W. E K R1t A SILHOUETTE STORY. --O RY A SEPTUAGENARIAN ARTIST. A Relic of a Curious and Almost For gotten Art--Wonderful Picture of the City Troop--The Old Man's Rovaini scences of Distinguished Men. ^)om the Phuiadelphia Times. In a large room on the ground floor of the building 828 Walnut street is now on exhibition a picture of a kind not often seen in those days. It is nearly forty foot long, and represents the Philadelphia City Troop, mounted, marching in columns of fours. Every officer is in his proper position, and all are in full uniform. Including the two buglars in front, there are seventy two figures in the picture. In the production of this curiosity no paint was used, no photographer's in struments or other machiner y brought into requisition, but the entire pageant-men, horses, uni forms, arms, accoutrements and flags-is cut out of paper of differ ent appropriate colors with a pair of small scissors. The faces of the soldiers are not intended as like nesses, but it is so arranged that a photograph of each member's face may be placed where it properly belongs and so make the picture a lasting memento of the present membership for future generations to look upon. Mr. William H. Brown, the con structor of this curious picture, is a relic of the past generation, and a representative of an art now almost entirely lost or forgotten. He was born in Charleston, S. U., in 1808. His father was a well-known ner chant of that city. His brother, Alexander H. Brown, is one of the oldest members of the South Caro, lina bar. HE TRIES FORTUNE HERE. After having finished his educa.. tion at the Garrison Forest Acade my, near Baltimore, Mr. Brown came to this city and took a posi tion with Gillingham Tevis & Co, auction and commission merchants, on Market street, in which firm his brother-in-law, Pope Mitchell, was at that time a partner. He married here, and although he has wandered much, he has ever since considered Philadelphia his home. From his earliest yeuri he showed a remnarka ble facility in eutting out pictures. In conversation with a Tnies rep resentative the old man said: "When I was searcely more than a baby all my mother had to do to keep me quiet was to give me a piece of paper and a pair of scissors." In school lhe was noted for the caricatures of his associates which he pr'oduced. Finally lhe adopted silhouette portrait making as a profession, traveling all over the country, "cutting" friends and strangers alike. He received sit-. tings from all the most distinguish.. ed men of the day. He has a scrap-book filled with compli metr ress notices of his work.4 .a 1846 Mr. Brown publlished a work, containing full-length silhou~ otto likenesses from originals, cut by his own scissors, of John Marshall, John Quincy Adams, Richlard Channing Moore, Andrew Jackson, John Forsyth, William Henry Harrison, John C. Calhoun, De Witt Clinton, Richard M. John son, Joel Roberts Poinsett, Alexan der Macomb, Martin Van Buron, Samuel Lewis Southard, Henry Clay, Henry A. Wise, Thomas H. Benton, John Tyler, Levi Wood bury, Thomas Cooper, Daniel Web ster, Bishop White, Silas Wright, Nathaniel P. Talmadge, Felix Grundy, Dixon Hall Lewis and John Randolph. The work con tained a biographical sketch of each in a letter press and a fac simnilA autograph letter from each, many of them addressed -to the author. Mr. Calhoun's letter, written in a delicate, lady-like hand, but bold and clear withal, is as follows: DEAn SIR: I take pleasure in bearing testimony to your. great aptitude in taking likenesses in your way and the fidelity with wvhih they are executed. I .wish you great success in the work which you are about to publish, and do not doubt but that, you will make it worthy of the pubilik patronage. &c &oc . J.O. Oa*onx. BILHOUETTE OF WASHINoTON. The frontispiece of the work is an original silhouette of George Washington, which was given to Mr. Brown by a lady of Browns ville, in this State, in 1882, who had received it from Washington's own hand when a little child in Alex andria, Virginia. This lady's son was drowned, and after his body was recovered Mr. Brown made a likeness of him which the mother prized so highly that she gave the artist, who refused any pay, her treasured picture of Washington. Mr. Brown s book has become very rare. The old man is poor and a few weeks ago he took -ii 'ltst re maining copy, consisting of only loose leaves, and started out to sell it. The first place he entered was the book store of Messrs. Porter & Coates. Without a moment's hesitation those gentlemen bought it, paying the author his own 1price, $15. The old man loves to dwell on reminiscences of the great men whose pictures he made. "In 1863," he said, "I was in Washing ton, and called on the President, Andrew Jackson. I only saw him about three minutes, but after I got back to my room I made a portrait of him from memory. I took it up and showed it to him, and he was so pleased with it that nothing would do but I must take him on horseback. So he had his horse brought out and rode around the ground to give me different views, and sir," said he, with much pride, "Major Donaldson now has that picture at the 'Hermitage.' I made my picture of Randolph on the day he started from Norfolk, as Minister to Russia, under appointment from General Jackson. He stayed in Russia only three day. He didn't like the climate." The old man wandered off into recollections of the eccentric genius of Roanoke. CALHOUN'S FUNERAL. When Calhoun's funeral took place in Charleston, Mr. Brown was present, and at the solicitation of the citizens of Charleston, who furnished all the money ftecessary, Mr. Brown undertook to make a diorama of the scene. Recounting this labor to the Times representa tive he said: "It took me nine months to do it. No one knows how may boxes of tin I cut up. I hired a man to paint the figures, and every figure walked. "I exhibited this diorama with great success all through the South," said Mr. Brown. "Then I brought it to Philadelphin, but this was a little too far North." One night at the United States Hotel I heard two men talking: "'Going to see the diorama to night?' "'What diorama?' 'The funeral of Calhoun I' "'Oh, d--n Calhouu,. he. ought to have been dead five hundred years ago.' 1 was at Natchez When a fello* showed me the first daguir recotype, which he said was taken by a machine. 'A machine, a ma chine,' I said ; now any fool can be an artist, so I engaged as first clerk on a Vicksburg and New Orleans packet, and since then I have been mostly steamboating and i-ailroad ing. I ran for a.long time on the Philadelphia and Erne road, , 4 bve been here since July 4, Z8I l wJIpn I came to see the Centenni .i "I amn an old man, but you see my right hand has not yet lost its cunning," continued Mr. Bk-own, bI'inging out front a drawer in~ his table the fggre of a Black Hussar, mounted upod a gailyseapar.isoned, high-stepping horsa seveAl gray~ uniformed m~emnbers j4 the geciond Regiment and a number of wvell executed portygij of, yeIlh.jmfqwn citizens. "In my old age I have resumed the work of imy youth and early manhood. Ydu would be astonished to see the number of visitors I have daily, whose piebutes I take for a very small prnep and detaining the subject only about three minutes." Ex-President Jefferson D)avls contributes to the Southern Iftori.. cl Society .Papers a paper fm the famous "Peace Commission." He replies to certain statements made by Hon. Rt. M. T.
