Ferns 18 about as much as some others, but it is nevertheless one of the best to bo Been in Brooklyn, as it includes not only Bpocimens of the work of Bous Beau, Daubigny, Diaz, Morle, Bouguereau and other famous men, but famoiiB piotureB, too, aud opportunities for seoing our local galleries are so infrequent that many will doubtless avail themselves of this chance. It need hardly bo added that tho purposo for which thoso pictures will bo shown is an entirely worthy one. Warren Sheppard is painting a picturo that represents the Venetian ceremony of "The Marriage of the Adriatic," and lie will send it to tho Amorican Art Galleries. Tho Graver and Palette is a new eight page quarterly that iB devoted to engravings and the industrial arts and ia published in New York. Its woodcuts vary from good to queer.

Tho books, prints, porcelains, paintings and miniatures of the lato Bobert Lenox Kennedy will be sold on Tuesday next and the three following days at the Fifth avenuo Art Galleries. There aro some splendid things in the sale. An exhibition of eighty seven foreign water colors will bo made at the Keppel gallery this week. No news haB been received in confutation of tho roport that Georgo Allen Budd, tho Brooklyn artist, was robbed and killed by brigands in the Apenninos. George II.

Bogei't has loft Brooklyn and taken np his residence in New York. Tho daily Journey to and from his studio, near Central Park, involved about fourteen miles of travel and took too much time. Charles M. Kurtz's "Academy Notes" aro out for the ninth year of their publication, and contain nearly eighty pictures in phototype and photogravure from the paintaings now on exhibition at tho Academy. The tour of tho galleries is concise and easy to follow, and the little book forma an attractive souvenir of the show.

Profesaor Whittaker has just finished a successful portrait of William II. Sutton, a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity. The flesh tints aro especially good. Tho professor also has a study of a dashing demoisello with black curls and a big hat, and a picture of a grocer's lad chafforing with a girl over a cabbage that has rich though quiot color and an effect of diffused light. Thomas Hovondon aaya that ho did not take tho idea for his picture, "In the Hands of the Enemy," that creates such a stir at the Academy exhibition, from the play, Held by the Enemy," for the best of reasons: that he uevor saw or heard of it until the ii turc was finished.

Tho idea that had rankled ii hia imagination for years was too good to throw away on a small canvas, yet he feared that if painted on 1. big scale ho would have an clf.phant on his hands." This year, however, ho took courage and finished it, with tho best results. Klacliner ia about to p'iblisli an etching by W. C. Cars, known of yore as a painter of Western landscape and hunting scenes.

It represents the inauguration of General Washington as President, and therefore has a considerable interest at the moment. The plate is large and represents the President taking the oath on the balcony of the old City Hall, overlooking a crowd of peoplo in the streets below and bringing into view tho quaint buildings and churches of the neighborhood. Tho portraits of houses and people arc as correct as study from old prints iu the As tor Library can make them. William M. Chaso has sont to tho Paris exhibition Ii is full length portrait of Bosalie Gill, and Miss Gill herself will be represented iu the American department of the world's fair by a largo canvas called "L'Orchydeo" a mother with a bouquet of orchids in hor bosom holding a baby in hor anna, tho idea, doubtless, being to hint at something of the delicacy and beauty of tho blossoms in the person of the child.

Miss Gi.l is also one of tho luoky 2,500 whose pictures havo been accepted for exhibition in the Salon, lucky because nearly ten thousand pictures wore re The Centennial Exhibition of Portraits and Relics in New York. Pictures and Mementoes of Washington The Healy Collection to be Shown for Charity A New Etching Notes About the Paluters. Centennial rejoicing haa begun if rejoicing is the right word for an affair that has involved so much gabble, Jealousy and recrimination, and that is going to make so much work and warmth before it is over. It begins rather gravely with a diacloaure of portrait8 and relics appropriate to tho occasion. This exhibition is mado at the Metropolitan Opera Houso under direction of artists and literary men, and is as good a show as could bo expected when it is considered that old clothes aro a necesaary part of it and that tho lack of continuity in the halls set apart for tho exhibition rathor belittles tho effect, as ii must bo seen in bits.

