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. £S K an S ot J^^rj rt ™ IeBS- 1 argued, than oiht,- ' and they with these Ste uTV? rth a Stoat deal more than £jd Mi^nSS."“ y I>e W ° rtb nothinK ’" ha ?g them out on my fence,” he enough an d nobody here would care enough for them to take them.” tim'tara° Ume * , wiU for ot wme t 'vwiin P T a, '. f " t,l , re - U lO be hoped nr.d thuMr k " p J 2."

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.

JO oMrtli bMUfc THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1887. 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.
