LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. National Convantiox oF ARTisTs.—A pre- liminary meeting of this convention took on Saturday afternoon last, at the Smithsonian Institution. On motion of Dr. H. Stone, a tem- porary organiz+tion was effected by calling J. R. Lambdin, of Philadelphia, to the chair, and ap- pointing T. B. Thorpe, of New York, secretary. Dr. Stone, being called to the floor to state the object of the convention, addressed the meeting as follows: -* It is the duty of national authorities to bring into exercise every latent force, whether material or intellectual, that is possessed, and that may aid in the accomplishment of the ends of ggvern- ment. It is the duty of every good citiel too, to hold himself in readiness, and even to volun- tarily proffer that which he may have to contrib- ule towards strenzthening, developing and real- izing the principles and purposes of the govern- ment. It is the duty and aim of both the people and government—in any and every country—to remove as far ax possible every impediment to a free and harmonious co-operation, and to pro- Mote every tendency there. Whatever may be the specine duties of individuals or institutions, there cannot be thereby achieved results at ali adequate to their relations with the common- Wealth of which they form a part “If there is any class of citizens of this nation whose efforts should be, more than any other, made in harmony with the best spirit and fave pose of the national life, it is the one whose duty and privilege it ix to embody, in the various forms of art, all that is therein worthy to be illus- trated and preserved. “Every other interest has been promoted conventional advantages. Moved by patriotic impulsex, representatives of every other element of the moral progress, bave nationalized their or- ganizations, and bronght them into relations With the legislative and executive agents of the bedy politic, securing thereby manifold advant- ages. Art comes forth at last to participate in the festival of the nation’s triumph—to crown with immortal wreaths the brows of her victors in war and in peace. She could not permit her vo- taries to come alone, but would provide for a just distribution of these patriotic privileges —heace, the inauguration of this conventional union, which we shall hope will be crowaed with suc- cess and be annually repeated. ** We have had the heroic age cf the nation, which at once established its indepevdent life and power, and brought forth for onr reverence and imitation the noble representatives of every patriotic virtue. The age of peace with its at- tendant achievements, has succeeded, and we bave now entered upon the third and proudest age of national life, the age of commemoration We congratulate our countrymen on itr early in- auguration “Every citizen of whatever vocation or profes- sion, bas his duties to perform, aud th-rein every other class than our own is prepared to perform them in the best manner, by combination of ef- fort. In like manner would we enter on our sabors. which are to commemorate the past. illus. te te the present, and illuminate the track to a ons fatare skiug, most earnestly. the blessings of the Giver of all Good. and the guidance of that hand which is needful for the attainment of eve- ood, let us now come into the order of ac- The names of the following delegates were then read : Washington City—Johna Cranch, John M.

Heine, were appointed a committee to select ollicers for the permanent organization of the conver n, and after a few minutes abseuce they submitted the following list, which was unanimously approved : Presideut—Rembrandt Peale. Vice Presidents—J._R_ Lambdin and H K_ Brown. Treasurer—J. M. Stanley. Seeretary—W D Washington On motion of W_H. Rhinehart, a committee, consisting of H. K. Brown, John Sa:tain, W A. Rhinehart, Dr. H.Stone and Peter Bat ers, was appointed to prepare business for the con- vention No other business of interest was transacted, and the meeting adjourned until 7 o’clock p.m EVENING SESSION. In the evening, pursuant to public notice, the convention again assembled in the lecture room of the Lastitute to listen to a lecture by the ven- ble Rembrandt Peale, Esq., of Philadelphia, on ** Washington and his Portraits”? The pub- fie having been invited, a targe audience was in attendance. Mr. Peale was introduced by Dr. A. Stone, and commenced his discourse with the remarks the celebrated traveler, Chateaubriand, bad t jent interview with