Arrival of Many Noted Specimens of the Limner’s Genius. Jacquand’s Historical Work of William the Silent Selling His Jewels. Page's Idealized Head of Shakespeare— Healy's Bismarck. Some of the paintings which the Exposition | Art Committce has secured for this year's dis- way have considerable historical interest, and drominent in this connection is the large paint- ang, by Claudius Jacquand, of William the Silent selling bis jewels in order that he might waise funds to carry on the war in the Nether- fands. The artist has not often been represent- 2d in this country, though he isan annual con- cributor of portraits and figure pieces to the Salon of Paris. By looking up his historical record, it appears that he was born in Lyons, and must now be at an advanced age. ashe gained the second-class medal at the Paris Exhi- Dition of 1824, won the first-class medal in 1836, and obtained the Cross of the Legion of Honor in 1839. The subject which he chose for the present picture is from'an interesting portion of the struggle between the Duke of Alya and the Prince of Orange, which makes Motley’s history of the period very rascinating. It was in the beginning of 1508 that Wiliam commenced to | wage war against the forces of the Spanish King, and in order to equin his forces, Motley Felates. “the Prince himself sold all his jewels, Pate, tapestry, and other furniture, which were of almost rezal magnificence.” The campsign ‘was a wearisome and fruitless one, his only ad- Versary avoiding any engagement, and, in De- cember, the unfortunate leader had pawned all his camp-equipaze, his plate, and his furniture to provide partial payment for his troops. Two years later, the Prince, who had been reared in | courtly splendor, had abandoned the old relfig- ion, entered with his jrhole heart into the Ref- ormation, disposed o! remaining plate and furniture to provide support for his soldiers, and was driven to the closest economy. The dignified reticence of the valiant man, who quelled a violent riot in the streets of Antwerp by his personal presence, conducted for five years a strugzie with the greatest General of the day, and finally gained liberty for his op- pressed country, furnishes a noble theme for the painter, whose respect for nobility and patriotic impulse could not fail to be kindied in elaborating such a subject. Next week this im- portant picture will be assiened a prominent place in the room occupied last year by the bat- ule picture, which will be known hereafter by the title Gallery E.. Previously the six grailerics in the Art Hall have been des- ignated by the points of the compass, Which has proved very puzzling to strangers, and sometimes in winding through the crowd | engaged in collectin; has been considered by many to be a wild dreamer, an in’ matters of philosophy, religion, and he is equally speculavive, having once in his carly ca- reer laid aside his palette and commmeneed at Phillips’ Academy and Amberat acourse of prep- aration for the ministry, and then with a reac- tion of mind gliding into a pronounced liberal- | ism. Planning to complete bis studies in Eu- | rope, he fell in love, and began steady work in New York. ‘Painting the “Mother and Child” for the Academy exhibition, hcevas s0 discust- ed with the picture at the private view that he wonld gladly have cut the canvas ant of the frame if he could have avoided the. attendant. ridicule, yet the nert moruine Prof. Mapes called to utter tho true prophecy ‘that this painting would make his reputation, When 40 “years old, he visited Venice and Florence, and, studying closely the Venus of Titian one day, the bare edge of the canvas attracted bis atten- tion, and he beeame convinced that that great master of color commenced all bis Juminous pictures upon a white base, with washes of blue- black, and for a quarter of a ceatury the euthu- slastic student has maintained that this is @pe correct theory of art. After spending ciht years in Europe, he paid a flying visit to his old home, but soon went back to Rome, where be married his second wife, having lost the first some ‘ time "before, and, approaching his 50th year, he intended to abandon portraiture and to give himself to the creative work of figure-painting, but longer re- flection convinced him that his own tield gave him’ abundant scope for the study of character, and perhaps this has caused much of bis work to be idealized. The very characteristics of this Progressive, industrious, enthusiastic student of art fit him for the. treatment of a subject which will be eagerly studied by all educated people when it shall be ready for exhibition. OUR EXPOSITION GALLERY . has. attracted considerable attention in New York, and is the theme of no little conversation in art circles. Of it the Herald says: Ever since the close of the epring exhibition at the National Academy of Desiz, and indeed av. ing the exhibition, Miss Rose Durfec