his young life is when, Mt the age OF one

new clothes, and seated in the middle of
u large sieve, in which are placed many
articles, among which are money scales,
brass mirror, writing utensils, books,
silver and gold ornaments, and fruits,
while the anxious parents stand by to
see which object will first attract his
sober black eyes. II he takes up Il book

if fruits suit him best, he will incline to

At two years OF age he will dress like
his grandfather of eighty, and look like
Chat old gentleman seen through the
small end of an opera glass. When he

members of the Commission to with.

probably be successful, and Louisiana
viii be cohnted for Hayes.
Feb. 1.-THE President this evening,
in the course of conversation, said he
thought it was but fair that, if State
had voted for either Hayes or Tilden,
the full vote of such State should be
counted according to its political CON.
pleXiUn. Although he hoped that Hayes
and Wheeler would be declared elected,
he felt somewhat uncertain as to the re
suit, because he could not foresee what
would he done in the case OF Louisiana
1t would he recolected that four years
ago, after his canvass for re election, the
two Houses resolved not to count the
electoral vote Of that State. Although
the reasons in the two cases might not
be similar, there seemed to be some un-
uncertainty on the subject. Should the
vote possibly be excluded, Hayes and
Wheeler would in that case be defeated
and Tlldcn and Hendricks not elected
the latter rot having received ma.
jority Of the votes ot all the electors ap-
pointed, and therefore the election of
President would be thrown into the
House OF Representatives, leaving the
Senate to elect the Vice President. But
he this as it might, he was satisfied there
would be no disturbance Of the people,
as both parties had committed the de.
termination Of the disputed points to a
tribunal constituted for that purpose.

The attention of promenaders ON Canal
street has been attracted to the well-known
equestrian painting of Generals Robert E.
Lee and Stonewall Jackson, on exhibition in
Werleins show window. The idea which the
artist (Mr. Julio) has endeavored to convey
TO the observer, is that the Generals are in
eouncil regarding some future military move
Bnent, upon which Gen. Lee is giving his
opinion, while his Lieatennat listens with an
Air of respect, yet with deep thought, as the ex-
preston of the face indicates. Outside of the
the last meeting of our two great Generals,
liking the route Just before the battle OF
the work should be regarded
from an artistic point of view. The general
tone of the coloripg is rich and mellow, and no
contradiction is felt with regard to the rich
foreground tints and those of the hazy grey
of the distant mountains and velleys; in other
words, the eye passes quietly from the strongly
painted objects of the foreground to the vapory
mountain tops, no crudties to offend it and
obstruct it's movement. The action of the
horses is well conceived. In the grey ("Trav-
eller") we have the sterling steed for hard and
warriors work in the rich sorrel by his side,
whick brings out the noble grey. in fine relief,
We have our ideal of the glorioas war horse
proud, as it were, Of his great rider.
This painting, along with one hundred
Steel engraving copies, will be disposed of by
lottery in February next, for the benefit of the
Tomb and Relief Fand of the Louisiana
Division Army of Northern Virginia.
