HarneS'S Hotel, HAMPTON


TLoudon letter, Cincinnati Commercial
have taken good, long look in the quiet
of Mr.. Agnew's rooms ut the GansbOrough,
for which he paid E10,G0j. There was no
chance to see it really at the Wynn Ellis
sale, the room being crammed to sutfocation
with noisy dealers. The authenticity of the
picture has been set ut rest. The only thing
against it was its perfection, there being not
crack or flaw In the paint, and the CO.
lors being as fresh and pure rs if it had
been painted yesterday; aud yet careful
observation shows that these colors have q
richness and ripcness which can only be Sc
cured by the artistic touches OF Time. How
ever, the pedigree of the picture has been
made out by experts, and it is certain that
the PORTRAIT OF Lady OF Quality"
which Walpole remarked in the Academy
of his day, is the picture which now COM
mands the attention OF England. Apart
from the artistic beauty Of the picture there
is something in traditions concerning the
beautiful Georgiana, its subject, to pique
pop,,lar interest. She was that lady who
was celebrated for the lively enthusiasm
with which she cspouscd the Wing cause,
and the eccentricity with which she was will
ing TO CAPTURE votes for her favorite states
man by captivating those who had the votes
to give. She was chief of those ladies who
did not await slow-moving years to confer
Oh them political power, and to whom Tom
Moore referred as the lovely danes
"Who argue the case with sOuI-tllrilllng smile,
And convince lis ut once with KISS"
Lucky was that candidate who had this
Duchess canvassing for him. She was evil

shipped. Her exquisitely oval face, her.
fresh, rosy color, her sparkling eye and
perfect mouth-innocent, but with q soap
con OF rogushness-a fair, thoughtful
brow, matched against chin and throat OF
almost yoluptuous tOurn,Te-hoW these
must have inspired that old adorer OF Eng
lish goddesses, Gainsborough. She wears
jaunty hat of brown velvet with graceful
feather, and sort of rich, rose-tinted Dolly
Warden over blue petticOat, and rose at
her breast, and all the colors and draping
ARE harmonious choir around her
beauty. The picture represents the Gull
animation of the first great school Of Eng
lish art. Its theme was the beauty OF the
refined English lady as centuries of aristO-
cratic breeding had made her. AS Aphro-
dite was born OF the sea-foam, this English
beauty Of whom Herrick and Sir John
Luckling sang, and whom Reynolds and
Gainsborough painted, emerged from old
English parks and rose-gardens. 1t was
from such women that the poets learned
that Nature and Flowers and other beauti-
full things were of the feminine gender, as
when Milton wrote: zsst &c
Now morn, her rosy steps In the Eastern cline
advancing, sowed the'earth with Orient pearl"
Milton's "Morn" was some duchess like
this. Isuppose an artist must see his lady
In cosmical relations before he could paint
her like this.

African Royalty.

HOW THEY BURIED THE KING OF OUNYOR0.
The Journal de Paris contains a letter from
an eyewitness giving the following parti-
clllars of the atrocities committed on the oc-
casion of the funeral of Kamraski, King OF
Ounyoro, in Central Africa:
An immense grave pit, capable OF holding
several hundred people, had been dug, at
the bottom Of which the wives OF the de-
funct King had been placed in the form OF
a ring, to be in readiness to receive upon
their knees the corpse OF their late tyrannl-
cal and harbarollS master. Several rcSl-
mcnts OF the royal guard had been sent on
the preceding night to silently surround
some of the ncigboring villages. The first
human being, be it man, woman, or chiiu,
that made its exit from the surrounding nuts
was forcibly seized and carried OIL, and the
captives entrappedin this manner conducted
towards the pit prepared for the funeral.
Here there began the most horrible scene.
The limbs Of these poor creatures, arms and
legs, were broken by the soldiers. The la
mentatiOns and cries OF despair OF the VIC
tins intermingled with the shouting OF the
fanatical crowd, and one by:One they were
thrown into the gaping gulf below. linen
began the beating OF drums, the flourish OF
the trumpets, the piercing sound OF the
whistle and pipe, which, together with the
violent vociferations Of the crowd, drowned
the cries of the victims. The soil dug out
of the pit the previous day was then thrown
back into the monster grave. The fanatlca
spectators OF the dismal drama, as soon us i
was filled up, commenced to dance on thu
summit OF the grave, stamping the sol
down with all their might, so as to form;
hard, compact layer above those buriee
alive, All the lamentations having ceased,
nothing was left to indicate the ceremony o
the abominabIe sepulture; the noise OF thu
instruments had ceased also, and the assem-
bled crowd retired, satisfied with them
selves, and admired the greatness OF tn
king whose names demanded such sacrifices

pleasant, and Is one of the brightest OF

The hotel is most spacious and airy, with
very fine dining-hall, ballroom, and parlor;
and rare enjoyment afforded the visitor Is
the convention Of guests In spacious pa
ylion in the gap between two mountains.
There the guests convene after breakfast for
conversation, reading, cards, and sometimes
for sewing and knitting, for in other days
we have seen both introduced there; but we
know not what machinery may have done to
exclude them in later days. This pavilion
is open on all sides, and when we'll filled it
presents a very rare as well as delightful
phase of sociabilItv. In hot weather the
salubrity and purity OF the temperature and
atmosphere there could not be eXcelled.
The last time we saw Capon, just before
the war, II had delightful company enjoy
ing its comforts. General LEE and family
were there, Mr.. JOIN A.. WASHINGTON and
family also, together with some Of the very
best and most respected people OF Maryland
and Virginia. Virtue and grace seemed to
hold dominion there, and serenity and
brightness impaired both peace and JOY to
the community during its temporary sojourn
at most charming retreat.
This is partial account OF the charms OF
Capon, whose landlord is one Of the most
accomplished as well as one of the most po-
lite and coiisiderate OF gentlemen. See adj
yertisement

This watering-placc has gained considera-
bic fame for its unprcfending and really
meritorious character. Located eleven miles
west of Staunton, upon the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad, it is easy OF access and is stu
ated in valley where the atmosphere and
temperature are agreeable and invigoratinS.
The advertisement Of the proprietors well
describes the springs and their advantages,
both in drinking and bathing. Their baths,
Especially, commend their establishment.

These Springs are two miles from Mill

HOPKINS, most obliging and intelligent
gentleman, native Of the Tuckahoe land,
and nephew to the late HENRY l.. HOPKINS,

kINs Each Of these gentlemen was at diff
fercnt periods Speaker OF the House OF Del
cgates of Eirginia-GEORGE W. HOPKINS
during the war. We mention the fact be-
cause there is often "a great deal in the
family" Mr.. HOPKINS has sulphur anu
nsao a eholrhcata spring. Both are good.
He has quiet and pleasant place where the
invalid may rest, and which Is in neigh
borlood of grand scenery, and where the
sportsman may find excellent sport, whe-
ther with gun or rod.
1t will be observed that the terms are most
moderate, and we are sure the accommoda-
ton will be good.