Tho portraita are numerous and rather monotonous, the silverware and furnituro besneak an elegance that few can pretend to even nowadays, and the clothing is rich in material but auiet in color, Martha Washington's gown showing that dull, sage green, that was recently fashionable, was esteemed a century ago. Brooklyn has a share in this musoum, for Gordon L. Ford is ono of tho committeo and a contributor of portraits and old nowspapors; Bev. MaBon Gallagher lends his Washington portrait by Peale, paintod in 1787; II. E.

Piorropont sends his Washington by Gilbert Stuart, Clarenco Wmthrop Bowen his General and Martha Washington by Wright, Honrv M. Levcrich a Washington by an unknown painter: Alexander M. White, his portrait by Morso of John Adams, and of Georgo Clinton, by Otis: Mrs. McNeil Potter, a letter 01 Washington, Paul Bovere's buckles, the portrait and sword of her grandfather, Governor Pierce, and hair of Washington and Piorco, her ring containing looks from tho heads of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Pierce. A fine cabinot of coina and medals shows that ovon in tho early days of tho republic tho arts of.

minting and design had been brought to a high degreo of excellence: indeed, somo of the coina are as good as thoae of to day, for it would be hard to mako a much worso device than that of our silver goddess of liberty, whose long legs grow out 'of her waist, and whoso head has for fifty yeai'B been twisted over her back. Isn't there a man at the mint who can straighten out this pained and painful person? The auto graphs, old books, old papers, trunks and other belongings deserve notice, and General Washington's spacious, Hat topped writing doak, polished like glass, is much admired. Among othor matters aro a French cannon, the brown suit and sword worn by Washington at his inaugural, tho chair he sat in on that day, a copy of tho sonnet sung to him by the girlB of Trenton when they etrewed flowers along his path, of his triumphal progress in Trenton, his camp chest and his silver coasters, in which decanters were skated over his dinner tablo front ono guest to another after tho ladies had left tho gentlemen to wine walnuts and stories. The newspaper, over one hundred and fifty in number, are contributed by the Fellowcraft Club. Of course, the interest of a ahow like this is historic and personal, rather than artistic, but the art of to day ia hinted at in the original drawings, in black and white, for sundry illustrations that havo appoared in tho magazines, there are several old cuts and engravings, and many of the portraits havo undoubted mnrit.

It was at first proposed to have orignal portraits only, but so many offers of good material were made that it became almost necessary to ad mit replicas. There is a perfect shoal of Washing ton pictures of all degrees ot likeness and unnice ness, and if wo could have a composite photograph of them wo should perhaps see tho real Washing ton, though the Stuart portrait is good enough to swear by. Stuart was an artist, and all the important modern pictures of the Father of His Country are based on his presentment. There are pictures also by Sully, C. W.

l'eale, Bem brandt Peale, James Peale, Bobert Fulton, John Trumbull, Godfrey Knoller, John Singleton Cop ley, Duplessis, Desnoyers, James Sharpless and others, ownod, no doubt, by descendants of the ladies and gentlemen represented, who have rea son to be croud of their ancestry, for these Americans aro a noble looking people strengthened by the war and refined by patriotism and lofty purpose. Among them all tho face of Washington quietly declares itself by its force and dignity; somewhat austere, perhaps, but nothing cold or hard; heroic, large and admirable. Tho affectation of disregard for the man, who. by the blow ho dealt to tho monarchical in Htntion. becran to reform tho governments ot the whole world nowhere seems priggish and silly as in the presence of tho picture of this greatest of Americans.

Ono of tho handsomest publications of tho year perhaps the handsomest haa just been put forth by George Forbes Kelly, of HI Union Square, editor of the An Jieoieio. It is a folio containing papers by well known writers and pictures that represent tho painting and statuary of thirty leading American artists. Those pictures are in photogravure, that is, they aro struck by hand from steel faced copper plates, not irom gelatine and are printed on the finest plate paper of extra weight and with ample margins, so that any who aro so disposed may separate them from the book and framo thorn. "The American Art Portfolio," aa it is called, forms not an epitome but a worthy representative and pleader for tho art of the nation, while it is so e.uietly luxurious in typography and make up that it appeals to tho bibliophile. A pleaBing variety of color as well as of subjects ia used in tho' pictures, and the cover of robin's egg blue, th lining of dull gold, tho title page in red, black and gold, the initials and head pieces and the firm, unglossed paper stamp it as a work of excellent taste.

