T3?PJS3’3 art TREASURES.
Etchings and Engravln£B Owned by
the Alabama lielativo of Tviruer.
From the Montgomery Advertiser.
Thanks to the kindness of Dr. McDaniel,
of ('air.den, I was enabled to visit the chil
divn of Mr. Topper and through their kind
ness was given every facility to judge
Turner’s works in the house. The home is
an attractive one with a large flower yard
in tront and au orchard and garden an
nexed. One is struck at once on entering
with the evidences of this great artistic in
heritance. The walls of the hall way and
of the parlor into which T wns ushered were
hunc with engravings of a number of Turn
er's more famous pictures, with their fa
milial - dreamy effects in aerial perspective
and their piles upon piles of massive ma-
Over the door was a steel portrait of the
event artist himself, dressed in a fur great
coat, and looking diffidently, it seemed to
me Pt upon the world, fhe month was
one of extraordinary sensibility and
refinement, and I wondered as I looked
upon his face at the stories 1 had
read of this man’s physicial hideousness and
more of his orgies with the trails of Wap
ping O'er the mantel hung two small oils,
one a landscape and the other a marine.
1 recollected that T had once looked upon
Turner’s “Slave Ship.” and mistaking it for
o copv had abused it as im ugly daub.
Choat used to have his daughters nudge him
at the opera, so that he should not fail to di
late at the proper moment. 1 moved warily
around the two little oils over the mantel
prepared to dilate if it should prove an aus
picious occasion. If was not, however.
1 • -Tiiey were painted by some English
relatives of ours;” said Miss Topper; “of
llie Turner branch, 1 believe, but not by
Turner himself,” and jnv suspense was over.
“Do you paint at all,” l inquired.
<)h no, not a bit," she laughingly an
swered.
“Did your father ever draw at all;
She went quickly and brought a small
piece of pasteboard with a drawing in pen
cil op it.
••My father did this when he was a young
man, and before lie came to America.”
It was a fairly well-executed picture of
the court house in his native town of South
Molten. He had given it when yet jn Eng
land to a woman friend of his. and when in
1873 he retured to his old home in search of
a fortune he found his friend still possessed
of the little picture of the court house and
he begged it of her.
“I shall frame this and his little sign,”
said his daughter.
Turner's first drawings were mainly
architectural, and I wondered as I stood
there in the shadow of the tragedy that took
Samuel Tepper out of the world whether if
fortune had been kind, and if he, too, had
been a student at the Royal Academy,
whether there would hot have been for us
now great Tepper schools of art, Tepper
foundations, a Tepper cult, statues of Tep
per, lives of Tepper and huge books of
criticism upon the art of Samuel Tepper.
R A 1 wish I could have seen traces of
thee* possibilities in this sketch, and they
mav have lieen there tor ought I know. ”
■jlavr you any oil paintings of Turner’s!”
I asked Miss Tepper.
“None, whatever.”
“I will show - you what we have and what
lather prized most.
She went to the book-ease in the corner of
the room, anil from the bottom shelf she
drew out two large volumes bound in full
calf. Hhe carried them to the piano and
placed them on it. One the backs were
printed in letters of gold “Liber Mtudiorum. ”
Here was the result of so many years of ar
duous toil for Turner, spurred on by his
hunger for money and his emulation
of Claude. I opened the books profanely
and looked through them. I knew they
had no secrets for me.
“Can you tell me something alwut these
drawings!' I asked appealingly.
“No; I must confess 1 can't.
They were evidently a complete set of the
etchings and mezzotints of the “Liber Stu
diorutn, over seventy in all. The frontis
piece is “Tyre at Sunset, etched by Turner’s
own hand, the same that in “'Modern Paint
ers is accorded such hearty praise. The
body of the work is made up of an etched
outline on the one page with the completer
mezzotints of the same subject, on page
following. The etchings are done mainly by
Turner, and his name sometimes appears as
engraver. Most of the engravings (the mez
zotints! bore the name of Lucas or Turner
(not the artist).
Miss Tepper handed me in succession
>Pfs of “Rivers of France,” and “Finden’s
Bible Series,'’ all of which had been in turn
illustrated by Turner, and these were his
own origins 1 editions. Some of the pages of
these volumes showed the effect of the
damp air of the room where they had lieen
stored in neglect in London and left there
for years.
