Tuckerman's painting of the escape of
the frigate Constitution from the British
squadron in 1872 has been placed on exhi-
bition in the COrcoran gallery in Wash
ington. The late Mr.. Corcoran was fond
of relating the incidents of that exciting
chase, as he had often heard them from
the lips Of his distinguished father-in-
law, Commodore Charles Morris, who was
first lieutenant Of the ship on that mem
orable occasion. In the picture the Con
sttution, under all sail. stands boldly
out in the foreground, while the British

smoke of battle in the uncertain light Of
the early dawn. As Congress has just
passed an act authorizing the restora-
tion Of the old ship, the expense to be
betrayed by the Daughters of the War
of 1872, this exhibition is particularly in
tcresting as showing how she looked in
her prime.
