This evening Mr.. Dickinson will lecture on
French art at City Hall, as especially illus
trated by the galleries of the Louvre and
Luxembourg. 1t is almost superhuous to
speak here of the pictures contained in these
galleries. Many of them are known, by
name at least, in this country, and not few
of our countrymen have had the happiness
of gazing upon them. From these galleries
our best artists have carried away deep and
lasting impressions, the effects of which are
apparent in their works. The illustrations,
which will be of some of the best paintings
contained in these galleries. will be very
great treat.

Mr.. McponaId's Case.

Mr.. Herbert Pierce has written Mr.. James
Carter in reference to the late arrest of Mr..
Mcdonald for alleged larceny, as follows:
He was arrested, without a warrant, on the
charge of an ex-pugilist, a man of no character
even among men of his class, who claimed to have
been robbed of $40, and who offered not to ap-
pear against him on payment Of that sum-. He
was taken to the station house, detained two
hours, and refused permission to send for his
friends. From there he was taken to Jefferson
Market prison, and kept twenty-four hours with.
out an examination, the sole and only ground Of
suspicion against him being that he was one Of
FIVE men in the gymnasium who might have com
mitted the theft, at the time of its discovery
while, as was admitted by his accusers on cross
examination, any one of hundred people might
have done it.
1t seems it was known that he had intended to
have left town on the day after that on which he
was arrested Even at jefferson Market, it was
not until the following morning that he was per
mitted to communicate with his friends, although
it was only about noon when he was arrested.
may add that he has brought suits against al
parties for false Imprisonment. Fortunately
Wood who owns the gymnasium, and Lynch are
rich, so that he is likely to get heavy damages.
