THE CENTENNIAL.
The Wonders op the Art Gallery
—lts Statues, Paintings, Bronz
es, and Works of Art.
[From our Regular G'orresp onuent.l
Philadelphia, June 30,1876.
I confess l approach the discretion
of the Art Gallery with something like
a feeling of reverence. Very often in
my past letters I have treated grave sub
jects in a light and trifling manner, and
it is hard to suppress the spirit of fun
which meets you everywhere. Fat wo
men iu rolling chairs and lean women
on foot. Fat men waddling along like
ducks, and rolling, as a sailor would
sav, ucuppors under.- --Big hcoJ*.**4k
tie hats and little heads in rlo hMltCTill;
in fact, all sorts of sights and sounefs
calculated to oisturb the gravity of a
much sadder mao chan I am. In this
Memorial Hall you escape the eternal,
infernal rolling chairs, which are con
stantly bumping against you in every
other building, rolling over your favor
ite corns, knocking the bark off your
elbows and disturbing your peace of
mind generally.
Memorial Hall, commonly known as
the Art Gallery, is a noble building to
look at; majesty and grace are in every
line of it, from turret to foundation
stone It is just such a building as
might have crowned the Oapitolian Hill
when Home was the mistress of the
world. Memorial Hall was buili! by the
State of Pennsylvania, at a cost of one
million five hundred thousand dollars,
and was loaned by the State to the Cen
tennial Commissions to be used as the
repository of its art treasures during the
exhibition. The building is of white
granite, being in the style known as
modern renaissance. The area cover
ed is an acre and a half, it is 3U5 feet
long, 210 feet wide. A magnificent
dome, 150 feet high, springs from the
centre, capped by a collossal ball on
which stands Columbia holding a laurel
wreath. On each corner is our nation*
emblem, the eagle, with wiegs out
stretched and talons clenched, as
if to defend this sacred temple of art
from foreign or domestic foes. In front
of the main entrance stands the collossal
figure of a soldier resting on his musket
looking sternly down on the pigmy mul
titude that surge and crowd around his
mighty pedes'ai. The approach is up
a noble flight of steps, and passing
through a beautiful archway you find
yourself the vestibule of the hall. It is
a grand sight. Ido noc wish to speak
to the traveled few who have wandered
through the wonders of the Borghese
Palace, who have reveled in the art mir
ac’es of ‘he Vatican and the Tuiileries,
but rather let me speak to the millions
who have been denied she opportunity
of a continental travel, and for them I
say the sight is grand. I care not for
your Appollo Beividere, or your Venus
de Medicis. Here is art enough for
me—art, true and noble, bearing the di
vine stamp of godlike inspiration and
breathing in every lineament and line
—the same heavenly genius that made
the marbles of Phidias and Praxutelos
immortal It is true that there is much
that is crude, and much that is unwor
thy of such a hallowed association, but
there were many interests to conserve,
conflicting views to reconcile, and I ac
cept the gracious offering as a whole
with thanks, blessed in the privilege of
being permitted to see so noble a tern
p’e filled with a magnificent collection
of art.
Where shall I begin? All 1 there’s
my trouble. In one hall, among the
Spanish collection, hangs a dead Christ,
by Murillo, in another, among the Brit*,
ish collection, the guilty Macbeth looks
down from the canvass of Maclise. lie
is surrounded by his court, he starts,
affrighted at the shadow of the
ghostly Banquo, and you can almost
heir him shriek, in his terror, “Avaunt,
and quit my sight: earth hide thee ; thy
bones are marrowless, thy blood is cold."
The wile ofCowdev’s Thane is as noble
a figure as was ever embodied upon the
painter’s canvass,as she waves the guests
away while she looks upon her guilty
husband. You can read in her sad face
the heart agony which a few months
later laid that mighty mind in utter and
hopeless ruin. Daniel Maclise was a
nob’e painter. Scotland may well be
proud of her distinguished son. In an
other nook hangs a littie gem that filled
uie with inexpressible sadness; the mil
lions passed it by unnoticed, and yet it
is from the pencil of ore whose name is
immortal wherever art has a worshiper
It was a sick monkey, from the easel of
Sir Edward Lendseer. There were
many pictures moie pretentious, but not
one in the vast collection more truthful
than this humble offering from one of
England’s greatest painters. Cold aud
silent now, beyond the icach of the
plaudits of the whole world, I \yould re
member the great artist oniy as he stood
in the pride of his manhood and the ze
uith of his fame. It filled me with grief
unu terable to think that the cun
ning finger that guided his magic pencil
