CENTENNIAL DIscouRsE.-The first Epis-
copal Society organized in this State was the
ST. Pauls, in Falmouth, now Portland, Nov. 4,
1903. The original society was composed of
Al persons. 1t retained the name of st. Paul
until the year 1899, when the affairs of the
society having become somewhat embarrassed,
Il new organization was formed, under the
title of st. Stephens Church. From that time
the church constantly increased in numbers
and strength, until, in 1851, another church,
the St. Luke's, was formed from its members.
We learn that Rev. VIM. Stevens Perry,
Rector of St. Stephens, the original Episcopal
Church in this city, will, tomorrow, Sunday
EVENING" deliver a centennial discourse, in his
church, upon this subject. He has hunted up
all the records of the church from its organ
hation up to the present time, and an exceed
ingly interesting statement may be expected
from him on the occasion.

FINE PICrUREs.-IIaving heard of the fine
oil photograph pictures executed by Mr.. H..
HARDING, 30 Exchange street-see advertise
ment in another column--we took occasion
yesterday to step in and look at them. Mr..
Harding is a stranger in our city, has come
here to see if such an art as he possesses can
be made remuneratiye, intending, should sutfi-
cient encouragement offer, to locate perma-
nently among us. He has the true inspiration,
if a safe conclusion may be drawn from his
works-the fruits of his delicate touches. He
has several specimens, executed within a few
days, Of well-known gentlemen in our city.
and We advise those who would see life in oil
eolors, and 4 likeness that will all but speak
and wink, to call and see them. We have
never seen their equal, either for naturalness
of expression or deicacy of finish. In look
ing at painting OF John Neal, Esq, we can
almost see the lip curl as the observer calls to
mind the mere daubs which are so often
palmed off for paintings, while that of Rev.
Mr.. Stebbins almost prompts the observer to
raise his hat instinctively as he would to the
urbane original. A picture Of Daniel Webster
has been finished in a style followed only by
Mr.. Harding, which he denominates the Ivo-
rytype-having precisely the appearance of
the best paintings on ivory. BY all means
force Mr.. II. to make his lifelong abode with
US, by crowding him with orders so that he
may never find time TO think of leaving.
