Discovery OF RAPHAEL.-A person at Nismes
had for long time in his possession drawing in
red chalk, te which he attached so little value that
it was thrown aside among some waste paper. An
amateur having recently seen it, purchased it from
him for two francs The purchaser, having brou cht
it to Paris, showed it to some artists who told him
it was an admirable SKETCH and he accordingly pre-
sented it to the Director of the Muses. Soon after
his return to Nismes he received letter of thanhs
from inspector of the Beaux Arts, in which it
was stated that, after minute investigation. the
drawing was found to be the portrait of Lornarioa
by Raphael and was estimated at being worth, at
the lowest, 10000 francs.

The NeV York Commercial thus describes the
nersonaI appearance Of Mr.. Guthrie
The Hon James Guthrie is man to attract oD-
seryation anywhere. Of good stature and stalWar.
frame he is plain-almost rusticin his attire, ana
sits erect and firmly. The countenance IS strongly
marked would indicate, even to the most supernclai
observer high personal integrity great energy OF
nose and power of WILL generally almost rgdty OF
character The first impression of harshness how
ever rapidly SUBSIDIES one continues TO study tnat
noble, frank, clear countenanoe. Inc stronger
lines become more manifestly but the traces OF
thou ghtfulness and habit of reflection The inner
man shines FORTH and you feel that with strength OF
character is blended genuine beneyolence, that
ever and anon beams forth the eye and plays around
the mouth. The impression instantly made by TINS
bappy blending of elements of character is most
pleasing. Before you are aware how deeply your
feelings are interested in the gentleman, you detect
yourself divining that Mr.. Guthrie is just the man
YOU would like to have for friend; that he must
be an excellent heighbor and judicious adviser that
to young man, especially, his counsel and over
sight would be invaluable; and your faith IN the
man grows as you study him, until you almost wish
you had occasion for reposing confidence in him.
Nor is this feeling at all abated but rather IN
creased when he speaks for the voice is much less
rigid than the features. A slight suspicion of dog
nj tism-which however, has been nearly oblltera
ted as your study proceeded-is totally banlshed
now that he speaks. He is no orator. He is elo
quent only because he is earnest He seems not te
know or care to know, the arts of the rhetorlclan
His mode of utterance is not good savoring some
what of the desk pulpit. But he speaks directly
to his subject, with point and force"
