ART NOTES. | Comparing British with American and other foreiga work atthe London exhibitton | of Painters-Etchera, the Spectator sums up: “If the truth must be told, the majority of the | British work is inferior both in method and im- agination.” — It is now thought that, on account of the excessively hot weather and owing to the fact that few of its members have been able to get ready for it such work as they would like to exhibit, no Spring Reception will be given by the Art Club this season. — Millet’s “Angelus,” bought at the recent Wilson sale in Paris for $32.00, has changed bands again. Its new purchaser is said to nave pata $40,000 for it. ‘The price realized by Millet for this picture, which went for a long Une without a purchaser,—he nearly starving, mean- tme,—was 2,500 francs. —Mr. William Garl Browne, who is finishing & portrait of Mrs. Geo. W. Wedderburn, expects to go soon to North Carolina, where he hus a | number of commissions. He 1s thinking of trying his hand on one or two classo-historical | pictures after he returns to Washington next | autumn, if bis other engagements will permit. —Mrs. Fassett,-who goes to Chicago shortly | for a atay of some length, will stop on her way } to that city at Columbus, to paint a portrait of | Gov. Foster. The picture 13 fatended forthe | State capital bullding, which contains portralts ofall Ohio’ goveraors, and Mrs. Fass3tt wa3 chosen by Gov. Foster himself to execute the work. —Mr. S. A. Coale. jr.,a wealthy art connois- seur of St. Louts, has recently bought Peale’s Well known colossal painting entitled the “Court of Death.” In order to accommodate tt, Mr. Coale will be cbitged to build an addition to his house, which will also contain a battle | oes ct immense s'ze, by Horace Vernet, owned yy bin. —The Corcoran Gallery has purchaaad the large oll painting entitled “A Pastoral Visit.” by Mr. Richard N. Brooxe, of this city, which has been on exhibition in the east room for some time past. In this action the Gallery has given deserved encouragement to a most tal- ented and promising young artist, and at the same time responded to an intelligent and fre- quently expressed public sentiment. ‘There has beer no picture placed in the Gallery fora | long time more generally popular with visitors Uhan this, and ag time goes by, and such scenes as itrepresents become less common than they are Dow, it is quite sare to be regarded as of increased historical value and interest. — The memory of Col. Thayer, who was the first instructor and superintendent of the mil- itary school at West Point, is to be honored by a statue shortly to be erected at that place. ‘The figure 1s to be of heroic size, representing Col Thayer as standing, the right foot belng slightly advanced. The costume is that of a mIniiitary officer at the time of his life. The flowing military cloak Is thrown open and re- Veals the military dress below. In the right hand is a roll of manuscript, and the left grasps the folds of the cloak. Tne head 1s bare, and the likeness is said to be an excellent one. It Was taken from a picture of Col. Thayer which bl painted from life by Prof. Robert W. veir. —At the annual meeting of the National Academy of Design, held in New York on Wednesday evening, the principal officers were all re-elected. Mr. Frederick A. Bridgman was elected an Academician, and Messrs. fi. Bolton Jones, Thomas Hoverden, Frederick Dielman, Frank D. Millet, Thomas Moran, and George W. Maynard were chogen Adsoclates. Just what names were before the Academy for Its honors 1s not known outside of its membership, but it will probably strike the public that the list of fortunate ones is quite small; and, considerin; the reputation some of the gentlemen nai: have alrerdy made, it must be admitted, we think, even by the most partial friends of’ the Academy, that its recoguition of their merits has b2en rather tardy. — Harper’s Monthly for June has an engrav- ing of Bastien le Page’s much talked of Joan of Arc, which was in the Salon of last year, and now owned in this country. In some re- Spects the engraving falls short of the original picture, andin others it does it more than justice. It falls to give adequately the spirit of the heroine's figure and the wonderful ex- pression of her face, but on the other hand, it shows atmosphere and distance in the back- ground, which the painting conspicuously Jacks. It 1s considered quite the thing to go into rapture over this picture, but the truth ig that }t fs all painted on one plane, and has no more perspective than a faded piece of antique tapestry or the needle-work landacapes ordinarily turned out by beginners 1n a young ladies’ boarding school. —Mr. Andrews has just finighed a portrait of the late John C. Kennedy, of this city, which gives great eatisfaction to the relatives and friends of that gentleman, and is now engaged On & portrait of ex-President Hayes. The latter 13 life-size a eee ar toa and omises ‘0 be aremarkably strong and faithful likehess. It