Mr. Kelly intends that a few more than Mr. McAllister's 400 shall possess themselves of the book, if they be so moved, as ho has put it out at a moderate price and made tho edition to number 425 copios. The illustration's include Wyatt Eaton's portrait of a lady; Alexander Harrison's "Evening," the Bea glittering in tho. light of a rifling moon and the breakers full of life; Herbert Denman's "Mandolinata," a girl in white, singing to her own accompaniment on a mandolin; Warner's statue of the seated Diana, Harry Eaton's rich and delightful landscape, "Along the Pond;" J.

'Those ladies who waited before ordering their Easter bonnets and gowns until last week will, many of them, be disappointed, for the number of orders received at large houses during the past three weeks have been so great as to compel the closing of order books some days ago.

If tho day bo fine rich and beautiful costumes will appear at church. A large number of imported gowns have been sold and artistic workers kept buBy making superb dreBses after new models for this special season. They are in varied designs and in unusual combinations of materials. Tho round Empire waist, with full sleeves and slightly draped skirt, rivals tho long princess gowns, with or without re vers, and many now changes are rung on both styles. Wool costumes of light texture for church on Easter Sunday and general wear afterward havo the round waists, with full skirts made nearly straight, mounted on silk foundation skirts, without any bustle, but slightly shaped by one or two short steelB across tho back.

Brilliantino is a favorite material for young ladies especially, and a number of charming costumes have been made of this. A very stylish dress just finished waB in sage green brilliantine, the skirt in long, straight drapery commencing at the right back, rounding tho front, and reaching the back is finished in jabot effect to the waiBt line. This drapery is bordered at the foot and on tho Jabot with Bash ribbon eight niches wide, in two tones of green, the darker one in satin, with brocaded vine of leaves in the lighter tint, tho other half of the ribbon in the Bhade matching the dress, strewn with brocaded leaves of the rose tree. The waist has a few plaits.in the back, one side of the front in tho brilliantine, the other side of the sash ribbon in plaits running across the front Tho upper part takes tho neck across the front to the alcove, tho iower part crossing the bust iB secured to the right shoulder coming down to tho waist line, forming loops and ends draping tho left sido of tho skirt. The Bleeves aro full at the top, with plaited cuff of the bbon.

The stylo iB simple, but novel and ef fective. Those who can afford it have tho foundations of all dresses made of Bilk. It is not as heavy, and is in every way more desirable. Another charming dress is in brown Bilk, with coarse brown silk fish net drapery, tho center, front and sideR of the skirt run with narrow ribbonB in fan effect, the finiah at tho foot of the skirt being rosettes of tho The waist is covered with tho net, fulled back and front, with brown, gold and garnet tinseled gimp on tho waiBt at the armholo, down each side of the front, around tho neck and lower part of the waiBt. Tho silk sleeves aro close fitting, with a full ness of tho net over, the plain deep cuff trimmed with the gimp.

The style of the drapery and the unique waist garniture stamp the gown at once as the work of an artist. An odd combination of fabrics is that of smooth faced cloth with India silk, tho cloth forming a little squaro cornered z6uave jacket, with rovers opening over a shirt front of India silk, with a slightly draped skirt, also of the silk. This is stylishly illustrated in dark bluo India silk with large, spreading vines of yellow for the skirt and the shirt front, while the jacket is ot blue laceci cloth, with black moire binding on its rovers and wide black moire sash crossing ita front. In this dress tho turned over shirt collar is ot white ermed silk inside of the figured India silk. Burah silk and the pretty cottons are again combined, the vest, front and Bido of the skirt Being 91 Burah, the drapery of the cotton goods.

