tWEnTES' FOE THE DISPATCH. 1
My mother used to talk about my beaux,
and perhaps for her sake I am fond of the
quaint, old-fashioned word. But let me
tay in the beginning that it has a distinct
meaning of its own, and should cot be mis
applied. Hood says:
"I remember, I remember,
When my little lovers came,
With a posy, or a cherry.
Or some new invented game."
Well he does not mean lovers at all, he
means beaux.
One may have a beau, alover, an admirer,
an adorer, or a comrade, but seldom may
combine any two ot these in one individual,
and never all five in any one epoch ot her
life, for the bean is a special attribute of
frirlnood, and seldom develops the exacting
tenderness of the lover, tue blind delusions of
the admirer, the infatuation of the adorer, or
the honest sympathy and helpfulness of the
comrade, who, however, does often develop
camaraderie into friendship, perhaps after all
the most satisfying relationship between man
and woman.
Kutthclies.nl Tbebeau! "What is he! "Who
is he? Whit is his oncn, habitat, sphere of
action?
Let us describe him first by negatives. He
need not be young; In fact, "an old beau"" is a
welt-known character in fiction, drama and real
life.
He need not: be handsome, although he inva
riably thinks he is.
He need not be intellectual or learned in
fact. I never knew a beau who nas either.
althouch I have known some men of whom
other men said, "He isn't half such a fool as be
looks."
He need not be brave, for nobody expects
courage or leaaersmp irom mm: norneea ne do
a business man. for he is usually found spend
lnc the money his father or somebody else has
accumulated for him. In fact the beau, re
duced to poverty and real work, is the most
forlorn of all objects, reminding one of a per
forming canary bird, or an industrious flea, or
a poor little trained poodle, or any other help
less anu uarmiebs iiroe animal coerceu into un
natural labor and foreign pursuits.
A VALUABLE ADJUNCT.
Not that I mean to speak severely of the
beau, for I don't; in fact, I like him and value
him, and should be really sorry to miss him out
of the world, but he has his limitations, poor
dear, like the rest of us, and one hates to see
him pushed up to the wall that defines those
limits.
Moreover, there is a positive as well as a
negative formula in the recipe for a beau. He
must be good naturcd, and always ready, if not
ftith a smile, at least with a simper; ho must
be quick at repartee, even though a mild one;
be must have a good memory, and a certain
adhesiveness of tonch which will enable him
to pick up the floating gossamer threads of
society talk, and carry them to just the right
quarter for repetition. He must never forget
anybody's connections, relationships, friend
ships, and enmities, and never by any chance
step upon anybody's toes,oranybody's remotest
frills. He must discover and keep the nar
row path between harmless gossip and perilous
scandal, and while always having something
interesting to say, never say anything that
could be repeated to his own or anybody else's
detriment. He must be sentimental to the ex
tent of remembering the favorite flowers, colors
and perfumes of the lady to whom he is for the
moment attentive, and making graceful little
offerings in harmony with those tastes. He
must have sufficient tact to be placed where he
is wanted and to skilfully efface himself in the
presence of a lover or a favored admirer or
adorer; for one of the peculiarities of the beau
is, that he has his season, like the mushroom,
and is not at all acceptable out of it.
But even as one will sometimes capriciously
prefer salted, dried or pickled mushrooms to
fresh and tender vegetables, thero will be in.
tervals in life, perhaps to its very end, when
one turns from a grand passion, from the
ledestal whereon one's adorers places one,
e en from the solid satisfaction of a comrade's
honest sympathy, and finds a whimsical pleas
ure in the conversation, the compliments, tun
chit-chat of a beau, and finds the same rest and
refreshment in bis society as in that of the last
fashionable novel, or the lightest of society
comedies.
ABUTTEBFLT COMRADESHIP.
We have spoken of the beau as an adjunct
of early girlhood, because it is only an in
genue who can be long content in the society
of a beau, or who expects anything serious of
him, or dignifies him into an ideal. Young
girls never classify the men who surround them
on their cntranoe into society; they are all
heroes of romance, they all aro possible lovers
and husbands, and the beau, being the most
obvious, and the most demonstrative figure in
this new world. Is often pitched upon by the
debutante as her ideal, and she is sometimes a
good deal disappointed In finding bow wofully
too small he is for the "giant's robe" she fain
would fit upon his shoulders.
