VALUK OF OLD MASTERS.
FIGURCS OF INTEREST TO THOSE
WHO LOVE FINE PICTURES.
Americans Not So Kuitlly Uurubuj;Ked a
Tbcj Ouc Were The High and Low
Water Marks of Funioua Painters Mu
rlllo'a Range from SIS to 81 25.000.
Tlie valuo of pictures haa boen verj
coijsidcrubly disturbed by the revelations
recently made. It has thrown suspicion
upon the method of sale by auction,
which has heretofore been so popular,
and suggests the ossibility that more
than one of the great picture sales of re
cent years have been in a measure
"cooked" affairs, in which prices have
been made to rise to a height by no
means in accord with the actual state of
the market.
Americans hare not 6hown quite the
same taste for "old masters" as have the
people of other countries. Once they
reverenced them on account of their ago
and gave high prices for their pictures.
But they were innocent then, and when
they awoke to the fact that most of the
old masters which they owned were bo
gus, they made haste to rid themselves
of the same.
Sinco then Americans have had little
to do with this class of pictures. Now,
however, they are beginning again to
buy them.
BIO AND LITTLE GEMS.
Following are some extreme and some
average prices of the pictures of men
whoso names are mentioned:
Jan Van Eyck An adoration of the
magi in tho Korthwick sale in 1859
fetched 2,100. Van Eyck's works are
scarce and much sought after. The pict
ure mentioned must have been an excel
lent example, for another picture of the
same subject was sold in Cologne in 1SG2
for a little more than $500. Only the
best of his pictures have sold for more
than $200 or $o00.
Ouercino Ilis finest works in the Lou
vre are valued at 4,000, 5,000 suid
G,000, the "Martyr of St. Peter at IIo
dena" being considered worth 9.C00.
Nearly every gallery in Europe has
some specimen of his work. During the
last century the highest price obtained
at auction lias been $2,400. Small heads
and less 6irnificant works have sold as
low as 10. A few single figure paintingf
have been sold at from 50 to 250.
Hans Holbein His works are abund
antly represented in foreign galleries.
Though one of the greatest German
painters his pictures have never brought
largo prices at public 6ale. A portrait of
a lady was sold in 1850 for about 2,000;
other portraits in recent years have
rarely exceeded 200.
Guido Reni Ilis "Rape of Helen" in
the Louvre has been assessed at 3,000.
His works are in all the European gal
leries. They have seldom sold for more
an 2,000. A "St. John" was sold in
1S53 for 3,400.
David Teniere More of his pictures
than those of any other painter have
been sold publicly. Ho is extensively
copied and imitated, but of a list of about
850 different sales of his pictures the
highest price ever brought for any one
W33 3,000 paid in tho Van Sassengen
dale, in 1852, for a painting called "The
Five Senses."
Ml'IULLO AND KT.B2KS.
Muiillo Tho greatest of the Spanish
school in point of value. There are nine
of his pictures in the Louvre. The most
celebrated of these is the "Ira!ii:iculate
Conception." for which tli3 French gov
ernment paid $125,000. This ij far in
excess of ail tho others, whie'u are rated
aj worth every where from $1,003 to $!:,
000, at which figure the "Holy Family"
has been appraised. His pictures figure
in 8 11 the principal museums of Europe,
and have often sold at auction at very
high prices. There were no less than
fourteen, .of lua uieturf in tho fsnctia

"immaculate Conception" belonged. Tito
"Flight into Egypt" brought $10,000; the
"Jesus and St. John as Children," 12,
000; tho "St. Peter Bound," $0,000; the
'Miracle of San Di
t: 1 o :
;o," $17,000; a
Monk," $5,000.
The rest of the pictures of tho collection
aold for from $1,000 to $5,000. The price
brought by tho "Immaculato Concep
tion" was the largest ever paid for a
picture at the time. It is doubtful wheth
er it would now realizo an equal sum,
as Murillo's work has not increased in
estimation, while new standards of tastes
Jiavo taken possession of picture buyers.
A lar.;o painting of tho very same subject
In the Earuiey collection was put up at
auction in 18&0, but was withdrawn in de
fault of a bid of $15,000. Since the Soult
Bale many of his works have been publicly
sold. Tho Empress Eugenie gave the
largest price brought by any of his other
pictures. She paid $9,000 for a "Sleep of
tho Infant Jesus" at tho Paturoau sale in
1357. Many of his works wero sold in
tho Aguado collection in 1S43. They
ranged from $18 to $5, COO, ct which sum
ono of his Annunciations was disposed
of. Ono of his pictures figured in the
Aspinwall sale here a few years ago, but
was without a buyer. It was subse
quently taken to London, where, alter
long negotiations, it was sold, presuma
bly at no very great price.
Ilubcns. being the princo of painters,
his pictures have naturally commanded
very great prices. Tho fact that he
worked much through his assistants has.
however, made a great inherence in
their value. Ilis work3 in
are estimated at 20,000,
$10,000, some of tho famous series in the
lifo of Mary of Medicis Li ing valued at
$30,000. Ilis single 'portraits are worth
about 2.000 to $5,000. Tho famou
"Chapeau do Paille," one of tho most
beautiful ortrait3 ever painted, was sold
in 1S22 for about $15,000. Few of lib
best works have sold during the present
century. Tho highest price brought at
public 6ale at any thuo was for an in
terior with portrait of the family of Bal
thazar, which brought $:io.(;00 at tho
Eardley sale in 18G0. Some cf his por
traits have, nevertheless, sold for no
more than $100. New York Commercial
Advertiser.
Women Blacksmith.
It is considered improper for women
to work underground in a coal mine,
writes a Dudley (England) correspondent.
Is it not equally wrong for them to toil
as blacksmiths? Tho scenes that occur
in the smithies, especially in summer
time, are quite opposed to tho accepted
notions of decency. Tho heat is intense.
There are the forgo lire3, tho red hot
pieces of iron, and, above all, the tre
mendous labor of hammering out the
iron. Even in wintry weather, with the
snow on the ground, I have been women
perspire at their work. In tho summer
it simply results in an indecent abandon
ment vt clothing. Tho fcllahin of Egypt
are better clothed than tho women ia a
smithy's Bhop on a midsummer's day.
Then, to bring tho olivo hammer down
with greater force, it sometimes happens
that two or three persons will spring on
the treadle at once. This is generally
done by boy3 and girls. They stand as
close as possible, hold each other by the
waist, and simultaneously spring with
tho right foot on the treadle. It is hardly
necessary to add that' the standard of
morality js i.ot high among tho members
of this trade, and would undoubtedly be
much improved if the women were do
barred from such work. Whether the
men alone could earn enough to keep
them ii a question not so easy to answer,
though there c;m bo no doubt that their
wages would greatly mcrease but for tho
competition of their wives r.ud their sis
ters. Philadelphia Telegraph.
There are two reasons why we donl

