A PICTURE OF JUDGE UPsHUR.
Many Tenders of Seryice-A Negro
lent Likeness.

A beautiful old steel engraving OF
Judge Abel =. Upshur. recently presented
10 the Virginia Historical Society by Mr..
Beverly r. Crump, Of this city, now
adorns the desk of Mr.. Frank Brent
secretary Of the State Board OF Educa-
ton. The engraving was formerly own
cd bv the late Judge w. w. Crump, or
this city. who was a warm personal
friend Of Mr.. Upshur. and regarded IL as
an excellent likeness.
Judge Upshur was a native OF North-
ampton county, and was a judge or the
Circuit Court. President Tyler recog-
nized his ability, and when he became
President on the death Of President Har-
rison. he made Judge Upshur his Secre-
tary Of State. Judge Upshur and Cover
nor Thomas Walker Gilmer, Secretary OF
War. were killed by the explosion OF the
hig gun. "Peacemaker," on the United
states man-of-war Princeton, in 1874.
The late Hon. Henry A. Wise stated
that Daniel Webster once remarked 10
him that he regarded Judge Upshur as
one of the ablest men who ever hlled the
office of Secretary of State.
Efforts are now being made TO induce
q lady of the Eastern Shore, who Is a
collateral descendant Of Judge Upshur
and an artist OF ability, to paint a por-
trait Of her distinguished kinsman Tor
the State Library, using the engraving,
which is regarded as a much better hKe-
ness than the picture which hangs IN
Supreme Courtroom.