Another nretfcv fancy is to mako a full vest of figured India silk for plain silks, green, red or turquoise India silk vests for black silks, with armure or moiro stripcB made in tho Directoire princess fashion with the revers bound with green moire ribbon, a front ash of wide moire, also a bracelet and col lar of tho green, finished with a Bmall bow. A charming dress seen at ono placo was in light slate colored silk, the skirt and waist draped witn white India silk, Btrewn with designs in Blato color. The waist was very picturosquo and trimmed wtth point do gene. Point de gone laces trim India or China silks and the soft sateens in the most charming manner. It is imported in new and oxquisito patterns and comoB in various widths and qualities.

Bib bons are used in the greatest profusion and in all widths for garniture on all kinds of drosses. The narrow baby ribbons aro ofton run through the openings in honoycomb and other coarse meshed nets, one or sevoral colors being used close together, thus forming parti colored perpendicular stripes at regular intervals, or tho samo arrangement forms a deep border at the foot of the skirt above a two inch hem. ThiB is very effective for black net over black surah, tho net hanging very full, without drapery, and either gathered or laid in deep side plaita. ltibbons from half an inch to an inch in width aro also employed to give those striped and bordered effects and are sowed eithor outside or under tho net. Two or threo contrasting colors are sometimes placed in clusters of three.if two colors only aro employed, pink and green; for example, ono stripo will have greon in the middle and the next Htripo pink.

If there aro three colors the rotation is changed for each stripe. An accordion plaited skirt in white cash mere or soft vailing is charming ror a graauaung dress. At the foot of the skirt sew ribbon half an inch in width, feather edged moire is pretty, as tiimiv rows as is liked, and mako the Empiro waist with guim pe and full sleeves and a sash of white moire ibbon tied about the waist and hn jshed in a long looped bow at the loft aide of the front. Pale rose color, buttercup yellow, or any oftho pretty green tints is effective used in this way on fine whito woolen goods, India bub; or surah. Charming drosses are made for street woar in the finer oualities of cheviot in borderea good and Persian patterns in medium shades of gray, green and all the dulled Bhados of poaitive colors enlivened by silk in brilliant hues.

VailincB. challies and crepe de Venise, a cheer fine gauzy wool, come in all the delicate, half faded looking shades ot color now so lasmonaoio and will make lovely evening dresses. Figured challies and delaines in colored designs copied from brocaded Empire silks are extremely pretty for afternoon dreasea and thoir variety, both nattern and price, is apparently endless. Among the made up or Btock dresses, as they are called by merchants, are a number in smooth cloth of various colors, braided or embroidered at verv moderate prices, mado in the latest de Kitrns. A remarkably pretty dress, well made in stylish design, is offered at $25.

It is in dark bluo challi with white figures, the skirt draped: hlun velvet panels at the side, the waiBt in Direc. roirn stvle with revers, velvet vest and high col lar, tho Bleeves tucked to fit the arm over the elbow, with puff at the top and one at tho wrist just above a deep velvet cuff. The materials aro excellent and it would be impossible to buy tno Bame quality and have the dress made in this stvle for anything like the money. There is a line of sateen costumoB offerod for sale that commend themselves to ladies of good taste and moderate means. Ono in marine bluo with round white spots sot over the surface in unique designs, baa panels in the sides of the skirt of Irish point embroidery, the Bido front of the skirt draped with wide solid blue and whito ribbons.

The basque back of tho waist is plain, one Bide of the front nearly covered with Irish noint embroidery, tho opposite side ot the sateen a little fulled and banded with the blue and white satin odtred ribbons. Sleeves trimmed with em broidery and ribbons. Such a costume may be had at $27.50. The Bame model can bo had in poacock blue and cream color, with bluo and cream ribbons, and an extremely' pretty dreBB in brown sateen with pink design is also noted. Amonc tho latest novelties in wraps are smooth faced cloth garments, that will prove favorite Btvles for young ladies during the entire Sum mer.

One style is in cape shape, mado to come just below the waist, and trimmed across the bot tom with a wide ruffle or the cloth pinked out lace pattern. These pretty garments come in a bright red shade, cardinal, tan color and a me dium blue ahade and gray. Another little mantle has a short cape back with long tabB in front, without lining, tho edge of tho cape pinked in points, under which ia a harmonising color in cloth pinked to match, the under oolor giving a Drettv effect from the outside. Black Bilk ulsters, or redingotes, as they may be called, aro desirable garments for ladies of all traveling wrap. Those made in a good quality of surah can be had as low as the Bame style being made in faille, the increasing according to the quality of the silk.

