lt annual fcstlYal this year on Recount of his
death, the newt of which was rtcclrcd only two
days before the festival was to have taken place,
and after all tbe arrangements bad been wade.
The black flag was run up, and the club woiit
Into mourning for eight dajs. The journals of
Daneliiort 'and other German cities apeak of the
death of tbe artist with rrgret.ln long biographi
cal and obituary notice.
Mr. Coumant Meyer li painting a large figure
Composition of a Sunday School room. The
figures are life-size, and the artist hai endea
vored to treat tbe subject in a ilmple bnt im
pressive style. A lady dressed In black, and
with an expression of gentle tadnes on her
countenance, is teashlng a little girl of humble
appearance, while In the background other
figures are seen.
Mr. Victor Nehllg has nearly completed a
large picture of St. Paul preaching before
Agripra, Tbe composition 1i of a classical treat
ment, according well with the subject. Romans
of stately guiee, some beautiful woman among
tbcm, aie seated on tbe tribunal. Draped sages
are by, ready with counsel. Several Korean
soldiers are included in tbe composition, armed
With the peculiar weapons of the period. The
preacher, with the imaginary aureole beaming
around his bead, stands In an impressive atti
tude before the tribuual. Throughout the pic
ture tbcie Is a great deal of rich and contrastive
color, us well as of tbe vigorous academic draw
ing of tbe Fiench school.
It .18 raid tbat when Rutliin first saw
Church's ' Ninpara," bo pointed out an effect of
liRht upon vrat r which be declared he had often
aeen in nature, ct-pceially among the Swiss
waterfalls, but never before on canvas: and so
perfect is the optical illusion of the Iris in the
ssme piclure that tbe critical author of the
"Modern Painters" went to tbe window aud ex
amined the glas?, evidently attributing the pris
matic bow to the relraction of the sun.
Ti e desifin tor tbe Ltacoln Monument by
Laikin (. Meade, Jr., which has been aioptcd
by tbo Committee, though not as elaborately
ornamented as some others presented, is in ex
quisite taste. Tbe die Is 70 feet high, and the
total height is 100 feet. The foandation and
sub-bane are of granite, and the artist proposes
the architectural work to be of Havercconl
marble, and the statues of brouz. The obelisk
is surmounted by the eagle aud globe. At tbe
base a pedettal !? projected in front, on which is
a colossal statue ot Lincoln. On a plane below,
at tbe four ordinal points, are four pedestals,
on which nie groups representing the infantry,
cavalry, attillery, and marine arms of the ser
vice. Encircling these pedestals ara tablets, on
which are. written the Barnes of all tbe States.
Thee tablets are Hiked together, and the whole
work Indicates that through the wise counsels
of the President and the endurance of the
soldiers aod sailors, the Union has baen pre
served and perpotuated. On the four sides of
the base are tablets for inscription. That in
front and antler tbe statue bears the name in
full Abraham Lincoln. Tbe sub-base is reached
by stairs Irom tbe corners of the base, and
nnder the base is the crypt for the remains.
Tbe door of tbe crypt is also the
entrance to the parage and stair
way, which ascends the monument in
aide. Mies Hosiner's desij.. was an emble
matical temple, repiesentiu tbe two grant
phases of the war emancipation and tbe pre
servation of tbe Union. Mr. II. 0. Yolk's plan
provided a receptacle for relics and mementoes
connected with the -career of Mr. Lincoln; the
monument to be surmounted by rive groups of
statuary. Mr. Merrill's was a classic temple.
Mr. Leonard W. Volk oflered two mausoleum
designs. The contrast with Mr. Meade was
executed on Saturday. It provides lor tin erec
tion of a mouumcLt at Oak 11 id ire Cemetery,
near this city, all the exterior portion to be of
granite, and all to be of the most durable mate
rial, the sculpture to be of bronze; the founda
tion to be completed during the summer and
autumn of 186!), and all the architecture on or
about the 1st day of January, 1873, and all the
sculpture, or any part of it, to be added within
four years after. The detailed specifications
audwoiking plans are to be furnished on or
before the 1st day ot February next, and the
'final contract, is to bo executed Immediately
thereafter, Mr. Meade giving ample security for
the fulfilment of said contract. Mr. Meade to
receive $2000 'or tbe architecture and sculpture.
Tbe contract provides lor the building of a
crypT suitable and sufficient to contain the
remains ot Mr. Lincoln, and for a family tomb.
Glgnoux has nearly completed a Long Island
sctne, an autumnal effect. There is an open
bit ot water ana towiana in front, flanked on
each side by a lew trees, whose foliage shows
the brightest autumnal colors; they make a sort
of framework for the retreating landscape in
the background, which is lit up by the warm
rays of the sun rising behind a bank of clouds,
the little fleecy clouds above showing a rich
purple on one Bide aud light and yellowish hues
on the other. Bills are in tbe distance, nnd a
ioiet-t in tbe middle ground, left partly in
(badow. The design of the artist has been to
show the Indian summer warmth ot atmosphere
and of color.
William De Haas has sketched mountain
and pastoral scenes during the summer in tbe
Susquehanna valley. Among his sketches of
mountain scecery peculiar to tbe region, and of
striking character, be exhibits a beautiful draw
ing of "A Dell Among the Hills," shaded by
luxuriant forest tress and towering rocks. A
eabject possessing greater breadth and power is
sketch of "The Buffalo riange," shown under
tbe e fleet of a passing shower. Mr. De Haas
has now upon the eael an example entitled
"Sunset on the Susquehanna." In it tbe sun
is pictured just sinking behind the mountain
which lises abruptly in the distance, and its
flashing rays light up the landscape with daz
zling bnllianey. Tbe suriace of the river in the
middle distance catches and reflect the gorge
ous color ot the heavens, and sends it back with
unabated power. In tbe ioregroand is a tangled
mass of shrubbery springing up from a carpet
of ferns and wild grasses, over wlmb. is thrown
the lengthened shadows of the maple, beech,
birch, and the staid sumach, with its cones of
scarlet blossoms.
At uoupil's Gallery, New York, there is now
on exhibition a new picture, painted in Switzer
land, by Church. This is the most recent work
of this' artist. It is a composition from Mr.
Church's tropical sketch s, and gives tbe effect
of a sunset behind a low bank of clouds over a
luke, wbicb is surrounded by low hills on each
side, with mountains In the distance. There is,
also, a new and smaller picture by Bierstadt,
which represents a casile on the Rhine looming
up ngaiUHt the i-ky, in which the light of the
setting sun is struggling with floating clouds.
The high bills on tbe opposite bide are lit up,
while tbe open declivity in front of the castle is
loft in twilight shadow.
Mr. James M. Hart is flushing bu picture
of ''shower and Sunshine," which was begun
early last summer. Kuinv-lookint; cloud cover
tbe ripbt, on tbe edge ot which a bit of rainbow
suggests tbe ormlng sousMre, while on tbe left
the sky is clear, save a few light clouds. On a
road which comas from the woods on the right
into the foreground a farmer is driving a double
joke of cattle, attached to a waon, and loose
cattle are driven behind. The rond is filled with
little pools of water from the recent shower.
On the lult is a field of ripe grain, behind which
a streum it just disclosed amwug tbe trees. In
the dibtance are mountains, and bouses, and
. church uuioug tbe trees in tbe middle ground.
Mr. Lsndt Thompson has been engaged all
summer on bis statueaot Mr. lirjatitand General
Sedgwick. He bas in his studio the brooze nlate
on wb It'll Is the Inscriprion for the West Point
monument to the latter. It is simple and
expremive:

