JOHN SHELLEY.

The funeral of the late John Shelley
took place yesterday afternoon from
the residence of Capt. Shelley, brother
of the deceased, at No. 600 Mason
street, Rev. New Harris officiating.
The funeral was very largely attend
ed by friends of deceased and of the
family. The services were very i'm
pressive, the devout minister in his
capacity as comforter invoking sub
mission to the Divine Will in thus be-
reaving them, but temporarily, of one
they loved so well. His words and
precept gave hope to the heartbroken
and comfort to the afflicted and sank
deep into the minds of all present.
The cortege to the Arkansas Pass de-
pot was a very sorrowful, sad one,
the remains being escorted by twelve
young people six young ladies and six
gentlemen, friends and companions of
the lamented dead. At the depot
the afternoon train was taken by
the funeral party to Elmendorf where
the remains were inferred in the fam
lily cemetery. Rest to his soul!

THE HOFFMAN HOUSE PICTURE

Messrs. Kennedy Il DOugherty, pro-
prietors of the Hoffman House bar,
Houston street, have reproduced >.
Houston stree, have decorated their
saloon with a reproduction of the eel
ebrated Hoffman House painting. The
picture fills the wall space in this lit
tie saloon of s by II feet and is a
work of art worthy of inspection. The
artist has added to the original pic
ture some features that make it far
more attractive than the original. The
perspective in fine, the figures are al
most faultleSS, the conception is pure.
This picture is only displayed as a sa-
loon decOra ton, so was the Hoffman
House picture that cost $4,000 and
has been viewed and criticised by
thousands of people. There is nothing
vulgar or suggestive of vulgarity in
the picture; the gentleman who re-
produced this famous painting is. an
artist from the Paris school. Messrs.
Kennedy and Dougherty have shown
good taste in decorating their saloon.
We doubt II any other saloon can boast
Of so pure n work Of art as that dis
played in their place. Other pieces,
from the same artist decorate their
walls. Any lover of pure art can be
gratified by visit to the HOFFMAN
House. II
