Many more could be mentioned if there
were time, but we must hasten to tell of somo
famous trees.
THE OLD LIBERTY ELM.
This was planted in Boston long before tho
revolutionary war by a school master, who
dedicated it to the future independence of the
American colonies Speeches for freedom
were made under its branches, and during
the war the people Of Boston gathered there
to pray for the victory Of their heroes. After
these prayers had been answered, freedom
was celebrated near it. This famous old tree
fell during storm some years ago, and so
great was the grief of the people that bells
were tolled all over the city.
THE WASHINGTON ELM
Under this tree which still stands in CAM
bridge, Mass, Washington stood to takocom-
mand of tho Continental army, July 3, 1775.
1t stands in tho center of a broad street, pro
tected by fence, and is always an object OF
interest to visitors to tho historic city.
THE BURGoYNE ELM.
This tree, which grows in Albany, N. Y,
was planted tho day after Burgoyne's sur
render, on the day he was brought a prisoner
to Albany.
TREE FROM NApoLEoH's GRAVE
In Copp's burying ground, near Bunker
Hill, Mass, is a weeping willow, which grew
from branch taken from tree that shaded
the grave Of Napoleon In st. Helena. Its
leaves now wave over the last resting place
Of Cotton Mather.

Ex-Secretary of the Interior john Palmer
Usher, who died recently in Philadelphia,
was comparatively unknown to the present
generation, but there was u time when he was
a power in the politics and law practice Of
the west. and during the ten years just pre-
ceiing the war lie was probably the most src-
cessful criminal lawyer i'll Indiana. On the
2ou, Of March, lSC2, lo was appointed first
assistant, secretary Of the interior, and on the
resignation Of lis chief, Hon Caleb i. Smith,
he became secretary Jan, S, 1868, holding that
Office till May l5, 1865, when he resigned a.,.

Pacific railroad, which ended his career as {.

There are moro portraits Of George Wash
thirry-seyt,n in ali---in the exhibition
tnan have ever before been collected They
form probably the most interesting feature
of the exhibition Some OF them are vau-
able only for their historic associations.
Others, notably the replicas of Stuart's
well known portraits, are really line works Of
art. Washington is represented i'll hll atti
tudes, and some Of the postj1res, lie it said
with all due respect, arc Of such pulpablc
thcatricality as to ttetract considerably from
the imprcssivcness Of the paintings. But in
these cascs the fault Was of course with the
artists. The well known full length portrait
by Icale, for instance, is rather too much
like heroic tableau to be very seriously
considered i'll these days.
1t represents Washington at tue battle OF
Princeton. and for some nsGrutahle reason
that has probably ncvcl, been fathpme1 the
death Of Gen. Mercer, with Il surgeon bend
ing over him, is brought into the picture.
Washington has an upliftad sword in his
right hand, but insomuch that he DOES not
appear to be directing any one or pointing
anywhere with it, this accessory would seem
to be entirely supernuous. The most striking
feature Of the portrait, however, is that, al

THE CENTENNIAL LOAN EXHIBITION
IN NEW YORK CITY. g..

Nearly Forty Portraits Of George WASH
ington--rhe Celebrated Full Length plct-
by Gilbert Stuurt--portrait of Wash
ingt"n at the Battle of Princeton. a..
The centennial loan exhibition. which was
recently opened at the Metropolitan Opera
house in New York city, is remarkable in
many respects. The portraits, historical
paintings and relics give the visitor Won
derfully complete idea Of the celebrated per-
sonaycs who took part in the American revo-
luton. This is none the less so because of tho
fact that not u few Of the pictures, more cs-
pecally some Of the portraits are not at all
good from m artistic point of view, being
conceived and painted in the lorid style so
common in the early part of this century.
