ART AND DECORATIVE NOTES.

The Metropolitan Museum in New
York now shows in the loan collection a
large number of copies by leading Amer
loan artists of works by old masters
Some of them are exceptionally good.
The masters most frequently copied are
Remhrandt. Halls. Velasquez. Vandyck,
Paul Veronese and Titan.
1t il not generally known that the i'm
itations of rare grain feathers now SO
common in fancy articles is effected by
means of photography. A genuine sepl,
alligator, boa, or other costly skin, is
photographed, then printed on sensitive
gelatine, the parts not acted upon by
light dissolved ont in water. and cast
or An electrOtype plate then made IN
copper or type metal, as prtctised in
the reproduction of engravings, and
then the metal plate and the smnoth
leather of some domestic animal are
passed between rollers under pressure.
and the figure on the plate is perma-
nently fixed on the leather by the pres
sure. Any of these feathers may be
stained, colored or dyed to any tint re-
quired. but the plain black or the color
left by the tanning process il generally
preferred.
The revival of antique feathers in
house decoration is very marked. The
homes Of the New York millionaires are
furnished with 10 in many ways. Not
only are wall hangines OF this material,
bat ceilings of the same are introduced
IN libraries and reading ROOMS The
process of painting upon leather in i'm
itatiou of the old antique illuminating
feathers is a trade secret in possession of
an Englishman who has long lived in

The New Age occasionally takes great
pleasure in personally attacking one Of our
citizens without cause. In It's last issue il
seeks to belittle Ma. Gallagher's military rec
ord, hoping il may injure bis candidacy -
Adjutsut General. Those who have known
Mr.. Gallagher since his connection with the
State House, know him to be gentleman Of
standing and high moral character, as much 90
or more than either of the editors Of the New
Age, who evidently deem it high minded duty
TO attack good citizens; and now they try to
deceive the people by ignoring some of his
military service. The records show that Mr.
Gallagher first enlisted in August, 1862, at
the age Of Is years and was mustered in Oct
10, 1852. He was promoted to Commissa-
~ Sergeant and mustered ont August IA,
1868, after serving some two months over
his time of enlistment Before leaving the
service he was rendered a commission and
was examined by General Andrews in CON-
mand at Fort Hudson, La, and accepted, and
while in the discharge of his duties was taken
with partial sunstroke, followed with chills
and fever and was advised by his surgeon to 60
home with bis regt. The chills and fever hung
to him for months and weeks every other day.
But as soon as he had nearly got free from
the digesse he reenlisted in the spring of
1869 and was commissioned in the l4th Me-,
and served in the State of Georgia until his
services were no longer required. The i'm
preston the New Age trys to convey. is that
he served but once and then went no further
thvn Galloup Island. The facts are, he re-
mained there about week or fortnight
until the transport, the Blackstone, was
