Thirty paintcre, some of them Americans, are
excitedly daubing away at Ecouen. Ecouon is
the name of a village four leagues north of Paris.
It is not upon any rAway station, and you can
not go there when it rains (which is always) on
account of the mud, and becanso the stago-coacn
is certain to be full. Ecouen is thus more com
pletely detached from tho world than Laputa,
the Flying Island. JVhen any Imprudent mortal,
therefore, strays irift'Laputa (or Ecouon) he im
mediately becomes the centre of an excited buzz.
The Americans there, especially,oxert the national
enridsity, fasten upon the stranger, stare, give
him the rarest Spanish wines they have,to see the
effect of stimulants on the new animal, et cetera.
Ten to one the stranger likes it. .
Mv friend, whom I went thither to see)had left
•without my knowledge. It made no difference.
Stranger Lapntans of friendly manners throw
themselves upon me all the same, stared, and
filled me with the almost unattainable wines. A
fresh stranger delivered over to tholr experiments
was a windfall. And tho stranger liked It.
“Wd are a very little village,” said Bacon, a
talented yonng painter not Unknown.in Boston
and Philadelphia, “and yon know what little
villages are. While we are painting, onr wives
are adjusting us all In cliques. Ido not visit at
court. By court you understand thefamily.of
Frerc, the genre painter and monarch of Ecouen.
I belieVe there Is a difference, or a coldness, or
something, though I have forgotten the point: it
is said that Mme. been a .”
“Cook. I suppose. Mme. Ingres waS* cook,
and Mme. Rembrandt wasa cook. All painters’
wives are cooks, "said I, generalizing, to showing
information.
“Yes, a cook, certainly. She has been exceed
ingly handsome, however; there is her portrait,
which I made one evening (showing a graphic
sketch of a lady of the ‘Madame Mdre’
type), before my defection. These
differences .and scandals permeate the
lowest clasdhs of had a donkey—
the loveliest nonkey you ever saw In your life;
excessively furry, tail like a blind-tassel, and a
shade of blue about the nose never attained by a
Nova Scotian. When coming home with my
marketing, a little'excited with too much cab
bage On the back, and advancing backwards (a
pretty eccentricity he had), I have known him to
strike attitudes (against a. window 1 , perhaps,)
that Landseer would have crossed tho channel to
•witness. Well, Ned has just died, in the stable
under my studio. And what do you think they
say. the oilier donkeys? I mean the few villagers
who are not either painters or painters’ models.
The hisds here say I killed Ned!”
Indignation was expressed by the audience.
•‘They say that I didn’t know how to feed him,
and that I practically starved him to death. The
donkey, who was my pet, my capital, my model,
my friend, my br— excusez, the thought unmans
me. Who could accuse me of neglect that had
ever seen my portfolio? I have painted Ned in
<everv attitude—on his hind legs, on his fore
legs, or diminishing with my marketing in aerial
perspective. My sympathies followed him to
the bitter end. In his dying hour he happened
to give vent to a pecniiar gesture of the off-ham-
string that has never been canght by Rosa Bon-
heur or any of them. Employing a boy to ex-
tend the hoof—
“Here,” continued the new Parrhasins,fetching
a canvas, and I may seize the moment to say that
X am narrating a true Incident, just as it was told
to me. ‘‘Here 1b my sketch for a large painting,
•which I think will achieve my reputation. Ned
is dying, with that naif movement of the hind
leg. The old village doctor' is pouring the drench
down his throat. lof course omitted the Boy,
who would have been quite out of keeping
fancy donkeys dying with Boys flying about at
tached like bnll dogs to the hind-legs! Ho was a
resolute rascal, though, and adhered to the ani
mal liko a monkey-wrench. Hois tho cleverest
non-painting person in Econen, and' deserves a
portrait; I have taught him a little English—it is
very little, yet he already lies in it with the same
facility as in his native tongue. I am
almost sorry I did not introduce him in 6omo
comer—an'inventive dog like that, repleto with
eupsedness of the purest water, makes such a
.sharp contrast to the virginal but bounded indi
viduality of the donkey! If I can find a place
for the Boy, my Donkey will cause Sterne’s to be
forgotten! To rnako amends for the mission,
however, I cut the Doctor out of whole cloth. I
hadn’t any Doctor. Nothing interrupted the si
lence of the little Btable but the creaking of my
oascl as I worked furiously on, and the action of
the gentle invalid, constantly ejaculating tho Boy
into a fresh corner. As the lethal struggles
ceased, my own position became lesß perilous,
and I could finish gradually nearer and nearer.
