LECTURE on WASHINGTON AND HIS PoR-
venerable Rembrandt Peele, of
Philadel phia, delivered lecture here on !
Saturday night, at the Smithsonian Institute,
under the auspices of the National Conven-
ton of Artists, on "washington and His
Portraits" 1t was u repetition OF the lee
ture lately delivered before the Historical So
ciety of New York, and consequently its
principal novelties have already taken the run
of the press. 1t was great treat to look
upon n man who had looked upon Washing
ton, and to hear man talk who had talked
with the illastrious Pater PatriG. He prov
ed eonclusively to the audience, by his own
candid and modest statements, and episto-
larry testimony OF distinguished cotempora-
ries and acquaintances of Washing gton both
social and artistic, that his own last portrait
OF the great man, on exhibition before the
audience in interesting contrast with seve-
raj others, was the best one extant. This
portrait, is a kind of an agreeable compro-
mise between the Houdon and the Stuart
portraits, lacking the stiff -neckedness of the
former, and the unnatural fullness OF the
mouth and the spruceness of the latter. 1t
is tie portrait, on the sight of which one OF
the Artists old-time visitors exclaimed:
''There, that is the Washington that knewr'
and OH the sight of which, in contrast, the
audience seemed to mentally and applauding
ly calculate, There that is the Washington
that we read ofm The venerable artist lee
turer stated that he had painted seventy
copies of this portrait, with his own hand.
ABoRIo1NEs AT THE CAPITAL.-Not the
least interesting feature of life IN the Metro
polls ut the present time, is the large number
OF Western Indians here, on business with
the Government. As they mingle tamilarly
with Caucasian gallantry and beauty, on the
fashionable promenades, their savage mein
and barbarian costumes contrast strangely
with the elegant carriage and the artistic
toilettes OF civilization and refinement. Last
week, portion of the Sioux delegation, now
here, desiring to see how "bad men" are
treated by their white brethren, were con-
Quoted to the United States Penitentiary anC
shown the prisoners at work. When to'e
that the prisoners wero kept within the wall
hard at work for years without pay, anc
without the privilege Of going out, or associ
ating with their ''squaws," they slgnifed, b.
u variety of gutteral exclamations, thei
opinions of the severity of the puni. hment
and they were apparently impressed wit
horror on seeing an unruly convict confne
in dark. narrow cell. This seemed to til
red men the most frightful punishment tina
could be inflicted; and such it would un
doubtcdly be to the wild and free natives {
the forest.

SUIcIDE.-A man by the name Of John
Irvine, an old resident of this county, com
mtted suicide last Thursday night. by hang
ing himself to walnut tree, on his farm,
one mile from the city. He was found dead
yesterday morning, with his feet touching tic
ground, and his hat lodged on the tree where
it had been left when he took the fatal leap.
No cause was assigned at the Coroner's In
quest for the act, except that OH Thursday his
step-mother, with whom he had lived for
many years was married. His brothers tcs-
titled that on Thursday evening he threaten
ed to take his life, but no attention was
given to his remarks. The Coroner's Jury
returned verdict in accordance with the
facts.
We are Informed by Coroner Hatchett that
the deceased had in his possession on Thurs
day evening, several hundred dollars in mo-
ney. Eighty dollars of the amount was in
paper and the rest in gold and silver. Only
ten dollars and sixty-fve cents was found
upon the person Of the unfortunate man.
what became of the remainder no one can
tell. His brothers were with him up to o late
hour on Thursday night, when no left them
as the supposed to retire. Between that time
and daylight he committed suicide and either
hid the money OF was robbed Of it before or
after the act. Tho friends of Irvine are do
termined to ferret this matter ont, and it
may yet appear that Irvine was f0ully dealt
with.
We arc told by those acquainted with the
family, that lrvine's father, suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared about seventeen
years ago, and has never been heard Of since.
His son, who was sobe, and industrious
man, has now met his death in violent
manner, apparently by his own hands. We
hope this matter will be fully investigated
It is due the Coroner and the jury to. say that
although this mystery envelopes the sad af
fair, yet that no evidence could be obtained
except such as indicated the suicide of the
deceased.
