Privnts Residence.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Il Hobbs during
their VISIT to the New Orleans Exposition IN
Masch were much enameured Of Q study
from the brush of s. Won Epgelcn, q noted
artist of Antwerp, Belgium. The painting
WAS on exhibition in the Art Gallery. and
attracted much attention from the hands OF
.connoisseurs from ell portions ofthe country.
After his return to this city Mr.. b. wrote
on. and through the Intervention of an
artist friend, secured the painting at D. cost
of $4,000.
The painting arrived in Wheeling yester-
day morning and was Immediately hung In
q well chosen corner Of the large saloon
~parlors. The study represents q game mar
ket. Tie marble slabs of the counters and
the adjacent walls are hung and covered BY
quantities of game. Rabbits, p~heasants,
Quail, canvass back ducks and snipe are in
cluded in the list, and are produced with q
faiihfulness that would make the mouth OF
an epicure water at the contemplation o.
such a feast. The central figures OF the
painting are the master of the shop and q
petite French maid, who apparently,
nom the basket containing o
dressed fowl hung on her arm, is doing
The marketing for her mistress. The master
is holding q large hare up for inspection and
is apparently hsggling with his customer as
10 its price. The half figures are life size,
and SO realistic that a person naturally list,
ems Tor half a moment, as though expecting
the figures speak. The French maid
ia represented as q beautiful brunette,
the delicate ife,ike coler of her fair face,
and arms barred TO the shoulder, contrasting
well with the black dress, ornamented at the
throat with q rosebud. The dainty white
apron and Grisette cap, with which the cos
tune is completed, are all in pertec'
harmony with the correct details
of the study. The mar is represented as
a lively, good natured fellow Of stalwart pro
portions, and evidently from the halflaugh'
ing halftender expression on his counte'
nance is thinking far more Of the pretty face
in close proximity to him than OF the paltry
price of his game. His dress is perfect, even
to his coarse blue checked apron which
hangsin such loose, careless folds, as to rem
der It next to impossible to discover the i'm
position except by close inspection. Mr.
Hobbs is highly elated over his securing the
masterpiece, and is confident that had the
artist now been dead his fame would have
been such that s., 900 could not have
secured it. The painting is mounted in q
massive gold frame, six feet in length BY
FIVE in width. Mr.. b. extends q cordial IN
~vitation to all lovers or art to visit his par
lors and inspect the masterpiece.

How Two Make n Spectacle of Themselves
and a Chump of Young Man.
1t is nothing unusual to see men pitch
into each other and create q scene, but th,
monotony was relieved yesterday, on tn,
Fair Grounds, when two girls made q de
cidedly public exhibition, or rather q spec
tacle Of themselves. The cause of the
trouble was q young man, and he was
shown up in great style by the girls. One
Of these had him apparently in her charge
when another girl came up an
claimed that she had NOR
right to the boy than her rival. Then the,
almost pulled the chap to pieces and mum
GER one came off victor and the youni
fellow tamely allowed the girl to lead him
away. Shortly the party came togethe'
again when another round ensued and thu
former victor doomed up in that unenviablt
position again, leading the fellow off il
triumph. The d~isgraceful scene was wit
messed by o large crowd and the partic,
pants were hooted and laughed at unit
hey ought to have been shsmed, but Their
cheeks remained ~untinged.
