A GIFTED YODNG ORATOR. Speech of Charles Morris at the Colored High School. The Divinity That Shapes Ou Ends Blui-trattd in Changing the Cone of Slayery to Blessings. 1 At the commencement of the Colored High School at Maeauley'a Theater, in this city recently, the valedictory address waa delivered by Charles 8. Morris.

He is woman; colored man, residing in this city, and is possessed of remarkable talent. Bis cpooeh waa highly coca ended, both for its iatrinaie merit and the oratorical ability of the speaker. As a specimen of what hac bm ecoeeaplisbed by bis race, bo full report will prove entertaining reading. It is no fellows: There la a divinity that snap oar ends. Rough hew them how we will.

There ia not. among all the gems with which Shakespeare baa so richly ladened his matchless treasures, a bolder or more beautiful thonght or an assertion capable of more numerous historic proofs than the one ottered when be Said: There is a divinity that shanes our ends. Rough hsw taeas how wc will. We do not believe in being as credulois as "Brother Gardner," aor as skeptical as Mr. Ingersoll, bat rather in bartaoay with that wise maxim: "Hear all, believe that which facta and reasoa approve, and reject that which is on wary to both." I know the world is full of both extremes.

there are repreeentatives of both classes here to-night. I hope not. There seems to be no end to human credulity. Xboro are people who believe in the philosopher's stone, in the elixir of life, in squaring the circle, in Symmes' hole, that toe san "do asove," that a horse hair will torn to a snake, toat it ia better to work for the Bute than themselves; and some believe in those magic numbers "4-1 1-44." aad the lottery man gets rich on ttieir unfortunate pes and saddles (perhaps some of yon understand those terms. I don't); but this lass is aisaply ludicrous.

The skeptic is unfortunate; he doubts everything and dees not know what he believes. He doubts the history of creation, and makes fun of tbe "Mistakes of Motes." He doubts tbe ex-letenoe of the devil. He has the rather negative consolation, however, of knowing that if there is such a being he shall form bis aoquaiatance somewhere in space, and perhaps he may discover that this sable gentleman is not very ceremonious in his treatment of visitors. Aye. the skeptic has gone farther than this; he doubts tbe existence of God.

He danies that there ia a superior being who governs the affairs of the universe, and that bis superintending providence extends over that portion of it which constitute this little planet of ours, bkeptics hoot at the idea that this invisible power is eontinnally employed in managing and controlling, by secret, invisible means, ail tho transactions of the world. They see it not manifested in the success aad failure of our plans; in the rise and fail of empires. believe that the weak have no guardian; the strong, no restraiaer; tbe injured, no avenger; the injurer, no atonement; that prayer receives no answer; an oatn, no punishment; that man is an evolutiouized monkey and tiiat even my classmates here are tbe great granddaugmers of the Ducu-ess "Orang-outang," the nieces of tbe Count of Cbjorpanzee, or linerai descendants of Lot-and Ladj Baboon. By what process of evolution they could have changed their primitive ature for theee dresses ot spotless white, pasted the exaaainatieu, and have stood here to-night scared half to death waiting for their aiplomaa, ia a phenomenon for which Mr. Darwin and his fellow-theo-nate offer no explanation.

TBI POOR SKEPTIC. The poor skeptia believes that heman existence has no purpose, but that, Tepsy-like. "Webber did born; jut growed." They acknowledge the law of gravitation, but deny the law giver, and are about as bad as the Hindoo who believes the world reits on the back of au elsphant, while the poor elephant supports twenty trillions of ions by kicking in tne air. Miserable man! Proud of being the offspring of in love with universal disorder. Look around you.

look beneath you, look above you, inquire of nature, interrogate history, and if you are not convinced tuat there is a divinity that shapes our ends rou must be one of that number who navini; eyes see net." ueoi-ogy tells us that the rocky nucleus of our earth ha been receiving constant additions of strata, constant development in the complexity ut toe structure of the lower animals; that tne solar rays collected and absorbed during the carboniferous age give heat, to man and motion to his inanimate servants millious of years later. These changes must have been for some purpose. Finally, when we look at tne wonderful and beautilul earth completed, with ad ita capacities for the supply of human want bubbling springs, irrigating streams, sheltering woods, protecting mountains, cloude, and rain, the aoiar ray shooting through tbe upper sky, the vegetable world, iurnisniug the cradie for the babe, the houe for tne aged, medicine for the sack aad (ood for the well we are convinced that these are the works of a divine artificer. This earth, the result of millions and millions of ysars of growth, was made for a sow being created in bis Hiker's image aad for his Maker's glory. Can any one imagine that man.

