MccEEIrAs's sruDro.- Following

in the wake of the immortal CHM,
whom We pardon for filling up the
columns of the Chronicle with Ormsby
| county matters, that legitimately be-
longs to US, We visited Macs studio
Yesterday. He has just completed a
portrait of Charles Cowing. a deceased
| brother of the Cowing Brothers of this
town. Poor Charley died in Sacra
lnento three years ago last March, of
small pox. The portrait is from \
photograph, and the extraordinary
speaking likeness Mac has produced, is
truly wonderful, as the artist had never
seen the original. Each feature is per
fectIy delineated and the expression
and complexion are faultless. The
execution OF this portrait reflects more
credit on the artist than any OF his for
mer productions, and proves him to
be at the head of his profession. There
are %several other pictures in the room
equally good. but none painted under
the same difficult circumstance. The
little daughter of S. E. Jones, of Elm
pire CITY, stands so lifelike from the
canvas that the picture must be seen
ere it can be appreciated or described.
We can say no more to McClellan's
praise than that he is an artist.
A CHARITABLE ACTIoN.-Father
Tormev, the Pastor of the Catholic
Church in this town, tool charge on
Tuesday of little Katie Malone, who
neglected by her mother, has for some
time been under the care of some of

GINA where, by the kindness and care
of the excellent ladies presiding in
that institution, she will be raised to a
life of responsibility and virtue. This,
is truly an act of charity n mercy,
and the words, ''Ina~tnuch as We have
done it unto the least OF these little
ones, We have done it unto me-" Will
surely apply and bring to the benefac
tor a blessing.
