At Browns studio.

At Mr.. III. b. Browns studio, in Dow
block, Congress street, may be seen one OF
the finest pictures ever painted by that well
known artist. 1t is large marine, repre-
senting JEWELS Island. Portland harbor,
On the left of the foreground is a huge cave.
its roof overgrown with gnarled trunks of
old trees, turf and moss. From the cave
issues pale blue smoke, showing that 1t Is
inhabited. Outside is an old framework,
covered with pieces Of sail and seines. Close
by, in the immediate foreground, wrecked
upon the low rocks, is the hull Of a vessel.
Stretching out into the far distance are lofty
cliffs, the farthest plainly perceptible through
the blue haze that nearly enyelops them.
Near by, out at sea, is dismasted vessel.
and close by lies the wrecking sloop. prepar-
ing to remove articles from the unfortunate
ship to the shore.
and the atmospheric effects and rock paint
ing are admirable. A great deal of romance
also attaches TO the painting. There is an
old story to the effect that this cave on Jew
ellis Island was formerly used by smugglers
and even that bold buccaneer Captain Kyd
did not scorn to use it. 1t is easy to believe
this when it is known tina close by there is
a channel between the rocks, Of depth
enough to accommodate vessels Of heavy
draught, into which mariners acquainted
with its waters can run their craft, its en-
trance and surroundings being entirely hid
den from vessels sailing outside. Mr.Brown
is to be congratulated on his work, and Mr..
Mallett on his ownership. The picture will
be exhibited in Owen, Moore & Co.'s win
dow.
Another splendid picture, full Of the life
and turmoil of the waves, is one represent
ing the massive cliffs of White Head, against
which the surges break in foam, while the
birds scream and circle amidst the roar OF
the breakers.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
UNCLE TOMS CABIN.


This afternoon and evening Uncle Toms
Cabin will be given at Portland Theatre.
An exchange says: Zone would naturally
suppose that the drama Of Uncle Toms
Cabin, and the causes which led to its con-
struction, would ere this cease to prove in
teresting in this country at least. But not
so. The older the play the more interest
manifested Managers, too, leave nothing
undone to give the play all the intensity es-
sential for success. Manager Abbey, who
brought out the play at the Leland Opera
House last night, understands what the pub
lie wants. His double company is great
feature. Everything about the drama has
the .old time flavor aboutit. The two Top
sys are immense, while the two Marks
keep the audience in a roar of laughter. The
Jubilee singers are an excellent acquisition,
and give the plantation scene an air of reali-
ty. The blood hounds, too, are used to make
the play complete People who desire to see
Uncle Toms Cabin given in fine style want
to see this company"
