Freddy brought the clipping to me an< asked what it meant. I told him that supposed it meant that a person coul save two hours a day by having all hi work or amusement planned or arrange* beforehand?such and such a thing to b doneatsuch a time, and another thin following dirpctly after, and so on. Freddy seemed so much interested tha I a4visod him to make out a time-tabl* for .himself, and try running on it fo a few days. He said he guessed h ??vnM Wonoa ftvfra. hours ft dft' HVUIU) UVVMUWV vt?w ? ? , y* tfould be a great help to him in learninj ? . to strike out the fellows, and possibl; would secure him the coveted position c pitcher in the school nine.

"People are always making fun of u Russians for taking things so literally, said a Russian major, in whose compan; David Ker was ascending the Dneipei "and not without some reason, I mus admit. You remember that story you to! me the other day about a man who had china cup given to him as the model for complete set, and finding that it had beei cracked and mended, turned out the whol set cracked and mended in the very sam way? Well, I could find you half-a-dozei men in any Russian town you like wh would do just the same thing themselves.1 "Very likely," said I, "though I doub whether they would carry their litem obedience quite so far as the Americai printer who was told to 'follow copy,' am when the copy blew out the window jumped after it and broke his leg." "Well, I can match even that," laughei Major K. "Did you ever hear how th telegraph line between St. Petersburi and Peterhof was left unofficered? Well you know, before the electric wires wer laid, we used to telegraph in the old fashioi way by signals, and all along the Peterhc road there were signal stations placed jus within sight of each other, and at each sta tion a clerk with strict orders to repeat ex actly any signal made by his right-hand o left-hand neighbor. One day the firs clerk on the'line, in a fit of despair at hav ing lost nearly all his money, hanged him ? ? aelf on Ite nearest telegraph post. Hi next neighbor, seeing thi9, took it for i signal, and instantly strung himself up ii like manner, and the end of it was that al the clerks on the line hanged themselve in regular rotation." "Well," remarked I, "that's no wors than the story of the order sent from Pe kin to the authorities of a great Chines town, commanding that a certain nativ merchant should be 'hung up in his count ing-house;' and then after his executioi somebody discovered that the word should have been translated, 'suspended ii his office.'" Getting at the Facts.?There ar always people who pride themselves upoi getting at the exacte3t information, n matter if it all belongs to matters of tb most trifling importance. Such a persoi was once examining in court a witness a matter-of-fact as himself. A fence was ii some way connected with the case. Th lawyer wished to impress upon the coui and jury that-the witness was perfectl; familiar with that particular fence, an< was, therefore competent to speak of it condition. To that end he asked: "Do you or do you not know the fenc between the farms of Patrick Barney am Timothy Sullivan ?" "I do, yer Honor." "And have you at any time crawled uc der that fence?" Al-KTS YT?? JJ "XNiver, yvr auuui. "Never?" "Never." "Well, then, can you or can you not rc call ever having crawled through tha fence?" "I cannot, yer Honor." "Perhaps you may be able to state pos: tively whether you have or have nc climbed over that fence?" "I have, yer Honor." "Now, Mr. Witness, remembering tha you are giving your testimony under oatl you .will be so good as to state definitel to the court and jury precisely what pai of that fence you climbed over." "The top, sorr." An Irrepressible Bridegroom."Do you take this woman to be your wee ded wife?" began a young divine wh had been called upon to unite in matr mony a couple from the rural districts. "Poos," promptly put in the groon not waiting for the complete question. "To love?" went on the reverend quei tioner again as soon as he had recovere from the explosive affirmative so unej pectedly given. "Pckw," came again with undiminisl ed vigor from the groom. And to honor, to?" A third "Taos" came equally forcefi and prompt, to the entire defeat of M; Brown's scheme of gliding into the nea phrase. "To cherish?" "Taos." And so on through the entire paragrapl It was quite evident that the youn man was willing. The same gentleman tells a story of groom who after the ceremony slipped two-dollar bill into his hand, murmu; ing, apologetically, "I'll do better nej time." It seems that in the wisdom of ni ture guinea pigs have no tails?and then by bangs a tale. A man recently investe in a dear little guinea pig for the edificj tion of his youngest boy. Before the woi dering youth was presented with the an mal the father gave him this admonition lnolr-a.hprp. .Tnhnnv. don't VC hold that pig up by the tail, or its e*y< will drop out." The awe-stricken boy ri tired, and soon rejoiced in the possessio of his pig. He had not amused himse long with the pet before he convulsed th whole family by shouting out: "PapH papa! somebody's been holdin' this pi up by the eyes!" $Sf "Hullo, Billy," shouted a publ schoolboy of the primary division to a pa ochial shool chum, "I'm studying Hijir and phizzerology now! Don't teach 'ei in your school, does they?