will probably find a place in the White House, along-side the portraits of the other | occupants Of that mansion, Mr. Andrews expects to sail, with his wife, for Europe about Une middle of next month, but they may be obilged to give up their usual annual trip for Want of accommodations on their favorite Steamer line,—all the desirable staterooms on their pet ship having been engaged many weeks ago. In that event they will spend the summer in Ohio and elsewhere in the north. —Late accounts from Florence report Mr. Ross Turner still there, but about to go to Paris, where he has undoubtedly arrived before this time. His many friends here will be glad to learn that, after @ long period of hard work and at times rather luraging prospects, Mr. Turner ts now in the enjoyment of very flattering succeas. Not only has he sold all the Pictures on hand, but his new work has founda market as rapidly as painted, in Florence, and at prices considerably higher than those realized by his paintings heretofore sent home for sale. Mr. Turner’a present purpose 1s to spend the summer in and near Paris, and then go to Rome, where be will stay during the winter, with perhaps an occasional trip to Naples and the couth of Italy. Beyond this he has made no definite arrangements for the future. — Mrs. Greatorex,who went to Algiers last fall to sketch and paint, with her two daughters, is Still detained there by the severe illnes3 of one of them, and does not expect to be able to get away before the latter part of this month, as, atleast accounts, the invalid was too weak to be moved. This affiiction, with news of the assassination of her son in Montana some time since, has quite rated Mrs. Greatorex, who in her great sorrow has the sympathy of a lar; ctscle of friends, both in this country and fo Paris, where sne has lived so long. In this con- nection we are pleased to note the fact that ‘Miss Greatorex, who was 30 fortwnate as to be represented in the Salon fast year, is equally favored again this season, notwithstanding the more stringent regulations and the smaller number of pictures accepted in consequence. — St, Leuis is happy in the possesion of a Museum of Fine Arts building, recently erect- ed, and formally presented to the people of that city, on Tuesday last, by Mr. Wayman Crow, one of her wealthlest and most public-spirited citizens. The building, which is a large and handsome one, costing $125,000, is already equipped with a i lumber Of C. 3:8, and contains @ fine gallery for pictures, witch ig just now filled with a valuable loan coliec- Uon. Mr. Crow, the donor, has previously made large contributions for the benefit of the people of St. Louls, and, like Mr. Corcoran of Unis city, in this res) also, he has been a liberal patron of rising young artiste. When Harriet Hosmer was @ young student he made her ap inmate o7 his own house, and sudse- quenuy gave her her first important commis- sion. — So far as we know, up to the present time, no Washington art student has ever been rep- resented in the French Salon. That honor ap- pears to have been reserved for tne year 1SSi, as to point of time, and for Mr. Gaines R. Don- oho as its subject,—a modest young gentleman who left this city some eighteen months ago, and has since been en his studiesin Holland, Germany, Italy and France. Mr. RK. Swain Gifford, with whom Mr. Donoho studied tor a while before going abroad, gave him not only excellent instruction but valuable advice, which have already borne most worthy fruits. ‘The success gained by Mr. Donoho counts for more too this year thas if it had been won in a previous season. It was especially dificult to get a picture on the walls of the Salon this ear, because of the higher standard adopted yy the jury of mn. Heretofore the mat- ter of accepting and rejecting pictures has been tp the hands of the Freach government, but on this occasion Its representatives turned that duty over to the themselves. These met aud appointed & committee of the first artists in the country to prepare a new code for the Salon. This, when reported, was found to be iwuch more stringent in its provisions in regard to the quality of works placed on exhibition than were the old rules. The resuit was that out of nine thousand pictures ore only about Bae erst ir. ni . HOt far from Paris,—the old home of Mil- ahd Roussea other ) from VISIT TO THE MARYLAND MINES. INTERESTING DESCRIPTION OF THE OPERATIONS THERE—THRIR BXTENT AND WHAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED-THE MINES ON THE VIRGINIA SIDE—WILL MININO PAY IN THE POTOMAC REGION ?