WASniNCTON, D. C,
Editor Democrat;
Since the establishment of the Cor
coran Art Gallery in Washington the
Capital of the United States has be
come quite an art centre. No city in
the country, perhaps, can show as many
painters who, either as professionals or
amateurs, wield the brush and dabble
in colors. A, life school of art has been
established in the city, and I am told
that fine physical specimens of both
sexes are standing as models.
There is some expression of disap
proval among American artists of what
they call a disposition on. tha art of
the trustees of the Corcoran Gallery to
encourage foreign artists, and to ignore
native American talent. There is doubt
less some truth in the impeachment, but
the trustees, whose duty it is to select
and purchase the pittures, deserve more
praise than reproach for the discrimina
tion. True art belongs to no section ;
the Kesmos is its patria, and to ennoble,
idealize, and pertuate, its patriotism.
The gallery contains a few pictures; by
American artists, of real merit, but the
worthiest pieces, it cannot be denied,
are foreign subjects by foreign artists.
Among he most imposing pictures,
both in size, subject, and treatment, is
"Ctesar Dead," by the great French art
ist, Gerome. It is said to be only a
study of what he subsequently repro
duced in a larger picture, where the as
sassins are represented fleeing from their
ghastly work. Hem only is seen, on
the blood-spattered marble of the Sen
ate floor, the gashed corse of Ctesar,
muffled in his mantle, retaining even in
the helplessness of death the imperial
dignity of the first of Roman emperors.
The picture shows a thorough knowl
edge of color, form, and perspection,
and, like other pictures by the same
artist, is expressive of intense dramatic
feeling.
Among the pictures ia one remark
able for its historic associations as well
as for its excellence as a work of art.
It ia the "Adoration of the Shepherds,"
by Mengs, ami it was bonght from the
collection of Joseph Bonaparte, who
purchased it in Madrid during tha brief
time his great brother was able to hold
him on the Spanish throne. The artist
has reproduced the conception of Cor
reggio in his "Holy Jvight," by making
the light of his picture emanate from
the infant Jesus.
The " Death of Moses," a picture of
10 by 13 feet, is one of the early ambi
tious essays of Alexander Cabanel, a
French artist, who has since become
famous. The painting, though merito
rious in some of its details, is upon the
whole unsatisfactory, if not shocking,
for the artist has attempted somothin?
too high for mortal reach a portraiiui .
of Deity. It was the purpose of Caba
nel to represent the death of Moses as
described in the 34th chapterof Deuter
onomy. The Almighty is represented
throned in air, pointing with one hand
to the promised land, but indicating
with the other that Moses is net to en
tc there. Groups of angels sustain
the majestic form of the Jewish leader,
who lifts to God a face expressive of
reverence, resignation, and trust.
One of the. largest pictures in the
gallery is the ' Drought in Egypt," by
Porteals, a Belgian artist. The subject
ia taken from the 43d and 44th verses
of the 78th Psalra : "How he wrought
hia signs in Egypt, and his wonders in
the fields of Zoar, and hath turned their
rivers into blood and their floods that
they could not drink." Anide from the
power portrayed in the expression of
such intense suffering, the finely drawn
groups and single figures furnish abund
ant examples to the student of sacred
historical subjeets.
A pieture that lias been very much
admirp'l and copied rpfn-psents a French
lady iu the cjtuiue ot" the time of Louis
XI. walking in a forest attended only
by her dog. For harmony of color
and rare grace of form this painting, by
C. C. Compte, is unsurpassed.
"Niagara Falls," by Church, is one of
the most remarkable productions of
America's greatest landscape painter.
It may be said that it represents all the
stupendous scene, not omitting sound
and motion, for these are powerfully
suggested in the relentless sweep, swirl
and plunge of the massy waters. It is
such a realistic study of the awful cata
ract that the beholder half hesitates to
approach too near the canvas.
Mr. Church, who seems to delight in
water scenery, has another picture in
the gallery, " A View of a River in
Grenada," which is perfect a's a composi
tion, and the foreground of tropical fo
liage, as well as the background, in
which the snow-crowned Andes appear,
are worked up with the delicate detail
and power which distinguish all the
paintings of the eminent artist.
The Corcoran Gallery is receiving
every week valuable additions to ita al
ready rich and varied collection of
paintings, bronzes, statuary, busts, and
bas-reliefs from the antique.

HAYES' TITLE.
