NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 1873—QUINTUPLE SHEXT. u ing done -by our Boston Catholic contempo- rary. The Jewish Times argues in behalf of the lebrew Benevolent and Orphan Asylum. The Hebrew Leader strikes up its lyre on the “Reawakening of Nature by King Solomon in + the Song of Sengs’’:~ ‘The Winter is over; Flowers are bedecking the flelds; ‘The birds commence to carol; The voice of nature becomes loud on earth, All of which is very pretty and very Scriptu- ral ; but it is difficult ‘‘to see’’ the above sorts of things in this vicinity about these chilly and blustering days. The Jewish Messenger touchesson ‘Rou- ia,”’ ‘Fair Play,”’ “Mixed Worship” and mania, other matters. ‘The Sailors and tne “Land Sharks.’’ Jack is not noted for thrift. He is brave and generous, faithful to his obligations and eredulous of sincority in others. But after his hard work is done, his exposure to hard- ship and danger over, he is apt to squander his hard carnings with lavish hand and sur- render to dishonest custody the wages which should provide for his own comfort and the support of those dear to him. Since sailors first came’ ashore with money in their pockets there has not ceased to be “land sharks," who, in the character of boarding masters, have relentlessly robbed Jack. They not only “cleaned him out,’’ but have established a system of ‘‘tick’’ for him, which mortgages his future industry. He is made to run up a bill as honest as those the old Tamma:y Ring charged to the Court House fund; then, by the aid of Fourth ward rum, the almost or quite unconscious seaman is sold and delivered toa shipmaster whose craft is ready to begin her voyage, the board- ing master getting payment of his very honest account, and Jack getting the chance, bya long term of toil, to pay for a few days’ spree. In the hands of the ‘land shark’ Jack is no more able to take his own part than a worried mouse to thrive under the care of an active Grimalkin.. Congress in its wisdom undertook to protect the sailors‘from the sharks. It es- tablished in New York and other ports Ship- ping Commissioners, in whose offices alone masters of American ships engaged in foreign trade could ship men and pay off seamen. The Commissioners are allowed to grant sailors certificates by which they may discharge their actual debts, the certificates being paid ten days after the debtor has started on his voyage. This does not satisfy the hun- gry boarding masters, who have combined to resist the law by embarrassing and overawing the Commissioner. So violent have they been in their proceedings that the Commissioner has found it necessary to lay the case before the Grand Jury. Indictments have been found against a large number of these men, who are mostly keepers of boarding houses near the wharves. About fifty of them spent Friday night in the Oak street police station, and were yesterday brought to the City Hall, when Recorder Hackett allowed them to give bail for their appearance in Court to answer the indictments when called. It is clear that these men must submit to the law. If, on trial, their guilt is established, there is no doubt the Court will fully discharge its duty in inflicting such penalties as shall convince the culprits that there is vitality in the law and an earnest determination on the part of the judiciary to protect sailors against the rapacity of their false friends—the boarding house sharks. ‘ PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.

The steamer Perit arrived in the Bay yesterday and put into Cock just to soutuward of Fulton ferry. She was chartered by the White Star com- pany and the Coast Wrecking Company for the purpose of freighting her with the cargo of the ill-fated Atlantic. She has been at Prospect, the scene oi the disaster, but her ma- sion has not been quite as _ successful as Was anticipated. At the office of her owners, No. William street, it was found yesterday that she ha brought but 100 cases of the cargo, but even the n: ture of her merchandise could not be ascertained, as it is unaccompanied by bills of lading or a mani- fest.