—THE FACTS PRO AND CON. “ There 1s plenty of gold within twenty-five mnilea of Washington,” remarked a well known Prospector to a Stak reporter recently, “but of course it takes work and time and a great deal of both to get it. The history of California shows that it has cost two dollars to get each dollars worth of gold, that even that king of gold states, has produced. Many invest in land, spend great piles of money for machinery and equally large sums for labor, and yet only have their trouble and Ke Baar thetr efforts. Others more fortunate at it rich from the jump and make it piles of money with Scarcely any oul or difficulty. The same has been, is, and will be the history of the gold reduction of the gold region that lays in teed er Bare ne Sarre side of e Potomac, an county, VI on the other.” ae . This put THE Star man, who isa kind of an amateur prospector, on his inqu It gave him the gold fever, as it were, and it was not maby days before he began a tour of THE GOLD REGION IN MARYLAND, first vielting the gold mine which is belng suc- cessfully worked, four miles east and north of the Great Falls, and about eighteen miles dis- tant from this city. Securing the services ct an experienced and extremely pleasant gulie, THES STAR man started out on Saturday morn: ing last from Rockville, Col. Jake Poss. having Turnished one of his noted nags for the expe- ition, 1t was not long before Tae STAK re- jee found himself, for the first time in his life, at areal gold mine, which {s located as Stated above, a couple of milea from Offut’s Cross Roads. Before giving a description of the mine itself, a ene Wil be related as told by the guide, on e WAY. “It has been known to the farmers who reside along the Potomac for many years that there is gold in considerable quaitities in the rocks of that country,” the guide began, “but it was not thought that 1t was in suca_quanti- tes, that it would pay to develop it. Now and then a plece of rock would be picked up by Some one, which contained some free gold, and there would be considerable talk about it, but aftera while it would die out and nothing more would be heard on the subject untll some other person made a lucky ‘find,’ and then everybody would begin prospecting again. ‘The fever died out almost as rapidly a3 it was raised, Because the prospectors could not find solid chunks of the stuff, they wouid give up. Some of them were wild enough to expect to find ready made gold watches, or jewelry allin shape to put it ob, and because they did not succeed after a search of an hour or so, they would give it Up as love’s labor lost, and resume work with thelr ploughs or harrows in the soli; expertence having told them that if they worked hard enougo, and oad any kind of luck, they were almost certain to get a living outof the soil. No doubt it was kind of risky to delvedown into the mysteries of the earth, and in many cases it was attended with considerable expense. Every one came to this conclusion, however—that 1a, every ohe whose opinion was worth anything on the subject—that Ifa sufficient sum of money could be raised to erect the necessary and very expensive machinery, gold digging could be qmade to pay. But the capital necessary to put the project on its feet did not offer itself, and nothing was done until during the past three years, when a corporation under the name ot THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY MINING COMPANY undertook the job. Since then they have had the monopoly in developing gold in thts county, and have been very successtul. They have se- cured the most {nteiligent labor and improved apparatus, aud are, it is said, making money. How much, we who are not let into the secret of the company, know not, and this fact worries ome people a great deal. It appears that the company are satisfled with the prospects, and roe continually adding improvements to their works.” The guide then was about to explain other things in connection with the history of the gold region, as it 1s called, when Tag Star man Indicated that the story must be told as brietly ag possible, as the double sheet Srak, in which the story would be printed, was so well filled with advertisements that there was no room for wire-drawn details. “ Brevity is the word then,” the guide said, continuing the conversation, ‘though it 1s hard toconderse so much of joy and ore expectation and disappointment, wild dream3 of sudden and immense wealth and sad reality of Ured hands, worn-out feet, empty pockets, and equally empty stomachs, running over a Perloa of sixteen years, into anything like a ehort story. DURING THE WAR there were, as you may have heard of or seen, & great many soldiers stationed at different points along the Potomac, from the Aqueduct Bridge at Georgetown all the way up to the Great Falls, and even higher up. Well, these soldiers, or some of them at least, often wan- dered into the country on tours of ‘pleasure or for tLe purpose of foraging for chickens, vege- tables and other things that soldiers enjoy at Unfes. Now and then one of them would pick Bp 8 plece of quartz with a speck of gold in it. 6 would show It to a select few of his friends, and as scon as they got the opportunity they Would go huntiag for more. Some of them told Ube most extravagant stories of their discov- erieg, and put great values on their finds, when there was really no substance for them, At the conclusion of the war, or