Pabis, June 2,1868. —The Palais do l'lndastrlo
for the prccent week has become a Horticultural
Exposition, bnt the exhibition of paintings began
on the first of May will be resumed on theloth
of Junc. The paintings and sculpture' of living
artists only are admitted to this exhibition, and
it Is the dream of every student of the fine arts
to see his work displayed at the spring salons and
receive the medal that France awards to every
one who proves worthy, without regard to nation
or sex. Two.thousond five hundred and eighty
seven paintings, besides oyer 8,000 designs, litho
graphs,engravings and pieces of.sculpture, appear
this year, and our" American students have, been
most generously treated, by the committee.; The
contributlonsof Hazeltine, Cole, Bacon, Ramsay,
Miss Stevenson' andf Miss Haldeman, the last
three Philadelphians, attract universal attention
and admiration. The pictures of Mr. Howard
Hclmick, of Philadelphia,' ore ao mlnntely and
elegantly finished that they deserve' special men
tion, ns they receive the mo3f flattering praises
from 'the admirers of the Flemish, and French
schools. In design his pictnres have the ease,
grace and truth to nature of ;the French, while
in finish they are os careful' os most of the pro
dnctlona of German artiste that in the galleries
of Dresden rank as first of their school.
All the paintings,are placed In equally good
positions, the light being so disposed, os it enters
through fivehundred and ninety-eight large win
dows and is transmitted to the ground floor
through rectangular skylights, that, each group’
is displayed under most favorable auspices. Over
the doors of the salons are the letters correspond
ing with the initials of the exhibitors, and by
ihls.capltal arrangement one can walk straight
to the galleries con taming the works ot friends
without first wearying the eyes and feet in search
of them through rows of miscellaneous and
sometimes Indifferent paintings. Not more than
two workß are accepted from one artist, and only
those who have received five medals, including
the first or gold medal, can enter them without
inspection and approval of the committee or
j nry chosen by the vote of all the artists. Those
marked “Exempt" are Invariably excellent, no
favoritism being possible under the regulations
so fairly determined on.
After four or five visits' to the gal
leries and the greatest enjoyment in the
company of a number of American and
French artists, to whom I had the pleasure
of being introduced, I accepted an invitation to
visit the artists in their homes and see how our
American students live in order to accomplish
the great ends to which their ambition aspires.
The day appointed was the beginning of a Spring
fete, the place a village about nine miles
from Paris, called Econen. As the
cars were crowded with friends
and relatives of the villagers and country people
for miles around, I chose a first-class car, and
amused mj self with copying off the following
translation of a notice printed, on porcelain In
French, German and English, over a small tri
angnlar glass case, inserted in the partition be.
tween the carriages, which contained a ring that
was fastened to a rope or wire communicating
with the bell on the engine.*
“Signal Bei-i-”
“Should any extraordinary case require the
presence of the guard, passengers are requested
to break the glass with their elbow, draw down the
ring, and agitate their arms through the right hand
window, according to the direction .of the train.
Any passenger having called without reason
able cause will be liable to prosecution,”
Fortunately, there was no occasion to use my
elbow for such a purpose, and I only speculated
on, without the necessity of practically trying the
efficacy Of “ agitating mg arms out of the window
of a train running thirty miles an hour. The
whole way, on both sides of the track,presented
a series of groves, gardens and grain fields In the
loveliest May dress, and peasants, in costumes of
the brightest colors, resting In the most pictu
resque attitudes, to gaze after the flying train
completed one of those scenes that seem to be
long only to picture galleries, to those who have
never crossed tho ocean and visited the old
world.
Reaching the station of Villlers-le-Belle, I hur
ried with the crowd to secure a place in the dili
gence for Ecouen, and after the mashing of toes
and “ Mesdames, Messieurs,” were
over, we started at a break-neck rate through as
beautiful a district of country as could be found
anywhere in the world. The rich green 'foliage
of wild chestnut trees, mingled wlth more deli
cate tints of the drooplng-wlllows, old oaks,
sturdy centurions that have witnessed the return
of ns many seasons as there are dead kings and
princes lying in the vaults of Saint Denis in the
distance; the odor of sweet violets, tuberoses,
mlgnoßette and lilles-of-the-valley, that grow
wild on the roadside; the singing of birds;, the
sweet voices of joyous children, in white dresses
and gay ribbons, hasting to the fete; peasant
boys In blue blouses and hob-nailed boots; young
girls with caps frilled and Bklrts bordered
with stripes of every hue, displaying bright
colored stockings and foot encased in pretty laced
boots—the hamlets overgrown with ivy, and at
the entrance to every street of the village, at the
top of every hill, and on both sides of each en
trance to the woods where the/efe was celebrated,
painted May-poles, with the French colors flying
from them, in red, white and blue streamers,
made up a scene that no pen could picture, and
excited emotions that no tongue could describe.