Gen. Washington, and regretted his want of opportunity to form bis acquaintance. He subsequently said: ‘Happily i bad him to look at me for a moment, and that look f ean never forget. I have constantly felt its warm ard beniga influence ever since.” There is usually something in the look of a great man, Mr. Peale, continued, which excites in as f awe and veneration. But the look of ncaused a deeper feeling than this. We felt drawn towads him with an impulse of *itection, and 4 wish to become better acquaint- ed All the monumen’s and columns that can be reared to bis memory would be incapable of con- vrying tous an adequate idea of him, had the appearance of his features been lost, even if those fratures had possessed no striking peculiarity ; but far more so when we know that his counten- ance Was a most remarkable one Mr. P. spoke of the effect which the Portrait of @ great man sometimes produces on the mind of the observer, and recalled the remark of Henry Clay, that if it was in his power, he would not valy bave every room in the public buildings in this city decorated with a portrait of W asbiagton, but would have a copy of it in every house in the country. In this connection, he aiso made allu- sion to the anxiety of the English, after the fame of Shakspeare was established, to obtain an au- thentic picture of him. They were, however. unsuceessful in finding a likeness the accuracy of which was indisputable. As the British were thus eager about Shakspeare’s portrait, ouly be- rause he had established the literary fame of bis native country, bow mach more should Ameri ‘ans want au accurate picture of Washington, who established and preserved their very nation iteelf? The leotarer next described the personal ap- pearance of the ‘Father of his Country”? His height was six feet and one inch.and be was firmly bmilt, with well-developed muscles, aud slight- ly tended to corpulency. Hix head was uot of unusual size,and bis fratures were prominent ‘The eyes were biue, and ratber sunken, and had a peculiar expression Hix mouth was small, and complexion florid. Although not logurcious he was sociable, and when indalging in laugh. ter the peculiar wrinkles at the corners of the eye, called ‘‘crow’s-foot,”? were plainly notiera- bie. He had lost his teeth tn early life, and when Mr. P knew bim, wore false teeth. After com- pleting this personal description, the lecturer next related his boyish impressions respecting this wan. It was a remarkable neidence is own birth-day fil on the we day of the vear with that of Waxhiagton, and to this he attributed a share of Lis early enthusiastic re- xard. He was very anxious to see him, and fre- quently watehed for bim on the streets of Phila- phia_ Finatly, he said, he saw him one review day on horseback. ‘The’ atmosphere was hazy, and, young as he was, he was struck with the pecultar eff-et of this on Washington's eyes. To this he attributes the excellence of one of the Portraits he afte. wards painted He next: pooweeded to intery of the va- riows portrait<of Wasiinuts The fest noticed were those taken by the lecturer's father. Alt these Me P. regarded slightly inaer Wes too mach shar Fr Wasbington was induced to set to hom The elder Mr. Peale ai him at that time, elongsid turer these portraits, he said. w int curate upper part of the face of one aud the of the other being. however, entirely s; to both the leetarer and his father, ar Subsequently, the leetares combined the t prodaced what was then stid to be the most cor- feet Likeness of Wasbiagton ever taken He alluded to « picture painted by Stuart at the same time, but itx representation ef the mouth Wat not good, ow! to the fact that Washington wore a new set of teeth while sitting for it, wuich aud not fit him well. S:uart subsequently paint- ed another, and much superior pictare. The ap- prasance of this was too youthful and the expres- "ou inadequate to convey a correct idea of the original Canova’s pictnres were also noticed briefly, as weil as several which it is falsely pretended were taaen from life The lecturer came next to Houdon’s bust. This was from a cast executed at Mount Vernon by M_ Houdon, and probably the most correct rey resentation of Washington ever made ‘The sta- tue afterwads made from jt in Paris was. how- ever, defective, ax the artist had given the chia an unnatural eleva! detracting greatly from i it Ww lave a theatrieat as- r to be feyretted when it +s remembered that the Gywe is placed in aneie- vated position, and