THE FINE ARTS.
—"Bradford's `Crushed by Icebergs' represents
the concentrated labor ' of three years,atid aemany
journeys to the Northern Bess." So testifies , a
writer in the San Francisco magazine, the Over
land; and thus the tepid Pacific shorepays its
tri
bute of justice to that of the cold and perilous
Atlantic. Few painters but Mr. Bradford would
have conceived the thought of making art-capi
tal out of the forbidding coasts of Labrador and
out of the squalid trade of the seal-hunters. He
has, however, produced a composition which is a
decided acquisition, not so much in an art-sense,
as for its illustrative value. As a contribution to
American Physical Geography, and as illumina
ting one of our obscurest but manliest industries,
the picture is a valid and valuable gain, and de
serves to be reduplicated in its full dimensions.
and hung in our Chambers of Commerce and
GE °graphical Societies' rooms. As for the litho
graphic copy, every
" mother, Erayin4 God would save
RC! sailor
would like, we should think, to have its snowy
tableau banging before her eyes in the bedroom
kept garnished for the returning voyager.
Ditesre. Earle's stock of engravings and photo.
graphs, we need not say, is always brought
down to the nick of time by the importation of
the latest proofs. We cannot understand the
comparative neglect in which the photographs
taken direct from the greatest European paintings
are held by the public at large. At once cheaper
and far more close than the copperplate copy,
they convey the very idiom and accent of the
originals, and entrap the accuracy of science into
the representation of some fleeting shade of
meaning, too fine to be caught by even the sym
pathy of the fellow-artist. Leaving out the one
attraction of color (which we forego in the en
graving also) by collecting photographs we get,
for beggars' prices, the cream of the galleries
which European nobles spend their fortunes
and demonstrate their connoinsourship,in amus
ing.
—At Haseltine'e Rooms are now collected a
number of Interesting works by William P. W.
'hue, a hign-class American painter with a
French education. The largest picture, "Moon
rise after a Gale," is occupied (besides the sky)
entirely by four or five immense leaden waves.
rolling as after a norm, and apparently studied
from shipboard. They are so turgid and big as
to mount above the eye-line, and , thus deprive
the picture of a horizon. The-sky in this -coat
poAtion. with a mosaic of gray clouds all charged
and ingrained with moonlight, and interstices of
the heaviest-blue, seems to us perfect in quality.
Several coast views recall the manner of Dana's
master, Lepolteven, but are not so flat and icy as
the works of that painter; perhaps
they exhibit some obligation to Hognet The
.I:amok' heads, for Dana is the most versatile of
our painters, have shortcomings, but are beauti
ful for color and texture. The children, those of
them dated most remotely, are exquisite; though
the drawing, as in the left band of "Heartaense,"
and the drapery of the lovely little creature with
a handful of flowers, is "awful." It La painful to
see that Mr. Dana's most recent pictures, as the
child with. a white background, are infamously
painted. Altogether, however, his little gallery
is one of the most hopeful exponents of American
art we have seen for a very long time.

WAgnINGTOII, March 26,1869.—The unexpected
action of the House to-day, in reconsidering its
action of yesterday, in referring the subject of
the Tenure-of Office law.to the Judiciary Com
mittee, is interpreted as an indication that It will
insist upon the unconditional repeal of the law,
instead of the modification proposed by the bill
from the Senate. There is no denying the
fact that some of the members of the House feel
jealous of the manner in which this matter was
arranged between the SenateJudlciary Committee
end the President. The House feels its import
ant e ignored as a co-ordinate legislative branch
of the Government, and some of ita members
;ook upon the action of the Senate as an assunw
atm of superiority which the "lower House"
should not submit to. Then, too, they are not
ratialtd to give the Senate so much poweras is
still exercised over Presidential appointments
daring the recess, which virtually makes the Sea
ite the censor of the acts of the President, if it
should reject his appointments at the next sou
cet dirg session. Under the provisions of the
ameuded bill, as it passed the Senate, it a man is
jected, the party holding the office previously
it reinstated, however objectionable he mac be
to the President. This is regarded as a serious
defect by many members of the House,
aho don't care a straw for the supposed
.5/iyht in not consulting the House,
er the agreement made wi h the President. The
( I ;eling, however, is not hitter, and atter a few
ffiembers of the House have exploded their in
dignation, the matter will probably be referred
to a Committee of Conference, and the conflicting
opinions harmonized. Both Houses are sick and
tired of the wrangle, and anxious to adjourn and
go home, and although cash may not got all it
wants, there is good reason to believe that the
matter will be permanently settled next week.
