BesIoe's island. in New York harbor,
where the great liberty statue from France
is to be erected, has a curious history,
which makes it an appropriate place for a
memorial to liberty. Its owner was Mr.
Isaac Bcdloe. and in 1870 the governor Of
the state issued an instrument declaring
that, for and in consideration Of valuable
improvemen ts made by Mr.. Bedloe On
his island, ii should in the future be
known as Love island, aud should be a
privileged place. where no arrests could
be made or warrant served except by spe-
cial consent of the governor. The people
did not take kindly to the change Of name;
the island continued to be known as Bed

Of the island, deeds were found to

TRICKS OF THE PICTURE TRADE.


semi-Annual sales OF the verisst Daubs-
a Crowd OF Dummy
Cor. Brooklyn Ragle.l
The auction sales held in dingy down
town rooms, usually unrented shops,
are a perpetual surprise to those who
have passed their aesthetic pupilage.
Nothing but the most childish tasteltan
demand those ~wearisome, shallow,
falsely colored and wholly artificial
landscapes, with their ugly brown tones,
their sprawling trees, their streams
laden with highly improbable sails their
cheap and panty character.
A man once lived in this city who did
quite a business in the manufacture of
these things. He hired a place and
filled the back room with alleged artists
who made 50 a day smearing canvas
with the yilest pretenses of works of
art. lie used to have semi-annual sales
in Brooklyn and others in New York
and various other cites, when these
daubs made their appearance in cheap
but gaudy frames, to which were APP
pended the names either OF respectable
artist or others that 60 closely approached
them that the intended deception was
evident. Thus, you would see Beerstat
for Bierstadt, De Hass for De Haas,
Cassaler for Casilear and so on.
The sales always took place by gas
light. which mellowed somewhat the
garish color of the so-called pictures
and caused their frames to shine with
fictitious brilliancy. A number OF
dummy purchasers started the crowd
and forced the bidding, and pictures
worth 81 and 81 sold for SEQ, $50, and
sometimes 500. With keen satisfac-

more than otherwise, but his sale was
spoiled, and he moved to New York di-
rectly afterward.