“ What value do you put on those, Miss
Tepper?’ ’
have no idea what they are worth.”
Did yoiu - lather ever fix a value for
them
Ho; he said often ‘they may be worth
a great many thousand dollars and they
may b> worth nothing. But it won’t hurt
to keep them.’”
bJ^. e J’fought me a catalogue he held in his
and during the days of the sale in London
a ia in which he had jotted down the prices
different pictures brought when sold. I
found bv reference to this that some of the
single etchings and mezzotints in tho vol-
Liber Studiormn” had lieen sold
AoO and t7O and £BO. These before me
re a completed set, over seventy of them.

the world. Such a retreat to be founded by
young girls hui been unheard of hitherto in
the world’s history. It is intended to rival
| in material, extent, and educational scope
Girard College. The first eost is to be s2ob,
000, and the young girls subsequently are to
pay the entire expenses of carrying on the
institution. The buildings are now well
under way, and will be ready for occupancy
before many mouths.
The young ladies, during their tour
abroad, have been visiting all the principal
Continental institutions for the education of
the young, and write that they have ac
quired much knowledge that will be of use
in carrying out their great project. Al
though so wealthy, there has been no show
whatever associated with their tour abroad.
They live in the simplest manner, and their
retinue of servunts consists of just two per
sons. They live in the same unostentatious
manner at home. They have a town house
in the fashionable quarters on "Walnut street,
and a beautiful country place about sixteen
miles from the city. They love the fields
and the river, and spend only about three
months in the year in the city. They care
nothing whatever for fashionable society,
and are rarely met at festive gatherings.
They arc thoroughly trained business
women, up in all the mys
teries of bookeepking, and they
themselves keep all the account*! in
connection with the every-day administra
tion of their fortune. Their recreations are
chiefly outdoor pleasures. They are skillful
horse-women, trained from childhood to
ride. They have a stable of fine horses, and
one meets them riding miles around their
country place. A ride of ten miles is an
ordinary indulgence, and a run of twenty
miles has not worn them altogether out.
They are fond of dogs, too, and they havo at
least fifty of the faithful creatures running
in and about their home. Their personal
expenditures do not equal a tenth of the sum
they give away yearly in charity. They
have a long list ot pensioners who depend
largely upon them for support; many old
friends and pensioners also of their late
father and mother. They are also regular
subscribers to many charitable institutions.
Begging letters pour in upon them by the
hundred. But, though they are not deaf to
any worthy appeal, most of these epistles
they promptly tuid prudently consign to the
flames. There is a chapel near to their house.
Of course they jwy most of the current ex
penses of that too. Still there they probably
get their money’s worth, for they attend
early service there every day. They teach
Sunday school in their own house, having a
class of sixty or seventy hove and girls
gathered from the country side. While
abroad all their various charities are kept up
by people whom they specially designate for
that purpose. Thus the good work goes on
ceaselessly. Altogether they are an excellent
trio for the three richest unmarried sisters
in the United States.
THE TALE OF A CLOCK.
How George W. Child’s Outbid A. T.
Stewart for a Time-Piece.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The handsome Mexican onyx clock which
stands in the reception-room of the city
residence of George W. Childs, at the south
east corner of Twenty-second and Walnut
streets, has been much admired by the
thousands of visitors to that hospitable
mansion, few of whom probably know the
history of the expensive time-keeper, which
is recalled by the death of Le Grand Lock
wood in New York. During the Paris Ex
position of 1337 Mr. Lockwood, who was a
visitor, became especially enamored of this
strikingly beautiful clock, whose base, 4
feet in height, supported a
superb silver statuette of Liberty,
swinging from one hand a pen
dulum. Mr. Lockwood, who was then very
wealthy, determined to own this clock, and
in the auction of exhibited articles bought
it, though the Czar of all the Russias, to
whom time w'as then of moment, was a
competitor in the bidding. Safely trans
ported to Norwalk, Conn., Mi - . Lockwood's
home, the costly time-piece was much ad
mired by the visitors to Mr. Lockwood's
house, and by none more than by Mr. and
Mrs. George W. Childs. Several years
later Mr. Lockwood’s house and its many
articles of virtu were offered for sale, and
at the suggestion of his good wife Mr.
Childs determined to buy this clock Ar
rived at the sale, and the clock put up, Mr.
