A WORK OF ART. WE HAVE before us a pic- ture which represents a group of distinguished person- ages, among whom we note the smiling countenances of our whilom friends, the twin pea- nuts of politics, Cleveland and Hill, It is an extremely inter- esting picture so far as Cleve- land and Hill are concerned when looked at from a strictly sartorial point of view, inas- much as their trousers sag in such a way as to give the im- pression that they were made to turn up at the bottoms, or to be worn with suspenders. Another point of view is that they are trying to wear the trousers of larger men than themselves, with nothing ap- proaching substantial success. ‘They look like a couple of can- celed postage-stamps trying to be Rembrandt etchings at a Sunday-school picnic. Perhaps they are wearing the trousers of Webster and Clay, in which case the disparity is quite as Apparent as glaring. It can be seen at a glance by the merest layman that, while the trousers might be cut down to fit the wearers, the wearers could never be builded up to fit the A CONSIDERATION. mament are actually those of the great men of whom the said Castor and Pollux are anything but reincarnations. As these men make a specialty of biting off more than they can chew, it is quite natural that they should put on more trousers than they can wear. Their ex- pressions of conscious pride and happiness in the picture show that they are at peace not only with themselves, but with mankind in general, and also that they are not aware of their prodigality of trousers and their poverty of legs. It is our devout and earnest wish that they may always feel that chaste thrill of happiness which is indicated and set forth by the smiles that illuminate and drip from their countenances, which, printed in any maga- zine, should put a high pre- mium on any efforts they might offer as testimonial breakfast- food or dog-soap writers in connection with the same.