Occasionally the girl is herself a female beau;
not a belle, for that Is quite another thing, but
a tnfler, a butterfly, an epbemeron a person
ality answering precisely to that of the beau. In
such a case the two become, not friends, for
to be a friend requires characteristics neither
of them possess, but familiar acquaintance,
even comrades in a certain sense, and spend a
great many idle hours together in just the wav
one sees a couple of butterflies hovering and
dancing over a sunny pool or a bed of mignon
ette, happy while the fine weather lasts, beaten
down and lost in the first wind of adversity.
I do not think the beau often marries; it
seems to me in glancing through my acquaint
ance on both sides of the water that he is gen
erally a bachelor, or if not, poses as one. In ef
fect a beau Is generally mildly but intensely
selfish under his miling and courteous mrface;
he wants his money tor his own pleasures, and
he has a fastidious horror of all the annoyances
and disillusionments of marriage; add to this
that be is neither the creature of impulse nor
of passion, nor at all capable of self-forgetful
love, and the question at once arises, why in
the world should he marry? And the answer
is- He does cot that is, not often.
But, although only the young girl believes in
her beau, as anything more than a beau, he is
both valued and cherished by older women, to
whom, as I have implied, be serves as a recrea
tion, an anodyne, a refuge from those relations
of life whose depth and intensity make them
as often the misfortune as the blessing of our
lives. I am. In fact, very fond of my beaux,
and don't hesitate to acknowledge it; but cot
for the world would I let them know that I
consider them as beaux pur et simple, since
probably cot one of them but would be of
fended, for the world has grown so false in our
day that no man is contented to "see hlmsel'
as ithers see" him, but poses as something else.
It was not so in the days of our grand
mothers, when Beau Nash and Beau Brum
mall, and a host of their imitators were not
only content, but proud, to fill the role of a
"beau, and were only distressed lest they should
be taken for something else.
A BEVTTAIt OF OALLAITTET.
"Wouldn't It be possible to revive this guild
spirit, and start a new school of professional
beaux-men who, finding themselves adapted by
nature and Inclination for the profession,
should educate themselves for it, study up the
old masters of the art,and embroider upon their
methods all the added finesse and enterprise
demanded by the advance of the age? It is
really a subject worth considering, and I
recommend it to the notice of my young male
friends, several of whom show a very pretty
talent in that direction.
But, pending this new departure in the his
tory of beaux, let me Implore all my female
friends to be more precise in their classi
fication of their male acqualntince, for

It is rcallv a grief to hear a tender,
romantic, Browninges.'iue adorer spoken
of as the "beau" of bis idol, or to have one's
solid, practical, congenial comrade dubbed: by
so triflincaname,orto insult the sweet illu
sions and lofty ideals of a pair of lovers by call

beau, if jou please and died with a jestnpon

place. No, my dear girls, don't bo slipshod in
your nomenclature; and, although you maybe
surrounded with beaux, dnn't fancy them lov
ers, or even sincere admirers, for your true
beau admires nobody very much except him
self, although a part of his profession is to as
sumo the part of an admirer, not tojou only,
but to the other dear 500 toward whom he will
flutter In the course of the evening.

GfiAND ARMt ECHOES.
WHEEE THE NINTH FOUGHT.
The XInndomo monument to bo Erected on
Gcttysburs's Field Commander Wnrner
ontheNnlionnl Encampment Preserving
Battle Flags Nt.Tr from tbo Posts.
Alex JIurdock and Edward Fisher, mem
bers of the Ninth Pennsylvania Reserve
Besimenl Monumental Committee returned
yesterday morning from Gettysburg battle
field where they met the State Memorial
Commission for the purpose of inspecting
their beautiful monument, erected ou the
battle field between Little and Big Round
Top. The work was found satisfactory and
the same was accepted by the State Com
mission and also by the Regimental Com
mittee. Arrangements will be made to ded
icate the same on September 11 and 12,
Pennsylvania Day. No doubt the regiment
will be strongly represented. The old boys
may well be proud of their monument and
will be glad to meet so many of their old
comrades on the old battlefield.
Circulars will be issued shortly by the
State Commissioner, or other State authori
ties, when full instructions will be given
how to obtain transportation to and from Get
tysburg. Tents will likely be erected to accommodate
the old soldiers. Rooms can also be procured
in private houses, where comrades take their
families, and do not wish to camp out.