for whose benefit all these ages have been laboring, is the creators of chance, having ne hither objtbt than to eat, drink, ana be merry? higher destiny than to act his little part, pass behind the curtain of time, and be reckoned with tbe things tost were and are not i Are we for a moment to entertain the idea that this paragon of animals, so noble in reason, so Godlike apprehension, is thu to be left without tbe watchful guidance of his great benefactor! All history, both sacred and profane, ia full of evidences of the guiding band of that divinity "which shapes our ends." AH ILLlSTRIOrS IliUPU. Alexander, the Macedonian conqueror, famishes an illustrious example ot such guidance. Tne good which resulted from the splendid aehievemeata of this insatiable conqueror is positive and indisputable. True he did destroy cities, bat they were such as had been enervated by luxury. He slaughtered his tens of thousands, but they were corrupted by licentiousness, and, like Cromwell's troublesome Parliament, needed "to give place to better men." He bore the torch of civilization into Asia, and diffused among the semi-barbarians of tbe far Kast the literature, tbe laws and science of lirvece, and linked two continents tothewbeels of Srogress.

Thus did his conquests result in a igher good than personal vain-glory; and when, having reached tae "ne plus ultra" of military fame, he sighed for other conquests, that same invisible power that bad made his name tbe synonym of conquests conquers the conqueror; bis work is done and he joins the innumerable caravan in tbe silent Hall of Death." Tim passes on, and just before the birth ef Christ, preparing as it were the way for the spread ot tbe Uospel, we aee Julius Cesar repeating in Europe the work Alexander had accomplished ia Asia. For, after having conquered ttaul, reduced Spain, penetrated into the primeval forests of Central Europe, carried the victorious Roman eagle -Into Brittany, he constructed roada, established military posts, laid the foundation of future cities, introdared Roman laws and customs, and planted the germs of civilization in the countries of Western Europe. Thus he opened a continent to civilisation and prepared a way for the propagation of tne Gospel; and from Rome So Jerusalem went ont misslonariesdispelling tbe clouds of ignorance, breaking the idols of the Druids, and substituting the sublime teachings of the despised Sazanne. It, seemed that Europe was destined to be tbe resting place of the ark of Christianity during the Middle Ages'. And the invincible Saracen army that had sever net an equal, flushed with victory in hundred battled, possessed with tbe idea of universal conquest, marching in battle's magnificent array, with earned hosts and floating banners, are defeated bv a- litt.e band of Christians In a defile of tbe Pyrenees, aid the progress of Mohammedan religion is becked, and Europe delivered from tne dominion of the Prophet.

FRKaD OF CHRISTIAKTTT. Three centuries later Chris tiaaity baa trmd so rapidly that we see all estern. Karopa ia arms, with the emblem ef calvary -1 I r-. i i emblazoned on their shields, marching to Jerusalem to secure the tomb of Christ; and while they are not successful ia their object, yet an ever guiding Providence sanctified these crusades to the social and political redemption of Europe the dee traction of tbe feudal system; the abolition of vassalage; the encouragement of commerce; tbe diffusion of knowledge, aad the elevation of pub-lie morals. Again, when the continual wars of church and State were depopulating Western Eorope; when the Vatican was a diplomatic court and the holy sees, including Pope and Cardinals, were political schemes, wbea the spiritual duties of the church were forgotten in the mad struggle after temporal dominion; when license to the commission of crime and prayers for its forgiveness eonid be obtained for a few pieces of silver, tnen we see an unknown German priest ignoring the sentence of kings, destroying the hull of tbe Pope, making a breach ia tbe till now impregnable walls of tbe Roman Church; wresting the "keys of heaven" from tho successors of St.

