Through the superior genius Of Mr.,
Alfred Freeman, one OF our mostpopu-
lar artists, the proprietor Of this paper
and his family are enabled to preserve
Il most cXqulslely natural picture Of

CHANGING at 1t yesterday rs 1t was sus-
pended IN It's frame from the wall, we
thought we had Lever looked upon
anything more faithfully liie-like, and
flncied that we had but to pronounce
the dead darllng's name, and its lisp
ing tongue would answer with its lost
music and the soft patter OF its little
feet would be heard upon the floor MS
OF old. The portrait is liie-size and in
oil--the negative having been taken by
Mr. Freeman, and, after enlargement,
the addition of the oil process being
made. And in this creation the artist
mas brought out the Ineaments of the
subject and the shading with n dis
tinctness ut once soft yet brilliant, aud
in every particular shows the utmost
artistic cUnsCientiOusness.

The Eire,nen's Concert.

a most enthusiastic reception was
given Miss McGee, Professor Bora
and assistants last night at Odd Eel
lows hall. Every part Of the grand
room was occupied. 1t was one of the
largest, most intelligent and elegant
audiences that ever assembled upon
any public occasion in this city. The
members of the fire company appeared
in their brilliant uniform, and with the
sparkling toilets of the ladies the audi
forum presented gala and dazzling
appearance.

We had the pleasure, yesterday, of
an introduction to Colonel S. G. Grasty,
general passenger agent of the Pied
mont Air neralway,an Major F.A.
McGee, passenger agent for this state,
of the same route. Both of these gem
tlemen are acknowledgements for the
purpose representing the advantages
of their line to travellers going east, and
from the terms of adulation expressed
by many who have passed over their
route, as respects its speed and comfort,
we do not think its visiting officers can
overestimate the mcontastible merits
of their road.

TWAS THE KNIFE THAT DID 1T.
George Bogus HarI.Karl's Riley Cook.

| George Bogus, n blackamoor despcra-
Ito, challenged Riley Cook, another Vi
tali2ed shape Of ebony, to a game of
draw poker or some drawing amuse-
ment, yesterday, at Aaron's key sa-
loon, on rat row. Cook accepted, the
deck was brought out and the game
played, when Bogus perched himselfon
! his ear and caused some CONSERVATION
toCook, by stating to this fellow black
sheep that the stakes were "his NJ
and nj once gobbled them. Cook then
intinated that Bogus precisely lied,
and that Bogus must let go his hand on
that money.
BY this time they had reached the
sidewalk, and rs Cook made his de-
mand it is alleged that Bogus tried to
spatter Cooks nose all over his face by
striking him with his fist. Various wit
nesses say that then both of them drew
knives, Bogus being n double-edged
dirk, about four inches long, and Cooks
small pocket knife The contestants
then "locked horns" and proceeded to
freely carve. AS a, knifest, Bogus
proved the mqsteYi IS he only received
an inconsequential cut on one of his
hands, while he punctured the feeble
Cook above umbilicus through to the
cavity the stomach, tickled him under
the floating ribs and dissected him UNI
der the right knee, and all done in rail-
road time with that four inch blade.
After which, Bogus suppOsing that he
had effectually cooked Cooks goose,
started to become scarce, but before he
hand got twenty steps from the bloody
ground, he was offered by the proprie-
ter OF the Cosmopolitan hotel pistol
with as many chambers i'm it rs there
are rooms in his hotel, ii be would just
stop. He stopped, and under the sgis
of officer Nichols was promenaded Off
to Jail.
The discounted Cook was picked
up and carried to negro cabin near
the river, where his wounds, which
are not necessarily fatal, were dressed
by DR.. Ewing.