An Excellent Suggestion.
General Meigs, the architect of the Pen
sion building, has addressed a letter to Com
missioner of Pensions Tanner, suggesting that
the flags borne in battle by the soldiers of the
United States and thoo captured by them in
war be hung around the walls of the Pension
Office bnilding. He says also that the intent of
all the acts of Congress regarding tbo captured
flags is that they shall be displayed in some
proper public plice. The Commissioner has
replied to General Meigs that he will assist in
this project if the Pension bnilding be made
waterproof. The roof now leaks badlv in sev
eral places. This Is so much more desirable a
proposition for the disnosal of the captured
flags than was recommended by the last ad
ministration, that every veteran in the country
will, without doubt, second the motion, and the
flags captured will remain as evidences of the
valor of the United State3 soldier for all time
to come."
Commander Warner on the Encampment.
The Washingtou iVationallVtoime says: "Commander-in-Chief
Warner reports that the prepa
rations at Milwaukee for tbeNatlonalEncamp
ment are much in advance of what they have
been in other cities at this period before the
encampment, and that they are characterized
by liberality and good comprehensive manage
ment. Everything, except the attitude of tho
railroads and hotels, indieates a signal success
for the grest gathering, which he estimates
would reach 200,000 but for the untoward cir
cumstances mentioned. Unless the railroads
and hotels abate their greed somewhat the
attendance may not reach 50,000."
The I.ndlos' Cbnrltnble Work.
The ladies of the G. A. R, Relief Committee,
with headquarters in the University building.
Diamond street, have been busily engaged
during tho past week and have rendered as
sistance to many soldiers' families. For many

packing boxes for the relief of the flood suf
ferers. On Tuesday and Wednesday the ladies
will serve dinner from 11:30 a. m. to 2 P. u., the
proceeds to be used for the relief of soldiers'
families. The dining room in the University
building will be cool and tastefully decorated
with flowers and flags, and the ladies appeal to
the comrades and business men tolpatronlze
them liberally.

WOOD'S LAST WEEK.
The Young Actor in Adrift in New York, at
Harris' Theatre.
ThatN. S. Wood is a big favorite is best at
tested by the fact that notwithstanding the un
usually hot weather ho has played to full
bouses for 24 performances during the past two
weeks. He commences the last week of his
engagement to-morrow, appearing in his latest
success? "Adrift in New York." The play has
never been seen here, but has been enthu
siastically received in other large cities. As
William CTNeiU. the talented young .star has
a brilliant opportunity to shine as a comedian.
In fact the drama is full of comedy, and was
constructed for lauging purposes, which is just
what the people want this hot weather. A lot
of special scenery, representing prominent
points along tho river front of New York, will
be ued, as well as a number of novel mechani
cal effects, which cost Mr. Wood many dollars
to procure. For good laugh go to Harris
Theater this week. Another point; it is the
coolest house in the city.

DUCHESS OP HAMILTON'S DAIRY.
Miss Charlotte Robinson, Homo Art
Decorator to Dor Majesty.
TAKING DINNEE AT THE D0E0THI
CORRESPONDENCE OF TIME DISPATCH.;
London, June 12. The present month is
the time for seeing the London shops at
their best This year the shop windows are
gayer and more attractive than ever. The
great dressmaking establishments offer us
a quite bewildering wealth of many-tinted
garments, while the bonnet shops almost
rival in gandiness the tulip beds in Hyde
Park. In the general competition for favor
and custom, the lady shopkeeper that most
recent product of our inventive Nineteenth
century is not left behind. She, too,
hurries over to Paris in the Easter holidays
and decks her shop on her return with all the
latest novelties and most bewitching concoc
tions of Parisian art. Imitating the example
of their brother artists of the brush, these
artists of the needle have their '-showdays"
and their afternoons at home in their show
rooms, when their lady friends gather in force
to drink tea and inspect tho new stock, and
when both buyers and sellers fraternize with a
democratic equality which would be positively
startling, did one ever allow oneself to be
astonished by society's latest whim.
It is quite "the thing" nowadays for our aris
tocracy to go into trade not in a backhanded
surreptitious sort of way, but with much self
advertisement, and in the full light of day.
