A Curious Historical Relic.

A curious and interesting art relic is
among the contributions to the art ex-
hlbitiOn at the Lotus club. It consists
of a miniature portrait of General
George Washington, accompanied with
a portrait of Martha Washington, each
painted on ivory, and encased in a
medallion solid gold frame. Each
miniature IS surrounded by hair from
the original. The pictures have, for
nearly hundred years, been in the
possession of the Washington family.
The portrait of General Washington
was painted in the federal camp during
the siege of Boston, by Charles Wilson
Peale, and presented to the general.
Some years later, at the time of the
first presidency, the portrait of Martha
Washington was painted, and the two
pictures were inclosed in the present
case, with the hair of General Wash
ington and his wife, and presented by
General Washington to his sister, Mrs
Betty Lewis. Upon the death of Mrs.
Lewis, the miniatures descended to her
daughter, Mrs. Garter, and from her
were handed down to her grandson,
Mr.. John II. Patteson, son of Eleanor
Carter, the granddaughter of Mrs. Bet
tie Lewis. There are several points of
interest in this portrait of Washington.
The expression of the face gives a diff
ferent impression of the m m from that
conveyed by Stuart's famous picture.
The mouth is softer and more kindly
than in the Stuart portrait, and the
eyes and the brow also vary in notice
able particulars. It must be remem-
bered, however, that Washington at
this time was less mature than when
the Stuart portraiS was painted. He
had not yet begun to wear the set of
false teeth, made from solid block of
ivory, which afterward distorted his
face. Under the generals uniform
coat is seen, in this miniature, a wide
blue scarf, which, it is asserted, was
only worn at an early period of the
war. A general order, which included
Washington himself, indicated, by the
color of the scarfs to be worn, the
grade of the various generals, at that
time personally unknown to the army.
The color of Washington's hair be-
meath his powdered peruke was brown.
slightly streaked gray at this time,
The braid of Lady Washington's hair
is of the beautiful auburn hue, which
remained almost unchanged to the end
of her life.-N Y Tribune

ulubtful If individual man is capable of

region exercises a persistent deleterious
influence on most if not all northern
constitutions. The races of northern
Europe find Louisiana an extreme

Gambling in High Life

Some little excitement is going on in
London about a vice which threatens
to become a fashion in the highest cir
cles of society, and which has already
cost some serious scandals. Ladies of
high rank aud great wealth, for lack of
something better to DO, have set the ex-
ample Of gambling at cards for large
stakes, and IN one or two apparently
decorous drawing sums of money
have changed owners of appalling
amount. Soanoal whispers that no
bleman of high rank has been obliged
to sell estates which have been in the
family for centuries, in order TO clear
himself of the difficulties in which his
wife had involved him by her passion
for gambling. The duchess of Man
chester is said to have lot GI4O, 600
sterling, but to this 1 can not pledge
myself. The matter is really grave one
qndsit s seriously to be hoped that
some way may b found of checking the
practice before it has become widely
fashionable. Unluckily gambling ap-
pears to exert a fatal influence over
those who have once indulged in il,
and it is the more important, therefore,
that the leaders of fashionable society
should resOlutely crush the practice
which they can do if they choOse-by
closing their doors against either man
or woman who Is known to be a gam
bier. The utter usel6 ssness and lazi-
ness which ruins the lives of both men
and women in our upper classes is the
true source of such a vice as gambling,
and only earnest work and honest labor
will cure the diseases which are slowly
eating away sll that is best and nobleSt
from the natures of our luxurious and
idle aristOcratic class.

The oldest son Of W. H. Cornell, three
miles east of Town, received a painful and
dangerous injury last Sunday evening in
the following manner Three men and a
boy were travelling along the road past Mr.,
Cornell's house. with COW tied to the
rear Of the wagon. They had experienced
sore trouble from dogs, in passing houses
and, having shot gun with them, had
talked over the matter Of shooting the next
dog that troubled them. Mr.. Cornell's
boy had been out looking for their cattle
and had just returned home and was stand
ing in the yard with his dog. When the
wagon came along the dog barked. One OF
the men told the boy, who had the gun, to
give him round anyhow. 1t being very
dark, between 9 ond 10 o'clock, the boy
shot in the direction indicated by the bark,
hitting the Cornell boy. Over twenty shot
lodged in him, in the face, chest, bowels,
arm and leg. All are severe wounds bu,
the greatest danger is from the one in the
bowels. The boy is in precarious con
dition.
The boy who fred the shot is a son Of
Mr.. Leroy Newton and one of the men is
Mr.. Peters, engineer Oh the Gopher" The
names of the others we do not remember.
The parties in the wagon had no thought
thvt any one was near. They carried the
boy in and came to Town for DR. Finn.
Both boys are about fourteen years Of age.
1t was very unfortunate affair.