a year or 80 afterwards, at least twenty-five of these same soldiers came back to the scenes of thetr dis- coveries abd endeavored to purchase certain Strips of land for the purpose of mining it. This put the farmers In an excited condition, and it ig & matter of record that some of them refused forasmall strip of land a sum which would more than buy their entire farms now. There were rumors of rich veins being discovered every day, the rumors in each case proving, on Investigation, to be groundless or great exaggerated. Some of these would-be pur- chasers of mining land hung around until they had spent every cent they had, and then gave up the whole thing in disgust and left. ANOTHER GOLD FEVER, Six or seven years since, another fever broke Out, but it did not last long, and of it all (as you seem anxious for me to wind up) therd is nothing left except this mine, which is, in opinion, a valuable property.’ There are plenty of *panners’ about here—fellows who hunt about the shores of the various creeks and branches for small pieces of rock which contain go!d, and which are broken off by the processes of nature, storms, floods and the lise, Thesa *panners’ frequently gather good rock enough. lo pay them as much as they would receive, and often more, for working onfarms.

C. Harrison, the eneral superintendent, to bein charge. ’Mr. lorgan was very communicative, and explained the Various processes to which the gold-con- talning rock went through from the time it comes up in the shaft from where it is mined UnUI it 1s melted into bars, In which shape it is aleposed of. THE HISTORY OF THE MINE. “ The company,” he satd, “has been in active operations for over two years. It owns, In all, about two hundred and sixty acres of land, which includes portions of what were known a8 Harrison's, Fisher’s and Stone's farms, be- sides property near by wnich was purchasei icholas Acker and Mr. Davidson. The veln that we are now working runs north and south. The shaft is now one hundred and tive feet deep, and the bottom ts below the water ‘level, The rock is getting better as we get deeper. It is mostly int andslate. Ordinarily we have alx miners at work, but to-day we have but two. Including the engineers, the force of men here numbers twelve. Mr. Wm. H. Brown, of Baltimore, is the president of the company. Major Chas. of Geol wn, is a heavy stockholder, I believe, and 1s also one of the board of directors. For a long time the rock was white, but now it 1s coming up blue, «vhich is caused by the sulphurous ore, and the bluer it is the more valuable it is.” Accepting the invitation of Mr. Morgan, the gold-hunting reporter of THE Stak went on a our of inspection. the guide, before referred to, being busily engaged in discussing soma Questions relating to geological formations and Prismatic combinations, cr something else of equal interest, with Mr. Stone, one of the cour- teous genUlemen who is connected with the THE FIRS?

HOW THE ORE [3 HANDLED, From here the rock is carried‘to the steam crusher, an apparatus stmilar to that used by the concrete pavement-making or asphalt-boll- tog fiends. The rock is crushed up into small leoes and then transferred by more machii nto the stam; ordinary building sand. Then itsiides into two large cast tron tubs of about five hundrea gallon capacity, called the “pans,” where a quantity of water is turned into it, and the whole thing stirred up with a haif dozen steam- operated spoons until the stuff gets into che consistency of thin mush. From there it runs into the “settlers,” two other large cast iron tubs, where the quickstiver is poured into it. The quicksilver attracts ail the gold, which, being heavier than the crushed rock, gets to the bottom and then sneaks it out by an inge- nicus arrabgement or trap at the bottom, the tailings or leavings being allowed to escape from the tubs after it 1s forced to yield up the rich metal that formed in it, and own into a valley in the rear of the wot The quicksilver still having the gold in its clutches, is dipped out apd post into a bag filter, the material of which is bed-ticking. The mercury or quicksilver, or ‘qnick” as the miners call ti, passes through the interstices in the bag, leay- ing the gold almost free and pure. One or two more processes are necessary—for the gold a3 left in the tliter fs in an amalgam—of a chemical character before the gold goes to the cupola, where it is melted up tanto bars. “As far as 1 am concerned,” said Mr. Morgan after the tour of inspection of the works was completed, *I have nothing to do witu the rock or resuits after I land it ‘on top,’ refers to the place where the quartz was piled up. “My work is confined to mining it, and that is troublesciae enough at times.” "How much can a miner send apin a day?” Tax Stak man asked. ‘That deperds,” said he, “on the quan- tity of the blast. Ordinarily one man can send up two tons of rock ina day. For blasting we use giant powder, one of the pecullarities of which 13 ts Kicking power.

