IN THE LOUVRE.
NEW ASPECTS.

NEW ASPECTS.
For the art student at the Paris Exposition
who, after long hours with the modern pictures
there wished to refresh himself with a few
hours, all too short, in the company of the Old
Masters, the administrators Of the Louvre had
prepared more than surprise. Certain i'm
portant changes in the arrangement of the
pictures had previously been reported, but it
necessary to see the galleries ones self in
order fully to realize the momentous character
OF the innovations All of them judicious,
but some are less agreeable than others. The
Salon Carrie, for example, has suffered a sort
of metamOrphOsis. Masterpieces to which the
devotee might have found his way with eyes
blindfolded have been removed to hang among
other works of the schools Now it is
individually instructive and even pleasant to see
Van Eyck's Chancellor Rollin," the 'Condot-
there of Antonello da Messina and the 'IGras-
mus" of Holbein where they belong in a strict
system Of classification; but for so many years
they went to make the Salon Carrie place of
pilgrimage, they seemed so permanently part
and parcel of the room, they so endeared
to the traveller in just the positions they held
that not all the sound doctrine in the world can
quite do away with feeling of regret that they
have been torn from their old mornings though
for a laudabe purpose.
The Encouragement of all the paintings by
Rubens, on the other hand, in a stately cham
Der by themselves, can only be approved. The
heavily gilded frames incosing them them
selves set solid in the wall. are now too brilliant
but they Will soon taTnish and then the coIlec-
ton viii yield a fawless effect, almost if not
quite what Rubens had in mind when he painted
the great series of canVases for Marie de
Medics. Van Dyck also has been given room
more or less to himself. just off the Rubens
salon and he, too appears to better advan-
tage than ever before in the Louvre In fact,
while the works of both these painters in the
great French gallery have always been familiar
TO students it has never before been possible 10
grasp their significance completely as under
the present Encouragement.
We reproduce one of the recent additions to
the Louvre, the ''Laiti2Te' of Cireuze bequeathed
to the nation by the late BarOnne Nathaniel de
Rothschild. 1t hangs in The eighteenth century
French room. not far from the we'll known
"Cruche CaSsee," bolder and more imposing in
its clear whites. reds and yeows than that
delicate work, but marked equally by that re-
fnement and grace which rendered the master
famous. 1t is very artificial, of course The
pastoral mood Of GreuZe was never free from a
Nlsuhctly urban tinge. But in design and in
workmanship it is one of his finest things.

THE SONG OF THE IRON BRIGADE.

Air, Baby Mime
From the western slopes and valleys
Came the Iron Brigade;
In a dark, resistless torrent
Swept the Iron Brigade;
Morrow, Cutler. Bragg and King.
What a thrill their names will bring
And the flag above their columns
waving like an angels wing,
While the men who never faltered marched
before.
BY South Mountain 1t was christened
As the Iron Brigade;
Where the sword of Gibbon glistened
With the Iron Brigade;
And in many bloody fray
Their battalions saved the day,
where the shattered forces listened
For the bugles reyeille,
Mid the thunder of the lannon's rumblng
roar.
at Antietam and at Gainesville
Fought the Iron Brigade
In Cold Harbor's storm of bullets
Was the Iron Brigade:
And one Gettys0urg's red field
10 the shock of battle steeled,
Was the signel Of their valor
In the blood Of hundreds sealed,
Dying steadfast by the banner which they
bore.
We have met to tell the story
OF the Iron Brigade;
OF the never fading glory
OF the Iron Brigade:
Though the years are flying fast,
And the clouds Of war have passed,
TIL the locks Of Time are hOary
VIII its peerless record last,
In the annals of it's country, eVermore.

Twain's Only Political Speech.

Only once did Mark Twain appear in
public as a political speaker. AS a con
scientious Republican in his political
preferences, Mr.. Clemens took an active
interest in the presidential campaign of
1880. While visiting in Elmira, n. Y,
in the fall of that year, he made a short
speech one Saturday night, introducing
to Republican meeting Gen. Hawley of
Connecticut In the course OF his re-
marks Mr.. Clemens said:
Gen. uawley is a member of my
church at Hartford, and the author of
Beautiful Snow Maybe he will deny
that. But / am only here to give him a
character from his last place. AS pure
citizen, | respect him; as a personal
friend of years, | have the warmest re-
gard for him; as neighbor, whose vege-
table garden adjoins mine, why-why,
watch him. As the author of Beautiful
Snow he has added a new pang TO win
ter. He is a square, true man in honest
politics, and l must say he occupies a
mighty lonesome position. So broad. so
hountiful in his character that he never
turned a tramp empty-handed from his
door, but always gave him a letter of
introduction to me. Pure, honest, incor-
ruptible, that is Joe Hawley. Such a
man in politics is like bottle of per-
fumery in a glue factory-it may moder-
ate the stencil, but it doesn't destroy it.
| haven't said any more of him than |
would say of myself. Ladies and gen
tlCmen, this is Gen. Hawley."

The march Of improvement at New Ro-
chelle is about to sweep the monument
to Thomas Paine before it, and his ad-
mirers are deeply troubled. The mOnu-
ment in question, which stands upon
ground that must give way to street wild
ening, does not really cover Paine's
bones, as they are lost somewhere in
England. The remains were originally
buried at New Rochelle on Paine's old
farm, and. when this was sold some
years later, they were transferred to a
churchyard in New York and inferred in
a spot given over to the burial of strang-
ers and the friendless. At this time Will
liam Corbett, who had been one of
Paine's neighbors, had the bones dug up
and took them to England, where he ex-
pected to give them n fitting burial and
have suitable monument erected over
them. Corbett's project was not favora-
bly, received and Paine's bones were
eventually lost
