STORIES OF WHITE BUFFALOES.
A Wlcrtl mill Thrill In ; ; Inillnti Story
An IntofCHtliic tjcttcr from
General Itrlsbln ,
TOUT Nior.u ui.v , Neb. , July 14. [ Cor'
respotidoncn of the UIK : ] Crossing over
from Hock Creek eight miles fuitliurtip
wo came to S.inil Creek , a "White Huf-
falo , " tlio Crow Inilians call it. It is
about twenty feet \viilo with steep proci-
itious banks anil i.s dry in daytime ,
iinnin water only at night. It is a
nest womleriiil stream anil has a curious
attached to it. Hero , say the In-
Hans , in early times yra/.eil an immense
lunl of ImlValo , umlcr the leadership of
m immense whlto bull'alo that was a
pirit The Indians had then { rreatvil-
HKfs on the stream anil lived oil of the
ull'alo. Ono day a party of Indians
atti'inpteil to kill llio white but-
'alo to gut his skin , and wounded the
.mmon o brute lie imniodiately rushed
lowu to llio water , drank it nil ui > and
lisapiioarod into the earth. There being
10 water in the stream thu Indians hail
o move away. The bullalo nil died for
ivnnt of water and a great famine he in
which destroyed many Indians. For
Ihroo years they had no meat to eat only
roots , herbs and an occasional turnip.
At length the Good Spirit relented .some-
what , sent water by night in the stream
and a few bulValo , uut he never restored
the line holds the white buflalo had anil
he Crows have never been so well oil'or
, iad sunli good luek sinee tliey killed the
white bullalo as they had before
\Vo reached the stream , or rather the
bed of it , about noon and found it entirely
Iry. The sand was erisp and almost
Ittbly , it was fao dry , The wind blew it
up in clouds and no one would have sup
posed for ono moment that water was
anywhere near. Toward evening moist
spots appeared in the bed of the creek
and by dark drops of water were seen
oo/.ing out ot the sands in the center ot
the eiianiu'l. 15y 10 o'clock one could not
\ \ all ; over without binkin < ; over shoo top
in the wet band. Hy midnight a stream
eight to ton inches deep and twenty feet
wide was running swiftly and btoadily
from bank to bank , 'lowtird morning
tlie water began to abate and at daylight
stopped running. Uy noon not a moist
spot could be scon and the stream looked
dry as a powder horn. 1 am told that in
winter the water runs in the same way
under a thin coating of ice. Parlies
crossing it in winter and not knowing the
peculiarities ot the stream have cut
through the ice and buen astonibhea to
tind beneath only a dry bed of sand. This
curious stream is a tributary of Hig
Perry river and empties into that stream
about tt'ii miles below where the road
crosses Sand crecK.
Wlllll ! BUFFALO.
Speaking of white buffaloes a great
many people think they are a myth. I
suppose there never was a ical white
bullalo , but 1 have seen one or two nearly
white , and so different from the other
bulfaloes that the Indians called them
white "While stationed at Fort Keogh
only a few yeais ago a white bullalo was
shot on tlie Powder river , and its skin
brought into Miles City. I examined it
and found it a veritable white buffalo , as
the Indians said. The hair was cream
color , and so nearly white it would pass
for white. The Indians have a great
veneration for these boasts and hold
them as sacred. Tliey believe them to bo
possessed of a spirit , and sent by Aloneds
( God ) A great many tilings arc done in
the name of the white bullalo , and if
there is ono near a tribe nearly every
thing strangu or unnatural is attributed
to the white bullalo. Jlr. Ueldcn some
years ago tplrt irv > i most singular story
about a white bnll'alo and an imposition
practiced in the name ol a bntl'alo upon a
Urow girl.
AN INDIAN UOMANCi : .
Mr. JJcldcn said : Onee there lived on
the 15ig Horn river , at tlio place where
Fort Smith was afterward built , a Crow
chief who had a most beautiful daughter.
