ART NOYES. Mr. Frank Duveneck, the well-known Cin- Cirnati arist, writes to his family from Flor- ence, Italy, that he has opened an art school in that city, and has nearly fifty pupils. — Mr. Stagg, the Boston portrait painter, has Just finished for the government a portrait of Judge Richardson of the Court of Claims, to be bung in the Treasury department as one of the Series of portraits of its secretaries, which it is intended shall be made complete as early a3 Practicable. At last accounts the picture in question was on exhibition in Boston. — M. Georges Becker, whose large and pow- erful but repulsive picture of “Rizpah” will be well remembered by visitors to the Phitadel- phia Centennial exbibition, has undertaken a Monster picture of the distribution of new fi tothe French army on the 14th of last July. One of the largest halls in the Trocadéro Palace has been opened to him by the government for a studio. —™M. Bastien-Lepage’s painting of Joan of Are, which attracted so much attention in the French Salon this year, and in regard to which It will be remembered one or two correspond- ents of THE STAR wrote very enthustastically, bas just been sold for 20,000 francs. Itis to comé to America. Artists found much to admire in this picture, Dut it ts not beileved thar it ‘will be equally popular with the general public — Those who desire to see how accurately art can lmitate nature should take occasion to in spect some oii paintingsof fish, beionging to the U.

A Portion of the pictures referrea to, we may add, are by Brackett, and others by Kilbourne, two American artists who undoub'edty stand at the Lead of that department of art. —Mr. Clarence Messer, who returned to the city with his bride last week, still keeps his Studio and class room in Vernon Row, though he bas removed the latter down one flight of Stairs nearer the street.

This may or may not be due to the many liberal American orders lately given, but the fact is noticsable that good aintings have advanced considerably in price In all the continental art centers, and are fewer in number than in former years. It is a rare thing to find even medtum Class works ready at the artists’ studios, and the stock in dealers’ hanes abroad is unusually light. The supply is ‘ot at all equal to the demand. — At arecent meeting of the trustees of the Corcoran Gallery tt was decided to have fu) Jength marble statues placed without unavoida- ble delay In the niches in the west or 17th street wall of ihe butlding,—some seven, In all, we De- Neve. The selection of figures, whica will, of course, illustrate {n one way or another the history of art, ts left to the committee on art, consisting of Mr. Walters, Mr. Riggs and Mr. Welling. "It 13 understood that the commission for these figures will be given to Mr. Ezeklel.the American sculptor, now in Rome, who, tt will De remembered, executed those now in place on the south front. — The last number of the Art Interchange has an engraving—from a photograph—ot Bonnat’s portrait of Mr. John Taylor Johnston, painted forthe New York Art Museum, of which, it will be remembered, Mr. Johnston is president. Of course the engraving does not do full justice to all the points of the painting, but it shows enough to lead to the bellef that after the original picture comes to this country and fs put in —— position less fault will be found with Mr. Johnston’s eholce of an artist than has been found hitherto. It {3 doubtful whether any American artist now living can paint so gocd a portrait as this. —The work of Mr. J. G. Mitchell, a compara- Uvely young sculptor of Rochester, ts highly pralsed by the papers of that place, and by some of those of New York city as well. So thorough- ly does Rochester believe in him that some of her citizens have given or are about to give him a commission to execute a colossal Flying Mer- cury, to be placed on the top of a tall tower ot some kind shortly to be erected there.

A well-knowg agent estimates the livings annually offered for actual sale at about 200; another witness places the number at least 700, or 10 percent of those in patronage. —The seating capacity of the Jewish templesin.

Willlam Croswell Doane, Protes tant Episcopal Bishopoft Albany, New \ork, has published a pamphlet entitied “Kindred and Aftinity; Goa’s Law of Marriage,” in which he tries to show that a man In no circumstances should be allowed to mairy his dead wife's sis. ter. To urge, he says, that such a marriage is “the sweetest and most natural thiag” Tor a widower is mere sentiment and “often a sickly sensualism poorly disguised under a thin veil: and against It is to be set up the fact that the impossibility of marriage estabilshes firmly the sacred and most blessed relationship of the wife’s sister In the family. The very name by which the relation is kuown involves the cer- tainty of this protection.