Reaching the diligence station, at Ecouen, the
driver, on his high box in front of the stage,
touched a spring, under his foot, the,door flew
open, and os’we all scrambled out he blew a
tremendous blast on a large horn that called out
the shop-keepers and servants of gentlemen who
had commissioned him to bring p arcels and boxes
from Paris.
Following a long double line of Bchool-boys,
French gentlemen’s sons, in dress coats and
beavers, like little men cut down, and a great
wagon loaded with every utensil for household;
and.farm use, so skillfully arranged as todisplay
the wares most tempting to housekeepers and .
farmers, without concealing the incredible:
amount of things piled on one wagon, like a
caravan shop, I reached the cottage occupied by
Mr.Helmick. While hie.wife, baby and the nurse;;
were preparing for the fete, he conducted me to
the studios of artists already mentioned, as well:
ns to those ot Mr. Schenek,from Holstoin, before;
whoso "Autour de Tauge," at the Exposition, thej
Princess Mathilda held the' Emperor prisoner, to;
help her decide on purchasing, it. The picture:
consists’of portraits of seven donkeys around a;
trough of water, their faces only presented, the;
water streaming from , their . mouths, and;
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1868,
each visage bearing a mlxturo of tho grave and
comical expression so characteristic of the don-'
key tribe, that - one is affected very peculiarly on :
~ first looking at the picture, and struck, with the
wonderful power of the artist in giving .seven;
portraits of the same animal.so entirely distinct
in characteristics and all so true to life. The
artist has received all tho medals and nas in
his studio pictnres that have been exhibited,
marked “exempt,” as well as a great number of
unfinished new ones.' The most beautiful are
flocks of sheep in landscapes, taken from South
ern France, with, skieS that are to bo found only
neitr the Mediterranean, and peasants whose
every : movement makes an wrUstle
Finishing our inspection of tire studios with. a
.visit to M. Frdrc, who has gained all the. medals
awarded, first, second, and third, and is hors con
court at the Exposition; admiring his Interior
of churches, hamlets and rains; his landscapes
and figures, that a versatile talent and great,in
dustry-have produced, we were satisfied that
each arffsts as himself, M; Schenck and other
masters living in the tillage, were flt teachers'for
the twenty or thirty American etadents of art
who have clustered .around. them. In Mr. Hel
mlck’s studio we found .unfinished pic
tures, promising great merit f One is a subject
well chosen arid treated in'a; moßt artistic man
ner: ' “The Letter from America," read' by a
young, hopeful peasant to a group of listeners
who betray, csednllty, joy. gipve and anxious ex
pectation, hope and sullen donht, according! to
their experiences In a land where fortunes are
never realised by the lower classes, and .by those
who cannot fancy the emulation that
rouses the ambition, . and the
success that rewards tho efforts of their
wandering children in the world of promise— ,
America! The two pictnres pn .exhibition are
highly esteemed, but I could not help regretting
that “The Letter from America” was not one of
them. It is to be hoped Ihc purchaser,lf American,
will place it in one of our Art Galleries, for the
enjoyment of those who appreciate the talent
that seeks improvement In old countries, bnt
never Ignores the merits ,of the new rising conn

As this letter has reached more than the' nsnal
length, I must close it, leaving the file for my

ECEOFEM AFFAIRS
LETTER FBOifl PABIS.
