Preparing FOR the Picnics.

The Washington picnic season will open in
a few days. Already the signs are ominous,
and the whitewasher aud tissue paper dec
orator are busy adding transient beauty to
the scenes of beer drinking, ''picnic waltz
ing" four-handed brass bands, and the like.
The beer garden picnics are peculiar and
original feature Of Washington. There the
three graces'-beor,.. dancing, and music-are
combined in beautiful" hurloy-burley.
Nearly all of the large breweries have added
picnic parks to their establishments, and the
season promises to be a profitable one. Dur
ing the interval tho antique musician. who
cannot find employment at the winter night
balls, is tuning his cracked fiddle or footing
practice notes on his battered horn in antici-
patton of steady employment during the
season of heat and insects.

AsnlNGToN vs.. brooklyn To-day, 1850.


Patrick Byrne, petitioner in the suit for
divorce from Maria Byrne yesterday filed,
through his attorney, hr, Wsrron C. Stone,
his answer to the rule Of tho court to show
cause why he should not be punished for
contempt for failure to obey the decree of
the court to pay her so per month alimony.
He states that tho decree was passed June
81, 1883, and since that timo he has paid her
sos. He claims that he is poor laborng
man, receiving only So day for his work
and that his left hand is crippled by the loss
of two fingers, and he believes that Mrs.
Byrne is making "a week at dressmaking.
He AYERS that but for her own laches de-
cree in the suit would have been reached
long since, and he believes that the delay is
designed for the sole purpose of eXtorting
alimony; that she has used more of the money
paid to her in the prosecution of her cross
bill than was intended by the court in pass
ing tho order, He asks that the decree for
Rlimony be set aside aud held for naught.

The absence of quorum of members on
every District of Columbia day in the house
was very generally discussed in tho district
committee room yesterday. The members of
that committe arrived at an almost unani-
nous conclusion that hereafter on district
days they will count the number of members
in their seats, and if aquorum is lacking
that they will ask for call of the house and
have the tardy solons brought in by the SER
geant.at-arms. Referring to the matter last
evening member of the committee said !:
THE trouble is that the district is nobody's
constituency. and a majority of congressman
do not feel deep enough interest i'll the well
fare of the beautiful capital city and its
$50, 900 dsfranchsed citizens"

In New York musicians are enjoying a
Patti festival, it being long time since
she made her first bow. This is what a
New York journal says of it:
Exactly twenty -fyey earsago Patti made
her first bow in opera, appearing with
Brignolia and Ferri, who were Edgardo
and Ashton respectively in "Lucia" at the
Academy of music. Had poor Brignolia
lived, he and Patti would have been heard
in the same opera tonight AS it is,
Nevada is to sing in "Sonnambula," and
PATHS anniversary comes Wednesday night
in "Martha." The fact lends a certain in
terest to the notices OF PATHS first appear
ance. Here is one from the Tribune Of
Nov. 25, 1859:
Extraordinary interest was excited last
evening on the first appearance Of Miss
Adeline Patti of this city in the character
of Lucia. The qualities for this role are
full soprano voice, with absolute facility in
the upper notes; thorough volatility of
tone or rapid execution; great power Of
holding tones, especially alternating them
to the last degree; gentle, ladylike de-
meanor, and to some extent clearness Of.
dramatic action. All these Miss ,Adeline
Patti possesses unequivocally. She is

Charcoal drawing is again coming into
vogue, and Mr.. Gerry, ofNsw York city,
is spoken of as having the art to draw in
charcoal, rendering a picture almost as
perfect as an engraving. A New York
writer thus speaks of him.
At least two hundred years since Albert
Durer drew in charcoal, yet methods vary
and consequently effects. The best pre-
paration for the pursuit of painting is in
first mastering light and shade. The late
W, M. Hunt attached great importance to
studies in charcoal. He said one should
paint with charcoal and draw with paint,
intimates that charcoal drawing is similar
to painting with the brush. Some recent
pictures by 5. L. Gerry, which have been
shown in tht artists room in Studio Build
ing, are good examples Of charcoal draw
ing carried beyond the ordinary style of
work 50 as to resemble engravings. Mr..
Gerry has been very successful in this
method, and the results are much ad-
mired. s,4