Manv of the young men in the tribe
courted her and were anxious for her ,
but her father would not part with her
unless he received one hundred ponies ,
and as no warrior was able to civo so
much for a wile , she was obligeil to re
main single. A young chief , who loved
the maiden dearly , and desired to possess
her , urged tlio old chief , her father , tore
duce the number of ponies , but ho only
became more morose , and iin illy de
clared no one should marry his daughter
unless he had one hundied ponies that
had boon captured in battle.
As such a thing was impossible , the
young warrior despaired , and shut him
self up in his tent and refused to cat.
The girl , who loved him dearly , sent him
word to be good of heart and persevere for
she would bo faithful to him , and die
rather then marry any other warrior.
Greatly encouraged by this message , the
voung man ate again , and all went along
smoothly for several months. The lodge
of the maiden was pitched close beside
that of her father's , and occupied by her
alono. Often at night the wily old chief
thought ho houid .strange noises in his
daughter's ledge , but , when questioned ,
she always denied thatshc had heard any
noise , or that anything unusual had oc
curred.
Ono tlay. however , she could no longer
conceal her shame from her mother and
confessed that she was about to bnar a
child. When tlio oltl chief heard of it ho
was greatly enraged , and assembled his
council , that measures might bu taken
lor putting her to death , and thus wiping
out tlio dikgracn of the family.
When the council was assembled , Ilia
girl was brought before it , nnd her father
sternly commanded her to explain the
cause of her disgrace. To tha astonish
ment of every ono , she came not as n
guilty wretch , but with head nrect , and a
clear , Hashing oyo. When any of the ohl
men questioned her she looked disdain
fully at them ami bndo them hold then
peace , for she was a chief's ' daughter and
would answer only to her august father ,
Her oonduot greatly pleased the chief ,
and ho said , abide , that whatever might
bo her fault she was n real Crow anutll
to bo his daughter.Vlien \ commanded
by her father to relate all that had happened
ponod to her , eho arose and said : "Ven
crahlo fattier , and you , my noble chief ,
somu moons ago , ono night , a strange
thing happened to mo , such as perhaps
never happened before to any maid in
the world. I was sleeping in my lodge ,
by the side of my noble father there
when suddenly I heard a most poenliai
noibo as of hoofs and some animal walk
ing. I bccamo conscious of something
being in my teepee , and , being greatlj
frightened , Hay still. Presently I heard
the coals being scraped together on the
hearth , and blown Into a llama. When
It was light 1 looked , canceling to see
man , wlicn 1 would have called to m.\
father , but , strange to relate , I saw , no'l
a man , but a white bull'alo. Ho walkci :
upon his hind feet , nnd I was so tcrrilloij
I could neither speak nor move , Hi
carne to my bed and sat down , and 1
fainted awuy. When I awoke ho was
gone. So ho came every night to kei
mo , and each time I was as much frignt-
oiicd as before anil uttcrlv uuablo to cal
out for help. The animal was very care
fill not to hurt mo with hia hoofs 01
horns , and how it came about I can not
tell , but In a fmv months.I found mysol :
in tlie condition you now see me , and ]
have no ono to blnmo for my nvisfortuiu
but tlio white bull'alo. "
The chiefs had lUtunoJ tothisharangin
witli great paticnrc , and when she had
done , the chief asked her when the white
bull'alo had last visited her , and she re
plied , "When the moon was full anil that
he would como again the lirit full moon. "
When her story was finished , she was
conducted back to her lodge , and the old
men fell to debating about the matter
Most of the chiefs did not brlicve the
s'ory , for they said that such a thing as a
white bullalo tliey had never seen in all
their lives An old man arose , however ,
and said thoi-o was onee a white bull'alo
on the phhis and that he did strange
tilings , often being een in the clouds nnd
walking on water. Tin * statement great
ly Confused the council ami they fell to
debating anew At last a chief , who was
very old and wise , said that it must bo
possible for a woman to boar chiidien
without beitip with a man , for many
years ago , when ho went to see tlio ( treat
I'ather at Washington , tlie white man
took him to hear their great medicine
man , ami tlio medicine man told of a wo
man who had brought forth a child with
out lying with any man , and this all the
white people believed. The child was not
only born , but ho Used many years and
became n very gieat inedicino man. and
when ho died ho rose to heaven.
