The following extract from the New York
journal of Art. of July I'd, 1889, gives
most Just criticism of the famous painting

Aug. Fach's place, the California Wine

Journal says:
1--WE had the pleasure ON Tuesday of pri
vately examining at the United States Gus
tom house the latest work of French art,
just imported by Mr.. Julius Kessler, a
noted northwestern purchaser of fine paint
ings. This last selection, entitled "The
Suicide" is from the atelier of Michael
owsky, whose genius is the song of French
cities to-day. While the theme of the
painting is Hungarian, the treatment is
distinctively French-a superb combination

the young girl. sleeping in the sweet
repose Of remembered pleasures, with

of charms found only in the young woman
of the continent, is an exquisite gem. The
flowing outlines of the bust, the snowy
bosom, the soft curves of the white arms,
the parted lips of rose-red from which only
kisses flow, are irresistibly treated and
with admirable harmony. With such 4

the most liberal inducements to tho

Ainsworth Rand Stofford, the Libra
rian OF Congress, was born at Gilman
ton, New Hampshire, September 10,
1925. His father, who was clergy.
man, employed private tutor under
whom Ainsworth received the great
er part of his education. At the age.
of sixteen he went to Cincinnati,
where he found situation in book
selling and publishing house. Hence
he was brought into contact with liter
ary and scientific productions at a
very early period OF his life. This
gave the deciding direction to his ca
reer, since he seems to have been pc.
culiarly fitted for his profession. In
1859 he became Associate Editc. Of
the Daily Commercial, in Cincinnati.
He was appointed First Assistant Ii
brarian in 1861, and four years later
became Librarian in chief When he
entered upon his duties, the library
consisted Of but 10000 volumes, and
under his management has grown to
its present magnitude Mr.. Stofford
has brought about many changes of a
reiormative character in the Depart
ment supervised by him. Ike most
important of these is the amendment
to the law Of copyright, through which
the business of recording and authen-
ticating copyright, which was former
ly done by the District Courts Of each
State, is now transacted by the Libra
rian OF congress. He is said to have
a most excellent memory for facts, and
even for subsidiary circumstances con-
nected with them-a quality which
can not be too highly appreciated, it
being one OF the most important fac.
tors in making him competent to hold
position OF such importance.