So that by tho time I reached tho hoof—tho hoof
itself, dear sir! was forever stilled! ”
I praised the design, which I thought very
prpmWbg, and which I hope you will some day
see expanded into a great painting. I remarked
that it told the story well.
“Ah, telling the story, that is what I think my
forte! Borne of tho Frenchmen here, on the con
trary, think it wy futile! They say that a picture
should not be a story, but a ‘motive’—an instan
taneous effort of attention, as the event passos
before the eye."
“That is an exact expression of the French
theory, I believe. It appears to me to come
partly from the national lack, of inventiveness—
they tell no story, because in most cases they
have none to tell. You must have been struck
■6ith their poverty of thought when their pictures
were all hung side by side at the Exposition—
hardly ideas enough to cover one of Michael An
gelo’s little modeling-boardß! while in the Eng
lish continuation of the circle, on the contrary,
■the amazing childishness of technical execution
was often redeemed in part by the maturity of
the idea.”
“Well! as for me,” said Bacon, and I put it
down against his name as a good expression of
the theory 1 believe m, “I always try to paint
with the French know-how, at the, same time in
dulging my Anglo Saxon prerogative of thinking
over my work.”
The painter, at this point, produced a charm
ing little series of four, called The Story of the
Four Seasons.
“A French critic told me that I must never
exhibit them without a column of newspaper
explanation for each. I think them simple
enough. Herein number one, Jiou see”— l pre
fer to describe the pictures in tho artist’s own
words, when I can recollect them, in preference
- to myown—fcare my IJttle Adam and Eve, at tho
age of ten, going to school under the apple
blossomb. In number two they have reached
school, and are about to learn the lesson of Eden.
Eve, you observe, is furtively extending the apple
to her helpmeet, when the domible’s back
is turned. Number three is autumn, all riot
and conviviality. The apple of Knowledge la
doing its work in the brain of my little hero and
heroine, and has tempted them to the elder
barrel, where they are imbibing more titan Is
good for them through the pastoral vehicle of
straws. In the fourth picture, 1 illustrate the
’ winter of my young Adam’s discontent. He has
greedily taken the apple, too warm this time
for'We tender years, off the stove, and has
skinned his palate with it. Adam roars Uke
a little calf, and Eve accompanies in soprano."
The pictures were really very pretty. After re
marking upon these artistic qualities, I presently
said: s
“Bnt your moral ie very- sombre.”
“Ah!—that, I suppose, is again my Anglo-
Saxon prerogative ”

Nk\v Oiu.fans, Feb. Ift.—l have hesitated
about saying anything of the weather, for it
forms so dreadfully common-place a topic that
one must needs always apologize for allusions to
it—but then wo are having such delicious weather
here, and mayhap you are not equally blessed,
and 1 may tantalize you, and that'6 human na
ture,and humnn nature will out—and so on to the
end of the chapter. Delicious weather, I said; why,
that don’t half describe it to you winter-racked
folk. Just lo'ok at the record of yesterday: at
(> o’clock A. M., the thermometermnrked 45, at 1.
M., CO deg.; at .8 P. M., CG deg., and at 8 P. M.,
04 deg. The spring has so far advanced tliat
the trees in Lnfuyetlc square are budding, and
the green grass is springing up throughout the
city. The weather has stimulated the baso ball
clubs to action, and the first of a scries of games
for the championship has been played by the
Southern and Lone Star Clubs. In this
game the score stood—Southern, 27; Lone Star,
15. The “shell" drives for the past few days have
been ftill of life.
The health of the city is comparatively good.
Thero were eighty-six deaths for the week ending
on Bnnday last, as reported by the Board of
Health.
The Reconstruction Convention has reached its
sixty-seventh day. Some of the citizens find
much fault because it is getting so aged. A week
or ten days ago the articles of constitution,
adopted one by one, were given to the committee
on style for revision. The chairman of this com
mittee offered a report accompanied by printed
copies of the constitution. In the report many
alterations, and pven additional articles were re
commended, and in the printed copies some of
thesm articles had actually been inserted. After
the reading of tho report, five of the committee
protested against it, stating that it had never
been submitted to them. The report was there
fore re-committed, and as much of “the-ground
must again be fought over, the time of the ad
journment may not bo predicted.
JThe Germah opera troupe, which of late has so

Little other stago news.
Tho cotton market, which for some time has
been buoyant, is still firm and advancing. Prices
were even higher yesterday than hitherto, owing
to favorable advices from Liverpool and New
York, and the total sales amounted to 0,500 bales.
On Monday 11,000 bales wero sold the
largest sales, with two exceptions, since the close
of the war. The aggregate sales for the past three
days' amount to 25,100 bales, against 21,100 bales
for the corresponding days ot last week. The
clearances during the ■ last three days included
1,287 bales coastwise, and 10,012 bales for foreign
ports.
