II represents a studious enthusiastic man, wssted

than could be reasonably expected of it, in rlumns'-

the head Just beyond is fine full-length portrait
of e1-President Tyler ordered by Congress, and
painted by Healy. IL is excellent as portrait with
the merits which have 80 long been acknowledged as
distinguishing Mr. IIealey, but is got up whether by
order of Congress or by the will of the subject, IN
very bad taste. Ii the Administration of the ex-
President pro tenn. really illustrated by the His
tory Of China, the Northeast Boundary Question,
and Texas. is that good reason why volumes so in
scribed should lie always at the elbow OF Mr. Tyer'
Or because he was President, pro tenn, must he
therefore treat The National Iatelitgencer with such
indgnitv, What did that excellent and always
respectable sheet do that il should be crumpled
up in such an extraordinary fashion Indeed, we are
not quite ture that on this last point
we NAV not find some fault with the
artist, for rather question whether any
newspaper could be made to assume the exceedingly
limp appearance of The Iateiiigeneer, so much like
soiled napkin or dirty towel. Another portrait on
this wall half length, "alsdy" by Elliot is capt
tai and in his best manner. Below these hang some
tmaler and charming pictures A Sunset, by Bris'
toll is splendid bit of coloring msrred only by some
few floating clouds, which seem rather as if drop
ping than floating. "The Stray Flock" by Bel
lows cabinet size, in which the flock is little else
than enough to give g name to it, is q landscape
with a group of Cedars in the foreground, very
skillfully managed, with bright pool just below
them, q long hillside stretching beyond and noun
tains in the distance. II is, we presume, compost
ton and does the artist great credit. Below it is
little gem by Oertel, Z" A Grazing Cow" filling
the bit of canvas full of fe indeed she ought to
be- for she is in fine piece of moving, whether the
artist meant il SO or not.
Morning in the Blue Ridge Mountains, by Soutag,
is full of fine effects particularly the heavy wreath OF
cloud breaking away on the mountain-ops. Below
it is Sunset by Stlman. The western sky is glow
ing with ruddy light, and relieved against it is
row of what we take be cedars in the foreground,
but neither they the of heavy undisnguish-
able foliage below them have any of the disnetness
which one looks for in the painting Of artist of
pre-Raphaelite reputation. Were the scene called
Twilight rather than Sunset, should not look for
any more distinctness of outline, even in a pre-Ra-
phaelite, than we here, it is hardly reason
able TO expect the artist to give what cannot be
found in nature. But in tho sunsets which we have
observed for thiry-odd years, they usually precede
the semi-obscureSf the coming darkness for certain
period. The deep glow of the sky of this picture,
which il, in ITSELF excellent has moreover, the color
and distance of that period and is without the dused
light of the setting sun. II is hardly safe to crcise
one of Mr. Stlmans school, for, however certain they
may be Of their meaning, it is not always obvious
TO others but, with proper sense of modesty,
cannot help believing the name given to this work a
misnomer. The same artist has another painting in
the gallery, Of party in the Adirondacks About it
there can be no mistake. 1t is party Of men at
bivOuack in the woods most of whom are engaged
in shooting at mark, and some of whom portraits
in little of party of Boston gentlemen, who visited
that region last Summer. Ii is picture of and
trees-unmistakabc man, the perpendicular animal
on two legs-all 4" straight as II gun-barrel," and
nearly all holding rifles, perpendicularly, except him
who shoots who fortunately has his at the proper right
angle. Even Mr. Emerson, for once, is contormst,
and has provided himself with what woodmen call
cat-sick,' perfectly straight, and carried in the
prescribed manner. We cannot say that the picture
strikes us pleasantly either in arrangement color,
though we reluctantly dissent from the judgment
which We believe, has been pronounced upon it in
Boston.