The decision in tha case of Ander
son establishes the fact that Hayes had
no legal right to the vote of Louisiana,
under the laws of that State. The
Electoral Commission would have been
compelled to decide to the saino effect,
if it had investigated the legality of
that vote. But it held that there was
no power to inquire into the manner in
which the vote of a State had been de
clared, arid hence found Hayes elected
on the face of the returns as they were
received by Congress. Now tho Supreme
Court of Louisiana decides that the
"consolidated statement," for altering
which Anderson was convicted of for
gery, could not be lawfully used in tho
canvass of tho vote of the State. As
the Returning Board canvassed those
statements, and not the original returns,
it follows that the vote of the State
was not lawfully canvassed. The Su
preme Courts of Florida and Louisiana
having now effectually invalidated tho
certificates of election given to the
Haye3 electors of those States, it re
quires considerable assurance for a man
who is ouly "technically" President, to
cling to the office.
FRIDAY APRIL 26,
ESItiEASB IX WAS.
It is now as certain as anything can
be that ere long England will bo en
gaged in a great war with Russia. She
has gone too far to recede, and could not
do se without the total loss of prestige
and national honor. She has long had
an interest either in the possession of
the lurkish Empire itself, er at least
the preservation of its integrity. And
nothing would persuade her to consent
to the destruction of the latter save the
occupation of the cities and forts of th
Turkish Empire by her owh forces.
She possesses a great empire in Hin
dostan, and has long practically domina
ted tie Mediterranean. She has long
possessed its keys, Gibraltar, Malta and
the Ionian Islands, of late years ceded
to Greece. She possesses a controlling
interest in the Suez Canal. From the
Land's End to Point de Galle, by the
Pillars of Hercules, past the dominion
of the Pharoahsand those of the Queen
of Shaba, she has for nearly a century
possessed an international highway.
That ia aow threatened. The Musco
it is at tha gates of Constantinople,
and from thence to the possession of
Syria and Egypt, and tbo isolation of
tha Suez Canal, is not far. Behold her
ocean highway broken, and communica
tion eut with India and Australia
Such would appear to be the line of
the future march of events, unless Eng
land can drive back Russia to the point
whence she started. This she can do
only by war. Russia has poured oat
an infinity of blood and treasure, and
has fought her way after many labors
and trials to the gates of the East.
Will she now permit those who sat by
looking on to tell her that she must go
backt No; certainly not. Will Eng
land, having advanced so far, recedel
No. What remains! War.
England sees that it is inevitable and
has baen trying to array Austria on her
side. But Austria fears Germany, and
it will not be. With Austria at Eng
land's back, and Germany and other
nations neutral, Russia would have a
hard time of it. The first mora wonld
probably be to place an Austrian Arch
duke at the head of Austro-Poland,
which under Austrian rule, is all but
independent, with its own legislature
and government; proclaim the resurrect
ed kingdom of Poland, and call on the
Poles of Russia to rise. England would
support the movement with a fleet and
an army landed on the shores of the
Baltic Austria and Ilunyi -r would
attack the Russian in Turk- , nn.l the
Crimea might be again iuv:tdt-J.
Without Austrian cooix-ration Eng
land could, it ia true, arouse Poland,
send an army to the assistance of tie
Turks and call theiu again to arms; but
Knssia could excite indui and Irelaad
to revolt, back both with money, arms
and officers, and then it would go hard
with fterfije Albion. .Defeated in such
a war she would be treated like Turker.
She would have to recogniro Irish and
Indian independence, while Ku&sia
would compensate herself bv the annex
ation of the Punjaub and the swallow
ing up of whatever remained of the
Turkish Empire. Many think that In
dia is Mussulman and that England
would derive strength from Jier Asiatic
possessions. This is a mistake. The
Mohammedans form only a fourth of
the population of Hindestan they were
the ruling caste, and are and have been
the most bitter enemies of English
domination.
This is the solution. It is certain
that England will be involved in war,
and that she will not have the assist
ance of Austria. It is uncertain, how
ever, where or how this war wiil end.
It mar bring on another war, as the
Russo-Turkish war is about to bring on
this. One of the immediate results
will be an advance in the price of wheat
and all articles that are bought or sold.
This will give new life to the producer,
and business of all kinds will bo pre
ternatarally active. Russian cruisers
will be on the lookout for English mer
chantmen, and the result will bo that
most of the carrying trade will fall into
tha hands of the Americans Such
appears to be the course towards which
things are invariably tending in the Old
World. o. Jr. Journal of Vomnieree.
