During this time sales of works may be made, but no work mentioned in the catalogue can be removed until after the close of the exhibition. —The artists who have studios in Vernon Row propose to ho'd an Exhibition Reception in a suitable room in that building next Moaday evening. Contributions are promised als) by Weyl and Kindleberger, and perbaps from some other painters not domiciled there, and 1t is both intended and expected that the proposed display shail be in every way a creditable one, —In the flourishing age of art they are sald to have practiced at Ephesus a clever trick on the sculptors in order to determine which among a number of competing statues shonid be accepted. Each sculptor was asked which statue he thought was the fter his own, All agreed that, next to their respective by tes the statue by Polyklettos was the best. Pliny, the hander-down of this veracious tale, says that the subject was a wounded Amazon and one of the competitors Pheidias. —Itis pretty hard to define what ts neces- sary to make an art critic, and perhaps the essentials can never be exactly formulated; but a writer in a Chicago paper potats gut at least some of the requisites, as follows: “ Common sense, In the first place; a carefitl observation of nature, in the second place, combined with discrimination enough to percetve when It {s Well, and when badly, simulated in art; and in the third place, a disposition to be just and not too punctilious. Enough poetry in the soul to appreciate idealism, and some knowledge of technique, are presupposed, of course, though the latter 1s not necessary'In the highest de- gree, for a man may be able to appreciate and criticise painting even if he does not know how to paint, just as he may analyze poetry though he may not be able to write verses.” — While the present winter has beenone of unusual severity, meteorologically considered, those interested in picture sales have had nothing to complain of. The number of sales has uever been greater in New York in any season, and as a rule prices have been high. ‘The same thing has been observable {n Wash— ington, though in smaller degree. Of course the pictures sold here are as nothing compared to the collections sold in New York, elther in quantity, quality or proceeds realized. Still, taking artistic merit into account the figures realized here were about as high relatively as there. Indeed at one of the ‘sales last week the prices lie for some of the pictures must have turprised as well as gratified their owner, and some of them have gone into nouses where most persons would naturally 100k for works ot art of a much higher grade, —The Corcoran Gallery has recently added to its collection a very attractive picture by Mr. Carl C._ Brenner, of Loutsyille. It ts enti- ued “An Early June Afternoon,” and repre- sents @ close or Interior view of a Kentucky lowland beech forest, with a pretty little bit of water in the foreground. Although compara- Uvely young In art, Mr. Brenner 18 one of the few men we kuow who Is willing to go far enough and yet does not go too far In repro- ducing the peculiar green of that season of the year and of the rich growths of that particular jocality. As it ts, it may strike those not famtl- tar with the time’and region which the pleture portrays as a little too intense in color, but tt is true to nature, nevertheless; and the raellow- ing touch of Utme will soon leave no ground for objection on that score from any quarter. The picture 1s very cleverly painted throughout, acd the sentiment of ‘the subject well inter- preted. — Huntington’s portrait or Mrs. Hayes, which ig being painted for the Women’s National Temperance Unton, is nearly completed, and ts cousideied by critics to exbidit the artist at his Fest, which, as many persons belfeve, is in female portraiture. The picture 13 full length acd life s'ze, aud represeats M's. Hayes staud- ing tn the open air, on a terrace, wita a faint landscape in the background. In ths tore ground 18 a portion of a drinking fountata, one side of which 13 a panel in bas reitef, réore- senting a female figure leauing on a water-vase lying On tts side, from which flows a stream oi the tiquid, symbolic of temperance.