LARGE YIELDS OP CORN, h As it is likely we will have a consider- 3' y -able contest in South Carolina for the large d premiums offered for the best acre of corn C( grown this year, I have searched the recd ords for information on the subject, which I I give below. v d In the memoirs of the New York Agris cultural Society for the year 1818, there is p d a well attested report of 118 bushels of corn e having been raised at one crop on one acre , g of land. u In 1820 the Massacusetts Agricultural t Society awarded a premium of $30 to Jon- j e athan'Hunewell for the best acre of corn, M r which measured 11} bushels. R. H. Rose, j c e the same year and State, raised at the rate I y of 136 bushels per acre, and Thos. P. Ben- j s g net, of Maryland, raised 131 bushels per i a y acre. In the year 1821, Tresden & Miller, ! >f nf Massachusetts. ?ot a Drtmium of $30 for i y 105 bushels per acre, and in the year 1823 John and Matthew Pratt were reported to 8 have raised 517J bushels on 3 acres, or over 172 per acre. ti In the year 1827 John Andrews, of e Maryland, has a statement of 110 bushels per acre, and the next report of note comes . from Dr. Parker, South Carolina, who c< raised 200$ bushels in the year 1857. . n Now let's see about how this corn looks standing on the ground to produce 200 : bushels per acre: allowing 106 average Cl ears to the bushel?which is about right? 8 rows 3 feet wide, hills 18 inches in the ^ drill and two average ears to the hill, will give just 182 bushels to the acre. Rows a four feet, wide, hills 20 inches apart in the S drill and three average ears to the hill, v will give 185 bushels.to the acre. Rows 4 feet wide, stalks 12 inches apart in the J II drill and one average ear to the stalk, will a give 102 bushels per acre, or two ears to ? e the stalk will give 204 bushels to the acre, l< or 21,624 average ears to the acre, which, j if shelled, will completely cover one acre b >- of land, and if these ears average 9 inches s I- long and the rows are 24 feet wide and the tl i. ears are laid lengthwise of the rows, every e row will have a continuous line of ears t touching each other al' over the acre. ' d While we have no good reasons to " doubt that 200 bushels has been raised on D one acre of land, yet when we are forced j >1 to say that it must be a grand sight indeed, ft and no wonder that our Western States tl i' look upon this wonderful crop as being p raised in South Carolina with a good deal of incredulity. J The writer has measured a considerable C( number of acres of fine corn, but the larg- P est yield I have measured was about 82 P i. bushels on the acre, and a field of 40 acres 8 o that averaged about 63 bushels to the acre I thought the finest field of corn I ever tl s saw grow, but if we will apply the skill ^ i- and energy to corn that has been bestowed a s upon the cotton plant and its culture du- j? ring the last 32 years, since Dr. Parker s beat the world on corn, it would seem J within the bounds of possibility to surpass ft this large crop, since we have at least ft thribbled our yield of cotton since that " 8 time. At any rate, it behooves every far- e " mer in South Carolina, who can, to make y a strong effort to win this premium and 0' , keep the honor of beating the world on it corn, and I hope thai the board of agricul- g, d ture will follow their commendable efforts ? a in this line, and devise such means of sua pervision in measurements of the land J n and crops as to place the whole matter be- p e yond the doubts of the skeptic. And in h e the way of encouragement to those who t< n may fall behind I would suggest that our h o State Agricultural Society offer a premium ? of $50 for the second and $25 for the third ,, it best acre produced in the State. A Up to the time that Dr. Parker beat the 0 world on the best acre of corn, David Jus1 tice, near Raleigh, N. C., had the lead for the best ear of corn, which contained 1,321 1 grains, with 50 rows on the cob and only tl i nine inches long. This corn was grown 0| e in the year 1832. By way of comparison a g I have just counted the largest ear that I bi 1, could find in my crib, which contained r< e 1,232 graius and only 24 rows to the ear, ti and as ears measuring twelve, fourteen J if and even sixteen inches are not uncom- M it mon these days, I believe that Mr. Jus- fc tice's large ear has been beaten, which I > hope may encourage some one who may y r have a longer ear to report it.?[J.

