rdw,n Landseer,s Dexterity.

From " Sir Edwin Landseer," by r. &. Stephens.l
But by far the most amazing instance OF
the technical powers OF our subject IS that
which is in itself, without regard to Land
seer, subject OF extraordinary interest
to psychologists and inqulrers into the
nature OF the action OF the brain and
the distribution OF horsepower. Our
informant is Mr.. Solomon Hart, Royal
Academician, remarkable for his accom-.
plishment and acute observation. A large
party was assembled one evening at the
house OF gentleman in the upper ranks OF
London "society," crowds OF ladies' and
gentlemen OF distinction were present, In
Guiding Landseer, who was, as usual,
lion a large group gathered about the sofa
where he was lounging; the subject turned
on dexterity and facility in feats OF skill
with the band. No doubt the talk was in
geniousIy led in this direction by some one
who knew Sir Edwin could do wonders OF
dexterous draughtsmanshlp and were not
unwilling to see him draw, but they did not
expect what followed.
A lady, lolling back on settee, and
rather tired Of the subject, as ladies are
apt to become when conversation does not
appeal to their feelings or their interests,
exclamed, after many instances OF manual
deXterity had been cited: ell, there's
one thing nobody has ever done-and that
is, draw two things at once" She had
signalized herself by quasbing subject OF
conversation, and was about to return to
her most becoming attitude, when Landseer
said: "Ob, can do that; lend me two pen
ellis, and | will show YOU" The pencils
were got, piece of paper was laid on the
table, and Sir Edwin, pencil in each hand,
drew simultaneously and without hesitation
with the one hand the profile OF stag's
head and all its antlers complete and with
the other hand the perfect profile OF
horses head. Both drawings were full OF
energy and spirit, and although, as the &C.
casion compelled, not finished, they were,
together and individually, quite as good as
the master was accustomed TO produce with
his right hand alone. The drawing by the
left hand was not inferior to that by the
right.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1880-09-16

To the Editors OF the Dispatch;
I see much discussion as to the origin OF
these terms as applied TO the settlers in the
Tidewster and mountain regions OF Vir-
ginia, but as yet have read nothing satisfac-
tory. Although not much Of an aHtiquary,
and but little versed in philosophy, think
/ can SET the question at rest 10 the satisfac-
ton OF all "Anxious Iuquirers."
In the old dialect the word took was pro-
nounced tuck, and when our ancestors
came to Jamestown they each tuck hoe
and proceeded at once TO raise corn and to-
bacco. In after years others came over; a
greater number OF these finding the low
lands already occupied, settled in the
mountains OF Augusta" as The upland
portion OF the State was then called. These
not finding the soil so easily cultivated,
wentto distilling and redistilliug In other
words cobobating, from the French Conc
Der, hence the term Cohoe.
Thus do easily account for the two dis
tinctiye names, as well as the production
OF tobacco, &C., in the low country and the
splendid wbiskeys amongst the mountains.
One OF THE TUCKAHOEs.
