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 portraits. moment when Alexander Hamilton : 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. X y Mail. A FLAG OF TRUCE. THE PRINTER'S DEVIL. He was a brand new office boy, young, pretty*face, with golden ring lets and blue eyes. Just such a boy as one would imagine would be taken out his little trnndlc*bed in the middieof themgbt transported beyond the stars.

The is above but Gen. Gordon, in an account of the scenes connected with the surrender of Lee's army, gave uu amusing instance of the undress condition in which sol diers in the field sometimes find them selves. Gen. Gordon had determined to send a flag of truce to Gen. Sheri dan, and tor that purpose summoned Maj. 11 utiler, of his staff, and told him to carry a flag of truce forward He replied, ‘General, 1 have no flag of truce.’ The General told him to get one. lie replied, ‘General, we have no flag ot truce in oiu comm And.’ ‘Then take your handkerchief and put it on a slick, and go forward.’ ‘1 have no handkerchief, General.’ ten borrow one, and go forward - *■“ eueral, there is no handkerchief in the staff.’ ‘Then, Major, use your shirt.* ‘You see, umoral, that we all have on flannel shirts.’ At iast a man was found who had a white si.irt, ot which the back and tail w era torn oil, and, rigging that At a hotel in Bordeaux, the garoon, coining into a traveler’s room in the morning asks him if he has slept well. ‘Slept ?

It’s prepos terous.’ ‘Monsieur’ has apparently forgotten the mouse which amused him last uight.’ 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 erally contrived to own a speedy nag or two, which .he used for racing jpnr*. poses whenever he could pick m> a ‘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 ing held, and he entered Pete among 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 the betting ran, and of the folly of owner of the strange entry in backpi^ his ‘plug’ so heavily. Running liiseve over the track, the Judge instant J recognized Pete, and lie said: tQoR- tlemen, tnere’s a dark horse in. this race that will make some of you smell h—before supper.’ The Judge was right.

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.

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 YITG the vital principle of self-government, i through election by the people. • <!-v st The inrtueuse growth of the means .when of corrupt influence over the ballot a ”J. »n<l Lox, by which it is at the disposal ol , a parly having possession of theexeo- j : utive administration, bad already be- ''•'r'Tt come * present evil and great danger r..Km'a : tending to make the elections irro-pon si bio to public opinion—hampering | the power of the |>eople to change their rulers and enabling men hold ing the machinery oi the government to continue and perpetuate their pow er. It was my opinion in 1876, that the opposition, attempting t* change the administration, needed to include at least two thirds of the voters nt the opening of the canvass in order to retain tbe majority at the election. If, Economists and financial writers who are closely watching the balanee oi tradu will be interested in the fact that the exports of merchandise from New Yoikfor the past week, accord ing to llie custom-house records ren dered Tuesday, are the largest by 8800,000 in the history of the port. The exact figures are 810,802,254, against 89,240,630 the previous week, and 6,313,753 for the corresponding week in 1879. Though the great bulk ol the shipments were raw prod ucts,' such as bread stuffs, provisions, cotton, jietrdleum, tobacco, etc., yet an usually large proportion of manu- laclured articles ap|«art> on the list. If the exports keep ou in this ratio for a fqw weeks longer, apprehensions as to gold shipments may be dismissed.

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.’ A traveler from Leadville tells his neighbors in the East bow he had to travel hlty miles in a .stage. When about halt the distance had been trav ersed they stopped at a small place to 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 Stranger, look at me; do you snpposc I am staying ont here for my health?’ she sent word to him, after the king’s doubts had been reported 1 to her, ‘you will see that everything about me is sham, even to the gems that I wear.’ Thereupon Louis visited Marguerite of Bourgogne in her diessing room, and told her what a great artistic treat she had afforded him. - *. 1 On the following day he sent her a, magnificent paritre of precious stones, which she preserved many years.