JJ s A friend who makes hog raising a sue- a| a cess, furnishes me with his plan in keep- tr a ing his hogs free from disease, and wish- ^ 1 ing to impart this information to my s friends, I beg space through your columns 1 to do so. h, e Keep the beds well sheltered and floored, fe t- and have the beds removed every two or ce e three weeks, especially so with pigs, as T e they cut the leaves and straw rapidly, and pi - create dust that is poisonous to them. In . q addition to this, he mixes one half cop- ^ s peras, one fourth each soda and sulphur D1 a (mix thoroughly), and gives grown hogs a tablespoonful and to pigs or shoats a teaspoonful every ten days or two weeks ^ e in slop. Change feed as often as possible, and never feed anything whole except 1 0 sweet potatoes, and with them add salt, ai e Should the hogs have cholera, give tea- pi q spoonful of carbolic acid in buttermilk, rt s half water, every few hours until relieved, st n If the hog is too sick to eat, drench him. tl e Any druggist can dilute the acid to the el t proper strength. y Last summer most of our farmers lost J 1 nearly all of their hogs from an epidemic, s and in consequence very few have home P1 raised meat to eat. Now, if the informa -?I /%? Ka f Ka TYlAAriO A f* oo IT. ll 0 HUll givei.1 uwwvc win uu me uicauo v/i out J ing one hog in a neighborhood, I will feel 01 amply rewarded for imparting the infor- P1 mation obtained from my friend, who is a j i- successful hog raiser, as the premiums p awarded to him at the State Fair for Eng- u lish Berkshires show. e, Another important matter in connection s, with hog raising: My friend feeds almost ft exclusively on sweet potatoes, which he p it finds to be the cheapest feed he can raise on his farm, and equal to grain in fatten- J ing, giving a delicious flavor to the meat. i- I would mention the name of my friend, J] >t but as he is extremely modest I feel sure he would not forgive me for parading him s< before the public. Fairfield is fortunate ? it in having such a sterling farmer in the J* 1 county.?[Thos. W. Holloway, in Cotton " y Plant. rt Breaking Up Sitting Hens.?There have been many suggestions given as to the ~ best mode of breaking up the sitting hens d in order to compel them to desist from in- ? ~ cubation. When a hen begins to sit she is 8 ** fat. If she is prevented from carrying out a L? her intentiou of sitting, by being broken 8 l~ up, she will lay only a few eggs and begin sitting again. Now we will give au excel- h lent plan which will save time and give ?< more eggs after the hen is broken up. In ti the first place let her stay on the nest a week, t d giving her no food the first three days, r and only one meal the next two days and b one the next two, which completes the y x" week, but let her have all the water she c desires. She will then fall off in flesh, and should be taken from the nest and " placed in a lath box, with open sides and * r- open bottom, with no nest or anywhere * for her to sit, giving only one meal a day, r which should be stale bread soaked in ? milk and a little chopped clover. Keep 1 her in the box two or three days, and then ? K let her be placed with the other fowls. t E She will then be in good laying condi- c tion, not too fat, and will lay on, and not a attempt to hatch another brood for quite a ; a length of time.?[Mirror and Farmer. ^ rt T?r Snnur in t.hfi Lancet, recom- ^ , mends the use of a mixture of equal parts L of glycerine and castor oil, slightly flavor- ? j. ed with oil of almonds or lemon, as an J a. agreeable substitute for castor oil. He J ,'d states that of this mixture a teaspoonful 1 j. is an effective dose, and in case of chronic j. constipation, hemorrhoids and anjemia, it j_ has proved most useful. Ilalf-teaspoonful ^ i. doses have also been found useful in the t ,u early stages of bronchitis, in which itseems a ;s to promote exudation from the bronchial v g_ tubes and is certainly expectorant. By j. "n first pouring the glycerine into a mortar f If and adding the castor oil very gradually, t ie triturating thoroughly meanwhile, a per- ^ fectly homogeneous jelly-like emulsion is g the result. c atsT" We give the following five ways to ^ stop a cold : 1.