t THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY", APRIL 18, 186G. GREAT SALE OF PAINTINGS. Tliendmirers of Ibe Floe Arts will be gratified o know that tho second large ealo of Paintings by AI-. A. 8. Robinson, No. 610 ( hesnnt St., commences tlili evening, at 7 V M. The sale will bo conducted by I). Scott, Jr., wbo It to well known is an auctioneer that It is scarcely nocossary to say a word In his praise. Mr. Scott has entered Into the bus-noss of selling works of high art with spirit and emrgy His efforts in this direction ara tending towards an intelligent appriciation ot the higher styles of ' fart, and II his a!os are continued, will doubtless eventu ate in much good. tor. Robinson's catalogue embraces one hundred and eighty-one pictures Irom tho easels of the b?nt Dative and loroign artists It Is. observable that most of tho pie' urcs on exhibition are of small stzo, which in our opinion Is a hoprtui sign. In the pnrt. picture buyers were In the habit of puchadng ao cording to tb'i square fret and inches of the canvas but a better feeling in this respect is paining ground, and delicacy und artistic skill is the meritorious it at ure. It would bo impossible in one article to call atten tion to all the gems ot this large collection. We must content oursolvcs by simply suggesting; a low, in order to call public notice to the merits ot lho whole. We take the catalogue at random, not even piofessing to say which particular work bears the palm. The Huntsman," by Litschauer, of Berlin, is a picturo that cannot fail to be adimroa. An old hunter is surrounded by his dos, and winle he enjoys bis plpo, is pouring something Into tho mouth ol one of them, that is very suggestive ot' a medicinal operation. It is one ol thoe quiot seems that haro an inexplicable attraction, ana tho more ono looks at it the more appiront lis beauties become. "The Mother s Joy," by Malicn, of i'aris, whothor coutldorrd as regards its inech mica' execution or its suggestions, wi 1 be pronounce ! admirable bv all who cau appreciate art. It is Blindly a young mother fondling her babe; but tho attitudes are so graceful, and the coloring to delicate, that tew will pass it by without a carelul inspection. K I). Lewis, tho moet popular, if not the most talented, of our riilladolplua landscape artists, has an autumnal scene on Lane Uooive, which shows his wonderful ability in reproducing upon canvas the vanolles of foliage in their decay. The coloring in this piece is peculiarly rich, and, In our opinio will add greutly to the rapidly rising lame of the artist. The remarkably small specimen of Fiohel, of I'aris, entitled "The smokers," will perhaps be overlooked by many, but a closo inspection will prove that it is a real gem. Four figures are clus tered around a table, witti pipes, and glasses in their hai. ds, and all the accessories betokening that they are en.ioving the good tilings of 1110. Tho posi tions ot Lite parties engaged in tho scene are so per fect that the picture almost speaks. . The head of tho old man in the background can scarcely be sur passed, and the quiet rein oi humor that pervades it is one ot its most Binkmg features. "The Little Coquetie," by JHyer Von Bremen, Is also worthy of notice. A little girl is adjusting her toilet before a mirror, and has all the airs and graces of an accomplished belle. The story is well told, and conveys a lesson. A very fine landscape, by Schultzo, ot Dussoldorf, ii a noticeable picture. The scene is "Lake La zerno," and the lights and shades are admirably managed. "The Bird Catchers," by Von Soben, of Borlin, represents four joyous children bidden bohind some growing wheat attempting to entice some birds into their toils. Laurent De Buol exhibits a very fine cattle pioco, one of bis very best specimens. It is impossible to do more than suggest the beau ties of the collection. We can only say that all who are interested in art Bhould attend the sale this even ing. About one-half ol the pictures will be disposed of to-night, and the remainder to-morrow night. Sale of Splkndid Statu art. On next Friday morning Messrs. Viti Brothers will expose tor sale at the Art Gallery ot B. Scott, Jr., No. HQO Cbcuut street, one ot tho finest collections of statuary in Carraia marble that has ever been exhibited in this country. The selection consists ot parlor and garden figures, appropriate monumental designs, Vases, and other articles adapted to a rofinod taste. This morning we carefully inspected the articles and they are certainly perfect of their kind. Among the gems we observed a very beautiful "Greek Slave" (aftor Towers), a bust of "Eve," a small figure of "Innocence," Carusi's "Fidelity," and a large group entitled "Past and Future." All of those are admi rable specimens of art, new in this country, and worthy ot the inspection of all interested m matter . oi taste. The monumental figures are equally fine. Tber-j is a magnificont ligaro of the "Angel of the Kesur rection," whloh has attracted universal attention as has also that of the' Immaculate Conception, "one of those delicate ideas that Immortalize an artist. In tho department of ornamental garden statuary iho collection is more than ordinarily rich. "The Roman Gladiators" is a study, and no one should miss a view of it. In addition to those attractions there are a large number of splendidly artistic statuosques in ala baster, stone, etc. etc., undoubtedly directly im ported from Italy, the home of the arts. The pre sent sale is one of those occasions not often offered, when connoisseurs can secure articles of virtu at reasonable cost. It is worthy of remark that the taste for art in all its departments is increasing in this country. Immonse numbers ot persons are de voting their attention and means to theso things who have but recently acquired a love for such luxu ries. Much of this education is due to the fact that art sales have becomo more common of late years, and It is to be hoped that tliey will continue. A Strange Murder Story from Nevada. The Virginia City (Nevada) EiUirprisi; of Feb ruary 12, has an account ol a terrible hand-to-hand conflict between one Tom Peasly, a native ot New York, and Mart Bamhart, ol Indiana, which occurred in Carson City, the capital of thebtate. It appears by the testimony of by standers that liaruhart, who had an old grie vance against Peasly. went up to him us he sat by the stave ot the hotel bar-room and said: "Why didn't you right mo laHt year at the Glenbrook House?" Pewly hesitated a moment and then replied: "I don't know; ate you always on the tight?" Burnhart, assuming an erect position, said: "Yes," and drawing his revolver, levelled it at Peasly, who moved his head to one side very quickly, and exclaimed: "You don't want to murder me, do you ?" The response was a bullet through the breast. As Peasly rose he received a second ball; but clinching his arm to his breast he sprung for ward, seizing his opponent by the knees, who, In the meanwhile, pounded him with the buu of his pistol. A desperate truiriile ensued, which was finally transferred to tho ad.jaeent room. Here the two were separated, I'oasly being nearly dead with loss of. blood, having; been shot twice, while his brain reeled from the blows on his head. Presently the wounded man fceenied to regain his fetrenetti. Rwiug to his feet, he suddenly turned on Barnhart and dis charged several shots from a revolver that had hitherto been concealed. Both men then fell irasninir. They died in a lew minutes. The origin of the quarrel is supposed to have been a dill'erence of opinion In regard to a local ques tion which came up beibie tho recent State Legislature. .

So much the better, for. with two exceptions, the dramatis personir of Dickens were not to be recognized by the remo est resemblance with those with whom we are so familiar in the book.
