In another skirmish the same day it is thought another Taw-breaker was killed. So far nine illicit dis- Ulleries have been destroyed and several of the distillers arrested and bound over.

C., MONDAY, OCTOBER Lt, 1878. ART NOTES. What with the long continued business de- pression and the extreme heat of last summer so litle has been done in matters relating to art lately that there is almost nothing to be said on the subject. Although most of the art have kept steadily at wor usual, and particularly Guring the season for sketching, few of them have found any demand for their efforts, nor has there been either a public or private pictwre sete of any magnitude for many months past. Recently, however, some signs of improvement have been observable, and there is now a fair prospect that the coming winter and spring sea- son will be reasonably active. It is to be hoped on every account thal these indications may not prove illusive. Artists and picture dealers alike lave had pretty dull times of it for a long wile; and a revival in their line of wade would be not only a good thing them, ina pecuniary point of view, but an evidence also that the genera! business of the country is improving and that the public is again taking an aetive interest in the subject of art. The latter consideration, by the way, is one of much more moment than inay be supposed at first thought. Patronage of art Means not only prosperous times in the country generally, but an improvement and elevation in Publte taste and growth In right directions gen- erally. -—For the reasons suggested aboye we note with pleasure the opening of another art store in Washington. It bids fair to succeed, judging from the crowds of visitors constantly throng- ingit. As yet it las shown nothing of mach importan neither ts the shape of the rooin or its light the best Tor a proper exnibition of works of art, and particularly of oll paintings; but inspite OF these drawbaeks the display — whieh inetudes a muabe picttres by local Usts—is on tht editable aud satis- COTY, 3 a beginning.

The weather is just cool enough to be invigorating, and at no time since the opening of the Expostiion has the city been so full of strangers, Americans and other foreigners came here early in the summer by thousands, but before “doing” the Exposition preferred to take a litte run on the continent or elsewhere, intending to return to Paris to finish up their sight-seeing under move favor- able circumstances—cooler weather and reduced prices. That they were disappointed as regards the latter it is needless to say. ‘They couldnt go home without seeing the Exposition, of Course, So here they are. The city is crowded.

Tense, erybody in the employ of the gov ernment direct is either uniforiaed or is oblige: to wear some insignia of ofiice. Tie custom is a good one, and is being followed to some extent in our own country. The French ee are firm believers in out of door life, and all the Lime possible is spent that: way—it not in the open air, at least in some café or place of amusement, Perhaps this is one of the reasons why they do not devote more attention and time to home comforts and con- veniences. They do not appreciate our idea of home, but at the same tfme they seem well enough satistied with their apartments, gener- ally up four or five flights of stairs. A great advantage in the French way of living. how- ever, is its perfect independence. THE PEOPLE LOVE SHOW, and will sacrifice everything to appearanees, As an Instance, Paris is wonderfully well lighted; in fact it is mun niticent, yet. ibelieve Americans, would prefer (if they couldn't have gas enough for both) to deprive the streets of some and in- uoduce It into the dwellings.