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE NE W CABINET. JAMES GILLESPIE BLAINE. James Gillespie Blaine, the new Secretary of State, has been so long in public life that his history is an open secret to every citizen. Mr. uiaine was Dorn in West Brownsville, Washington county, Pa., January 31, 1830, and is thereforefifty-nine years of age. Mr. Blaine enjoyed the advantages of a good education in his youth. He had excellent teachers and was carefully trained under the supervision of his father, a man of refined tastes and considerable wealth. He received his first schooling in Lancaster, Ohio, where he went in 1841 to reside with a near relative, Thomas Ewing, then Secretary of the Treasury. He was prepared for Washing:on College by Thomas Lyons, a brother of Lord Lyons, and was graduated from that institution in 1847. While teaching in a military school in Blue Lick Springs, Ky., which was his first venture after graduating from college, Mr. Blaine met Miss Harriet Stanwood, of Maine, and after a brief cou*tship they were married. Blaine soon removed to Augusta, where he purchased a half interest in the Kennebec Journal and became the editor. Mr. Blaine's debut in the political arena dates back to 1856, when he was chosen a delegate to the first Republican Convention, which nominated General Fremont for the Presidency. Politics suited Mr. Blaine's tastes even better than journalism, and after a short experience as editor of the Portland Advertiser he bade goodby to the editorial sanctum and launched into his parliamentary career. In 1858 he was elected a member of the Legislature and served three terms of two years each, and the last two terms as Speaker. In 1862 Mr. Blaine took his seat in Congress, wherein one branch or the other he served for eighteen years. His first great speech was an argument favoring the assumption by the Government of the State war debts and a logical train of evidence to show that the North was abundantly able to carry the war to a successful issue. On his return from Europe in 1867, his first speech was to oppose the prevailing doctrine that the public debt should be paid in greenbacks. When Costello, Warren, Blake and other Irish Americans were arrested in England charged with complicity in the Fenian plots, Mr. Blaine rushed to their rescue. As a result England took a back seat and Costello was released. Mr. Blaine's fierce tilt with the late Benjamin Hill, of Georgia, in the discussion of the so-called Amnesty bill to remove the political disabilities of those who had taken an active part against the Union during the war, which Mr. Blaine opposed, perhaps, more than any other of his acts while in public life, gave him a national reputation. The debate led to a personal encounter of words, and Mr. Blaine was openly accused of having received a gift of $64,000 from the Union Pacific Railway for some undefined service in the shape of Little Rock and Fort Smith honds. An investigation was ordered, which led to the publication of an extended correspondence that passed between M. Blaine and his secretary, a man by the name of Mulligan, and passed into history under the sobriquet of the "Mulligan letters." From this on Mr. Blaine's biography need scarcely be told. In the brief months of Mr. Garfield's Presidency, Blaine was Secretary of State. His memorable fight for supremacy as a leader of the Republican party with the late Roscoe Conkling, is also too well known to need rehearsing. So, too is his defeat when he ran for the presidency against Grover Cleveland. WILLIAM WINDOM. Ex-Senator William Windom, Secretary of the Treasury, has filled that responsible positiou before, having been chosen by Garfield in 1881. Having lived many years in Minnesota, and having represented that State in the United States Senate for three terms, the popular impression is that he is a native of that State, whereas he was born in Belmont county, O., May 10, 1827. After graduating at an academy he studied law at Mount Vernon, Ohio, and was admitted to the bar in 1850. Being of a genial disposition and possessing some legal ability, he was made prosecuting attorney for Knox county, in 1852. He held the position until 1855, when he removed to Minnesota. Soon after his ar rival in that State he decided to mix politics with his law business, and very soon became a prominent figure in the Republican ranks, and in 1859 his party sent him to Congress. In 1870 he wus appointed to the United Senate to fill the unexpired term of Daniel