has been busily pictures from our artists to send to the Chicago Exposition. Miss Durfee has had no little trouble in making the necessary ar- rangements and getting the pictures from the art- ints; but at last her trouble has been rewarded, and the pictures, of which there are sevoral hnn- dred, shipped. The Exposition will be opened on the 27th of this month, and contiue until the 13th of October. The most of our best known painters have contributed, some of them gending the pictures they exhibited at the Academy during the spring, others their Centennial pictures, and others again new ones that have never been exhibited at all Among the most important pictures are Page's portrait of Shakespeare, which, it is claimed, has never been acen to advantage in’ New York. having been hing too hizh when exhibited here. Mr. Page revarde thie picture as his masterpiece, and ag such it certainly deserves attention. His bust of Shakespeare, made from the death-mask, will also be exhibited. Whittredze sends his finest land- ubjects, Shirlaw's '*Sheep-Shearing in ‘arian Highlands,” a picture which made one of the excitements of the late exhibition: Ed- gar M. Ward's ‘* Wool Carders” and ** Brittany Washerwomen,” two of the most remarka- ble pictures in the Academy, have been sent Eastman Jolnson sends three small pictures, one of them his clever ‘* Prisoner of State.” Mr. Sarony contributes fifteen pictures from his private gallery, one of them Vaini's **Episode of the French War.” Anaimber of M. Inness’ beautiful landscapes have been sent from Loxton. George HL. Boughton contriates a picture from England; James Hart sends his ‘* Threatening Weather,” and William Hart sends one of his «mall pieces. ‘Thomas Moran sends one of his brilliznt Western pictures, and T. E.-Church is represented. W. H, eard sends ‘* Pus Puppies, a new picture, and James H. Beard also sends a new work. Bier- even old citizens lost their bearings. The let- ters of the rooms will appear on large cards suspended from the centre of the canopies, 60 that one need not be troubled in finding the number of the gallery. The Committee has’ decided upon another innovation in the sale of art catalogues, by dispensing with all peripatetic hawkers and ‘placing a table fora lady in the centre of Gallery A, and another in an inner room. At first, visitors may not readily find the catalogues, but there will be less noise and more comfort, and, as the paintmgs exhibited this year are for sale. the catalogue clerk will ‘be able to give information to ladies. concern- ing the values of paintings. The prices of the intinzs will not be published in the cata- Jogucs,as such a course only ministers to the idle curiosity of visitors, tempts the artists to place a fancy price upon their works, defeats the professed object of disseminating the knowledge of actual values, hinders acquaint- ance with prospective buyers, and is not agree- able to those who obtain paintings from the Ex- position collection. The Eastern artists, and especially the water colorists, are desirous of increasing their sales inthe West, and very many haye reduced their prices, in 3 marked degree, im_ order to encourage negotiations with ‘Western buyers, and hhence the strongest men have informed the Committee that their prices cannot be pub- lished, as the figures n would have a deleteri- ous eflect upod the ‘sales during the coming Winter at home. “the supply of rare curiosities for the bric-a- Yrac room, which is a new feature of theart- gallery. comes mainly from England, where Mr. ES. Waters was. very successful in making a collection. He has become tully enlightened voncerning the vexatious delays of the New York Custom-House, for his cases laid two ‘Weeks unnoticed in tne warehouse, because the appraiser was absent on a pleasure tour, and an order from Assistant Secretary of the Treasury French was necessary to remove the emburzo, ‘when every day is precious. A gentleman in Salein lent some oid furniture, which he bad Deen accumulating for years, and when the it Voice was sent over the Canada road, the author- ities on the Grand Trunk Railway detained the shipment until they were conviccd of the des- ination of such an odd collection. ‘The gallery hhas been fitted up with red cases, striped with blsck, and large plate-glass windows, to contain ‘the smaller and more valuable _ art. objects, and the walls will be decorated “with numerous epecial articles of reat interest aud value. THE PAINTINGS INTENDED for the exhibition have all arrived, excepting an invoice of twenty-tive from the collection of Dr. Wilson at Brussels, which are looked for early in the week, and the important portrait of Bis- marck by Healy, which will be of marked inter- est, bth forits subject and the peculiar circain- stances of its presentation to Mir. Washburne, by the Prussian authorities, in token of his Kindness to German residents in-France during