PICTURES. -Harry Brown has placed in
Schumacher's art gallery his new painting of
the Giants Causeway. 1t is Characteristic of
his peculiar style, and is pronounced by critics
one of his best marine efforts. On the ex-
IRENE left is huge rock, partially covered
with verdure, portion of range of cliffs
formed of basaltic columns that stretch out in
to the dim perspective At their base the sea is
tumbling in in waves of different shapes LASH
ed into foam, while heavy fog-bank obscures
the horizon.
Another is much smaller picture repre-
senting coast scene on the Isle of Wight
low sandy beach stretches down to the water
with grassy bank ON the left backed by a
massive rock that forms portion of the rug
ged coast extending as far as the eye can see.
The waves are gently rolling in upon the beach
while several vessels are lightly floating upon
the pillows striving to catch the light breeze to
fill their sails. A golden haze hangs over the
whole picture, which is little poem in itself
full of warmth and color. sr
Fred Kimban has also contributed charm
ing little August landscape on the banks of the
Presumpscot: warm and sunny picture, full
of choice coloring.

A SAD FALLING OUT.-It is indeed sad fall
ing out when after years of the closest intima-
cy. the hair parts company with the head. For
tunately the lamentable separation may be east
ly prevented and the twain more closely united
than ever by a Timely and systematic use of
LYoN's KATHARIoN, the most potent invigor-
ant OF the hair an promoter o { its growth and
beauty known to modern pharmacy. 1t COM
pletely obvates the dry and parched condition
OF the roots of the hair, which is preliminary
to its coming out, by supplying the iprecise de-
gree OF moisture requisite to its preservation in
healthy state. 1t is the only true dissolvent
and evaporant of dandruff and other impuri-
ties of the scalp, whose presence is injurious to
the hair. As a beautifier of the head the Ka-
tharion has no equal. 1t not only increases the
quantity of the hair but improves its quality
Immediately, imparting a lustrous appearance
and silky texture which are exceedingly at
tractive. apr1-eod1w&w1t

KITTERY NAVY YARD MATTERs.-The sloop
of war Vanadlia, which has been the receiving
ship at this station for number of years, was
taken from her moorings on Friday, and placed
under the shears She is now being stripped
of all but her lower masts, her guns and equip
ments taken out, and otherwise prepared, for
trip to the Charlestown Navy Yard, where she
will be broken up, and a new one built bearing
her name. The frigate Illinois on which work
was suspended at the close of the war is being
rapidly broken up, and proves to be thoroughly
rotten. The monitor Massachusetts on the
stocks, and which was in more advanced
state than the Illinois, and on which work was
suspended aboat the same time, is fully as
rotten, if not more so, than the other. The
frigate Sabine is expected here this week to
take the place of the Vandalia. About one
hundred and ninety men were discharged from
the construction department on Saturday.
Work is being rapidly pushed on the Monon-
gahela, and on the Tuscarora. The Tuscarora
is in such state of forwardness that she could
be got ready for seq in three weeks of good
weather. Sunday we had about three inches
of snow, which gives us to-day the first sleigh

class engines. Can manufacture engines cheap
or than by contracts with outside parties and
III much more satisfactory manner
Chief of Bureau of Construction and Re-
pairs, Hanscom, testified that he took part in
the contract for the construction of the engines
OF the torpedo boat to be built in Charleston.
The Board adopted his design and that of Ad-
miral Porter for the two torpedo boats, one to
be built under the superintendent of witness,
and the other under the superintendent of Ad-
miral Porter. Witness consulted with several
engineers as to the required engines and OBJ
tanned information of all of them He spoke
particularly to Mr.. Roach as to whether he
could construct compound engines He had
no conversation with other parties about giving
contracts. He did not apply to any Navy Yard
to build engines, as they could not guarantee
the power. He did not know of any law re-
quiring proposals in cases of this kind,
Mr.. Bartlett next took up the subject of the
contract for furnishing iron for boats Wit
ness having directions of the vessel, understood
that he was to baye the purchase of the mate
rial He had no directions from any one, hay
