Distress I'm Labrador.


QUEBEC. October 26.-The steam
ship Canadian, which has just returned
from her seasons cruise in the Gulf,
reports considerable distress on the
Labrador coast owing TO the failure Of
the fisheries. At Esquimaux Point out
Of population Of $50 families, only
twenty have supplies for the winter.
Thirty more hope to ret enough
from the merchants, who usually
make advances 70 them, TO pull
them through. The remaining 100
families hare nothing whatever with
which to face the winter, and it will be
necessary either 10 bring them from Of
the coast or 10 send supplies TO them.
The commander is OF the opinion that
these people should be brought off the
coast, as II is useless TO send them sup
plies season after season. The fact Is,
there are TOO many people on the coast
OF Labrador. The failure Of the fish
cries was due TO the action Of the ice in
the spring. The fall fishing has been
poor over the Gulf. owing to the
rough weather. Prices for all kinds
Of fish are low. The crops on

The opening Of the case spoken Of

Henry Brown, the portrait-painter, Of
Sixteenth and Chestnut streets. he,
however, found no inscription between

ture revealed the fact that the red OF

was .laid on with G pigment which has
not been used by artists during the
present century on account Of its La
bility to fade.
Mr.. Root, who is a connoisscur OF
portraits, having first made dagaerreo-
iyping fashionable in this city and coun-
try nearly forty years ago at Fifth and
Chestnut streets, thinks that the p0r-
trait Is Of Mary Washington, and was
done by Gilbert Stuart. How the pic
tuTe came there among the leaves on the
fateful morning OF Lees surrender
would be interesting TO know. Was it
dropped by some collateral descendant
or friend Of some collateral descendant
Of the Washington family who had 8
right 10 its possession? Was L looted
by some straggler from some Virginia

There was dead man whose identity,
If established, might have told some
tale Of the portraits ownership. He
lay in his butternut uniform, about
twenty-five feet from where Bugler
