Oct. 1868. ALFRED TENSION
•l'be r.ew President.
The following speculstious of the London
'Spectator on our President-elect and his pro-
bable policy are sagacious enough to be
interesting
Even now, that long and dreary interval of
Government by a calamitous Accident, from
which the United States have suffered for
three years and a half, has not quite come to
an end. General Grant is elected and Mr.
Johnson is condemned,—for Mr. Seymour,
who was a more hopeful candidate than Mr.
Johnson, and received all Mr. Johnson's sup
port, has been rejected by the people, and
M. Johnson personally was only not rejected
because he was not worth trying. Still, in
spite of this, in virtue of the strangest and
,eilliest subtlety of a too subtle Constitution,
for four weary months longer, Mr. Johnson,
whom the people distrust more than they dis
bust the rejected candidate Mr. Seymour, is
to hold an office for-which he was never
intended and never fit, and in which he has
done all that human obstinacy could do
to prolong the discords of an afflicted country,
However, the Union, which has borne the
evil for near four years, will not be destroyed
by this arbitrary delay of four months in giv
ing effect to the people's decision. General
Grant, it he lives another four months, will
be President of the Union, and now the
patient people see at least the beginning of
the end, the dawn before the day. The long
interval during which the Executive has been
the chief obstruction to the execution of the
law,—during which it has consisted in a mere
force of friction 0' embarrass Government,
instead of a force of volition to carry it out,
will now soon be over. The vote, neverthe
less, which elects General Grant and Mr. Col
fax, very naturally shows a smaller Re
publican strength than there was at the
moment when Mr. Lincoln's Admin
istration was on the eve of its great
success; for not only have the first bright
anticipations of peace been necessarily a
good deal disappointed by the confusion;
which, carefully promoted by Mr. Johnson's
favor, has prevailed in the South, but the
Republicans themselves have been badly led
—led by violent men who did not know their
own minds well, and scarcely knew that of
the people at large at all,—men without dig
nity and self-restraint. These causes have
led to a certain dimihution of the Republican
enthusiasm of 1864, a diminution shown
chiefly by the loss of New York State and
Maryland to the Republicans, a diminished
majority in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and a
decidea reduction of the Republican majority
in Congress, so that in the House of Rep
ze.aantatiNcta • the . Republicans • „ will
no longer have, it is said,
the two-thirds majority necessary to pass a
bill over the head of the President. That,
how eve', becomes of less consequence, even
• it it ne not fortunate, now that the Presidq,pt
is not to be Mr. Johnson, but General Grant.
On the other hand, New England has cast a
larger and more solid vote than either in 1864
or 1860, and in Illinois the Republican party
has made enormous strides no t on ly s i nce
1860, but since 18.64. Taken as-a whole, the
victory is singularly complete. Considering
the violet:l,46P - - 91 , ..he par
given--uy tud Republicans till
quite lately to the discreditable and dishonest
policy or General Butler, and the blunders
made by them during the impeachment of
the President, the vote of the country has
been marvellously decisive. General Grant
when he dues assume power will feel that be
has the nation behind him, araj that the great
majority he has secured may be made even
more sure and more united by an administra
tion of mouerate nrinuess and sagacity. Al
though the only properly Soutuern States
which have voted for him are Arkansas, Flo
rida, and the two Carolinas—South Carolina
being, of course, carried by the Negro vote—
while Louisiana arid Alabama nave both
voted for the Democrats, it is something to
have broken in upon the monotony of the
tikAithgarltißrittection, and to have got at
least two of the principal States of the South
to let the example of united action with the
ruling party of the North. This will do
much to lii2titen General Grant's task in In
ducing the other Southern States to accept
the political situation and terminate the
chronic war between them and Congress.
Now that General Grant is elected, no one
can help over-leaping the interpolated four
months of prolonged 'ffilsgb - Ve rodent,' and
asking what we may look for &oh-4e new.
