THE riMK ART.
ftlaraa'a "Imb and Mm."
There are now he seen at the galleries of
Messrs. James B. Earle & Sons a collection of
paintings by Mr. Edward Moran, which are
worthy of the attention of the public for their In
trlnolc merit, as well as on acconnt of the ob
ject for which they are placed upon exhibition.
These pictures are seventy-five in nimber, and
represent all the varieties of the artist' style as
a delineator of landscape and marine subjects.
No tlmllar exhibition of the jworks of a single
painter has ever, to the bett of oar know
ledge, been held in this city, and these
eevenly-flve pictures, therefore, have a par
ticular interest, and should receive
the attention of connoisseurs who
Wish to study tbe style of one of our most
talented and popular artists. It was originally
the intention of Mr. Moran to place these works
upon free exhibition, but he has foregone any
advantage he might gain by so doing, and has
generously placed tbem at the disposal of the
committee appointed by the Mayor to raise
funds for the relief of tbe sufferers by the war in
Europe. The Messrs. Earle have also given the
use of their gallery, so that the entire proceeds
of the exhibition will be devoted to the above
named object. In addition to this, Mr. Moran
has given tho entire profits on his handsomely
illustrated catalogue, which contains litho
graphic copies of all the pictures, drawn upon
stone by himself, ani he is also engaged la
painting a large-sized picture which will be
told to the highest bidder for the benefit of the
fund.
Philadelphia has not yet responded with her
accui-tomed generosity to the urgent appeals
which have been made in behalf of the suffering
poor in France and Germany, and this exhibi
tion Is really tbe first important effort that has
been made in their behalf. Mr. Moran's reputa
tion as au artist is such that the exhibition can
cot but be interesting to lovers of art, and in
consideration of the object for which it is held,
the gallery should be crowded whlle it con
tinues. Mr. Moran in his sketching tours has travelled
from Maine to North Carolina, and has studied
all the characteristics of our coast between these
points. The paintings In this exhibition there
fore represent, in addition to several fine effects
of sky and water upon the open sea, a great
number of coast scenes from tbe rocks of Mount
Desert to tbe sands of ilatteras. These pic
tures are of all sizes and are exceedingly varied
in subject and treatmeut, and they exhibit old
ocean under all imaginable phases. Ia addition
to the marine views there are a number of fine
andscapef., tbe most important of which Is a
View of Philadelphia from the Park," and one
of the most beautiful a study of trees, meadow,
and brook made last summer by Mr. Moran
while upon a visit to Mr. Joseph Jefferson
at his farm in this State. This is a direct
transcript from nature, and it has some qualities
which it would be almost impossible to obtain
in a studio picture. Indeed, some of the most
interesting works in the exhibition are the care
ful outdoor studies which the artist has made
from time to time, and which have been accu
mulating in his studio for years. These can
easily be detected by a practised eye from their
lack of elaborate finish, a certain freedom and
boldness of touch, and by a certain outdoor
look that can be belter Appreciated than de
scribed. Tbe catalogue which accompanies this exhi
bition contains, as we have stated, reduceed
lithographic copies of all the paintings madj by
the artist himself, and it is well worth having
for its own sake. These drawings are beauti
fully made, and the book is one that the lovers
of art will appreciate apart from the exhibition
which It illustrates, and it is well worth the
price charged for it, as it could not be sold for
less than twice the sum, if the artist had not
done all the work upon it, except the printing,
himself.
It is to be hoped that this exhibition of
pictures will serve to excite a proper amount of
interest in the object for which it is held; and
that when the ship designated by the Govern
ment tor the purpose arrives at this city, our
contributions will rival in magnitude those of
other cities. The members of the theatrical pro
fession propose to do their share by giving a
grand entertainment short y at the Academy of
Music, and if they are properly seconded by
citizens of all classes, the contributions of Phila
delphia will be as liberal as the occasion de
mands. THE COMMISSIONS.
Wb publish extracts from an article in the
Public Record of this morning protesting against
the passage of the Commission bills. The fire
papers which have fully committed themselves
against this iniquitous proposition to give Phila
delphia a Tammany government are the Age,
the Inquirer, the Ledger, the Record, and Tub
Evbbino Teliqraph. Cannot some of the
rest of our contemporaries, who are now as
dumb as oysters, give us their ideas on the sub
ject? The Record says as follows:
"The political corruption which has so long male
HarriBburg notorious, now, at length, eulmiuaies la
a scheme gigantic la extent sua shameless lu ef
frontery. The bill to create three commissions for
Philadelphia aims to transfer our rlguw of self
government into the hands of a few irresponsible
- persons, during five conaecutlve years an absolute
and nntiualirlrd transfer of rights, without
a check, upon the men to whom they are
surrendered. Ho enormous and so iniquitous is this
project; ao palpably is It a violation of our republi
can system; so surely does It open the
door, iu the future, to unrestrained fraud, pecula
tion, anu violence, mat, jor a mumeui, it is uiuiuuii
to conceive of It as proposed lu sober earnest; yet
such Is the fact. It is no burlesque ou trm one
hand, and no bugbear on tue other; it is a bl 1 full of
perilous realitv. and the danger of the hour Is that
the people of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania may
not fully realize its character and Bcope In season
to deleal It.
''With an adroitness equal to their audacity, the
concociri of this scheme have put forward among
the comtm.?l0Dera mentioned lu the bill the names
or several genUemen of integrity and good repute,
with the obvious purpose of giving an air of renpeo
tabllity to the other would-be commissioners aud of
cloaking the false principle underlying the bill. Hut
evn these few respectable genilemeu are not those
. who. supposing It necessary to Invest somebody with
the powers proposed, would probably be chosen by
the people as their representatives. Nor Is this all.
We have been led to believe, from prtvate
information coinlig to us from Harrlsburg, that It Is
a part of the plan of the mauagers of this sche.ue to
withdraw, at the eleventh hour, as miuyof these
respectable names as possible, aud to substitute
others who may better suit their future purp oses.
to csref ally has a 'ring' planned this astounding
project to control the public property, destroy the
rights, and remove the remedies of the people of
1 lndeedJ'the more one examltrts this scheme the
more shamelessly Iniquitous it. appears, ior ex
ample, the provision by which the commissioners
are to 'fill their own vacancies-putting in, lu case
of a death or resignation, any man In the city is
uuaireous on Its face. The provision regarding
the political composition of the board Is not omy

