A NEW PAINTING BY RAPHAEL

Art circles have a fresh excitement
in the presumed discovery in Paris
of an ofiginsl Raphael. He painted
three representatives of the Virgin
snd the Child, one original and two
duplicates. One of the latter is in
Italy, and the ether in Rome; but
the former disappeared from Italy
seventy-fye years sgo, and has not
been seen since. And is is this lost
picture which is now supposed to
have been discovered, and the intrin-
sic evidence which itself furnishes is
very strong in favor of the prespmp-
ton. Even TO one who is not a con-
noisseur it presents all the marks of
Raphaefs best style; the Babe, in
deed, should seem TO be such as no
one but Raphael could paint. The
Virgin is perfect from her forehead
down; but the upper part of her head
indeed, all the upper part of the
picture, is sadly imperfect. There
have been made. apparently, some
wretched attempts to restore that
portion, and even TO modify the form
and color of the Virgins hair. A
thick crust Of superficial colorine
rests like cap on the head an6
brow; and it is thought that its re
moval will reveal the original touches
of the artist.

WILLIAM B. ASTOR.

The other day, as Twas walking on
Broadway, / saw William B. Astor the
richest man in New York, walking
with true democratic unpretension,
and with the air of man who was
fully occupied but not overburdened
with business cares. Few of the
hundreds whom he passed would
have suspected that the portly, Wig
orous man dressed in plain put scru-
pulous neat black, so as to look like
an attendant at funeral, with rather
gross features, forid complexion and
grizzled mustache and whiskers, after
the manner Of Kaiser William, was
the owner of acres of real estate and
scores of dwellings In the wealthy
city. 1t was a sunny spring morning
and he wore no oyercoat. He seemed
in the best of health, and walked
with quick and firm step, looking
down at the pavement every few min
utes, and then up again with q rapid
movement as if he was startled at
something. His face is neither hard
nor genial but has Dutch stolidity
and not much animation about it
Still l imagine it to be the face of a
good father and husband, who looks
out for his own interests and is not
troubled by any absurd notions of
giving his money away to people who
would not thank him for the gift.
He works hard, taking care of his
vast property, and except for the
glory of the thing, can't see that he
is much happier than the average of
humanity.-SpringSeld Republican.

THE GUELPHS.
The English Royal FamiIy's History.

The learned in the remote antlqui
ties are accustomed to say that Queer
Victoria is descended from the hero
Walden, of whom the Norsemen. made
q god, and who gave his somewhat un-
gracious name to our modern day
Wednesday. An Italian adventurer,
Azon d. Estate, engaged his sword in
the service of the Emperor Conradt
towards the close OF the eleventh cen
tury, and founded the house of Han
over by marrying Cunegunda of
Guelph, very wealthy woman. He
dropped his own name and was hence.
forth known as Guelph. Their son
married the widow of the Earl OF Kent,
the brother of Edward the ConfessOr,
and these found much favor In the
eyes of Henry the Fourth, who took
away Otho of Ssxony's Bayarlan pos
sessions and gave them to the newly
married paIr. Lucky marriage
brought this enterprising family high
er, until one Of the sons married a
daughter of Henry the second, King
OF England, who succeeded in getting
her father to give her husband the
countships of Brunswick and Luen-
berg. These countships became duch-
les under Otho the Fourteenth, and
William of Guelph became a Duke.
The Guelephs were fettered through
variety OF marriages until they came
to the seven sons OF the great grand
father of George the First, King of
England. Those sons all dukes, were
each entitled to a share of his posses
sions. But in order not to split up
the family coronet the brothers made
a solemn compact that only one of
them should make 4 legal marriage.
This would make the autonomy of the
house complete. and the compact was
adhered to. The sixth son was the
one who contracted the legal marriage,
and his eldest son married the grand
daughter OF James the FIRST, thus clear
ing the way for an alliance with the
crown OF Great Britain. The house
of Hanover owes its existence on En-
glish soil TO day to judicious snatch
This son obtained the title
of Duke of Hanover, and, as his ia
ther had done, prevailed on his broth
er to devote himself to celibacy. But
a morganatic marriage, contracted
with Eleonora d. Albrense, French
refugee from Louis Fourteenth's ty-
ranny, has always been thorn in the
side OF the Hanover dynasty. A daugh-
ter by this marriage became the wife ,
of George the First, and every one

ner in which she was treated, and how

her deathbed she summoned her ty-
ant to answer for his crimes at the

CLARA LOUlSES FIRST PUFF.

