Constantine Brumidi, the artist, died at his
residence, No. 92l, q street, at an early hour
Yesterday morning. Mr.. Brumidi never com.
plotely recovered from the shock OCcasonCd
by his narrow escape from fall from n scaf-
fold on which he was ut work in the TotundR
Of the Capitol last autumn, and has suffered
much from asthma since that time. lie was
born in Rome in 1895. His father was a native
of Greece and his mother of Rome. Having
developed taste FOR art at an earl age he was
educated In the Academy of Fine Arts ut
Rome His wonderful talent for fresco work
was conspicuous even ut that time. After
gaining wide reputation as an artist in his
native land, and having become involved Ia
the political troubles of 1853, on ncc0unt of
which he wns Gxilcd, Brumidi, in 1852, came
to this country, mUking his homo at first in
the city of New York, whore ho devoted some
time to portrait painting. His first great work
in this country was the painting of he "Cru-
ciiXion" in ST. Shepherds church. IN New York
Altcrward he painted St. Paul aud St.
Peter for the Cathedral at Philadelphia lie
then visited the City of Mexico aud oXecutGa
the painting of tho Holy Trinity" which
attracts much notice In the cathedral of that
city. Ca his return from Mexico, in 1851 he
visited this city, aud WINS struck with the
grand pOsSib lties which the walls of the
Capitol afforded Tor his art. General Meigs
who was then IN charge Of the public build
ings, permitted the artist TO decorate the room
of the House Committee on Agriculture. Bru.
midi sell ctGd MS the central figure of his
work "CmCinnatus Driving the Plow,' and
when the frcsco-hs first work in the Cppitol
was completed 1t attracted great attention,
and from that time Brumid became II regular

artists services, he caused his salary to be IN.
creased 10 $40 day, which amount he re-
ceived until his death. Ho devoted his life
to the work before him. Tho walls of tho
Capitol have been illuminated by his
magic touch. In every part of the building
are traces of his presence. His greatest COM
pleted work is tho sllOgorical painting under
the lantern in the rotunda. The belt of allie.
gorical paintings which were commenced in
May, 1875, Brumid leaves half finished. lie
hoped that lie would live long enough 10 COM
pete the work, but in order that the
work might bo finished by some other
artist lie employed his time while confined to
tho house in preparing tho cartoons, which
can he used as u guido to the work. So It
Is not improbable that the work may yet be
completed
The funeral of the dead artist will take

AnIrntn Soratchor.n

A correspondent from Alexandria, Va, who
signs himself "W. p. Graves" seems TO have
reached a whito heat on the Presidential ques-
ton. Indeed he seems TO be much hotter
than "rcd hot" He rebukes THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICANS for sustaining General Grant,
and threatens to scratch him should he bo
nominated at Chicago, under the G. w. Curtis
plan. Then comes the most terrible procla-
nation of judgment, and one which has made
many an editors heart quake with foar--
"Y0u may stop my paper whom tho time runs
out" Io thon gives us reason for his Venge-
full act--"Will not support man who sup
ports candidate unfit to be made" THIS is
outspoken, manly and independent, and evil
dences grit that challenges admiration, and
seems TO be almost too bold for chronic
"scratcher." lie Is, no doubt, new convert
to that exercise of the dearest right OF inde-
pendent citizenship. There is one feature of
this letter which shows that THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN and its author are not ~ tarapart
as he magines. lie claims to he "a Virginia
RopubliCau-an ox-soldior under Grant" with
a up. s., Blaine is my man." Now the only
difference between Mr., Graves and The Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN is, that whom General
Grant Is nominated, unless he changes his
mind, he will 20 into the scratching" busi-
ness, while THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN will
sustain the Republican cause with its best eff
forts. Then, again. should Mr.. Blaine b3 nomi-
mated NJ Chicago which is within the range
of possiblitos, Mr.. Graves will have to
Scratch hard to keep up with THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN in giving him nm earnest hearty
and efficient support. In the meantime IL IL
to DO hoped that Mr., Graves will cool oh-not
that il is Of any consequence to THE Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN but it may tend greatly
to his own comfort and that OF his neisnbor'
