UNQUALIFIED APPRECIATION

II. Il. STEVENS, ESQ:
Dear sr,-During the past five years have had
ample opportunity to judge Of the merit of VEGE-
TINE NV wife has used 1t for complaints attending
lady OF delicate health with more beneficial results
than anything else which she ever tried. have
given it to my children under almost every clrcum7
stance attending large family, and always with
marked benefit. l have taken 1t myself with such
great benefit that cannot find words to express my
UNQUALIFIED appreciation Of Its goodness.
While performing my duties as police oftcer In
this city it has been my lot to fall in with great
deal of sickness. I unhesitatinSiy recommend VEG
ETtSE, and never knew Of case where 1t did not
proyc all that was claimed for 1t. Particularly In
cases of debilitated impoverished state OF the
Hood It's effects are really wonderful; and for all
complaints arising from an impure state of the
blood it appears to work like charm, anda 10 not
believe there are any circumstances under which
yEGETINE can be used with injurious results anolt
will always afford me pleasure to give any further
information us to what know about VEGETINE..l.

Washington City Bible Society.

The board of managers of the Washington City
Bible Society held their regular monthly meeting
last evening at the depository over Ballantyne's
bookstore. The newly-elected officers were pres
ent and assumed their duties. Rev. A.w Pitzer,
president, occupied the chair, and a Shields,
esq. acted as secretary.
Tie city missionary, Rev. s. Kramer reported
that during the past month he had explored the
southwestern portion of the city, between Four
half Seventh street, Pennsylvania avenue
and the Potomac river visiting e2S families, com
prisng LIS individuals. He has distributed S. O01
pages Of tracts and supplied 15testaments where
they were needed. He has visited the steamboats,
and vessels along the wharves and supplied all
wants. He reported also the fact that two or more
men connected with the police force Of the CITY,
whom Bibles had been furnished, had been
brought TO a saving knowledge Of Christ through
the perusal Of the volume.

An Excellent Portrait.

A most accurate and unmistakable likeness Of
Judge Burnam, Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury, has just been portrayed in oil by his steno-
grapher, Mr.. March. The artist has succeeded in
counterfeiting nature most admirably through
out both in expression, pose and color. No
higher compliment can be paid to painter than
this Artists are, perhaps, too apt to fatter to
attempt to supply in beauty what they lack in ac-
curacy, to strive harder to produce a handsome
picture than to make correct representation Of
nature. MIR. March has carefully avoided all
these weaknesses and, by his careful selecting of
colOrs produce the exact shades necessary to per-
feet result at each point, has succeeded in paint
ing portrait which strikes the eye Of the familiar
acquaintance as being the man himself about to
greet him.
This is a rare achievement for an artist who has
gained his Instruction and practice piecemeal, rs
MIR. March has done. He was under the tuition
Of Mr.. W. E. Winner, of Philadelphia, for q time
in ISL, and latterly has enjoyed the Instruction
of Mr.. J. H. Witt Of this city But his art studies
have been pursued without Interruption to his
official duties Of stenogrspher In the Treasury.
The success Of Mr.. March under such circum-
stances simply shows what q prudent, studious
man OF correct habits may achieve while holding
public position in Washington fhe be SO disposed,
and is only Industrious and pains-taking In the
utilization Of his moments. The official duties of
AIR. March have engaged his attention more
hours in day than those of most Department
clerks, and yet he has acquired proficiency of
art which promises soon to be more valuable than
any salary the Government can offer him.

artist who has accomplished this feat; also sing
ing songs Of his own composition. The refined

on the eastern slope of a little spur or highland,
lutting out southwardly from Missionary Ridge,

elevation Of about sixty feet above the plain Of
