We shall have an opportunity on Fri
day and Saturday to see two of the great
est pictures ever painted by one of the
most distinguished artists in this coun
try William Edgar Marshall Mr.. Mar
shall is very widely known by his paint
ings of Lincoln and Grant. whose poF-
traits he painted. from life, and by his
colossal Christ's head, which was lent
for long time to the Metropolitan Mus
cum. New York. This colossal head
has probably been more written about
than has any other picture ever painted
by an Americon artist Mr.. Marshall
was the last artist that Painted General
Sherman from life. About two years
ago, MIR. Marshall painted MIR Alfred
Ayres in the character of Shylock, and
Miss Warren in the character of Portia,
and these are the paintings we shall have
an opportunity to see. Mr.. Marshall we
are told, considers the Shylock the best
picture he has ever painted. For OBJ
vious reasons. the Portia is generally
considered the more pleasing picture OF
the two. though the Shylock deserves
the highest place as work of art. The
originals of these paintings will be seen
at the Opera House on Friday evening
in the character of Shylock and Portia,
respectively

The COLUMBIA Daily calendar

An old friend in a new dress, and an
article that has come to be one of the
indispensables of an editors desk, comes
to hand in the Columbia Daily Calendar

of a pad containing 367 leaves, each 81 x
81 inches; one for each day of the year,
to be removed daily, and one for the en-
tire year. The day of the week, of the
month, and of the year are given. and
each slip bears a short paragraph per-
tanning to cycling or some kindred sub.
ject. At the bottom of each leaf is a
blank for memoranda. every leaf being
accessible at any time. The stand is an
entirely new departure, being made OF
sheet metal finished in ivory black, and
Is very compact At the end of the year
the stand will be available for another
pad his is the seventh issue OF this
now well-known Calendar, yet all the
matter is fresh and new. having been
carefully collated from leading publica
tions and prominent writers. most of IL
being specially written for this purpose.
1t comprises notable events in cycling,
opinio of physi ians and clergymen,
hints about road making, and numerous
other topics.

Mechanical Toys.

Mechanical toys of most ingenious
construction are now the leading attIac-

hibilion in most of the fancy stores. and
are sold at fairly moderate prices. though
some of them can be had only at figures
that place them out of the reach OF any
but the rich and well-to-do. These fine
toys have multiplied greatly within few