The hated word, which 20 years ago filled
the refined ear with contempt and loathing, is
fast losing all its old sting, and everybody at
leasi Knows some uouy else "quite in our own
set, I assure you" who has taken to business
of one sort or another. Democracy, Women's
Rights, and above all. that dearth of ready
money, which is usually described as "bad
times," have all contributed to the result.
Our male aristocrats started tbo movement.
For several j ears tho Marquis of Londonder
ry's coal carts have perambulated tbe streets
of the metropolis bearing bis Lordship's name
in full. The Earl of Shrewsbury's hansoms are
the smartest and swiftest in London, and quite
recently the Earl of Coventry has blossomed
out into a bona fide manufacturer of jams and
FIckles. Soon tbe ladies began to follow suit.
I Lords may sell coals, why should not ladies
sell milk? And so the Duchess of Hamilton
has started a most successful dairy at Ipswich,
and no ono thinks any the worse of her Grace
for doing so; while the Honorable Mrs. Maberly
presides over a daintily lurnished establish
ment of a similar nature somewhere in tbe re
gions of Nottlng Hill.
ADDED JOYS TO SHOPPING.
For the most part, however, ladies have taKen
to tbe eminently feminine occupations of dress
maklngand millinery. And in this they have
shown their wisdom. Good taste is a natural
gift, which English women of the lower classes
seldom possess and never acquire. What these
cultivated shopkeepers lack at first in practical
knowledge and business habits, they make up
for in refined taste and novelty of ideas, and
each lady is, moreover, backed in starting by a
ready made clientele of curious and interested
friends. The result is that tho movement so far
has been a distinct success for thojo who ven
tured boldly into the stream of competition;
ladies find that it adds an extra nlcasure to the
already varied joys of shopping to discuss their
purchases with a woman of real taste and re
finement, and the only people who regard this
new social departure with dismay are the bona
fide dressmakers, whose feelings can best be
compared to those; of the hard-working actress
when she sees a society beauty step straight
into the front rank on tbe boards.
The interesting uoint is that the social posi
tion of these ladies has hardly been affected at
all by tbeir business enterprise. People rightly
admire their plnck and energy, and they con
tinue to dine out at night with the ladies who
have patronized their shops by day. Perhaps
tbe gracious sanction of royalty, which has not
been wanting in the present instance, has had
a good deal to do with this unusual tolerance.
When pretty Mrs. Charlie Pocklington, whoso
husband is in the Fourth Hussars, set up as a
dressmaker in Grafton street, under the name
of Mme. Lili, Princess Christian was one of ber
earliest customers, and both tbe Princess of
Wales and Princess Beatrice have ordered
their gowns from her. And when Mrs. Pock
lington goes to court herself, it is Mme. Lili
who provides the gown a feat of a Jekyll-and-Hjde
nature, which, for economical reasons,
many women would like to copy. Another
lady in very smart society, v ho took to dress
making not long ago, is Mrs. Charles Gurney, a
beauty in her day, and sister toVal Prinsep,
the artist, and niece of tho Countess Somers.
Her daughter. Miss Laura Gurney, is a budding
novelist and visits at Sandringham, whero she
appears in her mother's most artistic dress
making triumphs. From all which it is evident
that in these (lavs of equality society and trade
go very happily hand-in-hand.
Lady Gordon's Venture.
I believe one of tbe very first ladles to take
up millinery m sober earnest was Lady Gran
ville Gordon, who has a tiny little shop at 43,
Park street, Mayfair. In the window, shown
off to advantage by a dark plush curtain, are
two or three dainty llttlecreations, fresh from
Paris. Inside, all is pretty creamy paint and
artistic wall paper, with a glimpse through a
curtained doorway of a tiny workroom beyond.
I called in tbe other morning to be cpachca up
in the latest fashions for this summer, and was
shown charming little erections of lacoand
flowers, very small and simple, in. the way of
bonnets; and, for hats, the large low-crowned,
broad-brimmed shapes, with streaming ribbons
behind, which somehow never get thoroughly
acclimatized in England. Lady Granville's
prices are by no means ruinous; of course, at
times they run up to four or five guineas a
bonnet; but she says that she often bas to
make bats at SO and 85 shillings, for ladies de
clare they are so poor they can't afford to pay
any more.
