teristic OF the artists frank treatment.
Bellows development is admirably
shown by two portraits, one of a man

a beautiful piece OF work, different
from the rank and file.

canvases. Alice" a portrait, and an
other a study in sunshine, that are

influence would have been larger. His capacity

We suspect that the Colonel always hankered
after philosophy. His boundless curiosity and
love of generalizing that ran to the verge Of
platitudes were just as marked in his nature as
his talent for practical politics and his gift for
attracting u following among the masses. But
his restless energy always kept him from giving
