MR.. WILLARD, the artist, has just finished
portrait of our late mayor, James b. Blake.
The likeness, as was to be expected is excellent.
THE head sits with dignity on the shoulders, and
the features of the man are admirably repro
dnced. His spirit, too, is in the picture. Mr..
Willard, we are told, is to paint the largesized
portrait of Mr.. Blake which is to hang in Me-
chanics hall. That it will be satisfactory the
success of the portrait just painted proves.
Everybody secs the fitness of having in one of
our most frequented centres, a portrait of one
whose good manners and whose example for
energy, fidelity, and public spirit, are constant
inspiration to us all. 1t is fitting, too, that one
of Worcester's best and ablest men should be
pictured by the most talented portrait painter
whohas ever made our city his home. Mr. Will
lard we are glad to learn, has engagements to
paint quite number of portraits, some of them
an other cities, which will keep him fully occu-
pied for some time.

TIE high joints signed the proto-
col Of the Anglo American treaty, on
Monday. 1t was engrossed in dupli-
cate, and one copy furnished the
English commissioners aud one re-
served for the United States. While
the general features of the treaty
meet with appreciation, there are
sever senators who are NOT entirtiy
satisfied with the details. A promi
nent member of the foreign relations
committee, who is friendly with the
administration. and who has given
the treaty a thorough examination
is of the opinion that there are many
important concessions of principles
involved in the way in which it now
stands, although upon all subjects in
which the United States is now i'm
terested it is his opiuioa that Qua
government has received the most
concessions. These details rather &c
TO future complications, which the
English commissioners are said &c
have provided against with great

How BOYS Become Rich and Don't.
The Dubuque Times in n sensible
article, figures up Whist a young man
spends in tobacco, aud what il would
amount to in lifetime, If saved. A
moderate allowance for a habituaI
smoker is estimated at 500, aud
these who use the weed know it Is
low. The Times says: 1--WE will
begin with a young man seventeen
years OF age. Between his sevcn~
teenth and eighteenth birthday he
expends 500 Cor cigars. That 500,
placed at 10 per cent, on his eight,
zenith birthday, would by his Mines
teenth birthday amount to Sll0.-
that Sll0 placed at interest until his
twentieth birthday, would amount
to sI2l. That Sl2l placed at interest
until his 2lst birthday would amount
TO $l33. 60. BY continuing the calcu'
lation the smoker will find that the
800 expended during his seventeenth
gear, If simply put out at interst al
ten per cent, and reinvested annual
ly--a very thing to do-by the time
the individual had arrived at good
hale old age, ready to retire from
business and enjoy life, would
amount to the startling sum $40
03!
| A simple operation in division will
show that n ten cent cigar smoked by
boy Of seventeen, 10y the time he il
sixty. five years old, will cost him

consumed during his eighteenth yea

That consumed during his twentl

form, SO as to be sure there is NJ

as to the aggregate of the annua
amounts, plus interest on the same

THE Springfield Republican tells
this story: While a train on the
Boston and Albany railroad was
ru inning at a speed of twenty i've
miles an hour, the other day, on a
on a short curve between Richmond
and the State line, the engineer no.
ticed a man walking on the track
some distance ahead of the train. -
He blew the whistle and rang the
bell, but did not seem to attract his
attention. He then made every en-.
deavor to stop the train, but all to nc
avail. The cow-catcher struck tho
mar and threw him in front Of the
engine, against the boiler, and there
he remained until the engineer stopp'
ed the locomotive, when the stranger