should clutch at last the maniac’s straw
and perish behind the bars of a mad man
cell.
Albert Beer.-tadt is represented by
two of the grandest triumphs of his life
—a view of the big trees of Mariposa,
and his magnificent pictures of the Yo
semite Valley. It is a grand concep
tion, grandly worked out it the honest
spirit of a genuine aitist; but inanoths
er room hangs a Yosemite Valley by
Thomas llill, of San Francisco, which,
to my thinking.is one of the noblest pic
tures in the exhibition. I have been
there; I have beard the mighty roar of
Truth Conquers All Things."
its tremendous waterfalls, and sat De
neath the shadow of those cloud’reach
ing granite hills, that loots like the walls
of heaven. I have watched the mist as
it rose through those wondrous aisles
and been rocked to sleep by the sighing
of the pines that sounded like an angel’s
wail; and in all the grand essentials
that go to make up that wild mountain
landscape, no artist, living or dead, has
exceeded Thomas Hill. Next in merit
comes his Donner Lake, looking so calm
and beavtiful, nestled away among the
mountains and yet indissolubly connect
ed with one of the saddest facts in the
whole of our American hisorty. Here
'perished forty emigrants in 1846, and
for weeks the few that survived livee on
the bodies of the dead. Take heart.
r vo "
pfeou-un these gjv.iio prctroH,,w6iTnthou
sands and thousands of dollars, and re.
member, no matter how poor you are,
that ten years ago this very July aay,
Thomas Hill was just as poor as you are.
As an artist he was entirely unknown to
fame, and lie labored in bis little studio
on Montgomery street, San Francisco,
for hardly enough to keep body and
soul together. These were indeed days
of suffering and probation. If his heart
sometimes flagged, his artist soul was full
of strongest purpose, and after years of
toil to-day, amidst the collected gtuius
of the woid, his works are almost without
a rival. Here, too, a e some of the most
glorious Mosaics that the eye ever feast
ed on. Landscapes, as rich in color and
beauty aa evcr brightened the dreams of
Claude Loraine. Entering one room
you are met at the door by a witching
young sylph partially enveloped in a net.
It is simply wonderful. It looks as
though you could shake it like a skein
of silk; but near it is another by the
some artist, Corona, of Laly. The sub
jeet is the freeing of the dove. This
is one of the marvels of the exhibition.
The drapery is a miracle of art. The
lace on her chemise is worked out with
a detail that speaks rather of the
wonders of the loom than the cunning
of the sculptor’s chisel. A little beyond
is the finding of Moses, a magnificent
conception from the chisel of Barznglii
—the head of the infant Moses being
beautiful beyond description. Close to
it is the forced prayer, one of the sweet*
est little gems ever cut in math e. The
subject being the child compelled to say
his prayers before going to bed. He
stands in his little nightshirt, with his
hands together, his lips arc drawn down,
a big tear stands in his eye, ar and it is
very evident that praying is not his
strong suit. But my space grows short
and I must close by giving you the latest
joke out. Last tveck a Jerseyman cn
his way to the Exhibition met another
sightseer on the who hail and from the
State of Maine. It is tu.tona j w'nn you
arrive at the grounds to go to the build
ing of your State and register your name
and address, so that your friends can
find you. r I he Jerseyman inquired for
the Jersey State bnild’ng, and 011 reach
ing it looked around at hij friend from
Maine with a feeling of very pardonable
pride, and said what do you think rf
this? The Maine man felt a little
abashed, for the building erected by
New Jersey is oneof the chief ornaments
of the grounds. After the Jersey man
had registered, they strolled cut again
and my friend from Arcostook inquired
of a policeman the way to the Maine
building. That polite official immedi*
ately pointed to the structure which
stands on the right of (he gate and faces
Machinery Hall. The Maine man bright
ened and gave a contemptuous look to
wards his Jersey neighbor ; but to make
sure, he inquired of another official at
the dour“lf this was the Maine building”
The official blandly assured him that it
was. Aroostook entered in and looked
around. He could hardly believe his
eyes. The wealth of the world was at
his feet; the genius of the world haa
thrown around it a halo of glory He
gasped, he chuckled, he almost danced
delight, and grasping his Jersey friend
he roared in his ear, in a so t of pig’s
whisper, “New Jersey is pcoty good, but
old Maine is my buckelberry. I tell you
when she takes hold she can clean them
all*” The differance after all was only
in a letter. Moral : Mind your i’s.