President. First and foremost, we expect
•
from him a strong government,—a govern
ment heft:ire which the daily murders going
on in Texas, and Louisiana, and Georgia,and
the South generally, will cease, and • some
law will be enforced in each State,—by the
State authorities, if it may be so, by the mili
tary authorities if it nihst. That has been
the recent object of. Congress, which Mr.
Johnson hasAetew.di. so far as he dared,—to
- give every State as much independent civil
we as was possible, but to keep the military
power in reserve in case the civil discords
• were so violent as to lead to the habitual
breach of order and nvasion of justice. The
United States have shown an almost
nervous horror of open military occu
pation even of rebellious States,—
alealthy. horror, no doubt ; in its sourcen,brit
unhealthy in its results, since it has enabled
themembers of either party in the South to
break through all 'restraints. whehever pas
sion ran high. Congress intended to tive:the
military power as at least,a &us ex machitza
to restrain this, and writild have succeeded
farhetter than it has done, had it not 'been
thwarted by Mr. Johnson. General Grant
has never shown the slightest lust Of - military
power. He is a genuine American citizen,
with far more respeet for civil order than for
, military prestige. But he will at least fully
carry out the deliberate purpose of Congress
to put an end to the regime of violence, and
the result cannot but be wholesome to the
excitable States themselves. They will find it
a' great sedative to excitement to feel sure that
their little outliteakswill not succeed and will
cost them dear. The repute of a strong hand
is almost as great a preservative of order as
the strong hand itself.
With General Grant's election, again, the
policy, not only of order, but of' honesty, has
been secured. The attempt of the. South to
evade paying the debt contracted for the
great civil war will -now doubtless die away.
The-Democratic-repudiators of- the North
traded on the aversion of the South to paying
the cost of their own subjugation. .But now
that General Grant Lae been elected on the
policy of strict integrity—a policy which is
the only one tolerable to his own military
simplicity of character—the Northern
advocates of dishonesty - will be heard
no more. The restlessness of the South
was really their only formidable ally. If Gen.
Grant can subdue:that, he will drain the pol
icy of repudiation 'of all its support.
But what is likely to be General Grant's
foreign policy ? There have been rumors of
his irritation with England, of his disgust at
the hesitation evinced in obtaining redress
for the ravages of the Alabama and her sister
cruisers, of his very limited knowledge of in
ternational questions, and of his consequently
somewhat prejudiced view of English states
manship. There is doubtless some truth in
all this, and it may be a reason for rejoicing
for once at the silly delay which is interposed
between the election of General Grant and
his entrance on office. In the meantime the
President who does not represent the Amend
-can nation may have settled his differences
with us, and General Grant be glad to accept
a solution of which he would not have
taken the responsibility. , But whether
it be so_ or not, Senegal Grant,
though he may be fully conscious of the enor
mous power which a President who is also a
great General wields, when commanding re
sources so great as those of the American
people, is, above all things a moderate man,
with all the immoderate moderation of the.
Yankee genius; and, it' not above all things,
at least above most things, a very disinter
ested man, who seeks no fame for himself so
long as he can be useful to his country. No
one who has read the history of his first
year's service in the Civil War can doubt this.
When unjustly censured and superseded on
untrue charges secretly made, which were
not even explained to him by General Hal
leek, he acquiesced without a murmur, and
only did his best to aid the man promoted
over his head, remarking drily that so long as
the object of the war was gained personal
considerations were of small account. That
was onegreat ..secret-of his success and his
great popularity with his subordinates
throughout his arduous campaignii. And that
is a characteristic which cannot but
moderate his foreign poltcy,however strongly
he may feel the injustke of which, in his esti
mation,foreign States have been guilty to
wards lie Union. No man of hie musing dis
position and disinterested love of country will
plunge the Union into a needless war.