At last it came the turn of tlio young
warrior who wished to marry the girland
lie rose and said :
"I do not doubt the storyof thogirl nor
question her chastity. Undoubtedly a
most extraordinary thing has happened.
But till things are possible to tlin ( heal
Spirit , and if lie came and visited our
daughter in the form of a white uull'alo ,
it is no more than AV.IS related by our
brother about the daughter of the white
chief. "
This speeeli was received by all with
niiicl1 'avor , and the great chiet , who had
not spoken a word , adjourned llio coun
cil , stating ho would call them together
at some future day , to talk further con
cerning the matter.
The next council had little talk , and
almost unanimously agreed the young
girl should be put to death , when the
young chief , her lover , rose and said , as
it was near tlio full of llio moon , when
llio while bull'alo would como again , ho
begged thit the execution of thosentence
of the council might bo delayed until alter
the full moon , when , it nothing occurred
to corroborate the girl's story , she should
die. This was readily agreed to. and the
pipe was passed around , to = eo in whoso
hands il would go out lliat ho might bo
selected to mount guard over the girl's
topuo , and watch for the white bull'alo.
The pipe went out in tlie young chief's
hands , and the council adjourned.
hen tlio moon was at its full , the
chief took up his position so ho could see
the door of the girl's ' lodge , but could not
bo scon hinuclf. Ho also instructed her
if she saw the bull'alo , to call out , and ho
would inimediatejv rushtolierassistancc.
On the third night of the watch , lie
heard her scream , and rushed into the
lodge with his battle-axe , when ,
sure enough , there was a white bnll'alo
standing on his hind legs. As the cliicf
came tin the boast raised its fore foot to
strike Him , but the chief brought h's ax
down with such force that it completely
severed the hoof from tlio leg. The next
moment , however , Ihe chief was slruck
senseless by Iho oilier fore footand when
ho recovered his senses the buflalo was
gone. The old chief , who had heard the
noise of the conllictliad , risen and was
dressed , when the young chief , who was
still suffering from the blow he had re
ceived , camp to him and said the white
bull'alo had indeed appeared and that ho
had fought with him and cut oil'one of Ins
hoofs , wind ) was produced , and an ex
amination of tiie maiden's tepee showed
a pool of blood where the bullalo had
bled from llio effect of his wound. Great
cxeituinont spread in tlio village when
tlio news was made known and nearly
all remained up , being afraid to sloop.
Early next morning tlio old chief as
sembled the council and the debate be
gan. The father of the girl was greatly
exasperated and pronounced the whole
thing a lio. a fraud and swindle. Ho
said ho had examined the ground mound
his daughter's ' lodge , but could find no
footprints of a biiflalo , < yct every one"
must know that if so heavy an animal as
a bull'alo had passed that way , lie must
have loft deep hoof marks in the f-oft soil.
It was also absurd that the buflalo could
have got into the girl's lodge without being -
ing seen by the young chief. In his
opinion both the girl and the chief \vcro
a lying pair , and ho more than hinted
that'tlio young chief was himself the
white bull'alo. Ho recommended that
botli the girl and the chief bo shot to
death with arrows , at sunrise in the
morning.
This speech had great affect , and the
council almost unanimously voted to put
the cirl and tier supposed paramour to
death. They wore led away , placed un
der a guard , and bade prepare for their
fate on tlio morrow.
Now it so happened , that there was a
warrior in tlie village who had been very
sick , nnd many feared ho would die.
'J liis warrior was gro.itly admired and
feared , on account of his bravery and
prowess. No other wairior in the village
had slam so many of the enemy , no oho
was so strong , ami none so williiig to go
to'battle. This sickness excited much
talk in tlio tribe , tor all hated to loose so
valuable a defender. Ho would not tell
what ailed him , but lay all day long , his
hand placed under his robe , and ap
parently sulforing great pain. On the
morning of the execution , a giri of the
village passed by tlie siek warrior's ledge
and stopped to tell him about the fate of
the chief's ( laughter and the young 'hiof.