A Sensitive Juryman. —“ Are!
you satisfied with the jury gentle i
men ?” said Judge Noonan this morn
ing after the jury had been impanell
ed.
“We are,” said all the lawyers in cho
rus.
A tall, giunt figure rose up solemn
ly at the jury box, and said impressive
ly—“ I’m nut.”
What’s your objections 3ir. ?” in
quired his honor.
“This man on my left has been eating
onions ’
‘ Objections overruled, go on with
the case,” observed Judge Noum n with
a siguitUant glance at the Shevifi, and
the tali man sat down resignedly, end

nal of disii css.
Domestic Diplomacy.
Mrs. Jones was standing in her back
yard feeding the ch’ekens, when Stone
wall Jackson came running in, crying
as though his heart would break, and
told her that Billie Brown had slapped
him for nohting. Mrs Jones never said
a word but she gritted her teeth hard
and went into the house to cut cabbage
and choppel it so fine thinking it was
Billie Brown’s head, that you might
have sifted it through a cob-web. While
Jones sat eating his dinner that evening
Mrs. Jones told him of the outrage that
had been committed and asked him
what he was going to do about it. Jones
pondered. Billie Brown was fully
twenty one years old, a shining light in
the fire department, pitcher in a base*
bah eh'h, and Ujui the general reputa*
to n amdifg %'xtferts of being “a good
man.” After considering these things
carefully, Jones came to the conclusion
that the test course to pursue was ‘ to
treat Brown with contempt,” ard so he
told his wife adding by way of paren*
thesis, “my dear, such cattle are beneath
our notice.”
“All right, Mr. Jones,” said Mis. —
Jones, “if you’re not man enough to
protect your family, thank God ! I’ve
got a brother,” and she swept from the
room with a look that Jones knew only
too well, fie had seen that look on her
face once before, when he. brought a
friend home to dinner on washing day
and lie knew it meant war. There was
no help for it; it flashes upon Jones with
the aof lightning ; th r wool 1
be no peace in the Jones family until
the insult of the morning had been wip
ed with blood.
That night the boys were all sitting
in a nei D hboring beer-saloon and its
geniel proprietor was telling them what
he would do if iie get the nomination
for Alderman. This gentleman, whom
we cail Mike, because that was not his
name, w’as an ex-prise-fighter, could
barely write his name, and was in many
other respects especially qualified for an
41dcrman lie kept good beer, and of
fered it with that lavish liberality and
reckless.less of espemlitude for which
V icksburg Candidates are famous. Jones
came in. took his pro rata of beer, and
sat himself down to meditate upon the
Brown affair. At last a happy idea
seemed to strike him ; he cali for an
other “Silo.- fly,” and rubbed his hands
and slapped his knees in gleeful anticL
patioft.
At laot he said to Mike with a care
less air “Mike, is Bill one of our suppor
ters.
“You can bet your inunkeymuck on
that,” said Mike; “there’s a boy I do
stand solid,”
“1 hut’s strange,” said Jones.
“What's strange?” said Mike, with
that uneasy, suspicious air common
among candidates.
‘ Oh, nothing,” mysteriously; “I don’t
think 1 ought to tell.”
“Well, 1 will,” said Jones, “but you
must keep it confidential.”
“All right; go ahead,” said Mike
anxiously.
“Weil,” said Jones, “I juse came from
ilie Centennial barroom, and heard
Brown say you didn’t know your head
from a shot gun : that he caught you
one day reading a newspapei uj side down
and that he'd sooner vote for the lowest
dowi town nigger in the ward than vote
for you, and that if you were elected
city scrip would go down to five cents
on tin* dollar, and taxes go up so high
you could not reach them with a bal
loon.”
Mike put on Lis bat and coat and
made a bee line for the Centennial bar"
room.
Jones went home and sat down on
the front gallery, spoking a cigar with
that peace of mind which only one can
know whose bosom is distended with
the proud consciousness of having done
a good action.
About a half an hour afterwards
he said to his wife, who was sittiug ia>
siue •
“Mrs Jones, I dou’t think Brown will
hit our. boy auv more.”
“Why ?”
“Come and see.”
Mrs. Jones stepped to tiro window
and looked out. They were bringing
Brown home on a shutter, with both of
his eyes bunged up and bis nose drip.,
ping blood at every pore.
Mrs. Jones turned to her husband
and said :
“Darling, can you forgive me ?”
•Jones drew himself up haughtily and
replied with withering sarcasm :
“Mrs Jones, I don’t think I aui able
to protect this family ; you’d better send
for your brother.”
Mrs. Jones was crushed.
A Desperate Lover —A Maine
man being refused bv a widowed lady for
whom he worked and to whom be made
an offer of marriage went into the
kitchen, emptied a pail of water on the
floor and spread a red fandanna baud
kerchief on it, tied another around his
lay down in the puddle and uttered a
sound half waj between the notes of a
dying swan and a calf with the coN
ic. The lady of the house went
to to the spot as soon as she could but
when she stepped in the water and
in the dirn 1 ig;ht of the
morning saw Tuttle stretched out
among the red stuff, she was so terri
fied with his sanguinary
that she was not restored until three
hours had had elapsed. Tuttle was
restored and put in bonds to keep the
peace—so ends his dreams of love.

