ART.
A Fine Collection of Gems at Hewes'.

AT Mir. Hewes' art store, on Congress Square
there is much at the presen. time to command
the attention of artists and amateurs.
In front window is large picture by Miss
Maria Beckett, that is capital specimen OF
that lady's work. Very little has been seen Of
Miss Beckett's pictures in Portland OF late
years. Some ten years or more ago, land
scape by her was not infrequently noticed.
Those who have not become familiar with her
later efforts have no idea of the advancement
she has made in her profession. The picture
in question represents cluster Of oaks on the
side of sunny slope, with little brook In the
foreground. There is breadth and strength in
this painting to q considerable degree. The
trunks of the trees are faithfully reproduced,
and the foliage is good. The shading OF the
turf in the foreground is we'll managed, and Ii
that in the middle distance is rather vivid, IL
must be remembered that there are times
when, under certain cloud effects the sunlight
will give peculiarly bright green tint to the
grass The picture has been much admired,
and, in Boston, Miss Beckett has received
many flattering notices.
In the gallery there is splendid collection
of etchings. G. U. Platt has an etching on the
ST. John river at Portland, N. B., that was act
ually credited to Marblehead, Mass, in Har-
per's Magazine lately, and yet the two scenes
are similar enough to be twins. Platt shows a
good many etchings He is young fellow,
only q years of age. and yet is doing splendid
work. Then there is superb etching OF
scene at WATERFOWL, by A. +. Bellows, which
is full of the poetry and romance that pertains
to some charming English villages. Smillie
shows several, and besides the etchiDgs there Is
q good display of fine eHgravings.
The great feature Of the exhibition is the
display of Moorish arms, and other works OF
Moorish art At the rear OF the gallery Is
gun-rack, made of wood, oddly carved In ara
besque, and colored. Upon this rack rests
lance, with head and heel Of steel, curiously
inlaid with silver. The staff of the lance is OF
ebonized wood-beautifully inlaid
with ivory. There are two guns (such as are
so well depicted in Weeks's paintings) OF ex-
length, with queer shaped butts'
the latter inlaid with ivory and silver, and the
gun barrels engraved with Arabic and Moorish
Inscriptions There are host OF daggers OF
avery conceivable design, with murderous
looking blades, and powder-horn that must
have been weighty enough of itself before the
powder was poured into it, The ladies will be
especially delighted with two superb salvers,
,r PLAQUES, made Of brass, and marveis OF
delicate engraving. This work is all hand
work, and executed with mallet and small
,teel instrument, like a stylus. One of these
,lacques is almost two feet in diameter. There
ire also, morocco ottomans, such as are used
~ the Moors, and quaint old silver censor.
These arms and other articles of Uertu are the
of gentleman resident here. who
gathered them during an extended tour OF
spain and Morocco, where he spent many
ears.

Duties on Hay.

The following circular, in regard to duties on
hay, has been received at the custom house
from TIE Treasury Department:
By decision Of this Department, dated April
8, 1868, (synopsis 82,) it was held that hay i'm
ported into the United States was to be classi-
fed as a non-enumerated manufactured article,
dutiable at the rate of 20 per cent. ad valorem.
The United States Circuit Court for the
northern district of New York, in the case of
Frazee ct al. VS.. Moffitt, has decided that hay
is dutiable only at 10 per cent. ad valorem, as
non-enumerated, unmanufactured article, un-
der section 2,516 of the Revised Statutes, and
the Attorney General has advised an acquies-
cence in such ruling.
When duties on hay have been exacted in
excess of 10 per cent. ad valorem, and the par
ties in interest have taken the proper steps un-
der section 1881, Revised Statutes, to preserve
their rights to q return Of the excess Of duties
exacted, certified statements in the ufual form
for return Of such excess will be forwarded
to the department.

Fire at fine Match Factorv

About five o'clock yesterday afternoon an
alarm was sounded from the box at the Forest
City Sugar Refinery. A fire was discovered in
the upper one of the drying rooms at the Star
Match Factory on West Commercial street.
The frames had been spread in the rooms and
at o'clock steam was turned on to dry them.
In some way they caught fire. The flames
were confined to the room and the damage was
trivial. A line of hose was run out by the fac
tory people and attached to q hydrant, and
water was put on from two of the steamers.
No. SIS men were present bat their engine was
in the house as the horses were at work else
where. The same trouble delayed No. 1. By

place in the day time then, as has been always
predicted, there will be an urgent demand that
the fire department own their own horses.

TuEsDAY--James Walsh VIZ. Martin Cavanagh
Action to recover damages laid at five thousand dol
lars for an assault and battery upon the plaintiff by
the defendant while upon yard engine on CONNER
cial street in December, 1881. The defendant.
conductor of freight t. an and the plaintiff, also
in the employ of the company as workman IN the
yard were upon the engine and, as the platntin
claims he undet took to get off and to pass by the
defendant that he got behind the defendant, and
between him and the coal bunker, the defendant
bent his body and braced back jamming the plaintiff,
whose back was against the defendants back against
large nut on the coal bunker; that defendant held
him there for nearly half a minute, in1uring his
bowels back, etc., and incapacitating him from la
Dor. ., :
The defendant claims that the plaintiff was on the
engine against the rules of the company; that he
undertook TO get off the side where defendant
stood and where it was his duty to be, nearly push
ing defendant from the engine; that defendant
pushed back into the cab of the engine and let Walsh
mass out; that at no time Walsh between de-
feudant and the coal bunker, nor did defendant
lam or push him against any part of the enginei
That instead of Walsh undertaking to pass behind
defendant he tried to pass in 'front.' and therefore
could not have been damned against the nut of
which he complains. Evidence and arguments
concluded.