The only ornament is a slender neck- lace of go!d, with aeumeo medailion of Presi- dent Hayes for a pendant, A small bunch of tea roses fs In one hand, and with the other the folds of the dress are gracefully held back. The picture 1s pronounced not only a falthfal like- ness of the distinguished sitter, reproducing her strong face, bright expression and com- manding figure, but as a work of art a most striking apd worthy ornament to the Executive Mansion, where it 1s Intended that it shall be placed as a testimonial to Mrs, Hayes’ efforts tn behalf of temperance while she was its occu- pant. The picture is to be engraved, and a print 18 to be furnished to every person who a3 Contributed five dollars to the fund. — The weakest department of the admirable Loan Exhibition now open in the old historical Tayloe mansion is that devoted to the fine arts proper. The paintings on view are, as a rule, gcod enough.—some of them are indeed of a very high order of excellence,—but there are not enough of them. There 13 too much of the Wall on exhibition, {f the remark may be par- miited. This result is disappointing, and great- ly to be regretted; butit is hardly surprising. The explanation we suppose to be that persons who own valuable paintings(and there are many such tn Washington) are exceedingly averse to letting them go out of their Alot not only on account of the greater risk of injury or loss thereby, but because it is impossible to properly fill the vacant spaces thus left on their Walls, This objection we understand met the committee In many quarters where they ex- pected important contributions, and, under the circumstances, the gentlemen composing it are perhaps to be congratulated that they are able tomake as good a showing a3thoy do. Stull, as we have said, the comparative scarcity of paintings ts none the less to be regretted. Nor does the excuse for it seems to be quite aut- Hiclent. The danger of damage or destruction is not nearly as gteat as most people suppose; and itis a gracious thing if not an absolute duty on the part of those who possess objects of beauty and interest to let them serve occa- stonally, even at some little inconventence to themselves, as 8 means of frautying and im proving the taste of the public. Townshend and Gorman. It 1s remarkable fact, but strictly in keep- ing with the pecullar institutions and customs ofthis country, that a man who in years gone by served as one of the page boys of Congress, in after life returned to that body as one of its Tmembers. In the Houte, Mr. Richard W. Townshend, of Iiinots, one of the brightest and most level-headed of the democratic members, fills this role. ‘Townshend 1s a Marylander by birth, and bis parents were poor. In order to ald them and provide for an education he se- cured a place as one of the pages in the lower house. That was when he was 12 years old. To-day, at 40 years of age, he ts an honored member of that body, where he first started out tomake his fortune. Whether he will make it 1n bis present capacity 1s hardly probable. He had a checkered career, got plenty of hard knocks, but has come to the surface as a man rman willtake Pink- of brains. Arthur P. Got ney Whyte’s seat In the Senate on the 4th of March. made his Gorman, like Townshend, debut as a Congressional page, and, strange to Say, In the Senate, to which piace he wiil re- turn as one of the mighty and reverend mem- bers.

For many years this house was the sesne of the most notable entertainments given in the new national capital, and during the time it was oc- cupted by members of the Tayloe family every foreigner or American of distinction who came bere was entertained therein. The house was completed about the time the seat of govera- ment was removed here. It ts bullt of imported brick and most of the tels were made in London or Paris, 2nd are of wood moulded fa designs fashionable at that time in those cities.

He ignores the fact that experience has demonstrated, that on occasions of public festivity the civic procession should rendezvous and be formed at a point entirely removed from the crowd and accessible by other routes than the main thoroughfares by which the people are tbrenging to the points of observation. Second, Further objections to forming the third and fourth divisions on Pennsylvania Avenue are, that they will be obliged to form Mne before 11 o'clock and remain tn position for ‘several hours Se in the procession, and that the mode of bringing them into the Procession by moving them down the Avenue and countermarehing them into tae column as It moves up the Avenue will produce sucha kaleldoscope of moving bodies as to completely destroy the spectacular effect of the procession. Third. It will be an absolute impossibility to pack into Pennsylvania avenue from Ist to 15th Streets the number of ple which this plan would assembije there. Many vis{ttog organt- zations will occupy bulidings on the Avenue and must necessarily form or assemble in froat of their quarters to move to their appointad jlices, In addition there would be tw full ‘ Ivisions of the gang in process of forma. ‘on, and then the whole mass of spsct ato: Who, under the proposed limit of the !tn> march, would be thrown tnto this imited space would be surging In every direction. Th. on fusion wouid yond @ontrol and serious ac- Cidents likely to follow. Tn view of these objections we offsr the to l- lowing suggestions: Firs!, That the first division form