He hare seen that for a long time direct taxation w-as the means by which the reenue of the ministry was reooivel. Now tlie present fund hears testimony to the loving interest aud generosity of many of the earlier members of the church. In 1871 a music fund of J.SOJ was donated and more lately a Suuday school fuud was started.

Immediately upon, ihe clossiof the morning exercises all were invited to a dinner which had been prepared and was served by the ladies of the congregation iu the court halL This feature of the programme was unexpected by most, and was especially appreciated by those from abroad. The guests ware conveyed to aud from the buiiJlug in carriages. KARLY BISTORT Or THK CUCRCH. The aft moon session began at o'clock with a hymn, loilowrd by a prayer by tha Rev. Dr.

Ulea-sou, the city missionary of Brooklyn. The historl-cid address on "The Krly History of the Churvh." was then delivered by the Rev. It. Wilson, pnntor of tin church. Mr.

Wilson said: It would beimpo-silile It give anvlitiug like a history of this ancient chiinn iu this paper. Its history ia connected not only with this town but with Mew England. Its history is unique if only because or the migrations. I need notdwell upon the familiar struggle between the king or England and the Puritans endowed with the sireugtU of Ood. The stronger power of course prevailed, end the Piimans came to this country resolved to conform to any acts which were against the spirit ot the New Testament.

In the charter to settle Massachusetts bay wa granted them. In 10- three ships suited, aud the lirst settlement was made at Sau-ui. Tlieae men were not, as was tne ease wiui tne May- nower humble extraction aud means, tut most 01 tlieni ot the middle class, some of ample property. Two clergymen were Willi the company i sent probably through fear of tlie separatist in-! tluence iu Amcrtc. Tne church at the new Plymouth was organized in the stme way as that at the old Plymouth.

It la not positive if there was any covenant. Passages from Mr. Claps Dorchester) writings prove at .11 events that there were regularly organised churches in Dorchester, Boston and Watertown; so admission to membership upon conversion and some covenant would seem proli ble. The first meetings if the church were held in the holds of the ships during tne voyage of ten weeks, ijina was mane May nu, auu a setiieiuei.t begun at JUetaoan, now iKirchmur. New Engl i was then awilderness, and Boston without acitiza.

But" ia one year there was a good settlement ami the churches of Dorchester, Watertown. Boston and Salem in recognition of one another. There was no distinctive Oongregati nalism as yet not for years afterward, until men of such cecided opinion as Hather aud Hooker had come to ine colony. Persecution in England caused the colonies to increase rapidly and in 10 to the court was asked to allow a settlement in Connecticut. The request was granted, and beginnings were made soon after iu Wethersliold, Hartford and Windsor.

Tnere are three accounts one by Governor Winthron; the second by the author of the life of Ktcliard Mather; the third by Matthew Orant, from which we may ju Ige whether the church as a body came then to Wiudsor. Probably it may be said to have, lit KidO the remaining members followed from Dorctiestvr Many of tne men connected with tne church were very abie and prominent Mr. Warham remained la Wiudsor il years as pastor. Mr. Nathauiel Chaun cey, his successor, a son of the president of Harvard college, was at first opposed, but the court ordered the people to vote and he was accepted.

The dissenting minority were called Presbytetians. Mr. Cbauscey remained li years, and was followed by Mr. Samuel Mather who doubled the membership of the ohurch iu two years. The Rev.

Timothy Edwards father of tolin aiban Edwards was pastor of the first branch of the church, which the court granted might be established on assent of the mother church. This, however was not easily obtained. In 17C9 Mr. Marsh was ordained associate pastor aud during his pastorate took plaoe the seoesaioug to Windsor Bloomfleld, all necessary, but all at first resisted. During the Revolutionary war there was a dearth of enthusiasm, but during the years lwuO, 18'1, 1KH.

18 .1 and 1876 there were many additions. The average length ot pastorates bus been twenty one years. Many of the pastors have been men of great ability and' force ot character, though uiirecoguied by honorary degrees or titles. Dr. liacon was then introduced audaid; When the hay is gathered in the meadow you have seen the old mau or the boy folluwiug the cart with a rake.