the Franco-Prussian War. Though marked brogress hus been made in the hanging, yet the untinished condition renders it impracticable to make those groupings which would utherwise be very desiranle, and even individual paintings are now seen at a disudvantaze. Tie foreien artists are not as numcrously represented as in 1874 and 1876. though some of the water-colors lent by Lanthier and. py Schaus, of New York, and the important oil-paintings from Williams & Everett, Wwf Boston, have never been sur- pai by any other Collection iu tie West. American art has never appeared at as great advantace, mainly from the variety introduced y the works of men trained abroad: Beckwith having prepared a surprise for his frlends av the head of a Neapolitan child, EM. Ward exhibiting the painting which was well received in the Salon of Paris und the New York Academy of a Brit- tany washing place; Blackman supplying a good figure picce aud sn architectural painting; Shirlaw, Chase, aud Henry Koch illustrating the influence Gf the Munich ‘school. The Chicago artists are fairly represented, as can be noticed by observing that in the 125t exhibition of the Nationat Academy of Desien 342 painters con- tributed, of whom only ninety-cight are invited to the Chicazo Exposition, and some of these furnish water-colors alone. Chicago claims about forty recognized artiéts who are still resident in this city. and fittcen of these have supplied works which lave been accepted. Elkins sends a misty landscape poorly representing his powers. Spread indicates power in landscape, and: has given some study to an incident in Pompelian life. Green and Pickering have igure pieces without strength, but marking de- Yelopment in their profession.’ Miss Shaw has a gray picture of barren sands in the Bay of Fundy. Drury supplies a cvol beach scene on the borders of Lake Huron. Brooks has an overworked faney head in water colors. Jervis rings an Eeyptian story, and Mrs. Scott, Miss Hamson, and Mrs. Olvott. furnish water-color Hower pieces. The contributions of Chicago artiste.are sprinkled through the callerics, and the Art Committee has shown every disposi- Yon to treat their works with all the courtesy that the quality would permit; the Jocal representation would lave been muck Junger provided suitable pictures had been ready. ‘Among the contributions of the New York artists, one painting mav be accepted as the eul- amination of the painter's strength. It is the large painting of Shahspeore Reading, by Wilk, iam Page, cx-President of the National Acade- stadt sends two, one of them a targe canvas. Bel- Jows contribates water-colors and oil. J. G.

Granville Perkins eends rome of his zlowing water-culore. Miss Durfce has been fortunate in eecuring valuable contributions from private gal- leries, algo from the public galleries of Knoedler, Schaus, Lanthier. Sarony, and others. OTHER ART NOTES. Mrs. Butler, formerly Miss Elizabeth Thomp- son, has started for Adrianople, with the inten- tion of crossing the Balkaus to the seat of war, where sbe wili make studies for pictures. One of Rembrandt’s pictures, the “ Anatomy Lesson,” was sold in Amsterdam, in 1832, to an Englishman, for 630 florins. Ib would now bring at a gale $100,000 or $159,000. Noone knows who the Englistman was that bought it, nor what has become of it. Meissonier's painting of Alexander Dumas fils has Leen presented by the owner to the Louvre. Meissoniev has restored his picture of Napoleon LI. in the Luxembourg, which was in- jured by political vandalism last year, so that the injury canvot be detected. Mr. George H. Boughton has been busy with a picture for the Corcoran Gallery, Washington. It will iNustrate thy smoking episode in the his- tory of New York’s Dutch Goyernor, William the Testy.

It'is rarely that a Judge has had occasion to excoriate cither a plaintiff or a defendant a8 se- verely as Judge Van Brunt was provoked to do in dismissing the suit of the Countess Hein- rueth. This woman, showever, is simply only one of the clevcrest of her class, There are scores of others in New York who differ from her only in capacity for intrizue and fraud. I now have in mind 2 woman who,has been prey- jog upou every one she could reach during the past.tifteen years, She has been arrested and tried at least half a dozen times, put so cun- ningly were her frauds executed that it has been impossible for the law to get a hold of her, and she 1s still free to carry on her schemes of blackmail. A few years ago this woman, who is the mother of tbree grown-up daugnters, forced her into the house of aJudge, now dead, whose hter was about to marry a man whom the adveuturess claitned as her husband. The mur- riage was to take place next morning. The Wonin burst into a parlor where the Judge and his daughter, and the intended bridegroom aud some friends, were passing a social evening, and pouzceid upon her victim like a tigress. She