Archibald Robertson came to Ameri-
ca from Aberdeen. Scotland, with an
Introduction from the Earl of Buchan
to Washington which bore the request
that Washington would sit to the bear
er for his portrait. Robertson reached
New York in October, 1871, and opened
a studio and art school.
Mr.. Robertson says, although ac-
cuStomed to intercourse with those Of
the highest rank in my native country,
l never experienced the same feelings
as l did OH my first introduction to
the American hero" Robertson paint
ed two miniatures, one Of Washington
and one of Mrs. Washington. These
miniatures descended to Robertson's
granddaughter, Mrs. c. W. Darling Of
Utica. n. y. and Mrs. S. NJ Mygatt Of
New York city. The miniatures are
remarkable for their beauty and finish
as works If art. Robertson painted u
large portrait in Oil for Lord Buchan,
which is row in Dryburg Abbey, Scot
land. 1t received the approval of Wash
ington. Robertson painted, besides
those mentioned, the following:
First.-A portrait on marble 9 by IL.
This is said to be exquisite work, and
Is now owned By NJ. G. Crafts or her
descendant or hoirS
Second.-A miniature on ivory which
belongs to Mr.. E. L. Rodgers of Balti-
more. This contains hair of General
and Mrs. Washington.
Third.-A miniature set with dia-
monds and pearls. This was inherited
from Mrs. Martha Peters by her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Beverley Kennon.
Fourth.-A portrait from life in the
year 1892. This portrait is now sup
posed to be at Dryburg Abbey, the
seat of Earl Buchan
John Trumbull, the artist, was the

Another of these portraits is owned by

Eleanor Park Custis, the granddaugh-

from shadows on the wall at Mount

Washington and afterward cut silhou-

WILSON PEALE.
size portrait of Washington This, his
tory informs us, was in the year 11I2.
Peale had Just returned from Europe
and was invited to Mount Vernon when
Washington was forty years of age
He painted a three-quarter length por-
trait in the dress of colonel Of mill
tia of the colony of Virginia. Wash
ington wears cooked hat and carries
gun slung over his shoulder. This
portrait has been engraved very often
and is familiar to all who take an in
terest in Washington's likenesses. Peale
painted a bust portrait from the three
quarter length. which came into the
possession of Charles S. Ogden and is
supposed to be still in his family. Peale,
besides being a skilled mechanic and
the most renowned portrait painter
then in America was also soldier in
the Revolutionary army and led his
company in action.
In 1717. when congress was sitting in
Philadelphia, it ordered the artist to
paint full length portrait of Washing
ton. Peale was then with his company
at Valley Forge. The battles Of Prince
ton and Monmouth were both fought
before the portrait was finished. and
the brave artist led his company In both
battles. Washington was very friendly
to Charles Wilson Peale and sat for
him when he could spare the time.
He sat for the picture which congress
had ordered and took great interest in
it. 1t is a historical composition, with
Washington in full uniform, his hand
resting on q cannon. The picture was
finished In Philadelphia in 1IS9, and,
as is usual in such cases, the artist and
his labors were forgotten. Congress
adjourned without paying for the pic
ture, and the artist never received a
cent for his work. The picture was sent

There seems to be some doubt and
difference of opinion as to who painted
the first likeness of Washington from
life. 1t is Il miniature and is still in
existence. Some say that it was paint
ed in Boston by Copley but Rembrandt
Pcale, who painted Washington from
life declares that the first miniature
was painted by his father, Charles
Wilson Peale. With this opinion we
are inclined to agree. Charles Wilson
Peale was very remarkable man. He

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
gripe nor weaken the system. They cure
billiousness, jaundice, constipation and
inactive livers, by arousing the secre-
tions, moving the bowels gently, yet ef-
fectnally, and giving such tone and
strength TO the glands OF the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause of the
trouble is removed entirely. These ia

feet upon the organs involved, and IL

there will be no return OF the trouble.