Suh is my position in this assemblage to-day. In listening to the exercises this afternoon 1 was struck by the remark had this church a covenant in its early days? for that is what it all amounts to. Now, I dou't believe a coupleever made a marriage strictly by covenaut. Mtrriatre is simply an understanding that the mui will be a faithful husband, and Uie woman a true wife. All else is superfluous; more than that, it is apt to be mischievous.

When a boy I ouce saw a mai ried mau in the back yard of his bouse sawing wood; and lie was asked it he had agreed to do tiiut sort of work? Had there been any covenant in the marrisge to that effect, do you suppose? True congregaUoual-ism is simply a coming together by mutual consent of the members ot Curisrs church to do his will. An mteieating feature of this church is that it was arted ly John White for moderator. Th re were no ecclesiastical couitciliuen. 'i hat is not necessary. Who, fudged, was John Widte but the father of Puritan New England it has been claimed because Wint.lu-op, on leaving Enaland sent back loving letters to his friends he as still a member of the church ot Eugiiind, The very moment he and his followers got out of sounding of English waters, they were beyond the jurisdiction of juig-land and Archbishop Laud.

When they touched ttits shore they felt tnat ttiey were iu a new aud batter to do purer and stronger wura for tioj than ever the old church hid done. Ihs Puritans ware not -coders. VYby did they secede? Simply beoause if they had staid they would have been bung. They thought it much better to succeed. They saw a chance of simplifying aud purifying the church.

Look bock over the last 2.50 years. What changes In the time ot Charles and his chief adviser. Archbishop Laud, the question was whether Protestantism could stand, not alone in other countries but in Eogland itself. Take a picture of things as they are to-day how it would have astonished the organizers of the old church at Plymouth to be told that their descendants would be allowed such social, political and civil liberty as we enjoy would be assembled under a flag unfurled in every clime, in lauds bordering on every oceen. If they could seen our railroads which link toifslher this vast country, and the which plough our waters they would scarcely have believed tlie vision true.

If they could see what we are seeing the gospel preached in every domain they would surely have thought that they kuew how Ood was going to do things on the last day. I like to study the I lea Samuel Hop. kins bad of the mdienuium. He kuew no Hebrew or (ireek, but understood English, an 1 had plenty of common Sdnse, and had communion with Ood. He prophesied great inventions, and the 8 hour system, so that people could preach every day in -the week.

We don't see that yet. I am sorry the young peopla can't enjoy as we old folks enjoy. To us the sight ora train of cars seems better tnan pyramids, or colpnades, or works of art. Now-a-days when anything ot importance happens anywhere in the world we know it next day at the breakfast table, I rdgrot it, but perhaps by it Uod is teaching man his relations witn his fellows. We should feel that life is serious, meant for amuse-ment only but that Ood has made us that the world may be better tor our having lived in it.

SB. TARBOX'S POEM. The Rev. Increase N. Tarbox.

of Boston, then read an tntercsiiug poem, paiutiug in easy-flowing versa the hardships, troubles, and joys of the oldeu times, attending the settlement of the Connecticut valley. The poem was 1 stoned to with great attention and frequent manifestations of applause, lis length precludes its publication, but itwiU be given Iu full hereafter. The poern was followed by a few remarks by the Rev. Mr. Fowhr.

formerly professor at Amherst college, and a lineal descendant of Dr. Huit. He spoke about the reverence in which the Bible used to be held, when young children read itthrou and sick aud dying men would allow it to be taken from their sight. Dr. Holcomb was called upon by the pastor to make a few remarks, ami produced a copy of the so-called "Breeches Bible' tOeueva.

edition), which he said nad been in the possession ot the church sinee its inception. This Bible also went by the name of the B-ar Bible, because in the old dajs neing piaoea under a sash to keep it open, a bear had pawed it, the marks of whose claws are visible to this. day. The exercises closed by the tinging of the same hymn which was sung upon ths foundation of the church in this country, las Mr. Clap records) the tune being the still more ancisut "Dundee." The hymn was sung in the old way.

a deacon re.idlnz a line, tne ngregaiion then singing it. subsequently many persons took ine opportunity Of registering their names in a book which bad been provided for tlui purpose. After supper, furnished in the town hall, tha evening session was inaugurated shortly atter i ciock, oy tne reading of a very tnteiestiug paper oy tne ttov. ir. laroox upon old cnurcn music.

