ARCHITECTURAL.
Carmel Mission gives us a splendid
view of the picturesque pile Jas it ap-
pears after an existence Of about lis
wears. 1t is the beau ideal of a ruin, on
account of the quaint character of the
architecture, and the artist has entered
into the real spirit of the surroundings.
The landscape is very beautiful, aud
has been utilized so as TO give q
glimpse OF the bay in the middle dis
lance with wonderful effect. All the
scene is interesting and delightful, but
the charm OF the work lies in the
artistic treatment of the building itself.
II is drawn and colOred with q fidelity
which is highly 70 be commended, and
the gentleman may safely congratulate
himself upon his success.
Interior Of Carmel recalls COM
pletely the Ieverential awe with
which one treads the crumbling
payements of this historic ruin.
There is poetry and sadness in the gray
old walls and decaying arches; in the
rank grasses that overspread the altar
steps and the graves of priests who first
wondering race; and in the dim and
broken choir, whence issued the strains
OF 7e Deum Lduidmus centuries ago.
Aside from the sentiment Of this work,
II is above Mr.. Lambourne's average.

out in powerful manner and give the

The massive pile of architecture
forms the background, near which q

gracefully upwards and this latter Is
the only indication OF life IN the

with a. dark brown mass Of rushes,
through which occasional glimpses OF
sluggish waters give forth a weird effect.

LANDSCAPES.
Out Of the great number OF landscapes
produced by Mr.. Lambourne during
the past ten years, we select the follow
ing ones as representative of the various
class: Sunset on the Platte River,

the memories OF the old DAYS, when
