MINIATURE OF SIR WALTER RALEIGH
We were shown this morning miniature
painting iu enamel, which is so rare piece of
Workmanship as to fall under the obst rvatlon
OF but few persons. The work in question was
1 porcelain medallion portrait, which was
p'oughed up in a field near Stratlord, in " est
uloreaud county, in this State, 10 1894 by a
volored man. The colors are as fresh and life
like as though just laid GU, aud the whole
piece, which is not much larger than silver
half dollar, bears the closet scrutiny uuder a
w1aguityng glass, which indeed only brings out
the perfection of it's execution. The minutest
points of detail 10 the picture are copied with
more than Photographic fidelity. The likeness
Is supposed to be that OF Sir Walter Raleigh