This was followed by exer cises of a more iuformal character, consisting oi reauing letteig irom toose cot able to oe present, remarks by ex-pastors, eta.

To me comes the brake-man, and seating himself on the arm of the seat, says: "I went to church, yesterday." "Yes," said, with that interested iuilec tion that asks for 1 "And what church did vou attend! "Which do you guess'f" he asked. "Some union mission school," I hazarded. iNaw, ne saia, j. aon i like to run on these branch roads very much.

Good enough, but I dou't like it." Episcopal! I guessed. "Limited express," he said, "all palace cars and two dollars extra for a seat; fast time ana only scop at Dig stations. Nice line.

but too exhaustive for a brakeman. All train men in uniform; conductor's punch and lan tern silver plated, and no train boys allowed Then the passengers are allowed to talk back to the conductor, and it makes them too free and easy. No, I couldn't stand the palace cars. Rich road though. Don't often hear of a receiver being appointed for that line.

Some mighty nice people travel on it, too." "Universalistl" I suggested. "Broad gauge," said the brakeman; "does too much complimentary business. Every body travels on a bass. Conductor doesn't get a fare once in fifty miles. Stop at all flag stations, and won't run into anything but a union depot, xno smoking car on the train Train orders are rather vague though, and the trainmen don't get along well with the passengers.

No, I don go to the Universa list, though I know some awfully good men wto run on tfcat road." "fresbyterian" asked. IKKTABMSHKO 1S05.1 (HMOIVIC DISKAS1M A lPCIALTV.

Then there ia no stop over tickets allowed; got to go straight inrougn to the station you re ticketed for, or you can't get on at all.

It's run right np to the rules," "Maybe you joined the free think erst" I said. "Scrub road," said the brakemau, "dirt roadbed and no ballast; no time card and no train dispatcher.

Do you know, sir, I asked a division superintendent where that road rau to, and he said he hoped to die if he knew. 1 asked him if the general superintendent could tell me, aud lie said he didn't believe they had a general superintendent, and if thoy had he didn't know anything more about the road than the passengers. I asked him who he reported to, and he said 1 asked a conductor who he got his orders from, aud he said he didn't take orders from any living man or dead ghost. And when 1 asked the engineer who he got his orders from, he said he'd like to see any ou. give him orders; ne ran tnat train to suit himself or he it run is into the ditch.

Now. you see. sir. I'm a railroad mau, and I don't care to run on a road that has no time, makes no connections, runs nowhere and has no superintendent. It may be all right, but 1 ve railroaded too lone to undertake it." "Maybe you went to the Congregational churchf" 1 said.

Yes, diduk one of the division superintendents down east discontinue one of the oldest stations on the line two or three years agol But it's a mighty pleasant road to travel on.

Always has such a splendid class of passengers." "Did you try the Methoiistl" 1 asked. "Now, you're shouting," he said, ith some enthusiasm. "Nice road, eh! Fast time and plenty of passengers. Engines carry Ja power of steam, and dou't you forget steam gauge shows a hundred, and enough all the time. Lively road; aud when the conductor shouts 'All you can hear him to the next station.

Every train light shinas like a headlight, stop-over checks are given on ail through tickets; passenger can drop oil tne train as gotten as be likes, do the station two or three days, and hop on the next revival traiu that comes thundering along.

Wesley anhcuse air brakes on all trains, too; pretty safe road, but I didn't rid. over it yesterday." "Perhaps you tried the Baptist!" I guessed once more.