Stopford A Brooke’s address to his congregation at Bedford chapel, London, taking leave of the church of England, attributes this step fo a change of view In regard to the cred- ag ae miracles, particularly the miracle of the incarnation on which he conceives the church of England appears to have its form of faith. While he no longer regards Christ a3 “absolute God,’ yet he does believe that “Ged has specially revealed himself through Christ, that the highest religion of mankind 1s founded on his life and revelation, that the spirit of his life jg the life and salvation of men, and that he himself 1s the head and representative of man- kind,—Jesus Christ our Lord.” How he can dissociate even such a character from miracle is what the London Spectator cannot under- stand. —The Methodist says that “ the most notabie defect in the Presbyterian Council was that the members did not partake of the Lord’s Supper ether. The anti-masonic Presbyterians are sald to have prevented this service. It 1s very siguificant that the Cumberland Presbyterians were courteously excluded. This means that the basis of the union 1s severe Calvinism, and this was incidentally shown In several papers and debates. These two facts—the failure to commune and the rejection of the Cumberland brethren—will not have a favorable effect upon the Aillance. Sooner or later this latter assocl- ation must come down to similar matters of disagreement. The remedy seems to us to lie in the progress of all believers toward a con- mon faith respecting essentials, which, {n turn, Will modify and soften the rigors of Calvintsm in the creed.

Its construction has been one of THE MOST DIFFICULT SEWER JOBS ever undertaken here, and has attracted the attention of many engineers and experts, a3 weil as the citizens generally. The outiet sec- tion is that portion which is covered with a brick arch of twenty-four feet span, a distance of 500 feet between, running from *#s north side of B street diagonally across ta. line of ‘the old 17th street wharf to the south side of what will, when improved, be Virginia avenue.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS OUTLET involved the necessity of tearing out the whole of the twelve feet sewer laid by the board o public works, more than doubling its capacity and laying it several feet lower down. The ex- vavation for this section alone Involved the dlg- ging out and carting away of 19,153 cubic yal of mud and solid earth before the piles could be driven for the foundation. There are 1,333 cubic yards of stone masonry in the walls on which the brick arch rests; 1,370 cubic yards of brick masonry; 1,422 cuble yards of concrete masonry. a8 a backing for the haunches; 90 plies, from 25 to 30 feet in length each; 120,000 feet of lumber for flooring, shut piling and shoring up the banks; and S,000 cubic yards of earth in refill- ing. The cement concrete not only is used in pace up the stone walis, but is covered over the entire arch, forming a solid mass of cement its entire length. TROUBLE FROM WATER. During {ts construction the water from the B street and 17th street sewers was carried off through ditches in other directions, and the dripping through the porous marsh mud re- quired an engine and pump of immense size and power to be almost constantly at work to keep the excavation free of water. ‘The extreme end, or mouth, of this section 1s built of cut stone, and with a stone coping on top. which ts on a Hne of Virginia avenue. From both sides of this mouth a stone masonry wall, of nearly the same height asthe sewer wall, is to be run out at an obtuse angle on either side to a point where the width will b> seventy feet, where willbe commenced a line of stone masonry wall, running ali the way to near the deep water of the Georgetown channel. When this is completed, the mud will all be dredged out between the two walls and thrown on either side, thus forming an open ditch to deep water. ‘THIS 18 A DEVIATION from the original plan, which contemplated the sides of this ditch to be rip-rapped with loose Stone, Dut this 1s thought to be almost as cheap and much more permanent; as a good solid foundation of gravel and marsh clay is found all the way, only a few feet below the mud on which to construct this wall. This will in no wise interfere with the general plan of reclaim- ing and improving the river flats which has been adopt by the District authorities, and approved by the shipping merchants. The eight feet diameter section of the intercepting Sewer commences at the north side of B street, where the 24 feet archway ends, is circular in form and runs diagoi across the White lot to 15th and E streets, a distance of 1,900 feet, and recelves in its course drainage trom the Several sewers running under the White lot. Atl5th street there is a gentle bend up 15th Street. This section is also laid on a concrete base and is backed up and overlaid by the same material, The several openings left in this sewer THROUGH THE WHITE LOT, which have been so unsightly through the past summer, have now been closed up, the elght Man-holes built up to a level with the grade of the lot and properly capped with fron castings, making the whole line now in perfect order. ‘The next section running up 15th street to New York avenue is 6*; feet inside diameter, and 1s in the same manner, in concrete, as the lower part. At 15th street and New York ave- nue the form of the sewer is changed to an egg- shape, the small end being downward. This thought to be much better in several poe as experience has shown. Here the invert of the hardest kind of trap rock blocks commences, and is to be run all the way to ith street of the same. The tnvert portion is that which receives the friction, and when made of brick is soon worn out, especially where there is so much drainage, as there will be in this sewer. These trap rock blocks are laid with close cement joints and in a thick bed of cement concrete, which is also covered around the brick pertion, as before stated. Tals rale ts Uo be applied through its entire length to 7th street, where the sewer termfpates at an inside diameter of three feet in width and four and a-half feet tn depth. Mr. Coyle with his entire force is now at work on that portion between 15th and 13th streets, the opening for the cower being made south of the parking. The connection has just been made with the large sewer in 14th street, lald during Mayor Bowen’s administration by Mr. Plant, and all the drainage above New York avenue nop is this sewer now passes into the ew sewer laid by Mr. Coyle. This will be the case with all the sewers on the line running north of it, as fast as they are reached.