[Uorreepondenee of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, ]
Paris, Friday, June 5, 1868. I ought
scarcely to mention, peshaps, the ' foolish
report .to which pnbliclty was given by. that
ultra imperialist organ, the Pays, of the arrest of
two "suspicious” individuals at Rouen, Who were
supposed to meditate an attempt on the life of the
Emperor. There is not a word of truth in tho
statement, and for once ' the affirmation o 1
the iloniteur to that effect may be relied
on. The times are passed for the
occurrence of snch incidents, and unless any
one could be found, blood-thirsty enough to
desire to assassinate Napoleon 111. for being a
free-trader, there Is little now either in the acts or
policy of that “good, easy man” to provoke any
one to lift his hand against him. It is not ani
mosity which the Emperor of the'French has
now to apprehend on the part of his versatile
subjects, so much as—an other feeling!
Serious pleasure, and even serious business, Is
almost over In Paris for the present season, and
ihat at an unusually early,period.. All our grand
salons are now closed;the Tuileries are as good as
shnt up, and the Court on the verge of a flight
either to St. Cloud or Fontainebleau,or both—one
at a time,that is; for, as a British (or Irish) peer i,
reported once to have said in the Upper House
‘ ‘even a Lord can’t be in two places at once—like a
bird !” Prince Napoleon, too, is off on his sum
mer rambles to Southern Germany; and, it - is
said, afterward to the East. And so, also, Is the
Princess Mathilde, who dismissed on Sunday
last her motley court of literati and beaux esprits
and withdrew to the shades of her summer Villa at
St. Gratien. I don’t know whether M. Thier.-
has abandoned the Budget as hopeless. But h
has entirely abandoned his town residence, and
gone off to St Germain for the rest of the session.
M. Guizot, looking still hide and hearty and
full of life, and talking less of his seventy-seven
years, than M. Thiers does of his seventy, has
retired to the snug retreat of his old age at Val
Richer,after superintending and writing a preface
to his daughter’s, Mine. Cornelia do Witt’s trans
lation of Qneen Victoria’s Journal. Onr
prosy Senate has snnk into a silence not likely to
be again broken. The Corps Legislatif has just
done a useful hit of work by reducing the rate 4
of telegraphic despatches to half a franc (ten
cents) within the limits of the same department,
and a franc within the limits of the Empire.
What has not the world to thank Professor Morse
for! A letter, signed George Harvey, addressed
from London to onr American Continental Gazette
in this city, and entitled “Honor to whom honor
>s due,” .recalls, aptly— apropos to present dis
putes on the' subject—how, as far back
as 1820, Professor ■ Morse, in one of his voyages
to England, in the cabin, after dinner, “demon
strated his theory by exciting a piece of sealing
wax by rubbing it on his coat-sleeve, and then,
touching a knitting needle, Bhowed at once the
principles of attraction and repulsion at the op
posite end. “Here,” adds the writer truly, “yon
have, in a few words, the origin of the great and
useful application of electricity to telegraphy.”
All that now remains for tho Corps Legis
latif to do is to vote money.' The report on the
Loan has been presented, and the Commission
proposes to reduce it from four hundred and
forty to four hundred and eleven millions; a
proposal to which the government refuses to
yield its assent The Chamber must, therefore,
decide, and will probably do so by a compro
mise. ..But neither the country nor the money
market : seem to trouble themselves much about
such a trifle as twenty or thirty millions, more
or less. Do not the ■ coffers of tho Bank of
France regorger at this very moment with a sum
of one thousand two hundred millions of unem
ployed capital!
The opening of the Havre International (?)
Maritime Exposition’on Monday last, the first of
Jnne, seems to have been a, very doll affair, and
promises badly for the success of the undertak
ing. Accounts say that the Exhibition becomes
more and more a. mere copy in miniature of tha 1
of Paris; but, of course,;immeasurably inferior,
and proportionably less attractive. The public
is; in fact; satiated just how with such things;
and can very well afford to wait for the American
Universal Exhibition of 1875!
• The Monttevr of this morning announces that
the difference with the Bey of Tunis is at an end,
and that the French Consul has remounted hi 9

' When describing, a short time ago, ths show
of horses oi the Hippie Society at Paris, I men
tioned the rage for, velocipedes which-bad taken
possession of all ranks of the population. The
teste, for these hobby-horses has gone on Increas
ing to such a length that at last the .“Ad ministra
tion". (which • looks after, everything), has, been
obliged to forbid their appearance In the Bois dc
Boulogne, or: at least In those ' parts
of thc public promenades whichare moat
crowded, and frequented, ; Tho velocipede
question, ; indeed, has ■■ become quite
serious, and has even led to an official communique
addressed to a favorite journal.' Tho Fyjaro un
dertook the defence of the velocipedltes, and pro
tested against the. tyranny of their being forbid

the Faiisian (eag monde; and the“Admlnlstration”

du velocipede (as the government coils them) have
betaken themselves to the safer and cooler re
gions of ' the Park of 8t- Cloud; and
there, on Sunday last, in ' tho. presence
of a new description of ’‘sporting world,” “velo
cipede” races actually ' took place. Instead
of the pedigrees of the “horses,” their “dimem.