How
ever great his ignorance of foreign pOlitics,
General Grant is one who will never act in a
region in which he knows,that he is igno
rant, without deferring much to the wisest
counsel be can obtain. We partly believe in
his hostile feeling towards England, and is
his not very cosmopolitan view of the
motives and actions of foreign States. But
we do not think that any one less likely to
act hastily on such feelings could have been
chosen. General Grant is just the man to be
sobered instead of excited, by the great power
he will wield. It will be no misfortune to us
to realize that with General Grant at the
head of the Union,- friendliness,
frankness
and ample justice will be as much our interest
as our duty.
Finally, we may fairly_ look to this election
to put the final stroke to the work of Emanv
cipation,—not the less that the man- who is
now made President was never known as an
enthusiast for that cause. He has accepted
the task of enforcing the laws of Congress as
well as the principles laid down in • the Chi
cago platform. By the laws of Congress the
Negro is a citizen, entitled to full civil rights;
and by the principles of the Chicago platform,
no less than by several formal Acts, those
rights are to be secured by giving him politi
cal power where he needs it most. General
Grant will carry out this programme with
military precision?and he will do it with all
the more ease because no one suspects him of
wishing to overstep_the law in the interest of
the Negro. He will represent not the philan
thropists whom the Southern planters loathe,
but simply the Law and the Army,—the law
first r and the Army behind I.lw very
necessary stiffening for the law at the present
moment.
Crawfora's Bronze DOors at the
Capital.
[From the WashinEton Star.]
The new bronze doors ordered a good many 1
years ago for the eastern entrance to the north
or Senate wing of the Capitol are td-day be
ing placed in`position, where they will doubt
less attract, as their merits deserve, a great
deal of attention. The commission for them
was given to the sculptor Crawford, it will
be remembered, at the same time that Rogers
received his for the doors in the corridor lead
ing to the Hall of the House Representa
tives: but the death of the artist before his
models were entirely finished, had the effect of
delay Mg the work. The finishing strokes
were finally added by the German sculptor
Rhinehardt, and the designs were seat-to this
country to be caste in bronze. This part of the
work has been most creditably done by the
Chicopee Foundry, and the result is before us.
Although so limited in space as not to be
able to enter into a full description or the
doors, we shall never heless try to give oar
readers who may not have an opportunity to
see them some conception of, what they are.
Primarily, the idea sought to be conveyed by
the design is that of Peace and War, and to
connect as far as may be the Father of
his Country with the two eras; and,ys the
door is a double one, a side is props y given
to each. Each side is divided into Live
t(sec
tions or panels—those at the botto being a
little larger and those at the top - a little
smaller than the , others. The two• upper
panels are alike, and are intended for lighting
or ventilating. They are composed of open
tracery work, showing a star in the centre
Siiribunaedby a circular wreath of oak and
laurel, the four corners being occupied by
oak leaves and acorns, and the whole forming
a beautiful and appropriate combination.
Then follow the typical or historical scenes.
The upper one on the fight - hand side repre
sents the battle ofßunker. Hill, with Warren
in the foreground, falling mortally wounded.
Next comes Washington rebuking Lee at the
battle of Monmouth, which is followed by a
representation of the battle of Yorktown,with
Hamilton on foot leading a charge against the
. British. In corresponding spaces on the op
posite side come, first, the laying of the
corner-stone of the Capitol by. Washington,
next Washington taking the oath of 'ntlice as
President, followed by the entry of Washing
ton into Trenton. The two base panels are
general rather than specific in their design
and signdication—tb e•-• scene on the

his'home, wife and -child from the assaults of
a foreign soldier, while on the other is repre
sented the husbandman in time of peace, sur
rounded by his family atad the implements
and 'fruits of his Industry. The figures
throughout are in high-relief, and the portraits
and costumes of the distinguished personages
prominent in the different scenes are intended
to be historically correct.. As between the
different panels, we may add that in our opin
ion the one showing Washington taking the
oath of: office gives the finest, effect, artisti
cally considered, while the , least meritorious
in that respect is the base panel of the war
series, representing the defence of the house
hold. But upon these points of course tastes
and fancies may naturally and properly differ.