She found the warrior asleep nnd IIIH
hands lying on top of the robe. The ban
dages had lallen oil' and , to her surprise ,
she saw ho had but ono hand , tlio other
being gone. Quickly it Hashed through
her mind that the warrior had something
to do with the affair ol the white bull'alo
and she ran with all her uii'rht toward
the. hill beyond the village , wlioro tlio ex
ecution was to take place. As she drew
near the hill , bhn feared she would bo too
Into , for she saw tlio crowd part , the
prisoners led out and the bowmen take
their places. When she came up , the
young chief was making his hist speech ,
and the bowmen , with arrows on their
strings , were ready to lire as .soon
as lie should conclude , The girl
rushed up to the great motlicino man.
who was conducting tno execution , and
whispered something in his oar , at which
ho was grcatlv astonished. ThoivJio lis
tened , and the girl repented what she
had said' When she had done speaking
the medicine man walked between the
condemned prisoners and the bowmen ,
anil , raising Ins hands , bade thorn put up
their arrows. Ho then told the crowd ,
bowmen , prisoners and all , lo follow him
and see what they should see. Ho walked
down to the village , and entering the
sick warrior's ' lodire , bade him hold up
hib hands , At first ho refused to do so ,
but booing ho was found out. ho held tip
his hands , and exhibited ono hand anil a
bloody stump , The medicine man asked
whore the hoof of the white buf
falo was , and being told it
was at the old chief's ledge ,
ho bade them go and fetch it.
When it was brought lie took his knifu
nnd , splitting open the bkin of the Hoof ,
to the surprise of every one , drew forth
a human hand , which had boon noatlj
sowed up In tlio hoof. I ohliug it up , sc
all could see it , ho placed it on the stuniji
beside the warrior's other hand , and it
lilted exactly. Kvory ono now know who
was the white buffalo , ami all cried out ,
"Kill him ! " "Kill him ! " The old chiel
hastily assembled an informal council ,
nnd the young warrior was at oneo coir
donmcd to death. So the bowmen whc
were about to shoot the vouug chief nnd
tha girl , shot him as ho lay in his tent.
The old chief was so pleased when he
know Ids daughter had told him the
truth , that ho conferred her In marriage
on her defender , the young chief. The
child of thi ) white bull'ulo was barn and

ami his wife lived many yearn Imnpllr

An Account of Her Klrst MoetltiR
"With 1'attl At n Dinner Tatty ,
Boston Herald : I happen to know that
Mine. Adellnn Nicholas was quite aston
ished. not to say indignant , when she
heard that N'iU on was going to marrv a
count. There has never been any loyo
for each oilier between them. Years ago ,
when Paul was singing al llio Iialicns
and Nllsson al the opera , llioy fought so
shy of each olhcr that il was quite , a
social event when Mrs Haiti an English
l.tdy , bronchi the blondes Ophelia and the
dark ejed Hoslna togettier in her parlors.
Thai was during Iho winter of 18(18 ( , and
botli prime donno had jusl become en
gaged to be married one lo a successful
stock operator , tlie other to n blase noble
man connected with the court of Napoleon
111. Very soon alter this meeting
Nilsson gave a , lilllo dinner party
to I'atli in her apartment on the liftli
lloor of a house hero in the line do Uivoli
It was not a large dinner party Am-
brolse Thomas , Gounod , Prince Io eph
Pomatowski. Viscount Uiirti , Huron
Saint Aniand , a journalist named Cot-
Iran , M. Hoiuard , ami Patti being the
only guests present. Mrs. Hiehardson ,
the companion and housekeeper of Mile.
Nilsson , silt facing the lady of tlio houno ,
and the conversation was almost exclu
sively about music. Hut there was no
music afterward when the party ad
journed to the salon , although Gounod
smilingly oll'Jrod to accompany either or
both the divas on the piano.
