Native Genius.

Something over year ago Knoxville became
aware of the fact that u genius was IN us mlost,
in the person Of Lloyd Branson,a youth TO tor
tune and to fame unknown" but whose efforts
in painting evinced high order OF talent. Re
cognizing the fact, DIR. Boyd and number OF
other gentlemen exerted themselves in his be-
half and q sum of money was raised to enable
him to prosecute his studies and qualify himself
for the position he was designed by nature to
FILL
Young Branson during the past year. has
painted several excellent portraits, which have
gained for Him considerable local reputation,
and have been highly complimented by gentle
men familiar with art, not only in the large
cities of this country, but in Europe.
Young Branson's precocity was developed at
a very tender age when he would obtain small
quantities of paint from the house painters and
portray the features of prominent men which
he sold to his schoomates for small sums.
These were executed with scarcely an effort,
and though crude as the infantile effort of Ben
iamn West with his baby sister, may yet, II
Fortune is proptious, be cited with as much
pride as that of the distinguished artist above
mentioned.
Not only has Branson a remarkably correct
idea of mere painting but also of models, as
we are told his first being made when at play
with some of his childish friends. and if we are
correctly informed. before he had given any IN
dicatons of his extraordinary talents the ma
terial used being common clay and the design,
the head and bust of an Indian, with the pro-
jectng check bones correctly. developed, the
type of manhood no doubt being intuitively
suggested and acted on by the color of tho ma
terial used. Lloyd has host Of warm friends
and admirers in this city, and we hope that he
furnished with facilities to pursue his studies
and thus enabled take his stand among Ameri.
can artists whose productions evnce talent equal
TO that of any other nation.

ZONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.
A Young Man COmuaits Suicide In Chatta-


Tho Chattanooga Herald of yesterday con-
tains the following in relation to the suicide of
young man named John Markwater, which
took place in that city at twelve o clock, noon {;
The deceased had been engaged in the dairy
business, was native of Switzerland, and was
about thirty-two years of age. From what we
can gather in the way of Information, he had
sometime since extended his business by plac-
ing himself under heavier obligations than he
could well meet on their becoming due, and it
is thought that this circumstance, which had
for some time weighed heavily upon his mind,
led to the rash act.
He left letter on his person which gave
thorough instructions as to the disposition OF
his property, and freely exculpated all persons
but himse from being in any way instrument
tai TO the deed. His property was willed in
this letter to young woman, now living with
the family of Mr.. Jacob KuntZ, to whom it is
said he was engaged to be married as soon as he
could release himself of debt. A coroner's ju-
ry was summoned, and rendered o verdict in
accordance with the circumstances Of his death.
He had the reputation of being an honest and
industrious youugma

what Boyd.s Attorneys mink.

On the evening of the day on which Thomas
G. Boyd's celebrated letter was published in
the CHRONICLE, two of his counsel in the cases
referred to, and sought to be dismissed by n lit
tie diplomacy, wero engaged in conversation on
the subject-onc n Republican, the other Dem
ocrat.
The Republican said to his Democratic asso-
ciate: This is the result of false teaching by
Democratic newspapers in charging Grant with
being corrupt, and being ready to do anything
for political effect. Boyd has supposed his party
papers would tell nothing but the truth, and has
been mixed and you see the awkward fix in
which our client is thus placed by Democratic
lies"
The Democratic law heard his Republican
associate through. then shrugged his shoulders
and replied That can't be true. Boyd was
never misled by anything that appeared in the
Democratic papers. He has been u Democrat
too long, and understands the tactics of the par
ty too we'll to believe anything that a Demo-
cratic newspaper would say in regard to poll
teal opponent-especially in regard to Grant"

LIvINGsToNE's MEMORY.
Another thing which specially attracted my at
tenton was his wonderfully retentive memory.
When we remember the thirty years and more he
has spent in Africa, deprived OF books, we may well
think 1t an uncommon memory that can recte
whole poems of Burns, Byron, Tennyson and Long
fellow. Even the poets Whittier and Lowell were
far better known to him than to me. He knew an
endless number Of facts and names OF persons con-
nected with America much better than l, though 1t
was my peculiar province as journalist to have
known them. One reason, perhaps, for this fact may
be that the Doctor never smokes. so that his brain
Is never beogged, even temporarily, by the fumes OF
the insidious weed. Besides, ne has lived all his
life almost we may say, within himself-in world
Of thought which revoved inwardly, seldom awak-
ing out Of it except to attend to the immediate
practical necessities Of himself and his expedition.
The immediate necessities disposed Of, he must have
relapsed into his own inner world, into which he
must have conjured memories Of his home, rea-
tons, friends, acquaintances familiar readings,
ideas and associations, 30 that wherever he might
be, or by whatsoever he was surrounded, his own
world had attractions far superior to that which
the external world by which he was surrounded
had.
