At the meeting of the Travel club Saturday
evening in the parlors of Mrs Lockwood and
Miss Rixford, No, $40 Twelfth street, tho
members and their friends were favored with
u most entertaining and instructive lecture
ON the Russian Festival of Remembering the
Dead, by Mr.. George Konnan, the author Of
"Tent Life in Siberia" Mr. Kennans de-
lightful manner as lecturer is well known,
and his experience as traveller supplies him
with an abundant fund of information which
he knows well how to impart. The lecture
was followed by an informal discussion of
topics suggested and interesting statements
of the actual impressions Of the lecture from
residence in Russia, The evening was most
pleasantly varied by music by Miss Scott and
Mr. q. NJ, Clarke. In a similar manner the
club will continue its travels through the

sula have already been visited, and the club
now halts once week in Russia to listen to

Meeting OF the Light House Board.

AT u meeting of the light house board, the
project for the establishment of Il light on Dry
Romer, New York bay, was approved. Con-
gress will be asked to make the necessary APP
preparation. The board also took measures to
secure permanent site for the proposed eleC-
trio light tower, on Hallett's Point He'll Gate,
n. Y. The contract for the construction of
this tower is held in abeyance. The special
committee to which was referred the subject
of the proposed transfer of the light house
service from the Treasury department to the
Navy department. made a report to the effect
that any change in the present system would
be detrimental to the service. The report was
approved by vote of four to two. Two
members of the board We're absent, Rear Ad-
miral Baldwin and Professor Morton. 1t is
understood that the two dissenting votes were
cast by Vice Admiral Rowan and Capt. Pick
ing Of the navy. The board approved the
sites selected for the light house at Musquito
Inlet, Fla, and that at Little Waivers bay,
Mich The subject of changes in the lights
ut cape Elizabeth and at Matinicus rock, on
the coast of Maine, was again considered, and
referred to a committee. As the board adj
heres to its former action regarding the dis
continuace of one light ut each of the points
named, it is probable the qcstion will be re-
ferred to congress for settlement.

nnd GrowIing Got Them Home.
The GROWERS started for New Yorl. last
night, growing because New York would
not come to them. 1t must be great thing
to profess growing and live up to it to be
so thoroughly saturated with tho spirit of
growing as to growl ut everything, whether
it be eight hours work a day or eight days
work in an hour. These GROWERS accept
nothing "Whatever is wrong" is the blue
china motto they are supposed to live up
to-. They arose at their hotels and growled
because the sun didn't rise in the west; went
through the dressing process growing be-
cause their suspenders were twisted went to
the bar and growled because the bartender
wore a cleaner shirt than any of them; swal-
lowed their cocktails and growled because the
lemon peel was too old went over to tho
Treasury department and growled because it
was not larger; saw the immense iron safes
and growled because they were not smaller !;
turned the doorknob to como out and
of any reason for staying longer I;
they viewed the glittering heaps of coin and
huge bundles of greenbaCks in the treasury
vault, and sent up one long, universal growl
because it was not all their own went to the
capitol and growled because the bronze Liberty
wouldn't at least salute them with q bow.
They growled because Oscar Turner did not
get the trace chains put on the free list, and
growled because Mr.. Cox was not there to
growl; they growled because the
senate bill was not in the house. and because
the house bill was not in the senate they
growled becauss the Kasson rule was not
trotted out to announce them and they
growled because they did not know what the
KassOn rule was. They came growing and
returned growling-growling at the water
and at the gas, at the bobtail cars, and at the
switchtail cars, and went OFF growing at the
sleeping cars. In fact, they made sort OF
business of growing as it were

compensatIon OF Naval Onlccrs.

The second comptroller of the treasury has
decided several questions of interest to naval
offices in connection with the provisions Of
the act of Aug. 5, 1852, relating to officers on
shore duty, In the case of Com. X. w. Shu'
feldt, who was ordered from Santa Barbara,
Cal, to Washington, for duty on the naval
advisory board and also to examine the moni'
tor Monadnock at Mare Island, Cal, the
comptrolles decides that he is entitled to
"other duty pay" and that payment to him
for services is not deemed to be prohibited by
the third section of the act in question. In
the case of Assistant Naval Constructor Feas-
ter, who did not receive an order placing him
on waiting orders until eight days after it
took effect, the second comptrollc; has de-
cided that the act of Aug. 8, 1SS2 does not
have the effect to remove the officer prior to
the time of receiving the order, aud that he
is therefore entitled TO pay for the interven-
ing period. In regard to the case of Lieut..
II. NJ. Cults, who was detached from the navy
yard, Mare Island August g. 1882, to report
for duty in Washington, October Ia, and in
which the fourth auditor disallowed the
"Other duty pay" after date of detachment,
the second comptroller has decided that
" the act o. August 5, 1882, had the effect to
relieve this officer from duty to which he
had been ordered before the act took effect
He could not disobey the order which directed
him to proceed to Washington and report FOL
duty, and neither the letter nor the spirit OF
the act will deprive an officer of the pay fol
the performance of duty which he could not
lawfully ayoid.H

SOME FINE PICTURES
BY Michigan Artist Now on Exhibition
at BarlOw'S Gallery,

Prof. James Fairman, NJ. A., has on exhibit
tion at Barlow's gallery, a number of pictures.
being in part ordered works, exhibited before
being delivered to their owners. Each pic
turc is an original from nature. There are
six Of them, embracing "Lifeboat of the
Cliffs of Etretat," Stratford- Won Avon"
"Sunset from the Mount of Olives" "Sun-
shine after the RAIN" "Dunblane Cathedral,
Scotland" and "Sunsct over Sterling Castle"
These works are entitled to more than the
ordinary attention bestowed OH passing ex-
hibitions. They profess to be an attempt 10
base school of art upon an eclectic treat
ment of the current European methods. The
subjects and treatment are so diversified
that each might be taken as the work of u
different artist. The " Mount OF Olives " and
Sterling Castle arc bold attempts at sun
sets of the most brilliant type, and seem TO
show the influence of Turner in the artists
work. The "Lileboat" reveals a heavy, re-
alistiC deep water sea, overhung by threat
cning, uncertain sky, with the strug-
Cling crew pulling ther boat through the
crest of % mighty wave. The technique
of this work gives q good illustration Of the
combination of the Bclgic English with the
French schools of treatment. The two STRAIT
ford pictures are in widely different vein
from the others representing as they do the
quiet pastoral English landscape. The even
ness Ofthe varied elements required to produce
these pictures show the fruits of the artists
long student career. Originality and power
are manifest in all, there being decided de-
parture from the conventional and academic
mannerisms now prevailing.
Prof. Fairman is an art scholar and a theo-
rist. He believes that while the spirit OF
creative genius is beyond the power of philo'
sophie analysis, yet it is true Of painting, as OF
the sister arts, that great amount of what is
vague experiment in the studio can be formu
lated as scientific tutive knowledge. The
London Art Journal in discussing Prof. Fair
mans methods considers his influence on
American art as of much importance.
