A SUGGESTIVE PICTURE.

There is no limit to the Imagination of
the pictorial artist in these latter days. A
Philadelphia newspaper publishes an account
of the GRANT funeral last Saturday, accom-
panied by an immense cut representing the
angel with trumpet in hand calling the
armies of earth to judgment. The design
of the artist is TO show that i'm the final re-
view to be made by the Great Captain of
the Universe, of all the worlds array of
famous heroes GRANT is to stand highest
The artist had a pretty conception of his
subject, but the picture shows that the de-
tails are a triie grOtesque. Judging from
the way his jaws are pulled ont the angel
who has been doing the trumpet act seems
to have had hard task in awakening the
slumbering warriors. 1t has evidently re-
quired good many long and loud blasts
from GABRIEL's resonant horn to get some
of the old CEsARs, SCIPIos and ALExAN-
DERs into line. The appropriateness of the
attitude the artist has given GABRIEL may
have been suggested by the fact that in
some instances it took great deal of blow
ing and hard putting to get some members
of this grand army of departed heroes into
a niche In Fame's temple. The. trumpet
blowing has had different effect, however,
on the bird of liberty, who is mounted on a
constellation of bright stars in the neighbor-
hood of the angels sphere. From the way
his wings hutter and his feathers are
friZZled we should say that he was badly
frightened eagle. From behind the weep
ing Goddess of Liberty, who recllnes in the
distance, there protrudes the head of tur-
key cock. This figure caught its inspira-
ton in the mind of the artist from the fact
that either the goddess will have no pedes-
tai on which to sit when judgment day
comes, or that Roscoe CoNKLING was denied
the privilege of placing the laurel wreath
of fame on the brow of Americas hero, an
honor which GABRIEL has usurped. A long
procession of countless heroes sweeps along,
in the center of which is the immortal
GRANT. Atone place in the line is observed
a commotion of some sort, which is inter
preted to mean that the colonel of certain
Minnesota regiment is kicking because he
has not been assigned to a place at the head
of the column. With these trifiing eXcep-
tons the picture is an admirable creation of
genius.

your horses. In those days Col. John
Harper of Harper Bros. Commodore Van
derbilt and many other well-known gentle
men were almost daily frequenters of the
road. determined, if L could get them, to
have horses no Others could pass. At that
time Mayor Rice of Boston happened to be
in my office one day, and told me of the
swiftest pair of horses in New England
which were owned by Capt. Robbins.
They had just taken the first premium al
the New England fair 1 authorized
Mayor Rice to buy them for me.
They proved excellent, but nothing
to compare with what we have now.
After that followed the purchase OF
Lantern and Mate, Peerless, Lady Palmer,
Flatbush Maid and others Among the
famous horses which now own are Maud
5, Edwin Forrest, Rarus and Dexter.
