A magnificent picture, beautiful in design
AMI artistic in execution. 1t represents Con
federate soldier after the war returning to his
home, which he finds ruined by shot and shell,
looking lonely and deSolate. III front OF the
ruined cottage, telling sad tale OF the mlseres
OF war, are two graves with rude crosses, on
one of which some friendly hand has hung
garland. The graves are oVerhung by a weep
ing willow, in the shadow of which stands the
returned soldier with bowed head. as if think
ing of the past To the right the calm river
and rising moon indicate peace and rest. The
stars seen through the trees represent the South
crn Cross, draped over the graves, an emblem
of the Confederate flag as well as a harbinger
of brighter days to come. The flood of glorious
moonlight streaming through the trees and re-
tiecting on the peaceful river adds to the SEN
tnnent and beauty of the scene and it's sur
roundings. No description of this gem OF art

LIVERPOOL, July pa leading grain
circular says; " There was heavy rain in
most part of the country during the past
two days, and the usual excitement at this
season OF the year accompanied it. The
decline was consequently checked, and
there was more animation generally. The
wheat trade is steadier, this and other lead
ing markets advancing more or less The
cargoes of coast and on passage are held
for more money. The demand for the Con-
tinent continues, the requirements in that
direction, however, for some tine past have
been supplied chiefly direct from America
and eastern Europe. The weather to-day
is favorable, but We are having tolerabIy
good attendance of millers at this market,
with fair and steady demand for white and
red wheat at la2d per GENITAL over the prices
of Tuesday. Flour is Sd Per sack dearer.
Corn is steady, with fair inquiry"

portan. that We should select candidate
who combines fitness for the position with
personal strength, and knowing no one who

tident that he can, if nominated, be elected.