Business on the landing has, of late, been quite
brisk, and is now greatly accelerated by the many
arrivals from the tributaries of the Mississippi.
Notwithstanding the depressions of trade, real
estate seems to maintain its full value, as indi
cated by recent sales.
[Forthe Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
Obstructed Kaadi<
Several articles have appeared in the
city papers, commenting on a bill read in place
In the Legislature by Colonel Clark, of Philadel
phia, providing for the removal of obstructions
in the roads in the rural districts, and as tho
writers of those articles are evidently misin
formed about the facts of the case, an explana
tion may be of advantage to,«U concerned.
Col. Clark never saw the bill, nor had any
knowledge of its import nntil he received it at
Hanlsburg, where he presented-it to the Legisla
ture In obcdienco to the request of a large number
of his constituents. No railroad officer, stock
holder or any one connected with a railroad over
saw the bill or knew of its contents nntil it was
presented-to a large meeting of the citizens of the
rural districts, held at Bustleton, and adopted by
Ihem without alteration. So much for' tho unjust
and unwarrantable aspersions cast on Col. Clark,
and about the railroad interference. Tho citizens
of Ihe rural districts have suffered sufficient in
jury from tho neglect of the proper authorities,
to make out their own case, without calling in tho
aid of outside parties.
The roads in the adjoining districts of Bucks
and Montgomery are regularly opened by tho
Supervisors, when obstructed by snow, and no
one complains of the expense; on the contrary,
the citizens appear to like it, for they compel the
Supervisor to do his duty, and the law of the
State defines opening tho roads when obstructed
by snow to be one ot his duties. In the early
days of consolidation, tho Highway Department
always opened the roads, when obstructed i>y
snow, and no fault was found with Hie fact or
the expense, but in later times the Department
bus neglected this matter, and this winter
declined to do anything, notwithstanding
some of tho main or leading roads
have been impassable for weeks. Tho turnpikes
are regularly opened by the companies owning
them. The whole community suffered by the
stoppage of the roads, and Councils wero peti
tioned to afford relief; but no attention was paid
to the matter, except to refer the petition to the
Highway Committee, where it still remains; yet
Councils very promptly appropriated flvo hun
dred dollars to clear the snow off the pavements
around the public squares, a 6Utn sufficient to do
all that tho citizens of the rural districts deßiro
them to do. Failing to obtain relief from
Councils, the opinion of eminent counsel
was obtained, to the effect that there was no law
to compel tlio authorities *of the city to open
when obstructed, or repair any road in the city,
and the only remedy was to apply for legislative
enactment. The citizens of the rural districts
pay their full share of taxes, and all they ask is
that some attention be paid to their necessities.
Snow lying eighteen inches deep is not an ob
struction complained of, but where it Is three or
lour feet deep, and suffered to lie in the roads for
weeks, as hns been the ease this winter, thore is an
obstruction that calls for the attention of the High
way Department. Roads in this condition cannot
be used, and private property is invaded and de
stroyed by those whose business requires them
to travel. The assertion that horses and carts
are required to open roads when obstructed by
snow is an absurdity, as they are never used,
and only shows the ignorance of the writers; and
so docs tho talk about “big jobs,” “juicy affairs,”
&e. There has not been a year since consolida
tion when one thousand dollars would nothave
made every road in the rural districts passable
[when obstructed by Bno w, and this sum wdbld not
afforded a very “big streak of fat” to those
concerned. There are some matters in the city
that have a slight appearance- of-being ‘juicy";
witness League Island, Gray’s Ferry bridge,
Chestnut Street bridge and Girard Avenue bridge, I
involving a cost of hundreds of thousands of
dollars to theCitv Treasury, to 6ay nothing about
the contemplated. South Blreetbridge,and the con
templated expenditure of about:; hail' a million
by the Park Commissioners. To all of theso ex
penditures and proposed expenditures the citi
zens of the rural districts do not object,although
paying their full proportion of tije expense,
and having no more pecuniary interest In them
than tho citizens of Montgomery county. Tho
public has traveled through the farm of the
I writer «if this article three-fourths of a mile, for
two months, this winter, because tho adjoining
read wbb impassable on account'®! “the great
depth of snow in it. This has been the case In
many other instances. Persons havinghad cart
ing to do have had to travel miles ant of their
way to perform their work.
