It was such a man this Washington needed as a spy. Washington Irving, in bis "Life of Wash ington," thus refers to Nathan Hale, whose name had just beelf used by Major Tall-mailge to illustrate to Major Andree, his prisoner, the possibility of bis meeting the same fate at the hands of the Americans which Hale hud met at the hands of the British: "The fate of the heroic youth deserves a more ample notice.

The untrimnied millinery and ribbon departments occupy one entire floor in the new annex building. These departments are thoroughly up to date with all the newest conceits for spring. I'ARTICrLAULY FOR WOMEN.

The leading millinery department in Greater New York is one of the principal attraction of "Bauland's." Its new location is in the new building, where it occupies two entire floors, the main and mezzanine, fully three times the space it lormerly occupied. The trimmed hat section claims for ils lociftion the mczsuinliic floor. The par-bus are pretty and cozy, and bore are displayed the works of the hailing modiste. Two htitu that attracted a deal of attention are a. very stylish and striking picture hat', the design of Caroline lioloux, in fancy yellow straw, with a tan i drafted with black velvet Tn pteated iff.

ao tini-liiiiir a Lou drapery in the cases, dressing cases and toilet tables in abundance. The display of upholstered furniture for the parlor also takes up a "great deal of space. Rockers and chairs of every variety are also here In bewildering assortment, while the display of metal bedsteads, and bedding of nil descriptions occupy one entire room and is one of the largest in the city. The lace curtains and upholstery section in the front portion of the third floor is filled with dainty, new and interesting laces all the staple kinds of laces that are always here in profusion and many extreme novelties not seen elsewhere. In the upholstery department there is a complete assortment the very latest importations from the highest to the very lowest in price silks, velvets, linens and cotton stuffs in a variety of patterns, weaves and quality to meet any emergency or effect.

SOME OF THE SPECIALTIES. The picture and picture frame department is located next to the curtain department. Here one can spend an hour or two in looking over the immense collection of subjects, which are all appropriated framed. A recently enlarged carpel department is also on the third Hinm-. This department is displaying the largest selection of carpeting in its career, pretty mo-qui'ltes.

handsome velvets, hody Iii-usx-ls of many exclusive tapestry and ingrains; also a complete line of oilcloths, linoleums and mattings. There is also a tine collection of rugs in both Smyrna and Oriental. It is safe to say that never was the carpet section anywhere larger than is to-day, for at no other time during the next six months will there be more styles shown. The sporting goods section contains a full assortment of well known stocks. Cam-ems and photographic supplies of all kinds also occupy a good portion of the tnird The music books departments now occupy four times the space they formerly did in their new location on the third floor.

Its growing popularity demanded additional space and all the popular as well as classic music of the day is sol 1 in this department. The second floor of Ho establishment is the parlor floor, and the many items of interest to be seen on this floir are worthy of special mention. In the cloak and suit department, occupying the major portion of this immense floor, there appears to he The Mammoth Establishment of The Joseph H. Bauland Co. THE REWARD OF ENTERPRISE.

The "Great Cash Store" la Now Numbered Among the Blggeat and Beat of Brooklyn' a EstabUsh-' menta, Whereas One Tear Ago It Waa Comparatively Unknown A Tour Through the Big Building Described. The great towering building of Joseph H. Bauland Company will celebrate its second anniversary to-morrow. Al everybody knows, the big dry-goods house haB flung itself right into the heart of the shopping district nn lower Fulton street. For many years Baulund's estah- h'bbment was thought to be on tlie "hoodoo" side of the street, to ute a vulgar but quite an expressive phrase.

Presently, however, there appeared flaming cards in every trolley car and on the roads which said variously and determinedly: the conductor to stop nt "If you want a good thing and if you want it, cheap, go to "Liptnn's Tea at Bauland's!" and so on until the women folk, who practically do all the shopping, said one to the other1'. "Who is Bauland?" "Let us go and see it." They did. They arc going yet to see- Banlnnd's. and it there is one tribute more than another that can be paid to a great dry -goods establishment, it lies in the fact that the popular "hoodoo" hue at last been lifted from one side of the bustling shoppiug street known as Fulton street. There is room for everybody and for nil the busy' hives of industry that jam up the but the point now in regard to Ban-land's is that where shoppers used to think that there was only one sidewalk on Fulton street they have come to the determination that there are two.

LIPTON AND THE SHAMROCK. By a singular coincidence Bauland's see-end anniversary occurs to-morrow. The place will naturally lie jammed, because there is everything to be seen. The coincidence lies in this, that Friday was St. Patrick's Day, shamrocks were on every corner, and it chances that the Irish yacht which is going to beat the Goldenrod is THE OLD TURNBULL HOMESTEAD, NO.

1224 FULTON STREET. HOMESTEADS. A House on Fulton Street with a Long Pedigree. THE TURNBULL FARMHOUSE. Built in the Eighteenth Century A Fine Specimen of Dutch Architecture Occupied at Present by at Scottiah Journalist.

The ceaseless march of business progress) and the unfaltering hand of time ia responsible for the removal of almost all but one of those ancient dwellings, the former homes of the Dutch aristocracy, which were frequently to be seen on a journey from the ferry to Kast New York many years ago. The old "Abbey," which waa once upon the site now occupied by the Montauk Theater, is remembered in veneration as a representative type of a building of "Ye olden time." One of the best and most interesting examples of Dutch architecture now existing in this borough may be seen at No, 1224 Fulton street, just to the eastward of Bedford avenue. This ancient house is now occupied by Mr. Seton and his family, and he very courteously informs "The Citizen" of many facts hitherto unknown regarding the history of the house and also give a picture of the dwelling. Mr.

