There is only one small picture by Troyen; but it is large enough to show that impressive solemn evening effect for which he is, among other things, much celebrated. Muncaksy, whose picture of "Christ before Pilate," has been so much heard of lately, has a small woodland scene particularly noticeable for its originality of execution. A real dark green Daubigny, much coveted by connoisseurs, attracts much attention.

His resignation is another notable instance of the losses Harvard has sustained during the past few years in the death or retirement of several of her most eminent professors. Professor Dunbar has long occupied his most important position of senior instructor in political economy, in which science he is well known as a distinguished and original authority, and in his retirement the university...