THE BILLIARD TOURNAMENT. — The Coming Three Ball Carrom Match for the Championship of the World— Ubassy, the Great French Piayer, to Meet Our Good Shots. Billiard rts and those amateurs who find delight in rolling spheres of ivory over the smooth green clothed table, will be pleased to hear that the advent to our shores of a coterie of celebrated players is expected shortly, For & considerable period M. Rudoiph held sway in New York as ehampion at the three ball carrom game; but now there comes one who is said to be mightier than he—a professional billiard player whose performances have won for him the titie of champion billiardist of the world, Pierre Carme, on his appearance in New York, won much applause trom native knights of the cue, but his star was eclipsed by Rudolph. The Dions, Cyrille and Joe, struggled hard for priority, and Melvin Foster did his best to acquire the title of champion, as did also Deery and oth whose ambition was to optain possession of the diamond cue and the title of champion. Now, five or six of the players in America who are most accomplished at the three ball carrom game are to appear at the grand tournament, which will be heid in this city during the first week imJune. The tournament, which isto take place at the Academy of Music, Steinway or Irving Hall, wi!l last six days. Upon every day ofthe week during that period there will be matinges, at which the most celebrated professional bili players will exhibit their skill. Garnier, Maurice Daly, John Deery, Joe Dion and young Mr. Cook, the champion of Eng- land, will assist. The three ball carrom, or French game, will be played during the day and evening, and prizes will be offered severally of $500, $300 and $200 to the most skilful competitors, in ad- dition a large silver cup, something after the style ofthe annual yachting cup, of pure silver, will be the guerdon that the victor will receive. The games are to be 300 points up, and the duration of each will be about two hours; The prizes ure offered by Mr. William Il. Collender, lately the partner of the deceased Mr. Michael Phelan, whose name is knewn wherever biltiards are in vogue. Mr. Collender 1s the originator and or- ganizer of this tournament, and through his en- deavors a committees of gentlemen prominent in science, literature and art will officiate as the jury during the tournament, ‘The great feature of the contest will be the appearance of Mr. Francois Ubassy, the champion of the world at the yp - bail carrom game, Mr. Ubassy has latel; en engaged in New Orleans in a great billiard con- test with Miller, the champion of the Southern States, in which the Freachmau proved the victor, Mr. Ubassy isa native of Marseitle nda towns- man and schoolteliow of Leon Gambetta, the great republican statesman, In 1866 Mr. Ubassy offered to play any man in France at the three ball carrom game for a stake of 1,000 franes, but could find no one. willing to gc- cept the gage, He became the Parisian billiard lion, and in 1867 he had won such renown that he was urged to meet Charles Berger. The two great biliardists played a game of French carroms, 4,000 points up. Ubassy won by 629, making an average ,of seven and one-half, his largest run heing eighty-five.

YANKEE HUMOR, Grace Greenwood at Association Hall Non-Appearance of Miss Faithfull— Lecture on the Characteristics of Yankee Humor. ‘ The hall of the Young Men's Christian Assocta- | tion was nearly filled yesterday atternoon by an audience that was derived for the most part from the female sex, It tad been announced that Miss Emily Fatthfull and Grace Greenwood would be the speakers at yesterday’s matinée, but the cold wind and the clouds of dust were not friendly to the asthma that has been | the faithful companion of the latter during her stay | in this country, and therefore Grace Greenwood, previous to the delivery of her lecture, announced | with regret Miss aithtull’s inability to be present. The lecturess, in presenting hersell to her audience, revealed a more youthful figure and manner than might have been expected by the ansophisticated 4 observer, Who can remember for how long a period Grace Greenwood has occupied a place in the pub- lic eye. Her attire was a black velvet robe, and her hair. was dressed in the prevailing fashion of maidenhood, and Vnjgil 3 from her deli- cate ears glittered the gilded ornaments of the riod. The subject of the lecture was “Yankee Humor and Its Characteristics,” a lecture that has recently beem delivered in the city. The imitation of the Yankee dialect was admirable, and | the stories told illustrative of New England man- ners, customs, thrift and quiet wit brought out a cherus of silver-toned laughter that showed how keen was the gentle feminine ear for fun. Nowand then the stories went to the very ridge of propriety; but the ladies did not seem to mind this, and cepted everything with gladness that came from the fair lips of the lecturer, A SPORTING MAN ACOIDENTALLY KILLED. BALTIMORE, Md., April 26, 1873. Andrew J.