Childs' first, bid was $3,000. A stranger
immediately behind him raised that $3OO.
Mr. Childs'saw the raise and raised back
$5OO, when the astonished stranger reaching
forward remarked:
“Sir, I come from A. T. Stewart with
orders to get that clock, and I must have
it. - ’
“I don’t care if you come from Golconda,’’
was the reply of the Philadelphian, and he
kept raising the bid of his opponent, much
to the auctioneer’s satisfaction, until he had
offered $0,500, at which figure Stewart's
man weakened. Mr. Chiids removed the
time-keeper to his city residence, where it
now ticks and tells that time is flying.
An American’s Experience in Algeria.
From the Poll Mall Gazette.
\V e take the following amusing description
of life in Algiers from the private letter of a
distinguished American at present residing
there:
“Life here is very pleasant most of the
time, and ought to lie all the time. We
have a small villa, with garden and orange
tree. We ride, drive, read and gossip with
the natives. The only drawback is a damn
able tendency on the part of the inhabitants
to drag oue perpetually before the juge de
paix. Soon after our arrival I had to dis
charge my corn' ere for impertinence and
other crimes. He, thinking lie would catch
me without resources m a strange laud, de
manded six months' wages for being dis
charged without sufficient warning. I of
fered him a week’s wages and fare back to
Paris. He got at the Judge first and pois
oned his mind. I was summoned, and then
the fun began.
“For a month I have been appearing week
ly in court swearing that the man had been
a setvant, he making himself out to be a sort
of gentlemnn-iuteTT)refer who ought not to lie
discharged. The .Judge, as I say, was en
tirely in favor of the corriere, though 1 liad
all tne law on my side. The joke is coming.
A week ago we had an audience again, and
the Judge said he would pronounce judg
ment that day week.
“On Saturday last I wrote a letter to the
Judge calling his attention to certain points
in the case which he had ignored in court,
and filially appealing to sa haute justice.
That, night the |ioor man took to his bed and
died on Sundaj. Whether niy letter killed
him I don’t pretend to say. Wo must wait
for another Judge to come before we prog
ress.
“I have another pi-oces in hand. The man

Conversation as a Study.
Kate Sanborn, in Journal of Education.
Aud why not! Why do we cram ologics,
osophies and onomies into a young girl’s
overtaxed braiu, and then complacently
send her out into the critical, censorious
world with a limited vocabulary, little
knowledge of the subtle moaning, the ins
and outs, the lights and shades of her own
language, scanty information on current
topics, less power to communicate what she
hod read, aud a few silly stock phrases,
which I wish could be obliterated. The best
scholars seem to be awkward, shy and silent,
unless drawn out upon their favorite study;
the more frivolous and superficial chatter,
indulge in superlatives, and giggle. Is this
too severe? A wise old bachelor, who has
had uncommon social opportunities and who
is always criticising his women friends in a
waj - at once cynical and helpful, said to me
the other day: “Why don’t you start a
conversation "class? It is an "art that is
strangely neglected. At least you can
write about this and try to wake women to
the fact that they do not converse. They
seem to merely open their pretty mouths
and let the words tumble out without any
plan or forethought. I asked a young lady
who was attending one of our best boarding
schools what instruction was given there
in conversation, aud she had never heard of
such a thing being attempted.” So lie set
me to thinking alia writing. Prof. Townsend
has given you a series of admirable essays
on conversation. lam sure he will not ob
ject to my following in the same track with
a few homely, every-day, actual illustra
tions. Let me speak first of unmeaning aud
annoying phrases which are universally
used by the slipshod talker.
Borne of iny friends, after making a state
ment that is self-evident, and that any one
but an idiot, could comprehend instantly,
will lead me along as if, non compos with a
tiresome, “D’yesee!” “See!” “See!” usually
accompanied with a monotonous gest.ureor
wave of the hand for added assistance and
explanation, as if the rather simple sentence
was an abstruse geometric problem, wliich 1
must approach by gentle degrees and with a
deal of boosting.
I once visited an otherwise agreeable
couple, where the wife would respond to all I
said, “To be sure,” “to be sure,” and the
husband used this odious “see!" constantly,
until I was forced to give up the intimacy.
They were good friends, but unendurable
from this habit..
