marriage license law Of Pennsylvania was
drawn up by Rev. 7. J. Sherrard, of Hon

the Legislature by Senator Harlan, of the

plying for license shall be questioned by
the Clerk of Court to whom the application
Is made. and the intent of the requirement.
as stated by both of the gentlemen referred
to. Is that any responsible person may take
out license for friends on satisfactorily an
swering tine questions OF the clerk But as
the law appears in pamphlet form the par
ty is changed to the parties so as TO
leave the impression that the persons to be
married must 20 before the clerk and be
Questioned. The belief is that this change
was made in order TO cause embarrassment
and bring such odium on the law as TO cause
it TO be repealed. The matter is to be in

Bank notes require the hnest work OF the

generally done in what is known as pure

Of steel engraving. These portraits. the size
of quarter-doliar, COS; $50 to $1,000 each
to engraye, requiring the most perfect work
of the few really skiilfui experts in this
very delicate and laborions art.
Rarely have artists been found bold
enough to attept larger portraits in this ex-
tremely difficult style Of engraving
Wm. E. Marshall surprised the artists of

Likeness of the great Emaneipator, had an
enormous sale, and established Marshaiis
reputation worldwide as the prince of por-
trait engrsyers.
But the erowning work OF this great gen

his compeers in this superb arr as did Rap
hael in his, has just been eompieted- 1t is
full iifs-sizs twice the size OF his LincolnJ

1t represents him in the full zenith OF his
military glory at the close of the war, and
with the insignia Of the special rank created
By Congress for him and held only By him.
1t is mastery work of art and superb
likeness of the great hero. Marshall is also
great as painter. being twice chosen by
Grant to paint his portrait, hence had ample
to study the man and truthfuily
portray, not merely his features. bat his
powerful character in the portrait.
This remarkable Line Engraving cannot
fail to immortalizs the name Of Marshall as
the Rapheal of his line Of art, while it con-
Yeys to posterity the immortal features and
character of the Napoleon of the present
