Bostos, March 8.—Henry Bacon's groat pict- gro bas srrived from Paris and is on exhibition 3t Armory Hall. The enbject is “Gen. Goge sod the Boston Bove.” It is the representation of that old story which ia told in Lossing of the little fellow of 1775, who, exzsperated o interference of Guge's soldiers with their B ¢ ly-ground upen the ‘Common, wont in a body foGen. Gage himeelf to demand protection of \heir richts. Six years ago, when Xr. Bacon wis in Boston on & vikit, I saw the study for tis picture. It was o emali canvas, perhaps of 3¢ fnches, bot fall of the graphic touches aod indications which £ro elaborated so finely ontbslarger canvas. In coloring Mr. Bacon follows tho French school of art to a cortain ex- tent. His haudling of it is most excellent and b spirited treatment of details, his grooping so4 geveral arraugement of all his figures, i3 vary unique, and shows & fortile mind in the ‘ogion of pictarosque suggestivenesd.

And of an afterncon a fow dnye before, soveral ladies met ot the houge of one of tho number to perfact the arrangements. Tt was determined to give a grand affir, —some- thing eepecially desizned to transcend the ton- party by a rival organization last year. ‘o this purpose it becama nscessary to dovote the most carefal thought to all the detsils, and this was done. In fact, it would bo difficult to find & moro conscientious committee in & ham- ot the size of Danbury. When all the par- ticulars were arranged, and tho various standa and minor offices assigued to tho ordinary mem- bers of tho society,—who wero not prosent,— tho important question a8 to who should take thoe leading charscter was brought up. With a viewto do without ihe dolay and feeling of balloting, the President kindly offerad to do Lady ‘Washington herso!f. She said that she felt it was not a favorable selection, but sho was will- ing to take it, 8o that there need be no discus- gion or ill-feoling, 1f she thought sho had not placed & sufliciontly modest estimate upon her qualifications for the post, she was presently set atreston that hend. Mer offer was recoived with silence. **What do you think 2" sha asked, “I'm will- ing to do it.” “Lady ‘Washington never weighed 250 ponnds,” ominously hinted a thin lagy, with very light eyes. “She had fst enough on Lier to greaeo & grid- éle, wlich is more’n some folks can claim,” ro- torted the President, with soything but o dreamy expression to her face.

Opera-House, directly nfter tho opening of tho doors for the matinee on Wodnesday, was the most impressive exhibition of woman’s force of character ever witnessed in this quarter of the distracted world. Thern ware at least 400 ladies, and they were erowded up against the entrance and on the etairsays liko snrdines in & box, wiilo they straggled and watched and grew foverishly impatient for the first chancs to rueh wildly into the auditoriom.

That's what became of Pharaoh! Now, when Mosos struck that rock for oil, he did not find any. Why?