Of course, whether intentional or not, vis
itors wit'. be pretty apt to compare the doors
under notice with those by Rogers in the
Rouse corridor vortraying the more notable
events in the life of Columbus. Judged by
this test, they will very likely disappoint the
majority at first sight • . Not that they are
materially inferior in point of design or ex
ecution; but the figures are larger, the style
of treatment rather more severe, and the
whole less ornate in accessories. So that the
general effect is perhaps a little less pleasing.
In respect to mechanical executhin,we do not
see but that the foundry at Chicopee can suc
cessfully compete with the more famous es
tablishment at Munich, where the R )gers
doors were cast.
Were we disposed to criticise, we should
object to the arrangement or disposi
tion of the events selected by the artist
to carry out his idest. To our mind, both
historic and poetic fitness would seem to re
quire that the first event—that representing
the battle of Bunker • Hill, should be at the
top of the left rather than of the right hand
side, to be followed by the other war scenes
in the order in which they now come ; while
those emblematic of peace should follow
them, on the loft hand side, instead of pre
ceding them, as now. And, if our memory
serves us, the relative positions occupied by
the groups of the peace series do not correctly
represent the chronological order in which
they occurred. Whether the artistic anachron
isms are chargeable to either of the artists,
or to the workmen who put in their present
places the panels after they were cast, we
have no means of knowing, but the inharmo
nious arrangement to which we refer can
hardly fail to strike the eye of all who really
enjoy a work of art.
Curiously enough, too, while the
..fosime
,and location of the foundry where they were
cast appear in four different places on the
doors, the name of the eminent eculptor who
first conceived the design is nowhere to be
seen. Nor is the artist who completed them
served any better in this respect. From the
story told by the doors themselves, the only
inference the busy world can draw is that
they are not only the material children, but
also the ideal creation of the Chicopee
Foundry.
Commodore Vanderbilt, Baron Roths
child and the Rebel monitor.
To the Editors of the Evening Post:—
No private citizen has probably ever shown
more patriotism than Commodore Vander
bilt. His liberality to the government dur
ing the darkest period of the rebellion should
lob - recorded iti the heart of every - tide Amer
ican, and his example handed down to ani
mate remotest ages. All this was proved in
this way. Mr. Stanton, while Secretary of
War, had from his scouts within the rebel
lines ascertained that the rebels had about
completed their iron clad called the Merrimac,
and that she would soon leave Richmond,
prepared/to destroy our fleet and burn our
towns, without meeting with any power that
could probably resist her. The whole coun
try was alarmed as well as the govern
ment.
Under these circumstances a special agent
was directed by tele6raph to wait upon Com
modore Vanderbilt at 11 o'clock at night, and
ask him for what sum• of money he would
agree to blockade this iron-clad, and keep her
ti(mi getting out of that port. Commodore
Vanderbilt instantly said to the agent: "Tel
egraph to Mr. Stanton that I will see him at
once,' and went immediately to Washington,
called upon Mr. Stanton, and said to him :
"I have come on about this business. Who
is there to be consulted? If any one, call
him, as 1 have no time to talk it over twice."
Mr. Stanton replied: "The President, Mr.
Lincoln, must be consulted." "Then," said
the Commodore, "let us go to his house.at
once;" which they did.
Mr. Lincoln o.id: "Can you stop this iron
clad?" The Commodore replied: "Yes, at
least there are nine chances out of ten I can.
I wlll take myffiip, the C. Vanderbilt, cover
her machinery, &c., with five hundred bales
of cotton, raise the steam, and rush her with
overwhelming force -on the iron -clad, and
sink her before she can escape, or cripple
us." Mr. Lincoln then said, "How much
money will you demand for such a service?"
Commodore Vanderbilt replied, that the gov
ernment had not - money enough to hire him;
that he bad come not to speculate upon the
trial's of the country, but to try and help her
in this hour of need; that he would give
them his ship without charge; that he would
instotly order her by telegraph to be
eidliped'aiu da .IZ-Avay toward Richmond
in thirty-six hours, which was done, she sail
ing under the order of one of his own cap
tains, and the Commodore in person on
board.