S. Norton, deceased, and subsequently was chosen for the term that ended in 1877. He was again elected for the term that closed in 1883, but resigned in 1881 to enter the cabinet of President Garfield as Secretary of the Treasury. Upon the accession of President Arthur in the same year Secretary Win' jm retired from the Cabinet. Upon his return to Minnesota the Legislature of that State elected him to serve the remainder of his term in the Senate. In that body Mr. Windoni acted as chairman of the committer on appropriations, foreign affairs and transportation. Within the past few years ex-Senator Windom has made New York city his headquarters, beingengaged in the promotion of railway and financial schemes. RED FIELD PROCTOR. Itedfield Proctor, the new head of the War department, is a native of Vermont, and was at onetime Governor of the State. Among the reasons given for the recognition by the new President of the Green Mountain State are, first the eminence of ex-Gov. Proctor in his party, it being stated that he virtually controls the party in his State, and, second, the fact that he, as the chairman of the Vermont delegation to the Chicago Convention, last year, was the head of the only delegation in the whole body which voted solidly for Harrison first, last and all the time. Ex-Governor Proctor has all his life been engaged in "trade," being in every sense a self-made man, who has managed lO gCl lUgCl/llCl iV JCSJ-JCClttLMC ItHlUUC 1U rt State that is not noted for being burdened with wealth. He lives at Proctor, a town founded by him, and which is situated a few miles from Rutland. He is in practical control of the whole output of Vermont marble quarries, and is one of the largest dealers in that commodity in the United States. GEN. 13. F. TRACY. Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy, the new Secretary of the Navy, is about fifty-nine year9 old. He was born in Oswego, N. Y., aDd secured his education in the common school of his native town. After leaving the Oswego Academy he engaged in the study of law until 1851, when he was ad-* mitted to the bar and soon made a mark in his profession. In 1853 he became the Republican candidate for district attorney of Tiago county, and though it was a Democratic stronghold, he was elected. Two years later he was again elected to the same office. He was elected to the Assembly in 1861, and a year later he recruited the One Hundred and Ninth and One Hundred and Thirty-seventh regiments and received his commission as Colonel of the former regiment from Governor Morgan. In the battle of the Wilderness, May G, Col. Tracy led in the thickest of the fight. Hewascarried from the field exhausted, but refused to go to a hospital, but led his command through the three day's fight atSpottsylvania, when, being completely broken down, he was forced to turn over his command to his junior officer. He subsequently was tendered and accepted the command of the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh United States colored troops. After the war General Tracy settled in New York and resumed the practice of the law. He was one of the counsel for the defense in the celebrated Beecher trial. In 1866 General Tracy was made United States district attorney for the eastern district of New York, which position he held until 1873, when he was forced to resign because ol the growth of his private practice. In 1881 he was appointed Judge of At- ? ^ n ri/1 OAffTrtr? Ann ITAO M wit: cuun ui ttjjjjcuin auu oci <ju<= GEN. ,T. W. NOBLE. Gen. John W. Noble, the new Secretary of the Interior, was born in Lancaster, Ohio, October 20, 1831. He passed his early days in Columbus and Cincinnati, where he enjoyed good educational advantages. lie attended Miami University and afterward Yale College, graduating from that institution in 1851. Upon his graduation he studied law, and settled first in St. Louis in 1855. Not meeting with the success in the practice of the law that he expected, he removed the following year to Keokuk, Iowa, where he became prominent at the bar. At the breaking out of the war he enlist ed as a private in the 3rd Iowa cavalry. This regiment was actively engaged from the beginning to the close of the war, and distinguished itself in many battles, and Mr. Noble was steadily promoted until he became colonel. He was at the battle of Pea Ridge, was present at the