"Ah, hat" said the brakeman. "she's a daisv. isn't she! River road, beautiful curves; sweep around anything to keep close to tlie river, but it all steel rail and rock ballast, single rack all the way and not a side track from the round hou.ie to the terminus. Takes a heap of water to run it through; double tanks at every station, and there isn't an engine in the shops that can pull a pound or eati run a mile with less than two gauges. But it runs through a lovely country; those rivers roads always do; river on one side and hill on the other, and it is a steady climb up the grade all the way, till the road ends where the fountain head begins.

Yes, sir, I'll take the river road every time for a lovely trip, sure connections and good time, aud no prairie dust blowing in at the windows. And yesterday, when the conductor came around for the tickeU, with a little basket punch, I didn't ask him to pass me but I paid my fare like a little man twenty-five cents for an hour's run and a little concert by the passengers thrown in. I tell you, pilgrim, you take the river road when you want" But just here the long whistle from the engine announced a station and the brake-man hurried the door, shouting: "Zionsvillei This train makes no stops between here and Indianapolis!"

The npper galleries were closed to all except a few. ladies of the Washington party and the wives and families of the trustees. About six hundred chairs were set in the main hall and occupied exclusively by ladies. At the east end a small platform was erected upon which sat the officials of the Museum, the President, and a few invited These included Secretaries Evarts and Ramsay, the Bev. Dr.

The rest of the gentlemen stood wherever they could find room. The scene wag exceedingly brilliant whichever way one looked. The opening ceremony was arranged on a very simple and artistic plan. No more was done or said than was in good taste and necessary, nothing was omitted that was proper to the occasion. The large assembly remained standing on the floor of the great hall, surrounded by the works of art of all nations and times.

On a small platform were the president of the Museum, Mr. John Taylor Johnston, with tlie trustees, the President of the United States and other invited guests. Dr. Henry C. Potter commenced the public ceremonies with prayer.

Mr. Wenman, president of the park department, then formally transferred the building to the trustees of the Museum of Art. Mr. Johnston, president, on behalf of the trustees, accepted it with a few appropriate words. Perhaps just here is the most appropriate place to say that Mr.

Johnston's devotion to th. Museum from its foundation has entitled him to and won for him the grateful acknowledgments of his co-trustees and of all who know the history of the institution. He has worked steadfastly, judiciously, with great personal sacrifice, and the success now visible is in very large measure due to him. An anecdote is related that at a recent meeting of the trustees the vice president taking the chair in Mr. Johnston's absence, remarked that it was the first instance in the history of the Museum of the absence of the presi-deut from a meeting, and the fact was recorded in the minutes.

Mr. Joseph H. Choate, one of the trustees, on their tiebalf then informed the assembly of the short history of the Museum, of its position and its intentions and plans for the future. Your readers have already been told of the history, its brevity and its great results already visible. The future is likely to be great if the past be an index.

The trustees do not propose a curiosity shop. They intend to instruat. The educational character is to be kept always prominent. Exhaustive collections instead of scattered specimens of pretty things are to be sought. Schools of industrial art already in successful operation are to be carried on as part of the work.

President Hayes then advanced to the front of the platform and declared the Museum of Art open to the world. Music varied the exercises, aud when the President of the United States formally declared the Museum open to the world, the brief and impressive ceremony was ended. The assembly of ladies and gentlemen scattered from the grand hill, and was dispersed in corridors and galleries, while the music reverberated in the high arch which rises ninety feet from the floor of the building. The affair, taken all in all, was the most brilliant of the kind New York ever witnessed. REV1VINU OLD MEMORIES.

Qaarter millennial Celebration of Ye Ancient liurch of Windsor, Conn. Account of the dxerclaea In Full. Yesterday Windsor celebrated an event of rare occurrence, extremely interesting in itself, and a fitting illustration of the many ties by which we are still bound to the country upon which Hawthorne has bestowed the appropriate title of "Our Old Home." The occasion was the "Quarter millennial celebration of ye ancient church in Windsor, organized ia Plymouth, March 80th, 1630." This opportunity of calling to mind incidents and traditions made hallowed by time, and of contrasting the conditions of the church and the country at the time of our Puritan forefathers and in our own days, has been looked forward to for some time with great interest by many persons, especially antiquarians and clergymen. The morning train from Hartford carried a large number of citizens, many of whom were ladies and clergymen. On reaching Windsor they were conveyed to the unurcn in large carriages and omnibuses furnished by the committee of arrangements.

