It represents a champagne bottle, a wine glass, a half smoked cigar and a newspaper. The: latter is an Elgin journal, and the: wine bottle suggestively hides the flret two letters of the word Elgin in tlu^ paper's heading. A rich sectiou o| curtain helps make up the background The colors and prop »rtious of I lie pic­ ture are excellent, but the charm of the work is in its simplicity and nat­ uralness. The airti3t is Earl Mead, a 16 year-old-boy of McHenry. whose only schooling in art has been tliiee weeks of Instruction under Mr. Keiiucy, of' our city.

He Is 10 years old this spring and we!ghs about 1.000 pounds. A party from Ohio, and a man who has made the Morgan horse n studs* for years, recently visited ^lie stables of Mr, Colby, and after examining his pedigree unhesitatingly pronounced him the best bred Morgan ItorSe In the United States. Mr. Colby is almost weekly receiving letters from' Ohio, Indiana, and other parts of the United States, making inquiries about this horse, the horsemen seemingly having again become interested in the pure bred Morgans, and are anxious to Hud out when* the best ones are. Two colts sired by this horse, owned by James Saylrtr. were recently sold to parties In Indiana, one teu mouths old for 9100 and one coming five years old for (500. We ucxt saw a seven months old eolfc sirpil by Green Mountain, dam the full blood Morgan mare Flora, and no des­ cription we can irive of him will do him justice. Foar a seven months old colt, that never saw a summer, he is simply perfection, and must he seen to lie appreciated. We also saw a flue two year old of the same breed, that would weigh about 1.000 pounds, and bids fair when fully developed to make a good 1200 horse. Taking Mr. Colby's horses all to­ gether it will well repay any man to make a visit to his stables.
