Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, Of Washington,
New Jersey, the great Organ and
Piano manufacturer, is building and
shipping more Organs aud Pianos than
ever. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home ,
penniless plow boy, and by his indomit-
able will he has worked his way up 80 as
to sell so far, nearly 100000 Of Beatty's
Organs and Pianos since 1870. Nothing
seems to dishearten him; obstacles laid
in his way, that would have wrecked an
ordinary man forever, he turns to an
advertisement and comes out of it bright
er than ever. His instruments, as is
we'll known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts ofthe world. We are
informed that during the next ten years
he intends to sell 10000 more of bis
make; thatmeans business Of $0, ,000,-
600, if we average them at $4,000 each
It is already the largest business Of the
kind in existence. Write or call upon

Jersey. for catalogue. ...

Drawback in Gunboat Life.

The attention of the British admiral
ty has been called to the one serious
drawback the modern steel ship pos
sesses, namely, the death-like coldness
Of the interior walls. It is possible, in
deed, to warm the ship with steam, but
nothing can warm the sides in cold
weather, and the man that
sleeps near the unsympathetic steel
is liable to contract rheumatism
in the unconscious effort to warm
it by the sacrifice of his own
vital heat. On very cold days the
closed air ports will drop icicles, and
the seaward wall of stateroom will be

which was of moment enough to have
given rise to a greater extravaganza of ex-
preston.
The Eschylus and the Oceanides is the
most successful of all, not only from the
popular standpoint of being more easily
understood, but for the singular beauty of
color and line. How magniicently this
great sky, SO bright and so soft, will fill
the panel to which it is destined, and the
figure of Eschylus, that suggests passion
ate face sternly subdued, has an almost
monumental grandeur. And around the
sublime sufferer the peace of this trans
figured landscape 1t may not be true to
an actual comparison of Greek country,
but it is the landscape OF a student of
mythology. large and serene, where the
gods may descend and walk.
A picture that has been the subject of
more discussion, is Dagnau Bouveret's
''Last Supper" Critics cannot agree; ac-
cording to some, it is a marvel-according
to others, it is a pity that NJ. Dagnau
Bouveret should depart from his old ira
ditions. The picture is very large, the
figures are placed with that regard to the
conventions that Leonardo and Raphael
have made simply question of respectful
Difference. The light streams through
something that has turned it golden, it is
not a radiance from within.

The portrait of "Slmone," the little
granddaughter of Nine. Sara Bernhardt,
is distinguished enough to give decided
pleasure. The child has little dark face,
around which the hair, that is so black
and lustrous, hangs closely. She sways
forward in her gold -brocaded, unchildish
gown with most childlike air OF solem-
nifty and Importance.
And yet, the background Is no back
ground at all, only grayish, brown paint.
The shadows are brown spots and the head
is slightly out of drawing and only re-
deemed by tie richness of the color and
the quaint beauty of the subject. In spite
of all this the portrait is a fine picturesque
rendition of charming child.
The little Helene is even more delicate
and more carefully observed. She has
big, clear eyes and little scarlet mouth
and an almost Venetian color in this small
three-year-old baby.
The portrait of NJ. Leygues, ex- Minister,
is broadly managed and painted with so
much spirit that it makes the full length
convention of the woman in white satin as
lifeless as doll.
NJ. Roll has an unfinished portrait of
Dumas. The portrait was not interrupted
by the death of the author of so many
plays, but is a living monument of the
vanity of greatness. 1t is painted as NJ.

notony in the long rows of square or OBJ
long canvases. The thrill of delight with
which we come suddenly upon a work of
master, or catch glimpse, at some dis
tance, of two or three remarkable portraits
these pleasant experiences are rare.
The work that will excite the most in
terest is undoubtedly that of the president
of the National Society of the Beaux Arts,
Puvis de Chavannes-iye panels for the
decoration of the public library at Boston.
Puvis de Chavannes has metamorphosed
the decorative art of the century and his
late Iabors only add to and complete all
that he has hitherto accomplished. The
simple and candid methods employed by
Puvis de Chavannes make the decorations

OF the French painters M. Vidal has a
most charming study-a woman with
beautiful eyes, in a simple attitude, her
remarkably we'll drawn hands crossed in
her lap. Everything NJ. Vidal exhibits is
distinguished by the same almost caress-
ing use of the brush, the profile in clear,
light shadow, the figure of the woman
stretching her blowing linen on the line,
how careful and yet how free, how the air
blows about the figure of the woman, who
has look of impatience, as though, when
her work is ended, she will leave the can
vas at once.
Carolus Duran has number of por-
traits. 1t has become almost duty for
young painters to shake their heads and
look melancholy when speaking of Carolus
Duran. "How have the mighty fallen I"
they seem to say.
However much he may have fallen, he
is still at en- elevation to which few of his
critics will be able to climb.
