THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1870. 5 The ravelling ir KotbrrtnH'a Plrtnre f "The Hull I ! (iplynliMr brilliant audience was In attendance last e ven In ft at the Academy of Music to witness the un veiling of Mr. Itotliermel'a jrreat painting of "Tne Kattle of Gettysburg." Generals Sherman, Meade, and a number of other distinguished oilloera of the army and navy were present, together with many of the most prominent citi zens of Pennsylvania and 1'lillad-lpliU, and the artist hod rokI reason to oe gnitltied at the enthusiastic reception given to his work by such an assembly. We pave a fall description of tne picture a few days bro, and It is not neeessnrv for lis to allude to it in detail at present. The exhibition last evening may be considered as of a purely ere nwoial character; and those who wish to study the picture as it. shonld be studied, wilt nave better opportunities for doinjr. so when It la placed in (lie building prepared lor It on Ches nut street, above Tenth. The wurk suirered greatly last evening from bad llfthtlnp, the row of foot-Hunts In particular being so strong as totaliv to destroy nil the force of the foreground. Its great merits, how ever, wore rsHy recognizable, nnd the severe test to which It was subjected proved the soundness of the artist's method. Despite the disadvantages under which It labored, the picture ap peared to better advantage In the. Academy last evening than It did within the limited area of the artists' studio, and it is undoubtedly a magalfleent memorial of the great bat le, and a work of art that ts an honor to the State of Pennsylvania and to the nation. Appropriate addresses were made by Messrs. Joseph Harrison, William McMlchael, and (Jeneral Meade, and Mr. McCalloagh read Janvier's poem on "The ltattle of (Gettysburg." Appropriate mmic was furnished by Hassler's orchestra. The Ultv Amaaement. AT TBK A Km the drama of Aciodh tht Continent will be perfoi med this evening.

Kid Gloves have been comparatively scarce and very high for some brands, or held at a high price by most of the merchants, but this cannot be said of the Messrs. Bartholomew, of the Great Kid (Hove Emporium, as tlwlr stock is very extensive and assortment still good. This Arm import their kid gloves direct three different qualities and brands, viz.: The "Bartley," which Is the finest glove In the market, appreciated by the linest trade for fit, durability, and fineness, and last for its cheapness, as they are sold below the usual price for first-class gloves. Their celebrated "La Belle" glove Is cele brated for lit celebrated for durability celebrated for strength celebrated for handsome colors cele brated for delicacy in tint In party-colors celebrated for Its low rrti'e (only fl-25 per pair). The Messrs. Bartholomew are the sole agents for tho "Bartly" and "La Belle" for the United States, wholesale and retail. They also import the world-renowned "Joseph," which is the best In the world at the price, which is 1 per pair, but tho Messrs.
