SINGULAR Work OF SKLL.-A Philade-
phan named Swander has produced two re
markable specimens Of pen portraiture. The
one is copy of the Declaration of Iudepen-
dence, written with such variations of light
and heavy strokes as to embody phantom
likeness of Washington, the whole being sur
rounded by clever limitations Of the original I:
the other giving the Emancipation Proelama-
ton in manuscript which discloses a shadowy
protrait of President Lincoln. The figures
can be recognized at glance, and yet the pic
ture is formed entirely by The size and arrange
of some slight shading about tie eyes, nose and
mouth.
