Tux portrait of Leo Hartmann, tue Nihilist which is reproduced in the Canadian /ilus- trated News, indicstes determination and even fanatic stubborness. He is more fair than dark. The hair is cropped short, and the beard cut ratherclove, ‘The forehead is bread aad full, the eye-brows well-marked, the features well shaped, and the eyes clear and steady. Though not remarkably stout, he is evidently a man of considerable personal strength. He is neatly, even tastefully dressed. His recerd -naturally inclines us to find something sinister in his expression, but probably if we met him ina crewd, we would take him for nothing more than a respectable business man of more than ordinary intelli- gence and thoughtfulness. He also gives the notion ef ene accustomed to exercise authority

Avcouwot mv Water.—Seme months back a M. Muntz proved that alcohol in very small quantity could be detected im substances by means of a chemical reaction, whieh changes it into iodeform. Having once discevered a means ef determining the minutest traces of alcohol, M. Muntz was not long in demor- strating that it exists in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the ground we calti- vate. Of course the aciual quantity of alco hol present is very minute, but the existence ef it under such circumstances proves that spirit is net alone p roduced by the art ox man, as some lecturers would have us believe, but is one of the transformation products of cer- tain types ef orgavic matter, when splitting up under the intlueace of ferments or cell life generally.

Tue latest works of Mr. Robert Harris are the portraits of two of the children of a New York gentleman. As likenesses the pictures are, we understan«, excellent, and as works of art, they are inco.aparably beyond anything ever executed in this province. We question, indeed, whether two such exqiui. itely tinished and life-like por‘raits were ever before painted in Canada. Mr. Harris’s reputation as an artist has grown vecy rapidly of late years. He was buried on the Island, but when he re- moved to Toronto his ability was at once re- cognised, and a high p'ace among the painters of the Dominion was immediat-ly assigned him, We are quite satisfied that he has not yet raached the positiou in the world of art that he deserv«s ty» oceupy, aud that when he comes to work in # wider sphere and among competitors more worthy of bim. he will he considered the equal of artists whe have won a European reputation. —Putriot.

Tux Lvona Mrve. ~The Gothie City Drion of the 26th inst eays: On Saturday last quite an excitement was munifested in this city over another strike in the Luona. Four men had been eet to vork in a mew place, ata dis- tance of about 59 feet north of the main tua- nel. At that place on evidently the outcropping of a vein, but no one, until re- centl reopened to pay much attention. On Tuesday morning Mr. Fletcher ordered the foremen to set four men to dig there until Saturday night, and if notuins were found by that time, to di charge the men. On Saturday morping a perfect vein, about five or six feet wide, was reached, which was literally filled with white spar, carrylog native aud wire silver and silver glance. The vein is pronounced to be even richer than the ene now worked upon, and quite a number of sacks of ore have been taken from it. A tun- nel of the vein will be begun at once and work driven on it day and night. No. | tun- nel continues to do well, but it is generally believed that No. 2 will exceed it in richness. From present indications, it is likely to run the full length of the claim. This ** strike makes the Luons doubly valuable, and stock ought now to double itself. The managers are consequently happy-

New Yorks, Ang. 28. It is reported that Col. Corkhill, District Aitorney of the D.strict of Columbia, left Philadelphia suddenly to-day upon the report that an organization of citizens in Washington are determined to take Guitean from the jail, hang him, and riddle h‘s body with bullets. WasHinoron, Aug. 29. Official bulletir, 8.30.—The President’s symptoms this morning are as favorable as yesterday at the same hour. He slept— awakening at intervals—the greater part of the night. At these intervals he took and retained liquid nourishment adw inis- tered. His mind ernt*nues perfectly clear. Pose 100; temperature 98 5.10; respira- tlGks a New York, Aug. 29. People as they proceeded to their busi- ness this morning gave unmistikable signs | of more cheer‘ulness at the favorable character of the bulletins from Washing- ton. Unofficial Bulletin, Executive Mansion, 6.30 p. m.—Dr. Bliss reports at this hour that the result of the evening examination is highly satisfactory. The febrile rise did not begin until about a quarter past four this afternoon, and, although the tempera- ture and pulse are a little higher than last oight—the former being 100 and the latter 110—the fact is accounted for by the pres- ence of a considerable accumulacien of pus in the glandular swelling, which was re- moved at the evening dressing. The gland looks much better to-night than at any; time since it became a dangerous feature of the case. The wound is also doing ex- tremely well. The process of granulation having recommenced, the patient’s general condition is still further improved. Dr. Baxter is reported to have said to a friend this afternoon that if the President’s stomach holds out and if he is properly cared for he will probably recover.
Executive Mansion, 8.15 p. m.—The evening bulletin is generally accepted here as a confirmation of the hopes of the day. The patient’s fever, which was a little higher to-night than last night, has begen | to subside, and all lis symptoms continue to be satisfactory. Dr. Agnew, as he left the mansion to night, was asked what he thought of the bulletin. ‘'I think,” he