Having reached Hampton Heads, among
our blockadiug.squadron, the commander of
the fleet went on board the ship. After some
consultation Commodore Vanderbilt asked
him if the iron clad would probably come
out. The commander replied: •'She will."
"Then," said Commodore Vanderbilt, "I
have one favor to ask of you, and that is, if
she should come - you will keep your fleet. out
of the way that I may have room to sink
her." The iron -clad, as is well known, did
come out, and was disabled and put back by
the Monitor sent from New York. The ob-
ject being accomplished, Commodore Van
derbilt left hie ship and came home, and has
never aslicd or received one cent for nis ship,
ever since held as government property, and
which at the moment they took her was
worth full one million and a half of dollars.
Instead of giving them this sum he could
have made almost any terms for himself.
This interview witn the President and Se
cretary at once enabled them to see that they
had in their presence an extraordinary man.
bin Lincoln said:—"Can you not turn one of
your other ships into an iron-clad?" Yes,"
was the reply, "I think I can, and have her
ready in six weeks; but must first consult my
engineers and head builders; my price for
this smaller ship will be five hundred thou
sand dollars." Mr. Lincoln turned to Mr.
Stanton,`:and said, "We accept these terms—
it is a bargain." Commodore Vanderbilt at
once gayq orders to equip this smaller ship,
and see if she was capable for what/slits ‘
intended. After some time, during whit
she had been nearly cased in bar-iron, the'
Commodore found, to his regret, that he
could not make her what was needed, amj he
at once 'released the Government from their
contract, and thus relieved his noble gift from•
all suspicion of receiving it with any pecu
niary advantage.
These great transactions should be com
memorated on canvas. The historian will
charge himself with the duty of handing them
down to posterity; the school books will con
tain the account, and the eyes of children yet
unborn will glisten as they read and feflect
upon such true and lofty patriotism, which is
an invaluable inheritance to our country, and
should be placed on the same shelf in the
archives where ' are deposited the .famous
deeds of our most distinguished men.
Noble, generous and self-sacrificing as all
this is, its brilliancy is obscured by the ab-
sense of all ostentation in the cpilet,',Xetirlng
and unpretending manner in which thp OW,
work was done: ; ,
In 1816, ,the Austrian governnient being
distressed for money, they went to thOtoths
childs, who granted a ;Ican, , , probably as a
mere business transaction. ,So great Was the,
gratitude of the,Emperoethat - he created' all,
the brothers of the eminent house barons,
which titles they have since enjoyed, and to
which all Europe considers them entitled. No
distinguished citizen has ever expressed less
desire for noteriety than Commodore Vande
rbilt. No man has ever conducted large trans
actions with a more decided and independent
mind, and no man enjoys a higher reputation
for gentleness of character, cunciliation sad
,princely liberality to those 'with whom he
contends. . CLINTON.
the Washington Statuary.
iWaahington ,Corrtapondence of the Chicago Tribune.]
Now, of what sort of civilization is our
monumental art the hypothesis? . Consider it:
Washington ia in ruins; our goose cooked
ethnologically. We are extinct, and the fu
ture philosopher of New Jersey, wandering
among our ruins, comes to Clark Mills's
statue ofJackson. He st once infers that
the people who lived- in the past ago wor
shipped hideous images which-wore cloths of
a tight fit and rode a species of • hoofed ani
-mats that walked exclusively on their hinder
legs. So far so good ! Directly he encoun
ters Clark Mills's Washington; he makes no
new observations, except that this , image sits
on the rump of his quadruped, and that the
quadruped is tying a knot in his tail. In both
cases of course ho experiences a doubt that
either such animals could walk.
Next he comes to Greenehough's Washing
ton and experiences a revulsion. Immediately
a great physical question arises. Did those
monument builders wear clothes,or go naked?