There was nothing in the leas dramatic about bis style; indeed his ie: was heard aimost as though it a duty to be gotten through as soon as possibl But the subject matter was so inte'esti full of briliiant hen plcuares and so graphically told, that he held his audience perfectly ihtécghout. “Tt was in July, 1570,” quietly began Mr. Forbes, ‘that I took up the trade of a war cor- respendent, and I have followed it ever since, 1 have served five campaigns in Europe, one in Asia, one in Africa, visited King Thubah in Bur- mah, called on Stabley in Africa, witnessed the fighting at the Khiva Pass, been a prisoner six umes, been half killed by a mob, and mentioned in dispatches for saving life, and I therefore Might be pardoned for relating merely personal experiences. But instead, I have chosen to give some account of persons with whom I have been brought 1n contact.” f ie Forbes then continued, in substance, as follows: It was In the Franco-Prussian war, when Prince Frederick Charles was marching on Metz, that I first saw, in the market place of a little village, St. Abbold, the Emperor William, bluff, keen-eyed, frank of 5} h, but genial. With him were Vou Moltke, thin, gaunt, wrinkled, Knowing how to be silent in seven laLguages, and the rugged Bismarck, looking more like a soldier than a statesman. For two hours Wiillam stood there, surrounded by won- dering cadets from the military school, wateh- ing the army deflle before him; now white- coated, stecl-breasted cuirassiers, and now files Ofinfantry with their bands. He personally criticized the dicipline and equipment of tbe soldiers. August 1S, 1870, at Gravellotte, I saw Prince Frederick Charles, who had risen at daybreak, and was consulling with his leaders. He was a square-shouldered, upright man, with a broad, square brow, keen eye and a wide mouth. Clad in a red tunic and mounted on a bay horse, he at last brought his hand down on his thigh, ex- claiming: “Your duty is to march forward, find the exemy, prevent his escape, and fight him wherever you find him.” During the roar of battle that day, with 60,000 men dead or dying. the King was sitting leaning against a wali flanked by a dead horse and broken wagon, with Bismarck near him pretenfiing to be indift- ferently reading letters, A shout was heard.

Tie proudest monarch in Europe was cooling his heeis at a weaver’s cot tage, waiting in attendance on a Prusstan. Soon a troop of cutrassiers formed around the cottage, Bismarck returned, and Napoleon was escorted to a ruined house in Sedan. Von Moltke had dispelled the obstinacy of the French com- mander by showing him the German cannon, and the capitulation had been signed. The German monarch came riding down with head pay erect to meet the be: bs nt and broken ‘apoleon, who came forward with handker- chief at his eyes, while William's face workei strangely. In the shattered house an {nterview of twenty minutes was held, then William rod= away among his troops and Napoleon spent the night in the bed-room occupied by WIL the night before.

M.Faye propounds the following solution to the difficulty: Under the oceans the globe cools more rapidly and to a greater depth than be. heath the surface of the continents. Ata deptu Of four thousand meters (tuirteen thousand feet) the ocean will still have a temperature not remote from 0 deg. C., while at a similar depth beneath the earth’s crust the tem- perature would be not far from 1b: deg. C. (allowing 10S feet in depth down for an increase of 1 deg. in the internal temperature).

