This great American artist has lately
been on a visit to our city executing orders
for the painting of the distinguished equine
celebrities Brown Dick, Jack Malone and
Vandal, which are now on exhibition at the
Maxwell House.
Mr.. Troye now stands at the head of his
profession, having devoted years of study
and labor to it, both in this country and
Europe. Within the last thirty-fiye years
he has painted almost all Of the American
horse celebrities, and great many in Eu-
rope. During period embracing the last
fifteen years he has spent great deal of
time in travelling and painting in the East.
visiting the Arabs and taking hkenesses of
their noted animals. Also visiting the
Holy Land, where he made some paintings
of the Dead Sea, the forests Of Lebanon,
and the river Jordan, which have been
greatly admired both in Europe and this
country, andhave been sold at large prices.
He however, has made animal individuality
his special study, and reaps his reward in
being acknowledged the peer of any living
man in faithful portraiture.
OF the specimens, alluded to, he has
left us. no other encomium need be passed
than TO say the great artist himself was
satisfied AS we know the horses init
mately, we can safely say they are ife-like
to an eminent degree. Brown Dick, now
the joint property of Mr.. Cockrill and Maj.
Cheatham, is distinguished as the peerless
race horse of his day, fully justifying his
pure and rich pedigree, descended from a
long line of distinguished ancestry; and if
there is any science in breeding, will vet
occupy high niche in the temple of fame
as breeder Of the other two, Jack Ma
lone is the joint property of Gen. Harding
and Mr.. Cockrill, and Vandal the property

be said they are purely and richly bred,

RcsianaIion of President Burns

Nj. Burns, Esq, President of the Nash
vile and Northwestern Railroad, yesterday
rendered his resignation to the Board of
Directors. His services in that position
have been marked with ability, and all will
regret that his connection with one of the
important railroad routes of the country
should terminate. This road having been
leased to the Chattanooga road for period
of six years, Mr.. Burns feels that he can
be of no more benefit to an enterprise
which he nursed with tender care from the
beginning, and under many disadvantages,
pushed through to completion.

their way to the country yesterday would,
if mixed together in one heap, present a
rare blending Of substantials delicacies,
luxuries, toys and other jimcracks. Our

Banning Sir: 1t gives me peculiar
pleasure to speak in commentator Of your

For all cases of dropping, fatness of chest,
roundness of shoulders and incipient spinal
weakness and disorder, am confident it
will furnish an immediate and permanent
relief: therefore. esteem it both priv

and the public to its great value.
