Invitations have been sent to all the dis

eig1lers, especially from Europe, quite
number having already returned acGeptances:
As 4 whole, the conclave will be the largest
and grandest affair of the kind ever seen IN
the world. The one at Cleveland in 1877 was

that time; but those in the procession num-

August is between 1900 and 5000, OF whom
at least II, 600 are Sir Knights. Although the
time for the receipt Of applications expired
on the Sd inst, all who come will be given
attention to, and the Committee will do the

the brethren by finding them quarters; But
as before stated, measures will be taken to
provide for all who come.

SUNSET.

The golden chariot OF the God Of Day
Declines along the Western, azure steep,
And, rs it moves upon its downward way,
It's mighty orb approaches to the Deep
Slowly 1t nears the lght-refiecting wave,
While. ready Night prepares t invade our
sphere
Soon as 1t sinks into its tabled grave,
In which its gaudy splendors disappear.
Now all the waves with golden crests are
crowned,
Casting their radiance on the dazzled eye;
While ruddy brightness, scattered far around,
1l1umes with glory all the glowing sky,
Like some angelic robe, each silver cloud
That floats the dim AERIAL regions through.
Trims the fast-fading edges Of its snroud,
With gorgeous fringes Of a sanguine hue.
The broad disk slowly dips into the main,
Which his expiring beams in win Hume;
The twil1ght-shadows overcome his reign.
And all the Earth sinks in the growing gloom
Slowly the darkness orerspreads the sphere,
Then yields unto the moon, pale Evenings
eye,
Which, with the stars that in Its train appear,
With pallid splendor light the sunless sky.

BENJAMIN Brandreth.

Nttu York 1imes, Feb TO-
BENJAMIN Brandreth, the proprietor Of
Brandreth's pills, died suddenly at his resi-
dence in Sing Sing yesterday morning, Of
apoplexy.
MIR. Brandreth was born in England, where
his father and grandfather before him had
been engaged in the pill business in admitted
way. Benjamin was the first Of the family
to conceive the idea Of enlarging the busi-

Benjamin came to this country, and began

ART NOTES.

Academy of Design Exhibition.
At the gallery Of the Academy Of Design,
a brief account Of whose reception Tuesday
evening has already appeared in these
columns, are several pictures worthy of crit
ical study, and as a whole the collection is
much above the average display when not
reinforced by foreign contributions. The
place of honor is assigned to Mobiles "Idle
Dre:;as." A yeritable Cinderella, bare-armed
and i'll the costume OF the kitchen, surrounded
by pots and pans, has fallen asleep in rather
riclzety chair at the kitchen-table. One arm
is thrown back over the chair, while the other
supports the head Of the sleeper. A misty
halo forms the background, and on the nim-
bus is outlined the Prince and the Fair Gill
derella, dressed in the most gorgeous Of
fifteenth century robes. On the floor lies a
weli-thunbed and somewhat dilapidated
book, containing in all probability the story
which has inspired the dream. This is the
most important work Of Mr.. Noble that has
been exhinited in this city, since his
equal in force or treatment. The conception
OF idle Dreams u is in the main quite pleas
ing. Romance and chiya1ry are not confined
to the parlor or salon; they can be found in
the kitchen and the attic: a little more
dreamer would have added materially to tie
beauty Of the conception. Technically there
are several blemislles. The outlines Of the
figure are not sufficiently rounded off. and
tile shadows beneath the table fail to indicate
any depth. For this reason there is fat
ness that destroys the perspective effect.
A portrait of Judge Mark Skinner by
Healey is III that artists llappiest vein. The
heatl is i'll profile; the modelling is excellent.
the flesh tints and texture true TO nature, and
the portrait may be regarded as speaking
likeness.
For Dartmouth College the same artist has
also painted the portrait Of Mr. John Went
worth, giving full face view Of the rugged
and massive ex-Congressman. The express
sion suggests ;. Long John" presiding over
not over-orderly political meeting, and with
this his fellow-citlzens are the more ia
lniliar.