Fashion Items jt'XjnlHined and

To the ordinary, and especially
masculine mind fashion items are hard
ly more intelligible than Chinese wash
bills. A key is necessary to their pro
per understanding. An attempt has
been made to put the key to the following
batch of fashion nv'tes taken from a re
cent St. Louis paper.
“Cream color is on the wane.”—
That accounts for its scarcity “on the
milk.”
“Very little false hair is worn.” Tow
and jute ure cheaper and more conve

“Frizetts are no longer fashionable*”
They catch in spiral shirt, studs, and in

“Fashi nnl>!a slr.rts bosoms remain

“Cream color ns a fashion is now go

Wauled the Coin.
A country merchant was in town a
few days ago, and he concluded that he
would astonish the natives out in his
village by shoving out some of the real
old. unadulterated, simon pure, original
coin of the loaln. So he just stepped
into a bank and said he would take fife,
ty dollars’ worth of coin, and the oblige
ing cashier, with an obsequious smile
on his manly “physimahogamy,” just
counted out the change and scooped
in the grangers treasury note with a
nonchalance that was refreshing to be,
hold.—And thcr 3 stood the granger,with
eyes swelling constantly in size, as he
beheld the comparative mountain metal
of that had arisen to his view upon the
spot where he had just desposited a
fifty dollar note. Fifty dollors in sil
ver small change was bigger than he ex
to pected it to be. But he commenced
bestow it away and it wasn’t lerg until
the strain upon his susDenders had les*
sened the number of buttons on the
band of the bifurcated article of his
wearing apparel and warned him that
he had all the weight in his pants
pockets that would be prudent to carry