therrfure the face is turned upwa.d from the spectator, and the fo ehead is made to have a receding appearance. Mr P de- ned that Houdon took a cast from the body of Washington entire, and said his Sgure was made , Jno. Cranch, = P from teerom drawing and measurements after his re- Paris. The lecturer { juced several episodes rela- tive to Washi cea raits after his death. He also Mrs. Wasbington, with whom personally acquainted; and, in conclusion, he cited several letters establishing the authenticity of bis portraits, and pronouncing in favor of their merits. He illustrated his lecture with five different [ey of Washington, one of Mrs. Martha \Vashington, and a colossal representation of Hondon’s bust of Washington, with the defect alluded to above corrected. On Tuesday evening next, Dr. Bellows, of New York, will deliver an address before the Conven tion, in the same place. ELEction oF OrFicers.—At the annual meet. ing of the Catholic Beneficial Total Abstinence Society, held on Sunday evening at the Society’s hall on F sireet, the following gentlemen were unanimouly re-elected for the e suing year: Rev. T. J. O° Toole, President; H.C McLaugh- lin, ist Vice President; Dr. Jos. Walsh, 24 Viee President; George Savage, Treasurer. The elec- — of Secretary was postponed to the next meet- ing. Votes of thanks were, on motion of Jeremiah McCarthy, per hicrateg? Fassed to the officers of the Society for their faithful services, during the past year; to Mrs. R Draine. forthe presentation of a beautiful flag; to the Hibernia Club and the Montgomery Guards—the former for the use of their flag, and the latter of their banner, on the — of the late anniversary celebration of the society. This Society has been in existence only one year, and already numbers nearly five hundred memberx—seventeen new members having been admitted at the meeting on Sunday evening. Recrvitine anv Ficntine.—There was some “ reeruiting for Utah’’—so said a witness—going on at Flint’s Hotel on Saturday night, and while the drummer was inviting volunteers by the tempting prospect of a campaign among the Saints, a young man named Chas. Conboye, wto was lookiny on, got pugilistie and pitched into Mr.N.H_ Topping, who, not wishing to hurt the intoxicated man, endeavored to evade him, but was finally compelled, in self-defence, to throw him upon the pavement and hold him there The parties were arrested by Watchmen Ward and Norris, and taken to the gnard-house. Conboye was very bleody, and somewhat cut and bruised. Justice Donn thought the punish- ment sufficient, and held him to security for peace. Mr. Topping was dismissed. ARLINGTON SpRincs. — A company of young gentlemen of this city have leased the shore and spring at Arlington—the Castis estate—for many — the principal summer resort of our young riends in all sections of the District. and intend fitting it up in a manner to accommodate all who desire hereafter to escape the heat and dust of the city during the hot days of the summer months. The pavilion will be rebuilt, and a clear tloor of seventy feet secured for those who enjoy the co- titlon and “ hop;” the wharf will be refitted, and regulations will be provided to prevent any clash- ing ef parties, and forthe preservation of good order. Tar Wasuixcton Turatre.— The English comedian, Charles Mathews, is followed by the Irish comedian, John Bronzham, both first-class representatives of their respective nationalities. ‘To-night, Mr. Brougham opens as “Mr. Gerald Fitzmaurice’? in the comedy (original) “A Gen- mm: rom Jreland,’? and as the rollicking ‘aptain Murphy e’? in Barnett’s comedy of “The Serious Family.” iD Look out for Brougham’s Burlesque of “Po-ca-hon-tas,’’ one of the richest things ever a upon the stage, and which is now in rehear- sal. THIs EVENING, it will be seen, Miss Lizzie Petit will give Shakspearean readings at Phil- harmo: Hall. A specimen reading of hers, given lately before a circle of friends in the drawing room of the National Hotel. is said to have been exceedingly successful. She har the advantaze of a countenance of great beauty and in- tellectual expression, and a voice of that softness mentioned by the author she illustrates as “an excellent thing in woman.” Fire.