An old friend Of his--whom | will call Mr.
Wylle-re~iIcd there. Mr.. H. being anxious
to see him. and having only few hours at his
disposal. wrote as soon as he reached the hotel,
begging Mr. Wylde to call upon him there. AT
the time appointed, the door Of his room open
ed, and Mr.. Wylde was announced. lie was a
complete stranger to the artist; and the meet
ing between the two was little awkward. II
appeared, on explanation, that Mr.. HIS friend
had LETT Canterbury some time; that the gentle
man now face to face with the artist was anoth-
er Mr. Wylde; that the note intended for the
absentee had been given to him; and that he
obeyed the summons supposing some business
matter to be the cause of it.
The first coldness and surprise dispellcd, the
two gentlemen entered into a more friendly con
yersation; lor Mr.. II. had mentioned bis name
and it was not strange one to his visitor
When they hal conversed a little while, Mr.
Wylde asked Mr. H. whether he had ever
painted, or could undertake to paint, portrait
from mere description? Mr.. H. replied never
81 ask you this strange question:" said Mr..
Wylde, because about two years ago, | lost a
dear daughter. She was my only child and
loved her very deeply. Her loss was heavy
afIliction to me, and my regrets are the deeper
that have no likeness Of her. You are a man
Of unusual genius. If you could paint me
portrait of my child, should be very grateful"

appearance oI his daughter, and the color of her
eyes and hair, and tried to give an idea OF the
expression Of her face. Mr.. II. listened atten-
lively, and feeling great sympathy with his
grief made a sketch. He had no thought OF its
being like, but hoped the bereaved father would
possibly think it so. But the father shook his
head on seeing the sketch, and said, "No, it was
not at all like" Again the artist tried and
again he failed. The features were pretty well
but the expression was not hers; and the father
turned away from it, thanking Mr.. H. for his
kind endeavors but quite hopeful of any sue
cessful result. Suddenly a thought struck the
painter; he took another sheet Of paper, made
rapid and vigorous sketch, and handed it to his
companion. Instantly, bright look ofrecog
milton and pleasure lighted up the fatber's face,
and he exclaimed, "That is she! Surely, you
must had seen my child, or you never could
have made so perfect likeness" ......
"When did your daughter dep inquired the
painter, with agitation.
About two years ago; on the 18th Of Sep
tember. She died in the afternoon, after few
days Illness" '. a,-..s,...
Mr. Ii. ponderrd, but said nothing. The i'm
age of that fair young lace was cngrayen on his
memory as with diamonds point and her
strangely prophetic words were now fulfilled.
A few weeks later, having completed full
length portrait Of the young lady, he sent it to
her father, and the likeness was declared by all
who had ever seen her, to be perfect.

William johnson, an engineer, was arrested
by Policeman Walker, OF the Seventh Precinct,
on charge OF using disrespectful language re.
gardng President Lincoln's Administration.
The prisoner was brought to the Essex Market
Police Court. where he was condemned to ten
days confinement in the toombs.-Neeo York

If man is to be arrested and impris-
oned for speaking disrespectfully Of Pres-
ident Lincoln and his administration,
what shall be done with the Abolition and
radical Republican editors who talk to
thousands and tens of thousands of per-
sons after this fashion? =,
The Boston Liberator says that "Mr.
Lincoln has already received the stigma
of the slavehound of Illinois" "We
have right to proclaim loudly it con-
tinues, Aagainst the infamy with which
he has violated the Constitution. Yet,
it adds. that "the Constitution Of the
United States was madc," and calls on
Congress to s'loose no time in enacting
the total abolition Of slavery, uncondi-
tionally, throughout the country" 1t
spits out venom against the flag Of the
Union, and asserts that ''the eagle of the
United States Is very dcformcd, OBJ
scene, thievish, gluttonous and cruel
beast" and that "not the slightest faith
ought to be put in this foul, lazy crea-
turo!' The Anti-Slavery Standard calls
our Chief Magistrate the ''unlooked for
assistant of Beauregard and Davis, and
accuses him Of having ''quenched the en-
thusiasm of the people, and done more
to paralyze the Northern arm than all

Mr.. EDlToR:-In looking over an old
number of the Cadiz Republican, a few
DAYS since, | came across the following
communication, which [ wish you would
rcpublish:--
sw For the Cadiz Republican.
Messrs. Eltors:--We notice in the Sentinel
of August Z h, an article entitled "Candidates,"
in which the editor, in one instance at least,
does great injustice. After giving the names OF
the candidates (Republican) for the several Of
hces be remarks: "These are all, so far as we
know, very clever gentlemen. But, reader,
how many Of these nineteen gentlemen do you
suppose have sons and brothers fighting for
their country. Only one" &c. The son of a.
Aud, candidate for Representative, has enlist
ed IN Capt. Cunnpgham's company, and is now
in camp Chase. When opportunity is offered
we believe he will sustain the old h1g bravely.
viii the candidates OF the opposition do as
well? Rev A. W. BUTTS
REV. SAMUEL PATTERSON,
., RoBERT Pitts, jr.,
JoHN PITTS,
1 J. Il. CLARK,
.Ha+ JOSHUA WAGERs. ..
Will these REVEREND gentlemen please
tell me how long this "son' sustained
the old flag bravely?' And how long
his father permitted this ''son' to remain
in "Capt Cunningham's company, at
Camp Chase" after the republican coun-
ty nominating convention was over!--
And you may tell me, Mr.. Editor, how
ridiculous Ministers of the Gospel look,
who busy themselves to help office seek
ing politicians to get office, as Revcrcnds
Butts and Patterson done in the above
instance? DEERSVlL

so in his language, that his opinions as a

slightest objection to tomply with our sug-

slavery have been heretofore often ex.
pressed, while in the public service, and