Soon it is collaterally established that one of
Mills's figures represents the same man that
Greenehough denuded. This brings in the
future climatologist, who sets up tne theory
that, in the age of the monumentalizers there
were violent changes of temperapnre, so that
Washington went naked in summbr and wore
buffalo robes in winter. In this way the con
test will aggravate itself, ramify, cause an ex
travagance of ink and epithet. And so does
every error of taste descend to other ages and
worry them.
Greenehough's figure has dignity and he had
sensitiveness and ideas, but it sits in the rain,
whereas it was meant to adorn the rotunda of
the capitol. This shows the mercy of Con
gress to Washington, and they bloke the
artist's heart.
Greenehough, as I have said, was a man of
literary rather than artistic temperament, and
his writings are more suggestive and original
than his statuary. He was a poor business
hand and worked conscientiously beyond his
contract. In 1843 he sent home his colossal
statue of Washington, which the people will
pro aably never appreciate ; it, is sitting, yet
colossal, and Only strong hands like Buonar
roti's can make, as in the "Moses," a colos
sal figure sit and be vigorous. This figure
cost $25,000, and in 1851 the artist completed
another huge and feeble group, called "Civi
lization." •`lrr Civilization" an Indian—quite
naked, except a nondescript grave-shroud
which hides a part of his proportions and is
tucked up behind into nothingness—is in-the
paasiveness of being seized by a practical
hunter in a Scotch cap. The Indian has a
tomahawk, and a woman near by with a
baby, intimates with her nose that the Indian
has an antique smell to him. The baby seems
to have no teeling in the matter, and a dog
looks on wagging his tail.
This group, with a very slight change,
would represent Lazarus raised from the
dead and an injunction put upon him by the
Hunter at his wife's request. The following
dialogue seems to be natural to the situation:
Lazarus (Indian)—"l want to come up
and be alive. I've cut my way out with this
hatchet. tp ive me my clothes!"
Woman— "Billy, con't let Lazarus out.
He isn't tresh."
Dog—"l'm satisfied to let him come, as I
shall eat a piece of him."
Bunter—" Well, Lazarus! the old woman
has applied for an injunction and I guess you
must go back and be planted."
Opposite "Civilization," on the abutments
of the Capitol stairs, stands Porisco's Colum
bus, introducing America to the world.
Porisco was one of the foreigners we employed
to decorate the Capitol, and this is his colos
sal achievement. America is an Indian girl
with a natural Grecian bend to her, crouch
ing under Columbus's right arm, which latter
upbears a globe about the size of a bowling
ball: Columbus, bareheaded, in tights, run
ning shoes and ancient base ball costume, is
"chucking" the ball directly at the nude
Washington, out in the park, who holds up
his palms to receive it. Absurdity quite
methodical is instanced here, the Roman
Washington being itself a curiosity, in char
acter condemned by its own sculptor, who,
once referring to the discrepancy between
the antique and the modern, wrote: "Why
not translate one or Pindar's odes in memory
of Washington, or set up in Carolina a col
lossal Osiris in honor of General Greene?"

First Picture: The boy shut up in that
bed• room we need hardly say is the one who
made so many laborious-slate-studies on the
horse. Ho had distanced all competitors In
horses, and begun to extend the field of his ope
rations. Ho abandoned the slate for India ink
and crayons. At last he resolved to make an
essay in 01l painting. Keeping his own counsels,
"that no one might laugh at him," ho procared*a
rather huge canvas, with the requisite utensils,
and we now find him shut up in that little
bed-room, on that "bitter cold day," at
tempting to copy a picture in the His
tory England--" The e Conflagratioa.;
of Moscow." But this expedition ;to MoseoW,
was likely•to become Ur the' young Painter trim'
more fatal than it had proved to; Napoleon him- .
self. The dinner hour came round, but he did
not shoVr_timself. Some time passed, and his
mother became anxious. A search was made for'
him everywhere. Having occasion to visit the
bedroomi - his — mother found the door fastened.