THE GUILLOTINE AT WORK
Great activity prevails in all the departments
in making out lists of appointments all over the
country. These lists are sent to the White ROW*,
where, it is understood, a large number have ac
cumulated, which will come into the Senate like
au avalanche, in a few days, after the trouble
about the Civil-Tenure bill is over. It is under
stood to be the settled policy of the President to
make a "clean sweep," even of weak-kneed Re
publicans, or "fence men," who were good John
son men while he was in office, and are "original
Grant men" now. The flip-flaps of these acro
bats are at an end, and they must stand aside for
others who have borne the brunt of the fight.
THE PHILADELPHIA APPOINTMENTS
The name of Aubrey H. Smith,as'United States
District-Attorney for Eastern Pennsylvania,came
in to-day, which was the only Philadelphia ap
pointment sent forward. This was expected,as I
informed you several days ago that the President
had fully made up his ittlnd to appoint Mr. Smith.
The bond of Collector Henry D. Moore has not
yet been received at the Treasury Department,
but it is expected ho willunalify and enter on his
duties next week. Numerous candidates have
been seeking minor appointments in the Custom
House, as aveigher,.appralser,&c.,but no changes
will be made till after Mr. Moore is drily in
stalled.
Nearly all the Philadelphia revepue appoint
ments have been decided upon, but the names
are kept secret for, the present, and will not be
known till the President sends them to the Sen
ate. He keeps his own secrets well, and there
ate no leaks at the Executive Munsion; An the
anxious ones must be kept in suspense till their
fate is known in the regular way.

Rev. Xi r. Milburn's Lectures.

PARIB, Friday. 'March 12, 1889.—1 t has been a
universal observation that never was the season
of Lent, or the Careine as it is called here, so
little respected as it has been this year in Paris.
No doubt this laxity le partly owing to the early
period at which Easter falls due, and which
made the season of gayety unusually short be
tween New Year's day, now the commencement
of Parisian festivities, and the spring, which ,
used to be the end of them. In former times,
private hails and receptions were rare in Lent
among French families of the higher ranks, and
official entertainment ceased entirely. But now
private people go on amusing themselves pretty
much as usual, and Ministers and Ambassadors
seem to think that their " occupation would be
gone" if they gave up dinners and receptions. A
very amiable and appropriate divergence from
the ordinary routine has, however, been inaugu
rated on several occasions of late by the leaders
of American high life In Paris, and owing to the
prestige now enjoyed by such ladies as those
in question, the effort has been ate
tended with brilliant success. Concerts
at various American private houses have been
elven for charitable purposes, sometimes con
flicted with individuals in distress, sometimes for
the support of benevolent institutions. Amongst
.there, those which took place with this view at
he residence of Mr. Downing, in the Avenue de
•Imperatrice, and of Mrs. Moulton, in the Rue
de Courcelles, particularly deserve notice for the
, xample which they set of turning talents and
iefluence to account for charitable per
: ores, and for the brilliant assemblage
of rank and beauty and fashion which they
brought together. The tickets to the former, at
Len francs, were found to be in such demand that
our celebrated_cantatrice, Mrs. Moniton,with that
_enerous audacity which is inspired at once by
- he consciousness of talents, beauty and chants
nle intentions, raised her demands upon her
iong list of noble and titled friends to twenty
races. Nor was she deceived as to the attraction
attached to her name. Hundreds of demands
for tickets had to be rejected after her
splendid suite of ealbons were filled to over
tiowing. Scarcely a name of note' was absent
, rem the brilliant list of fashionable and diplo
nettle celebrities; ail of whorl have found their
,wei Saloons too often indebted to the-vocal
powers of the greatest of our American amateur
eongstresets to admit of their neglecting her
summons when called to aid in a work of homey°.
