FINE ARTS,

Mr.. schaus has at length placed in his exhibition
sOOm the Holy Family" by Carl Miller of Dussel-
dorf, which we feared would be bought and carried
of before the public could have opportunity Of
seeing it. MILLER is a slow painter, working up his
.pictures to high point Of labored polish 90 that
they appear to be painted npOn porcelain rather than
upon canvas. He can hardly produce more than two
ar three such pictures this in year. and they are
therefore, seldom seen, and command a high price,
sor there are many who think them as beautiful
they are wonderful. No doubt, many persons who
saee this picture viii take h for a'speeimen Of what
"a called pre-raphaelite art, but tbey,wi be much
mistaken. It has no TelatiOnsto that art and tho
diaerence between the two may be stated in word.
Sueh finish as Muller puts into. his pictures = finish
for tho sake of finish. This patient labor has not
been expended for the sake Of tho sges n0i out q

Bill Simpsons Legal Experienced.

From Winchester (Tenn.) Home Journall
Many years ago the Legislature of Ten
nessee passed an act to organize the county
of McNairy, alias Snake. At that time the
country embraced in the limits of Snake
was occupied by sturdy set Of backwoods-
men, totally unacquainted with courts, jails,
etc. The county assembled at the appointed
site for the purpose Of cutting logs, making
boards, etc, to build court house and Jail
The only theme of daily conversation, when
the men were assembled, was the court, etc.
None Of them had ever seen conrt In ses-
sion, as yet developed. Each one would give
what his idea was Of court etc. None
however, were entirely satisfactory, until
Bill Simpson was called on to give bis ideas.
He said he knew all about court--that he
had had a law suit In North Carolina. One
Of his neighbors hogs kept coming when he
fed his hogs until it got fat. One morning
he got so id mad that he shot the hog
He thought it would not do 10 throw Il
away, 10 he cleaned and salted L. Shortly
after, his neighbor and man came to his
house, examined the smoke house, and took
him to town and put him in q little Office
About three months after that this man came
and took him up to large room. A large
man sat upon a high bench--a man was
sitting at a desk-about a dozen fine dressed
men sar in place that was paled around.--
The man put him In pen just behind them.
He then called in twelve men; they took
seats in box in front of the fins dressed
men. The man that was writing gave the
twelve men book and said something about
Bill Simpson and the State. Then one Of
the fine men read something abont Bill
Simpson aud the hog, and he and another Of
the iipe dressed men had the biggest quarre
you ever heard. thought the.v would fight
every minute, but they didn't. 1t was Bill
Simpson and the hog, and the hog and Bill
Simpson, and sometimes Mr.. Simpson, bu,
id seldom. Afler they quit quarreling,
the big man talked awhile to the twelve
men, and they went ont and stald short
time, and came back and said something to
the man at the desk. Then the man on the
bench said something to the man that put
me in the Office, and he took me ont and tied
me to q persimmon tree and commenced
fighting me with cowhide, and 1t made ms
so d--d mad that shook all the persimmon,
of the tree.