Seton says thnt no house in the city has had so many stories related in regard to its origin and history. It would appear that the house was built in the early part of the last decade of the Eighteenth Century, and waa owned and occupied by the "Turnbull family," one of whom, I remember, was elected to the office of Clerk of Kings County, he being the first individual to hold that office. In later years the Turnbnll family intermarried with the Lefferts family, who lived on the opposite side of the old Clove (or Kloof) road, where their larger and much more pretentions mansion stood, and in consequence the public was often- led to understand that the subject of this notice was the Lefferts house. In later years It became known as the "Bejts House." but few, if any, care to desiguate it by the name of the original owner, Turnbull. The old house has a frontage of BO feet, and in depth of 48 feet, this being about square.

The hall is ten feet in width and runs the whole length of the house, so that In the old Colonial days of hospitality it must have been the scene of many stately receptions and cordial greetings. Four large rooms are downstairs, five uosfairs, and an attic which runs the length and breadth of the house, comprise the living accommodations. The old--fashioned fireplaces are marvels of mechanical skill, aud their comfortable appearance remind the writer of those in many ancient houses of Easthampton, L. I. The material used in construction and joists are all rongh-planed, showing that the adz was nlrme used in those days and that aaws, flies and nails were at a premium.

Time hath not told on its stability; the old house rests as solid on its beams to-day as it did a century ago, a fitting monnment to the honesty nnd skill of the builders of the days of our fathers. Of course there is a cellar, and because of the good old wine it contnined in "ye olden days" we leave it to tlie last, whether it were port, sherry or Rhine vintage these old families were partial to; we know not, but in those subterranean regions there are enough wine bins to turn the face of a Falstaff green with envy, and afford a temperance lecturer food for reflection as to their degeneracy. Now, there are a number of stories con-' cerning this house which can neither be affirmed nor denied. One tells of an underground tunnel of communication which ex isted between this and the Lefferts man Samuel Cousins, One of Our Early Engravers. EXHIBITION OF HIS WORKS By Frederick Keppel tc Art Clitics The Doings of Our Local Artists.

An exliibtion of mezzotint engravings by Samuel Cousins (ISM to 1S87) began on March at the gal cries of Frederick Keppel No. -0 Fast Sixteenth street. Manhattan, and will continue until March The mezzotint, it might lie well to explain at the start, diners' fnun all other methods of engraving mi metal plates. In mezzotint the engraver begins with a solid block and makes bis picture by supplying the while or the intermediate tones between black and while. This invention is claimed by Crime Rupert, military hero of the Fragile, who flourished in llilil, but Ludwig von Sicgen, a friend of ltupcrt, also claims the invention.

Samuel Cousins, though a very aide devoted bis talents to reproducing the work, of other" men. He was burn in Fxeler. F.ngland., in 1801. and at the age of V2 years he won a prize for drawing. In he was elected a member of the ftoyal Academy.

When he attained the age of 7-1 years he used to call bis work "solitary ijuiliiienient with hard labor." And this is the fi(te of most artists, for monetary compensation does not, as a rule, conle till the man is dead. It is interesting to look nt the work of this man now in bis grave. There is nothing cramped about bis engravings, for they are worked out with the thoroughness' of an executor working out the terms of a will. Here are a few of Mr. Cousins' best pictures: "Edward Copleston." Bishop of Llandaff.

In late years some of our most prominent women have taken to the study of art, and they know a good painting when' they see it, and they are able to point out its beauties and its defects. Miss Both-Hen-drickson has got most of her points on art from Mr. Hendrickeon, who lectures occasionally before the Brooklyn Institute, and who is an authority on art matters. Those who care to spend a quiet afternoon with profit and pleasure can do so nt the Institute of Arts and Sciences, where an exhibition is now in progress under the auspices of the Brooklyn Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and the exhibition will Inst till the middle of April.

Professor John B. Whtttnker and Mrs. Whittaker receive every Wednesday evening at their residence -on McDonough street. The professor has finished several paintings, and Mrs. Whittuker is always busy with her brush.

Mr. Ruger has Just finished a fine portrait of a politician, and as it is to be presented at a meeting of the club, he does not care to have the politician named at the present stage of the game. Mr. David McCosker, whose private art collection on Washington avenue is one of the sights of Brooklyn, is about to part with a few of his paintings and statuary. SIGHT-SINGING CLASSES.

Worst Accomplished by a Popular Brooklyn Society. The Brooklyn organization of the People's Sight-singing Classes Is in the midst of its second year successfully conducting five elementary classes, distributed through the city, besides an advanced class.

"He served in the army before Boston as a lieutenant, prevailed on his company to extend their term of service by offering them bis own pay, and for his good conduct received from Congress the commission of captain. He commanded a company in Colonel Knowlton's regiment in the following year. After the disastrous battle of Long Island, Washington applied to that officer for a competent person to penetrate the enemy's camp nnd procure intelligence of their designs, a service deemed vital in that dispiriting crisis. Hale, in the ardor of patriotism, volunteered for the unenviable enterprise, though fully aware of rits peril nnd the consequences of capture.

"Assuming his old character as schoolmaster, he crossed the Sound nt night from Norwalk to Huntington, on Long Island, visited the British encampments unsuspected, made drawings of the enemy's works nnd noted down memoranda in Latin of the information he gathered and then retraced his steps to Huntington, where a boat was to meet him and convey him back to the Connecticut shore. Unfortunately, a British guardship was nt that time anchored out of view in the Sound nnd had sent a boat on shore for water. Hale mistook it for the expected boat and did not discover his mistake until he found himself in the hands of enemies. He was stripped and searched, the plans and memoranda were found concealed in the soles of his shoes, aud proved him to be a spy.