THE MESSIAH LOSSES.
Official reports state that the Russian
losses in killed and wounded during the
late war amounted to 89,304 officers
and men. Among thoss were ten gen
erals killed and eleven wounded. One
prince of the imperial family and thirty
four members of the highest nobility
of Russia fell on the field of battle.
Of the wounded, 36,824 are already
perfectly recovered, and 10,000 more
will be able to leave the hospitals dur
ing the next few weeks. The propor
tion of killed and wounded to the to
tal number engaged was very large, one
out of every six men who went into
action being either injured or left dead
on the field of battle. In the great
actions of the late Franco-German war
the proportion of the killed and wound
ed to men engaged was nearly. the same,
being one sixth in the battles of Worth
and Spichoren,and one-eibgth in the bat
tle of Mara-la-Tour. The returns show
that one out of every eleven wounded
men received into the Russian hospi
tals died from the effects of the injuries
received. During the whole campaign
only two men were punished with death;
one for the crime of desertion, and the
other for robbery, accompanied with
violence. On the other hand 20,000
rewards were given in the form of dec
orations, promotion, or awards of money,
the Eighth Corps, which so long held
and defended the Shipka Pass, veciving
the greatest proportion.
' Sxodgrass says that young ladies of
eighteen are like arrows, ihey can t
get along without a beau, and are all in
a quiver till they get one.
Actresses have thair pictures taken
when they are young, and when they
are old their lithographs do not part
from them.

In the course of his lecture in
the Methodist Protestant Church on
Wednesday night last, Jonah Boughton,
.sq., the great temperance advocate,
whe for the past four or five evenincs
has been holding, with marked success,
meetings in this city m behalf of the
total abstinence cause, made an affect
ing illustration of the evil effects of in
temperance and the misery and wee
consequent upon a too free indulgence
in intoxicating beverages, by referring
in plain but forcible and graphic lan
gaage to aa instance of a drunken hus
band's harsh treatment of his helpless
and dtqtendent wife and children. He
spoke with feeling of the happy days
whan the object of his remarks had
taken to himself a blushing bride, when
man and woman had joined hands and
Uvea in mutual confidence and love, aad
ef halcyon years of placid matrimonial
life, during which three lovely little
ones had blessed the union ef two hearts
that beat as one. Then with a brief
reference as to how the asan bad. bv
some trivial incident, beem indaced te
partake of the fiery liquid, to admit
through the passage of his threat the
thief that was to steal away the braia,
he teld ef hew after months of terba
lent strife, which perpetually banished
peace from the little household, the wife
and mother was at length compelled te
seek refers beneath the reef ef the city
jail, and unfold her troubles to the
officers of the law aad ask protection
trom the creel treatment of an inebria
ted husband. The earnest speaker then
assured his hearers that the incident to
which he referred was mot the work ef
an imaginative mind, but an actual fact,
and closed by asserting that it had oc
curred in our own Christian community,
and that the despairing woman a appeal
for protection had been made within the
previous two or three hoars. The effect
may be imagined, and at the conclusion
of the lecture upwards of one hundred
persons signed the pledge of total ab
stinence.
TMB COST OF WAS.
From recently published official re
turns it appears that between the day
en which the war was declared and the
signing of armistice, the Russian army
of the Danube captured fifteen pashas,
113,000 officers and men, 606 guns of
different calibres, 9,600 tents, 140,200
muskets, and 24,000 horses. Is
addition, 200,000 small arms, yata
ghans, and pistols were taken from
Turkish irregular troops, and also 13,
000 lances and daggers. The Russian
army in Asia captured daring the war
fourteen pashas and 50,200 officers and
men, 662 guns, 16,000 tents, 42,000
muskets, 18,000 horses, and immense
stores of ammunition and provisions ef
all kinds. The number of fire-arms
and miscellaneous weapons taken from
the Asiatic irregular troeps of the Porta
was also, it is stated, exceedingly large,
but no details are given. In Europe,
as in Asia, a vast quaatity of rice,
bread and udt was seized, as well as an
immense number of cartridges and a
great quantity of loose powder. The
Servian troops also acquired a large
booty during the short time they were
engaged, their trophies being returned
as 238 guns, 10,000 muskets and thirty
seven standards, besides ammwnitiea,
provisions and horses.
