GIImpses Of NashriIIe Art.

There is on exhibition at the warehouse
of Messrs. Freeman 4 Orchard, the en-
terprising and well-knOwn manufacturers
of and dealers in mirrors, picture frames,
etc, No. Is North College street, an admir-
ably executed portrait of the late Rev. DIT
A. l.. p. Green, by Cooper. The friends OF
the deceased pronounce 1t per-
feet likeness, in feature, expression and
every other detail. The lamented divine
is represented a. standing in an attitude,
easy, vet dignifed, with his right hand
resting on a Bible and the left hanging at
| his side. To the colOring and general
| finish the artist has given some of his best
| touches, and good judges think the picture
| one of the most creditable yet produced
| by his brush. And the frame, designed
and made in Messrs. Freeman x Orchard
establishment, is also an artistic triumph
| in its line. We are confident that hand
somer piece of work could not be found in
| New York, or elsewhere.
Near b. is a large mirror which has Jusl
been placed in a massive frame OF beautl'
full design and exquisite finish. IL Is
valued at $3.50. The moulding, which eX