was finally put out of doors, but not until she had said enough to effect a postponement of the Marriage. It took place sume days afterward, but the womun atill asserted her ciaim and took every means to annoy and torment the husband and wife. She followed them in the street, abusing them like a tishwife, and pointing out the man zo passers-by as a scoundrel and a bigamist, and her persecution became so\in- tolerable that the wile at last was afraid to. go out of doors. Fear of a public scandal prevented the Judge from having the adventures arrested. ‘The con- stant Wrong so wore upou him that he broke down, and two years alter the marriage he died, The repeated ailerations of the woman so preju- diced him against his son-in-law that he ex- cluded him altogether from his will. This led to ijurther trouble. The daughter, who had been carefally provided for, was prevailed upon by ber husband, to whom she still clung, to con- test her father’s will, and along litigation fol- lowed. While it was pending the contestant fell sick and died, but the fight over her father’s property is still going on, the husband continu- ing it a3 his wife's exevutor. Meanwhile, the woman whose claims, shouted at the street corners, were the original cause of all the teouble and scandal in the family, goes about boasting of what she has done, and seeking new opportunities to pluck the unsuspecting. She is over 50 years old. HOW SOME BRITISH GIRLS MARRY. London Letter. The richest heiress now on the engaged list is Miss Crawshay, the daughter of the Vulcan of of the Hills in South Wales. Her dowry is said to be £500,000, and she is,about to bestow this with her hand and heart upon a briefless barris- ter onthe South Wales circuit. I should be very happy to take her sister upon.the same terms, it I'felt inclined to marry—for money. These fronmasters’ daughters lave a very con- sidcrate way of selecting poor men for their hbusoands, for Sir George Elliott’s daughter married one of the special correspondents of the Daily News, and a few days ago the heiress of a Durham colliery proprietor bolted with the editor of north country newspaper. It is saia of one of tuesc ladies, perhaps it would be cruel to say which,—for the maneuver after all was innocent enouzh,—that meeting with a gentleman on board a steamer which Was engaged in laying a decjrsea cabie in the Atlantic, they very nat- uraily took to flirting on the quarter-deck. The Jady was all alone. except with papa. The gentleman made himself agreeable, and, being tall and handsome, of course soon’ ingratlated himself with the iron king’s daughter. One day, finding hunsetf alone, he proposed there and then. ‘ Mush!” said the lady, “papa is asleep on the sofa and might hear you. Let us take a stroll on deck.” “I am yery sorry,” said the lady, gesuming the conversation on deck, * but, Of course, you did not know when you were talking to ine below that I was envaged. But I have a sister at home who is exactly like me, you would not know us apart, and when we re- turn home 1 wilt mtroduce you to her.” ‘The introduction followed in due course, and the marriage within six months. The courtship all- took place by proxy. KID GLOVES IN UTAH. 5 salt Lake Herald. ‘There are.a couple of fashionable young ladies in this city who have only one pair of kid gloves between them. On the first night of Miss Eyt- inge's engagement at the theatre one of them, | wishing to make a hit onayouth whom she wanted to entice into the halter of matrimony, Rot swgy with both the gloves. leaving her sister -in a most heartrending predicament. Through- out the whole performance the defrauded oue was obliged to keep one hand in her pocket and tositon the other for fear the public would think that she bad no gloves, while her triumph- ant retative delicately placed one hand under her vhin-aud occupied the other to conspicuous advantage in obstructing the view of those who sat belind, And this reminds us. In some Eastern theatre, while sky-scraping bonnets were the rage, the ingenious manager placed on the entrance door the words: “The best look- ing ladies invariably take of their bonnets in the theatre,” and thereafter no lady member of the audience was ever detected with ner bonnet on Guring & performance. We snegest that the same course be pursued in regard to kid gloves, Many ladies whose hands are as large as their fans consider it necessary to exhibit their twelve- button kids by keeping them elevated for public admiration—a piece of fashionable nonsense which provokes nothing but ridicule and indig- nation from those who have back seats, and who Possess no kid gloves themselves, A TEST OF AFFECTION, Limerick (Ireland) Times, A certain young lady, possessing more than ordiuary accomplishments for her class of life,— being the daughter of poor but respectable par- ents,—on the death of a wealthy relative, re~ cently, became entitled to £3,000.

