ignate themselves by the last two figures
of the year in which they are to be grad

the class 100, which is not only absurd but
| unpronounceable. Let the college debat-

New York Star: A day or two ago l
was taking look at Thomas Hoyenden's
great picture, 1.-The Last Days of John
| Brown" Quite number of people were
gazing at the remarkable painting while /
studied it. Most of them looked at IL
through sheer curiosity, without seeing
the striking features of the artists work.
The old jail building. upon the steps OF
| which Brown is pictured as standing, Is
familiar to me, and Captain Avis, the
sheriff, who is represented as standing
| lust behind him with the ieath warrant
in his hand, died only a few years ago.
The old man in the door with the red
| necktie built the scaffold upon which
Brown was hanged, and he IS still living
in Charlestown. The picture OF the young
| man behind the sheriff and 10 the right OF
the carpenter gives an excellent idea Of
the type of men who still live in that
country. OF course the old man with his
arms pinioned for the scafold is the cen
trail figure of an interesting group of
soldiers, citizens and negroes. The artists
| representation of the old negro woman
holding up her black babe TO be kissed BY
the mistaken friend Of her race going to

followed the tragic scene which this
| picture is to perpetuate food for earnest
reflection do not remember ever 10 have
seen painting that possesses more his
torical interest than this or one having
| sadder touches.
