"NAPOLEON." By W. Q. ORCHARDSON, R.A. This work, which was considered at tha time to be perhaps tho finest picture ia the Royal Academy of 1880, represents the exiled Emperor taking his last long loot at France. In the tmiform which is peculiarly associated with him, ho stands apart from his suite on the deck of H.M.S. Bellerophon, 3rd July, 1815, off Capa Uflhant. To the left, at a respectful distance, and bareheaded, are his officers, Col. Planat, General Montholon, Chirgn. Mftigaul, Ctc. Las Cases (whose _ son is loaning over tho rail in the mid-distance), and General Savory, General Lallemand, and General Bertrand. This is one of the few examples of an open air subject by Mr. Orchardson, whp selects moro often the interior of a spacious salon with ample space of empty floor. That feature, a peculiar characteristic of his work, is present here, and is more than ever valuable in detaching the hero from, his surroundings. The loneliness of tho great warrior is emphasised by this isolation, to the advontago of the picture as a composi- . tion and the dramatic force of the incident. The slieht roll of the vessel, indicated by the line of the masts, explains the pose of the Emperor, and suggests the movement of the ship, a suggestion which is also greatly helped by the diagonal lines of the ship's riggine. The straightforward fttory-tellinß, with no comment, no "touching" incidents, and no confusion, is another feature of the artist's work. Here is Napoleon taking^ his last look at France. Your attention is not called away by any conflicting motives. The work waa purchased for £2000 under the terms of the Chantrey Bequest, whence it has been reproduced by permission of tho artist and tho President and Council of tho TRoyal Academy. It is now hunjr at the Tato Gallery with the rest of tho Chantrey Pictures. A larfro beautifully framed engraving of this picture is on view in the "Showrooms of Messrs. R. and E. Tingoy and Co., Ltd., Manners-street. — Advt. HOW RHEUMO CURED MR. WILLIAM JAMES. MR. WILLIAM JAMES, the popular propriotor of the Terminus Hotel, Christchurch, writes: — "I suffered very very greatly from Rheumatic- Gout for quite fourteen years, and tried almost every remedy suggested by my friends and Medical Practitioners, but with very little relief. About three years ago I was strongly advised to try RHEUMO. I did so, and am glad to say with the greatest satisfaction. I have a little twinge now and then, but a dose or two of RHEUMO puls me right almost at once. To any ono suffering the agonising pains of gout or rheumatics I can recommend RHEUMO with tho greatest confidence." RHEUMO is sold by all Stores and Chemists, 2s 6d and 4s 6d.
