Browns Studio.

At this Christmas season, when every one
Is bothering his brains as to what to choose
as gift there is no better oh dice that can
be made than a fine painting which outliyes
the holidays and remains matter of enjoy
ment for years to come. A visit to Mr.. Fl,
B. Browns studio, in Motley Block, will
convince art lovers that here is a variety of
subjects affording large field from which
selection can be made Mr.. Brown, antici-
pating the wants of the holiday public. has
caryasses that are fairly within reach of
moderate purses and are little gems of art.
Among the beautiful views on exhibition
is one from the back side of Portland Light.
A long point of land extends into the ocean,
bearing several old buildings, whose walls
under stress of weather have toned down, so
that their quiet grays, or dull browns, har-
monte with the young green of the sur
rounding foliage, and the mellow effects of
the lights reflected from the quiet, ripping
waves in the cove in the foreground. In
the distance lie becalmed the fishing fleet of
some three hundred sail. There is an appear
snce Of repose about the picture that is very
attractive. A charming morntainIscene is a
view at Bartlett from whence Mr.. II. N.
Jose's old mill was removed The quiet poo l
In the foreground, the charming foliage that
surrounds it, and the snow-capped noun
tains in the distance, are admirably ham
died. Another scene is Frank joys barn
yard at Bartlett, with the hens feeding in
the foreground and the Willoughby Hills
rising gradually in the background. The
values of this painting are well preserved
audit has been highly praised by the best
critics. There is second view of the same
yard, with all its surroundings, that make
the picture truthful representation of farm
life, and also of charming New Hampshire
scenery. There is a picture of the West
Branch of the Peabody River that is aston
ishing for its breadth and suggestiyeness- In
that moderate-sized painting there is ample
subject for the largest canvass,--in the grand
storm effects among the mountains, the giant
pines, whose trunks, scathed by the light
ming, have stood the tempests of years, the
rushing mountain streams in strong contrast
with the peaceful quiet of the fore
ground. There are marines with all
the rock and atmospheric effects that Brown
paints so we'll and there Is rare palette

tween which torrent pours, emptying into
rocky basin. The rock on the extreme
right has assumed the figure of an old
Indian chief whose reckoning finger calls
from the uprising foam of the cataract the
forms Of the spirits that haunt the spot
Mr.. Brown is one of our oldest, as he is
our best known artist, and we call attention
to the paintings now because we know there
are many who would gladly secure works
from his brush with which to delight their
friends

Christmas Candies.

Christmas would not be Christmas to the
little ones without good supply of candies,
nuts and raisins. A look into the window of
Geo. c. Shaw & Co., on Congress street, will
reveal a tempting display of almost endless
variety. The display of candies is especial
ly attractive. These goods are fresh and
toothsome, and include about all the differ
ent kinds of confectionery. They are made
of the very best materials, pure and whole
some. The prices are remarkably low, and
one can be furnished with delicious confec-
tionery for about the same amount of money
that he usually pays for half the quantity at
other stores

Stager and the Operator.

The old telegraphcr was talking as
volubly as ever, and he told this story
about the late Gen. Arson Stager, which
was new to me: away back in the
early days." he said, "when the print
ing machines were gradually going out,
as operators gradually learned to read
by sound, Gen. Stager, not then gen.
eral, was division superintendent on a
western telegraph line, with headquar-
tiers at Cleveland. At an office farther
west, say indianapolis, was an unusual
bright and expert operator, who had
Just one fault,-he would get drunk. He
was a very rapid sender for those days
and an extremely good receiver by
sound, even for these days. But, as
l say, he would get drunk, and once
drunk he was useless for days. The
chief operator at indianapolis had COM
planned of him to Stager, who had
threatened him with dismissal if he got
drunk again, and yet he was drunk
again. The chief operator telegraphed
the sad fact to Stager and Stager re-
piled: Call me up when Jones comes
in; want to talk to him. So when
Jones got sober and came into the In
dianapolis Office the chief operator told
him to call up Stagcr at Cleveland, who
wanted to speak to him. So Jones
called up the Cleveland telegraph
office and asked the operator to tell
Stager that he was awaiting what he
had to say at the indianapolis end of
the line. In few minutes Stager took
the Cleveland key and clicked over the
wire to Jones: L told you if you got
drunk again | would discharge you.
You have been drunk for three days.
What have you to say for yourself?'
Now Jones knew that he had just one
chance. Stager was learning to receive
by sound, and he wanted it thought that
he had learned. But Jones happened
to know that Stager could only read by
sound messages that were very slowly
sent. He knew that there were other
operators in the room with Stager at
Cleveland, and he calculated that Stager
would be equally unwilling either to ask
in their presence that Il message that
he could not read be repeated or to ask
them to assist him to read it. So Jones
pounded away at his key as rapidly as
he could for three minutes, sending off
of course, an absurd cock-and-bull
story, not one word of which did Stager
catch until Jones slowed down and
wound up with: and that's the way it
all happened Instantly Stager re-
sponded: Very well. You may stay,
but don't do it again. Phitadelp ltiG
