and bis articulation less distinct But his eye is
yet wonderfully bright and keen. and his mobile

ness Of his questions ~ 10 Affairs In the East
proved how strong Is the interest he stl takes In
questions Of the day. and his jokes about the
Conference, and especially about the Sultan,
showed that beneath the jooulsr surface there
lurked snbstratum OF shrewd observation.
Mr.. Tompkins. OF the General Assembly of
Missouri believes in promoting art and forcing
home q political moral. He has introduced a
resolution reciting that " Tho teachings and ex-
amples oil imperialism, and their influence upen
the minds OF the youth OF our country, car, best
be counteracted by holding up TO their view in
rraphe and enduring forms OF art the Noble and
eelf abns eating examples OF the lustrious states
men and heroes whose names adorn the East and
early history of our republic" and accordingly
giving Gen. George @. Bingham an order "for
historical painting which shall represent Andrew
jackson, former President OF the uaited States
aud the immortal hero of New Orleans, while at
the head of his victorious army, bowling in
deterensial submission to the Judgment Of a
civil court of Louisiana in imposing heavy fine
upon him." A companion piece will of course be
required. Gov. Tildep, with small dictionary,
studying the cipher dispatches, would be a
strong figure.