surrender of Vicksburg, and took part in the cavalry raid into Alabamaand Georgia. At the close of the war he was promoted to a brigadier generalship for meritorious services. He was mustered out in 1865. Gen. Noble was married in 1?64. Two children were born of the marriage, neither of whom is A Gnu fUo tiro f ^on MaKIo onftlnH llVlLIg* AIICL 11IC ntti \JIV1I* Aiv/uiu uvkViuu in St. Louis, where he was made United States district attorney by President Johnson. He resigned his position in 1870, and has since been engaged in the private practice of law. Gen. Noble was the particular friend of President Harrison when they were at Miaraa college together. \V. H. H. MILLER. William Henry Harrison Miller is a typical Indiana lawyer of high standing. He lias been a valuable member of General Harrison's law firm in Indianapolis for about ten years, having left a large practice at Fort Wayne, Indiana, to join it. He is a man on whom the incoming president has been accustomed to rely, and is now the new Attorney General. Mr. Miller has never held a prominent public office, and will enter upon an entirely new experience in Washington, but he is a worker, and will soon become master of the business before him. Though he is as little known outside of his State, perhaps, as any of the president's advisers, he will exert a strong, if quiet, and conservative influence. JOHN WANNAMAKER. John Wannamaker the future Postmaster-General, has had a singularly successful career. He is now in his fifty-second yfear, having been born in Philadelphia July 11, 1837. He was not of the fortunate class to whom wealth comes by inheritance. He was, nevertheless, of the lucky few towards whom the tide of fortune seems to flow continuously and who prosper almost without effort. He began early and from his meagre earnings managed always to save something each week, till at the age of twenty-three he had $100 to his credit. A lucky investment in real estate increased this amount to $2,000, thus enabling him to start a clothing store on hi* nu/n account. He soon rose to be one of the leading elothiers in this country, and afterwards gradually converted the business into the dry goods line. Mr. Wannaraaker is a man of very charitable instincts aud dispenses his bounty with a free and unstinted hand. He has established several institutions for the. benefit of the poor in Philadelphia. Although " Mr. Wannamaker has always taken commendable interest in public affairs, he has never held any office. In religious movements Mr. Wannamaker takes a lively interest. He is an active member of a Presbyterian community and often speaks at church gatherings. Besides the interest derived from his vast business, Mr. Wannnmaker owns $3,000,000 worth of real estate. He was an earnest pleader in the cause of protection during the last campaign and contributed largely to the election expenses. j. m. rusk. . Jeremiah McLan Rusk, the new Secretary of the newly created Department of Agriculture, is from Ohio, having been born in Morgan county, in that State in 1830. His early life was spent in farm work, and upon attaining his majority in 1853 he moved to Wisconsin and engaged in agriculture in Vernon county. In 1862, during the war, he entered the Union army and was commissioned Major of the 26th Wisconsin regiment, rose to the rank of Liutenant Colonel and served with General William T. Sherman from the siege of Vicksburg till the close of the war. In 1865 he received the brevet of Brigadier General of Volunteers for meritorious service at the battle of Salkehatchie. Mr. Rusk was elected Bank Comptroller of Wisconsin in 1866, which post he I held tiil 1870 in which year he was Elected a member of Congress by the Republicans. He served three terms and as Chairman of the committee on pensions, performing important services in readjusting the pension rates. In 1882 he was elected Governor of Wisconsin and served three terms. RPH IpS! ^aki POWDER Absolutely Pure. Thin powder never varies. A marvel or purity, itreogthand wholesomeness.

Round Mountain, Tex., March 29,1887, A lady friend of mine has for several years been troubled with bumps and pimples on her face and neck, for which she used various cosmetics in order to remove them and beautify and improve her complexion ; but these local applications were only temporary and left her skin in a worse condition.

