THE BAZAAR OF NATIONS.

THE BAZAAR OF NATIONS.
Now that this novel entertainment hai
ended, 1 can, with propriety, tell what
saw there, without being accused of ad
vertising the affair. The whole thing
was well gotten up, but as the Art Gal
lery was the feature of the Exhibition ]
shall contine myself exclusively to de
scription of a few of the many pieces Of
vertu exhibited. There were 142 pieces
of works of art, all nicely catalogued on
cream tinted paper, and amongst those
which attracted most attention, were the
clone Picket" by A. Carpenter This
was, indeed, true to nature Castle on
the Rhine, Tax on Cotton, by c.. On
gress. The Way-worn Traveller, by G..
Obbler. Mustered Out, by @. Astor, a
very striking exemplifcation of the ar
lists skill. Tales of the Sea, by Her
ring. Nothing could possibly be truer
to nature than this. The Little Indian
was good, and ought to be on exhibition
at the Centennial. The Bust of Com
mentator, by Mercer, attracted very
great attention. Portraits of Washing
ton and Lincoln, by Gummy D. Tampit
were said to be, by visitors to European
Galleries, equal to any works of art they
saw there. Ruins in China, by Ash, was
perfect, but the Old Mill and the Water
fall, called to mind an old familiar scene.
The Shippers home, by Cheeseman,
was, in my judgment, the best piece on
exhibition. You could not hear the old
Skipper talk while looking at them, but
it did not require vivid sketch of the
mind to immagine them living, moving
beings animated with life and vigor. A
more truthful illustration was never pre-
sented by any artist.
To describe all of the 142 would take
more space than you can spare, and, in
word, all were excellent, but those es-
pecially good, were a view of the famous
Switch back, by Hare. Sower of Tares,
by Steele. Coke and Blackstone, by Mi
nor: Combe on the Constitution, by
Horne; Family Jars, by Stone; Sweet
Sixteen, was exceedingly good. L own
up felt Like eating "Sweet Sixteen" 1
fell SO much in love with her. True
Blue, by Barlow, and the Star of Even
ing, by School, are all that shall now
speak Of.
Perhaps, before closing, I had better
mention that the clone Picket, referred
to above, was from the garden fence of
Farmer Brown, the Castle on the Rhine,
was penny castle, on an orange rind;
the Tax on Cotton, was small piece of
cotton with few carpet tacks on it, the
Way-worn Traveller, very old shoe;
Mustered Out, was an empty mustard
cup; Tales of the Sea, were behring's
tails; the Little Indian, spoonful of
Indian meal; The Bust of a Commenta-
tor, was mealy mercer potato that had
been boiled until its skin had burst; the
portraits Of Washington and Lincoln,
postage stamps; Ruins in China, were
broken cup and saucer in an ssh-pan;
the Old Mill and the Waterfall, were a
worn out coffee-mill and somebody's sis
ter's back hair; the Home of the Skip
pers, was piece of very old cheese, the
famous Switchback, was q inches Of
dyed oakum; Sower of Tares, was a nee
die and thread; Coke and Blackstone, a
piece of coke and coal; Combe on the
Constitution, was hair comb on a piece !
of paper on which was written the word
Constitution; Family Jars, were twopre- |
serving Jars; Sweet Sixteen was repre-
sented by fifteen humps of sugar, some
body having eaten one; True Blue was
box Of indigo; and the Star of Evening
was our bright, newsy, prosperous
Evening Star, of which Charles e.
School is the able editor.
RIGHT REV. DIR. JAGeAR.
The conservation of Rev. DIR. Jaggar,
as Bishop Of the Southern Diocese Of
Ohio, took place at Holy Trinity Pro-
testant Episcopal Church, in this city,
during the week. The ceremonies were
truly grand, and imposingin in the extreme. |
The command of the lowly Nazarene to
his disciples to ''be meek and lowly,
seems to have been lost sight Of in this
instance. The ceremonies were under
the direction Of Right Rev. Benjamin
Bosworth Smith, Of the diocese Of Ken !

Church In the United States. Thelong, |

music as the ssVenite Exaltemus" (Gre-

Southern and up the middle aisle toward
the chancel was an imposing sight, sell