She ran to the outeichl window; through' :whtett
she saw'her son sitting in his chair; his head fal
len down on his breast, apparently asleep. She
rapped on the window and called, but received
.mq„answer. She forced tho window, open; when
a sight of the charcoal furnace explained
the mystery to the frightened mother, who "sup
posed that her Charlie was- dead." She sprang
through the 'window, and rushing to his side,
shook him violently; but ho showed no sign of
life. And there on the chair before him stood
"Moscow Burning," a rude but, bold sketch, in
which the idea of the artist was not to be mis
taken. By his side on a little stand lay the open
History of England, from which ho had copied—
his pallet and brushes fallen from his hands; and
U
to a appearances the young artist had painted
his first and last' oh-picture. But the rush of
winter air soon revived him. and in a few hours
he was as well as ever.—Harper's Monthly.
The receptions of the New York Century Club,
are always delightful. We clip the following
account of their last monthly meeting from the
World, merely to let oar readers see what New
York artists are producing. As for the criti
cal opinions expressed, we repeat them, as the
Ilf onileur often says, "under every kind of re
serve;"
"In the pleasant little gallery of the Century
Club some very interesting pictures are generally
on view about the time of .the monthly meetings.
At the last meeting the exhibition was a very at
tractive and varied one. Charles Temple Dix, a
eon of the Minister from this country 'to the
French Court, has lately sent out from London,
where he now reside*, three pictures of marine
or coast scenery, painted on commission, - we be
lieve. One of these—a view on the coast of Spain
—wax exhibited in tne gallery on the occasion re
ferred to. The peaks and escarpments
of the bold rocky headlands are drawn
with much power of observation. Neither
the sea nor the sky are up to the standard which
this clever painter ot marine scenery has already
made - Tor himself, but there is an agreeable fresh
ness in the atmosphere of the picture that makes
it a very pleasant one to look at. The gem of
the collection was a small picture by Eastman
Johnson. The subject treated by the artist is
the very simple but interesting one of a small
child, kneeling in prayer at its bedside previous
to retiring to rest. It is rendered with much
feeling and truth, and the management of the
large surface of white drapetlft is partic
ularly creditable. Winslow Homer contributed
a rather eccentric picture, the materials for which
he apparently procured during his recent visit to
Europe. A woman on ^horseback. riding over
some shattered rocks, is the subject of this pic
ture which is painted with force, bat conveys
theimpression of objects seen through a hazy
medium of some kind.: Quite the reverse of
agreeable, and equally the reverse of original, is
the subject hanolled by J. W. Ehnlnger—a game
of cards going on between a living personage and
a skeleton—the game of life,' in fact. There
is a good - action the picture, but It, is
decidedly not a pleasant ono to contemplate.
Hemet AbsrUn had a capital little landscape piece
-in the collection. W. J. Hennessy had a compo
sition comprising a single figure, that of a lady
standing contemplatively in the midst of a land
scape. The figure is the beet part of this little
picture. A buck, painted by W. J. Hays, Is not
up to that artist's standard as a painter of animal
life. G. Lambdin and J. G. Brown bath had
small figure pieces in the collection, which also
contained works by Weir and other well-known
New York artists."
Other recent items (Gothaudtems), are the fol
lowing:
Several excellent examples of the landscape
painting of George Inners, large and small, are
now on exhibition at tinedecor's. Mr. Inners,
while still working in the rich and harmonious
color by which his .pictures have always been
characterized,.. is making decided progress In the
-delineation and making' out of forms—points in
which some of his pictures heretofore exhibited
have been deficient. Edwin Forbes's large pic
ture of soldiers bivouacking in the "Wilderness"
is now on view at Snedecor's. This picture 1s one
of remarkable merit, more especially for the
grouping and accurate study of soldier character
displayed In it.
W. Bradford bas returned to his Studio in the
city. Be has passed a part of the summer amid
the wild scenery of the lower St. Lawrence,
whence he has brought with him a mass of ma
terials for In tare work.
