A SNUB FOR WORD HARTINGION,

A propdsal to present the freedom of the “City of Glasgow to the Marquis of Hrruington on his forthcoming visit to Scotland has led to a rather curiou3 dis. cussion in the Glasgow Town Council. The Lord Provost, moved . the following resolus ton: —* Resolved, to present the freedom of the city to the Right Hon, Spencer Com- pton Cavendish, Marquis of Hartington, “. P., in recognition of his public services, his eminent qualities as a statesman, and of the acknowledged position which, his high personal character and aptitude for leadership ‘have secured for him in tha, councils of the nation.” (Applause, , Bailie Collins seconded the motion. Bai~| lie Wilson, who is known as a Radical, oty: jected, ana too occasion to ask why they were to give that high honour to Lord, ‘Hartington, who ‘had not yet earned his spurs in any department in literature, science, or philanthropy, or as a warrior. He could name some men of the party on whom the Council might with more pro. priety confer that honour. Hundreds of peopie did not know who Lord Hartington was. (Laughter,) Mr. Morrison proposs ed that the words, ‘* his aptitude for. lead erstip,”’ should be omitted from. the reso- lution. Mr. Neil said that seeing they were the representatives of the public, and thet they had no knowledge of who the Marquis of Hartington was, he thought before using the money of the people, they ought to have some public enthusi- asm.on his behalf. There was no such thing in Glasgow. He never heard of the name until he got the circular ca ling the meeting. (Oh! oh! and loud laughter.) (reasurer Osborne was of «pinion _ that, they were making the honour of the city too cheap in giving it away thus every now and then. ‘Tne Lord Provost defend ed the proposal, and, as a Liberal Consery- ative, gave it as his oOpiniop that Lord Hartington was well woutby, and had earn- ed the honour which it was proposed to confer.’ Ultimately. the resolution a- amended by Mr. Morrison, wis adopted,

The terms were arranged. ‘ How Jong do you think it will tike?’ asked the model, ‘: Perhaps fifteen days,’’ was the reply. Sittings began,’ and the artist entered so beartily. into his work that in eleven days tbe portrait was, done. .*> Why.’’ asked Croesus, when the fact was announced: to him, ‘‘do you intend suppressing four days’ work ¥* “It does nos matter atal, the portrait is finished,’ acswered the painter, “ Weil, sir, that isnot business; we said q hundred guineas, and fifteen days’ work.

THE CORRUPTION OF TASTE, a . athe Saturday Review remarics =. vel Of good taste was probibiy never

ed with so much energy as it bes bees sie last ten years. [ha taste ot Simpae Seauty, and nought else.’ as frequentiguptoved one of the worst hime ties of a man or of a Stage of society. But it is not the most imminent danger of the London poor, and we need not, so far, be afraid that working’ men wil! grow too much absorbed in contemplation of the paintings of Luini, or in the Study of that high class of poetry in which sense is just ~wooning into melodious nonsense. The danger, to tell the truth, is in the very op - posite direction. There are really two propagandas of taste at this moment, QOae is weak and weil-meaning, self.conscious and, toa certain extent, organized. This is the character of the effort to instruct ‘he untutored, (0. refine the. rude, to call the halt and blind from the highway, and Ompel them to like faience. But the op. posite current of taste is as strong as its neighbour is weak. By a hundred respect able channels the gross and perverted likings of the ignorant, the mean, the ralm fianly are being introduced into decent society. In this ease there is no inten. tional effort; no one probably is detiber. ately eager to debauch and degraded the character of women an’ children, and to bring their literary tastes down to the level al the Police News and the ‘penny dreac- ful.’ Uniuekily. the stream that sets in this direction from the hauats of stu- pd vice and dull love of oObscuic things is powerful with all the force of & mean commercial tendency. There cin be but one moral resuit of ths system, Children, who are great patfons of illustrated papers, have often an @Xn treme horror of cruelty. They are ha unted for example, by a drawing of Servians burned over a tire, in a way which older people have forgotten and can hardly urs decstand, To deprave this sense of horn ror to convert it, week by week, into it opposite —a morbid love of the terrible and disgustful—is the certain resuit of design which would once have been thought tco loathsome for the pet papers of the crim « ual classes... There are incidents in Hero« dotus and events in the history o! Eogland which have not yet been ii ustrated with realistic precision, But it is supertiuous te give hints to the energetic and laventive people who actually outrun pubiic bad taste in their haste to suppiy a demand Which is not so great as tuey fancy. The the morbid curi. osity of the street lounger, are by no means universal among educated people, Sull it must be confessed that, in thecon- flicting currents of taste, the cultivated are more affected by the likings of the ignores ant and brutal than the ignorant and brua tal by the fine fancies of the cultivated, Uhe depravation of taste on the side where taste is nearest to morality increases in proportion to the abundant growth of (alk fubout the correggiosity of Correggio. It seems to foliow that the evil must be cured by more stringent measures than lectures on art.”

The Chance came, but surrounded by guards & it Had to be improved, however, and they made the bolt, using the deputy warden as a shield, thinking rigbtiy that the guards would not fire at them through him.