This was , however , a very laugh
able and rather naughty trial of
strength , nothing loss than a wrestling
match between tlie iwo rivals. It was
not exactly a Graeeo-Homnn contest ,
for in that particular kind of athletic
contest thu contestants me obliged to
"strip to the waist , " and , of eourae.sueh
an idea could not bo entertained for a
moment , especially in the presence of
one's liituro snoso , and there was no way
for getting rid of Hou/.and. Neverthe
less , inasmuch as the two singers went
for each other for all they were worth ,
there was a plentiful display of under
wear and hosiery , and in the end Milsson
put Patli fairly on her back amid great
applause , which was led by tlio viscount ,
who always enjoys that soil of an enter
tainment.
The only one in the party who was not
very gay that pigh wast Nillsou's lianee.
She made the acquaintance of Augusto
Rouzaud long before she acquired tame
and fortune. She was then studying
music and she boarded out at ISaligiiollcs
wilh an English lady , who gave tier
lessons in that language. Among other
pupils who came to study English was
Mile. Joannio Hu/aud anil a wann .friend
ship soon aprangup tier and the Swedish
girl. Later on Mile. Kou/.aud invited
Cliiistme to her homo , and it was there
the singer made tlie acquaintance of the
man who subsequently became her hus
band Young Hoimird talked so much
about Nillson that ono day his father ex
claimed : "Man Dieu' ' To hear you go on
ono would suppose you intend to marry
the girl. "
"That is precisely what I am going to
do , " retorted the son. Thereupon there
I was a quarrel , and Aiigiisto lolt the pa
ternal roof forever. lie had ItO.GOl francs
which his mother had left him , and with
this sum ho commenced to speoulalis on
Ihe. bourse. Then Nilsson made her debut ,
and her rapid success caused young
Roti/.aud to hesitate about marrying her
until his fortune could bo more in accordance -
cordanco with tiic largo income that she
was earning. J'lic Franco-German war
drove NilSEon away from Paris , uml while
she was in America earning "hor pile"
and buying lots on tlio bluff back of
Pcoria , lie was mounting guard on llio
fortilications of this capital. Tlie war
over , they mot in London , and wore mar
ried iu Westminster Abbey in 187' ! . Ac
cording to their marriage contract the
fortune of tlio wife , staled lo amount to
00,000 francs , was to remain at her own
absolute disposal , as wore also all her
future earnings , and it was expressly
stipulated that the husband should
never have any claim to exor
cise any control o\cr his wife's
private allaim. The following year
Kilbson returned to the United States and
her husband remained in Paris to carry
on Ins stock operations. Lalcr on. how
ever , ho gave up speculating on the
bourse , and during several years accom
panied his wife on all nor professional
tours , acting always as her agent or
roprcscnlalivo. Becoming disbsuisliod
with his queer position , ho linally , in
1871 , asked his wife to sol him up in Ijiui-
ness , and she did purchase for him a
share in Ihe business of M. Molusbon , a
member of the board of brokers. In
January , ISS'-i , Hou/.aud became insane
and died within a month thereafter in n
private madhouse , where ho had been
placed for treatment. His death was
quite a shock to Mmo. Kouxaud-Nilsson ,
but she soon recovered from it , and ,
although bhe was faithful to his memory
as long as mourning looked becoming , 1
fancy she was real glad when she could
go back to bright colors again.