The old church itself, which stands on the bank of the river, was tastefully dressed with wreaths and festoons of evergreens, and the pulpit complete ly oanKeu in a cnoice uisp.ajr uui uuum iiuwcii very artistically arranged. Over the pulpit and connecting both frailenes was a large arch trimmed Willi evergieens, anu iroia enner uiii of this burnr a Uueo American and EnKiish naic oeariiii? in gut letters tne aates resDeetively of 1HS0 and ltH The arch bore this IaiIaf. -'lrH Tl.rt.i huu. been i.urdwelhnK place in all generations. AIoiik the sides ot the jrallery were neatly painted panels bearing the names of all the pastors alio had been connected with the church, each with nil appropriate date.

At after music from the organ, the Hev. Mr. Jewett oirerea prayer, tne pastor, tne Rev. F. C.

Wilson, tlieu welcomed, in beualf of the church, all to the old homestead, which he said was not reebieon account ot its Kreas aire nor aestinea to weaken, out to go on increasing Christ's fold. He hoped this day would be remembered by all resell as a red letter day. Alter singing; of the hymn and reading of selections from the Scriptures, the regular exercises of the day were opened by a paper read oy Lfeaconj. n. jiayaen ot mnosor Locks on the old meeting-houses, ilr.

Hayden spoke substantially as follows: The old houes of church worship wrre called meeting-houses. They were owned and built by the town, and tne citizens met mere always lor vountr. raising taxes, aua passing other measures of public importance. In Indian wars means defense were there organized. As time has gone by, state auu church have become more and more completely severed; but this uuion of the two has but comparatively recently passed away.

I myself remember having seeu political oraiora vemiiaMf bueir eloquence wim- in the walls of a church. There are no records of the hrst meetings of this church in England. I trac? it after its arrival at Dorchester. The first meetings were held within the shade of the forest or under the open sky. There was not the time to construct a meeting bouse while wives and children were unprovided tor.

lite nrst cnurcn was built in Dorchester in 1631; but one year had passed since their arrival. It is a mistake to suppose that log meeting bouses were then built. The lirst houses were of a very simple kind, framed, although there was not a saw mill then in the country. From town records we learn of repairs and improvements in the old meeting houses. Some of these are curious, as for instance that which speaks of an improvement which enabled one to beat the drum or blow tlie trumpet from the house top to give notice of services, meetings, etc.

In England no seats were provided tor tne common people. I tie gentry built and paid for their own pews. In New England the seats which were constructed with much difficulty on account -of th. lack ot prouer tools with which to make them, were paid for at first by a special poll-tax. The prices paid varied from 6 to shillings apiece.

Some of the benches were long aud others short. From the number and dimensions of the benches recorded it ia probable the meeting house at this time was 8xT0 feet, with two galleries, in which the children sat, the girls on the north side and the boys on the south. The men and women were also divided down stairs. People living at a distance rode or even wa ked to cuurcb a great distance. The man sometimes rode in front, and his wife with a child in her arms behind him on the saddle.

No mention of horse sheds is made till lti a. In 1G84 it was voted to build a new meeting house on the model of the one in irpringfleld. There is no positive evidence that it was constructed, nut it is prob-aMa that it was. for it was seventy -three vsara h- fore the next church was built. Tradition has it that the former had two rows oi galleries.

At the first court of Massacnu-jena colony toe question was raised how the ministers should be supported, and ie nrituraii that houses be built for them anil t.h be paid salaries. We learn from the earliest records in IStu that a acres were grautea to Mr. arham of Dorchester and the use of a grist mill probably the first one in Connecticut, His salary was voted from year to year, averaging about one hundred pounds annually. Mr. Warham nought and owned considerable land.

