AN ATTRACTIVE PICTURE.-Mr. j. G. Fletch-
er has been at work for two or three years past
on life size painting of our Saviour, and has
produced bust figure, which, as an original
ideal, has already won the unqualified admira-
ton of critics here and in Boston Both in
form and color, and in sentiment and treat
ment, the work is noteworthy. Our Lord is
supposed to be teaching the lesson of the Vine,
and there is an expression of serenity and
sweetness in his face, well described in the letter
of Publins Lentulus Governor of Judea. sent to
the Roman Senate during the life of Christ.
Mr. Fletcher has not attempted to reproduce
the mysterious sanctity of the old symbolic pic
lures by adding coronal to the head OF bewil-
dering subtleties of expression to the face, but
the humanity of Christ looks forth in natural
and healthful countenance, which at the same
time is irradiated by holy beauty and tender
ness. The picture is tastefully draped and
forms valuable attraction to Messrs. Scbu-
macher's free art gallery

CONCORD, Dec. 13-The Democratic State
Convention met here to-day. Pending organi-
cation resolutions were prepared giving the
party platform. The first advocates the perpe-

every citizen in accordance with the fundamen-
tai law. The third, opposition to every species
of corruption in all the departments of the
State and National Governments The fourth,
no privileged classes and no privileged capital.
The fifth, tariff that raises money for neces-
sary expenses of the federal government, and
not for monopolists. The resolves farther de-
nounce the establishment of martial law at the
South as unconstitutional and atrocious advo-
Gates reform in the civil service of the govern
mcnt and reaffrm confidence in Governor Wes-
ton, pledging him the support of the party for
reelection.

with one Vice President from each county.
President Rand made an extended speech re-
viewing the present administration, attacking
it severely and contrasting the records of the
Republican and Democratic parties. Among
other things he manifested willingness to join
with the moderate Republicans, Schurz and
Trumbull, or even Horace Greeley in order t.
defeat Ku-lklux legislation.
Gov.'Weston was renominated by ACCLAIM
ton and accepted in q short speech Henri
