the banks of the river eau be seer an
encampment Of Shoshone Indians. The
mountains tower up to an Immense
hight and look m~agnitieently grand in
their snowy covering. The other pic
ture Is a representation Of an Autumn
scene near New Haven. Connecticut.
The artist has managed to include In
the picture nearly one hundred miles
OF perspective. The trees clad In their
plumage OF gold ami crimson, the
meadows. and Mill River In the die
lance, are all faithfully delineated.
At the same place can be e e another
exquisite Autumn sketch by Mr..
Young. The picture Is "a by 16 inches
and Is valued at $3.50. Mallard also
has two magnificent pictures from the
studio Of II. McCord. One Is entitled
Winter Twilight" aud the other is a
view of Crystal Lake In New York.
The latter picture alone would estab-
lish the artists reputation for origin
atty and genius in his chosen voca-
ton. The painter has represented
with singular fidelity the waters OF the
lake in all the particulars of clearness,
depth and rcpoSe. MallaId, who Is
a connoisseur in art, himself, has also
some very fine English photographs In
water colors.