Matters ultimately came to a crisis, and, in order to test the affection of her devotees, the young Indy caused a report to be. circulated that the supposea fortune was in reality only 3 sham, the mistake having occurred through 8 similarity of name. The intelligence had the effect of causing the visits of the lovers to be- come less frequent, and tina!ly cease altozether. ‘The humble youtn rejoiced at the: change, and at once took the opportunity to console the mistress of his heart, who, to the surprise of all, rewarded his sincerity with her band, and made him sole master of the £3,000. HIRING AFFECTION. Nashua (N. I.) Telegraph. Recently a young man in this city. fell desper- ately in love with a young woman. The young woman was cold and reserved. She didn’t take to him. The young continued his pleading to Keep her company, and, asa last resort, gave her a gold ring of the value of $10 upon condi- tion that she “go with him one week,’ he being confident that she would find that he was a bona tide gentleman, and learn to love him. The woman accepted, and kept her pledge. At the end of the week she “did not like him.” He then gave a silk dress of the value of $35, she to try him a month, She accepted the situ- ation. During the month he gave her another ring: She tried very hard to love him, but did not succeed. She told him so, and returned to the embrace of her former lover. The giver was angry. He hurried to a lawyer's office, ex- plained his grief, and caused the young woman to be notified to call immediately. She called. The lawyer explained her crime, made some re- marks about the jail, and demanded the gold rings and silk dress, The young woman was frightened. She said she would sec her sister. The sister inquired about the matter of an ofli- cer, The statutes were scarched. A laugh was enjoyed, and the young woman was told to hold on to the property. She will stick. HOW A CONDUCLrOR GOT HIS FARE. Middletown Presa, Conductor James Tinney, on leaving Jersey City recentiy, found a passenger on his train, a woman with a baby in her arms, who refused to pay her fare. Not wishing to put her off the train between two stations, being too gallant a man for that. he allowed ler to ride to Pater- son. At that point the woman got off, and, in assisting her to alicht, Conductor Tinney got possession of the baby. He tucked the juvenile under his arm, and notified the woman that when she had paid her fare she could have the baby, and not before. The baby began kicking and squalling as Conductor Tinney started for the depot. The woman pursued him, povket- book in hand, and finally paid her fare, receiv- ing in return the baby. On opentug her pocket- book it was seen thut she had plenty of money, and her conduct, therefore, was inexcusable. The question naturally arises, What would Mr. Tinney have done if the mother had declined to pay, and walked off leaving the baby in his pos- session? ——a A DEADWOOD CHARACTER. St. Paul Pioneer's Deadwood Letter. A character which attracts the attention-of all strangers is “ Mme. Moustache,” a plump little French lady, perhaps 40 years of age, but splen- didly preserved. Shederives her name, which is the only one she is known by, froma dainty strip of black hair on her upper lip. She deals her own faro bank, and is quite popular with the boys, who treat her with marked respect. She has a bright black eye and a musical voice, and there is something attractive about her as she looks up with a little smile and says: “ You will play, W’sicur? Tis yust so fair for one as oder.” She is said to be very rich, and has fol- lowed her doubtful calling for more than fifteen years. No one knows her history, which would probably be very romantic if correctly written, ut for years she has been identified with the “profession,” always atone, always the same polite, smiling little woman, always making money. FASHIONS OF THE FIRST EMPIRE. New York World. ‘Wa are permitted to make the following ex- tract from a Pacis letter of July 31: “ How will you like yourself dressed in the style of the Empire, ala Josephine: Short skirts, sbort waists, large’ poke bonnets, and big bags on your arms? Do you think it will he becoming to our style of beauty? I trust that in assum- ing this Empire dress—if it is to be—we shall uot be entirely deprived of ovr influence, as the women of the Empire were, for it is a matter of history that the women of the Empire were as remarkable for their depuration of intluence as were the women of the Revolution for its enjoy- ment and exercise.

Austin (Ner.) Reveite, In the Zeveille reporter's wanderings about town last nicht he heard a lady, talking acrosa the street to a neichbor, thus deliver herself on the subject of scandal: ‘ Of all things I do hate in this world it’s a scandalizing woman. Now, there’s Mrs. Jingletoygue, that everybody knows isn’t a bit better than’ she ought to be, and whose two daughters cut up so shameful that no decent womau ought to speuk to them, and whose husband gets drunk, ane they do say he owes for that srenadine she puts on so many airs in over her betters. If I was to say any mean things about people likeshe does, I would pull my tongue out by the roots, the nasty, scandalizing, stuck-up old cat.?” WIDOWS IN INDIA. Alten's Indian Sait, Jaipur still keeps ahead of other native States. According to the Ajmir paper the Maharajah of Jaipur has determined upon eradicating from nis State the odious custom by which Hindvo widows are prohibited from remarrying. ‘fo carry out this laudable purpose, his “Hithness has appointed a council, consisting of four Pun- dits and one European, who are well yersed in Sanskrit. It will be the duty of these gentle- men to explain to tho peopie that the remarry- ing of their widows is nowhere prohibited by the Shastars, and that such marriages will be Recognized by the Stateas lawful and commend- able. WOMEN VOTING IN UTAH. Salt Lake Tribune, Aug. 5, ‘The Liberal ladies of Utah will remember that they are called upon to bestir themselves to- morrow cqually with their Mormon sister, who support this blighting theocracy with servile and unintelligent votes. ‘They must not let domestic cares keep them away from the polls. Carriages will be sent to every precinct, and a few minutes’ service is no great oblation to make to the cause of progress and reform. The Mormorm sisters are drilled into yoting as the Bishop directs them (obey counsel and ask no questions). .

