est price Was Moonlight on the
Sohsld,." by Krutzsr. for which Mr..
Osbiston paid saio. Some OF the pic

might DO particularly mentioned. II
represents a covey OF partridgcs. with
the male on watch, and 10 painted with
remarkable fidelity TO nature. However.
Il has not the merit Of brilliant colorine
10 recommend u, and probably on thai
account is not considered very desirable;
but a. an exact counterfeit Of nature II
stood unparalleled in tho whole collec-
ton. Mr.. Osbiston secured the picture
for the remarkably small sum Of $50.
The one which brought the second high.
est price was Tho Storm" Falls Of the
French Brood Run. North Carolina, by

Par DArs.-The season Of pay days
Is now upon us, and men who have
besn fortunate enough TO have work

fow days. Since tho great influx Of
strangers seeking employment this
Spring, ono thing In regard to the way
working mon spend their money Is very
noticeable. aud that Is, that whereas
formerly they seemed TO have no more
carc Of their earnings than II they had
millions to draw upon. they are now
very careful Of tho way they scatter 1t
around. and there il in consequence q
vail both loud and long from those who
subsist by preying upon society. Many
men are being drafted from at least one
Of our important mines, and those who
remain are forced TO recognize tho ne
cessity OF being u little more economical.

ionable and appreciative audiences.
