sess a peculiar attraction. They are strong and powerful in expression, with delicacy and fineness of execution, but often coarseness of subject. They don’t seem to select the pretty part of many to embody into one, as do the Italians, but take one and paint it finely, whether pleasing or ugly. The smaller Dutch pictures have a tineness of finish which I have not as yet seen excelled in any modern work. The'colleetion of modern

Dresden, J one 27,1881.

Dresden is a pretty city, fnll of interesting objects, and bristling with historical incidents. Its foreign appearance, good music, line galleries and cheap living attract Americans and English in great number. Now two of Oie prettiest parts of the city bear the names of American and English quarters. The place has a beautiful situation in the valley of the Elbe, with the river running directly through and cutting it in two parts. Gradually sloping hills ascend from the outskirts, from whose tops are charming views of the nestling city, is not a business place, hut has remarkably small stores, which seem to supply only the wants of the inhabitants. Each store, as a rule, sells hut one class of ware). One will make a business of silks, another of lawns, and yet another of linens, and so on. The streets are laid out in miscellaneous confusion, forming a puzzle for the amusement of Americans, accustomed to right-angled crossings. Distance is reckoned only by time. How far is it to the depot, would be answered at home by telling the number of squares, here so many minutes form the reply. However, those streets are well paved, are kept remarkably clean, and attract the American eyes, in order to watch the working dogs, and women. The latter carry enormous baskets on their hack, filled with everything imaginable. They carry up coal, sell vegetables, and help the poor dogs pull heavy wagons. They have muscalar frames, with weatherbeaten, care-worn faces, and excite universal sympathy. The dogs vie with the women to see which can work the harder. With their tongues lolling out of their mouths, they tug away at loads which would tire a horse. If I was a peasant woman or a dog nothing could prevent me from hasty emigration. To an American, to whom a soldier is somewhat of a curiosity, these streets are strange, on account of the fact that abeut

item of the occasion was the sumptuous dinner, spread under a good cool shade tree in the front yard. This was the eighty-first birthday of our venerable aunt, and she is the last of a large number of brothers and sisters now left on the stage of action. Her nephew, O. P. Badger, and his very excellent wife were on hand, and the Elder stood at the head of the long table, spread with all the good things of the season, and in a short but impressive thanksgiving, prepared

time, bnt received a£ stroke of paralysis on the 5th of July, which was probably the immediate cause of her death. She was married to Richard Biddle October 30, 1827, in Bourbon County, Ky., and three years later came to Indiana, landing in Greeneastle Apyil 12, 1831. During the same year they bought a farm, then a dense forest of heavy timber, and built the house in which they lived and toiled for filty years, and from which she took her flight to her brighter home above, where her husband will

join her by and by.

At the early ego of fourteen, at a camp meeting in Kentucky, she was united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she has been a worthy and

faithful member ever since.

During these fifty-four years, while the husband and father has been felling the trees and opening the farm with his strong hands, she stood by his side with a strong heart, a full share of his toils and sacrifices, and joys and sorrows. A

Hay harvest is the order of the day. ....The grub worm is working the upland corn pretty thoroughly in this vicinity, ami farmers are somewhat discouraged. They estimate about half a

mother; while one son and three daughters greet her in the land that hath no

Mother Biddle was a quiet, patient, courageous Christian, always feeling more in her heart than was outwardly manifested, and ever tender in her sympathies for the poor and needy and

helpless.

We thank God for such wives and mothers, and pray that while they are gone from among us, their counsel and influence may abide with us as an incitement to pure and noble lives. We are well assured from her lifej that she has entered the home of the b'.est. The funeral took place from the obi homestead near New Maysville, Jack son township, July 13th, attended by Rav. W. A. Smith and Prof. McNutt.

After the hunger of all hands had been fully satisfied, Col, C. C.

So that the entire offspring of this good woman are, and have been, living and dead, 131 souls. A chain was exhibited which was known to have been in use 72 years, and belonged to the mother of Aunt Polly, in the State of Kentucky. May she live long, to enjoy this returning season of joy and festivity, for she is worthy. Tbe eldost of the groat grand-children was on hand, a bright and beautiful girl from

Iowa, of some 18 summers.

But for the intense heat the crowd no doubt would would have been very much more numerous. But the occasion was one long to be remembered. Mrs. Jane Frakes, an old neighbor, and her son Charley, were also in attendance, and Mrs. Jas. Leachman. In the veins of all the rest the ancestral blood runs, either by birth or by marriage.
