LU'Klt.YKY NOTiX Many Christians deeply regret the fact that there is no nutheniio por Iruit of their Muster. Oibers think it better that ll.e world should not knoW the exact liw anients of its Redeemer, li is certain that this lack of a recognized likeness has given op portunity for the higli-st ai tistie, gen iuses to portray their conception of his appearance. Bot the. personality of the pointers, necessarily obtruding itself even into their ideal Chi ists, de stroys the value of these pictures for many people. It would seem, How ever, from Mr. N. II. Ingrsoll's arti cle iu the M:iy Harper's ('-Portraits of the Saviour") lhat there probably was an historic portrait of Jesus known to the early Christians on which the most ancient pictures of him weic based, for they all agree in the principal characteristics, aud point to a commonly received likeness. Beginning with these Mr. Ingersoll traces the history of tlie su1 j-ct down to the present. Among ihu many rare illustrations perhaps-the most cu rious is a copy of the "Emerald Ver niclc ' portrait, which is supposed to be the only true portrait of ihe Sav iour. The original is said to have been carved on an emerald for Tiberi us Ctosur, seized by the Tui ks at the capture i f Constantinople, and after ward returned to Christendom as a gift to Pope Innocent VIII. fiom 'he urki.sh I'jinperor lor the redemption of his captive brother.

These are "Faith,'' by E. Armitage, R. A., and a Head of Christ, by Hugues Merle. The latter combines a wonderful amount of re- finemeuL, gentleness, and strength. he present owner obtained it in an odd way. Late one evening a for eigner brought into a New York art- store a painting which he was very anxious to sell tor cash, being in a n- naucial strait. He would not say where he got it or how. A wealthy gentleman of the city who knew good ncturas happened to be m the store, aud at once saw that it was a treas ure. He bought it for a trifle, and carried it home himself, not daring to eave it over uight. It is regarded au extraordinary gem. Tho Southern Bivouac for May closes the first volume of the new se ries most creditably. The first arti de is an illustrated story by Dan. E O'Sullivan, well told and dramatic in movement and incident. A paper of unusual interest is contributed by James W. A Wright, on prison life at the North, entitled "War Prisons and War Poetry." Miss Rowland's second paper on the "Virginia Cava hers is eveu more interesting thau the first. Col R. T. Duret concludes his papers on the Resolutions of 1798 1(90 with very interesting biograph ical sketch td John Breckinridge, l'hese papers are of unusual value and have attracted much attention. The last is illustrated with a portrait of John Breckinridge and by a picture of his law office. Two poems in the May Bivouac will be widely read One is an illustrated poem by II. C V right, of unusual imaginative force Ihe other is a memorru poem by Maurice Thompson for Decoration Day, simple but striking. The four closiuz lines are as follows: What without love is victory worth? What is defeut if lore be won ? Hearts of the Smth. hearts of the North ill rob louder than the drum or gun. The first year's record of the South em Bivouac shows clearly that the South is able to prod, ice and is will ing liberally to support a represeuta' tive literary magazine. Tears. Idle Tears!
