ONE OF KAUFMAKR's PICTURES.
An ket OF Vandalism.

An act scarcely ever parall9led for mere wan.
toners was perpetrsted by some unknown person
On painting by Theo Kaufman, which has been
On exhibition at the Capitol since last spring. The
painting in question is the realistic representation
of an anecdote, taken from what might be styled
the verbal autobiography Of Abraham Lincoln.
The scene lie on the Ohio river; the central figure
Is the sinewy, peculiarly angular form of young
a. Lincoln, standing in . small boat in an atti-
tude Of half reVery, gazing on Q silver dollar
pensation he had Just received for rowing some
belRted passengers to o steamer, which is seen
steamipg away in the distance. As an object AZ.
most noisPenssDe 70 s9s S,bSt american
significance, there is painted on the opposite
shore an idllnR negro, laEily loungtEg on a
wharf Of primitive construction. Inc effect OF the
tout ensemble OF this picture is truly wonderful,
and Is considered by some quite as valuable as
the "Farragut," by the same artist, particularly
20 because II enbodies typical American ideS,
and has Tor Its subject man who has made, SO to
speak, the most glorious part OF American his
tory. II is this picture that was WRntonly mutt
lated BY cutting out Of 1t the other silver halEdol-
lar, which, strange enough, Kaufman represent
ed as lying on the bench of the boat thus render
ing the painting unsalable, and entailing upon
the artist loss of over one thousand dollars. It
a almost impossible to suppose that mere destruc-
vet we would rather believe that than give room
10 the suspicion that sectional hatred was the
motive. Some measure should certainly be taken
70 prevent the recurrence of such outrages.
WoRrH has long been celebrated as the great
Paris dressmaker, but We have an American
Sressmaker 1T Paris who surpasses him in ex-
ouisite toilets. choicest laces and the most mag
niteent shawls, asis well known by some Of our
WILMINGTON ladies. Mr.. Kingsbury is q gentle
man devoted to bis business sna almost fastidl-
prieee Ladies who have never seen him may
send 10 him with the utmost confidence.

has been marked Improvement In the working Of
the Analostan crew since the advent of John Big.

ponents in the coming races o good pull. The
Potomac boys, under George Englehart, have
also come down to good working trim.
Elliott, Of Green Point N. Y, is building q

The new bost-house of the Analoutan club is
rapidly approaching completion, and, on the day
Of the races, both the old and the new houses will

Tia Benefit Of slavery Abolition.

George W. Adsir, Of Atlanta, says: Before the
war kept four negroes on my lot-Wasn., .

/ cook, 81, 400; Harriet, house girl, 1900 and
Nancy, q nurse 500. The legal interest," (seven
per cent? on the value Of these slaves vas $3.50
per annum, and had to feed, clothe, pay doctors
bills, &c. Now have the same service performed
at $500 per snnum. I feed these hired servants,
but furnish no clothing nor pay no doctors bills
and get the same service per month for less money
than when owned slaves, and If they die l lose
nothing. Now, when acquire my capital can
put Il IN other property, instead OF locking t up
In slaves. This, think, illustrates the whole
question. Tho landowner can avail himself Of
negro labor to-day at less cost than when ne had
to pay for the slave and take care Of him. This
labor cannot be controlled 80 absolutely IS slave
labor and more or less Irregularities grow out Of
Il; still it 10 available and susceptible Of being
used to great profit By the landowner. Planters
who owned slaves, who now remain upon their
land and give personal attention to the crops,
make more clear money from the soil than under
the old system. The South Is becoming every
wear more familiar with free labor, aud under
stands better how to manage It. She Is becoming
more selfreliant and selfsustaining."

Mr. William Birney, the assistant district at
torney, has called the attention Of the Court In
General Term to the subject Of MAGISTRATES
bondsand 1t Is understood that he claims that the
bonds require the approval Of that court. The
Revised Statutes are silent on the subject but In
an act Of the fret Legislative Assembly approved
Augost iolSI1, proylsion ls made for nagistrates'
COURT Of the District Of Columbia. It Is claimed
by many Of the justices that the term "Supreme
CJurt" does not imply the General Term, and that
the approval Of one Of the judges Is SUFFICIENT.
