graceful figures: we should still see and
adore the picture, and its title would mat
ter not whit.
1t is difficult to speak fittingly of such a
picture, so am glad that can quote bet
ter words than / could write. And they
are doubly impressive as having been
written by one who is himself painter of
landscapes. They are from the series of
articles on the Paris exposition which Mr..
Colin contributed to the Nation, and
which think make up the best account
of modern French art that has yet been
published
"Many Corots have been seen in Ameri-
ca" Mr.. Coffin said, ''but not all of them
were real ones in the sense Of being as
good as Corots can be. But here at Paris
there were ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS real
Corots. Three of them alone might
have sufticed to place Corot at the
head of landscape painters And
among these three the finest was the
'Biblis.' The effect is that of early
evening, little after sunset. Here again
as with Miliet's Cleaners description
completely fails. There are the most Won
derful atmosphere, the most beautiful
color-harmonies, the most unobtrusive
palnting-one of the most enchanting land
scapes ever seen. Indeed, it Is doubtful if
any painter ever produced one as beauti-
ful. 1t is the most beautiful Corot | have
ever seen, and l cannot think of any
other picture to equal it. Claude
seems empty and vapid, Poussin
stiff and theatrical, and Corot's
great contemporaries, Daubigny, Rous-
seau and Diaz, seem earthly and human in
comparison with this divinity in land
scape painting. l may add that to me the
most marvellous thing about the 'Biblis'
pressiveness and idyllic Charm. 1t
has all the superb dignity of the
large Corot with the little temple
in the background, which is owned by Mr..
Charles A. Dana. combined with all the
grace and loneliness of the 'Orpheus'
which hung so long in Mr.. Cottiers gall
lery. And these two had hitherto seemed
to me the very finest of Corots and as fine
as painted landscapes possibly could be. !"
In my catalogues of Corot's pictures
only one named "Bibiis" is noted; and
this dates from the very last year of his
after the terrible strain of the Franco
German war through which he
passed in Paris, dividing his time
between hours of ministrat,on to
the wounded and hours of labor at the
easel-if just before his death Corot could
paint his masterpiece, he was indeed a
giant worthy to rank with such long
and Titan. At the time of the ex-
position the "Biblis" belonged to Mr..
Otlett, well-known amateur of Brussels,
who had bought it at the Secretan sale.
Recently his whole collection was pur-
chased by the Boussod, formerly the
Goupil. firm; and upon learning this
fact Mr.. Hill. who had seen the
'Biblis" in Paris, at once secured it. This
leads one to believe that he may appre-
ciate his treasure as truly as Mr.. Dana and
Mr.. Cottier have appreciated theirs. But
if these three pictures could only some
day hang side by side in some public gal
lery, why then We might be content to let
the rest of the world keep almost all the
rest Of the Corots.

An imposing scene was the court-martiai Of
Maj. L. C. Overman of the army engineering
corps as 1t opened yesterday morning at Cleve-
land. According to long-established prece-
dent the court-martials always open at 10
o'clock and close at 3, but by the late arrival OF
two members it was II o'clock before proceedings
commenced. Maj. Oyerman, pale aud haggard.
was about the hotel during the forenoon with
a group Of Cleveland friends at his side.
The members of the court, in full dress uni
form, took their seats at II O'Clock. Col
Crofton sat at the center Of the court table,
Col Poe on his right and Col. Overshine on
his left. the ten other members scattered along
on either side. Maj. Overman came in with
his alto rney Judge ". b. Sanders Of Cleve-
land. and Capt. Savage and Maj. Gardiner of
New York. The judge advocate called the roll
of the court and then read the special order OF
the War Department for the convening OF the
court. 1t was then discovered that the stem
ographer had not arrived and q recess was
taken until / clock
In the afternoon the court began business in
earnest. After its members had been sworn
Maj. Overman was arraigned and the specifca-
tons were read to HIM. They we're very long
and charged him with appropriating to his own
80 va go ASus oSSdsloHsCcEtdlu buInb OF money.
The first charge summed up was for embezzle-
ment and violation of the articles of war. The
second charge also contained several spccifica-
tons and accused the major of making false
vouchers and certifying them to be
Just, thus defrauding the government
Oh inherent sums OF money. In effect he was
SAID to have bought all sorts Of household
goods Tor his own use and to have charged
them 70 the government as supplies Of various
sorts. the vouchers sent OH being fraudulent in
each case. Among other things he is accused
OF having placed his private coachman on the
pay roll Of the department The total sum
alleged to have been embezzled is about 500.
In small amounts, though it is claimed by those
who were active in bringing the charges that
the real deficiency 10 much greater
Maj. Overman declined to plead to the ar
raignnlent until his counsel had been heard.
Judge Sanders Introduced motion that some
OF the specifications be quashed, which will be
decided today.
Maj. Overman's counsel are making hard
night Tor him. interposing objections ON every
'echnicaiity, and the trial promises to be long
and holly contested. and then the result will
not be known until given out at Washington.