Peter; delivering two-thirds ef Europe from the delusion of Papal Infallibility, and letting in tbe light of the Reformation upon the Christian Church. Ten years later Henry VIII. once the -defender of the faith," for the sake of a divorce separatee England front the Roman Church aad makes her tbe bulwark ef Protestant religion. Thus from a trilling cause, apparently on account of a woman, but really as tbe design ef Him who holds the- destinies of nations in his bands, adyrant is made a cola borer with Calvin and Luther, and England's greatest despot becomes her greatest reformer. Do these things look like accideata the result of an inanimate something wbioh the akeptie calls chanoe; the fatalist, deatinyl ANOTHER.

HANI FOB. DI VIS ITT. Uetbinks it is only another name for divin-ty. Robbing the rose of its name doee not destroy its beauty and tree ranee; and God, though called by another name, still possesses infinite power and infinite wisdom. Time rolled on, and the dearer light of another age revealed abuses which Luther failed to reform.

And the hallowed ground, fenced la by ecclesiastical interdictions, was aaia mvaued, and the sterner elements of the new sect went forth like the dove from the ark. in search of a resting place of peace and safety; and, after a feariui voyage tnat threatened to end in the ocean, landed on Plymouth Kock in 16SO. Oratory and poetry, painting and sculpture, have all made their best Hurts to represent the scene and arouse in the mind a proper conception of the great voyage. tbe voyage of JKneas and toe Trojans seeking a home on tbe Italian shores, nor the expedition of Jason and tbe Argonauts is more famous; nor, if they were true, have they contributed more largely to tne weal and woe of mankind. But six months before, an obscure vessel, whose name baa rotted with its timbers, landed its cargo of less than a hundred human beings on the soil of old Virginia.

Oratory has never apostrophized thaa anonymous vessel; painting has never spread it on canvas; no copy of the hopeless faces ef its passengers has ever been cbisled in marble. Peetry feund no inspiration in such a theme; no gifted lady has sung of them "Amidst the storm they sang. And the stars heard, and the sea And the sounding aisle of the dim wood Kaag with tne antheia of tue free. LANDING OF THE PILGRIMS. There was no outward storm; there was no song; these homeless pilgrims were not glad" to touch the new world.

The winds aud waters heard no prayer. These people knew no trod; tuey were African slaves, brought here as one cf the component elements in that grand design of universal civilization and redemption which had us origin in the court above, and in anticipation of which it was prophesied that 'Ethiopia shall stretch her bands to Ood. Tbe negro laborer in the South and the Puritan statesman ot tbe Xorth have contributed more largely, perhaps, thaa any other classes of' its lnhalitaats to form this Government and to steady it. There is an olu adage, "it is an ill wind that blows nobody good," which is verified ia the slavery ef the negro; for while it was apparently an inspiration of the devil, it ready was a school in a bich the barbarian Pagans of Western Africa were to be taught tbe first lessons of civilization and Christianity aad stern discipline, which soother state of existence, I believe, could have accomplished in tbe same time. It is true the teacher was rough, but the pupil was rough also; be demanded heroic treatment, and as he paid rather dear for his tuition, be should accordingly value the instruction received; rejoice that he has graduated from bis stern Alma Mater, aud show that be has well learned his lessons, by the practice of industry, economy and virtue.

THE DEATH OF SLA VERT. American slavery is now dead. Let its rongs not survive it. Let it not be like Mark Autouy Jsaid of C-Psar's virtues, but let toe evil be "interred with its bones," tbe good live after it and its victims, or rather us pupils, sanctified by the F.uler of the universe, will yet redeem a continent which Uod never iutended, ia tbe 'economy of nature, should lie there, the vast fruit-orchard of the world, unredeemed, uncivilized, uncbrutianized. Yes, Africa will be civilized.

