COTTAGE in the whole land in which cannot
be found a chrome of Beatrice Cencl, puf-
porting to be counterpart of the wonder
full picture by Guido, now III the Palace
Barberini. at Rome. Those who, like the
writer, have been fortunate enough TO looh
upon the original have doabtless been Tor
tured beyond measure at these horrible at
tennis at reproduc tion-utter failures, each
and all of them.
Hawthorn. in his Marble Faun." says OF
the copies in Rome, even at the date OF MS
beautiful story: Everywhere we see OH
paintings, crayon sketches, canoes, enSraV
ings, Autographs, pretending to be Beatrice,
and representing the poor girl with blub-
bered eyes, leer of coquetry, merry look
as if she were dancing, a piteous look, as II
she were beaten and twenty other modes OF
fantastic mistake" OF special copy, by
his heroine he says: but here is Guido's very
Beatrice; SIZE that slept in the dungeon and
awoke betimes, to ascend the scatfold."
As this greatest of American authors says
elsewhere of the original: ''The picture is
it involved an untathomable depth OF sor-
| row. the sense of which came to the OBJ
| server by sort of intuition. 1t was sor-
row that removed this beautiful girl out OF
the sphere of humanity, and set her In far
off region, the remOteness OF whlch-whlle
vet her face is so close before us-makes us
shver as at spectre
This much by way of preface: In the
window of Kahn & Co., Canal street, is now
hung an old copy of Beatrice, in oil, the
property Of a family once very wealthy and
now reduced, which all pronounce, and we
speak advisedly, the finest copy OF the
original to-day in the United States, and, we
doubt if it can be surpassed either in draw
ing or color, in Europe.
The DEMOCRACY AND HARD MONEY
The New York Uorld, alluding to the re-
cent meeting at the Manhattan Club of rep
resentatives OF the Democratic party from
various parts of the country, says:
The men who addressed the Democracy p1
all the States from Maine 20 Louisiana, and
from New York to Nevada, and each and all
reaffirmed with fresh and various IN
stance, drawn from the special needs
and special feelings of their own
homes, the principles common to the
Democracy from one end of the country to
the other, and from the time of Jefferson
| until now.-the free trade, hard money, and
home rule which the Manhattan Club has
announced as the sum Of its own political
| creed This is the confession OF Demo,
cratic faith, quod ubiQue, quod semper, 4noo
omnibus. This is the creed alike OF McEnery
and Fitch, and Bayard, and Potter, and
Bradbury. Never III our history has 1t been
ayowed more frankly and more clearly
Never in our history has there been such
instant need of the practical, immediate
universal application Of it to our politics.

A curious case of a thrice married woman
who draws alimony from two divorced hus
bands, was discussed on Wednesday in the
New York Supreme Court. An inferior
court refused the application OF one OF the
discarded husbands to be released from hi:
legal obligation to support another mans
wife, and the case became public on his ap
peal.

The crop prospect in Tennessee, Kentucky

The discussion of the cremation question il
England has led to another proposition fol
disposal of the dead. A writer in Une of the
Manchester papers suggests "aquation," az
he calls it, or the burying of the dead fal
out at sea. He concludes thus: "There is