An Irishman, fresh from the old
counthry," saw a turtle for the first
time, and at once made up his mind
to capture it The turtle caught him
by the finger, and he, holding1 it at
arm's length, said : "Faith, and ye'd
better loose the howlt ye have, or I'll
kick ye out of the very box ye ait Jo,
bejabers 1"

TBI TALCE OF EJIEMIES.
The following paragraph is taken
from the Memorial Sermon, delivered
by Bishop McTyeire, of the M. E.
Charcb, South, en the death of the late
Cornelius Vanderbilt:
He had enemies. Such will-power
and success, such independence ef ao
tion and decision of character, make
enemies, so sure as the sun breeds mias
matic exhalations.
What use could a man. be to the
world to live four-scare years, and dur
ing an that tune make no enemies! jSo
friction, no disturbance, ne opimoa, no
trouble, no collision ; but non-committal
and no account! It has been said that
enemies are better than friends, if yoa
enly know how to use them, and don't
kave toe many. The men wbo think
have enemies. The men who act have
enemies. No man is prominent anion?
his neighbors but he finds plenty of
enemies. Iho man who leads, no matter
whom or what, has enemies. Enemies
are more necessary to develop a man's
capabilities than friends. No man can
tell what he can do until he meets re
sistance.
THE BIBLE.
The Bible is betas discussed as it
never was before. The Bible in publie
schools, the liitile in bnndav schools,
the JBiUle at home, and the Bible in the
pulpit. The more the Bible is circu
lated and read the better for tbe human
race. England acknowledges that the
Bible has made her what bite is the
most civilized, and probably the most
virtuous nation on the globe.
ihe worst crime is murder; but sta
tistics prove that life is secure just in
proportion as the Bible is circulated and
read. v
In England, a Bible land, there is
one murder for every 178,000 inhabit- j
ants. In Holland, also a Bible land,
there is one for every 163,000 inhabit
ants. In Prussia, where tbe Bible is
less read, there is one for everr 100,000
inhabitants. In Austria, half-and-half
Bible land, there is one for every 57,
000 inhabitants. In Spain, where there
ia no Bible, there is one for every 4,113
inhabitants. In Naples, where there is
no Bible, there is one for every 2,750
inhabitants. In Rome there is one for
every 930 inhabitants.

Of one thing girls may be sure, and
that is, that the young men who make
the best sons and brothers will also
make the best husbands. And voting
men may bo equally sure that those
girls who are the best daughters and
sisters will also, as a rule, be the best
wives. If a your.g man, before he is
married, is destitute of those affections
and principles which come out in filial
obedience, fraternal courtesy, and a con
trolling sense of duty, he will be equally
destitute of them after he is married.
The mere fact of wedlock will not change
the fundamental principles of bis nature.
He will be essentially the same human
being after marriage or, at least, after
the honeymoon that he was before.
The same principles hold true with re
gard to women. The girl who is duti
ful to her parents, and industrious, un
selfish and truthful, will be almost cer
tain to be a blessing to him who gets
her for a wife.
Success is Society. The secret
of success In society is a certain
heartiness and sympathy. A roan
whs is not happy in company cannot
find any word in his memory that
will fit the occasion; all hia Informa
tion ia a little impertinent. A man
who is happy there floda in every
turn of the conversation equally
lucky occasions for tha introduction
of what be ha3 to ?ay. The favor
ites of society, and what it calls
whole touts, aro able men, and of
mora spirit than wit, who have no
uncomfortable egotism, but who ex
actly fill the hour and the company,
contented and contenting.

said te eaten commence at the fret. To
keep these .extremities warm, thsrsforf?,
is to effect an insurance against the al
ost mterrattabie liat of disorders wnioii
spring out of a "slight. caM." First,
never be tightly shod. Boats or shoes
when they fit too closely prer.3 against
the foot and prevent the free circttLttioa
of the blood. When, on tha contrary,
they fit with comparative looseners, tha
blood gets fair play, "and the space ll-ft.
between the leather and the stookipgs "
are filled with a comfortable supply cf
warm air. The second rnla is, nem
sit ia damp shoes. It is oftea imagined
that unless titer are positively wet it is
not accessary to change theia." TSiu w
a fallacy, for when tho least tuunpness
is absorbed into tho sole, it ia attracted
nearer tho foot itself by the htntt, and
thus perspiration is dangerously check
ed. Any person, tarty prove tkis by
trying the experiment of uegWctinat this
rule. The feet will become coU and
damp after a few moments, although on
taking off tho shoe and warming tliera
they wiil appear quite dry.