Noticing that he did not have the usual miner’s lamp attached to his bat, THE Srak reporter was led to inquire how he got light to work with, “Oh, we've shook the lamp. The fumes from the burning ofl made it unhealthy, and ta its place we use sperm or wax candies.” “Ts 1 Cool down ia the mine?” Tag Srar re- porter inquired. “When i€ be cold on top it be warin below,” hesaid, “and when it be warm ontop It be cold below.

But we pass the time away pleasant enough, talking and drilling, drilling and talking, and now and then swear— ing and blasting. ‘The boss can’t tell whether we are working or playing, unless he notices that we ain’tsending up much. Mining is like everything else, some like 1¢ andsome don’t. 5 for me i never did anything else, and don’t expect to. They say it’s a trade. I do like sometimes, though, tostay up a while, while ihe sun is shining, just to get a little color in my face. I don’t like to be looking bleached and ike a ghost all of the time,” DISCOVERIES ON THE VIRGINIA SIDE, ‘The other miner, who had finished his dinner, asked the reporter if he had heard anything in regard tothe veln that had been struck near Falis Church, in Fairfax county, Virginia, add- ing that he had heard there were some solid men who intended to work it, and that they had ordered machinery which was to cost $25,000, and that Secretary Windom, of the ‘Treasury department, was a large stockholder in the new enterprise. ‘The reporter said he had not heard anything in regard to the Fatis Church strike, except 1a & general way. Well,” sald the miner, “my opinion is that it will pay rich if enough money 1s put up to buy the necessary machinery. ‘There 1s no reason why it won’t pay as good as ‘Unis mine if 1t is managed right.” THE GREAT QUESTION—WILL IT PAY? It will be noticed that up to this time noth- ing has been written about the all important question of how much does the mine pay. No one whom THe Srar reporter had yet met had apy figures to offer, or at least did not offer them. Running across Mr. H. C, Harrison, tne general superintendent, afterwards, that ques- ton was answered. “It pays well enough forus to work it,” said he, ‘or you can rest assured we would have given up long before this, Here is the result of the last five tons of rock that I have worked.” showing @ small bar of gold. “It 1s worth $97, though it was rather below the average.

By using What 1s Known a8 the sodium amal- gum process, such as I have lately used, rock will pay to work if it only yletds ten or twelve dollars per ton. NEW PROCESS OF HANDLING ORE. Mr. Crosby, & mineralogist and assayist, who resides in East Washington, informed the writer that by a new English process, goid mining would pay if the yleld was tive dollars per ton, In connection with the same matter, Col. J. R, Frenen, ex-Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, who is president of a company which for some |. Ume was epgaged at their works near the 7th Street wharf, in South Washington, in reducing ores, said he would not like to deal in rock that aid not pay at least ten dollars per ton, and that he thought one of the Maryland or Vir- ginia companies intended purchasing the ma- chinery abd apparatus which was used by bis company, THE VIRGINIA VEINS. Hearing that Mr. Wm F. Carne, of Alexan- dria, had devoted some attention to the gold question, as far as Virginia is concerned, Tas Stak reporter hied himself to that city, and meeting Mr. Carne allowed him to tell his story in his own words, the statistical part of It and the neat calculation being speciaily valuable. The statement is as follows: “some Ume ago, prospecting through Fairfax county, I was struck with tne frequent ap- pearaLce of rock and pebb:ewhich, although I am hot skilled in such matters, struck me as singu- jatly like these which abounded in gold-deariag regions that I bad visited in Norch Carolina.

It was mentioned in the report of the pro- ctecings of the meeting of th? public school trustees held Tuesday evening, pudlished in THE Stak the nest day, that Mr. J. F.N. Wil- kinson remarked that there were certain | reports as to Miss C, E. Lewis, a colored teacher who recently resigned, and moved | that the vote accepUng her resignation be | reconsidered. He presented the following LETTER FROM MISS LEWIS, to the beard, in which she says: “I am em- ployed by your body asa teacher tn the grams mar school No, 1, Sumner building, from whica I was suspended by Mr. John H.