Is this right? If the city is afraid of the ex
pense of keeping the roads so that they can be
used, let the rural districts elect their own super
- visors, collect the tax, and pay. the expense of re-'
pairing or opening the roads, as best suits them,
and there will be no complaint But there is no
portion of the commnnlty who will bo satisfied'
to have their just complaints treated In the man
ner the citizens of the rural districts have been
in this matter of enow drifts. If the proposed
bill is liable to a different construction from what
was intended, amend it.- -

' , 11 Fire—An Elegant 'Dwelling
Destroyed.— I Thle niornlnfr, at about a quarter
before three o’clock, a lire wae discovered In a
large and elegant four-storied brick dwelling, No.
306 South-Thirteenth Btreet. The houso is owned
and occupied by Mr. E. Wilson, and was fur
nished throughout in the most complete and
costly manner. Tho flames originated in the
dining-room on the first floor of the back build
ing, and spread rapidly through that part of the
house. The police and neighbors wero promptly
alarmed, bnt thero was considerable delay in giv
ing a signal from the Washington cnglno house,
and when the firemen got upon tho ground 'the
fire was raging furiously. From tho nick build
ing the Haines woiked' their way to the front
staircase, then ascended with great rapidity to
the lop of the building. The second, third and
fourth storios were entirely burned out, and the
roof was destroyed. In fact, the house was com
pletely wrecked. Scarcely anything in the
building was saved. Tho parlor and hall furni
ture waß hastilv removed," and was greatly da
maged. Mrs. Wilson and daughter and two
colored si rvant-women wero in the house at tho
time of the fire. The flames wero first discovered
by one of the servants, butthey spread so rapidly
that the inmates had barely time to escape from
the burning structure. Mrs. Wilson and claugbtor
lost all their personal effects, including jewelry
and many valuable and highly prized articles.
Some silverware was rescued from the ruins after
the fire had been extinguished.
The bfcuse was valued at $16,000, and was in
sured for $6,000 in the Enterprise Insurance
Company. The insurance will not be sufficient
to cover the loss. The furniture was Insured for
$6,000 in the Royal Insurance Company—an
amount which will not cover the loss.
The dwelling adjoining, No. 308, erected at the
samo time, and In the same manner as No. 306,
was somewhat damaged by fire, and was badly
injured by water. Thls houso Is owned and oc
cupied by Geo. Eslor. It Is insured for $6,000 in
the Enterprise Insurance Co., which will more
than cover the loss. The furniture of Mr. Esler
was seriously damaged by water, and is not in
sured. . . ,
The fire is supposed to have originated from a
defective flue. Fire Marshal Blackburn is inves
tigating the matter.
Information Wanted.— Mayor MeMlchacl this
morning recoived a letter from Bernards Kelly,
of Indianapolis, Indiana, asking infdtmation in
regard to tho relatives of a young man named
Frank S. Custis, who is lying seriously ill with
brain fever in that city. Mr. Onstis is a dentist
by proiession, but is connected with the revenue
oflico in Indianapolis. His mother is bolioved to
be residing on a farm within ten miles of Phila
delphia, and he has a brother, an attorney-at-law,
either in Philadelphia or Now York.
Larceny of Cigars.— Conrad Freund was ar
rested at New Market and Poplar streets,
upon the charge of tho larceny of cigars. He
went to filestore of Carl Linck, No. 43T Green
street, and represented that his employer had
sent lor a box of fine cigars'. A boy was sent
with the cigars, and I’rennd snatched them from
him in a saloon at Third and Green streets, and
escaped by a back door. The accused was taken
before Aid. Toland, and was held is $l,OOO bail
to answer at Court.
Dishonest Employe:— A colored inan named
William Wilkins was arrested last evening for the
larceny of glassware from the store of George
W. Pauilin, at Ninth .and South streets,
He had been employed by Mr. Paullio to do small
jobs about the place. Wilkins was committed
by Alderman Swift. 1 ___
Si.ight Fire.— This morning, about 7 'o’clock,
a fire occurred at Laids & Co.’s coal oil refinery,
Bt. Davids street, below Vine, The damage done
was trifling. ' .
An Oi.d Quack on the Gridiron. —If you want

nostrum creuted so much smart on the surface that
they did not feel anything irat tire. Dr. Wolcott has
taken these men by the breeches and turned them in
side out, and they iye to-day the laughing-stock or tho
community—nobody to buytheir moldy physic pills that
they lffflftirep.ired for fools’ stomachs—none to bay
their liquids, for a child once burned is quite satisfied.
These men howl like lost demons, und beg their
victims to purchase the balance of their stock. Of
course they curie Dr. Wolcott and ids Pain Paint as
the source of all their misery. But the Doctor laughs
in his sleeve to see them kick and bite to get out of
the net he caught them in so nicely, and the public
will get enongh en'ortalument and tun to drive away
dvspcps'a and the bltteß until skating is over In the
meantime Dr. Wolcott’s rotail sales average over $2OO