God had in view the glorious achievement when that little Hutch sloop kidnaped its first cargo of human freight. The initiatory step has already been taken, and Liberia and Kierra Leone are to Africa what Jamestown and Plymouth wore to tbe United States two centuries and a half ago. Africa will yet be transformed from a land of darkness, superstllioa and idolatary into a continent ef commerce, civilization and Christianity. Tbe shouts of tbe savage war cry will be stilied, her spleadid resources will be developed, her broad rivers will be great highways, her fertile plains -will resound the thunder of the "limited express," ber cities will be tbe great marts of traffic, ber villages will be quickened with tbe pulse of electricity, her mineral springs will be tbe "elixir ofVUe" to ber impotent inhabitants, her mountains will be the summer home of her crowded cities, ber beautiful lakes will mirror tbe farms of a thousand pleasure boats, her seaside resorts will be tho scene of many a dialogue after the manner ef "liomeo and Juliet," aud perhaps many a young fellow whose affections are deeper than his pocket will have tbe misfortune to learn by sad experience what it is "to love not wisely but too well." Yes, humanity is the same the world over, and young fellows on another continent two centuries bence will find that it takes tbe consent ot two to start a matrimonial partnership, just as it did in the daya of Shakespeare. But Africa will be the scene of nobler event; invention will subject otber forces to the service of men.

science will utilize ber vast resources, education will enlighten the mind. Christiauity save tbe soul, and civilized nations will regard Africa as tbe home of the savage no Pnlianthropists will ceise to mourn over ber as tbe "benighted continent." I know there are those who consider this prediction wild and whimsical; but they have dwelt whh little reflection npon tbe sjrreat changes that are constantly taking place; they see not the hand of Providence building a Christian empire on tbe ruins of a pagan dynasty and transmitting the torch of civilization from one continent to another, always onward, ever upward. WHAT GOD HATH WROUGHT. When Greece was listening spellbound to tbe lyre of Homer, she never thought that an unknown island beyond the "Pillars of Hercules" would by her Milton produce a greater epic than the Iliad, or eclipse ail poetry, all all other literature by tbe production of ber Shakespeare. Caesar, when be wrote of "oniues tiallia," never dreamed that one of the "three parts" would rival her Home in ber sway that a Napoleon Bonaparte would carry the ensign of France from the Arabian sand to the Polar seas, conquer Rome and float the imperial tricolor from tbe dome of the "Capitelian Jove." The sovereiges of Europe little dreamed that tbe despised suppliant, wbo virtually offered them a hemisphere, was inspired to take possession of America, not for any crowned head of Europe, but in tbe name of humanity and for the sake of the despised and oppressed of every country and every clime; nor did the pioneers at Jamestown, St.

Augustine, and Piymeutii think that the savage hordes who swarmed upon them from all sides would gradually become extinct; that their war whoop would be stillod, their shouts of victory would no longer ring through the mountains aad valleys; and that tbe last impotent descendant of these warlike sires would be fed and clothed at tbe expense of the United States Treasury. Tne siguer of tne Declaration did not realize that here, on common soil, governed by the same law, under one flag, woald be gathered tbe inhabitants of three continents, tbe descendants of the three sons of Soah. Here dwell Jew and Uentiie, Christian, Pagan, and Iafidel, the Caucasian, African, and Mongolian. I Can any one witness this apeetaela and retain the couRtER-JQUBNAL: louisville; his skepticism regarding an all-wise divinity "which shapes our ends!" THE MOST PKRS-ECT GOVERXM KITT. Hera we find a Government embalming the splendid results of ages of experiment, extending across a continent from ocean to ocean, and taking as ita symbols not any emblems of conquest or war, but red, white, and bloe emblems of one blood, purity, and fidelity; and, at we gaze on the starry folda of that glorious flag, undulating responsive to tbe whispering winds of tho upper air, we feel that the land ever which it floats shall "resist tbe empire of decay," and when tbe star of European civilization shall have revolved to the nadir; when England, like a gorged boa-constrictor, shall have perished of ber own greed, the star of hope shall yet reach the ascendant aad culminate ia the new world.

Here tbe Chinese will find a new way across the "Celestial river," and return with the glad tidinga to countrymen at the gatea of toe morning. Here European refugees will be drafted to support no standing armies. Here Protestants and Catholics will wage no religions wars. Prom here tbe negro, educated, refined, will, by constant, yet not exhaustive exodus, bar the torch of civilization to tbe headwaters of tne Nile. Yes, "there is a divinity that shapes our ends;" nye.

the same Uod who feeds tbe raveaa aad heeds the fall of a sparrow ia at the helm and guiding humanity ever onward. All the trouble, ail the national down-fails recorded in history are the result of man's rebellion against this peaceful guidance. Babylon, Nineveh, Phoenicia and Carthage, once resounding with tne commerce of the infant worlds, are now vast mausoleums; as dreary as death, as silent as the tomb'. A little later, Greece and Rome sprang into the foremost van of nations; but they too forgot the secret of their rue, and they tell. Tbe owl hoots in tbe decaying temple of the Olympian deities, the spider weaves her web ia toe palaces ot the great Athenians, and amid the crumbling ruins ef 'ancient Home, Gibbon sat and wrote toe preface of ber "Decline and Fail." bad, very sad, are the lessens whicn God has taught his wayward children; writ-tea with tbe pen of Time aad penetrated with the downfall of empires.

