The Boston Advertiser says: "The evidences that the tiikf has nearly turned and that we are really entering upon a season of business prosperity, are too numerous and convincing to be longer neglected." These things are proven by "the strong demand, while prices are firmer, Sales are larger than they have been since 1873." "The promise of the future is-all the better when we consider the time at which the improvement begins. It is quite unusual for business to be good in the midst of a great political canvass." "It is decidely likely to be lasting, when we see it occur itf the most un­ favorable season that has been since the depression came upon us.* jfi^There was a gathering the other evening, and a lady, with the desire to chasten the conversation asked a young man if he had never felt a deep and subtle thrill, a fullness of feeling, so to spealc. that reminded him of another life. He said he had once. It was when he was in the country, and the doctor called it cholera mobus, and charged him #4 a visit.

The painting is very large, and the colors are put on In great masses so as to produce strong effects, without t-h1* slightest effort to give an artistic finish and touch. In the rocks there have been raised (wo great beams, to the tops of whieh is secured a cross beam, from which hang Rizpah's two sons, and five other d£ad bodies. These men have not been crucified, but have had their outstretched arms tied at the wrists to the cross beam, and then left to die of exhaustion, agony, heat and cold. Two of the poor wretches, In their agony ef death, have torn one hand loose, and hang suspended by one arm alone, while Rizpah's two sons, who are nearest, hang In all their nakedness, without even the sign of a thread to cover them. Abeve them, as they hang blackening In the fierce heat of the sun, are secured their swords, shields, and other weapons. One of those who have succeeded in tearing one hand loose, has had his side pierced with a spear. In front of these bodies, on the rocks at the base, stands Rizpah. clothed In a bright yellow dress, w^b sandals on her feet, the left arm raised straight above her head* while in the right hand, drawn back in the act of throwing at a great vulture that has come to feast on the bodies, is a long stick. On her faje is the en­ ergy and desperation of despair. Fly- iug out behind her, as blown by »' strong wiyd, is a heavy datk garment of purpfishJBlue. The story Is to b$ found" I u II Samuel, 8--11, In the Acfttrian collection, in Memo* rial Hall, there is a hi very keenly. The figure ts that of ftill sized negro man, who stands with outstretohed, raised arms, holding lis one baud a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation, while on the wrist of ther other hand is a part of broken manacle* with a single link of a chain.. At hi» feet lies the balance of the manacle and chain. The body is perfectly nude, with the exception of a breech clothr and his face is raised upward with % look of joy and thanksgiving, as the realization that he is free bursts upon." him, that exceeds all description. The whole story is portrayed in this figure- with a vividness that I have never be* fore seen. , A GOOD STORY.--Bishop Sfaven's ap­ pearance as presiding officer at the; fifty-second session of the Pittsburg ' Conference of the Methodist Episco­ pal Church brought the followingstory to the recolletion of the correspondent of the Pittsburgh Cnronicle: uDr. Newhall, the President of Delaware College, and a personal friend of Bish­ op Haven, was very sick. The disease filled the poor man's mind with all sorts of vagaries. For many days he thought himself immortal, and refused to eat anything whatever. The Bishop hap­ pened to visit him during this time, and tried to prevail upon his sick friend to take nourishment. "No; I do not want anything,' said he. *1 am im­ mortal. I am in heaven. This is hea­ ven.' then pausing for a moment and looking at his visitor with a troubled air, he said "But, Haven, how in the world did you get here? You are the last person I expected to see In this place.*1 I^TSitting Bull seems to have as many lives as the storied cat He has bee* reported dead three or four times, but he is by a morning telegram announced at the head of his forces and said to have crossed the Missouri about thirty miles below Fort Peck. Better yet, the dispatch says Gen. Terry haa ordered cavelry and infantry in pursuit under Major Reno and Col. Moore. It is possible therefore the Indian cham­ paign Is not over /or this season. MT Mr. Buckle says that history repeats itself. We presume he refers to the fact that the Jews were directed t® make glad the waist places, and that the same pleasing custom of doing It with the left arm on the front stoop evenings, after the old gentleman haa gone to the lodge, is popular BOW.
