MILTON SAYLER,
Nriss spencer,s Reception

The gathering Of social, literary and
art celebrities at Mary Spencers studio
on Saturday last was one of the events
of the season, and inaugurated, we hope,
a new era in the history OF art in this
city. Many people who delight in pic
tuies would be glad to visit the dteliers
of the leading artists apd look over their
collections of art treasures, but feel
delicacy at what they fear might be
deemed an intrusion in calling without
special invitation. Miss Spencer, by in
defatigable industry and zeal In her pre-
fession, has achieved foremost posi-
ton among the artists Of this country,
and indeed in certain branches is the
peer OF artists in any country. 1t is,
therefore, the more fitting that she in
augurate the pleasant custom of throw
ing open the doors and admitting to the
hitherto tantalizing seclusion of the
studio such portion Of the cultivated
public as will feel genuine delight in pic
lures. Miss Spencer's rooms were
thronged from until o'clock on Satur-
day afternoon.
Among those present we observed a
number OF persons Of literary and social
distinction and most Of the leading
artists: Mr.. Weber, Mr.. Quick, Mr..
Grafton, MIR. Lindsay, Mr.. Baumgartner,
Mr.. Sharples, and possibly others whose
names do not recur at this moment. We
heard the hope SO frequently expressed
by those present that MISS spencer
would set apart one or two days each
month for her friends to drop in uncere-
moniously to discuss art and enjoy her
pictures. that we are inclined TO join
our request to those and urge her to do
so. we sincerely hope that the other
artists OF Cincinnati will follow suit,
and we can assure them that the general
public will enjoy the agreeable innova-
ton.
We intended to speak in detail OF Miss
Spencer's pictures, but must deter until
another day for more full consideration
OF their various excellences. One flower
piece, the leading feature OF which is
begonias, would not remain unsold iif-
teen minutes ifexhibited in any city on
the globe except Cincinnati, or else our
Judgment is very much at fault. We
shall claim the pleasure Of another after
noon at Miss Spencer's rooms and a more
careful study and NOTICE Of her pictures.

CIairvoyants in Trouble.

Doctor and Madame Raphael reside
on the south side of Richmond street,
near John, where they practice in sec
ond sight, clairvoyancy, &c. They came
to this country from England. and both
are upward of seventy years of age.
Elizabeth Reynolds, an unmarried
woman, about thirty years old, near
two months ago visited the Raphaels to
be treated. Miss Reynolds, about six
or seven months ago. made an unfertu-
nate attachment, and is now in an un-
comfortable predicament.
Madame Raphael gave her eleven pow
ders for whicn she charged fee OF $40.
The powders, meant to produce all abor--
tion, did not have the desired effects.
Miss Reynolds returned to the house of
the Raphaels and was turned over to
the Doctor, who, after getting her
sufficiently scared by showing her medi-
cal plates relating to her condition, de-
manded another $40. The woman had
but 81, and the Doctor refused the case.
Consulting her attorney, Miss Reyno DIS
acquainted the Coroner with her story.
She was advised to call on the doctor"
again and did so last Friday. She re-
ceived some more medicines and placed
them in the hands OF the Coroney.
Then warrant was served Dy Lieu
tenant Meara. and the Coroner confis-
Gated all the medicines and surgical in
struments which he could find in the
house of the Raphaels. Tie medicines
consisted Of pills, powders and liquids.
They were not named, but numbered
and marked by caballstic signs. The
"Madame" was too i'll to be taken to the
Station-house, but her husband was ar
rested. He furnished bail for himself
and wife shortly after.
The venerable couple appeared be-
fore Judge Lindemann this morning, and
their cases were laid over till the 10th
instant.