3!:iiin:rs of American.
The real ler.tof tho nianni ;s and morals
of a nation ii not by comparison with
other t;:itior.s, but with itself. It must be
judged bj the histoi ical, not by the topo
graphical standard. Docs it develop? and
how? Manners, like morals, are an affair
of evolution, and must often Ihj a native
product, a wholly indigenous thing. This
is the case, for instance, with the habitual
American courtesy to women in travel
ing a thing unparalleled in any Euro
tieun country, and of which, even in this
country, HowelisWnds his best typo in
the Californian. What takes the place
of it among the Latin races is the courtesy
of the high bred gentleman toward the
lady who is his social equal which is a
wholly different thing. A similar oint
of evolution in this country is the decorum
of a public assembly. It u known that
at the early town meetings in New Eng
land men sat with their hats on, as in
England. Unconsciously, by a bimplo
evolution of good manners, tho habit has
been outgrown in America, but r-rli.t-ment
slid retains it.
Many good results may have followed
imperceptibly from this same tendency
to decorum. Thus Mr. Bryce points out
that tho forcible interruption of a public
meeting by the opposite party, although
very common in England, is very rare in
America. In general, with us, usages are
more flexible, more adaptive; in public
meetings, for instance, we get rid of a
great many things that are unutterably
tedious, as tho English practice of mov
ing, seconding and debating tho pre
KfHbpil vot of tliiinlrs to tlif nrpsiilino'
the Louvre 1 oQicer at the end of tho most msignifi
$U0,0C0 and cant gathering. It is very likely that
even our incessant self criticism con
tributes toward thi3 gradual ameliora
tion of habits. In that case the wonder
is that our English cousins, who criticise
themselves quite as incessantly, move so
slowly. Harper's Bazar.
A Lar;e pendulum.
The longest pendulum on this continent
swings in the technological school at
Atlanta. It ia a heavy pear shaped piece
of iron attached to a brass wire forty
two feet long. The upper end of the
wire is pivoted in a steel plate so as to
cause tho least possible friction. Tho
swinging of the pendulum gradually de
scribes a circle on the floor in a direction
following the sun, showing in this that
"tho earth do move."
Directly under tho pendulum is a largo
circle divided into twenty-four parts, of
fifteen degrees each, to correspond with
tho hours of the day. Tho north pole is
placed directly under tho pendulum and
the meridians of longitude meet there.
Tho parallels of latitude make Fanaller
circles inside the first.
Dr. J. S. Ilopkins, president of tho
school, who made and put up the pendu
lum, performs the experiment as follows:
Tho iron is brought to the edgo of tho
circle in the meridian of Atlanta and let
swing across. Apparently it goes straight
across, but gradually it traverses the
circle in tho direction taken by tho 6un
and opposite to tho revolution of the
earth. Tho pendulum not being directly
over the axis of tho earth, does not move
ia exactly the same time as tho tsuri, but
falls behind 6ome hours a day. It is said
that if it were at the north pole, where
it would bo immediately over the axis, it
would traverse the circles in exactly
twenty-four hours, and at tho equator it
would not traverse it at all, for gravity
would operate to prevent. Atlanta (Ga.)

A Good Old Irish Maxim.
When George IV complimented Lord
Eldon, after a Christmas dinner at the
Pavilion, on the strength, of his head,
the chancellor quoted, amidst the gen
eral applause of an appreciative com
pany, the famous old Irish maxim:
"Keep your back from the tire and don't
mix your liquors," which had been com
municated to him by Mr. D Lindas, who
received it from the jovial Duke of Rut