Hecame to the house just as any neighbor would between whom there existed such friendiiness as there was between Mr. Marshall's famtly and ourselves. I saw him occastonally as an ordi- nary acquaintance. A knowl of the affair having reached the gentlemen who have super- vising charge of the celored schools, three of them—Messrs. Brooks, Smitn and Pope—held an Infornial consultation, at which it was de- ciéed that, baving become a party to a scandal, whether gulity or Innocent of the things where- of I was accueed, my usefulness tn the schools was at an end, and (hey united in a recommen- dation to me to forward immediately my r-sig- nation or they would request the general board torevoke my appointment. Conscious of my innocence, and even, if necessary, my ability to establish it, and my fitness for the position in the public schools acceptably filled by me for twelve years, I saw the gentlemen hereinbefore mentioned and asked that, before yt action in this matter, a full investigation be held, ani it] failed io git my innocence, then I woul be satisfied to have my name branded with Infamy. In the meantime Mrs. Mar- shall, having repented of her hasty action, sent to Uhe sub-board, so I have been tn- formed, asserting that she never intended to charge, elther directly or indirectly, that there was any improper con- duct between her husband and myself, and, so far as I can learn, completely exonerating me, The subboard duly considered this letter, and concluded that the investigation asked for could not be granted: First—I use they did Not possess judicial power, and could not re- eee) the attendance of witnesses. Second— ‘hat public opinion demanded my retirement from the schools. Third—That even thouga 1 succeeded in establishing my innocence, their action In the premises would still be the same. To objection No. 1 I stated that all the parties interested were willing to testify without the usual requirements in judicial To No, 2, that if the expressions of sympathy from almost an entire community were to be taken as an earnest of public sentiment, pudlic opinion demanded my re- tention in school. The third objection seemed 80 Op} to all principle of right and justice that I deemed a reply useless. They, however, advised me to present my grievances to the Board of Trustees, and I wouldin all proba- bility be granted the trial I seek. Now, gen- Uemen, appeal to you to do me that justice which Is accorded the vilest criminal in this country. I believe there is a principle in our if lam thus dealt with because of arumor which the prosecuting witness denies, without the fair and imparual trial I seek, what protection have innocent ladies in the schools? Ido not ask for mercy; I wish justice, Accord me that, aud J do not fear the result. I beg, thers- fore, that there will be a full examfnauon tato all the facts relatlag to this case. I also ask that the resignation sent to Messrs. Brooks, Smitb, and Pope. dated April 19, be returned to me. I bold myself in readiness to resume my duties in school when called upon to do so.” A PETITION TO REINSTATE THR TEACHER, Xr, Wormley presented a petition in refer- ence to the matter, signed by C. M. Lanzston, Mamie L, Harlan, Jennie Percival and thirty other ladies, saying: “We have learned that Miss Carrie E. Lewis, a teacher In one of the public schools of tnis city, has the subboard of the 7th district to resign, and in the event of a;refusal threatened with a dis- missal, for the verbally stated reason that her name is ‘connected with a rumor;’ and whereas Miss Lewis has successfully taught in this city for twelve years, and has been reused her just and natural request for an investigation by the Subboard, we, tne undersigned women, most ree] ly petition that the general board will fant Miss Lewis the A coel to be heard, a priv- lege never refused the lowest criminal.’ Should Miss Lewis be dismissed without a hearing, no teacher 1s safe; for such a precedent would ren- der it Sexe for malice at ay time to rob a lady of both her reputation and her means of earning & livelihood at one fell blow.” MR, BROOKS EXPLAINS, Mr. Brooks remarked that almost as sudden as the explosion of a bomb they found a scan- dal talked of by parents and pupils, and the sub-board, believing that the usefulness of the Teacher was impaired, she was asked to tender her resignation, They advised her that they gave no opinion, and did not wish to stir the matter, and she had accepted the advice. tel on holding an in- vestigation they would have to go into famliy matters, and 1t wou:d do the schools no good; and It wouid only serve to keep up the talk.