Each week brings a novel style in jackets, and there are many beautiful shapes. Every color and tono is brought forward, with vest of some brilliant effect, embroidered or braided, and they aro generally becoming. The long lace garments are meeting with favor, and many of the richost of the early importa tions are sold. New cloaks in flue gray and tan color cloths, light in weight and hanging beautifully, are in the Connomara and similar Bhapes, some tucked iu half inch folds from the round yoke to tho hom. The latter style is pretty in stripes and obviates tho chance of tho wind get ting under the flying folds of the cloak when it is worn as a Btoamor wrap.

Other styles are gathered upon square or round yokes, and some aro shirred directly around the neck. The Corinna is among the pretty models for houao jackets, and these jaunty and becoming garments are necessities of tho wardrobe. They are made up in Summer woolens, in light quality in silks, in tho pretty sateens, light or bright colors, and are more or leaB elaborately trimmed with ribbons and lace. The Corinna is an especially desirable model, suited for all classes of goods, the center back close fitting, quite Bhort, roaching just below the waist line, the sides and fronts longer, say about eight inches below the waist. A plaited ruffle of tho material is set on to the point at tho back, making it the length of tho sides and front.

The fronts aro loose, hanging over a full vest and mado with rolling collar tied at the bust with ribbon bow. Tho vest has a high standing collar. The sleeves are full at the top and gathered into a wido cuff at the wrist. Made in light colored soft silk and trimmed with it can serve for the same purpose as a tea gown if combined with a pretty skirt. Friuted China silk is verv stvliah for such a model, and if tho de signs are whito, let the vest, rolling collar and cuffs bo of white China Bilk, the edgea finished with rows of feather stitching or a narrow gimp or lace.

The flowors of Spring blossom out luxuriously in dressy bonnets and charming little capotes or tooue shapes show only a border of velvet or bead ing, tho crown being of fino flowers. Capotes of fine Milan straw or chip, in colors or in black, aro trimmed with strapped bows of ribbon held down with fancy pins. Bonnets of black or colored tulles, drapery net or shirred crapo on frames of satin wire, aro trimmed with garlands and clusters of roses, smilax and rosebuds, poppies or marguerites. Narrow velvet ribbon is UBod for the strings of bonnets of such' sheer materials. Wido brimmed, low crowned hats in the Directoire Btyle aro exceedingly piquant and becoming to fair youthful faces.

Two or three nodding ostrich tips and a bow of ribbons with long streamers form a coquettiah trimming for such hats. The young ladieB to whom thoy aro upt becoming wear low crowned English turbans or toques of fine straw or chip, or of a color to match the costumes with which they aro worn. A pretty straw hat for a young lady is an olive tinted straw, faced with dark green velvet and trimmed with full loops of wide armure ribbon Btriped in hair lines with green and gold and a lull wreath ot pale pink hedge roses with scant foliage. A recent letter from Paris reports tho beHt milliners as producing coronet bonnets without crowns that is to say, with an oval shaped opon inu at the ton but they mount the diadem of flowers upon something more substantial than a rim of wire. For instance, ono has a brim which consists of a double row of large cut jet beads of the kind known as clous, fastened to a two inch wide' band of gathered black net, on which a wreath of whito ox eyed daisies is secured, thicker in front than at the sides, and dwindling oft quite narrow at tho back.

At one of our largest exhibitions of imported millinery in March there were a few of these opon crowned bonnots, one of which was profusely trimmed with violets and blaok lace, the sides of tho open crown strapped across by wide black velvet ribbon, which left a small oval oponing in tho confer of the crown. Tho bonnet was much admired. It is surprising to see how reasonable importod dress trimmings can be bought. A very large invoice recently received iB offered at about one half tho price the first invoice brought. Colored silk and tinsel gimps from two to two and a hair incheB wide can bo had from 48 to 98 cents per yard.

