I
consider the "_Rose of Sharon_" a masterpiece, and the greatest work
of any Englishman--and, now I come to think of it, MACKENZIE's a
Scotchman. Yours truly, ALBERT HALL.

PARS ABOUT PICTURES.--On to DOWDESWELL's--Pictures by the Newlyn
School. Interesting show this--especially good in landscapes.
Disappointed there is no picture of the town of Par, whence the O.P.'s
ancestors came. However, let that pass. Ladies, first,--there is
excellent work by Mrs. STANHOPE FORBES, Mrs. GOTCH, Miss HAYES, Miss
FORD, and Miss BIRD; and, be it said with all politeness, equally
excellent work by Messrs. STANHOPE FORBES, TITCOMBE, A.C. TAYLER, and
others. A good many of the tin mines of Cornwall are said to be worked
out, but I think not a few of our young artists have found a mine of
tin in this picturesque country, which they are working both to their
own advantage, and that of the Art-loving public. In the same gallery
may be found a small collection of pastels by Mr. JAMES GUTHRIE. This
artist seems to thoroughly understand the scope of pastel--and has
walked his chalks about Scotland to considerable purpose.