slons” were given; the,“mounts” varying from 90
centimetres to one metre.. One race was for the
swiftest; tbc other for the slowest; the latter
being won by the rider who conld contrive to
arrive last by moving; most slowly without los
ing his balance and capsizing altogether. There
were prizes of gold, silver and bronze medals
and the Mayor of 8t Cloud presided! What a
wonderful people these French are! And, is it
to be wondered at that, in 1815, the Dnke of
Wellington and old Blncher wore seen, when In
Paris, riding side by side on cock-horses in a
merry-go-round! '

[Rome (May SO) Correspondence of the Fall Mall Ga
Mon signor Haynold, Archbishop of Koloiza, in
Hungary, the friend and confidant of the Em
peror of Austria, recently arrived hero with, an
autograph letter from his Imperial Majesty to the
Pope, and charged with a secret mission. Some
tune ago the Emperor, through Count Crivelli
E remised the Holy Father that he would with
old his sanction from the new religious, laws
passed by the Austrian Chambers, and his letter
informs 'his Holiness that he has been
obliged to give way on the question, as
the public fcenng it excited left him no alterna
tive but abdication. The object of the Archbishop
of Koloiza was to reconcile the Pope to this de
jection, and he has done his best in the matter,
having had several interviews with the Holy
Father, and pleaded his cause with great earnest
ness. The eloquent prelate presented to His
.Holiness-the evils which would result from the
Emperor’s abdication, dwelling particularly on
the regency involved by the minority of his son,
pointing oat the uncontrolled power that
would thns be vested in hostile hands 5 and
entreated the Holy Father not only to
remit, the Emperor’s promise, but to give him
in this emergency the'benefit of that enlighten
ment which he received from Heaven. ..The
piety and submission of the descendant of Ru
dolph'of Hapßbnrg quite overcome the Pope, and
the Archbishop is now carrying to Vienna an
autograph letter from His Holiness, expressing
the deepest commiseration for the pitiable situa
tion Of the Emperor, and stating that the Pope
regards him as deprived of 'liberty, and not re
sponsible for the acts he is obliged to do; conse
quently, ho is not bonnd by them, and may be at
peace with his conscience, provided he deter
mines-to take advantage of the first opportunity
to abrogate each of the decrees as ore contrary to
the laws of God and the Chnrch. The Arch
bishop was so elated with this success that he'
announced it to the Emperor by telegraph before
he left Rome.

General Gram’s Departure—His Arri

[From to-day’s New Y ork Tribunal %
West Point, June 17.—At three o’clock this
afternoon the private carriage of Gen. Pitcher,
Superintendent, of Post, was ready to receive,
General and Mrs. Grant and their daughter, who 7
appeared a few minutes afterward upon the bal
cony of the hotel, and then descending the stair
case they entered the'carriage and were whirled
across the parade ground and down to the steam
boat wharf.' Quietly'and without parade the
General quitted West Point Let us pause and
think how most any other man high in authority
would have wished to moko his departure
from this historic place, and upon so/great an
occasion as the visiting of the officers of a naval
fleet announced. Such an one’s leaving the Post
would have been proclaimed mid thundering of
cannon from the Battery and the Fleet Riding
down through open ranks of soldiers at "present
arms,” followed by his staff elegantly uniformed
and mounted, with a troop oT orderlies and a*
squadron of cavaliy at their heels. Tho banners
in lines bending, as the Chief rode 0n... A special
steamer laying in the stream would receive Mm
on board |wfaile drums rolled and' cannon roar.
Yet all this pomp General Grant avoided, and,
like some private gentleman, rode quiotly to the
steamboat landing in the open carriage of Ms
friend,and awaited tho steamer from Albany with
other passengers.