Lady Gordon, who, by tbe way, trades under
the name of Mme. Lierre, enjoys her business
very much. She is almost always to be fouud
in the shop, makes a capital saleswoman, with
pleasant graceful manners, and though tbo
actual trimming of the bonnet! is left to an ex
perienced forewoman, sbo directs and suggests
everytuing nerseii. one nas aumirauie taste,
and overflows with ideas a most valuable- ac
complishment when you have buyerswboknow
neither what they want themselves, nor what
suits their faces. Mme. Lierre prides herself
on being well beforehand with tbe fasbions:she
gets her models from Paris, but tones them
down a bit to suit tbe more sober English taste.
She told me she had made bonnets for a good
many American women, and also for tho Prin
cess of Wales, to do so being tbe height of am
bition ot every milliner in England.
It is hardly fair to speak of Mrs. Charlotte
Robinson as a shopkeeper, for she is an artist
in every sense of the word, but as she is also
the possessor of ono of the most fascinating
shop windows lnLondon,atthe cornerof Brook
street. New Bond street, I cannot resist the
temptation of describing ber work. I called in
not long ago with a view of investing in a
newspaper rack, of now and ingenious con
struction. I was quite enchanted bv all the
latest notions and clever dodges in tbe furni
ture line, which emanate, from Miss Robinson's
fertile brain. Besides being
A BORN AETIST,
with a real eye for decorative effect, she pos
sesses a positive genius for inventiveness.
White wood music racks, Lonis XVL screens,
painted gim-crack tables, and photo-frames of
every size and shape, both in wood and in deli
cate tinted glass, the latter a special patent
of her own, crowd the little shop.
But this shop, as I have said, is only one side
of Miss Robinson's work. Her real occupation
is house decorating, and she is never without
two or three houses on band, which are often
left entirely to her discretion from cellar to
garret. One envies ber tbo opportunity of such
perpetual practical application ot taste and
talent. Americans will be pleased to know
that it was while traveling In their own country
that Charlotte Robinson, struck by the decora,
tion of some of tbe great New York houses
she visited, resolved to devote herself profes
sionally to the w ork. This was some eight or
ten years ago.and tbe recent kindly patronage
of Queen Victoria, who has bestowed upon her
tho title of "Home Art Decorator to Her
Jiajest," may be taken as a sign and seal of
ber success.
In her artistic work tbe lady receives much
assistance from her sister, Mrs. McClelland; it
is she who (resigns and paints the charming
flower panels which form a special feature of
Miss Robinson's decorative work, and of which
somo excellent specimens may be seen at the
Brook street establishment. These panels con
sist of groups of natural flowers, band-painted
on somo kind of pale tinted leather and then
mounted on woodwork, also painted to com.
plete the harmony of color. For dwellers in
Mnoky and sooty London, where nothing re
mains clean fir a slnglo month, it is a satisfac
tion to know that tbese delicate works of art
can positively be scrubbed down with soap and
water. One cannot imagine a more effective
way of turning a dingy town drawing room into
a palace of art, than by applying to Mrs. Rob
inson for assistance. I am sorry to say that 1
have never bad the pleasure of meeting her
personal!), but I hive ofton been told that sho
is a most charming and attractive woman, with
a quick intuitive svmpathy, which no doubt
lies at the root of much of her art work, and
which seldom fails to turn her business into
pleasant acquaintanceship.
It seems a far cry from Newnham College to
millinery, and yet I know a very cultured er
Newnham student who has "goneinto bonnets."
In her case mathematics appear to have acted
as an excellent foundation for business, for she
has been specially successful in her enterprise.
Tbo lady I refer to is a Sirs. Cooper-Oakley,
who trades in new Bond street under the now
well-known name of Mine. Isabel.
BONNETS AND BUDDHISM.
The Newnhamites In contra-distinction to
the Girtonites are always held to marry, and
Miss Cooper, after a successful university
career, married aMr. Oakley, and subsequently
went out to India, where he held some appoint
ment. Ill health drivingherhomc, Mrs. Oakley
left ber husband deep in esoteric Buddhism, to
the study of which he has devoted his life, and
tbe family finances being at a low ebb, took to
bonnet making for an income. The combina
tion of bonnets and Buddhism always struck
me as delightfully characteristic of tbe times.
Mrs. Oakley is tall and slight in figure, with
a rather handsome face, and a very quiet lady
like manner. She always waits ou her cus
tomers herself, and alwajs has a very positive
opinion as to what does, or does not snit them.