Osicego (N. ¥-) Palladium, Miss Bebee and Miss Vandyke went swimming n Vandercamp Pond, Town of Constantia, the other day, attired in the thinnest of fabrics. A young lad whom they knew came along with a boat, and they induced him to take them in. He put out into the pond, and the girls thinx- ing it funny to rock the boat, went at it and ti pedher over. They sank twice before help reached them, and then alJ the clothes were torn off from one of the young women in the effort to save her. She went down again, and positive- ly refused tobe saved till they could cet some- thing to put around her, which was finally ac- complished, and she was hauicd out. A GYPSY QUEEN.. Neenan (Wis) Thnes. ‘The gypsies who have Jately left Madison have encamped out near this city. They have some rough-iooking men, but most beautiful-looking women. The Chief has a daughter of 19 years, who fs of surprising loveliness, a queen among ucens, said to be the most beautitul woman in the country, combining healthfujy Anglo-Saxon blood and Italy's warm nature. e Chief, it is said, has tired of his nomadic mauner of living, and will give the hand of his dauchter and a dowry of $20,000 to any young man with proper credentials as to morality and standing in social life who will mary this beautiful queen. a FEMININE NOTES. 2 ASpanish proverb says: “The man who on his wedding-day starts as a lieutenant in the family will never get promoted.” iS If yougo onan excursion and the seats arc all taken, stand up as Jong as you cap and then cry out, ‘Man overboard!

HYDE PARK. HYDE PARK TAX-EATING. To the Editor of The Tribune. Hypez Park, Aug. 18.—My ‘residence being in the centre of Hyde Park, just at this period, I am in danger of two disadvantages. With the Forty-first street sewer on the right flank, the South Chicago territorial pumps, tast and deep, on the lett flank, the celebrated Holly Water- Works (on another man’s ground) in the rear, and the Union Stock-Yards in front, I stand some risk of annihilation. In fact,it is becoming patent every day that I cannot go on and meet the demands of business and just debts if I pay all the taxes imposed, and in view of an- other attempted imposition expected from the Ring—perbaps paralellogram, to be more expressive. My attention has been attracted within a few days by the old saying that “two of atrade can never agree.” I suppose tivo lawyers would be two of a trade where the third party is composed of a ming controlling the votes of the Village Trustces. In this case only one lawyer appears,to be in this infamous pumping job. The village lawyer has given a very elaborate opinion, showing much hard brain-work in the result of his effort. He Glentty expresses the opinion that the power vested in Viliage Trustees to makeimprovements consists in making roads, opening drains, and building sewers, and that he cannot find any authority for building a levee on Calumet River, and erecting pumping-works to throw-all the water in Hyde Park (and the Town of Lake minse always be included) over into Lake Mich- Sand here Iet me warn the people of Chicaco of their danger—they are our neignbors and we are inclined to be kind to our neighbors. They are liable to become inundated when this infer- nal sucker is set at_ work, and they: will then find there is something in Hyde Park besides wind. Let them hic themselves to their Con- gressmen to hurry forward the completion of the Government breakwater so 1s to surround the city. Also, pray have it built higher, for Lake Michigan will slop over with a force worse than. any tidal wave yet invented. Now, let us in- quire more about the two lawyers. We, that is they, who met at the Sherman House a few days since heard the opinion of the Village At- torncy read. The common sense it contained ought to have been sufficient to have secured a negative vote from the Village Trustees at once and thereby avoided the occasion of a public meeting. Public meetings of citizens are now necessary to the existence of the people. A Citizens’ As- sociation ought to be started at once, composed of good honest men, rich and pooralike, keeping out all the isms of religion, politics, and nation: ality, and consider our life. Unless something of the kind is done in these days of strikes and steals, vigilance committees will have to come inand do upthe work from sheer necessity. Now the Sonth Chicago suckers have an opinion from “the other feller? A party by the name of Thompson—“Thompson with ap init. le has given an opinion “az is an opinion” that the Trustees have power to gv on with the work, which settles the matter in the minds of those interested. So it was a Thompson with a “+p who once advised the Trustees of Hyde Park in relation to the Water-Works,—the land on which they were erected happening to be in the grip of Gov. Dix, and remaining so ever to this day. But no person has yet been found who dare as- sert that the whole scheme of laying water-pipe in front of vacant- property which will not be improved for twenty years was not a wise move. No one complains, for the water of Lake Michigan is zaod—wheu taken from the right place. A crib outa couple of miles will be about the right thing for the Trustees. There is, however, a disadvantage which will come up: there are no voters out there in the lake, and would-be Congressmen would have no show witn whitefish. Under all the circumstances, South Chicago ought not to expect ai} the good things of this life and have somebody else pay for them. Some more pumps are needed at the Water- Works, and it is gently hinted they have already become a necessity, even now. In fact, the present system hss been found to be inferior to the Worthington system, which was offered at first for less money than the Holly system, but there was rather more “come down” in the Holly pumps, and, as no more can be made from them, perhaps we need not despair of the ossession cf a Village pump mnanalistOry Fer ‘as it ever occurred to the taxpayers of Hyde Park that more water is consumed by the cattle, hogs, sheep, and houses of the Stock-Yards than by all theinhabitants of the Town of Hyde Park?’ The Michigan Southern, the Chicazo & Roek Island, andthe Piveabny Fort Wayne Rafircads, also the American Bridge Company are large consure.c:3; also innumerable factories and stink works, There are over 900 water- taps_in usc in the Town of Lake, while in. Hyde Park the number {is about 700. The Town of Lake isall right,—they are will- ing to pay half the expense, and some propor- tion of the people of Hyde Park are generous to afault! See the liberality of her Trustees— when any money is to be voted away. And when the poor man signs a petition praying for acessation of this exhausting business, the leading element of the Board (‘didn't sce the signatures of any poor men.” Now if the people do not want this South Chicago shark to swallow them whole, the first thing to be done is to have their objections drawn up, aad be sure to file the same before 10 o'clock on the third day of the next term of the County Court (Judge Wallace), The next thing is to file injunctions azainst this infamous project. Another thing would be of advantage, —call a public meeting, and have this thing dis- cussed by the people, and then, when the peo- pie are sure they are right, zo ahead. Snor rv THe Ers. THE PUMPING WORKS. To the Editor of The Tribune. Tue Lowianps (Hyde Park), Aug. 18.—Peo- ple in this country are lead to believe, from the united testimony of those who claim to know, that one of the grcat evils or inconveniences to tenants in Great Britain is the almost constant absence of the proprietors of the soil, who only make visits to their estates to replenish a de- pleted, purse, leaving the sole conduct of affairs to irresponsible agents, who prac- tice various acts of tyranny upon those under them, either throuzh cupidity or pure cussedncss. Here the evils or incon- veniences arise from: there belng so many non- resident owners of the soil, who know hardly anything of the wants of the locality, and care Jess, and only appearon the surface when the realdent owners have perfected plans, involying and mutual bencfit of all alike, and then only toraise objections, demand explanations, aud resort to all the known methods and tricks to cause delays, in which devices they are generally experts. If these fail, a ‘resort to the courts” is tneir favorite und final splurge. a The last sentence in the above. paragraph is about a fair statement of the case as it exists between the resident and non-resident owners of the soil in the southern portion of the Town of Hyde Park. Much of the land is low and subject to overflows, but many people have been induced, in dry seasons and through va- rious shades of misrepresentation, to invest. Many valuable industries are in successful op- eration, and more would follow but for fear of the foods. In the manufacturing centre of the town (Grand Crossing) over 300 artisans engaged in the different manufactories are oblig- ed to reside elsewhere, because there are not houses for them to live ip, and these are not Stecied not through want of means, but for fear of losing the building material while in course of erection, or the destruction of -the buildings when up, by this cause. The same difficulties exist in other places. y 3 To overcome this check upon their prosperity, the residents of the south part of the town have expended much time (nearly two years) and money in perfecting a scheme whereby when the floods come relief will -be speedy and sure. They have consulted allof the town engineers. except one (he having a personal reason for an adverse opinion) and called in as counsel twe of the best engineers of Chicago, who have pro- nouaced the pumping works decided on as feasi- ble. The cost of erecting and ruoning them has received the closest attention, and the result is that the expense will be very small to cach lot, block, and acre benefited, The assessment has now been made, which ponderous event has waked up the non-resi- dents, who have held several meetings in the city to protest, with the Hon. John Wentworth, who owns at least one eighty-acre tract inthe town, as President and general interrogater. It ig not necessary to inquire how the Hon. John became possessed of this tract; but he acquired it, the Jaw says he acquired it, and that is enough. Over forty years agothe Honorable Chairman shouldered his knapsack and bade farewell to the barren and unproductive rocky nis of New Hampshire and came West, cast- ing his lot in Chicago, where he has acquired great wealth easily: yet he is known a8 a ferocious tax-Aghter, while for years he was a chronic-tax-eater. He does not fquarel and open! oppose this assessment, but his “buts” and “ifs,” and his severe manner in putting questions to theadvocatesof the measure, freeze the enthusiasm out of the subject. It is “Long Johnish.”” There are in this