BROTHER SERAPHIN. occasion of this unusual gathering of the representative and distinguished members of the Irish American and American colony in Paris was to pay tribute of respect and affec- tion to one of the members of the Order of the Passion residing in the monastery attached to the church. Brother Sera- phin has just attained his fiftieth year as a monk of this austere Order. Twenty five of these have been spent in England and twenty-five in Paris. His kindness and affability during his long stay in Paris have gained him innumerable friends, and a proof of this universal esteem Is the magnificent presents which have been offered to him on his jubilee day. These gifts consist of a superb set of richly en- broidered vestments and a chalice of solid gold and exquisite cruets in silver, gifts bound missal, the gift of the gentlemen of the English branch of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, and likewise mag nihcent altar cloth in costly lace, with handsome candelabra given by the Prin- cess Bonaparte Wyse.
 Scores of American people were present at the ceremonies, many. no doubt, au- tracted by the fact that M. Gounod was to cond0ct the musical exercises, but hundreds there were who came through desire to do honor to the venerable friar.
 The exhibits of American pictures in Paris Is as whole, l suppose, the best that has ever been made of American art-or what Is called American art. I make this qualification for reasons which will occur to every one who goes through these four rooms of which write. Much of 1t Is American only because the paint CTS of it were born in America,-by which principle J. G. Browns art would be Scotch and Thomas Hovenden's Irish. Large numbers of the young men who exhibit here have caught with great cleverness and facility the tricks of their European tutors and colleagues, and show us representative woSk of Paris, Munich, and Dusseldorf. on which nothing seems incongruous but the sig nature. It Is not possible to blame them. They are sent by exigencies and tradi- tion to study abroad, and this Is the fruit of their study. Learning to paint is like learning a language. The Ameri- can boys arc alert and receptive, and they pick it up-accent, tone, manner, modulation, and the rest, with great readiness. But, then, if 1t turns out that, having learned the language, they have l nothing to say in It.!
 What there Is distinctively American about the exhibition Is most worthy. Bolton Jone's landscape, Brandegee's DOT trait McEntee's sombre pastorals, and | Gaups battle charge Is work like this which seems to me to represent some l thing that ateliers cannot teach, some- thing beyond technical skill and the lore of schools. I mako the selections at ran- | dom, and doubt not that in the pictures not yet hung there are many others which will convey this same indetinable-but oh, so unwelcome !-sense of being really | American.

SULLIVAN WILL WIN.

But Englishmen Ready to Back Smith
 Against Him.
 LONDON, July 1b.-From inquiry 1t Is safe to say that the money for a fight between Sullivan and Jem Smith, articles for which are now in the hands of the editor of Sport tug Life, will be forthcoming whom the time comes. There Is no doubt among Ameri- cans here and Englishmen versed in flstic lore, that Sullivan would win, but there Is always feeling In favor of the contestant representing home talent and enough money has been subscribed by bookmakers to secure the stocks named iu the articles They have Q cheerful conf dence that they can recoup themselves from the pockets of the ever gullible public, and tempting inducements are now on the way to Sullivan and those of his friends who are supposed to have influence over him. If the affair can be concluded. 1t will most probably take place in Holland at the end of the racing season, when the betting gentry will have time to devote to covering the wageps of those of their fellow. countrymen, whose patriotic instinct os well managed rumors, may lead them to stake their money upon Smith.
 As these professionals do not generally bear the most savory reputations, some prominent members of the Pelican Club will be put forward as the ostensible pro. motors of the event.

England Sends Two More Regiments to
 Egypt.
 LONDON, July 16.-Two moro regiments are off for Egypt anditis certain that others will be speedily required there. English love of military glory received a mild ex- altation by the news of the victory over the Dervishes at Arquin, but 1t IS becoming evident that good doal of work, and hard work, too, remains to be done there before the fanatics from tho Soudan are definitely driven back.
 Prisoners speak of the number of mon under the successor of tho Mahdl as being ," like the sands of the sea-" and making due allowance for exaggeratiou it is safe to assume that their number Is formidable. They hold the Egyptian fella- heen in well merited contempt, arc them selves brave to rashness, and in their ignor- ance. have no dread even with disciplined troops.
 The party dispersed by General Grenfell was merely ono detached for purposes of foraging, and reconnaissance, aRd he admits tRat the main body of tho epemy was steadily pursuing the march northward, his own troops following on parallel lines with out caring to risk an attack upon 1t. So far as there being any probability of recovering Khartoum, the Khedive may consider himself fortunate If he succeeds In driving the invaders from the territory which they now hold. In the meantime this irruption from the South furnishes capital pretext for the continuance of British occupation