Mr. Sherwood’s Gallery. It is not often that such a chance is offered to the pubiic as that now presented ef inspecting tne pictures constituting the gallery of Mr. John H. Sherwood, They are to be seen at that gentle- man’s residence, No. 522 Fifth avenue, and are 122 in number. The reason for their approaching sale ts to be discovered in Mr. Sherwood's projected visit to Europe, where he intends to remain several years. They were, for the most part, painted to order, and in many instances are the best examples thus far sent from the stu- dios of the artists whose autographs they bear. The entire collection has been on exhibition (by card) at Mr. Sherwood’s residence since last Tues- day, and will be sold at auction next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, by the Messrs. Leavitt, at their salesroom at Clinton Hall. There will be ne reserve whatever. Scarcely a member of this collection but deserves re-examination; but we shall confine ourselves to only a few this morning. In thia country, where the nude is almost entirely abjured, and prudery shuts her eyes toeven pure and beautiful naked- ness, Cabanel's “Eve After the Expulsion from Paradise” will not be so openly admired as it would be abroad, And yet it is a powerful and most exquisite piece of painting, lovely in its ideal, most exquisitely elaborated and , exe- cuted with a purity of touch and motive that cannot easily be too highly praised, Eve lies at full lenth, partly on the leftside, ana partly onthe back, anearly full tront view being pre- sented. Her heavy hair, rich with its own fair brightness, is meshed and tangled in long glitter- ing tresses behind her shoulders. Her head is thrown back, and the eyes are closed and partially shaded with the left hand. The right arm upraised, passes ever the right side of the and upper part of the head, and ressed against the trunk of a tree, imbs are stretched upon the ground. The whele attitude is exceedingly dificutt to reproduce with naturalness, but the success with which the task of beetle oe is achieved 18 wonderfully perfect. The flesh has that pink firmness and elasticity which belong to youth, There is fulness without grossness, and a delicately delicious animalism without voluptu- ousness. Still, the entire attitude is less sugges- tive of tragic abandonment, such as might be sup- posed to have overwhelmed our first mother the moment after expulsion, than of languor and weari- ness of soul, and the loss of interest in even the memories of lost paradise. One of the finest specimens of Guy that we have ever seenis “fhe Little Stranger,” in which the sun shines, tempered through azure curtains, upon a crimson carpeted bedroom, containing a miracu- lously painted bedstead, wherein reciines a young motheg, who has just passed through the agonies of a second confinement and is beginning to taste the delignt of convalescen Beside the bed is The stands a nurse, with motherliness beaming out of every fold in her double chin—a nurse evidentiy with a long retrospect ot happy deliveries to look back on, and whose diary, did she keep one, might brim with details of tri- umphant lyings-in, The child who has hitherto been the oniy one sits at the foot of the bed caressing the gorgeously swaddied new comer, whose slightly purple visage and utterly hairless head denoie the shortness of its arrival, The key- note to the picture is found in the handsome and humiliated doll which lies utterly unregarded on the carpet with its face to the ground, “Sunday Morning,” by A. Siegert, is a simple cottage lyric, treated with great feeling, A girl- ish mother sits, on Sunday morning, by the open window, watching her infant sleep, Her hands hold the Bible open, but her thoughts are on her child, and she sees perhaps its father through her tender musings, People wending churchward are seen through the unshut window, and give a sort of marginal reading to the sweet artistic text. The expression upon the sleeping baby’s face is indicated = with singular felicity—it is so full of the quiet, half-consctous rapture of dreaming babyhood. We confess, too, to a partiality for that away-from-the-world senti- ment of which “Fairfleld Lawn, Isle of Wight,’ by H. and ©, Shayer, is full, The trees, burdened with deep greenness, tower up into each other and loftily interiace; a drove of sheep huddle, with meek precipitancy, onward in the distance, and there are the thatched roof, and the buxom housewife, and the alert = milk- maid, and the lingering horseman, and that delicious pensiveness that is produced by peace and sunlight, purity and innocence and remoteness: irom the world. We must return again to speak of other and, perhaps, even better pictures. Herb- sthoifer'’s “Visit to the Grandparents’ shows a rich Polish interior, with wines and viands in the background, gorgeously attired attendants and a pretty pair of children led by their mether to do Obeisance to their grandparents. Irving's ‘“Rec- onciliation” belongs to a class of pictures over which ladies and the admirers of J. G. A little girl and boy of about eight having quarrelled, are obviously on the point of making up. The little girl, toying witha necklace, wears an expression that implies an amiable readiness to forgive, and stands leaning against an arm ofa chair with her back to the bey, who, with one knee resting on the chair cushion, holds his hand hesi- tatingly near her curls and looks winsomely ¢ trite, “Snapping the Whip” is one of Winslow Homer's most successful pictures. “The Coming Storm,” by Bouguer may possibly have a double signification. A country girl takes shelter under a tree, but the storm that broods over the landseape is prefigured in her sad eyes, and we we fear that she conceals a secret like Hetty Sor- rel’s in “Adam Bede." We mention no more at present. Private Reception Last Night. Last evening a private view was given of some pictures at the Somerville Art Gallery, 82 Fitth avenue, They are in charge of Mr. R. E. Moore, the accomplished expert, of 31 Union square, and | constitute, in the opinion of that gentleman, the first competitive sale of fine paintings by American | artists in which an effort has been made to gain for our home art just recognition, The claims upon our space this morning preclude more than a mere mention 01 the fact that the reception took place.

Neither the cavalry nor the Warm Spring Indians found the trail of the Modocs on their scout at first, but finally the Warm Spring Indians dis- covered the piace of retreat of the enemy, and Donaid McKay crawled upon them and counted forty Modocs, including squaws. He did not deem it expedient to make an attack upon them at that time, but it was expected that the troops and the Warm Spring Indians would attack them on the night of the 23d, It is now ascertained that in the arst day's bat- tle Bogus Charley and Hooker Jim were both wounded, A General Indian Outbreak in Eastern Oregon Anticipated.
