Another portrait has recently been dis
covered of George Washington. repre-
Eenting him in early manhood. A New
York gentleman who was travelling IN the
west purchased from a farmer nall
dozen impressions, which the farmer SAID
had been in mis- FAMILY for generations.
He failed to appreciate the value ana va
r1ety OF his possessions and willingly sold
them to the New Yorker, who Immediate
ly realized that he had great treasure.
on the engraving of Washington is the
legend, "Fub'd 10th July, 1874, by Whit
worth Q. Yates, birmingham" 1his En-
glish engraver had quite a reputation in
the past and published other prints or
Washington. This lately discovered en-
craving is said to be especially pleasing,
representing, as 1t does, Washington IN
young and robust manhood The copies
already given of it are decided I'M
provementfupon the pictures or the ia
Their of His Country with which we are
all so familiar. There is less of repose
about the face, mere fire and force, and
it gives one pleasant impression of the
original and a tirmer faith in the tradl-
tions that come down to us of our first
president. To the average American-no

wooden expression which pertains to his
portraits. 1t is gratifying to know that
this other picture of Washington has
been found and that the world can read
just it's views on the subject. We can go
back to our primitive faith in the history
OF this great Virginian; we can diSabuSe
our minds OF that latter-day doctrine
that was possessing the people, namely:
That man who looked like Washing
tons portraits was incapable of the great
deeds imputed to him. Now we can feel
that the deeds were true, but the por-
traits false.
