NOTES ON ART.

The London Royal Academy is holding a
sort of centennial loan exhibition of the old
masters flom the private galleries of Eng
land. Three hundred pictures have been
lent by their owners, among which are works
by Van Dyck, Del Sarto, Poussin, Tintoretto,
Correggio, Del Plombo and Domenichino.
Semieradzki's great painting, 1.-THE Burn
ing of Rome Under Nero" which last winter
brought to the artist the golden laurel crown
of the Roman academy, will be notable
feature in the French salon next spring. 1t
is now on exhibition in Vienna, where it
produces sensation, whether Nero ever or
dered the burning of Rome or not.
Another portrait of Mary. Queen of Scots,
has come to light, taken in the tenth year of
her captivity. The art critic of the Athen-
oeum sees in it 'the remains of considerable
beauty" and also "most emphatically and
distinctly a sharp cunning look" The
English can not get over their distrust of
Elizabeth's pretty cousin.
The municipality of Antwerp have de-
cided to abolish the fees heretofore charged
for the sight of Rubens's great paintings in
in the cathedral of that city, and are con-
templating the removal of the Descent
From the Gross" to the city museum for bet
ter preservation. Both the decision and the
contemplation will awaken the gratitude of
future visitors to Antwerp.

A constitutional Peontoa.

The congressional compromise is a pom
tOon bridge laid to enable the nation 10 cross
an unfordable stream. 1t IS conceived in the
most excellent spirit; if the nation walks
quietly and gingerly over it, it may not
come to pieces That is the best that can be
said for it. The stream is there, there is no
ford, and pontoon bridge is better than
nothing. The fault 10 be found with this
scheme Is not in It's details. 1t is in the ten
dency of which it is the latest and most sig
nifcant manifestation. With whatever
wells it may be covered, il is in verify en-
towering Congress to determine the presi-
dency.

THE = OUsE BELOW THE HILL.
BY MRS. S. NJ. b. PIATT.

You ask me of the farthest star,
whittier your thought can clim6 at WILL
/ fear il is not half so far
As is the house below the hill,
Where one poor lamp begins to shine,
The lamp that Is of death the sign
Has it indeed been there for years,
In rain and snow, with ruined roof
For God to look through, day and night,
At mans despair and woman's tears,
While with myself 1 stood alOof.
As one by some enchanted right
Held high from any CHASTITY sights
One of my children lightly said.
"Oh nothing, why must We be stills
Only the people have to cry
Because the woman's child is dead
There in the house below the hill.
i wish that we could see it fly,
1t has gold wings, and that is why?
Gold wings it has? I only know
What wasted little hands ii had,
That reached to me for pity, but
Before thought TO give it-oh,
On earth last rose bud, faint and sad
Less cold than mine had been, they shut.
Sharper than steel some things should cut!

With something of a noble ScOrn

That brief and bitter courtesy
Which awes US in the lOwliest born.
All, soul, to thine own self be true;
Gods eyes, grown human. lock thee through

The women here did everything.
You did not know? You did not knOw?"
/ surely saw the dark brows knit,
To let the living die for bread,
Then bring fair shrOudS to hide the dead!

That troubles man OF woman born,

Not hearing at my very feet
The utter wailing of my kind,
And dream my dream high over it!
oh human heart, what need to beat,

All me, that huttering flower and leaf,
That weird, wan moon and p1t1leSS sun,
And my own shadow in the grass,

 The Camden Beacon of the 24th inst, gives all account of a most das- tardly and cowardly deed which has occurred at Fl Dorado, Union County. Two brothers named Skeins, Jno. kel- ly and Wm. Lesseur, frenzicd by bad liquor made an unprovoked attack upon crowd of negroes with pistols. Three negroes were killed, and the villainous outlaws escaped. Sheriff Smith, how ever, summoned posse as speedily as possible and started in pursuit. If the villains are caught we see no use in giving them the privilege of trial by law. They are outlaws and have no right to claim any right to the usual trial. Let them be simply strung up to the first tree.

The Spirit of Arkansas.

This useful publication has just en- tered upon its second year, and we greet it upon its first anniversary with mahy wishes for prosperous future.

The graceful, half-voluptuous putline of form and feature harmonized with delicately blended tints. On his canvas, the homeliest faces had all all most irresistible charm. The other fouud pleasure only in depicting weird and gloomy subjects. Above all, did he excel in painting the portraits of tue dying. Theagonizing dcath-throe, the ghastly face and form, were all depicted with marvellous fidelity. There existed between these artists the most intense dislike. At length this dislike culminated. The beauty-loyillg artist had been engaged in painting the DOT trait of a beautiful woman. Connois- seurs pronounced it the most wonder ful piece of at that had ever been pro- duced. His brother artist was jealous of his fame and sought revenge. By bribing the keeper of the studio he gained access to the picture each night

Later, his strokes grew bolder and freer, and one morning the artist awoke 10 find the entire outline of the portrait changed. He could scarcely recognize in the emaciated form and haggard countenance the glowing con- ception he had embodied The pallid face and cxpressionless eyes he had attributed to lack ol' genuineness in his materials; but when the outlines were changed he suspected the cause and indignantly dismissed the keeper. What the revengeful artist marred by Q few rapid strokes of his skillful brush was only restored by years of patient industry. Reader, need we name the artists, Health, who paints the fiow- CTS and grassy carpet" no less than the human form divine, e,--Disease, the dreaded artist who revels among the ruins both of nature and humanitv,-- and c relessness, the keeper to whom Health often intrusts his portraits. And is it not the beauty of woman, the most admired of all the works which adorn the studio of Health, that Dis ease oftenest seeks to mar? The slight est stroke of his brush upon the deli-g cate organization leaves an imprint that requires much skill and patience to efface. Restorai ion must be prompt. 'CareI essness must be dismissed.
