THE ARTIST AND THE DUCHESS.

The Paris correspondent of the Daily Regis
ter tells an amusing anecdote Of a young pain
ter, who is not yet celebrated, but whom a
young duchess consented to advance by allow
ing him to take her portrait for the exhibition
She gave him several sittings, and when the
picture was finished, she took several Of her
friends to the studio, to have their opinion.
As usual, not two agreed one thought the
nose too long, another, the eyes too blue, an-
other, the mouth too large; in short, it was de-
cided that the painter had failed He, however,
convinced that he had on the contrary, succeed
ed most admirably and being, therefore, totally
averse TO making any change, proposed that the
decision be left to an impartial judge, and the
duchess had a little King Charles which was ex-
ceedingly attached to her, it was agreed that the
dog should settle the question of resemblance or
no resemblance.
Accordingly, the picture was sent to the
hotel, the next day, and the painter, the duchess
and her friends assembled in the saloon. The
portrait was placed upon the floor, leaning
against the wall the duchess hid herself, and
the little spaniel was called in. He immediately
looked around for his mistress, and, not seeing
her began search.
After smelling around a minute, he approach
ed the portrait, but he had no sooner seen il
than he sprang upon it, licked it all over, and
showed every demonstration of the greatest Joy
The assembled friends, moved almost to tears
declared the painters triumph, for even when
the duchess showed herself, the little dog refus
ed to leave the picture.
The critics argued that the artist had prob
ably retouched the portrait during the night, and
were unanimous in their opinion Of its resem
blance The painter had, it is true, retouched the
picture but simply with light coating of lard
The dogs nose was sharper than the critics
eyes.

THE CLAIM ON THE MESlLLA I'M
PORTANT

Telegraphic dispatches of the 10Th from
Washington to New York, say
IS 1t is rumored that the administration has
decided to support the position taken by LANE
in regard to the Mesilla Valley"
This dispatch to the associated press of New
York is accompanied by another Of the same
date, running as follows
6 The dispatch to the associated press relative
10 the President aud his Cabinet is strictly
reliable. 1t is said that special beaer Of dis
patches has been sent to Santa Fe. An ad-
ditional military force will be put into requisi-
ton to maintain the alleged claim of the United
States to the disputed Territory in New-Mexi
CO.
The Tmes' dispatch of same date enters more
at large into the matter, as below
!" Another chapter is opening in the Mesilla
business. Full official advices have been re
ceived from New Mexico giving reasons for
Governor LANES course. which have not been
heretofore presented. 1t is explained that Gov
ernor LANES seizure was consequent upon
certain outrageous proceedings on the part Of
the authorities Of Chihuahua, in seizng upon
and impressing American citizens vnder pecu.
llarly oppressive circumstances.
$ We shall probably have very interesting
Official publication relative to New Mexican
affairs in few days. The facts are in posses

supposed he had some bait, and made bold TO
snap at it, when the man, suddenly throwing
his head back, drew out a trout which weighed
