THE CAPIrOL.-f we are to credit statement
in the Providence Journal, a paper usually
well posted in foreign art-gossip, there is some
Misrepresentation in regard to the supposed en-
gagement of Horace Vernet to paint historical

on the compliment from tho new world to his
genius, but that the painter replied that he
knew nothing Of the fact

paper to show how bigotry blinds people to
facts as clear and unmistakabe us the sun at
MONDAY.