Lanni Thompson, the sculptor, took his de
parture for Eure,pe on Wednesday last, on board
the steamer Manhattan.
F. T. L. Boyle has painted a portrait of Dick
ens.
Lang has nearly finished, and It is feared • will
exhibit at the Academy, a composition comOris
nig many figures. Thu story embodied is that of
a child of opulent parents who has been kid
napped by a horde of gipsies, in whose tamp she
is seen, while aronnd her the mountebanks are
rehearsing their feats of skill.
Mr. Knoedier's best recent acquisitions are
three noble pi:tures of "horse-life" by Schreyer.
The largest of these, a group of tired horses hud
dled together within a hasty hurdle-pen for
shelter from a snow-storm, is
to
line.
One knowelitirwhicti most to praitie, the-vigor
ous drawing and naturalness of the animals re
joicing "with trembling" to be safe from the
nipping, blinding storm, or the sense of space
and chill and wind in the external atmosphere
of the snow-beaten forest.
WM/WELT/VI% FINAL _AMC' .
The sale of M. D'Huyvetter's collection in New

The revival of Haldvy's " Val d'Andorre" has
led M. D. de St. Georges, who wrote the book of
the orera, to ielatu two of three anecdotes of
this epuiposer.
I, who for twenty years shared Haldvy's do
mestic und-artietie life, am able to relate to you
some incidents of his private life, whieli will, re
veal to your readers a cormir, of eminentthis eminent
man's heart, whose modest, disirust equalled his
talents. One day I surtirle.ed Elald,vy in his Biddy,
seated before his'piano, his heactin his hands.
Wben.l got near him he turned . towards me, his
eyes brimming With tears. I was deeplyloitelled,
and asked him; "What'ls the: matter with yi?a?"
Be answered, . 5 .1 am *ritinlethe,llnale of the aee
ond act ot d'Andorre." Hoplayed it to tue,
and added, "Do you think that will (Hake
them weep V' I replied : "I ate sure of
it since you yourself weep." -.No ode nap •rnAlta
others holtinless he himself feels: One morning-
while Haltwy was writing for the orchestra the
score of "Lea Mounietarlos de la- Koine" he
heard so one sing in biabenie'e court-yard an
air of hi. ew work. Bnrprised at first, he satis
fied hi:weir the air was indeed his own, and sud
denly slaking from astonishtnent n 3 despair , he
exclaimed : am a rnitred,tnan! I bave not an
idea! I thought that song original; 'Wail
,only 1 , a souvenir, a reminiscence of some
other work—l no longer • , compose-I .
do ' but copy."' He inquired the name
of -the singer whose sharp voice moved him so
deeply. The sertfant slid: He is a house painter,
who Is painting the walls of the house' He sent
for the painter and tremblingly asked the origin
of the song hevas singing. o .Why, sir, I caught
It(Vother day from an opera they aro rehearsing
at the Opera Comique which I heard while we
were at work in the theatre." This opera was
"Les Mosquetaires de la R,eine," 1 would net
be sworn Haldvy in his delight did not kiss the
painter. The morning after the first perform
ance of this same opera "Les Mosquetaires
do la Keine," llalevy'a porter stopped him
as he' quitted the house, saying: "Your music is
tip-top, sir—l, who can't for the life of
me keep my eyes open longer than ten o'clock
at night, didn't begin to nod before the third act."
Haldvy replied: "r am obliged to you. I will cat
down the piece." He did cut the• piece. "Les
Mosqnetaires do la Keine" was played at the
theatre in the Tuileries. King Louis Philippe
paid him the warmest compliments, but Halevy
remained sad and taeitura the whole evening. I
could not understand It until, on my way home
with him ho said: "Well, It turns out to bo no
=
success, after all." I el:dined: "What! no suc
cess, when everybody, from your porter to the
Bing' of France is enchanted with your music?"
He sadly answered: "My friend, T saw a chamber
lain gape during to-night's performance." "Le
Val d'Andorte" has been received with warm ap
plapse at the Theatre Lyrique.
