R% The REGARD gives the
following description of a beau
tiful picture, the work of the
artist Oregon Wilson, of New
York. 1t is entitled +..-.
"woNAN's DEVOTION"
Its size is six by eight feet.
and contains two life-size figures.
It is intended to illustrate an in
cidcnt Of the late war which
occurred near Winchester, Va.
The contending armies had
fought over a bloody field nearly
all day, The death shots fell
thick and fast on every side. Foot
to foot and steel to steel the
|combatants disputed the ground,
and many a gallant soldier fell
on that fateful day. At last the
Confederates retired, and the
Federals bivouacked for the
night. The fight had been con-
tested, over large extent of
territory, and the dead and
wounded were scattered far and
wide. In some places the. dis
abled of both sides lay together.
The ladies of Winchester and
surrounding country left their
homes to attend to the wounded.
A. young lady ofthe vicinity, who
was we'll known for her great
devotion to the then fallen for
tunes of the. South, encountered
a young staff officer who was
suffering from dangerous wound
in the breast, his life current ebb-
ing fast away. To staunch the
blood was her first care. This
done. she placed his head upon
her lap, and in this position de-
termined to hold him until assis-
tance arrived. It was not long
before a Federal surgeon with
his aides, approached, and ex-
amined the wound. He told the
fair attendant that if the wounded
officer could have perfect rest he
might recover. She looked at
his death-like and pallid face ; it
touched the tcnderest chord of
her heart. She felt that he was
fighting for the independence Of
his native State /; that he had
offered his life in its service.
These reflections and the mute,
but eloquent pleading of the pale
features before her filled her
heart with the tenderest emotions
for the sufferer, and she deter
mined to save him. To her he
was more than a Confederate
soldier. Through the long dreary
night she never moved her pa
tient, but held him as if the fate
of her own heart and the desti-
nies of nations hung upon his
waning life. She heard the cries
and means of the wounded that
went up towards a cold and pitt
less sky. Natures lamp burned
dirnly, and the new moon soon
sank below the distant horizon.
She was alone. Finally, sleep
and death silenced all, but still
the brave girl held her charge.
Long hours passed and at last,
the grey light Of the coming day
began to streak the eastern sky,
and the rosy tints, lovely heralds
lof' the sun, had given the first
blush of morn, when the grey
mists yet hung over the damp
ground, or enveloped the hill
Sides. Just a: daybreak is the
time seized upon by the artist to
fix the scene, and there he has
seated on the field of death one
of Virginia's beautiful daughters.
The youth lays stretched at full
length on the cold ground, his
head resting in her arms. The
scene is one which will call forth
the highest effort of genius in one
of the most difficult walks in the
art of painting. The mornings
light reveals the wreck and car

Justify us in saying that it will be

interest to the public appearance

OREGON LUMBER.-The lumber resour-
ces of the State of Oregon are abundant.
Dense forests of the finest fir, cedar and
spruce grow upon the coast and along the
banks of the Columbia river and its tribu-
taries as far up as the Dallis. There is an
inexhaustable supply of the finest and best
quality of timber at the mouth Of the Col
umbia river, and back of the town Of Asto-
ria is the most magnificent forest of spruce
and yellow fir that is to be found anywhere
on the Pacific coast. Nature has done
everything to make forest of timber along
the Columbia source of great profit to the
lumberman; the finest of timber being
handy TO shipping, and as there is fine wa
ter power on all the small streams emptying
into the Columbia, lumber can be manufac-
tured very cheap. The bottom lands along
the river are also covered with a thick
growth of pine, maple, alder, cedar, ash and
cotton wood.
