The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1880-11-18
NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 1850.

From our own Correspondent
Thank Heaven! The elections over,
and we may now turn our attention to
things more agreeable than politics.
Art, for instance. Tho after-effects of
the election are making one artists pot
boil at any rate. He is a painter of
black eyes and is marvellous concealer
of such contusions. He Is very busy
renovating the bruised brows of bro
kers, bankers, and bigwigs generally
who have become so excited in "the
cause" that they forgot to see where
they were going to, and so ran up
against lamp-posts, fists, and other OBJ
stacles. Higher art is represented By
perhaps the most carefully finish
ed painting ever produced on the
planet. 1t is the masterpiece of Holman
Hunt, the great English artist, and is
being exhibited by the dealers who
purchased it for 100000 sterling. The
gifted limner took six years to COM
plete it, spending four years in Pales-
tine to acquire the exact aroma of the
scene portrayed and to secure, at great
expense of money, time and diligent
research, antique models for the In
animate objects represented. The re-
suit Is marvellous and "Tbe Shadow
of the Cross' Is Enthusiastically one of
the greatest pictures OF the world.
Politicians and others have turne'l
to marriage. too, rs diversion and two
very sty lish weddings came of prompt
ly on Nov. 3rd. The groom in one was
the Grand Marshal of the dry goods
phalaux which created such sensation
at the great meeting in Wall street,
which Bob Ingersoll addressed last
week, and he is well known In many
ways rs n thoroughly good and CON-
petent fellow, in AID out of business.
/ am talking of Col. c. B. Mitchell,
State Inspector of Rifle Practice, sec
retary of the first American team, son
of Judge Mitchell, and lead of one of
he largest dry goods commission
houses in the country which has grown
very rapidly to the highe-t position
frop comparatively modest beginnings
few years back. His bride is of a
distinguished family also; and in the
Other case two old pre-revolutionary
families are united in the persons of the
John Marshall of the day and Miss
Griswold. The toilets are ravishing,
the presents too cunning for anything
the floral and other decorations beyond
description, and the assembled COM
panies of well-wishers of the very
choicest cream of society.
Have you seen the last issue of Puck

makes Hancock look as joyous as the
dear cid boy undoubtedly feels. No
mud was thrown to offend him all
through tie bitter fight, and he has
respect and es'eem of even his most
diligent political opponents, while the
fact remains that he has for life most
snug and dignifled position ut the very
head of his profession and the best
society, and the further consolation OF
knowing that under no other leadership
not even of the angel Gabriel, could his
party have had the ghost of chauce OF
succeeding in the contest just over. He
did <is duty this time, as he always did
in everything, and every one knew it.
He's satisfied, so is his wife, and SO are
most of US, fancy.
Upon my word it's hard work finding
topics outside of election matters,
which your Radix strongly objects to
touching in these letters, so I'll con-
clude. The country's safe once more,
and the sun of prosperity beams
brightly. Let us hope every good citi-
zen will make plenty of hay before
another panic comes to knock things
endways. RADIx.