Silk and tinsel Persian embroideries on white, black or colored grounds, very beautiful, aro from 25 cents to $2. GO per yard. Steel and black and steel gimps from $1.25 to $2.75. Among wash dress fabrics are new and beauti ful designs in tho Cleghorn novel ty zephyrs at 12 cents per yard, which were early 111 the sea Bon 20 cents, and corded Mandalay zephyrs and seersuckers at 8Mj cents, which wore 1 2'A. TheBO aro fast colors and make beautiful drosses for women or children.

Rome new sateens aro of domestic make, but aro now shown in all the French patterns in well defined, beautiful colors, and can be had at 12Mi cents per yard, while (ho French sateens are 35 cents. C. A. u. STONE THROWING.

Before many more centuries have passed Judaism and Christianity will clasp hands and proclaim together: "Have we not all one Father?

A London paper is authority for tho statement that faahionablo people will now Bit to ilcnner lor their portraits, as it is correct form to have an Academician paint one's likeness, not because ho is a genius, but becauso he is an Academician. The well known preference of M.

If any human soul has graoxally iiiid voluntarily subjected itself to evil passions, what need is there to call in (he hypothesis of diabolic agency to account for even the worst acts of which it may bo guilty? What tays an apostle? "Every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and The logic law of parsimony forbids us to suppose anything beyond this. What lusts aro, we know; what devils are, know not, nor have we any means of certifying ourselves in regard to thuir existence. Why, then, frame hypotheses beyond all need for tlu Moral and physical qualities, we understand, aro inherited. Will Dr. Lyman Abbott, standing in Plymouth pulpit, say: "No, it is a family devil that is inherited; the fiend that tormented tho father pursues the son and the grandson If ho will not Kay that, if he admits that a given individual may receive by inheritance a certain moral and physical constitution, what difficulty is thero in believing that to this source may be traced tho deeds which mark for good or for evil that individual's life Dr.

Abbott admits that "we cannot demonstrate the influence of. an invisible spirit over but neither can w'c, he proceeds to say, "demonstrate the existence of an ether whoso waves produce the phenomena of light." Tho difference between the two cases, howerer, is very easily stated. The devils aro not required to explain any phenomenon; we can get on perfectly well without that hypothesis; whereas, it was necessary to suppose an ether, in order to render the phenomena of light intelligible, by assimi lat ing them to those of sound, produced, as we have discovered, by the vibrations of another medium. We do not doubt, indeed, that tho amiable Brook lyn divine would gladly throw the whole doetriuo of devils overboard, as not only useless but hurtful, were it not for the sanction which he understands it to receive irom the Scriptures. But if it is to be received on faith, why mar the work of faith by trying to show that it may also be accepted on grounds of reason? Faith is only weakened by such help: and reason certainly is not benefited by being put to such forced labor.

Popular Science Monthly. MNP AT MOUNT VERNON. What old timer does not recollect the coming oi Jenny Lind to our shores in 1850, and the extraordinary furore created by her singing? Of cotirso I only know what I'vo read about it, but 1 remembor one incident in particular, her visit to Mount Vernon. Tho great songstress had been deeply touched by stories of the illustrious patriot, and upon reaching Washington tho first request was to be taken to Mount Vernon. When Colonol Washington, tho then proprietor of the estate, heard of her wish, ho chartered a steamboat and made up a party, which, beside Mr.

Bar num and MiBS Lind, included Mr. Seaton, the Mayor of Washington, and other notable citizens Tho boat landed near the tomb and tho party proceeded thither. The Swedish woman's big heart ran over as drew near this sacred spot. From this point she was conducted to the mauBion, where a fine collation was served. With childlike enthusiasm sho gazed upon every relic of the great leader.

When the party had reached the library Colonel Washington took a book from one of the shelves and presented it to her. Not only had it been Washington's but it contained his book plate and his name written with his own hand. Miss Lind was greatly moved. She drew Mr. Barnum aside and insisted upon making some suitablo return for the gift then and there, and although her watch aud chain was a costly ono and had been a present from a friend, Mr.

Barnum had great difficulty in restraing her from at onco bestowing it upon Colonel Washington. "The expense ia nothing," sho exclaimed, "compared to tho value of this book Dear, good soul! But I wonder where the book is now! No doubt in possession of her family and properly cared for as a priceless memento of Mme. Lind GoldBchmidt's visit to tho New World. Book Lover.