1 know not if their second marriage
will lead to the divorce of these two grunt
artistes from tlio art in which they liavo
won so much fame as well as fortune , and
yet I am bound to acknowledge that their
remaining on the stage is a serious hin
drance to tlio progress of other singers.
l&oth & Patti and Nilbson are gelling well
on in years and can afford lo yield their
places to younger and prettier divas. But
they do not boom disposed to "let go their
grip" bo long as they can tind specula
tors like Abbey who will outrage them at
$3,000 a performance , as ho has just done
with Mrs. Nicholas. This , wo are as
sured , is to bo her farewell , her last fare
well , tour in America that Is , it will bo
if Abbey puts up the preliminary deposit
which la Patti wisely insists upon. Ho
has gone to see what Maurice Gran can
do tor him out of JScrnhardt's receipts ;
and , if lie succeeds in getting $00,000 out
of that speculation , you will tee and hear
Mrs. Nicholas this winter ; otherwise you
will not. As for the tiituru Countess Mi
randa , she will maku her farewell tour of
America in llio autumn and winter of Ifrl
A Hint to
Washington Critic : An Austin tncr
chant , while visiting Dallas , made
friendly call at the store of a man whc
was in liis line of business , During the
conversation the Austin man said :
"Don't tlie drummers almost worry the
life out of youV"
"Thoy call on mo at the rale of about
Ion a day , but they don't annoy mo very
much. "
"How do you manage to get rid ol
thorn ? "
"Very easily. When , for instance , a
wlilsky drummer comes in and begins tc
talk business , I buy a do/en barrels ol
whisky from him. I never argue witli
the drummers. 1 just buy whatever they
want to toll. "
"Hut what do you do with all the
goods * "
"I cancel the order as soon as f ho drunv
mor leaves the store. I have regularly
printed blanks which my clerk tills out ,
and which are mulled to his house at
onco. Just before you came in the drummer

MII.VN , Italy , July } . [ Corrospondcnro
of the Unr.J The other day wo visited
by invitation lite studio of the young
nitUtlUva. Although about thirty two
years of age , lie has made an o\cel out
reputation for him elf as a per rait
painter , not along among the Ital'.ans ,
but among many English and American
travelers who frequent Milan.
About half past four in the afternoon
we wore shown across a sunny loggia or
central court , ( in which several pretty
liltlu dark-eyed children wcro toddling
around ) and ushered into a dark MMi-
bnlc , which was separated from the room
beyond by a heavy curtain of oriental
stuff. Tills was pushed aside veiy sud
denly , and a most fantastically dressed
figure bowed us in with great cordiality
It was Signor Ctiii'-cppo Hivn , and the
room wo entered was his studio. Sever
al easels wore scattered around holding
portraits in different stages ot rompln-
lion , the walls wore covered \\itli rich
draperies , cat teens , studiea.and sketches ,
anil innumcraijio canvasses wore strewn
on all sides. The artist wore a long ,
silk dressing gown of brilliant Homan
color , much longer on ono side than
on tiio other , and gathered in at the
waist with dark blue cord and tassel. His
unusually tall figure and decided Van
Dyke beard made his costume appear
still more odd. Ho had just finished a
largi portrait of ono of the ministers of
state , and n few months ago one of tlio
preMitont of Venezuela. Last year while
on Lake Como the American prima
donna , Miss Lillian Xoidica , sat for him ,
and an exquisite likeness was almost
completed , when she was suddenly called
to England. She will bo hero again in
September , however , and Iho finishing
touches will then bo put on the canvas.
Signor itivn also painted splendid portraits
traits of Mrs Norton and Mi s Ella Hus-
soil , llio latter the succe--ilul prima donna
of tlie Italian Opera company now at
Covent Garden. Hut his chef d'lpuvrc is
in the cxl.ibition at Turin , and represents
Catherine Do Medici reviling Maryqueen
of Scots. We saw the cartoon , which
was very largo , and quite remarkable for
Iho boldness ol e.Noeuiion displayed.
A UKAl'Tirt'l. I'ALAfi :
has jusl been built here by the Society of
Fine Arts for a permanent exhibition of
Iho work ot Milanese- artists and that of
those living in Milan. The building is
of grey stone and very relreshing in its
architectural simplicity and elegance
On tlie second lloor over the first vesti
bule is a deep alcove , open to the ( street ,
and almost tilled with tropical plants anil
llowers. Comfortable seats are placed
before the wide stone railing , and one
could scarcely lind a pleasanter place to
rest at any time. Theic is bul one objec
tion to any part of the palace , and that
is that the ceilings seem too low for the
si'/.e of tlio rooms. Fiom the street you
enter a wide "court , " as it is called , ex
quisitely decorated , and having in Uiu
center an immense pyramid of plants.
