This league hiss made itself very
active and obnoxious to 8 good
number of our fellow citizens who

The Commissioners are more or

being continually poured into the
ears of this august body. This

the most fimsy subterfuges to close

The Excise Board which passes
upon all licenses of citizens seem

PORTRAIT OF PROFESSOR HARRIS
A Striking Likeness of Him on Ex-
hibificn at the College.


Two gentlemen were standing together
q few days ago in a hall OF Richmond
College one was a distinguished pro-
fessor in that institution. the other had
formerly been student there. AS they
talked the teacher said to the other:
"Come this way" and in a moment he
had sprung a door-catch. and the two
stood facing a number OF excellent por-
traits of departed friends and benefactors
of the college. Among these was one
which caught and chained their gaze from
the moment of entrance. This was
superb portrait In oil of Professor II. ii.
Harris. IL was life size, and its coloTing.
its cast of his familiar and beloved
features. its setting, and its outlines were
all that fastidious taste could desire.
There are yet other things 10 be said OF
1t. 1t is a splendid, speaking likeness
Of the great teacher.
The first impression which taxes pos
session Of one gazing upon 1t Is that ne
is standing face to face with man VINO
Is about to call him by name. The ilne.
dark eyes are there the boldly chiselled
brow. and even the outward twist OF
mis- full beard-all are faithfully repro
duced. Above all. the countenance has
not lost the intelligence which made IT
beam in lifetime, and In death appear as
that of one who has laid down to pleas
ant dreams.
The officers OF the college have invited
the artist TO hang il i'm the college chapel
during the commencement exercises,
and this will be done.
1t will be pleasant for many who have
attended the finals of Richmond College
year after year. until a score has passed.
and have learned to look upon Professor
Harris's kindly face, to feel that those
smiling, mschievous eyes fall on them
once more.
The portrait was painted by Mr..
Lucien Powell Virginian by birth, but
who has passed the more recent years in
Washington. His studio is there, and
his best and hardest work has been done
I'm it's quiet recesses. Mr.. Powell is yet
on the sunny side of middle life, but has
already accomplished a great deal with his
brush He does not at all coniine HIM
self TO portrait painting, but touches
landscape with equal ease and expression.
The artist is n brother Of Mrs. w. ID.
Thomas. of this city, and is widely known
in art circles of Richmond.

The remarks of DR.. Tudor, who pre-
sented the medals for composition and
debating at the college on Tuesday night,
provoked not a little adverse comment
Doctor had been somewhat too severe in
his criticisms of the work of the students,
but only those were of this opinion who
had missed the double entendre of DR..
Tudor's remarks.
Or Is,dor was much perplexed yester-
day. when told that his words had touch
ed some OF his hearers In sore spot.
and he vigorously disclaimed any inten-
fion TO hurt any ones feelings. He said
mat he merely meant 10 De facetious.
and depart from the beaten tracks OF
extravaeant eulogy and gush so often
employed on such occasions.
