For the City that's six feel under them raid.,

oi reaenmsr down to his shoes, lie had on no socks, and had worn out his breeches, as he said, by a settin on logs in the punken patch.' His hair looks as if attempts had been made to spin it at several places,

but one suspender of dressed buckskin, over a shirt that in days of yore might have been of some light color.

Waslibourne asked him if ho would'nl like to have his portrait painted. 'I dunno what a portrait is strainger!'

A likeness,—that's a portrait hangingthere.' 'Oh, a picteryou mean. Do folks pay you to make picters.for 'em, or do you make 'em for fun?' 'They pay me a little.' 'Stranger, that arpicter is alookin' right strait at me wherever I git. How on the veth do you make their eyes woll so?'

IL is very ea-ily done.' 'Stranger do you reckon you could 6x my picter so it would look right at a body jest like that one?' 'Oh, very easily.' 'Stranger, I'm a ridin' tho old roan mare's filly, and she's a mighty skeerv nag, and them ar picters would be mighty onhandy to pack, 'socially on a wild nag, and daddy gin me a bit to buy a new look-in'-glass, and I've got to pack it home don't you reckon you'll be over on War Eagle some of these times, stranger?' 'I don't know do you think I could get any painting over there?' 'I'm bound you'd get lots of it—Squire

Henderson, and Pete Ball, and Rueben Slater, and everybody clean down on the creek to Main White River. Stranger, can you paint a gal lookin' right at a feller?' 'Just as easily as I can a man.' 'Well, I'll git you to paint Becky Boyd's picter a looking right at me, and then you must picter me a lookin right at Beck, and I'll fix the picturs so they'll look right smack at one another. Beck'll like it fust rate! Stranger, could you make a pictur of a man and woman huggin?' 'Yes I can paint them doing almost anything.' '1 mout a knowed that. Daddy was a telling how he seed a feller, in Van Buren, a makin picters on pure silver. That was how daddy came to break the lookin glass. He axed the feller how he made the picters, and the feller said he polished the silver til! it looked like a lookin glass. Daddv said the feller had a mortal big razor strop as long as a man's arm, and the feller rubbed it across the pure silver jest like he was a sawin oft' the end of a log and daddy sed lie seed a man set down and look right at the pure silver, and he had'nt sot a minit when the feller jerked up the pure silver and run behind apiece of cloth hung up, and when he was behind thar daddy axed him what he was doin, and the feller told him he was smokin the picter to make it slick. Daddy axed him if smoken made it stick, and the feller told him yes. Then when my daddy come home he took his shaven glass, and said he was a gwine to make a picter like the feller in Van Buren made 'em. lie said thar was no sense in gwine to

A brick flew from his hand and skimmed through the misty air—there was a jingle of broken glass—a cry in feminine Dutch— and—all was silent.

Still wanders in dark midnights the spectral form of Hans von Rosenbaum around that dwelling, still rings from the window the ghostly cry of "nix komm heraus," still wings its way on the night wind a phantom brickbat, and still the benighted traveler hears at last a dismal trail in Dutch. All things in heaven and on earth are re-echoed or reflected in their ghosts or in their shadows.

Great Steamship.—The Himalaya

is the largest ocean steamship in the world. The Himalaya is 3,550 tons Register, equal to over 4,000 tons burden, and i. of the extraordinary length of 372 feet 9 inches. The length of the keel is 311 feet, breadth for tonage, 4G feet 6 inches depth of hole, 24 feet 9 inches. These proportions, when contrasted with the dimensions of other ships, give a great advantage, particularly in length, to the Himalaya for 131 guns, although of greater beam and depth, is inferior in length by 72 feet into Himalaya. The screw steamer Great Britain is 335 feet long, or 40 feet shorter than the Himalaya, while the American clipper ship Great Republic, recently destroyed by fire in New York, was only 325 feet long, or of 47 feet less length than in the Himalaya. Although the Himalaya exceeds in so large a degree the length of the Duke of Wellington, yet she is inferior in tonnage to that ship, the Duke being 3,759,4'M tons, or about 209 tons larger than the Himalaya. The superior burden of the Duke of Wellington is produced by herenormousbreadth of beam, which is CO feet, and her depth, which is 57 feet forward, and 65 feet aft, these qualities being indispensable in ships of war, to enable them to carry their heavy armament of artillery with the requisite supplies of amunition, stores, fec. The Himalaya is built of iron.—London Globe.
