ART NOTES. A BETTER PROSPECT FOR THE LIMNERS. There are sizns of an approaching revival in art matters after a hihernation of many weary months. The rooms of the Academy of Desiga have been putin compiete order, and the costume class is workinz daily upon stadies of a model in the dress Normandy peasant girl. In the improved con- dition of the reoms and the artistic display of castsand productions of the pupils, the school presents a picture in ftself thatis worthy the at- tention of all art-losers. The Academy has lately reccived from England many desirable accessions in the shape of **flats ™ and excellent casts of the antique. For the first time In_many months the school_will be in complete working order this week, both for day and evening classes, The new admunistration, with President James L.

THE GRAIN TRADE. A GRATIFYING GAIN. Some months ago the St. Louis papers fairly howled with delight over the orgunization of a barge line—said barge line bemg composed of a flotilla of old flat boats—wlich its backers swore should revolutionize the grain trade of the Northwest. No longer should Chicago rule e mis- tress of the cereal busine: St. Louis would gob- ble it all, and, withthe aid of (ne barges, tue mhuis_lipgi. and Eads' jettics, build up a trade that, in the ** sweet by and by,” would rival the most_transcenden: efforts of Carthage and Tyre. The scheme was putinto practical operation. A fess cargoes of corn were floated down the niver, transferred to steamers ar New Orleans, and then shipped via the Gulf Stream to Liverpool. where the grain arrived in zood time, but in a horrible condi- tion. ‘The experiment stmply demonstrated what bud been proved over and over again, that the gulf routo cannot be relied upon us & rafe one over which to_transfer Northern breadstuffs 1n any shape.

BAR ASSOCIATION. MISCELLANEOUS MATTEX The Bar Association held its regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon, Mr. Wirt Dexter in the chair. There was somo considerable talk about canceling the lease of the present quarters, ‘but the matter was finally referred to the Board of Managers without Instructions. The Committee on Admissions reported the names of Henry B. Mason and Henry V. Freeman. Action on_the propositions was deferred for one month, under the rules, On motion of Mr. Jewett, the Chawrman of the Judiciary Committee, the Treasurer was instructed 10 pay the Associntion's personal property tax for 18%7 amounting to $119.51. _ Gen. Stiles moved that, when the Association ad- journ, it do 60 to meet next Ssturday afternoon to ‘hear the report of the Committec on Inquiry in re- gard to the Bunkrupt law. _The motion prevailed. Mesars. Georze C. Fry. John J. McClellan, At- nola Tripp, Christian” C. Kohlsaat, Leander Jo Condee, J. K. Boyescn, M. W. Kobineon, and James Goggin wers clected members of the Asso- ciation. Mr. Ben Ayer moved to refer Judge David Davia" bill before Congress for the cstablishment of an intermediato. court between the Supreme Court and the United States Circuit Courts to the Judiciars Committec to report upon acan early ay. On motion of Mr. E. B. Sherman, the same Com- mittee was instracted to cxamine into and present areport upon the bill pending in Congress inre- gard 1o repealing recent acws conferring extraordi- Rary jurisdiction upon the United States Courts. Mro M. F. Tuley called up_and moved the 2dop- tion of his resolution requesting Judge Jameson 1o require a certain lawyer to produce his licensc from the Supreme Court, and, in default of his producing eaid_license, to_refuse to permit this person to practice before any court over which he might preside. Mr. Tuley thought the Associution oyed it to itself to pass the resolution, this perzon being unfit to practice, and not having any license, although he was still practicing. Messrs. High and John Lyle King called atien- tion to the fact that this person's application for a liconse was stillp ding before the Supreme Court, and the latter insisted that the Bar Associati shonld not evince any more feeling against bim, at least not unuil the Supreme Court had passed on his application. Even the Judges considered it an inopporture time to take any aciion in the matter as long as the anplication was pending. 3r. King remarked that be had heard considerable said about an apparent disposition on the part of the Lar 2 sociation to persccate this wan, and an equally apparent disposition to let other lawyers, provably D0 better than they ought to e, go scot frev. Col. Cooper replied that all complaints ugainst members of the profession had been carefully in- vestigated, and if Mr. King knew of any who were 1o better’ than they ought to e, or a great deal warse, he ougnt to report them. This person had confessed the truth of the charge against him of ohtaining money from clients iu such 4 way as to bring disgrace upon the profession. And yet the Investigating Comuittee of the EBar Association, after he had made this confession, found tnat he s doing the very same unprofessional thing right slong. As the question was about to be put on Jr. Tu- ley's resolution, Mr. King inquired if there was a quorum present. He wasunswered in the aflirma- tive. ‘The resolution was then adopted, Mr. King being the only person_out of the twenty members present who voted against it. The Association then adjourned.

Friday evening what might have proved a big hanl to the wamblers was cleverly frustested by Ofticer Casey and Capt. Simon O'Donnell. Two well known spurting men, who shull be nameless, inusmuch as it 18 not clear that they did anything on the road, were found in tow with a **sucker” from Sun Francisco. Oue of them had cashed 2 pold draft for 1,920, und were laying _meshes to entrap the “*sucker,” but he was a little oo shy. inally as he was departing, they ineisted on his remain- ing, claiming to have no assurance that the draft it genuine. A this juncture Officer Cavey came upon ihe trio on Randolph etrect neara well-known faro-bank. Capt. O'Donuell, upon hearing of the affarr, 100k charge of buth’ the money dnd the draft, holding them in trust for the pariies. Y terday they were returned, and the **sucker went on his way rejoicing. not knowing what a great mark he will be for gamblers and such like folks, now that be has flasned so large a roll of wenlth.

Detectives Lansing and Londerman, of the West Madison Streot Station, did 3 picce of clever work fast evening in capturing Kate Woolff, 2 well- known Milwankee shop-lifter, who was about de- parting on the Milwaukee & St Panl Koad with a Prunk full of stolen property. It apuears that Kate is, par excellence, the best shop-lifter in the country, and s in the habit of **doing™ all the laro cities in the Union. In appesrance she is tail and rather slimly built, with a decided Ger- man look, and invariably dresses in a large and heary cloak. 1r her trunk were found forf¥- Eve yards of plain dress goods, one shawl, sixtcen yacds of biack dizgonal cloth, three yards of black Striped cloth, & red and white checked table- spread, five white linen table-spreads, thirty- seven yards of dark cassimere, one dzen lincu tawels, one dozen linen napkine, oue dozeu hand- Kerchiefs, onc and 2 balf yards of black satin, forty-elglit and three-fourths yards of ingham, forty yards of lincn crash, 100 yards of brown silk. and « lot of odds aud ends in the notion line. All of the above goods have been ehop-lifted in this city, and Ownersare wanted at the \West Mad- e Lansing got track of the woman last Jannary when ske visited this ity aud sent home a trunk foll of plunder. The trank was found at the depot, but Kate went onto New York. where £he made a eaccessful _haul, and then went on to St. Louis, where she did likewise. She had been here about tendays only, and some idea of her capacity for work in her own peculiar style can be gained by glancinzat_tne amount of goods fonnd in her possession. She i3 a very reticent prizvaer, talking only when she is compelled to, snd then only 1Q claim that she bought "all the goods and paid for them. ————— TELEGRAPHIC NOTES.
