they get up .'better rested" and with

TO be entrusted with the great task which had
been laid out. He also ELECTED the cooperation
OF Mr.. Theo. X. Davis, who was, during all the
period Of the Civil War, the war artist for Har-
per's Weekly and who was possessed OF rare
collection OF sketches Of all the principle battles,
as well as marvellous memory OF the events and
men, and an acquaintance as wide as the land
from which to draw information not in his own
possession.
Mr.. Davis became to the task OF painting cor
rect historical pictures of the famous battles Of
our war, the eyes by which the things OF the
past were to be seen. His part in the painting
Of 'iAtlanta" has been conspicuous one-such
as probably no other man now living could have
played. The staff of painters included, besides
Professors Lohr aud Heine eighteen Of the best
war painters Of Europe largely from Munich,
Dresden and Vienna. Among this number was
Herman Mchalwoski, young portrait painter
of much talent. who has painted in the picture,
the portraits Of several hundred well known Of
fcers, living and dead.