Everything OF personal nature
relating to the lorinao donna, Miss
Kellogg seems to be of interest, she
being the first American singer who'll
ly educated in this country. We
learn from q paragraph going the
rounds of the press that Clara Louise
is the only surviving child of George
kellogg, who was born in New Hart
ford, Connecticut, in 1872, and grad
uated from the Wesleyan University
in 1887. From 1888 to 1S41 he was
principal of the Sumpter college in
South Carolins. He became noted
as an inventor of improvements, and
as a manufacturer, which business be
followed in Birmingham in 1869
His wife was Miss Jane Elizabeth
Crosby, OF Mid6letown. The writer
well remembers the early career OF
the now famous and favorite prinao
donna. She was the prOtege OF Col
onel Henry G. Stebbins, and the first
newspaper article that was written OF
any consequence was from the pen OF
N. z. Willis, and appeared in the
Home Journal. MIR. Stebbins escort
ed the modest and bashful but gifted
young singer to Willis home On the
Hudson, and the poet immortalized
her in one of his famous 1dlewild
letters.

TIE Commercial AdreTtiSer draws
an impressive lesson from General
Walkers latest census publication,
relating to the comparative weslth of
the States before and after the war.
The true value of the country in 1850
was $1,000, 100000; in 1860, Sl6,-
900, 200, ,000. Ofthese amounts, the
eleven States that went into the re-
bellion are credited with 81, ,2S6, ,000,-
600, in 1850; s., 200, 900, 900. in 1850;
and S2,I37, ,000,000 in 1870. Thus
We see at the two earlier dates the
rebelIious States. had nearly = third
of the entire wealth of the Union,
while in 1870 they had but one-elev-
enth. The Commercial recalls, In
this connection, the solemn words OF
Lincoln in his second inaugural ::
"Fondly do we hope--feryently do
we pray that this mighty scourge OF
war may speedily pass away. Yet if
God wills tha. it continue until al
the wealth piled by the hondsman's
two hundred and fifty years OF unre-
Quilted toll shall he sunk, and until
every drop of Blood drawn with the
lash shall be paid for by another
drawn with the sword, as was said
three thousand years ago, so still 1t
must be said, The judgments OF the
Lord are true and just altogether"

a NUMBER OF leading capitalists are
about to construct a new harbor on
the Gulf of Mexico, at the mouth OF
the Brazos river, about thirty five
miles south of Galveston bay. The
persons at the head of the movement
are men who are heavily operating in
all southern railroad enterprises. 1t
is anticipated that its success will
revolutioniza the commerce OF the
whole State OF Texas. Tie harbor
will, it is said, be superior to any in
that section, while the site chosen
offers peculiar facilities that will
enable the work to be completed at
comparatively slight expense. Short
trunk lines will be built to connect
the new harbor and city with the
GREAT railroad system of Texas and
the southwest.

THE NEW FOOTMAN.

A gentleman was going out one
day in his carriage, to call with his
wife, when he discovered that he had
left his visiting cards. He ordered
his footman, who had recently come
into his service, to go to the mantle
piece III the sitting-room, and bring
the cards he should see there. The
servant did as he was ordered, re-
tanning the articles to be used as di-
rected, and off started the gentleman,
sending in .he footman with cards
whenever the "not at home" oc-
Cured. As these times were nu-
merous, he turned to the servant with
the question
SHOW many cards have you left ? D
"Well, sir" said the footman, very
innocenly, "there's the king of spades,
the six of hearts, and the ace OF
clubs"
'sThe duce.' exclaimed the mas
ter.
''That's gone.'