Ages have passed since the great conquerors of antiquity plowed up continents with tbe swora, and fertilized them 1 with blood; and the marble and brouze monuments erected to perpetuate their names bave crumbled into dun; but tae genus of civilization they planted have steadily grown, and the seed have been wafted across the Atlantic to another world. STEPPING STONIS OF CIVILIZATION. Tbe great battles they have fought were stepping-stones to civilization, Tne blood they sned haa been tue price of progress, and eaca succeeding age haa protitod by the experience ot its predecessors. Cau any one compare England aad America of to-day with lireece aud Home ot oid au nut see the immense strides civilization baa made since the days of Alexander and Cmsarl in ancient times progress was through the battles of ambitious Pagans; in toe middle ages religious bigots performed the work. How it done by missionary societies aad in the balls of legislation.

The scourge of one age becomes tae blessing of the next. The work commenced by a Pagan dynasty is fimshod by a Christian republic. The irun age ot matter is succeeded by tbe golden age of mind. Heroes of peace follow heroes of war. We now have intellectual tourna- menu, instead ot gladiatorial combats; reformation, instead of revolution; arbitrament, instead ot war; the niautie of tbe tyrant falls on the shoulders cf the philanthropist.

Truly Uod does move in a mysterious way. Freedom ot speech and tbe press, development of journalism, manufactories, steam, electricity, revolution in education, reformation in religion, discoveries natural science; astrououiy, writing tbe pbeaomena of the beaveusr geology reading tbe history of the earth theee are some of the wonders He has inspired man to accomplish. Sometimes we see through "a glass darkly," and our finite aiiuda leap to the conclusion that our credulity has gotten the better of our judgment; but a kind Providence lifts the vail tuat obscured our vision, and, in imagination, we follow tae ruins ot government up turuuga the trackless ether beyond the of Orion," above "Arcturus and his suns," on aud on, until, hnaily, witn a soul bowed with reverence, but exalted by security, we see angels appear on the battlements of beaveus and bang out over its jitsper waiia the sublime assurance that "there is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough new them as we may." LEGISLATIVE OFFICERS. Sergeant-at-Arms Railey 1 Tells Who He Thinks Will Be Elected, W. Owens, Charles Cffutt, and A.

G. Spalding Candidates lor Speaker Tbe Oiher Positions. Mr. Wm. Railey, for ten years Ser gcaut-at-Arma of tbe Kentucky House of Representatives, was in the city yesterday.

Mr. Railey baa been in bad health lately. and has been traveling over the State. He baa mat most of tbe newly-elected members of tbe House. lie was seen by a reporter yesterday, and gave an Interesting talk on tbe subject of tbe probable new officers, "In the first place," said he, "I am not a candidate for re-election.

I bave held my position. so long that I am tired of it, and am out on no canvassing tour, though this was supposed to be my motive for visiting Louisville. Still, I have been everywhere ever tbe State, except in Southwestern Kentucky, bave seen most of the members-elect, and aiiow pretty well (or whom they will vote." "Whom do yon think will be Speaker!" asked the reporter. "The only candidates out are ex-Speaker Owens, Speaker OiTutt, and Hon. A.

G. Spalding. In my opinion, Owens will get it. He and Ollutt are from the same Congressional district, but I think Owens will be supported bp the majority of the delegation. Ollutt is strong here in Louisville, as I understand that four out of the seven members the city returns are pledged to' him.

They are Jackson, lUsad, Letterle, aud Gernert. I don't known about tbe remainder of the delegation. Mr. Spalding is from Cnion county, and, I expect, will carry his section. Seven or eight counties in that part of tbe State were carried by tbe Republicans this year; so he will uot hare as strong a support from these as Cromwell Adair did last session.

