History of a Picture.

: Two of the most celebrated artists the
world has ever known .dwet in the same
city. One delighted in delineatins beauty
in all its graces OF tint;sform,- and motion.
His portraits were instinct with the charm
of physical yigor. The graceful, half-vo-
luptuOus outline of form and feature har-
monized with delicately blended tints. On
his canvas, the homeliest faces had an al
most irresistible charm. The other found
pleasure only in depicting weird and gloomy
subjects. Above all, did he excel in paint
ing the portraits Of the dying The aagoniz-
ing death-throe, the ghastly. face and form,
were all depicted with marvellous fidelity.
There existed between these artists the most
intense dislike. At length this dislike cul-
minated. The beauty-loving artist had
been engaged in painting the portrait of
beautiful woman Connoisseurs pronoun-
ced it the most wonderful piece of art that
had ever been produced. His brother artist
was jealous of his fame and sought revenge.
By bribing the keeper of the studio he gain
ed access to the picture each night At first
he was content to only deaden the brilliancy
of the complexion and eyes, etiacc the bloom
from cheek and lip and paint shadow on
either cheek. Later, his strokes grew bold
cr and freer, and one morning the artist
awoke to find the entire outline OF the por-
trait changed He could scarcely recognize
in the emaciated form and liaggard counte-
nance the glowing conception he had em-
bodied. The pallid face and expressionless
eyes he had attributed to lack of genuine
ness in his materials; but when the out
lines were changed he suspected the cause
and Indignantly dismissed the keeper.
What the revengeful artist narred by few
rapid strokes of his skillful brush was only
restored by years Of patient industry.
Reader, need we. name the artists-Health,
who paints the flowers and grassy carpet"
no less than the human form divine-Dis-
ease, the dreaded artist who revels among
the ruins both of nature and humanity
and carelessness, the keeper to whom Health
often intrusts his portraits. And is 1t not
the beauty of woman, the most admired of
all the works which adorn the studio of
Health, that Disease oftenest seeks to mar?
The slightest stroke Of his brush upon the
delicate organization leayesiani imprint. that
requires much skill and patience to eftace.
Restoration !mustsbe prompt. Carelessness
must be dismissed. Let. suffering Ewomen

been used by thousands of these, sufferers,
and they are unanimous instheir praise OF
its excellence. If you would be transform

New HAMPsHIRE.-Governo b. +. Prescott
was inaugurateda at Concord, n. H., on Thurs
day. His message says the net debt of the state
is three million five hundred seventy-four
thousand three hundred and ninety dollars
and eighty-seven cents which is reduction
for the year of fifty-three thousand one hun
bred and forty-seven dollars and sixty-two
cents. He is in favor of a state tax of four
million dollars The yearly increase Of saw
ings bank deposits is two hundred and sew
enty Thousand dollars The Governor recon-
mends the increase of supreme court judges
from six to eight; commission to revise
the statutes of the state; an appropriation
for the proposed battle of Bennington monu-
ment; an annual teachers convention in
each county to compare methods of instruc-
ton, and the establishment of state board
of health. The legislature in both branches
has organized and is at work. The Senate
elected Matt Head has President of that
body, and Augustus A. Woolson was chosen
Speaker of the House. An unusual amount
of business will come before the law-mak-
ers for attention, much of il growing
out of the proposed amendments to the con-
stitution. The Republicans have a good
working majority in both branches, so there
will be no unnecessary delays on partisan
subjects Several railroad questions will
come before the body, and upon these the
lobbyists will spend time and strength.

DEATH FROM MAD DoG.-Great ex-
citement has been caused in Hartford, Conn,
by the death, on Thursday last of Professor
Alvergrat, well-known French teacher, just
one month from the day when he was badly
bitten by strange dog which he found in
his house. The Professor had all the symp.
toms of hydrophobia, both before and after
death, as shown by post mortem examina-
ton, but the physicians are divided in their
opinion as to whether the disease was really
hydrophobia or simply mania and inhama-
ton of the brain brought on by fright and
excessive worrying The wounds made by
the dog were dressed by a physician, and at
first the Professor seemed to give himself
little anxiety on their account, but presently
his friends began a ceaseless writing and
talking to him on the danger OF his condi-
ton, which undoubtedly had a bad effect on
him. Whatever the disease was from which
he died, the case would seem TO show, fairly
enough, the duty of keeping any person
who has reason to fear hydrophobia, as
cheerful as possible, and of entirely refrain
ing from saying or doing anything to excite
his nervousness or apprehension.

Our Navy and the War.

Secretary Thompson is taking prompt
measures to overhaul and put in order what
ever of navy we have left. This leads to
the hope that the administration does not
mean to be caught mapping in this regard
should the Eastern war become general
For the present there seems no reason to be-
lieve, at this distance at least, that the war
will spread, and so long as only Turks and
Russians fight, our interests on the ocean are
in no danger. But if England, France and
Germany should take hand inf gen
eral European war should break Quit
would be well, and might be absolutely nee
essary, for us to have at immediate com
mand naval force sufficient at least to
watch over the interests of American ship
ping in many waters. In such case the
carrying trade of the world would be very
apt to fall to us for a while, and the eager
ness of the belligerents might seek to trench
upon our rights as neutrals unless we were
prepared to defend the flag promptly and
everywhere.
We do not need such immense and costly
iron-clads as the English, French and Other
European nations nave long been wasting
their means on, for we do not expect to be
gin offensive warfare. In the case of gen
eral European war our government woult
probably want to fit out fleet of very fas
vessels, each armed with few heavy rihec
guns, to act as a kind of naval police. Whel
there is general fight the police are usual!
needed to watch pickpockets and ruffians.
