OLD PICTURE SALES.
Huterplrcm Sold for Clirnnin Prices Ite
mlnUcences of Art Auction.
Long beforo tlio duke of Durcnl's col
lection of paintings had been taken from
the nncestral walls to bo brought ncross
tho Atlantic, New York wus noted ns a
picture buying town, and many of the
nuction sales of "raronnd antique" paint
ings of fifty years ago were quite as far
cical as thoso of today. Excellent pic
tures were brought from tho other side
by chance frequently, but the critical eye
of art lovers of that timo was too practi
cal to allow any undue indulgence where
more than a trilling sum was asked for a
work even of unusual merit.
It's nothing new in New York that
tho works of old masters should go
begging for a prico even near their
value." said an old artist, as he proceeded
to tell a story of somo peculiar auction
sales of years ago. several prominent
actors in which may bo familiar to old
New Yorkers of today.
In tho early fortiesnn undersized, dark
browed, keen eyed art dealer. Levy by
name, opened a small auction room for
tho sale of paintings on Broadway, near
Cortlandt street. Thero he sold at auc
tion every Saturday night old paintings,
many of which bore tho names of world
renowned artists of past generations.
Paintings of all kinds, many merely old
scrolls of canvas and some framed, were
knocked down at prices that would not
btaggcr n dealer in chromos nowadays.
Ono day a traveler, whojo funds had
run short, called on Levy and offered
him twelvo panel portraits of tho Cajsars
for an old 6ong. As Levy never told
what ho paid, nobody ever knew, but
certain it is that ho bought them at a
low figure, and on tho following Satur
day night placed theui in a row on the
wall and usked tho assembled critics,
consisting mostly of neighboring shop
keepers, "What am 1 offered for tho
whole Civsar family by Raphael?"
Mr. Levy couldn't sell them very ea
sily, but finally a bid of fivo shillings
apiece bought tho collection,
A year or two later Brett, a London
picture dealer of some note, whose spe
cialty was collecting the lost works of
great masters for privato collections of
the nobility, came to New York on a
hunt for tho Ca.sirs. After a long search
he found them in a small restaurant on
Nassau street, ilo offered tho proprie
tors $."i0 for tho lot. Tho offer was ac
cepted promptly, but two of tho por
traits were misMtig. Inquiry developed
the fact that tho thrifty restaurateur had
used them to kindle a fire, during a
heavy snow storm when it was difficult
to get wood.
The ten portraits accompanied Brett
on hi-s voyage back to London, and were
handed over to a delighted purchaser for
$10,000. I'i 'rre Flandin. tho old time
dry goods prince, was at that time an
art dealer, as were also Pad and Beau
mont. At a sale in tiio auction room of
the latter a work by Dunuid was sold for
2o0, and for days tho sale was tho talk
of tho town.
Ono of tho largest collectors of pic
tures at that time was Lunian Heed, a
successful merchant who lived in Green
wich htieet. Mr. Reed's gallery con
sisted almost entirely of works by Ameri
can artists. Many well known peoplo at
that time weio visitors at his gallery.
These pictures aro now in tho possession
of tho Historical society, at Second ave
nue and Tenth street.
About 1B10 Erustpusch, a German im
porter of pictures, brought over the
greatest collection of pictures over im
ported at ono time. In all thero wcro
40,000. mostly by German artists, but
among them tho works of Spanish, Ital
ian and French artists. Levy sold nearly
tho entire collection at auction at prices
of from 1 shilling to $100.
The last really largo auction salo of
pictures was the salo of tho RobertSmith
collection about ttvonty-fivo or thirty
years ago. Tho Smith collection was
mercilessly assailed on all sides and the
prices realized, with a few exceptions,
wero ridiculously low, Ono picture by
Van Dyko, however, brought a very
good price. New York Commercial Ad

ho angrily rebuked his nurso for the
solecisms ox her language. And when
Ids confessor mildly remonstrated, Mai

language." Soothingly, but not In too

very easy a distance, but tho pedantic

SOME SUPERSTITIONS.
A FEW OF THE POPULAR FEARS
FANCIES AND FAIRY TALES.
Didn't Itidlcvo In Glintt, but Afraid of