Gen.Thoinas Harris, of Oldham, Blackburn's Assistant Secretary of State, is spoken of as a candidate, but be has not announced himself, so far as I understand. "For Clerk of the House there is hardly a doubt that Col. E. Polk Johnson will be reelected. He has served fur several years as Clerk and Assistant Clerk, and is sure to win.

His only opponent announced so far is Green Keller, of Carlisle. He is a good man, but will not be able to make a strong fight "Willis Ringo. of Hickman, is tbe only candidate out for Assistant Clerk. He occupied the position last year, and ia sore to be re-elected. "As 1 said before, I will not be a candidate for Sergeant-at-Arms.

Jake Corbett, of Ballard, is out for that position, and be will be elected. He was Blackburn's private secretary, and served as Enrolling Clerk last year. "For Doorkeeper, Bob Tyler, of Bullitt, is a candidate lor re-eiecuon. He has held tba position twice. There may be a number of other candidates, as a big tight is usually made for this position.

Tyler is a brother- in-law ox judge Richards, and Is Tory popular. "These are all the officers to be elected, as the Enrolling Clerk and otber officials are appointed. The Speaker has practically the naming of the Enrolling Clerk. "The moss important work before the Legislature," concluded Mr. Railey, "is a revision 01 tbe revenue laws, there is a cryiug need for this work, and a number of Representatives were elected on pled cos to undertake it.

So far as I have learned, no one has any detinue pian, and tuey prefer waiting to bear from ail wben tho session begin. This Legislature ought to accomplish some good, as there is no Senator to elect and no otber measure to come up on which a biz split is likely. Even the penitentiary question, has been settled, though an additional appropriation may have to be passed for She ddjviue branco." LEADING PICTURES To Be Seen in the Exposition Art Gallery. Borne of the Art Treasures to Be BhoTrn in LonisTille for the First Time Today Exposition Matters. The transept of tbe Art Gallery was filled with tropical plants and flowers yesterday, and in tbe evening when the electric lights were turned on again, presented a superb effect.

The draperies bung above the pictures contributed very much to this, and tbe reflectors which have been bung over the electrics lamps "n-iq the lighting very satisfactory. As many readers of the Coorixb-Jocrhal will visit tbe galleries to-day, a brief reference to some of the more important pictures nay be of interest. It would be impossible to mention all the pictures worthy of mention in this connection that would Involve little short of tbe whole list catalogued. The water colors in tbe vestibule bave already been spoken of, as have the four large pictures in tbe niches at the corners of the transept. The large canvas by Walter Gay, "The Apprentice." face the visitor as be eaters, with a strong aspect of realism, and the "Silver Birches on the Coast of Hcotland," by Ernest Parton a young American artist who has made a great reputation in England sneds light from ita sky -across one's path as he enters.

THk WEST QALLEKT. This gallery contains mostly very large paintings. Among those on tbe south wall are 'Charles Noel Flagg's "Cavalier," a figure which might bave stepped eut of tbe time of Charlea Harry Chase 'a York Harbor, JSorta Kiver," a picture which already hat been mentioned in these columna as one of tbe Rational Academy prize pictures ot this year; Edward Grenet's "Caprice of the Model," ahowing a young lady artist endeavoring to overcome the sulkiness of her juvenile model with bon-bons; George Wharton Edwards' Brooklyn bridge picture; a vigorous wood interior, by Wyaat; a striking hunting scene, with excelieutly painted dogs, by Sword, of Philadelphia, and a most remarkable marine, "With the Tide," by W. E. Norton.

This picture has a wonderful atmospheric effect; the sky is full of light, and tbe water is full of motion. It is such a picture of the sea as one sees aeldom. On tbe "line" is a vigorous Venetian picture. "Sunlight and Shadow," by Burr U. Xicholls; a charming view ef Venice by Samuel Column- a striking view of a vdlage on the French coast by 11a tt; a wonderfully vigorous river scene by Arthur Par ton; one of J.

