If the rising generation of blacks

Hanging in the hall Of the home Of
Attorney General Hampton L. Carson
on Spruce street, is a grouped series
of rare aud valuable engravings por-
traying Napoleon Bonaparte in the
many phases of his career. The collec-
ton, which comprises nearly twoscore
of portraits picked up in various parts
OF the world by Mr.. Carson, is inclosed
in a single large frame. The grouping
Of this big collection, including, as 1t
does, engrayings Of BOnaparte small,
large and varied in pose, was task
that proved puzzling when undertaken.
One day, after spending a long time
vainly arranging and rearranging the
portraits with an eye to securing the
best effect, Mr.. Carson packed up the
collection In a portfolio to complete
the Job at another time. Going down
stairs he stumbled, dropping the port
folio. and Uttered the floor with the en-
cravings. Pausing to survey the
wreck, he was struck by the grouping
of the portraits, which, by accident
had assumed a far more symmetrical
and satisfactory arrangement than the
attorney general had been able to pro-
duce.
A few changes were all that was
necessary to fix the collection to Mr.
Carson's liking, and to picture Trainer
was given the order to frame it as II
lay. The result is one of the mos'
striking effects in General Carson's
famous collection of engrayings.-Phil
