A VETERAN ON THE RAIL.-Among the
many veteran railway conductors whose long
and faithful service have won for them high
places in the respect and affection of the trav-
cling public, few have seen longer service or
held higher places than Conductor Brooks, of
the Worcester and Nashua Road. Mr. Brooks
began his service as conductor when that road
was opened in 1S49 and for twenty-six years
has scarce missed single train. He has never
been laid aside by sickness, has always had the
favor and respect of his superiors, and no one
of the millions of passengers who have been in
his care have suffered the slightest injury while
travelling on his trains. Truly remarkable
record.
Conductor Brooks is now in charge of the
Steamboat Express train on our new line to
New York via the Portland and Rochester.
We scarcely need say that the patrons of that
route will find his genial presence, his gentle
manly courtesy and watchful care, not the least
Of the attractions of the route.

ART NoTEs.-Two paintings have just been
received at Hale's which deserve more than
pa ssing attention. They are both from the
brush of Champney. and are both White
Mountain scenes. One represents the valley
of the Saco, looking up from Bartlett, near
"George's." Mount Carrigan looms up in the
centre, while the lesser hills flank it on either
side. The long meadows at Bartlett where the
river widens for little, forms the foreground.
Through the cleft in the hills the mellow sun
shine of October is streaming, bathing the
front of the picture in food of mellow light.
The painting is warm in color, correctly drawn
though perhaps showing some indecision in the
foliage, and admirably reproduces the feeling
of an autumn day in the mountain region.
The other picturelrepresents the Ripley Falls
on the side of Mt. Wiley, discovered by Mr..
H. w. Ripley of this city. The painting ex
hibits great vigor in handling, and much bold
ness of treatment. The water falling down
the sheer descent of $50 feet, the rocks rising
on either side with their fringe of green, and
the pines which crown the summit, bear an
equal part in the picture; while streak Of
sunshine just breaking over the brink of rock
lends needed touch of warmth to the some
what. sombre scene.

wagons. vans and general paraphrenalia to
remain until after midnight, when the labor

three hundred grooms and canvasmen returned
to their comfortable quarters on the cars and
passed the day in quiet repose.