G. Brown's most important street scenes, entitled "Street Gallantry," showing several newsboys and bootblacks grouped about a little flower girl; and one of Carl Brenner's famous forest li-teriors, ''A Wooulaud Brook." In tbe end of tbe gailery bang the "Custer's Last Charge," by John lder; "An Idyl." by Ellen hi. Baker; a large landscape, witn luminous sky. by kxuwiusii Van Kltoo, and below, oa toe line, Wuiiam Morgan's "Torning lTp," Wbittredge'a "Old Road to the iSea," Lieiiaas' "Summer Shower, England Coast," and Kdwiu Blasbfield's "Born in tbe i'urple." Tbe latter picture shows a mother with a child in her arms, explaining the liliutratious of an old missal. The picture is a barmouy ia reds, aud the sculptured elements m.

tue background are a combination ot the Byzantine and enetian. On the north wallUeo. lieK.Brush's peculiar painting, "Laying Away a Brave, holds the ceutral position. It a picture whicn will repay careiul study, though there will be many diverse opiuious concerning it. The Hgure of the despairing woman who has thrown herself on the ground in tus depth of her grief is enough to save the picture, even if tne rest were adjudged uuworthy of "the arlist'a talents.

On each side of this are the hue marines, "Ibe New Moon," bv W. F. Ricuarus, and "Marblehead Harbor, Sunset." by M. F. H.

Deliaas. Two other pictures on this wall, which should not be missed, are Tracy's very excellent picture of dogs showing two wonderfully realistic pointers watching a brace of quail and 'A Daughter of Eve," by Ithodu Holmes Nicholi. a Venetian child reaching for some bright roses lying on tbe top of an ancient dower chest, the whole being a charming composition in color. In THE NORTH GALLERY hang some of tbe most important pictures in the collection. The iirst panel, containing pictures by J.

B. Bristol, Benoni Irwin, T. VV. Shields, Lyell Carr and K. W.

Van Boskerck, is oue of the most brilliant arrangements ot color to be found in tbe bunding. All, too, are pictures which will repay study. "The Last Sacraments," the prize picture by osier, which hangs oa tbe center ut this wall, has already been described; it will especially interesting to Louisville visitors, since it is to remain here. Just beyond it, oa tbe 'liue," is a striking picture by Alfred Kappes, entitled "Rent Day." An elderly man, who is said to bear a resemblance to a well-known Louisville gentleman, has called upon an aged negro and his wife to collect his rent, and waits impatiently while tbe pair caretully examine each piece of money to determine its face uiuo. Near this is an important picture, by J.

G. Brown, "Four of a Kind," showing four old men telling yarns about their experiences. The pictures on the lower line of this wall, and, in fact, of this whole gallery, are remarkably fine, but a consideration of them must be deferred to a future time. On the end wall are "La Crepuscule, one of tbe prize pictures; "The Village Clock-maker," by and "A Flaw in the Title," byCaliga, described in last Monday 'a Cockier-Journal. The east wall contains Charlea Sprague Pearco's effective work, "Tbe Return From the Pasture;" William Bliss Baker's marvelous "Morning After the Know" concerning which a whole article might be written aud Arthur Parton'k "Winter." showing the breaking-up of the ice on the Hudson, with the Palisades on tbe opposite side of tbe river.

B. K. il. Kehn's "Aliasing Vessel," tue same artist's "Oid Wharves at Gloucester. and Gilbert Gaul's "Cold Comfort on the Outpost" are pictures bich will not soon be forgotten.

Turning the corner, where bangs lonoho's superb picture, 'The Shepherd" a picture certainly worthy to be classed among the prize pictures one enters THE EAST GALLEHT. The north wall is one of the handsomest in the buildiuc. Auioug its most noteworthy pictures are those by J. 11. Doiph, Constant Mayer, Eugene Vail and J.

H. Witt, on the upper line, and those by Bridgman, Irwin, the Moraus, Perry and others, on "the line. The end wall contains the prize picture by R. Swain GuTord tbe Coast," Wm. M.

Chase's large Holiandish stuly, and "Guinevere," by Alfred Fredericks which is destined to be one of the very popular pictures of the collection. On tbe south wad tbe "Taking tbe Oath of Allegiance at Vaiiey Forge, 11. T. Carisa, hangs in tue center, above tbe line, and "Cinderella and Her Fairy God- motner," iir. Fredericks, hangs below.

