anything desired on short notice to order. His
integrity and fairness of dealing have won him
numberless friends and customers, hence
the large number of skilled labOrers en-
plOyed by him. The quality of the ma
terfal used by Mr.. MarIuurt is of the
choicest and strictly tirst-clasS and selected
with special care for usage in Il warm climate.
A complete stock of all kinds of leather, find

kept on hand, and mechanics from the country
cannot do better anywhere than purchas-
ing from Mr.. Marquart. He is personally in at
tendance at all times at his place of business
which is entirely under his own Superintend-

A Valuable Painting.

A genuine Murillo was until recently the
property of resident OF San Antonio. 1t was
obtained in Mexico during the war with tha,
country by lieutenant of volunteers, himself
an artist and dispo ed of in NJ bile in 1850
In Mobile it was purchased not long ago by a
San Antonio gentleman who considered il,
little better than mere daub and parted with
it to st. Louis collector for few dollars.
Subsequently he was surprised to learn that
he had had in his possession painting worth
something over $4,000. AS he does not
want his poor taste known general he has re-
quested that his name be not published. The
painting was done in 1858 and represents St.
Thomas Aquras. The learned doctor is set
forth clad in the habit of the Dominican order
with the stalwart figure of Emo crouching be-
meath his foot The Legendary serpents coil
ing through Eno's hair and his right hand
while his let clutches the Book of Heresy.
''St. Thomas is gazing intently upward at
descending dove, (the Holy Ghost) his left
hand holding an open book of parchment in
which he is to inscribe prophecies by holy in
spirations. Near by are the mitre and crown
emblems of his sacred Office and royal blood
On his breast, supported by a necklace, is a
sun which. in the figure OF St. Thomas, ex
presses the light of wisdom. The draperies
are superb. The expression of the face is
complete The cOuntenance is serene and
thankful, full Of expression, yet full OF charac-
ter, the general pose of the figure enbodying
the idea of ,ecurlty and power under the
guidance Of divine love The picture finds
its almost &C mplete counterpart IT. the delinea-
ton Of the efhgjeS of St. Thomas by Mrs.
Jameson in her we'll known Legend of the