;trice. Princes and Princesses, Dukes, Ambassa
dora and Ministers were there as plentiful as
elackberries; and but for recent indisposition,
which basonce or twice of late prevented an il
lustrious lady from being present at her own
concerts in the Tuileries,l believe Mrs. Moulton's
beneficent intentions would have received the
-upport of imperial patronage in person.
Talking of music reminds me of another death
o record in this season, so rich in the harvest of
great names which have been gathered to the
universal bourne. Only the other day the vete
ran composer, Hector Berlioz, was to be seen
, reeply affected at the obsequies of his old friend
Rossini, and now he himself has paid the debt of
nature. and ceased his long inspirations
e the age of sixty-five. American
tailors to the first French annual ex
hibition of 1855 may remember him, perhaps.
conducting the moat gigantic orchestra ever per
tips assembled, and numbering among other in
strumeets eighty harps—by the aid of an electric
telegraph. Nor is it easy, indeed, to forget the
strungenees of hie aspect, as he then stood aloft,
on a raised stage, and gesticulated like a tele
graph or a wind-mill in full swing, with his pro.
digions arms, and long, lank emaciated body, his
ceentric head and flowing white locks and eye
.1 fire. All is silent and still now; and Hector
Berlioz is gone, like Rossini, leaving only now
et hind them a still older veteran, Anber, aged
lour score years and ten.
The Government here seems particularly anx
felle to make the public aware that it arose
rom neither apprehension Nor disinclination on
, he part of the authorities if the funeral of La
martine took place privately and in the country.
i Ire Jou rnul Official announces, in a marked man
.er, that not only did the Emperor greatly desire
hat the, obsequies of the deceased poet and
- , atesman should be both public and splendid,
d he performed at the public expense; but also.
hat they should take place in Paris, and full
,Ltrty be allowed to any orators who
eight be c hosen to pronounce dis
courses over his tomb. Direct offers in this
sense were made officially to his family, and
only declined In deference to the express wishes'
SO often declared in his lifetime by the deceased.
The foundation of the American "Charitable
Fund Association of Paris" was finally com
pleted, in happy accordance with the season and
with the other similar benevolent endeavors
above alluded to, at a general meeting recently
held at the rooms of the first President of the
Society, Dr. Evans. The object was
to consider and adopt by-laws for the
government of the undertaking, and end)
ulee ab were necessary for effectually carry
ing en the work in prospect. I might, indeed,
correSt the latter expression by saying at once
the vcbrk "in hand;" for the Association has al
ready found claimants for its aid, and more than
one distressed countryman is, through its as•
sistance, by this time on the ocean, on the way
for his native land. And it is in such cases, and
to aid in returning to America persons overtaken
by sudden distress at a distance from their homes,
that the action of the Society will, I apprehend,
be found most valuable. The final resolu
tions were proposed by the Rev. W. 0
Lamson, of the American Episcopal Church,
Rue Bayard, who, in eloquent terms, coupled the
birth of this new American institution in Paris
with that of Washington, on whose birthday It
was first inaugurated, and with whose immortal
name, be trueted, it would ever hereafter be
ftEeociated.
