The painting took whole year, and is con-
sidered The finest of the en,ire list of numerous

three eminent artists--John Rodgers, Samuel
Halpin, and Samuel lIollyer The last named
having been induced 10 come from Europe to
finish it. The engravers have ably seconded
the successfu' labors OF the painter. None but
artists can fully appreciate the skill and labor
lavished on this engraving The general ef-
tect is very fine and Impressive, and the deli
rate finish 10 the heads will bear the most mi
mute inspection. The union Of line and sipple
is executed with unusual ability, and their
skilful combination has greatly contributed 10
the success of the eng-avers in this unsurpass-
ed proof of their genus.
Thelwork on the engraving alone cost over
seven thousand dollars, besides the cost of the
copyright, and is acknowledged by competent
judges The most eaborately flushed large work
of art evor engraved in America.
Fine copies of this magnificent picture, on
heavy plate paper, worth $40 each, are to be
given as premium to each subscriber to

HOT SUMMERS.

From the published records kept at
Nuremburg, in Bavaria, we translate
says the Detroit Free Press, the fol
lowing interesting facts relating to ex-
| treme.y hot seasons, in time past:
In the year 1882 the earth cracked
by reason of the heat, the wells and
streams in Alsace all dried up, and the
bed Of the river Rhine was dry.
In the year 1852 the heat was SO
great that sand exposed to the suns
rays was hot enough to cook eggs.
In ll60 great numbers Of soldiers
in the campaign against Bella died from
the effects of the heat.
In 1915 and 1877 the crops of hay
and oats failed completely.
In the years 1903 and 1904 man
could have crossed, dry 8hod, over the
rivers Seine, Loire, Rhine and Dan
ube.
In 1893 and 1894 multitude Of
animals persisted by reason of the heat,
which was so great that the harvest
dried up.
In l44U the heat was extraordinary
In the years 1888, 1889, 1910 and
1541 all the river were nearly dried
up.
In 1856 there was a great drouth,
which extended over nearly the whole
Europe.
Ia 1915 and 1916 there was in
Italy, France sand the Netherlands,
an overpowering heat.
In 1913 there were ffty-eight con
secutive days of extreme heat
The year 1878 was very hot, and as
were the first three years sof the eigh-
teenth century.
In IT'S it did not rain single time
from April until October The grow
ing grain was burnt, the rivers dried
up, the theaters (but wherefore is. not
stated) were closed by command of the
police. The thermometer showed IS
degrees Reaumer, equivalent to 113
degrees Fahrenheit. In irrigated gar
dens the fruit trees bIoomed twice.
In 1928 and 1924 there was very
great heat.
The summer Of l746 was very hot
and dry, the growing grain being
absolutely calcined. It did not rain
for many months
The years 1748, 1854, 1850, 1867,
1878, aud 1885 were also years in
which the summers were extremely hot.
In the famous comet year-I811-
the summer was very warm, and the
wine product that season was consider
ed very precious.
In the year 1913 the theaters had to
be closed on account Of the heat, the
highest temperature being IS Reaumcr,
OF Ill Fahrenheit,

THE three humorists, Nasty, Bill
ings and Twain, are thus described by
a Boston correspondent Of the New
York E'gcntng Post: "Nasby dislikes
the title of humorist He uses humor
us an instrument for the enforcement
Of his points, which always involves
some political principle. His 'best
holt, as he calls it, is no doubt strong
horse sense. Josh Billings is born
humorist, genial and tender hearted,
and heartily loved by those that know
him W. Il. He once said that nothing
would delight him more than 10 lecture
in Music Hall when he was eighty
years cid. With white hair falling over
his shoulders, and lift the audience.
He is now about sixty yeras Of age.
Mark Twain is more purely literary
man than either Of the trio. He is
very sensitive, and an unappreeiative
audience acts upon him like a cold
shower bath Twain will not lecture
next season; he has got riches and
married a wife, and wisely prefers to
take his ease"
