This last quote from memory. In hearing the
gentle tone Of remonstrsnce with those OF more
petty mind, or influenced by the passions OF the
partisan, ] was iorcibly reminded OF the parable
by Jesus Of the Vineyard and the dscontent Of the
aborers that those " no came at the eleventh hour
received also penny. Mazzini also is content
that all should fare alike as brethren, if only they
will come into the vineyard. He is not an orator,
but the simple conversational tone Of his address
is i'm refreshing con,rest with the boysh rhetoric
aud academic swell common 10 Italian speakers
in the present uDnedged state. As they have
ireer use Of the power OF debate they viii become
more simple and manly. The speech Of Mszzui
is laden With mind-it goes straight to the mark
by the shortest path and moves without effort from
the irresistible impression of deep convection and
fidelity IN tho speaker Mazzini is man OF ge-
MUS. an elevated thinker, but the most powerful
and first impression from his presence must al
wavs be Of the religion Of hs soul Of his riiDc both
in the modern and antique sense Of that word.
If clearness Of right if energy, if indeistisable
perseverance,. an steer the ship through this dan
eerous pass 1t Will be done. lie SAID we will
conquer" whether Rome will this time is not to
me certain, but such men As Mazzlni conquer ell
ways conquer IN defeat. Yet Heaven grant that
no more blood, no more corruption OF priestly gov
eminent, be lcr Italy. 1t could only be ior once
more, for the strength Of her present impulse
would not fail to triumph at last but even one
more trial seems too intoeraby much when
think Of the holocaust Of broken hearts, baiiied
lives that must attend it.
But enough OF politics for the present this let

Let me rather take the opportunity to say some
things that have let lie by, while writing OF po
hticsl events Especially Of our Artists wish TO
say something know many Of them, If not all,
and SEQ with pleasure our youns country 50 family

Among the painters | saw oil Brown only two
or three pictures at the exhibition In Florence
they were coarse, fashy things. was told he
could do better, but a man who INDUCES himself
with such coarse sale work, cannot surely do well
at any time.
The merits of Terry and Freeman are not my
merits; they are beside both iavortes in our coun
try, aud have a sufficient number of pictures there
for every one to Judge. am no connoiseur as re
CARDS the technical merits of paintings 1t is only
poetic invention, or n tender feeling of nature
which captivates mo.
Terry loves grace, and consciously works from
the model The result is pleasing transpostion Of
the hues Of this cline But the design OF the PIC
ture is never original nor is II laden with any mes
sage from the heart. OF Freeman | know less 4;
as the two or three pictures of bis that l have
seen never interested me- have not visited his
studio
OF Hicks ! think very highly. He is man OF
ideas. an original observer, and with poetic
heart His system of coloring is derived from a
thoughtful study, not a mere imitation OF nature,
and shows the iineness Of his organization. S'rus
Cling unaided to pursue the expensive studies OF
his art. he has had only small studio, and re-
ceived only orders for little cabinet pictures
Could he carry out adequately his ideas, IN him
would be found the treasure Of genius. He has
made the draw ings for large picture OF many hs
ures the design is original and noble, the group
ing highly effective. Could he paint this picture
believe it would be real boon to the lovers OF
Art the lovers of Truth. l hope very much that
when he returns to the United States, some com
petent patron of art-one of the few who has mind
as well as purse, will see the drawings and order
the picture. Otherwise he cannot paint It, as the
expenses attendant on models for so many figures
Sc. are great, and the time demanded could not
otherwise be taken from the claims Of the day.
Among landscape painters Cropsey and Cranch
have the true artist spirit. In faculties each has
what the other wants. Cropsey is reverent and
careful student OF nature in detail It IS no pedant
rv but true love he has, and his pictures are iuii
of little gentle signs Of intimacy. They please
and touch but yet, in poetic feeling Of the heart OF
nature, he IS not equal TO Crsnch, who produces
fine effects by means more superficial and on eS
animation. less satisfactory Each might t"Ae
somewhat from the other to advantage could he
