Being familiar with the stimulating heal
ing and anodyne properties of ALLcoCK's
POROUS PLAsTERs, commend them as a
most valuable agent in the class of diseases
for which they are intended. The stimu-
lating action when worn over the gastric
region, materially aids in restoring
strength and energy to digestion and the
consequent building up of tissue and re-
storing tone to the general system.

ART.



At Mr.. Stubbs' uptown art store in Con-
gress Square, Mr.. Cyrus F. Davis has arranged
very attractive gallery of paintings. Facing
the entrance is very large oil painting by
George L. Brown, a scene on the Grand Canal
ct Venice. The picture revels in the richness
of coloring that has made this artist famous.
There is that softness of atmosphere so in
separable from Mediterranean and Adriatic
shores; the water has that limpidity peculiar
to the locality; the effect of the sun striking
the old brown sails of the peculiar. schooner
rugged craft in the foreground. and the felucca
of the Doge on the right, call for admiration
and careful study.
Among the other paintings are two of the
best that have been taken from the essels OF
Messrs. Fred Kimball and H. B. Brown. The
former shows green bank with rough rocks
aud stones at its base, while, in the mid
distance, stile is noticeable, and a glimpse OF
hills beyond The sky is excellent, and the
picture is full of sentiment, The latter dis
closes view ON one end of Peaks Island
where an old wreck has been hauled up on the
beach. The peculiar stumpy trees, that adorn
the sandy banks, and the glimpse of old ocean
in the distance, are all faithfully portrayed,
and hold the.sye captive.
4 Beaugersue, a French artist, displays q
capital picture entitled "The Scouts" Two
soldiers dressed in full marching costume, are
peeripg over he side of a low hill about TO at
tack the evenings vanguard and give warning,
Tho painting is instinct with action. Frere
exhibits an eastern scene with peculiarly
striking sunset effscts an Arab encampment
it should be called. There is a most spirited
picture of a settlers head by a Roekland lady.
The pose of the dogs head, the clearness and
capital expression of the eye, the naturalness
of the hair. are all entitled to praise. Mr..
Wood has an excellent painting OF an old mill
in the woods; Miss Skeele shows her portrait
of the late Gov. Washbnrn; Miss Brown ex-
hibits an artistic scene from still life, all of
these latter, together with Kimbal's picture
of the fsh-weir, lately exhibited in the Society
of Art collection. Then there are some lovely
flower pictures by Mrs. Stubbs, especially one
of autumn leaves, and Mrs. G. F. Davis dis
plays charming water-color.

to his niece. The servsnt girl also receives
telegram to come to her sick baby. Each want

found by the wrong persons and the pug and
baby get horribly mixed, and the innocent old
bachelor has to stand all the misery. In the
are secreted in closets in the same room. This
causes worse mixture than the telegram, AMI
at the close of the act everything seems hope
lessly tangled. But in the third act matters
are set to right and the two innocents who
caused all the trouble are brought to light.
Mr.. Frank M. Norcross gave the character of

The Nnr,hcrn Pacific.

NEW YORK, Jan. Tt is understood that
among the names that have been suggested to
succeed Mr.. Willard in the presidency of the
Northern Pacific railroad, are those of John
Sherman, William Window and August Bel
mont The latter, it is reported, was asked to
accept the office pro tom and declined to do so.
1t is said that Mr.. Belmont treated the offer as
facstious compliment, bat that when he was
urged to accept it by some of his associates In
the syndicate OF bankers that have negotiated
the Northern Pacific securities, he refused 10
nnmistakable terms. It is understood chat the
board OF directors would for many reasons,
principally on account of his knowledge of the
property, prefer Vice President Thomas f.
Cakes. For the reason mentioned, his servic-
es are considered of greater value as general
manager of the road. Sc far as can be learned
the special committee of the board OF directors
appoiRted to find successor to Mr.. Willard
he's no one in one in view whose acceptance
can be reasonably relied upon.
