it became necessary for him to go to

courteously ask his negro colleague to
accompany him, and more than once
they were seen making their way
there arm in arm, as though they were
old cronieS. And it was noticed that
the advances invariably came from
Senator Lamar; that Senator Bruce
did not presume upon the official re-

Senator Lamar to force his personal
attentions upon the latter.

Has ain Old Relic of Washington.

Has ain Old Relic of Washington.
One of the most interesting relics OF
George Washington is owned by the
city of Salem. 1t is a medallion in
wood, carved after a sketch from life.
The same artist executed both
sketch and carving, which gives the
relic added value. He was Samuel Nc
Intire, native genius with gift for
portraiture. He studied Washington
when the father of his country visited
Salem on his tour of the east, and
made the medallion shortly afterward,
to adorn the arch over the west en-
trance of Washington square, Salem.
Here the eff1gy remained from 1907
until 1850, when the arch was taken
down to give place to an iron fence,
still in use.
This Washington relic is kept in the
freproof room at the Essex institute,
Salem, where it is frequently studied
by artists and others as an odd and
striking likeness of the great Amerf-
can whom no two artists pictured
alike.-Boston Globe.
