ANOTHER APoTHEosIs.
Another picture to the memory Of Theirs
is by Jules GARNER, the pupil of Gerome,
whose Ella Sultane Favorite" was remarked
at the last Salon. 1t represents IN. Theirs
at the Last Sitting of the National Assem-

Hughes Merle's dramatic and vigorous
.Charlotte Corday" will be much admired.
The bold woman is seen standing at the
door Of Murat's house knocking for admit

horses at the grand trot, bearing traveller
deep in his robes. To the right of the
vehicle three mendicant pilgrims stagger

almost under the heels of the horses to ask
for aims.
FINE LIGHT EFFECT.
The light is furnished by the aurora

in the muddy road. the street lamps and a.
torch held by the goodman. The picture