matter some things that a fellow can hardly find out, and the reason for the opposition to this improvement is one of them. At the geographical centre of the town, where are located many important manufacto- rics, the facilities for transportation making it s desirable point for such purposes, there ore passing through it four trunk line railroads, znd tivo others within hailing distance. It only re- quires the machinery to keep the place dry, 80 that building and locomotion are possibleat all seasons, and the population willbe doubled Yearly for halfa dozen years. And yet, with these incontestable facts “betore them, the trio of large lancholders there, who would be the most benetited by such a change, sre the hardest kickers: when an assessment for an improvement jis to be paid for They will pat you on the back, and say go ahead, but when pay-day approaches. they show their teeth; they want all the improvements, but ob- ject to pay tor them. Is this incensistency a trait peculiar to the land-grabbing ‘ribe, or is it dishonesty? The people down in these Jowlands have in- vested ticir all for a home; thcy are honest and industrious; many of stem have been cheated in coming here, but tbey are here and do not propose, to“ take the advice of the honorable non-residests, who glibly tell them taat they are not obliged to live here. That is a fact; they are not obliged to stay; but ther have paid their money to the swamp-land peddlers, and don’t propose to sell out forasong, and so sive the swindlers a chance to cheat some one else. The real-estate piratioal gentry get desperate sometimes, and.raise money by mortgaging eli- gible lots, and then sell them without the mort- gage being satistied. Acase of this kind oc- curred here not long ago, where mortgaged property was sold under circumstances which would have landed the shrewd operator in the county jail if he hed not promptly straightened up the matter. He mistook the temper of the party. And he is a_ big gun, and flouristes at the capital of the Duchy aud in business circles in thecity. The unfortu- nate people of this region have borne every- thing patiently; have paid their share in cre- ating fancy parks, which can hardly ever bencfit them; have been assessed indirectly for expen- sive water-vorks, which they do not and cannat enjoy for scars, because of their isolated condi- tion; have borne their proportion in keeping well-filled that mysterious institution known as the gemral fund, which repairs sidewalks, lights #trect-lamps, etc.,—luxaries“ which they are not burdened with; and now they demand sometiing in return, and expect to getit, despite the great flourish of the non-residents and those operating behind them.. A BurenER. BOARD OF EDUCATION. The Board of Education of District No. 1 met si the Village-Hali Friday evening. Charles Hitchcock, J. N. Barker, John Jami- son, J. Young Scammon, and sixty others, asked that drawing be taken up asa study in the schools, and that Mr. Holmes, the former teacher, be given his old position. Mr. Calhoun stated that he had placed insur- ance on the Comell School Building for 36,000, and on the furniture for $700, for three years, for the sun of $1.60 per $1,000 for the term. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Hibbard, Calhoun, and Bennett, were appointed to look to the placing of the teachers, as quite a num- ber of changes are to be made. The Board then adjourned.

Ewser, ————— A New English Iron-Clad, London News, Aug. 1. One of if not the most powerful iron-clad in the world, at present ready for service, will be commissioned at Chatham to-day by Capt. M. Culme Seymour. Her powers of offense and de- fense are Very-freat, and no ship that has be- fore been added to our magnificent fleet of iron- clads has attained with ‘suck excellence arrange- ments for fichting and resisting the enemy. She carries cight heavy guns, four of which are twen- ty-five-ton cuns, and four are cizateen-ton guns, tivo of the former, one at the bow and one at the stern; they are pla in barbette towers, are worked by hydraulic machinery; they have an all-round fire; the remaining two are placed one on either broadside, and fire nearly ahead. ‘The four cizhteen-ton guns are placed two on either broadside. Arrangements are made for firing the * Whitehead ” torpedo on cither side ot the ship. This ship is also supplied with out- rigger torpedoes, which will be used from steam pinnaces. Gatling guns are provided, and can be used in action from the tops if nec- essery, or from boats, and they can algo be used as field service guns. The thickness of her ar- mor plating is eleven inches, and she is fitted. below water with a most powerful spur or ram. The trials ot her engines have been inosi satis- factory, and at the trial trip, with all her weights on board, she attained a speed of nearly fifteen kuotsan hour. Aer complement is 530 officers and men. Part only of these will join to-day, and will be quartered on board the Forte, wood- en frigate, for about ten days, while the finish- ing work is being done to the Temeraire; the remainder of the crew will join about the 16th August. The Temeraire, although brig-rigg is very heavily rigged; her mainyard is no less than 113 fect long, and _‘reizhs ‘nearly ten tons. ‘This ship is splendid addition to our fleet. She will probably leave England, calling at Portemouth and Plymouth, about the first week in September: gece niet SOOO Te ST—A LARGE ROAN HORSP.
