Tben, Klihu Yeddcr was born In the city of New York, February 26, 1RTA Very little is written of his early boyhool, scrnn to hnve been patsed lu an niieveutful nijiimer. He early displayed a talent for drawing, umi'h. to his father's disgust, for he.

like tunny other practical-niluded men of his day, looked upon artltU aud musicians as vagabond in the truest sense. "No urtlit iu my family," he is reported to h.ive said. And he dljcmmtenauced his ImT's efforts at desiring hiui to follow "a business carver." The ekler Ved-der was a dentist, and rather than see hie S'Ui un artist he threatened to cut biui off tvitboitt a penny uld he persist In pur-s'llng a profession he much dienpvroved of. While Kllhtt wa voung bis father, who was descended of an old Holland family, sent iiiiu to Bi'iakerHotl School In Brooklyu. There the Dutch lanpiago was tai.ght and th traditions of Holland, preserved tn the youthful mind.

But nre not told that the boy Ellhu distinguished1 himself In the c3iOol by hi aplncs In learning. Indeed, It la aaid that he spent too mujh of h1 time drasing cnide picture on his slate, on the walls of bulld-Inss and' on fences. He would chew tho ends of sticks till they formed brushes, ami with thorn he would lay on crude colors bought nt cheep hopsy At 12 year of be palntl some vefy realistic fuit pieces. After tbe still llfo he attempted nninial life tho cat, the clog and the horse beloiuslng to hi own family. These ling pniised by reveral of his friends, the little arlM went further and drew tbe ftg-nros of people.

Bnt hi progress was sorely hampered by the continued disapproval of his father, who fefused him any sort of encouragement, even denying him the Utile pocket money necessary for tbe purchase of simple art But Ellbu persisted, and after some time hi fatiher irolented, consented to pay for his son's "quarter's lessons" in drawing. The eager learner profited greatly by this term of study, though It was abort. He continued his study In Blierburne, Chenan go county, N. where Ills father toon movd, under the direction of Tompkins Matteson, a very well known painter of that time. When Ellhu was 1(1 hla mother died, and, according to one biographer, "hla father was selr.ed with a desire for travel, and removed to Cuba." But Ellhu refused to accompany hi prent to the faraway Island, and remained 1n New York, where he earned a precarious living.

In 1M6 he managed somehow to get to Paris, and spent tho winter studying under Plcoi. We are not told how he mannged to live, Whether working his way, or having a competence from bis father. But he went to Italy after tho one winter in Paris. For four years he remained In that beloved country, dividing his time between Home, Naples and Florence. Ho doubtless would have remained even longer had not the Civil war Ibroken out In his own country.

He returned to America with the fixed intention of enlisting in the army, but wa found to be disqualified on account of an old wound in hi arm, This had happened nre years earlier, a gun having Mr. and Mm.