The steamer Chauncey Vlbbard soon rounded
a bend in the rivet and shot like an arrow for
the wharf. The General took Ms wife’s hand and
led her toward the gang-plank of the steamer,
followed by General Pitcher with his daughter.
There-was a hurried hand-shoklhg between the
Generals as the plank was withdrawn, and the
steamer started for Now York. >
At the gathering ef the officers to-day to de
liver the diplomas, Gen. Grant’donned his uni
form for the first time since he arrived At the
post. Hecamedowii upon the balcony. The
stoop of the shoulder hod disappeared, and U. S.
Grant looked. every inch-the General of the
United States armies. On the way down the
river, on board the Yibbard,; Gen. Grant, lighting
a cigar, and taking a newspaper, sat down near the
guards and enjoyed the panorama that seemed
to’move before him. The string band on: board:
played national' airs while ha sat reading and
smoking. The newspaper bojywas selflhgbadgeß
of the General and suddenly coming up to the
smoker said “Grant badges 25 cents a: piece, good
likeness only twenty-live cents.” Grant put his

band Into Ms pocket and taking out a fifty cent
note handed It to the boy, took tho badge and
said “never mind the change,'.' and resumed , his .
cigar. Tho boy looked up to say "thank you,”
and recognized thc .Genefol, blushed and hastily
retreatea amid the smiles of lookers ou. At
dress parade to-night a huge assemblage of la
dles and gentlemen gathered. •;
After, the parade the gneets of the hotel take
seats on the balcony and look out upon the river,
,or join in the promenade. There Is batons topic
of conversation to-night, and that Is the grand
ball on board the Macedonian and Savannah to
morrow evening. . The Chauncey Vibbard, with
General Grant on board, arrived at New York at
a quarter before six. . <
.. Evening,—A grand display, of pyrotechnics
took place at 9 o'cloch this evening; witnessed by
a large concourse of. people; among them were
the midshipmen from, tne naval fleet and their
officers.' Some of the pieces were very beautifal
and Ingenious in their construction, one elegant
one, with our army aad'navy In large raised let
toffs, calling forth loud applause. ' After the fire
works several of the officers (and midshipmen
.proceeded' to Cozens’s Hotel to participate in a
nop.attbolplace. ,
THE ABBIVAL IN NEW YORK, AND DEPARTURE FOR
THE CAPITOL.
! • The Intelligence that General Grant would ar
rive in. tho city loat evening, ‘had preceded l him
only a few hours, and probably few . of our citi
zens were expecting him. And certainly there
was little flourish in the unpretending, plainly
dressed gentleman, who stepped on shore at the
foot of Dcsbrosses street, accompanied‘only by
Ms wife and daughter, that few would at first
have supposed him to be the greatest soldier of
the world and the President to-be of the United
States. The General passed on board tho Desbros-
Beßßtreet feiry-boat, to take tho o’clock Wash
ington' train, almost wholly Unrecognized' ex
cept by thosowho hod ,been his fellow-passen
gers from West Point. ■ After the , crowded
ferry-boat hod quitted tho dock, however, the
distinguished party were recognized by a few.
Tho intelligence flew through the crowd, and, in
a short time, the General, who was quietly puf
fing his cigar in the open air,' glad enough, evi
dently, to enjoy tho reireshing breeze in pleasant
obscurity, was surrounded by hundreds, who ap
peared to devour his greatness with eager eyes,
lie was, however, determined on not being lion
ized, and farther than good-naturedly returning
salutations, devoted himself to conversation with
his wife and daughter, and enjoying the river
scene around Mm, like any other man of com
mon sense who, at'times at least, prefers a
few hours of quiet enjoyment to the heat
and clamor of public, notice. It has been
Bald that “Some men ore born great, some
acMeve greatness, and some have great
ness thrust upon them.” That
Grant acMeved unparalleled ■ greatness
as a soldier is unquestioned; but it only re
quires a glance at the somewhat weary, bored
expression wMch invests Ms strong,many coun
tenance, to see that civil honors have been thrust
upon him, and that he has made up Ms mind to
bear them like a patriot. Bnt the public cannot
long remain considerate when they have their
idol in their mldßt, almost in their arms. As the
end of the boat .swung into the dock, abnriy
irishman whosat on one of tho,way chains, and
who had been eyeing thb hero'with varying emoL
tions, cried out at the top of his voice, "Three
cheers for Ulayse3 8. Grant, the hayxo of the
whole wnrruld!” The cheers were given spon
taneously, and with a will, and - the General
turned , lifted ghis hat, and. bowed his thanks,
and then unconcernedly resumed his conversa
tion with the lady at Ms side. But the news of
his presence leaped the water-space between
bridge and boat, passing swiftly through the
depot and out into the city, and the cheers were
heartily caught up by the hastily gathered
crowds, through which tho distiugufshed party,
not without some difficulty, made their way to
Taylor’s Hotel, immediately across tho street
from the depot, where they quickly found refuge
in private apartments. It was now 0.15 o’clock,'
—an hour and a quarter before the starting of the
train, yet in a very brief space of time, pro
bably before the weary travelers had
finished the discussion of their subper.