“Doncher know?” and “all that sort of
thing,” are far too common. Others use
“you know” to punctuate their remarks,
when I do not know; or, “as you say,"
when I have not said anything of the sort.
Listen to the superlatives that pour out
from the lips of the average young lady or
married woman.
First and last let me anathematize “per
fectly lovely.” Bah'that is truly nauseat
ing. 1 venture to affirm that that much
abused phrase is used at least ten times
daily, by every school-girl, every college
girl, everv young lady in this country. It
is the stock phrase at” Smith, Wellesley and
Yassar; in fact conversation would droop
and languish without it. A young lady
conies in to see me, and she begins: “0
Miss Sanborn, how perfectly lovely your
rooms are! and isn’t it lovely to live in a
flat! and you have an elevator—how lovely!
Its just, horrid to climb three fights as I had
to yesterday, although the bride I called on
was so lovely I didn’t mind, you know. Her
rooms were fitted up so lovely with her
wedding presents, don’t you see! and she had
on a perfectly elegant rccepfcioh dress—just
too lovely tor anything, doncher, know! I
can't describe if, but it had lots of jet on sa
tin, and 1 was just lovely. Her hair, you
know, is just that exquisite, lovely chestnut
shade, with a ripple of gold, doncher know,
and all that sort of thing. You don't know
how I enjoyed your reception last week, the
music was so splendid! And that pretty
woman who whistled, wasn’t she bewitch
ing! just too lovely for anything! And the
men! you do get such nice men—good look
ing, and such swells! Oh, ma and I said
when we got home that it was perfectly
lovely. ”
I have heard that phrase applied to a
young pig, to a sausage, to an opera, to a
corpse!
I would like to start a society for its sup
pression and extinction. It a" tine of one
penny had to be paid every time it was
used, we could raise a million-dollar monu
ment to Gen Grant, send fifty thousand
young woman to Montana, put all the sew
ing-women and superfluous woman in easy
circumstances, and send out another Arctic
expedition. Others compel you to answer
their decidedly stale remarks, their truisms,
thier platitudes, by constantly, appending
a "Don't you think so!" “Don’t you agree
with me?” For Instance: “1 don't behove
ill divorce where there are children, for a
mother is always a mother, and a father
is a father still—don’t you think so?”
I am also distressed by the reiteration of,
“I< that so!” when I am endeavoring to in
terest a friend ill some news. Of course it's
"so,” or my veracity is cal Its i in question.
It is distressing to hoar certain phrases
"used as a substitute for wit, as this, which
is extremely popular: “My trunk went
over the wrong ferry,” said an unaccom
plished and traveled college graduate to me
the other day, “and so I had to trot down to
Barclay street to look it. up!” I looked at
the tall, graceful, intellectual girl, and
wondered now she could think it added to
the humor or interest of her narrative to
say she trotted, when in reality she took the
elevated train and rode there. Or, I hear
fills say. “I pranced about, and let him
now I was vexed.” Do they desire to be
thought coltish? And again, I notice such
an odd phrase, “I went to work and told
him all I had heard about his last mash. He
was all broke up, and yesterday he went to
work and wrote mo just the loveliest note,
just killing, and explained it alt; so I
thought 1 must just trot down to tell you all
about it.”
Just one more word that should be ta
booed. It is “well.” Let each one who
reads this count how many times he or she
begins a sentence with it in one day. I
watched a distinguished professor of litera
ti ve conducting a Shakespeare clans, and
counted over thirty “wells,” with nearly as
many inflections, during the first half-hour.
Giggling is not conversation. Many seem
to labor under that delusion. If compli
mented, they giggle; if embarrassed, they
giggle; if amused, they giggle; if they are
in want of anew theme, they giggle; if they
want to show appreciation of otbers’s talk,
t hey giggle. This bad habit spoils the ef
fect of thcTiest anecdote or the quickest re
tort. Don’t Ixi afraid to laugh, but don’t,
0 don’t luugh and talk at the same time.
There are various kind of giggles used to
punctuate conversation, as the .-.lirill “te-hec,
te-heo,” and the sniffling giggle, and the
nervous, half-hysteric giggle, etc., etc.
Watch your own conversation this week.
Watch your friends, and quietly study their
faults -not to attack and annoy them but to
learn what to avoid.
And another time I’ll report some styles of
conversation lam obliged to listen to witli
appearance of intercut.
