A HISTORICAL PICTURE.
The McCann collection of paintings,
al 807 Market street, has been ens
rictu d by the addition of a large and
important picture by D. M. Carter, of
New York. This picture was painted
to order, and the artist is said to have
received 810,000 for it. It was fin*
ished in Paris in 1861. The subject
is Lad v Washington’s reception at the
New York City Hail in 1787. There

presenting Miss Melvor, a fashionable
itelle ot the day, to Mrs. Washington.
Miss Melvor bows, but with true fern*
inine curiosity flashes a furtive glance
over Mrs. Washington’s costume. To
the right of Mrs. Washington sits
Mrs. Livingstone, to the left Mrs.
Hubert Alorris. General Washington
stands close by with one arm thrown
around his little step-son, George
Washington Custi*, whose lovely
young sister stands at Iter mother’s
right Among the other historical
personages present are Chief Justice
Marshall, General Knox, General
Jackson, ‘Mad’ AnthonJ Wayne, Is
rael Putnam, Gilbert Stuart, John
Hancock and General Greene. The
white silk d ess of Mrs. Washington
is an exquisite bit of drapery paint
ing, and the rumples iu the carpet are
reimukuhly well done. Confim^I ns
the artist has been to the production
yf a portrait gallery rather than a
work of art he has done well. The
picture was brought here chiefly as an
additional attraction lo the collection,
but is for sale if a fair price is offered.

Gen. Gordon, in an account of the
scenes connected with the surrender of

of the undress condition in which sol

to send a flag of truce to Gen. Sheri

Maj. 11 utiler, of his staff, and told him
to carry a flag of truce forward He
replied, ‘General, 1 have no flag of

THE DARK HORSE.
One of the readers recently asked
through the columns of the Richmond
Dispatch the origin of the phrase ‘the
dark horse.’ The Cincinnati Enquirer
says it originated as follows:
Once upon a time there . lived • in
Tennessee an old ebap named Bam
Flynn, who traded in horses and-gen

‘soft match’ during his travels. The.
best of his flyers was a coal black
stallion named Dusky Pete, who was
it to give the impression that the an.*,
where a country race-meeting was be

the contestants. The people of the
town, not knowing anything of his
antecedents, and not being over' im
pressed by his appearance,, backed
two or three local favorites. heavily
against him. Flynn moved quieUy
among the crowd, and took all the
bets offered against his nag. Just as
the ‘flyers’ were being saddled for the
race eld Judge McMiuaiuee,jwho was
the turf oracle of that part of the
State, arrived on the course, and was
made one of the judges. As he took
his place in the stand he was told 1 bow

over the track, the Judge instant J

right. Pete, the ‘dark horse,’ li J

If summoned by the saffrages of
my countrymen to attempt this work,
I shall endeavor, with God’s help, to
be an efficient instrument of tlieir
will.
Such a work ot renovation, after

of systems aud jiolicies, to which i
would cheerfully have sacrificed all
that remained to me of health and life,

pers, a prelext was made for the j>er-
ien-1 petration of a false count, imd the
inslitntional duty of the two House*
mi , of Congress to count the electoral
i votes as cast, and give the effect to
£ the will of the people as expressed by
their suffrages, was never fulfilled.
An electoral commission, lor the
existence of which 1 have no respon*
-ibility, was formed, and to it both
1 louses ot Congress abdicated their
duty to make a count, by a law enact
ing that the count of the commission
shall stand as final, unless overruled
hr the concurrent action of the two
Houses.
Its false count was not overruled,
owing to the complicity ot a Republi
can Senate with a Republican majori
ty of the commission, controlled by its
j Republican majority of eight to seven.
The electoral commission counted out
a.i’d.y of', 'r-e» elected by the people, and coun
ted in men not elected by the people.
That subveision of tho election
created a new issue for the deci-on
of the people ot the United States,
, :; oM. transcending in im|K>rtance all ques-
— tions of administration. It involved

The exact figures are 810,802,254,

Dob Cameron’s independence, or
whatever it may lie called, at the head
ot the National Execative Committee,
reminds an exchange of a little story
about r certain ex-Mayor of Worces
ter, Mass , who ruled for a term dur
ing tho present century. One night,
while presiding al a meeting of the
Boar t ot Aldermen, a motion of some
sort was made and to this an amend"
meat was offered. The Major disre
garded tho amendment and put the
motion to tho board ‘Why, Mr.
Mayor,’ exclaimed a startled alder
mar., ‘there is an amendment. Why
don’t you put that first ?’*The Mayor
replied with a guileless smile : ‘Why,
liecauss I like the motion a great deal
belter.’

about halt the distance had been trav

cliauge horses. While they were
changing, the passengers improved
the o|.|M)rtnnity to take a lunch. They
stepped up to the counter ot the little
restaurant and each took a piece of pie
and a cup of coffee. When they had
finished the lunch they asked the
price. The man in attendance said
One piece of pie, fifty cents, one cup
of coffee, twenty-five cents—seventy-
five cents each.’ One of the party
grumbled a little about the price,
whereupon the old man behind the
eounter straightened up, folded his
arms in a dignified manner, and said
