ART MATTERS.


Mr.. r. E. Moore, at No. 81 Union square, has two
good pictures on hand by J. B. Irving. One OF
these pictures Is entitled 1.-THE wine Tasters,"
although we understand that Mr.. Moore intends
best0wng on 1t o cognOmen that Is less euphonious
and little equivocaI. The subject represented Is
clergyman calling upon parishioner and testing
the quality OF his wine, the reader being left to
form his own conjectures as to the circumstances
under which the wine is offered. Possibly the
minister is In search OF communion wine,
and hts portly host is putting him in the
way Of performing a religious duty. Posi-
bly, he is merely making social call and
his entertainer is pressing common courtesy up
on him. Be the circumstances what they may,
the picture is o delightful study. Evidently the
clergyman is no temperance fanatic. He enjoys
the taste Of good cordial, whether 1t be for the
stomacn's solace or for auld lang syne. He stands
with his back and his side:face to the observer,

Mr.. Marra's Colored Photographs.
At the entrance to the same building, No. 81