TfilSWifcHtia DESCRIPTION. rilHE ORIGINAL PICTURE was painted five years sigo by the great Hungarian artiHt. X MUNKACSY, as the supreme etl'ortof his life and art in dealing with a sacred subject, and is one of the most remarkable and greatest pictures ever painted. It covers about twenty by thirty feet of canvas, the figures all being life size. The scene is early morning in the Praitorium or official residence of the Roman Governor at Jerusalem. The picture is drawn from descriptions given in the New Testament of the appearance and trial of Christ before Pilate. In the centre of the picture is the figure of the Saviour, with His hands bound, erect, composed, gazing steadfastly on the face of Pilate. Around and behind Him crowd the rabble of Jerusalem. In the immediate foreground is a Roman Soldier holding the mob in check with the shaft of his spear. Pontius Pilate sits as the representative of Ciesar on the judgment throne. On the right of Pilate stands Caiaphas, the chief accuser of Christ, with his arm extended towards the excited populace. The tigure pressing forward in the crowd with uplifted arms is a ruffian of the lowest type. He is shouting "Crucify Him! Crucifv Him!" On the left of Pilate sit two elders. Between Christ and Caiaphas, sitting on a bench, is a rich banker looking on with contemptuous curiosity. Nea jim is a young rowdy leaning over th$ railing and scoffing in the face of Johus. Perched on h. high stool by the side"of the judgment seat and resting his head against the wall is a scribe who views the scene with an air of weary indifference. A knot of old men is seated in an angle of the room to the left of the banker. They are apparently arguing Christ's claim that He is the promised Messiah. Conspicuously raised above the heads of the crowd is seen a young mother with a beautiful face, holding a child in her arms, and looking at Jesus with tendorness and compassion. Through the whole picture are groups of figures and faces reflecting the different emotions that animated each individual. The picture has been on exhibition in the principal cities both in Europe and this country. It has been viewed by dense crowds, Numbering in the aggregate millions of people, and created more of a sensation throughout the civilized world than any other painting ever produced. In the eity of New York it was on exhibition several months and was seen by hundreds of thousands of people. It was recently sold to John Wannamaker, of Philadelphia, who is Postmaster-General in President Harrison's Cabinet, for 8120,000 in cash. MICHAEL VON MUNKACSY, the painter of this wonderful picture,/was born in 1844, in the fortress of Munkacs, Hungary. His first artistic triumph was "The Last Day of a Man Condemned to Death." It created a groat sensation at Paris and won him a medal. This picture was followed by "An Episode of the Hungarian War of 1840;" the "Night Strollers;" the "Pawnbroker's Shop;" and others, all of which created great interest throughout Europe, r.

THE INTENSE INTEREST taken by all classes in this great painting has prompted us to give every one an opportunity of placing a copy in Jieir homes. By the aid of some of the best artists and engravers in the country, a copy has been made which is pronounced by all who have seeu it to be a faithful reproduction in every respect. EXACTLY LIKE TIE OBIfilNAL, IN 20 COLORS. It is in itself a work of high art, and fully worthy of the great original of which it is an exact copy. The skill and delicacy with which it has been executed are wonderful, and all the color values of the artist's masterpiece have been admirably preserved, while the high intent and purpose of the exalted subject have lost nothing in the transference. The picture is of sufficient size to allow ample scope for the display of the salient features of face and form, while the varied expressions of hate, fear, curiosity, compassion and reverence animating the countenances of those assembled aro shown, with a startling tidelity that beggars description. Munkacsy, while preserving a thoroughly reverential tone, has treated Christ and those , about Hitn in a style of unfiinchiug realism such as the world has not been accustomed to see in paintings of a religious cast, and this realism has been maintained in our reproduction ; as the original is instinct with life and inspiration in the highest sense, so is this reproduction, not a jot or tittle of the original painting having been toned down or abated. The Greatest and Most Impressive Picture Ever Painted. WHAT THE CLERGY SAY ABOUT IT. It is wonderful as a work of art, and is worth a thousand sermons as a moral lesson.?[Rev. T. DeWitt Tal mage, D. D. The face of Christ is a stroke of genius.?[Rev. Chas. F. Deems, D. D. It is one of the finest works of modern art.?[Rev. William R. Huntington, D. D. "Christ Before Pilate" is beyond the power of language to describe.?[Rev. J. S. Chadwick. The picture of "Christ Before Pilate" creates a profound impression. It is potent, intense, throbbing with life.?[Rev. Henry J. Van Dyke, D. D. This picture is 21 x 28 inches in size, on heavy plate paper, and is a beautiful work of art aside from its being a copy of so celebrated a painting.
