To the immediate right of the man and woman already named, a naval officer. accompanied by lady of hikh degree, as her costume and bearing would seem to indicate, is gazing through a telescope, at some distant object and immediately in front of them, woman, standing at the waters edge, points with outstretched arm the fingers of her left hand at a sailor lad and a woman servant apparently who are propelling a boat with their oars, the center of the boat containing heavily corded and bound package
 small picnic party, to all appear ance, are enjoying themselves on the quay beyond. This party is composed Of man and two women, 8 remark ably generous fagon of wine, being in evidence as well as an ample basket of fruit and other edfbles. A joyous party, to all appearance.
 Across the narrow canal is shown a small, narrow, odd looking three-story building, used apparently as living place.. and in the background more large trees and series of monde script buildings, rising tier above tier with the solitary figure of a man ascending a very narrow stairway. Again, in the. foreground are many fragments of broken columns and shattered figures, followed at the right by a lofty arch, of two slender col umns. at the base of it, and still on the right, the one seated, the other standing, the figures of two lovers may be seen, both evidently of the lower class, the man seeming to be in an appealing mood, as indicated by his pose.
 A figure in a boat. of the gondola- | type follows: In the middle back ground is a large pergola, and back of and above the pergefa, embowered | in foliage, rises a palace crowned with a dome like structure of great beauty and elegance.
 l Again in the foreground. are two 1 more fishers, man and woman, the man turning to speak to the woman l his companion, and above them is g stately and ornate structure with the i ever present balcony and a belfry like tower; two female figures beins on the balcony, while immediately be.

maiden who salutes cavalier, he be- ing engaged in watering his horse at the fountain while holding another steed by a leading-rein. In the back ground of this corner of the panel which we are attempting to portray to the reader, is what would seem to be a temple with a flight of marble steps of great width and of rare beauty, and several figures may be seen moving in the foreground. This is an especially beautiful panel, and the views tt14rs~s on depicted are characterized by great clarity, and show care and skill in their execution
 Fourth Panei
 On the fourth panel are shown a nloated castle, with row of rambling stone towers and a great circular structure with five columns in it's front, and a high turreted building having its postern-door on the ex- trene right, fronted by a large tree.
 The figures in the lower foreground are cloaked lady, carrying under her arm a dog, with the face of a man, her free hand batting the dogs head, while troubadour seated, ''twangs' to all appearance, the gay guitar. The ever present broken col umns, the latter pointing to two male ASuEeS near ny ,One or them rcarrylnpi a lance or gun, the other a chapeauod gentleman, cloak, feathers and all whose heavy moustache and ''Galwaya" give him rather a sinister appearance
 Pointing seems the proper thing among the figures in these pictures It should be mentioned that from the mar row window of the circular structure described, project two sticks or poles from which project what might be, a pair of overalls, possibly a portion of the family wash. ..
 Fifth Panel
 This panel is one of the most ornate of them all. On the left, portion of | the entrance porch to a temple or a l dwelling; at the base of a column, two | boyish figures, one reclining, the other pointing with the right hand, the us- ual accompaniment of broken columns and at the right some sort of temple. l with it's rounded belfry, that might serve as a model for New England village church with it's broad flight of l steps and it's two main entrances in the front of the edifice.
 At the right of the temple, the

7 Altogether this panel is beautiful both in subject and manner of DOT trayal, and the excellence of manner and it's execution is equal to that of any others in this magic room.
 Third Panel. es
 At the right of the scene justpde- scribed, at the beginning of the third of this series of panels, huge trees are seen, the reclining figure of a man engaged in betting his dog is near by; still beyond there is a shepherdess in conventional costume, with ribbon bedecked staff or crook, is addressed by huge figure of man with sash bound waist; still neyond them is a goat with an almost human face gazed at by some COWS, who are idling near by; the background above being occupied by beautiful walled temples among them small one of conven- tional Greek type, and several low ly- ing structures shaded by huge trees which seem so common in this series of decorative pictures. ,s
 Again, ruin of a large temple, the remains still showing the beauty and symmetry Of the original structure; beyond structure with an iron-rail- ed balcony, a companile of some five stories and with what would be ir common parlance, an ell attached tc the side of the main building; stil beyond these, numerous ornate Struc- lures of conventional outline, in from of them being the figure of a boy 1T sailor costume, driving a tandem team of ponies with upraised whip, sitting in a two- wheeled cart.

They are in seven panels of varying dimensions adopted to the formation of the room. Beginning at the left of the rooms entrance, their dimensions are as fol- lows:
 The first, eleven feet, six inches in length; the second, nearly fifteen feet; the third, sixty-eight inches; the fourth, of the same dimensions as the third; the fifth thirty inches; the sixth nineteen inches; the seventh, thirty two inches; and all of a uniform height of five feet, three inches.
 The material upon which the views are imprinted is, to all appear tance & verys heavy paper, and the background is of a neutral tone of rather light brown, the figures, of which there are many, Dortraying both man and beast; the temples and other

 Sixth Panel.
 This sixth panel dfscloses a vine- clad arch of graceful proportions, fronted by a. tree with. 8 double, flow ing fountain ina the rear, near which are two. figures, male and female, bearing water jars, apparently just filled from the fountain; the man drinking from his jar,, the woman, with upraised arm bearing hers upon her head and, waiting for her companion to l finish his draught. The. Grecian cos tune of the woman and the nonde- script apparel of her escort are work ed out with con siderable. detail. There is an apparent flight of three
 steps and a small table platform in the 1 foreground and as tie trunk of the l tree, foliage and gTaeensward- Beyond 1 in the rear of the arch and fountain are the walls Of some unknown struc- l ture displaying the capital of a col

 An Enigma in Wall Decoration.
 Whatever the old captains object in bringing these views from abroad, a considerable undertaking in the days when he was voyaging, whether mere ly to paper his best room, or to hand down to the succeeding generations an enigma in the way of wall decoration he has without doubt, succeeded in the latter purpose, whether or not it might have been his original aim; and he is to be credited with a sense of the beautiful and artistic, rare at that time, and possibly in our own, in gen. tlemen of his profession, whose tastes

 It is true that the costumes of the women might have answered for the dress Of the RotnsH danes of the; day. but they would serve equally well for the Directoire period. and it is certain that the naval efficef, which has all ready been portrayed, was never of Roman origin. and his figure migh well be used as a model for the dress uni form of a naval officer of the present day.
 Again, the stream depicted in certain panels cain hardly have been intended to represent Father Fiber; it seems too insignificant in size and appearance and in another of the views, displaying
