NEW YORK Dec. 10.
TwEED's ESCAPE.
Some three or four elaborate theories
OF the escape of Tweed have been presented
to the public. The story of an escape In
the bargue Lord Clarendon which wasere-
Gently purchased by q member of the firm
of Charles Tweed Russell & Co., is proved
to have no other foundation than the mere
coincidence of the middle name of Mr..
Russell. The tale of escape in the steam
ship Spain, in which state room was pur-
chased by Charles Lamb, brother OF the
hickman of Tweed's family, is Quoted by
the simple facts that Lambs state room
was taken on the Celtic and that both the
steamers sailed between nine and ten in
the morning Saturday, and Tweed did not
leave the Jail at so early an hour. The
special locomotive hired on the Long Island
railroad is also fully accounted for by the
illness of the wife of Mr.. Clarke a well
known resident of Sag Harbor. The I'm
possibility of an escape by the steam yacht
Thyra, lately purchased at Bridgeport, fit
ted out for long voyage and cleared for
Porto Rico is not yet proved however. This
yacht departed from her mooring in the
early darkness and might have slipped out
through the Narrows before the alarm sent
by thesheriff reached the several cutters lay
ing there The sheriff is seriously at work
in the pursuit, being aware that he must
stand civil action for what part of judg-
ment obtained against Tweed remains un-
satisfied The police are terribly busy
now that the stced has been stolen, but no
clue at last accounts rewarded their her
culian efforts.
A VERMONT ARTIST
MIR. Julian Scott native of Vermont
who | believe has painted some battle
scenes for your state capitol has lately COM
pleted two cabinet picturee one of which
is an army scene, representing officers in
their tent reading dispatches the other de.
picts the duel between Hamilton and Burr.
The "reading of dispatches" shows group
of four men. The senior officer 10 sitting
with his legs resting on brass clamped
army trunk and in his hands is spread out
large sheet of paper, while numerous let
tiers are scattered about him on the floor.
Half in shadow at his side youth, with
bugle in his hand, is listening to the news,
and the two other members of the party
are close to him in front. The figure of
the senior officer is very --.-ii~-s. In ;ta
easy attitude, and is better in this respect
than any picture of Julian SCOTS that we
remember The accessories of his dress
too, are painted with very careful elabora-
ton and the order ON his breast and epau-
lets on his shoulders are made out with
great care. The composition and group
ing of the picture are good, and its color is
rich and mellow toned. The picture which
represents the duel between Aaron Burr
and Alexander Hamilton is on q larger
canvas than the first, and shows in the gray
light an opening in the woods. Pale grass
that looks dark beneath the dark trees fades
off into sckly distance. In the fore
ground is the figure of Burr, accompanied
by the surgeon, and few rods behind this
pair Hamilton is indistnctly seen lying on
the grass with Pendleton his second near |
him. Burr is portrait, but the faces of |
the men IN the distance are too vague to |
appear These two pictures receive hand |
some criticism in the last Appletons Jour
nal.

THE HOTEL BRUNSWICK.

they offer premium of ten per cent. for
Ill paper of theirs which can be procured
