CHOICE AND VALUABLE PIcrURSs.-
We were yesterday shown a very fine
engraving picture Of Grant and his
family. 1t is of good size, suitable for
framing for the adornment Of parlor and
d~rawingroom. 1t is published by per-
mission, and copied from the original
painting by H. Cogswell, Esq, in pos
session Of the Grant family at Washing
ton. It represents General Grant in an
a position, with his hands in his
pockets, standing beside his wife, who
is seated in q chair, and near them are
their four children-three boys and a
girl. The surrounding scenery is OF n
rural nature, with tall shady trees, ETC.,
and the portraits are said to be very
lifelike and natural. 1t is a very finely
executed picture, and Il which every
true lover Of America should desire TO
possess. We were also shown o
similarly executed drawing, representing
a copy of the famous Joint Resolution
of the Thirty-eighth Congress, propos-
ing the amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, approved Febru-
ary lst, 1865, abolishing slavery, with
a fac smile Of the signatures Of all
the Senators and Representatives who
voted upon the passage Of the resolu-
ton, numbering in all nearly two hun
dred. The printing is very neatly q
handsomely done, and the whole is ele-
gantly bordered and ornamented in the
centre, above the signatures, with II
beautiful allegorical and expressive Wig
nette engraving. Prominent among the
signatures are those Of President Lin
coin, Vice President Hamlin, Speaker
Colfax, and Forney, Secretary Of the
Senate. 1t is almost or quite as desir-
able an addition to the home picture
gallery az the picture of Grant and his
family, and both are for sale at a low
price, bringing them within the reach
of all. Mr.. j. A. Bonham, agent, IS