the hotel, bar-room and restaurant yjwere
filled and beset with a motley /throng,
eager to catch a glimpse of that soldier fade wMch
a hundred desperate victories in behalf of free
dom and the Union have taught us toYevere, arid
which a BtaiMess private character, p. pure and
patriotic life, have made us esteem and love. In
the meantime, of course, political discussions
were the order of the hour. To one who listened
to these, it would be surprising to find how wide
and universal is the esteem In /wMch Gen. Grant
is held by all classes. Of course, tho majority of
those present were of the Republican faith;
but there were Democrats also in num
bers, who were equally expressive of
their admiration for the great soldier of
the Union—the darling/Of the people. "Hore’s
to Gen. Grant!" “Success to the Hero of Appo
matox Court-House!’/ “Grant and tlio UMon !’-
“Grant and Colfax, forever.” Such were the’
toasts that were vDcifefatcd over .the ringing
counter of the bar( “Prapt,” “Grant,” “Grant”
—this was the name that was heard from every
knot of earnest Men, every deeply-engaged party
of a dozen or More. Finally, about 7jY o'clock,
Gen. Grant, Accompanied by his family, de
scended and made an ineffectual
attempt tp cross the street unobserved. It
would net do. The- crowd surged into
the street and ./around Mm. A hundred
hands—each with a heart in it—were
eagerly stretched forth to seize the hand
whleji had victoriously wielded the .nation’s
sworel. But the General was, sensibly enough,
mainly intent to be on railroad time. “General,”
exclaimed one l'nssy, inconsiderate fellow, push
ing forward, “what do you think of the present
political prospect?” “I don’t think of it at all at
present," was the reply. “My principal object
just now is to catch the train.” And passing de
terminedly forward, he did so. But the shrill
whistle of the engine, as the cars that bore him
WasMngtonwa.ro slowly rumbled out of the de
pot, was not sufficient to drown tho sturdy cheere
that bade him God-speed on Ms way.
THE GREAT GAINES LAWSUIT.
Letter front Mrs. Gaines.
[From tho New Orleana Bee, of the 151U.J
The rumor having been circnlated that a new
question had arisen in “the Gaines case,” wMch
would be contested by the present occupants,
namely, that tho said'occupants would be al
lowed their improvements.lt is proper that these
parties should understand the nature of the deci
sions of the highest court in relation to this mat
ter, in order to prevent farther unnecessary liti
gation. .
The question of allowing improvements was
strongly argned ip the Supreme Court of the
United States by Messrs. Brent and May, two of
the ablest lawyers that have been engaged against
me, and the reault.of the decision in this case al
lowed no improvements whatever to the con
testants, but, on the contrary, decreed, that !
should be placed in possession of mj property
and rccclvo back rents and profits.
The decree was sustained in' the Horirien case,
delivered in 1861, and indorsed by the Supreme
Court of the United States in April last, In its de
cision against the city of; New. Orleans and other
cases, that “tho question of law and fact applica
ble to her rights were determined in the case of
Gaines vs. Herinen.”: ’ . / "
“OFFER OF.'COMPROMISE. ' ’
“To tho Occupants of my Estate.—After thlrly
'fivo years of litigation,-which has terminated fully,
finally, tod in every particular, in my favor, by
the decision of the Supreme Coart of the United
States, rendered in April; 1868, I now again, as in
former years, reiterate my desiro to compromise
on liberal terms, and Invite all those who feel dis
posed to take aa vintage of .this, rayTast offer, to;