Her pMces aro certainly high, usually from
three to four guineas, but I can testify from
personal experience that a bonnet from her is
a Joy not quite for ever, but, anyhow, as long
as it lasts.
In one point Madam Isabel sets a good ex
ample to all lady employers of labor; she has
tbe interests of her employes very much at
heart. She discovered that in the scant half
honr which is all that sbop assistants, lady
clerics, etc, are allowed for their midday meal,
they often do no more than eat a hurried bun
at tbe nearest baker, for want of a proper din
ing place in the neighborhood. To remedy this
evil, she has recently started a charming little
cheap restaurant, called Tbe Dorothy, for
women only. Hunched there the other day,
and had a plain, but excellently cooked repast,
for tho small sum of nine pence. The place is
prettily decorated with Japanese fans and or
naments, tho food is daintily served, and the
waiting is excellent. I need hardly add that
the scheme has been an admirable success for
all concerned, and that as many as 200 women
lunch thero in a single day. Now that tbe
scheme has been inaugurated, it is to be hoped
that "Dorothys" will spring up all over Lon
don. 31. M. DltKE.
AETNBffS AND GOSSIP.
Mb. Charles Walz has a pastel on exhibi
tion at Mayer's. The subject is a portrait of
two young ladies taken with their heads
affectionately close together.
A couple of new water colors by Walkley
have been added to the collection in Histed's
gallery. There are also shown some very fine
protographs of scenes in and about Johnstown
which, in addition to a great degree of artistic
excellence, tell the story of tbe fearful disaster
more clearly than any words can do.
A new etching by Frederick DIelman en
titled, "Under the Holly," is a very pleasant
work in the style of a decorative panel. The
subject is the face of a young girl embowered
in holly rather than under it. while her gloved
hands may be seen turning aside its glossy
leaves. An excellent proof of this work may
be seeaat Young's.
These is a plan now on foot in New York to
erect a marble arch of a style similar to the
temporary wooden structure which was built
on Washington square during the recent Cen
tennial celebration. Mr. Stanford White, who
built the temporary arch, will be the architect
of this new monument, and as it is to cost
8150,000, it will be quite imposing in size and also
in design.
Mb. D. B. Walkxey has a couple of clever
water color sketches on view at Mayer's. He
has developed quite a penchant for work in
this medium of late, and has succeeded in pro
ducing some verypleasaut effects. Tbe two
sketches referred to are not materially differ,
ent from others whicn he has shown recently;
they are both out-of-door studies, briirht and
cheerful lookinrr. with a erood effect of Ile-ht
and sunshine.
Me. H. S. Stevenson shows a study of roses
In water colors at Boyd's. There are books,
pottery and drapery in addition to the flowers,
but the latter form the picture, nevertheless,
as the former are merely faintly indicated,
suggested rather than drawn. There is some
fault to be found with the painting of the dra
pery, and also in the shaded parts ot the flow
ers, but the color in general is good and the
composition pleasing and effective.
Miss Madge Ibvin has spent some time
recently sketching at Washington, Pa., and has
also been engaged upon studies of flowers, a
branch of art in which she succeeds particu
larly well. It is more than probable that this
young artist will be lost to Pittsburg for some
time at least, as she bas about decided to pay
an extended visit to New York with a view of
continuing her own studies and at the same
time imparting instruction to others.
The eleventh exhibition of the Society of
American Artists, which closed on the 15th
insr., was one of the most satisfactory, and, as
regards the quality of the work shown, one of
the best ever held by. that association. The
spacious galleriesof the society on Fifth avenne.
New York, were well filled with pictures of an
unusual degree of excellence, and there was a
notable absence of pretentious and careless
work. Tho latter fact was as agreeable
as noteworthy, and indicates that the members
of the society have settled down to a straight
forward and conscientious line of work, which
will reflect credit on themselves and the school
of art which they represent. The "Webb"
prize of J300 was awarded to D. W. Troyon. for
his picture entitled "The First Leaves." The
conditions of tbe competition for this priza
were that tbe pictures should be landscapes,
painted by Americans under 33 years of age.