There is yet another incident to bo mentioned
in connection with our American. colony in Paris,
and its occupations at this season. I allude to
the series of lectures, now on the point of termi
nating,, which have been delivered here by
the Rev. Wm. Milburn. Both the name of
the lecturer and his talents and manner,and prob
ably also the subject of his discourse, are—too
well-known in America for it to be needful. ;for
me to dwell upon them while writing to his
countrymen at home. All I need remark upon is
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
has appreciation here by English, French; and
other foreign bearers, who have listened to him'
for- the first time. - The large — tttendanee-at--
'ranted by the lecture announced on Milton,
showed that our British cousins were' far from
indifferent to American opinion on their great
Epic poet. There wae,too, quite as large a sprink
ling of the non-English speaking element, its
could be expected; and altogether Mr. Milburn's
visit amongats has proved another Muetration of
Ametican capacity in a line now especially popu
lar in this capital.
Attempt to POISOO tointuistt Soldiers—
The so eatructlon ot the tauttrdin tsar •
rack by an Ineetid Nary Fire.
A communication from Madrid, of the Bth, in
the Paris Patrie. confirms the news already given
(.f a nefarious attempt to poison the soldiers in
the barrack of Guardia, and also of the subse
quent conflagration , of that vast building. The
Bret aline was rendered abortive by the prudence
of a captain, who, being surprised at the color of
the soup destined for the men..gave some of It to
a dog, which expired immediately after.
"The fire," says the writer, "broke out siniulta
reouely at the four corners of the edifice, and in
the course of a quarter of an hour all those parts
of it that contained munitions and other combus
tible materials bt came so many blazing furnaces.
Ibe extrication of the horses was a matter of no
email difficulty, but was In the end effected. Not
withstanding the most strenuous exertions of the
tire brigade the flames lost little of their intensity
till they had reached the atone
walls of the building. I cannot
yet give you the number of those who have fallen
victims of this disaster; I only know that a cap
tain who was engaged in driving out the horses
must babe perished from the falling In of a
vaulted roof, as he has not since been heard of.
The day after the barrack was still burning.
What la worse is that the telegraph announces
that similar attempts were made on the same day
at Seville, Valencia, Barcelona, and several other
cities in Spain."
M. Henri Rochefort,who gained so much popu
larity a short time since by his attack upon the
French Government in the satirical" paper, the
Lanterns, has been invited by more than five
nundred electors of Paris to put np for one of
the districts of that city. M. Rochefort commu
nicates the fact to the A nenir National, and says
he shall accept the invitation.
A communication from Rome states that the
authorities are engaged in organizing a service of
reporters for the proceedings in the CReamenical
Connell. The Abbe Ylgidius Marcheses. a Phil
montese. has been placed by the Holy Father at
the head of the shorthand writers. This ecclesi
astic, a subject of the King of Italy, has only
been in holy orders five years. Before pronoun
cing the vows, he was for a long time first re
porter to the Parliament of Turin.
Announcement has been made of the death of
His Serene Hiehnees the Doke Christian Charles
Frederick Augustus, of Bchlea wig-Holstein-
Augustenburg. His Serene ifighneas was son
of the Duke Frederick. of Schleswig-Holstein. _
end of the Princess Louisa Augusta, of
Denmark, daughter of King Christian VII.
Born on July 19, 1798, he succeeded his
father to the Dukedom in June, 1814. ana
he married in September, 1820, Louise Augusta,
Countess of
_Darnekolde.„ The late Duke leaves
two eons and three datlghters. Frederick, the
eldest son and present Duke, is married to Fria

The Visit of the Prince of Wales to the
Nile.
The Prince and the Princess of Wales arrived
at Luxor on the 16th uls., where they visited the

THE ?ENURE OF OFFICE LAW
The Action of the House Yesterday
The &Petit Will Have Upon the Repeal
No Promeat of a Speedy Settlement
The Civil Tenure HUI.
[Special t eepatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.]
