From Our Oum Correspondent. . . ‘Bosrox, April 4. —Tarner's ** Slave-Ship ™ is the great attraction at the Art Muscum just now. On the free days, Sundays and Saturdays, throngs: of isitors stand before it. ~But asfar 25X can judge {he sttraction iaBot that of unqualified admiration, But of nnqualified amazement. . For myself, not- withstanding the verdict of the Zranscript critic, who writes sonlleas ignorance against the Juckleas ‘mortal who cannios sée the splendors of this canvas, Tam free 1o confess that I looked in vain to ind the moflf of this picture; which the title ‘indicates lave-Ship.” It might have been any ‘wrecked vescel, for sught T could se€; though the printed circular describes the ghastly and sickening specta- cle of the arms, legs, -etc., of -the slaves which Bave been thrown overboard snd partly con- gumed by fishes, and washed by the waves to the shoreward front of the canvas. Manacles are also described a8 still. clinging to these limbs, and thereby adding to the horror. My first view of the plctore was rather a_close one, owing to the crowd of people, and my firat frankly-espressed opinion; therefore, was of utter failure to see anjtiing ex- cept 3 storm-wreck, most amazingly shot through and {hrongh with a suddenburst of sunlight, which threw itsred and yellow shine across a whirl of fosming waves, npon-which rode, or tossed. a wrecked vessel.

Presentiy a mest commonplace resemblance 10 a miniatare leg of mutton took form, cleft rude- Iy atthe top, snd with’something which Jooked very like a leather shoe-siring carled aoont it. When I communicated this discovery to one of my companions; I was informed that1 had seen the Jimband manacles of a slave, or what was left thereof, by the devouring fishes, whose visual organs seemed t6 be the largest partof them. 1was farthermore informed that, to get the real effect, I must look at the picture from & greater distance, when everything wonld” ¢*come ont." I thougnt about encugh unpleasantness had come out al- ready, but I was .bound to see Turmer's pictare n all lights, and ali there was of it.

And from each point I conld see only a breaking storm wrack, eun smitten, and a vessel's wreck riding vzon the angry waves.' Sofar it was a picture, novel and weird, and with great elements of beauty even to an uncritical eye. But I waited in vain for the un- plessantness in the foregromnd to tire right to ‘‘come ont™ with any of the aspect of tragedy. To my vision there. wasmosuch comingont.

A touching incident which occurred afew days ago to to a rich American, traveling from Basle In the express train to Paris, has created much sensation in that city. The traveler was’the - | sole occupant of & coupe, and carried with him $16,000. At 11 o’clock at night, being on French territory and fast aslteep, he was suddenl awakened by a tug at the courier’s bag w was slung round his shoulder. He started to ‘his legs and found himself face to face witha beardless youns man of distinguished appear- ance, who forthwith attempted to escape from the carriaze. The American” gentleman how- ever, held b#m fast by the collar and called Loua'x for assistance, but failed to make himself eard. 3 The young man then, falling on his kuees, im- plored pardon for his attempt at. robbery, stat- ing that he was_a Russian, who, being compio- ‘mised by the affairs that have lately taken place in Servia, was taking refuge in France. Beiny penniless, he had hidden himself upon the roo! of onc of the railway carriages, hoping thus o reach Paris, where he had friends, and only en- ‘| tered the compartment where he found the American on account of the piercing cold, which as unbearsble on the top of the carriage. The American, touched by this story, with' tears in hiis eyes offered to pay the stranger’s fare to Paris. - On arrival at the terminns the American left the young strancer for a few minutes to look after his.luggage, but on his return was unable to find lnm. ~ His suspicions being aroused, he examined his pockets and found that a small goes. o The village election, which is of greator impor- tance, sizce it {s the Board of Trustees that levies the appropration bill and makes the expenditures, will occur a week from Tuesday, and will bring ont 8 larger voto, probably by 200, 1f the Citizens' ticket, so-called, otherwise Pete Schlund's, meuns 10 win, ite managers are pursuing an unwise coure, They are forcinz a sectional feeling which is great- Iy to be deprecated, because it is unneighborly and unwise. Trustees should not leglslate for any eec- tion. but for the common good, and_the peaple of the village should not be ‘arrayed in hostility to those of another. Hyde Park extends from Thirty- ninth strect to the Indianp line, and at South Chi- cago the territory north of Grand Crossing is pop- ularly known 23 the North End. It embraces the largest residence section, and its people, for the most_part, do business in the city, or at tho Stock-Yarde. -Sonth of that point an cffort is being mado to solidify the vote, on the ground that South Chicago and all the interests along and beyond the Calumet are common, and -should pre- sent a united frout to the North End. . A Jocal pa- per has taken up this cry. To éater to this feeling the Convention ‘nominated three of the six Trus- tees, Measrs, Schlund, Taylor, and Bowen, who live on the ban’s of the”Calumet River, and all the voters of the South precincts aze urged to stand Dy_their section regardless of otner interosts. Such a course is suicidal. South Chicago has no cause of complaint. It has now thres Trastees, and there exists north of the Crossing a_growing jealousy of 1ts power. The men who make this octional cry do not reflect that of the 1,600 votes cast last Tuesday 900 were north of the Crossing, and that they pructically invite a consolidstion of this vote aguinst the candidates on the Cajumet. In the north there exists no such fecling as is Tepreseuted In tho south. It belicves that South Chicago and the Calumet region should huve ita fall rupresentation, proportioned, of course, upon pop- ulation and the assessed value of property; but, to THE SULTAN.

For instance, the Bridge Fund shows an increase for the present year, but it shonld be borne In mind that the Board of 1875 ordered the constraction of One Hundred and Sixth street bridge, and the pres- ent Board had to pay forit. The present Board also had to pay $800 hall rent incurred_during 1874 and 1875, and for publishing ordinances which were compiled durin 5, £1,200,—hence ..the . -inaressa. paid ‘on the Hall and Jail Faunds, and the Advertising Fund. It should also be stated that during the fiscal year 1875 the Town of Lake refunded & considerable amount of money, which went to the credit of the Water-Works Expense Fund, which is not the case now. 3 During the present year your Board of Trustecs Ravo repealed epecis! assessment and condemna- from tion proceedings, relieving the propert: levies amomnting to over $500,000.
