Art Lotteries,

In 1745 Hogarth instituted a novel
scheme for disposing Of several series of
his pictures, when the right Of bidding
itself was determined by kind of lottery.
The ticket Of admission was characteristic
Of the hummelshine, subject being "The
Battle of the Pictures" in which is repre-
sented conflict between the works of the
old masters and the paintings Hogarth
desired to sell. The second picture of the
" Marriage la Mode" series is suffering
from contact with the Aldabrandini
Marriage" A Magdalene " is breaking
through the canvas of "The Harlot's Pro-
gress." In the upper stage of the combat
the ancients are the sufferers. The drink
ing orgie in The Rake's Progress" has
made hole through Titians Feast of
Olympus and Bacchanalian Feast" by
Rubens, is damaged by "The Modern
Midnight Conversation"
The first important lottery of pictures in
this country was that sanctioned by Act
of Parliament to enable John Boydell to
realize "The Shakespeare Gallery" pro-
ject in which the enterprise had sunk
f350,000. The depression of both home
and foreign trade, consequent upon
the protracted war with France,
was such that at the age of So
the Alderman found himself under
the necessity Of applying for permission to
hold a lottery for the disposal of the 10
original painting constituting the Shake
speare Gallery, the premises in Pail Mall,
together with his other collections of pic
lures, drawings and prints. The Act was
obtained, the lottery sanctioned, and Boy
dell lived to see every ticket sold. 1t was
drawn January IS, 1905; the winning
number, S,004 emitting the holder to the
great prize, the freehold of the Shake
speare Gallery and the pictures, happened
to belong to Tassie of Leicester square,
nephew of the famous imi.ator of antique
canoes. In May, the same year, the pict-
ures were sold by Mr.. Christie in separate
lots, and thus this ambitious undertaking,
which was at one time regarded as ma
tional monument, disappeared completely.
The stirring times of Napoleon, which
were apparently fatal to the welfare of art
in this country, it is said, are to be credited
With the introduction of art unions into
France. Thence they passed, with other
French novelties, across the Belgian
frontier, and found a congenial soil-even
the small towns taking them up; and
thus, in 1912, was established the Art
Union of Malines-Magazine Qf ART for

Success of the Oregon Hatchery.

Fish Commissioner Reed, of Oregon.
who is in charge of the hatchery on the
Clackamas, reports that the pool there Is
literally swarming with salmon. In the
night time they swarm up against She rack
placed there to prevent them from ascend
ing the river il such numbers that, as Mr..
Reed says, a man could wall, across the
river on their backs. Watchmen guard
the pool during TIE night at each end to
prevent fishermen from getting net into
it. The hatchery is seven miles above the
junction of the Clackamas with the Villa
mette, and several parties are engaged in
fishing along this portion of the stream.
When they see the number of fish which
have escaped their nets lying in the pool,
they are wild to get at them, and claim
that the Fish Commission has no right to
prevent them. The Commission is, how
ever, determined TO protect the salmon,
right or wrong,-Couatry Grocer and her

$40. 600 SPENT IN CULTIVATION.

During the season just passed, within which
trees could be planted-siuce the formation Of
the Palermo COlOny-nearly - coo trees mostly
orange trees three or four years old of the finest
yarietles) have been set out, in addition to
which the Palermo Nursery and Citrus AssOcia-
ton has $4,000 more in its nursery to meet the
demand for next season. Orders were given for
double this amount of work, but owing to the
lateness of the season it was deemed inadvis-
able to attempt to do any more planting. Seven
and one-tifth miles of picket fences were built
twenty-tOur miles of main and distributing
ditch were dug, enlarged and cleaned. The
system of irrigating through bitches is how
the present demands. By next season the Com
pany contemplates having pipe lines laid
throughout the colony and TOWNSHIP, and great
reservoirs will furnish abundant water for every
purpose. Eight and one-half mics of street
grading has been done, and alter the winter
rains this work will be resumed until through
out the colony the avenues and roadways will
surpass those of Golden Gate Park. This work

The duty of being cheerful is one which
is at all times binding upon us. We have
no right to be morose or sullen, or accus-
tom ourselves to look on the dark side of

Importance Of life can excuse us for giving
way to sour and unhappy temper
Though sadness must at times fall across
our path and our hearts and souls be often
impressed with the weight and serious
ness of imposed duty or of surrounding
circumstances, yet sadness and seriousness
ought by no means be considered synony-

the exercise of trustfulness and cheerful

THE trial of Mr.. G. G. Getzendan-
er, son of Mr.. Dan1 Getzendaner, q
wealthy and respected citizen OF this
county, was concluded last Friday
evening, after being in progress four
days, with the verdict of acquittal.
There were two indictments original
ly against Mr.. Getzendaner, both
presented in February, 1886-ono
for hiring, procuring, aiding and
abetting the burning of a lot of hay
stored in a barn, with intent to iniure
the Phoenix Insurance Co., of Hart
ford Conn; the other with the same
charge and same intent, but property
destroyed was farming implements
stored in the same barn, and the in
surer was the Aetna Co. On the
former indictment he was tried and
acquitted in May, 1886. On the lat
ter he was first tried in November,
1886, the result being disagreement
of the jury. Since then the case has
been continued from term to term
until the present, which resulted in
an acquittal. The popularity of this
case is that, although there was but
one fire, which destroyed the barn,
hay and farming implements stored
in it, yet as the property was insured
in two different companies the Court
held one indictment would lie, under
the statute law of this State, for each
company. The present Judge, how
ever, did not have the occasion to
pass upon the question as to whether
two indictments would lie. This
point was deliberately discussed and
set out in the pleas filed by the de-
Tense.
Eminent counsel were employed
on both sides; the State being rep
resented by F. w. Brown, Esq,