Our lioyhoort Homes.
The heart has memories tint
never die: the rough-and-tumble of (ho
world cannot obliterate them. Feeble
and palsied age, trembling on the brink
of the grave, has them when everything
else Ims fled away and been forgotten
They are the memories of our boyhood's 1
homo, the home where we were born,the
yard with its health of roses and flower*
decked vines, the lilac bushes where the
robins, made their nests each spring,
paying their rent in songs as we often
dream of, but n -ver hear of nf.erwards;
the old elms and swing where tlie chil
dren used to play ; all the while the
mother sat at the low front window, hey
face gleaming out occasionally through
the folds of the daiuty mus’in curtains
—and the old house with its queer cor
ners and nooks, and the neat tidy cham
ber where we used to dream of ull the
bright world had in st-ue lor us Boy
hood’s home, with its bright dreams,
sunny hours, cloudless skies, moments
of bliss and gloriou;. happiness, now on
ly lingers in the memories of many of
them.
Neither change nor time, neither dis
tance nor disease, nor guilt nr passion
can ever efface or blot out from the heart
those memories of the springtime of our
lives.
Why Johnson’s Kam Failed Cct
a Prize.
Our connfy fair is just over : but
Johnson’s Cotswold did nut take the
prize that wars offered for the best nhP
mal of that kind. Judge Klump was
chairman of the committee on rams,and
he manifested the deepest interest in
Johnson’s, indicating clearly that if any
sheep ought to take a prize that one
ought to. Johnson’s ram was in a pen
by itself with a high board fence, and
before adjudicating the Judge thought
he had better go in and make a close ex
amination of the firmness of its wool.
As soon as the Judge reached the in*
terior he walked toward the ram, where
upon the ram began to lower his head
and shake it ominously. Just as tho
Judge was about to feci tlie fleece, the
ram leaped forward and planted his
head in the Judge’s stomach,rolling him
over on the ground. Before the Judge
had time to realize what bad happened,
the ram came at him again and began a
series of promiscuous butts, each given
with the precision and force of a pile
driver. It butted the Judge on the back,
on the ribs, on the arms, on the shoul
der blades, arid the bald place on bin
head, on his shins, it butted his spec
tacks off, it butted bis high hat into
silk chaos; it butted him over iato the
corner and up against the fence, then it
butted four boards off the pen, and es
caped into the fair grounds and skedad
dled, and would not wait to have the
first prize ticket pinned to his ear.
Judge Klump did not go after it. No,
no ! Four men came and carried him
home. The doctor anticipates ho will
recover about the time we have our ne&t

('lassie Slang
If it is slangj it is really eassical slang
And yet of the thousands who use the
term, how few—how very few—know
its origin or primitive significance.
Truly it is a heroic thing to say of a
man to call him a brick. The word so
used, if not twisted from its original in
tent, implies all that is brave, patriotic
aud loyal,
Plutarch, in hi3 “Life of Agesilaus,”
king of Sparta, gives us the origin of tho
quaint and familiar expression.
On a certain occasion, an ambassador
from Epirus, on a diplomatic mission,
was shown by the king over his capital.
The ambassador knew, that though on
ly nominally a kink of Sparta,be was yet
ruler over Greece, and he look to see the
massive wall rearing aloft their embalm
tied towers for the defense of the chief
towns; but he found nothing of the
kind. Marvelled much at this and spoke
of it to the king.
“Sire,” he said, “I have visited tho
most of the principal towns, and find no
vails reared for their defense. Why i3
this?”
“Indeed, Sir Ambassador.” replied
Agesilaus, “thou canst not have looked
carefully. Come with me, to.morrow
morning, and 1 will show thee the wall's
of Sparta.”
On the following morning the king
led his guest out upon the plain, where
his army was drawn up in battle array,
and pointing proudly to the serried hosts
he said :
“There, sir, thou biholdest the walls
of Sparta—lo,ooo men, and every man
a brick !”
He held the old shirt up by the neck
before discarding it forever, but he was
not mourning for the garment. He on
ly said, “1 wish 1 had all (he drinks
that have gone through that old
baud,”
Many a man thinks it is virtue that
keeps him from turning a rascal, when
it is only a full stomach. One should
be caieful not to mistake potatoes for
pi inciplcs.
An Irishman beiug asked why he
left his country for America, replied,
“It wasn t for want ; I had |lchty of
that at home.”
Ihe man who k‘*pt a record of now
often he repeated no drinks, use to call
it his enlccx rum”