have tbe Immense Internal commerce of the Empire,
radiating Irom these points, through Its canals and
navigable rivers
The cable being laid, this company propose erecting
land Knew and establishing a speedy and trustworthy
means of communication, which must command
there, as everywhere else, the communications of the
Government, of business, and of social life, especially
In China. She has no postal system, and her only
means now of communicating information la by
courier on land, and by steamers on water.
The WtsternWorld knows tbat China Is a very
large country, In the main densely peopled; but tew
yet realize tbat she contains more than a third of the
humau race. The latest returns made to her central
authorities for taxing purposes, by the local magis
trates, make her population Jbur Hundred and Four
teen Milllom, and this Is mere likely to be odder than
over the actual aggregate. Nearly all of these who
are over ten years old not only can, bat do read and
write. Her civilization Is peculiar, bnt her literature
is as extensive as that of Europe. China Is a land of
teachers and traders; and tbe latter are exceedingly
quick to avail tlemselves of every proffered facility
for procuring early Information. It is observed In
Camoriiia tuui iuo vmuwo uiua imk ubo ui me
telegraph, though It there transmits messages In En
glish alone To-day, great numbers of fleet steamers
are owned by Chinese merchants, and used by them
exclusively for tbe transmission of early Intelligence,
If tbe telegraph we propose, connecting all tbelr great
seaports, were now In existence, It Is believed that
Its business would pay Its cost within the first two
years of Us successful operation, and would steadily
Increase thereafter.
No enterprise commends Itself as In a greater de
gree remunerative to capitalists, and to our whole
people. It la of vast national Importance commer

THE EARNINGS OF THE UNlONt PACIFIC

during the year ending June 30, li68, amounted to
over

These earnings are no Indication of the vast through

Upon such a propeity
their amount,
ARE ENTIRELY SECURE.
The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for
1 1000 each, and have coupons attached. They beat
annual Interest, payable on tbe first days of January
and July, at the Company's office In the City of New
York, at the rate of six per cent. In gold. Tbe prlncl
pal Is payable In gold at maturity. The price Is lot
and at the present rate ot gold, they pay a liberal
Income on their cost.
A very Important consideration In determining the
value of these bonds Is t'.e length of time they have to
run.
It Is well known tbat a long bond always commandl
much higher price than a short one. It Is safe to
assume tbat during the next thirty years, tte rate ot
Interest in the United States will decline as It has
done in Europe, and we have a right to expect that
each six per cent, securities as these will be held at as
high a premium as those of this Government, which
in 1857 were bought In at from 20 to 2a per cent, above
par. The export demand alone may produce this re
sult, and as the issae ol a private corporation, they
are beyond the reach ot political action.
The Company believe that their Bonds, at the pre
sent rate, are the cheapest security In tbe market, and
tbe right to advance the price at any time Is reserved
