A PICTURE SToLEN.-A short time since some
CONSERVATION was excited among the officials
of the Ufizi Gallery, Florence, by the discovery
that one of the pictures Of the Flemish school
had been torn away from its place about ten
minutes before the usual time of closing-the
culprit having got clear off with his booty.
Prompt measures were taken copy of the
picture was photographed Immediately, and
the photographs placed in the hands of the
police. Two days afterwards the picture was
discovered exposed at one of those small shops
for the sale of such objects which abound, in
Florence. The dealer averred that he had
bought it for two francs of a man. who said
that he had given fifty centimes for it. The
picture, which is one of the best works of Van
Mieris in the gallery, although the size is only
about nine inches by seven, has been replaced,
and search is being diligently made for the
abstractor. The real value of the work cannot
he much less than G700 or f800 sterling.

ment.
From the Chicago Tribune, oct. l.
We had the pleasure of call yesterday from
the Hon. +. b. Washburne, who lately returned
from Europe, where he had spent some six
months for the Improvement Of his health. he
appears quite recovered from his illness, and
looks hale and hearty. He has spent fortnight
and a few days in Washington, and he expresses
the opinion, founded upon the indications of
public sentiment, which he has everywhere en-
countered that the House of Representatives
will certainly frame articles OF impeachment
against Andrew johnson, and, vigorously prose.
cute them before the Senate.