'7, i.nt dno not stop at Issuing bouds. Section
three declares that 'said board shall make requisi
tion on the Councils of the city of Philadel
phia, on or before the 1st day of December
In every year hereafter, for the amount of money
required by them for the purposes of the Board
of Iubllo Works, and said Councils shall,
within thirty days thereafter, pass an ordinance
levying a tax sufficient to raise the amount so re
quired.' Consider for a moment what this mesas,

In their opinion, is. 'required by them' for improve

diminution of one dollar, though It be billions, thall

and this amount, unless anticipated by regular
taxes, must be covered by a special ordinance,
within thirty days.
'Was ever scheme so monstronsln Its audacity,
so subversive of established institutions, so lrape

Nevertheless, we have reason to believe that the
Blotters of this m"mure already count upon tbe
larrlsburg legislators as 'secured' for their pur
posed. To use their phrase, the project Is already
Vet up;' and, humiliating as the confession Is, we
must say that the experience of the past shows us
that there Is nothltg Improbable In this boast. If
It bo so if the Legislature hu already lent
Itself to this prodigious Job we call upon theOov
ernorof the Com in on wealth to protect by his veto
the city of Philadelphia from the trap thus sprung
upon her, nn' II she can recover to protect herself.
We suggest also that the people of this city shonld
assemble In public meeting to denounce this Infa
ntilis scheme, which alms to destroy government
'of tbe people, by the people, and for the people,'
and to give ns, Instead of our republican institu
tions, the despotic sway of an oligarchy.'!