(Kansas City Times, A Budfern y’s Life. [St. James Gazette.) Asmall red and black butterfly poises stat- pes ad above the purple blossom of this tall fleld thistle. With its long sucker it probe industriously floret after floret of the crowded head, and extracts from each its wee drop otf buried nectar. AS it stands just at present, the dull outer sides of its four wings are alone displayed, So that it does not form a conspic:10us mark for passing birds; but when it has drank up the last drop of honey from the thistle flower, and filts joyously away to seek an- other purple mass of the same sort, tt will open spotted vans in the sanlight, and will then show Itself off as one among the prettiest of our native insects. Each thistle head con- sists of some 200 separate Ilitle bell-shaped blossoms, crowded together for the sake of conspicuousness into a single group, just as the bicesoms of the lilac or the syringa are crowded into larger though less dense clusters, and, as each separate floret hasa nectary orits own, the bee or butterfly who allghts upon the com- pound flower-group can busy himself fora mo- ment or two in getting at the various drops _ 0: honey without the necessity forany further change of eee than that of revolving upon itsownaxis. Hence thesecomposite flowers are great favorites with all insects whose suckers are long enough to reach the bottom of their ‘siender tubes. The butterily’s view of life 1s doubtless on the whole acheerfulone. Yet his existence must be samething so nearly mechanical that we probably overrate the amount of enjoyment which he derives from flitting about so airily among the flowers, and passing bis daysin the unbroken amusement of sucking liquid honey. Subjectively viewed, the butterfiy tsnota high order of insect; his nervous system does not show that provision for comparatively sponia- neous thougkt and act'on whic we fladin the more intelligent orders, like the files, bees, ants and wasps. His nerves are all frittered away in little separate ganglia distributed amon: the various eet of his body, instead 01 being governed by asingle great central organ, or brain, whose business it is to correlate and coordinate complex external impressions. This shows that the butterfiy’s movements are almost all automatic, or mre dependent upon immediate external stimulants; he not even that small capacity for deliberation and spontaneous initiative which belongs to his relation the bee. He is, as it were, but a pee half-consctous mechanism, answering immediately to impulses from without, just as the thermometer answers to variations of temperature, and as the telegraphic indicator answers toeach making and breaking of the electric current. In early life the future butterfly emerges from the egg as a caterpillar. At once his legs begin to move, and the caterpillar moves forward by thelr motion. The caterpiliar walks, it knows not why, but simply because it has to walk. When it reaches a fit place for feeding, which differs according to the nature of the particular larya, it feeds automatically. After a con- siderable span of Ife spent in feeding and walking about in search of more food, the cat- erpillar one day found itself compelled by an inner monitor to alter its habits, Why it knew not; but just as a tired child sinks into sleep, the gorged and full-fed caterpillar sank peacefully into a dormant state. Then its Ussues melted one by one into a Kind of organic pap. and {ts outer skin hardened into a chrysalis. yithin that solid case new limbs and organs began to grow by hereditary impulses. At length one day the chrysolis burst asunder, and the insect emerges to view, a full-tledged and beautiful butterily. For a minute or two it stands and waits till the air it breathes has filled out tts wings, and till the warmth and supligat have given it strength, For the wings are by origin a part of the breathing apparatus, and they require to be plummed by the air before the tnsect can take to flight. Then, as it grows more accus- tomed toits new life, the hereditary impulse causes it to spread Its vans abroad, andit flies. Soon a flower catches its eye, and the bright mass of color attracts it irresistibly, as the candle-light attracts the eye of a child a few weeksold. It sets off toward the patch of red or yellow, probably not knowing beforehand that this'is the visible symbol of food for 1t, but merely guided by the blind habit ofits race imprinted with binding force in the very constitution of its body. Thus the moths, which fly by night and visit only white flowers whose corollas still shine out in the twilight bly led the external directi ig] or three times by the flame, must still wheeland eddy into it, ull at last they perish in the scorcl blaze.

This color is not of the order of Invisible greens, but 1s of a bright unmistakable hue. Sults of this color have already appeared in Paris and London, but are worn mostly by ultra-fashionable ladies, ‘who care more for novelty and eccentricity than for comeliness in dress. There are a variety of shades to choose from, variously named Impyan green, willow, moss, cooked sorrell, grass and Serpentine. A GREAT IMPROVEMENT has been effected in the shape of the union or combination under- garments since they first appeared, but there 1s room for still further advance. The sleeves should be shortened somewhat, the neck cut jower, and square—or at least there should be a choice of form, as there is in the single gar- ments, so that those who prefer the more dainty styles should be free to make a selection. The gteat luxury nowadays consists of underwear and hosiery of spun silk. It is most delightful to the sense and touch, though there still are some who prefer for cold weather the actual contact with soft. pure wool, and think that nothing can take its place. Probably the wool has the advantage on the score of health. par- ticularly for those who have to be ex) to weather; but it 1s presupposed that ladies wii can afford silk underwear and silk hose are not obliged to brace the inclemency of winds and snows.—Demorest’s Monthiy.
