical artists are the Viennese and the Belglans, whose fdelity to nature is absolutely horoic. It is clear that whan the motive of an artist 1s in T‘Al-tinn. & l:’ry of wen who are not professlonals can perfectly competent to pass upon the ad- mission or rejection of contributions. But it wust also be clear that there will be great diversity of opinion &5 to the poiut where ably a happy one, and there was plonty romance in its preliminaries. “Honest little Kmma” was living in a severe cconomy in an attic room of a respactable Now York board- ing house, taking vocal lessons by the help of a few benevolent ladies, who had discovered her in the extreme penury of her childhood. At the same house a young business man named Wetheretl was staying, who, how ever, knew the industrious musical aspirant only by a superficial parlor acquaintance. 1t was proposed to get up for Miss Abbott a subscription concert, and she gladly assented o the opportunity, but had nothing suitable to wear at this first appearance bofore o New York audience but an old alpaca, which, neatly brushed, nad boen her stand-hy every day during the winter. While in trouble over this state of affairs she found on her plate at table one day a neat package, which, on being opened, " disclosed to her danci a black silk dress pattern. No name acc 4 it, but with her straight- forward simplicity she accepted it as a pro- vidential gife, and it was auickly made up and duly worn at_ her littlo debut. Later it transpired that Mr. Wetherell had been-the modest donor of the timoly package, and when Miss Abbott learned in this way the friendly interest he felt in her career the subsequent steps that led to the altar were swift and casy. The wri nbers sit- iz with Miss Abbott in_her private box at > National on an off night of one of her engagoments, and asking her during the ing how Mr. Wetherell bore up during iasing, she rejoined me knows battor than Ho gets the the line must be drawn, for one mun will consider & motive blamable which another will consider pardonable. Many men, many minds, says the proverb, and the aunals of Anthony Comstock’s law experi are sufticiont to show that jndges differ very materially upon this very material point. Where does permissable {reedom end, and where does obvious obscenity begin! It cannot be denied that from the standpoint of public’ morals, the American and English artists are wiser in their generation than brothers of the continent. The zist of 1 decision shows this,for it has repeat- edly been adjudged that u picture was not obscené, while the photograph of that same picture was obscene. K'rom the continental point of view this would be an absurdity,buty'i s on the assumption that great technical merit 1ifts an otherwise objectiona- ble panting nto an exceptional category. The wise men of Norwich have 'been girded at by pungent paragraphers, and_sol- emnly rebuked by stately editorial writers, and yet they did nothing more than many sculptors do of their own volition. The hint given 1o art by the fig leaf of Paradise has been adopted very generally. It will be d that we do not_find th s in the famous sin marbles. It is true. Butif an appeul is mado to ancient art it must be made with a full statement of the circumstances. In pre-Phidian seulpture, all female forms are swathed in drapory, as those art stu- dents know who wwn tho Fates, The human_form is also clothed in all proces- sional Jbas relicf! as the Panathenaic procesion, Th remain _ some nude statues of males, sucl the Theseus and Ilyssus, but the ulinr- ity about them which merits consideration. The reclining attitudes of these show that they represent the immortals upon the mountain of beatitude, and that they are ghosts and not mortal men. There are Phasnician silver bowls which represent ab- solutely the forms and the attitudes of those superb illustrations of the human form, un- der such conditions that the meaning is not to be contested. There are also pre-Phidian marbles representing_ the winged Hermes and these are nude. We are here, therefore, on the trace of an art law in which Greek sculptors in the best periog of Hellenic art ladder. Then the young gentlemen each took an end of the ladder, and the trio marched two miles through the mud tothe house of the othor loved ono, and, while placing the ladder against tho side of the house, discovered that another laddor was placed against the shed, and thoy had carried a seventy-five pound ladder two miles for nothiniz, Then the ladder was rused to the window and maiden No. 2 do- scendod into the arms of her adorer.
