SECOND NOTICE.
There many pictures at the exhibition

Union League club for the ladies' reception of last
Thursday evening that worthy of more than
passing notice that cannot forbear returning
them. The star picture of the collection is Leon
Pcrraults "Tcndrcsse Maternele," which is owned
by Mrs Marshall o. Roberts. 1t is simple and pure
conception solid in execution in the figures slightly
disposed to imprcssonism in the landscape setting,
aud opon to some criticism as to its color. How
qusite however, il the expression OF the face OF the
mother, tcndorly smiling, as she bends over her
babe how subtle the modelling and how real and
pure the flesh tints. You would hardly think the

library is imperatively needed and new building
worthy to contain the national library should be
provided by Congress. On this matter the report
says:-
Whatever plan for locating library building may
be agreed upon by Congress- whether by purchase OF
land in the vicinity of the Capitol or by location
upon Judiciary square or other grounds owned by
the United States two considerations should not DO

building sufficient to contain the present library null

sufficient not only to afford proper approaches To
public building of such dimensions. but to admit of
enlargement in than direction in the
future. Any provision for library building which
should overlook these necessities would result in
burdening the country with the cost of two library
constructions instead of one.