Some persons who buy fine pictures are fond
of having tbe fact heralded about, and tbe
more generally it is known by tboso around
them tbe better pleased they are. Others,
again, and they constitute the great majority
of buyers, purchase works of art as they do
anything else, principally for their own gratifi
cation, and consult their own pleasurein doing
so, tnougn u tne worn ne a ceieDratcd one, and
its sale a matter of public interest, they have
no objections to letting the circumstances con
nected with it be known. But there
Is a class of buyers, happily not the
most numerous one, who bide from the
general public the lact that they have
purchased a picture as carefully as though it
were something to be ashamed of, and they in
struct the dealers from whom tbey buy, to on
no account allow the fact to become known.
It Is somewhat difficult to assign a reason for
such secretiveness, as tbe interest taken by the
public in fine art works is a healthy and ration
al interest, and does not arise from idle curl
osity or inqulsitlveness. When celebrated
pictures are known to be in the vicinity, the
wish to know tbeir whereabouts Is only natur
al, and the satisfaction of such reasonable de
sires can in no way injure the possessors of the
works which excite snch interest.
To sat that a picture is one of Mr. Bryan
Wall's best. Is speaking of It in terms of con
siderable meaning to any one acquainted with
that artist's works. Tbe large marine view, at
present on exhibition at Gillespie's, may fair
ly be considered as one of tbebestho has yet
produced, and beside, that must be accorded
a high rank as a work of art. Tho subject is a
scene on Block Island, looking seaward over a
beach, tbe leading characteristic of which con
sists of innumerable rough stakes driven into
the sand. Several old boats are stranded upon
the beach; one of them, in tbe immediate fore
ground, becomes a feature of leading interest
from its size and position, and also from the
fact that tbe figure of a man is seen seated be
neath its prcw. Tbe color scheme of this work
leans decidedly toward gray, but it is ot a
warm, pleasant tone and thoroughly in keep
ing with the character of the scone depicted.
I Tbe sky, which is overcast with clouds, with
tne exception oi tne portion wnicn is iar on
toward the horizon, whero a strip of clear blue
becomes visible, is one ef tho points of first
merit about the work, botb in itself and in tbe
manner in which it harmonizes with the bal
ance of the picture. Only too often a fiat coat
of gray paint is made to do duty for a cloudy
sky, but In tbis instance duo attention bas been
paid to the proper modeling of the cloud forms,
and it involves no strain upon tbo imagination
to suppose that they represent masses of watery
Vapor tossed about by tho wind.

PIXTsBURG WILL BE A DANGEROUS
PLACE TO LIVE IN THIS SUMMER.
A Physician's Opinion on the Subject.
"I have been a Pittsburger, man and boy,
for 50 odd years, bnt I never saw things so
ripe for an epjdemicof typhoid fevtr, dysen
tery, cholera morbus nnd a host of
other diseases of the alimentary canal
and general system. The water we
now have, and will have all
summer is, I know irom my own analysis,
sufficient to canse a pestilence of the most
terrible description. Besides this, for one
purpose or another, the streets are being
torn up, excavating for building going on,
everywhere laying bare that stratum of
gravel which for a century has been used
-is a sewer and drain. X would advise
every one who can do so to get out of the
citv for tbe summer."
Tbe foregoing are the remarks of one of
the oldest physicians in the city, who de
clined to give his name for publication.
JVo one doubts the soundness of the med
ical man's advice; but the question arises:
"Where can the Pittsburg business man
go, and get, for himself and his family, all
the advantages of the country, and still not
neglect bis business?"
There is but on place, viz: Idlewood
Hotel and cottages.
Idlewood, a beautiful suburb of Pitts
burg, is located five miles from the city, on
the Panhandle Railroad, and "is as free from
the murky atmosphere of Pittsburg as if
located in Yellowstone Park," as Mr. Sie
berieck, ot the Chronicle Telegraph, re
marked. The proximity of Idlewood to the city,
and the fact that, at moderate cost, business
men and their families can enjoy all the
pleasures ofrustic surroundings there while
keeping tbeir business hours with the same
facility ns if living ia the city, makes it a
permanent favorite.
Hundreds of miles may be traversed and
thousands of dollars spent in traveling to
and sojourning at fashionable watering
places, jvitti less enjoyment or real benefit
than that derived from a few months' stay
at Idlewood.
The hotel and cottages are supplied with
the pnrest mountain spring water, whose
health-giving and curative properties are
widely known.
Take a train at Union station, Pittsburg,
and go out to see Idlewood; it is only 20
minutes ride, and you will not regret the
trip. If, however, this is inconvenient, call
at Jos. Longhrey & Sons. 438 Wood street,