When the Ke7. Ephraim Huit came to Windsor be also re ceived grants ot laous, uu ueata in 1544 nis widow received an annuity for a term of years. Nathaniel Chauucey cam. to Windsor in 1667 under some opposition, so that the court had to order all to contribute to his support. He was finally called to Hatfield.

30, 1879. Gentlemen About six months ago I was bitten by mad boar. He cut two gashes in my leg about two inches long and an inch deep. I tried everything to heal the gashes, and had two different doctors, but my leg swelled to twice its usual size, and would change in color at different times from bright redtodai purple. My body was broken out all over in red and white blotches, and I was very feverish, and nothing 1 took seemed to help we, and the sores discharged constantly.

1 was recommended to try Sulphur Bitters. I have taken six bottles. To my great Joy I began to improve.

hone-Oe-c-larad Open to the World by President Uayaa. Borne off tlie Hpeolal tloiis. Attrac. From our own uorrnspondent.) New Yobjc, March 30th, 1880. The President of the United States and his party, which includes Mrs.

Hayes, Secretary of war Alexander Ramsey and Mrs. Ramsey, Miss Cook, a niece of Mrs. Hayes. Mrs. Austen, and Mr.

Andrews, arrived in the ciy yesterday, and went to the Fifth Avenue hotal. At one o'clock this afternoon John Taylor Johnston, president of the Museum, entertained the President and some specially invited guests at his residence ou Fifth aveuue. This was an act of private hospitality, and it on the official plan of the Museum. An elegant lunch was served. Among the guests were, besides the President and his suite, General and Madame de Cesuola, Secretary Evarts, most of the trustees of the Museum, and several prominent gentlemen of New York.

The doors of the Museum were opened to the waiting throng at 3 o'clock, and the president of the Museum with the presidential party arrived soon after. Waiting their arrival we will look about the building and note some thines in more detail than was given in the letter yesterday. Let us begin with the Loan exhibition. An idea of the variety and character the objects in this collection may be gathered from a brief notice of a few: Florentine tapestries, one representing perhaps the discovery of Cupid by Psyche, lent by Mrs. Another, Proserpine and Cerberus, from Mrs.

Stevens. Flemish tapestries with scenes from Flemish paintings, lent by Mr. Rutherford Stuy-vesant. Gobelin tapestry, a Chinese Tea Party, lent by Mr. Prime.

Gobelin (or some other French) tapestries, a series of scenes in the life of Alexander of Macedon, from Mr. Prime. Egyptian potteries aud other antiquities, lent oy Mr. Drexel. Bronzes, Cloisonne enamals and other objects, lent by Mr.

Marquand, Mr. Munoz and others. A grand old Greek vase, of the third century, B. lent by Miss Bruce; in a case surrounded by cotemporary vases. Chiriqui gold and pottery, lent by Dr.

Mer-ritt. Illuminated manuscripts, from Mr. Drexel. Books illustrating the history of wood en-craving, including all the great works of Durer, and specimens of Baldung, Burgonair, Cranac, Schautfelia, ITrse Grail, Amman, Solis, lent by Mr. Prime.

Limoges enamels from Mr. S. L. M. Barlow, and a remarkably interesting series by L' Audin, lent by Mrs.

Dr. Parker. Oriental ivories, enamels, lacquer and other work from Mr. Phoenix, Mr. Pruyn, Mr.

Moore, Mr. Andrews, and others. Oriental jades, crystals, from Professor Pumpelly. case of exquisite Sevres porcelain from Mrs. Hosack, Mrs.Genet, and Mr.

Prime. A caso of Capo di-Monte, Dresden, Berlin, Vienna, Hochst, and other porcelains from various lenders, every piece a gem. A pair of bellows in old Meissen porcelain, a rare union of beauty with utility lies in this case, A Que old Minton bowl gleams with rich color. A Capo bowl shows the deluge of Deucalion in colored reliefs, and two painted Capo dejeuner services illustrate severally the classic and the landscape styles of painting at that renowned factory. A case of rich Oriental stuffs from Mr.

