soon after the dose of the Revolution.
Having won money on n wiigor, iio de?
cided to use the sum for n picture of (

the course of time the picture -was fin?
ished, with the exception of a back- !
ground, wblcli the painter had reserv?
ed for a picture of a ship representing
the hearing to America of the news of
the recognition of the United Slates of
America. The ship was finished, and
nothing remained but to paint a (lag
tit her mast. Watson dined with Cop?

to the speech of the king recognizing

home and painted in the flag while the
words of acknowledgment were still
wann from the lips of the king. Ho

The rice I hat e.mie-t on the American

tlmes due to the cooking) Is usually
explained by (be statement that our

is no better rice in the world than our

nre largo, firm and nutty. The fact ',h,
our public won't buy any rice unless
