ART NoTEs.-Two of Stanwood's pictures
now on exhibition in Halss window command
general attention and are of more than ordin.
airy merit. The Cimbria at Southwest Harbor
attracts special notice not only from the inter
est of the subject but from the striking manner
in which that subject is treated. 1t shows a
warmth of col jr and delicate sentiment not
usually found in Mr.. Stanwoods paintings.
Bot the picture Of vessel going before a
spanking breeze, hung just above the Cimbria,
calls for even warmer approval by those who
take an interest 10 art. 1t is broad and strong
in general effect, the drawing is perfect, aud
the color though subdued and a trifie cold, is
very pleasing.

A GeOgia Girl's Appetite

The Savannah News says: A party of
merry girls and boys got on the train at
some station between Atlanta and Macon,
bound for home. They were laden with
packages containing oranges, apples, and
other good things and in evident DISPOSE
ton to have pleasant time. Shortly
after the train was in motion the packages
were opened. The girls were bright, rosy
checked, sparkling. eyed maidens, and
ranging in ages between sixteen and
eighteen years. Their escorts were court
eous, manly youths, and having secured
seats convenient for the group, proceeded
to enjoy themselves, utterly oblivios to
the other passengers. One Of the young
ladies ate four large apples, and COM
mencing on paper of oranges, in a few
minutes diminished the number by five,
after which she disposed of fully pound
of sponge cake, when her appetite becom-
ing satiated, she settled back in her seat
and very gracefully gave her attention to
munching COOLERS, ceas;ng operations
when about pint of the fragrant peas
disappeared. Her friends were successful
in demolishing what remained but, in the
opinion of the passengers, this blue-eyed
laughing maiden was entitled to the
champion as healthy Georgia girl

A Ghas1ly War Scene.

A Russian officer, writing to friend
in Cleveland, Ohio, gives the following
horrible narration, a translation of which
we copy from the Herald of that CITY.
He says:E Coming to a place where the
road somewhat widened about two miles
from Tells, we halted, and after driving
away and cutting down in short skirm-
ish a party of Turks who were busy rob-
bing our dead, we stopped to form before
going on. As [ rode along the front
shouting orders to my men, an ,,gonizing
cry for help arrested my attention /
looked round. Nothing but heaps of
dead everywhere. Ol!these;none needed
me. But bark! once more, and again and
again the piteous cries. Hastily dis
mounting, threw the bride over my
sound arm and ran toward some bushes
from behind which the sound proceeded,
and there, In small pool of clotted blood,
lay that which at first failed to recog-
nize as q human being, though human it
certainly was in its piteous cries. and the
seemingly gloved hands that clutched air
and earth in their agony.
The rest, from the waist upward, was
one mass of raw, quivering flesh the face
featureless, eye-ids and eyes cut out. the
man fayed alive, all but the hands, whose
white skin at first gave the impression of
their being gloved. This CHASTITY object
lay few steps from a dead horse, one of
our own regiments golden bays. Faint
at heart bent over the sufferer, evidently
one Of our own men, but now mangled be
yond recognition. He prayed for death
with his poor torn lips, and in minute
moro W., our surgeon, and two more of
our officers we're by my side. made room
for W.,who stopped for few seconds over
our comrade, and then rising, sadly shook
his head, murmuring 'sno help A sud-
den impulse prompted me to seize the
poor helpless hand in my own, and press
ing it, whisper few words Of comfort.
At the sound Of my voice came the sadder
appeal .Nicolai, for old friendships sake,

Alexis, ny old schoolmate, who had q
few hours age shared my breakfast by
our bivouac fire, and then rode away,
handsome and bold, at the head of our
first squadron. He had fallen wounded,
helpless, his horse shot under him, and
the fendish Turks were slowly torturing
him to death when our approach drove
them away. Clasping my hand in his,
he still begged for death My revolver
was empty, discharged in the scuAle
few moments before. Hooked at W., who
silently drew out his, and shuddering in
every nerve, placed the muzzle against
SIS breast, and, with averted face, fired
twice in succession, while still pressed
the poor hand IN mine. We wrapped him
up in my cloak and placing him in the
shallow ditch, rolled boulder over him,
and then, with our hands still moist with
his blood, we swore to each other never
to empty the last chamber of our pistols,
but always to reserve shot for ourselves
and friends, should any of us, wounded,
have to be left behind. May quick
death, soldiers death, be ours.
