FKOM NEW YORk.

New York, %. A Washington despatch
says it is stated that no copy Of the Presi-
dents letter to John e. Williams of New
York is retained there, but there is reason to
believe that instead of abiding to any issue
of the $44, 100000 reserve, it urges the i'm
portance of the banks of New York pursuing
course of the utmost liberality in aiding le-
climate business transactions.
New York, 20. The Police Commissioner

Young Fearnanght ON Canvas,

There is still another attraction in Hendee's
window on Water strcet-a painting Of Mrs.
DArthenay's celebrated trained stallion,
Young Fearnaught." 1t must require an
artists eye and dextrous hand to transfer to
the dull canvas the characteristic points of
tearnaught, they are so many and varied.
But they are all there, or nearly all, to attest
to the accomplishments of the artist; so, as
one said, on glancing at the picture, "the
horse looks as though he was going to speak"
All the grace of the neck is brought out, even
to the lines caused by the gentle curve; all
the youthful, intelligent expression of the
handsome face is preserved; and, in brief, all
those points usually so hard to be seized up
on and made effective by the artist, appear in
almost their perfectness. The picture was
not reproduced from smaller one, but the
pattern used was the colt itself. The result
of his work must be particularly gratifying to
the artist, Mr.. Benz. F.. Morse of this city.
1t is pity that an artist with such talent
should be permitted to lay aside his brush,
and we hope he will receive proper encour-
agement in the art. Some paintings of horses
that we wot of appear like caricatures by the
side of this
