my subjects. Above all. did he excel In
painting the portraits of the dving. The
agonizing death-throe, the ghastly face and
form, were all depicted with marvelous
fidelity. There existed between these art
ists the most intense dislike. At length
this dislike culminated. The beauty-loving
artist bad been engaged in painting
tho portrait of a beautiluT woman. Con
noisseurs pronounced it the most wonder
ful piece of art that had ever keen proBiio
ed. Ills brother artist waa jealousof his
fame and sought revenge. Jly bribing the
keeper of the studio tie gained access to the
picture each night. - At first he was content
to only deaden ti e brilliancy of the com
plexion and eyes, efface the bloom from
cheek and lip and paint a shadow on either
cheek. Later, his strokes grew bolder and
freer, and one morning the artist awoke to
find the entire outline of the portrait chang
ed. He could scarcely recognize in the
emaciated form and haggard countenance .
the glowing conception lie had embodied.
The pallwl face and expressionless eyes be
had attributed to a lack of srenuiaeneas lu
his materials ; but whan the outlines were
changed he suspected the cause and lndir-
nautiy dismissed the keeper. What tne
revengeful artist marred bv a few rapid
strokes of his skillful brash was only restor
ed , by-years of,patient Industry. Reader,

paints the flowers and "grasiy carpet" -no

The slightest stroke of bis brush upon the
delicate organization leaves an imprint
that requires much skill and patience to
efface. Restoration must be prompt. Care

JKCTAI. 1 REATMENT OF A CBWAXAX.
On Saturday last a CXinaman, In the em
ploy of the O. A C. Railroad, Co., was sent
from the depot with some fresh beef, in
tended for the telegraph repairers, wfcss
were then camped near Tangent, four or
five miles south of this city. When tho "
Chinaman, who waa accompanied by an
other Celestial, also encumbered wlthT t"
pack containing blankets and a pair of
boots, had reached within a mile probably
of bis destination, a tramp, met him, an'
without a word knocked him down aud.
commenced beating him. Eventually tho
assailed Chinaman succeeded in making'
his escane. and arrfted tn eamn wttKnnt
the meat and very badly beaten: HUfaofi'
was mashed to a jelly, and he was so badly '
bruised from kicks about the body that he
had tn h nlsrxwl.An tK. rttMrail Msr 4 . -.
The attendant Chinaman, seeing bow. bad
ly his country man fared in the bands ot the ;
tramp, incontinenuJly threw away his paok'
and fled. When the telegraph boys ra-
paired to the spot indicated by Ue Clna-
, , ..... . .
ond i'laman it is true, hut it was (a sf
woeful fix. Tlie boots had been eat tatst
strips by a sharp knife, and the pack eony
taining the blankats had been run througw .
with 4 sharp knifo, until the bUuket waa aa ;
ull-ot - holes aa a seiva. Such. ontrsrea
should not be permitted to iro trawrAiietfr''