S. C. Coleman. Italian majolicas, mostly of the Abruzzi wares. Gorgeous Sevres vases and a variety of beautiful cups and saucers from Mrs.

Barlow. We do not attempt to place these treasures in order as they now stand, for the rea son that the cases have been temporarily closed together at the sides of the room to make arrangements for the ceremonies of the opening. Among the objects it is not easy to choose any for special description. The Genet ser vico of Sevres porcelain is one of rare interest. The eleven cups and saucers are of various decorations, each a master-piece of the (Treat factory, and each priceless.

They were made, one by one, from year to year for Madame de Campan and her sister, when they were maids of honor to Marie Antoinette, who presented them to their mother, Madame Genet. From her they descended to her grandson. The vases of Mrs. Hosack, in the same case, have a sadder history. They belonged to Louis as their gold marks attest.

One has a painting representing the joy of the king on the birth of the Dauphin, the other shows the royal family, father, mother, son and daugh ter seated together on a happy fute day. When impoverished and waiting death Louis XVI relied ior money on the sale of his personal effects by Gouverneur Morris, and Dr. Hosack bought these vases thus directly from their royal owner shortjy before his execution. Among the tapestries which hang from the galleries extending nearly a hundred feet on each side of the hall the visitor will be in terested in the series which illustrate the life of Alexander. One represents him on horse back, a boy, having conquered the horse Bu cephalus, and returning to Philip and Olym pian, his father and mother.

The next shows him at the gate of Jerusalem, in his Asiatic career, where Josephus says he met the high priest Jaddna, and recognized in him an old man who had appeared to hkn in a dream, and foretold his greatness. The Macedonian surprised his Greek officers by kneeling to the Hebrew priest. The next represents Alexander meeting Thalestris, queen of the Amazons, whence arose an ancient scandal. Then he is shown in the Bactrian pursuit, overtaking the chariot of Darius who has just been murdered by his professed who held him as a captive The Greek spread his own cloak over the boJy of the Persian monarch. Finally wo have the coronation of Philip Andteus after the death of Alexander in Babylon, the con tention of the generals being visible in the angry faces which surround the half- idiot boy whom they have made king for the sake of dividing his kingdom.

AU the costumes in these tapestries are of that French classic style in which artists of the th century in France represented Crusa ders, Romans and Greeks alike. There is a-quaint old tapestry which seems to represent a Hebrew procession through the fields, with priests bearing the ark. Another, very rich in color, shows a naval battle, a boat in the foreground rescuing drowning sailors from a ship sunk in the tight. The Florentine tapestry before mentioned is re markably fine in representations of forms, and very delicate in the faded tones of the color. Perhaps no objects are more new to the eyes of Americans than some charming spec imens of old Venetian glass presented to the Museum by Mr.

Marquand, and placed in the south gallery at the end of the cases of Cyp riote glass. From this gallery the view across the hall to the north gallery, fairly resplendent with the colors of oriental porcelains, is so fine that the visitor will want to linger here in stead of viewing object in detail. But the oriental porcelains are still finer when seen piece by piece. They are arranged with reference to classes of decoration, beginning with the Old Whites, and passing to Celadons, pate sur pate, single and variegated or mottled body colors, and crackled wares of every kind. Some fine rice-grain specimens follow, among which none is more beautiful than tea-pot presented by Miss Hetty Bull of Hartford, which is specially valued aa showing that this rare decoration was used in perfec tion at the end of the Khien Long period in the last century.

A glorious array of reticulated wares, and blue and whites follow, among the latter a Hawthorne vase of great value; at which collectors will look with delight. The ruby and rose colors which come after th. deeper blues are genu of wonderful deli- oacy, and Sower decorations of the chrysan- tbemopceonieuaa and green families fill ot FOR 3AI I IV la IN NEWINGTON JUNCTION, A FARM, containing about 45 acres; land in a high state of cultivation, with dwelling-house, barn. and tobacco shed, all in good condition.