Other notable pictures on this wall are "The First Trousers, by Ben fold; "Sunlight ou the Sea," by Nicoli; "The Giant of the Valley," by Si.urtlelT, and Guy's "See-Saw, Dew," wuich was oue of last year's favorites, Bersons visiting the galleries to-day will enter by the para gate on Fourth avenue, where they will be admitted by showing an invitation card or a season ticket. The galleries will be open from 2 until 10 o'clock P. M. IS THE ItAIX BCILDI.VG. An interested public may leel assured that the Exposition proper wtil present a more attractive appearance on tbe opening day this year than it has done at any previous opening.

The building is more nearly filled than evsr before at this time; the exhibits are more nearly complete, and they are generally more attractive in appearance than they have heretofore been. Great attention has been given to attractive ejects, and the result is altogether admirable'. Every day adds new items of interest, and if tbe doors were opened to-day people would find the Exposition a most interesting place. Yesterday tbe scene was busier than ever before, and everybody worked with av will. A large model of an Artec temple haa been added to the Mexican exhibit, and will attract much attention by means of it peculiar architecture and ita curioua hieroglyphics.

The main aisle will be a siicoeaiion of beautiful novelties, most ot them being foreign exhibits. A number of Louisville firaas, however, wbo have space ia this aisle, will not be behind in competition. All over the building the floor ia well covered, and there are few of the nnaightly tare spots that bare heretofore marred the openings of the Exposition. Very handsome State displays are to be found In tbe north aisle, and in tbe machinery and agricultural sections of the building the exhibits are in good order. IXP0SITI03 ROTES.

IN THE CITY HALL. Statement of Money Expended by the City Engineer. The Finnjce Committee Orders the Sale or Some Real Estate The Major's Coal Contracts Approved. A meeting of the Finance Committee was held yesterday afternoon in tbe office of the City Attorney. Most of the business transacted waa of a routine nature, and waa merely ordering that credits be allowed the Tax Receiver on a lot of old tax bills.

A joint resolution ordering tbe sale of several pieces of real estate belonging to the city was approved. Tbe property consisted of the abandoned station-houses, one on Twelfth and Green the other on First and Green streets, tbe site purchased for a on tbe Cnne Kua road, a bouse and lot on Second street, and a small lot on Fifteenth and Kouthgate. They are to be sold aa op- portuaity oilers. The property on the Cane Run road was purchased during Mayor Jacob's administration, and tbe city undertook to build on it an expensive pest-house. The people of Parkland protested ao vigorously that the half-constructed building was torn down and rebuilt on a lot near tba Alms-house, at a considerable financial loss to the city.

The property was purchased of Joe Schulten at the price of 7.X)0. The dwelling bouse on Second street wag taken for taxes, some years ago. It is next door to Christ Church, and consists of about 250 feet, worth $40 a foot. It is now leased to a tenant. The Twelfth-street station bouse property is worth $35 per foot and the First-street about tbe same.

Toe lot on Fifteenth and Southgate street is 50x90, and has a curious history. It has been owned by tbe city so long that no one remembers for what or wben it was purchased. With the exception of the City Assessor none of the city officials knew of its existence till three or four months ago, when an old colored woman came to see Mayor iteed one day. She owns tbe adjoining property, and finding out ita ownership in some occult mannar, stated ber desire to purchase it. It is worth, probably, $400 or 5UO.

Jake Bickel was present at the meeting, as serene as if be bad never been beaten for office. He thought ita bad plan to sell tbe station houses, as the next Mayor might wish to utilize them.

The L. and railroad was awarded one contract for coal at 1 cents a bushel, and some of Mayor Keed's friends claimed that this was in the face of a bid of 8 cents from some other party.

Deputy Constable Mills and Mr. Shorty Smith, wbo indulged in a sidewalk fight a week or two ago, were both ready for trial when the case was called yesterday, aad very interesting investigation was entered into. From the testimony it appeared that tbe trouble waa caused by the little son of Mills, who converted the sidewalk into a velociped track, and drove his wheel at a reckless speed, warning the little children to get out of the way or he would run over them. The neighbors demurred to the actions of the youth on wheels, but his father told him to proceed with his fun; that be was a Deputy Constable aad aa otlicer of the Commonwealth, ana would protect him.
