tied The Rock of Ages a beautiful tc-
male is clinging to Il cross in the midst OF
a sea. Her garments flow naturally
around her form. and the artist is entitled
to great praise for the skill he manilc,t>
in his attempt to delineatr proportions and
dress. Prof. Guicta has II correct idea of
proportion. and illustrates most efficiently
with his pencil the ideas that lave sug-
gcStcd the '.Rock of Ages"
We have not room even if We had ca
parity. 10 give a detail of our views as to
Prof. Gurita rs an artist. So far Il VT
can Judge his pencil is unsurpassed so far
rs landscape painting is concerned. We
cannot say he has no supcriOrs as to por-
trait painting, but do most chccrfu.ly give
praise to his dclineation OF the works of
nature as seen in mountains. dalcs. forests,
and foliage. In this county he beholds
scenery that umirds him of his native
Italy. and his brain becomes enthusiastic
in this respect. Hence he portrHys more
truly th,sc things on canvass. The effort
in question will please all who have Il taste
for the T>thctical.

To Delinquent Taxpayers.

FELLOW CITIZENS: We most earnestly
call your attention to the necessity which exists
for making some immediate arrangement Tor the
settlement of your taxes.
We know the straitened circumstances in
which many of you IRE placed without any
agency OF your own. and our sSympathles are al
with YOU We would not willingly crease the
troubles which so many Of you hav, to bear,
and it is for this reason we now appeal you TO
come forward and make some arrangement TO
prevent sale of your property. Your failure
TO do SO can have n other effect than to increase
the costs.
You will find the Collectors, acting under the
orders of the Finance Committee, ready and
anxious to make any settlement that will insure
the payment of your dues to the city, and pre-
vent the advertisement and sale OF your proper

The law is imperative, and II not voluntarily
settled by YOU, they must be settled py taA
sale. w
Some of this property is now in litigation IN
the Courts for sale and settlement OF the rights
of the parties and some may be unrepresented.
On all such cases being made known to us, an
Arrangement can probably be effected to prevent
an advertisement and sale, with its attendant
costs. 49,, -,
Possibly. also, some Of the tax bills in the
hands of the Collectors may have been hereto
fore settled or improperly charged; IN all SUCH
cases we invite the parties to appear before the
Collectors or Finance Committee for eXalnna-
ton and settlement.
With the earnest hope that you will come
forward and settle your taxes, we have post
poned the sale which was to have taken place
on the first of April to the second Wednesday
in April, (the 10TH
This will also delay until the 25th of March

New YORK, March lS.-The Tribunes
Washington dispatch says "A conversation
with Sumner yesterday revealed the fact that
he had not been asked to preside at the Clncln-
natl convention for the simple reason that there
is nobody having authority to offer him such
position but there is little doubt that he will
attend the convention, and there is little doubt
that if so he will be elected to preside over It's
deliberations In his conversation to-day he
said he was master Of his own opinions and
that while he would not on any account ally
himself to a party wherein democrats were
made candidates, and wond not on any account,
vote for or encourage the election OF democrats
neither would he on any account support Zen.
Grant for denomination or reelection. His col
league Wilson, had a long conversation with
him on Friday when the whole subject was dis
cuSsed Sumner announced to Wilson that he
feared the time had come or would shortly
come when their paths partially would dlverge,
but that he hoped no personal untrlendless
would grow out Of their political alienation.
He advised Wilson to go with other strong
friends of the President to Grant and urge him
to withdraw his name as candidate before the
American people aud not allow it TO go before
the delegates at the Philadelphia convention,
and thus achieve a name for unsehsh and
magnauimous conduct second to none In hlsto-
nv; that il he persisted in being candidate,
and Office holders should succeed in renomlna-
ting him, he would simply and emphatlcally be
dlsuuion candidate SO far as party is con-
cerned.
The World says Sumner does not favor the
nomination of Davis at Cncinnati and is of
the opinion that national man not allied to
any party or faction should be nominated 1t
is understood Sumner and his friends will work
Tor the nomination of Trumbull or Charles +.
Adams Some assert that Sumner himself is
DESTROYS OF the nomination.
The Times Washington dispatch says Gar
field say sTipton had noauthorlty to use his name,
Garfield flor when he gets ready to leave the re-
publican party he will 10 advance give broad no.
tice of the fact. Dawes in response to aquerry
on the subject writes letter 10 which he says
no one has any authority for the statement IN
respect to myself attributed to Senator Upton.
| have no views in a matter hesitate to avow.
| have no sympathy with the political move
mcnt at Cincinnati and look alone TO the Phil
adephia convention for authoritative action OF
the republican party, yet can but regard as
impoIltc and uuwlse the course pursued by
some prominent politicians towards many OF
those who are earnest aud honest in their sup
port of the principles of the republican party. "
The World hopes the democrats will have
nothing to do with the Cincinnati Convention.
1t urges the democrats to pursue liberal
course and thinks it would be very impolitic to
press any candidate upon the convention.
