The New Hampshire Democracy-Pendleton
tFrom the Evening Telegram OF yesterday.l
BOSTON, June 10, 1868.
The New Hampshire delegates to the Democratic
Convention in New York had meeting In Concord
last evening for the purpose OF gaining the various
sentiments upon the matter Of delegates to be nomi
mated. They seemed 10 be about evenly divided
between Pendeton for President and Holman for
Vice President on the one hand, and Hendricks for
President and Hancock for Vice President on the
other. Judge Chase's last letter has caused his
name to be in rather bad odor with the influential
democrats here so far as their assisting in nominal
ing him for the Presidency is concerned. Gen.
eral Hancock Is evidently the third choice OF
the delegates nom the State, although they
say that II he be nominated they will cordially sup
port him. Hendricks and Holman are the choice OF
one or more OF the New Hampshire delegates. Ex-
President Pierce has been consulted, but his vews
outwardy are the same a. expressed in his recently
published letter. He declines TO publicly commit
himself for any OF the candidates talked Of II In
said however that Pierces choice Is Pendleton and
Hendricks The delegates will probably leave Con-
cord July 1, and their headquarters will be ut the
Everett House. The alternates chosen Will generally
attend. II is probable that at least three hundred
democrats from New Hampshire will be In New York
during the Convention Mr. Anson y. Marshall, OF
Concord, Chairman OF the Democratic State Com
mIttee and also one Of the delegates has charge OF
the arrangements for the journey and for the stay OF
the deleg alton In New York.

Messonnier, the celebrated French painter. is
a dry and rather choleric little man, whose prin-
cipal eccentricity consists in the extreme care
which he takes of his villa in the vicinity of Paris.
This villa is kept clean and neat as one of the
Dutch villas in Arnheim, and Meissonnier gets
very angry and excited when any of his visitors
arrive with trace of mud on their boots. An
other peculiarly of the great French painter is
that he paints all his figures after living models
dressed up in the costumes of the originals.
Whenever be takes battle painting in hand, bis
slndio is crowded with vagabOnds in the pic
turesque uniforms Of the first empire; a journey
man tailor, who bears very strong resemblance
to the great emperor, and who wears, on such &C.
casions, the historical gray overcoat and little
three cornered hat, sits TO Meissonnier whenever
he paints military scenes from Napoleon's wars.
For his celebrated battle of Solferino" he was
unable to find model bearing sufficient resem-
blsnce TO the present emperor. So Meissonnier
had mask OF Napoleon Ill. made, and his rapin
had TO put it on. This counterfeit emperor was
an unfailing source Of merriment to such of Meis
sonnier's friends as were admitted TO his studio
while he was at work upon the Battle of Sol
ferno.n

A Row IN ROME ABOUT THE TAIL OF A Fox
The resident Americans in Rome are passing
through quite crisis, brought on by the tail of
fox. The Nimrod Club had hunt near the Eter-
nal City, and Mr.. Cushman. our consul was among
the first in at the death. He gained possession Of
the brush and presented 1t to the first lady
who followed him, the golden-haired Miss E. T..
The master of the hounds came up and said that,
according to the rules of their association, il was
his night and privilege invariably, to receive the
brush from the huntsman, and that he should, OF
course, have awarded it to the young lady. and
now only had TO request her to be good enough
TO consider that she received il from him and not
from Mr.. Cushman. Immediately on his return
TO Rome, Mr.. Cushman sent in his withdrawal
from the position of a member of the Roman
hunt, to the President Marchese Campagnano. but
received for reply the explanation that he was
not authorized to remove from Mr.. Cushmsn the
responsibility he had undertaken as subscriber for
three years, but that he would submit the case 10
the whole committee. In consequence OF this
misunderstanding, Miss Hosmer, Miss Cushman
and others have sent in their designations, and
propose TO arrange by next season separate
hunting committee. Miss Hosmer heading the sub
scription List with $500.

interview as follows:

teachers. Mr.. Mills the maestro remembered
very well. "He used TO play to me,n he said I;

OF Mr.. Gottschsk he had a sSadowy remembrance