The probable truth Is that there is not
ono of The (5 lobe's readers who does not
at least half believe in tome suttcrstition.
Somewhere in your lives you have a
little private closet where you keep ono
or more pet superstitions locked up out
of sight of your friends, and, for tho
most part, out of your own sight. But
now and then vou unlock tho door, or
they get out through the keyholo; then
they look at you in the twilight witli
their weird ej-es. full of the mystery of
the past, and you Und yourself on your
knees before them. Perhaps you aro
half ashamed of them, becauso you do
not more than half believe in them, but
when hey get you alone they master
you. You are like Mine, do Stael. A
friend said to her one day, "Do you be
hove in ghosts?" "No," sho replied, "but
1 am afraid of them, though."
A LONESOME IJVDY.
Col. Ingersoll dedicated his first vol
ume of lectures to "Eva A. Ingersoll, a
woman without superstition." In tho
early mining days in California, when
selfish rascality seemed to be tho rule,
an old miner who had been repeatedly
"fleeced" was, very much astonished at
the remarkable honesty of a young man
who had just Kiid back some money
which had been given him by mistake.
Thinking ho could not havo many com
panions in such deeds tho old man
steppetl up to him, laid his hand on his
shoulder and said, "Stranger, don't you
find yourself awfully lonesouio about
these parts?" So I havo often thought
that if Mrs. Ingersoll is really altogether
"without superstition." she must some
times find herself "awfully lonesome."
1 remember, when a boy, that ono of
my brothers usedto wear about Ids' neck
a red woolen cord to prevent tho nose
bleed. Tho only thing clear in my mind
on the subject was that it did not pre
vent it. At any rate it used to bleed
very often, while the rest of us, who did
not wear one, were never troubled at all,
except in those cases that all who havo
been Itoys will understand, where a post,
or the ice in skating, or a snowball, or
some other boy's fist camo in somewhat
violent contact with tho most prominent
feature of our faces. I suppose, how
ever that there was eonio fanciful con
nection between the red of the string
and (lie red of the blood, and an incipient
homeopathy suggested that "like would
cure like.'' '
I also remember, when n child, how
somo of the larger boys used to carry
about a horse chestnut in their pockets
as a preventive of rheumatism. This is
one of the mysteries 1 havo never fath
omed. Only it does seem n willful per
versity for people to suffer so, just tosavo
tho trouble of carrying a horso chestnut.
Just as it seems pure malice in any ono
ever to die when one looks through an
apothecary shop, reads tho advertise
ments in the newspapers, or knows how
Dr. Cullis cures people by simply praying
for them, and then telling them they aro
well.
WHAT BAD DREAMS MEAN.
A friend told mo the other day that
when a boy ho always felt it incumbent
on him to spit three times whenever ho
saw a dead cat. Tho origin of this I will
not stop now to trace.
Not long sinco a lady acquaintance was
walking along tho street with a friend,
when sho suddenly felt herself, pulled off
tho sidewalk into tho street. Tho occa
sion of this sudden maneuver was tho
other lady's superstitious fear of walking
under a ladder that leaned against tho
wall in front of them. I havo learned
that tlua superstition is very common
and, perhaps, it is not wortli my while to
disturb it. For it might be decidedly
"unlucky"'to walk under a ladder pro
vided a man weighing 1200 was on it and
it should" blip: or in cao an uristeady
man with a "drop too much," should in
dulge in a further drop too much of a
looso lying brick from his hod. Though
in tho caso of the colored brother, who
stood serene while tho brick lay in frag
ments nt his feet, and who merely ex
claimed, "Look out. darl Uf yo' doan't
want yo' bricks broke jes' keep 'em off o'
dis chile's ho'dl" it was only tho brick
that was "unlucky."
I have an old acquaintance in Maine
who used to stick lus jackknifo in tho
headboard on going to bed to prevent his
having tho cramp. That is tho solo in
stance of that sublime faith with which
I am acquainted. But 1 havo known of
people who warded off tho samo uncom
fortable nightly visitant by scrupulously
arranging their slippers bottom up.at tho
foot of their bed.
A lady not long sinco went into a
jewelry store. Being at a comer it opened
on two streets. When sho started to go
out, tho salesman said. "Madaml you
have forgotten. " "Why what?" said she,
thinking of purchase or purse. "But you
camo in at tho other door," ho replied.
Then it flashed over her; and though sho ;
went on her way, sho remembered tliat I
it was "unlucky' to enter by ono door
and go out by unother, However it may
be about other places, I am really inclined
to think that it is unlucky for a ladv to
.
rrn intn n imrilrv Ktnrit nn mntinr wlitnli