Passing through a tiny gate , you lind
yourself in the vestibule proper , which
contains , besides the paintings on the
walls , several bronze statuettes and busts
and a lovely marble fountain , the largo
bowl of winch is raised some three feet
fiom the lloor , and represents a beautiful
shell with a little fisher girl standing on
a mound in it , clinging , apparently , to
the shrubs and llowers beside her , anil
attempting to throw her net into the
water , which is splashing almost over
her foot. The delicate execution docs
justice lo the design in every particular ,
and the sculptor , Pandiani of Milan , has
rocehcd congratulations fiom all sides.
The walls on Ufa right and on the left are
taken up by two immense has reliefs ,
ono representing the entry of Napoleon
HI into Milan into 185 ! ) , the great Arch of
Peace , the people waving and the chil
dren strewing llowers botoro himand the
other , the battle ol Magenta , in which
"
the Austrians wore so "badly defeated
The municipality of Milan bought both
of these bas-reliefs when the exhibition
first opened in April , but decided to let
them rcnuiu whuio tlioy'artlor the ben
efit and pleasure of the public. The
painting ot chief importance in tlio vesti
bule represents Napoleon parting from
Josephine , presumably alter one of those
sad interviews at Malmaf-on. Passing1
through tlio doorway on the right you
enter "Saja A , " and there lind many of
the best pictures of the collection Two
by Houvior show a strong imitation of the
linesso and careful handling of Meisson-
nior , and tlio cnt'cs ' have objected to
thorn bomewhat , apparently solely on
that account. Ono is a scene in Venice
and tlio other a study from life ,
called "La Provvidon/.a. " In the
same room is exhibited by Pado Sain
( an aitist of a good deal of prominence
in Italj ) a buries of pain lings of places of
interest in London. "Oxford Street in n
I'og , " "Trafalgar Square , " and "Ilydo
P.trk" are the liest , but farther on the
artist quite surpasses himself in a marine
entitled , "On the Mersey , Liverpool , "
A great many tiny llshing ho.its are
shown , in the boautilul light of a golden
sun-set , and anything fao rich , so efful
gent , so thoroughly satisfying in coloring
and conception have not seen since
our farewell visit to the incomparable
marines of Claude Lorraine in thu
Louvre. In one of llio olhcr rooms of the
exhibition hero , the entire south wall is
taken up by an immense work represent
ing the much loved Duke Carlo Kmaiiuclo
II of Savoy on his death bod. Knowing
that the people wore wailing around
llio pahico for .some news of him , ho
ordered the doors thrown open , and so
in the picture Iho great ante-chamber in
lillod with groups of reverent , weeping
citizens straining to obtain a lust look at
the dearly loved laco. The harmony of
color and cleverness of execution almost
make ono tool Iho profound emotion and
awe expressed in every face and liguro in
tlio fore-ground. Valaperta , the artist
who belongs to the old school of art
rather than to the miv , chose a grand
dramatic subject , and in no wise failed to
do it full juhtico.
Uut it would take columns to mention all
the really good work exhibited , not only
in oil , but in otcliiniin , bron/.e and mar-
bio. Ono tiiimr I mus > t add , however , is
that in choice of subject matter at Joust ,
the modern Italian school scorns far in
advance of tlio Fronuh , for although the
Italian artist may bo less original than his
mercurial neighbor , ho certainly sur
passes him m dignity and delicacy of in
spiration. Many pictures in the ex-
Inbition hero have boon bought by
residents of Milan. Turin. Verona and
othur cities of northern Italy , and to-day
the palace will close for a fortnight to
lilt tlin vacancies made by tlio sales , and
alter the light in nome of thu rooms , The
collection is open to tlio public frco of
olnirgo , oxcopl oi < felo days when tlio
