tribute to this exhibition very few have less
than three pictures in It, and many have five
and seven.
OF those Justly noted for their water color
paintings b. Swain Clifford, the elder Morans
(rhomas and Edward, brothers), Louis c.
Tiffany, Edwin A. Abbey (who is most Of his
time in Europe), X. NJ. Shurtlile, Walter Sat
terlee, and Benoni Irwin are the considered
leading artists. Young Edward Moran has
two young sons who paint already beautiful
things. Walter Paris, of Washington, ID. O.,
has picture on South Downs, Sussex, Eng
land" which attracts attention as fine work
of art and another natural one of "Sheep-
washing in Sussex" De Lancy w. McGill,
also of Washington, has in three pictures,
An April Day" Mr.. Peggotty's Home"
(natural to Mr. Dickens's descripton), and
" Impression," before which people linger,
which is a proper tribute to their merit
Two curious pictures of Il. s. Church were
commended by artists, but did not please some
professionals; one the Lion in Love" and the
other Confidence" In both the subject
seemed absurd and the color unnatural, but
artists pronounced them good. Tho pleasant
pictures are always to non-connosseurs those
the most like what is seen in life, and In

In the rooms devoted TO etchings there are
numborless pretty and meritorious pieces
but they are not catalogued, and the nature
of both subjects and artists is written so in
distinctly and small that with the exceptions
of Seymour, Haddon, Burton Lafarge, Ste
phen Parish, Nicoli, Thomas Moran, and a
few Others equally well known, the tickets
on the pictures are useless without q micro
scope. Perhaps Mr. Brown wrote them, and
he always carries large magnifying glass
so imagine others.
Mr.. Brown, the custodian of the gallery
complains that depression in the money mar
Set of Wall street creates q scarcity of buyers
for their pictures, but as the sales IN the two
weeks that the gallery has been open amount
to $4,000, somebody must have money. And
somebody does have money, or the New York
women could not spend the amount they
must in order to wear the velvets, satins, dia'
monds sealskins, and other extravaganza
they always appear at public places in. That
all New York can afford the dress
their wives appear in is impossible
and hard as the assertion is, there
seems reasonable truth in that made by
"man about town." whose experience in New
York life enabled him to know what he was
saying that it took three moneyed men to
support New York woman. With too many
dress is the sum bonum of existence, and fine
clothes they will have. What Mrs. Wander.
bilt or Mrs. Stewart and o thousand Others
can afford ten thousand others cannot, but
they have just as fine clothes as millonaires
and one, or numbers of ones, pay the bills
And still we build churches whose spire:
reach the clouds, and have most orthodox
theology preached in their pulpits, while So
ciety is being demoralized that women may
dress" FRITZ.