on I street, With its right resting on corner of Penusylvania avenue and 2ist street, from which point it move down the Avenue, recelving the President and President-elect at the White House and escort them to the Capitol. ; Second. That the second, third and fourth divisions be formed on north B street, East Ceci Street and south A street, with their Tights resting on East Capitol Park, from which points they would successively’ move into column after the conclusion of the inaugural ceremonies and the procession move = the id Avenue, Under this arrangement it would not be ne for these divisions to be in line ecessary Ta gts Akpan which would give ample me to visiting organizations arriving durii the forenoon. = scene Third, That the line after passing the rev: stteet to K street, down K street to 9th street, at which point the organizations as they suc- cessively ve can be dismissed without creating confusion, and which would spread the spectators over such a space as to avold crowding at any one point. Fourti. 1fGen, Sherman 1s wedded to his idea of having the third and fourth divisions line the Avenue for the first division to pass down, we would Hn pegs they be formed else- where and marched to their positions, and that atter the first division has passed through them to the Capitol that, whlie the Inaugural cere- monies are in progress, the third division move down south 1st street and the fourth division out north ist street, and halt with their rights resting on the Avenue, so that they could enter the column on its return, and the whole pro- cession move up the cleared Avenue and make the display expected of it. EXPERIENCE. Program for the Ectior Stor:—There are no doubt thousands Who agree with “Veteran” in reference to the Program for the inaugural procession. The only part of these much-taiked of and jong an- Uclpated ceremonies, which the masses of the people will be able to witness, will be the pro- cession, Comparatively tew will be able to get within hearing or even’ seelng distance of the Stand where tne inaugural address will be read, Whue Duta favored few (from want of means, if from no Olver cause,) will be permitted to participate in the reception or the ball to be given in the Museum bullding. Let us have, then, such a program for the procession as will ive LO every pieveian, WhO may 80 desire, ap opportunity 10 see It ‘ro this eud it Is suggested thdt the head of the column rest, in organizing, on Pennsylva- nla avenue at the eas’ gate of the entrance to the White House, and tuat the entire pri form from that point eas’ on Penrsstvanla a nue, and, crossing 15th street, exu id along New York avenue; civic bodies forming in the streets and avenues crossing New York avenue, beads of columns resting on sald avenue and falling Into line as may be determined upou by Ube marshals. Let the procession then move west on Penn- sylvania aveuue fo 17th street; south on 17th to Gsteet; West on G to 2ist ‘street; north on tz SOUL nsylvanla avenue, aud thence to the Capitol This route would ‘give some two falles of sidewalk and houses from which mea, Women and children couid witness the proces’ sion, and would greatly relieve the avenue of the multitudes who wll’ otherwise attempt t» d into 1t from 15th street to the Captiol. 11 Would al-o afford every organizatloa desiring to parilclpate au opportunity to “:etiato due.

Puxpstay. AG Editor Star :—1t would appear from the pro- gram of the military parade issued by Gen. Sherman, chief marshal for the 4th of March next, that the regula7 troops are to be the only gisubguished men ofarms on that day; tnat the visiting militia from different and remove parts of the Country are to be a secondary af- fair, as 1t were, dolug a sort of police duty on the avenue by Mining the curbs, obstructiag the view of citizens on the walks, posting sen tinels, &C. Mostof them might object toloasing on a curbstone for several hours aud preseattag arms to the regular army. Citlzeas wno have paid tabuious prices for windows ou tue av enue, and obtatued fee simple rights {a eligible sites near the Capital, are to see nly a portion of the parade—and that the disiingaished “reg- lars” on their return down the avenue, and such parts of the milla police as are stationed in that quarter. by the arrangement of march proposed. only the elect aud those fortuaate enough to secure seats on tie exclusive grand Stands near the Treasury and Executive Man- ston will see the entire mass of troops parade. Over and above this the numerous civic organ- izations and veteran corps present to parucl- pate In the ceremonies have not been thought of sufficient moment in the procession to en- litle them to muca Consideration. Taey will be permiited to form where they choose anz straggle on behind like a lot of camp followers. Every reasonable person knows that Peansyt- Vanla avenue cannot possidly accom nodate on 11s side walks the thousands of visitors att peo pie in the clty to-witness tne inauguration, who are elther unable to secure sives or canact. afford to pay Lue outrageous and exorbitant prices demanded on the siand3 and for windows. In view of this, 1t ts surpristag that the pro- gram did not look fo the procession passiag Up the avenue—the iow of it—tnat all might be gratified by a view of it, and back through F or K streets. In no tity in tue country would Ube proposition have been entertained to coun- termarch so large & number of troops oa oae street.
