The Art Exhibition at the Greenlaw
OperahOuSe.
At the Greenlaw Operahouse, on Thursday
evening, was inaugurated the series of art
exhibitions to be given for the benefit of the
Leath orphan asylum. These entertainments,
in addition to being highly artistic and very
beautiful, are eminently instructive and enter
tanning, giving the traveller an opportunity OF
recalling the beauties of his foreign travels,
and to those less fortune, whose knowledge
of foreign COUNTRIES Is derived wholly from
books, a vivid and an absolutely accurate pic
ture of the numerous places of interest men
toned in them. The pleasures of actual
travel are brought within the reach of all, by
means of these entertainments. Large au-
diences have greeted the three entertainments
given with marked enthusiasm. The exhibit
lions have proved decided success. On Thurs
day evening "Paris' was presented in all its
splendor. The audience was escorted through
its gay and festive streets, alive with leople.
They stood before the magnificent monu-
ments, columns, palaces and statues. They
were made to view the grand architecture OF
its historic buildings and wandered through
the halls, corridors and galleries. They stood
on the banks of the river Seine, and rested
in the parks and squares; and then
standing before the splendid monu-
ment of Napoleon's great victories, the
"Arch of Triumph of the Star" the greatest
treat of the evening was to behold the retieros
upon the facade as clearly defined to the eyes
of the spectator as if he had been close to 1t
under the loveliest sky OF June IN Parls:
Next, the statue CT the celebrated work OF
classic art, the "Venus of Milo" was pre-
scented to make one believe that one stood
before it in the Louvre palace. Nothing
could have been more beautiful and more
realistic. 1t alone is worth going to Paris
to see. Friday evening Rome" was pre-
baA .f ha i'hnr2haV
was a success, that of Friday was decided
success. The collection of views of the
eternal City" is the best and most complete
ever attempted. 1t contains all of interest,
historically and artistically, and the audience
passed on this evening through course Of
history from the earliest time to the present
day, which for interest ana beauty cannot be
described. Beginning al the beginning they
were gradually conducted through the vari-
GUS stages of Roman power and Roman de-
cay, the middle ages, the present times. 1t
was object-teaching In the sublImest sense OF
the term. The views of famous statues on
this evening are especially worthy of mention
as beautiful representations of tie originals.
The statues appeared to stand out In bold
relief, as they would In the studio. 1t is
difficult to believe that they are not the mar
BILE images standing upon the stage, so truth
full is the picture. Every line, every shade
and shadow of the original, finds it prototype
IN the representation. On Saturday even
ing Germany" was the subject for illustra-
ton, including views In Austria. The pub
lie buildings of Vienna, Berlin, Munich,
Cologne, Stuttgart, Solzburg and other prin
opal cities were presented in a thoroughly
natural manner. The scenes on the Rhine,
including the immense castles of the Feudal
Ages, that are to be seen on either shore,
and constitute tour of the Rhine, one of
the most interesting and romantic In the
world, besides the finest specimens Of works
of art to be found In the museums and gal
leries of Germany, were as perfect as nature
itself The dis solving sets that form part
of every entertainment, the Flight of Mer-
curry" water Babies" and the Rock of
Ages" form each, alone, such effects of
beauty worth the admission fee charged.
The entertainments are simply incompara-
BILE, and those that do not go early and often
miss the greatest treat yet offered to our citi-
zeus. During the coming week the exhibit
tons will be continued every evening and on
Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. To-
morrow England and Scotland will be the
subjects for illustration, including complete
tours of London and Edinburgh.
THERE can be nothing more disgusting to
the credulity of the public than to read of
'cure all nostrums" so frequently advertised.
The idea is simply preposterous. How diff