WASHINGTON, March 27.—The action of the
House yesterday in refusing to non-concur in the
Senate amendment to the Tenure-of Office bill
will prolong the settlement of this vexed ques
tion. if it does not prevent any further legbalation
on this subject. Senators who have not been
active in trying to retain the present
law, although favoring it, now say that if the
House proposes to insist upon the total repeal
they will take an open stand in the Senate against
repealing the law at all. They assert' that
the present amendment was agreed upon,against
the wishes of the majority of Republican
St eaters, as a compromise measure and to pre
vent dissensions in the Republican ranks, and
that if the House will not accept it in that spirit,
then they can only blame themselves if the
present law is left upon the statute book pn
cnanged and unaltered. There veems to be con
slderable feeling among the Senators who are
anti-repeal on this subject, and there is little
hopes of the matter being settled in a manner
which will be satisfactory to General Butler and
his followers In the House.
Three days ago your correspondent tele
graphed, upon the authority of a prominent
Senator, that the amendment as passed by the
Senate was satisfactory to President Grant.
Now, however, I have reason to believe that the
Senator misapprehended General Grant's exact
remarks. The amendment Is not satisfactory to
Gen. Grant unless it is found to be impossible to
obtain a total repeal of the bill. President Grant
does not consider the amended bill as objection
able as the original bill, as has been said, but still
there are many features in it which he does
tot approve, and which, in his judg
ment, ought not to be there.
Even should the House reconsidexits action yes
terday, and agree to the Senate amendment, it is
in nowise certain then that the President
would make such a wholesale removal as the most
ardent politicians and the leading R^publicsne
desire. After a thorough canvas of the field,
your correspondent feels fully satisfied that the
Senate will not agree to further concessions or
modifications of the bill,nor is there any,disposi
don to yield the principle contained in It.

THE ARREST OF POLICEMEN.—TiIe following

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE OF THE CITY
cs - IPHILADELriria, March, 1869.—T0 Alderman
—: DEAR SIR : lam directed by the Mayor
to address you the following communication:
In the event of your issuing a warrant for the
arrest of a police officer, we ask aa a matter of
courtesy, and for the protection of the public in
ic rest, that you will notify the Chief of Police or
Lieutenant of the district to winch such officer is
I.ttaehed that such warrant has been issued,pre
vious to its service by your constable. You will
see. sir, that the arrest of an officer
while on duty, though strictly legal,
is not only a source of embarrass
ment to the Department,but is highly prejudicial
to the peace, and security of the citizens resident
on the beat to which the officer is assigned for
duty, from the fact that while he is suddenly
taken in custody, that portion of the tract is
left without an officer for its pro rt„ thus
leaving the citizen'. open b 4 assault or robbery
while the beat is deprived of its legal guardian.
I am aware that th , s is a favor the granting of
which is simply a matter of courtesy, but we ask
it with confidence, feeling fully assured that your
regard for the public welfare will Impel you to
comply with this request.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
ST. CLA/R A. MULHOLLAND, Chief of Police.

Suicide In Pittsburgh.
The Pittsburgh Commercial of yesterday, says:
A most singular and distressing ease of aikido
was discovered at an early hour yesterday morn
ing, at the warehouse of Messrs. Christy , & Ben
ham, paper dealers, on Water strept, between
Market and Ferry streets. Joseph Driscoll, the
errand boy employed in the warehouse, opened
the store about six o'clock in the morning, and
on entering was horrified to find one of the pro
prietors, Mr. Horace (1. Benham, suspended by
the neck from the hatchway on the second floor.
Assistance was procured and the body was re
moved by severing the rope. It was then dis
covered that Benham had committed suicide by
hanging, in the most deliberate manner.
The cause which led to the act of self-destrue
lion will probably never be known. The deceased
was a very worthy and estimable young man, was.
not known to have experienced trouble of any
hind, and the firm of which he was a member
was doing a prosperous business. Ho was seen
to leave the store at six o'clock In the evening,
In good spirits and in the enjoyment of his aerial
health. Ho resided with his mother and sisters,
In Allegheny, and after taking supper with them,
attended prayer-meeting at one of the churches.
Ho had been unwell for two or three weeks, but ,
did not show any mental weakness, or the
slightest depression of spirits, so far as his friends
could discover. Ho was about thirty-five years
of age and unmarried.