door she goes out of; unlucky for tho
man who has to pay tho bills.
Then, again, it is unlucky to have a
bad dream threo nights running. This is
one of tho Eigns that I beliove in thor
oughly. "Aha!" you 6ay, "then you, too,
are superstitious as well as tho rest of
us?" Yes, i beliovo it is very unlucky to
havo a bad dream oven ono night. It is
a sign that your supper didn't set well, I
and also that you will not reel nearly so
well tho next morning. And if you allow
it to trouble you the next day it is another
bad sign a sign that you won't Bleep so
well tho next night, and also a sign that
you liavo not yet outgrown tho fanciful
dnom of tho world's childhood. Dr.
Savago in Boston Globe.
Virtue of Job' Tear.
"Job's Tears for Sale," is tha legend
displayed in the window of nn up town
drug store
"What aro JoVs Tears, and what aro
they used for? inquired a curious re
porter, whose uyes fell upon tho inscrip
tion. Tlio druggist in reply exhibited a small
pasteboard lxtx. The box looked liko
other boxes, suggestive of pills and other
uncomfortable things, but when tho top
was removed a number of small, bead
liko Feeds woro exposed. They wero
alniut the size of pea brans ud bhaped
like Prince Rupert's drops.
"These aro Job's Tears," said tho pill
compounder. "You see they aro shaped
as a tear is supposed to bo. They are
the seeds of a small, grass-liko plant
that is a native of India but grows now
largely in New England. It is a com
mon plant, but somehow, year by year,
tho seeds seem to be growing scarcer:
that is, they are harder to obtain in tho
market. And year by year tho demand
for them has increased among a certain
class of people. Have they any medicinal
properties? Well, only so far as the
gratification of a whim may lw attended
with good results.
"Sometime away back in the shadowy
past, some grandma started the story
that theso pearly affairs, if strung like
beads and hung nbout an infant's neck
during the teething period, would make
that operation a mild and pleasant pas
time, in fact almost a joy forever to the
child. I cannot say whether this is true
or not, yet I know that lots of young
mothers buy Job's Tears, and say that
with their assistanco it is really a
pleasure for tho baby to introduce its
molars to tho world. Job suffered
enough to bo of vicarious assistanco to
tho little ones, to say the least, and there
may betKomething in tho whim. Balti

Caulit liy an IZngine.
As a southern railroad train was sweep
ing round a curvo near Chattanooga,
tho fireman espied an enormous bald
eaglo on the track, and beforo the
bird could fly tho engine was upon him.
Ilo was struck and lifted upon tho cow
catcher, where ho clutched a beam with
his great big claws, and held fast. Bo
fore ho had timu to recover from his
fright and the shock of the collision, the
fireman had climbed along the footway
and attacked him. The man was deter
mined to take him prisoner and tho
eaglo was equally determined not to bo
captured.
The struggle was something unique
and terrible. Tho train was going at tho
rate of forty-five miles an hour. The
man had to hold by ono hand with all
his power to ono of the iron guards be
low tho headlight to keep his footing, as
the engino swayed from side to side and
bounded over the inequalities of tlio
track, while ho managed tho eaglo with
tlio other hand.
But his birdship was finally secured
after ho had nearly torn tho man's over
alls to shreds with his powerful talons,
which are fully four inches long. Ho
was carried back over the footway, fight
ing like a dc.uon.
Once in tho cab. the engineer went to
tho fireman's aid. and by hard work they
tied "tho king of tho upper ether" se
curely, though their task was no easy
one, as tho eaglo fought savagely with
beak and claws as long as ono of his cap
tors was within reach.
When tied he was spread out on the
cab floor, and found to measure soven
feet from tip to tip of tho wings. When
fully erect ho stood nearly two feet high,
and was altogether a splendid specimen.

behind tho apron of his cab. Theso

of tho streets, and with their rows of