—Saturday night, a stable near Wendell’s printing office in the Fourth Ward was fired and burned. Two hogs were burned, but a horse in the stable was removed before it was fired. It was the property of F. O'Callaghan. A strong wind atthe time, cgrried the burning coals to three frame dwellings whieh tock fire and were destroyed. These belonged to Patrick Topping and_were insured by a Philadelphia company for ; Hon. S. 8. Cox, of Ohio, will lecture before the Metropolitan Literary Associatien and the public at the Smithsonian Institution to-morrow night. His subject is “Irish Humor’? to which he can do rich justice, as those who heard his lecture upon “‘American Humor” will be apt to believe. Tue ALEXANDRIA Express. — Osborne's ex- press wagon, which runs daily between Wash- ington City and Alexandria, calling anywhere in either city, also delivering anywhere in either city, proves a greatconvenience. The proprietor keeps a state at the Star office for orders, and at- tends promptly and faithfolly to them. ATTEMPT AT BeRGuary.—Saturday night, an uasnecessful attempt was made to enter the dwelling of Mr. J. Heenicutt. on C hetween 3d and 4} streets. Mr. Il. had drawn several bun- dred dollars from bank, and the robbers were, no doubt, aware of the fact. Ixcenvtany ATTEMPT.—Last night three men were seen in the act of applying matches to the carpenter and paint shops of Messrs. Williams and Riggs on 17th street west. They were pur- sued, but succeeded in making their escape. Reckvits-—Saturday a detachment of twenty Tecruits left the station, in this city, in charge of a sergeant, and departed in the cars for fort Mc- Henry at 4 o'clock, p.m. Rea Estate—J.C McGuire, auctioneer, sold on Saturday lots 17 and I+, in square 539, fer 5a5 ¥ cts. per foot ; lots 27 and 28 for 44a1% cts ; lots 6 and 7 for 3.443% cts.

Corveepondence of The Star. Groneztown, March 22, 1888. Doubtless every friend of morality,whose busi- ness brings him efther directly or indirectly in connection with the operations of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, will be pleased to learn that the retiring board of directors did, before the close of their labors, and in obedience to the petition of a large number of persons doing business upon the canal—captain of boats and others—pass a resolu- tion prohibiting the running of boats on the Sab- bath day; and from and after this, all lock-keep- ers will be required to keep them (locks) closed on Sunday. This regulation, we beiieve, will not pant prevent the frequent occurrence of many evils, but prevent what we consider real down- right nuisances, besides affording the employees of the Canal Company an nese! of spend- ing the Christian Sabbath in something like a Christian manner, and not like a set of galley slaves, as heretofore. We hope next to see a reso- lution to probibit the doing of the work of repairs on the Sabbath. When this is done, we shall expect to see the canal begin to answer the end of its creation. The Rev. Dr. Murray, of the Methodist Pro- testant Church, delivered his farewell sermon to the congregation he has served so faithfully and acce; ly the last two years, last night. The Dr. is a universal favorite in our city, and will carry with him to his new field of labor,the kind regards of all among us, who had the pleasure of his acquaintance The fine packets Argo and M. C. Meigs, of the Messrs. Ritter canal line, commenced making their regular trips between our city and Edwards’ ferry, and other ints on the canal, this morn- ing. Each of these boats have recet been thoroughly rebuilt and remodelled; and for neat- ness, comfort, and convenience, they cannot be excelled by any packets of the kind anywhere. Moreover, this line of public travel is owned and conducted by a gentlemanly and accommodating set of fellows as can be found anywhere. Business along our river and canal wharves, this morning, begins to present quite an encour- aging aspect. At the former we find the schrs. M. J. Fardy, Fields, from Salisbury, to Wheat- ley and Libby & Son; Sam’! B Grice, Collier, do., with lumber to F. Wheatley; and quite a fleet of bay and river craft, with wood, &c. On the canal quite a number of boats have arrived with grain, flour, &c. F. Wheatley, Esq., on Saturday, purchased of Jos. N. Fearson, Exq., the three lots on Water street where the fires occurred last week, fronting eighty feet on said street and running back about the same depth to the canal basin, for $1,000. ‘The Rev. W. B Edwards occupied the pulpit of bis new charge yesterday morning and even- ing. He seems to have lost none of the fire of zeal and animation of former Gays; and from all we can iearn his discourses of yesterday made a very decided impression for good on his hearers. SrRcrator.