lor the benefit of Professor Kisley, the celebrated
American and European manager. Professor
Kisley is well knowu, and he has a great num
ber of friends in this.city who will gladly aid in
making this benefit a brilliant success. As to
morrow will be a family night, there should be
an unusually largo attendance, as the style of
entertainments given at the American are ex
ceedingly attractive to ladles and chil
dren, who feel debarred from at
tending on ordinary occasions when the
pentlemen in the audience are permitted to in
dulge in their cigars. As on former occasions,
nothing will be permitted to occur either before
or behind the curtain that will offend the most
fastidious, while the attractions of the perform
ance will be increased by a number of new and
attractive features. The entertainments given
at the American always contain something to
suit every degree of taste, grave as well as gay,
and one act succeeds another with so much
rapidity that the Interest is kept up unabated
from the commencement to the close. The
ladies who have attended at the family per
formances have invariably been well pleaded,
and that Mr. Fox's experiment in this direction
is a success is proved by the large audiences
that fill tbe theatre on Friday evenings.
On Saturday afternoon there will be a family
matinee, when an interesting programme will
be preeented.
') hkodokb Thomas and his grand orchestra
will give a grand concert at tbe Academy of
Music on Friday evening, March 31, and a mati
nee on 8aturday, AprU 1. The performance on
Friday will be for the benefit of Mr. Alfred
fetinimel, the doorkeeper at the Academy.
Miss Fanny Davenport The Home Jour
nal of New York, in a criwic'mtu upon the play
of Saratoga, now performing at the Fifth
Avenue Theatre, thus describes the costumes of
Miss Fanny Davenport, who personates the
' Belle of the Watering Place:"
As the characters and acting of Saratoga have
been suillclently discussed, let us refer to a feature
which has already excited the attention of the
ladies. We speak of the tollers. Miss Fanny Daven
port, the brightest luminary m the cast, wears four
dltterent dresses during the pla. One Is a dark
green skirt of gros grain, with train, and long over
skirt gracefully looped up at the back. Around the
bottom of the skirt a row of horse shoes, whips, and
other trappings made of black velvet studded with
gilt beads, forms the trimming. With this skirt Is
worn a tight titling jacket or basque of black velvet,
rich green satin collar, and revers and culls to cor
respond with the skirt. The Jaunty hat is in harmony
with the entire costume, and is one of those stylish
little bite of bead gear which "must be seen
to be appreciated." The second Is of the
richest wane corded silk, and, In accord
ance with the prevailing style, the dress
is made with a deculleti waist and a full
court train of the new English pattern. A deep
flounce of white lace, headed with small pearl beads,
trims the bottom of the skirt, and similar trimming
ornaments the corsage and waist, the latter made
pointed shape, (short sleeves, puffed at the eloow,
aud edged with lace and diamoud ornaments. In
the picnic scene (act third, scene first) 'Miss Etne
heumilugton" (Fanny Davenport) wears a white
niusilu over pink, the oversklrt being ornamented
by a row of narrow-hemmed flounces, and in the
fourth act she appears in a very rich toilette of pink
silk, made with long tralu. With this are worn a
waist and au oversklrt of white satin, trimmed
elaborately with fringe and- cut minus a front
breadth. The long flowing sleeves, open to the
shoulder, display inner sleeves of pink silk, made
tight and edged at the wrist witn narrow laoe. At
me back the cress is loopeu in me ransiaa
fashion, aud 1b bouud around the bottom
with pink satin. The last dress worn by Miss
Davenport, and challenging great admiration,

Baiuli's Amateur Opera The New ion
Evtnina Evress gives the following crltlclsum
on perlormauces given a snort time atjj at mo
Union League Theatre. New lone, unaer me
direction of Professer Antonio Barili:
On Tuesday and Friday evenings, the lovers of the
lyric art bad a One treat offered them by Maestro
Antonio Bariil, at the Union League Theatre, ou
which occasion he was assisted bv some of his
pupils and other friends in producing the charming
opera by Donizetti, Maria di Mohan. "Maria" was
taken by Miss Virginia Paris, a pupil of Slgnor Ettoie
Barili, of Philadelphia, and was interpreted by ner
throushout in a most auccess'ul manner. We would
like to have ueard her voice fuller It belug rather
light for sucn a oiraran vocalization as ner part re
mures ! but she uses It with such great artlstlo power,
and her acting Is so good aud, to crown all, h 1b so
Iw autlfully endowed with face and Ugure that sie
will cenaluly have the power of takluga high poal
tlou on any operatic stage. Signor Barlll must fel
Kronrt nr his nunll's successful debut lu opera. MUi
Vli.a Moon made snleudld use of her rich cull-
tislto voice, aud looked aud aoied her part of
"i;oiidl" to Ofrfectlou. She is a pupil of Maestro
Bailll. Miss Mooney's voice 1 probably one of lite
IJiiest natural contialtos In America, and anoull she
o ii. mIh heiself to the art. sae might soiu, with
isrelui study, take a high position anywhere, a'td
Just now contralto voices are rare, ami vtuuuum au
furHliiulv.
The entertainment, as a whole, was a great sue-
cess, and It Is a pity the treat was confined to such a
small audience as the Union League Theatre caa
accommodate. We trust It has proved pecuniarily
successful, and that Signor Barlll may be enabled to
carry oat his plan of forming an association for
amateur opera.
The "Star" Cocbbb or Lbcturbs. The
following is an extract from a business letter
recently received by Mr. T. B. Pugh from D. R.
Locke, Esq. (Petroleum V. Nasby):
i notice that you close the 8tar Course
with the Mendelssohn Quintette Club, of Braton.
The Mendelssohns were in Philadelphia a year ag-,
but, owing to the most horrloly inefficient manage
ment, did not meet with patronage worthy
of them. I esrnestly hope that
their experience' this time will be
more pleasant. They ought tov pack the
Academy 'from pit to dome.' They are not only
thorough gentlemen, but true artists, and I affirm
that In their department of musical art they have no
superiors In the country. I have heard them scores
of times, and each time went away Impressed with
the belief that It there Is such a thing as absolute
perfectinn In musio they have attained It.
"When you have heard them, yon will say that
this statement of their ability Is not in the least ex
travagant; you cannot ssy or do too much for
them. I am very anxious that they shall have a
great success In Philadelphia, which ts as good a
thing as an artist r speaker can have on this conti
nent. "Truly yours, P. R. Locke."
