ART IN R1CHHoSD.-The Examiner pays the fol
lowing tribute to specimens of art exhibited at
the Mechanics Instute:
On the wall may be seen a numerous collection
of superior Photographs, some fine prints from
Sattler Co., and some promising drawings from
young aSpirant in art. At the head of the room
are the highly finished paintings of Mr. Calyo, the
Artist. They are clever productions; worthy the
attention of admirers of art. We would here call
especial attention to the busts by Mr.. L. v Valen-
tine, young artist of great promise. The like
nesses are excellent, in addition to which they
possess artistic merit of superior degree, that
charm which the hand Of genius can alone impart.
and which the mere power of imitation can never
reach The works of another young srtist of pro-
mise, Sir. Shepherd, (son of the late VIM. Z. Shep-
herd, so long chamberlain of the city.) are mo-
destly placed almost out of view the head Of the
steps. Although little more than sketches in oil,
they exhibit much skill and beauty in their ar
rangement of color, and delicate perception of
arial perspective by no means common.
SHELLY's MBEARY.-Sheliy's library was a very
limited one. lie used to say that a good library
consisted not of many books but few chosen ones
and being asked what he considered such. he said
IN gave you my list-cataogue it can't be called
the Ureek Plays. Plato. Lord Bacous Works, Shaks
peare the Old Dramatists. Milton, Goethe Schiller.
Dante. Re rarch and Boccaccio, Machiavelli, aud
ucciaTdini-not forgetting Caderon: aud last, yet
first, the Bible" 1t is not meant that this |
his collection. He had read few English works Of
the day scarcely novel except Walter Scott, o.
whose en- us he had Sovereign respect: Anastasirs
by when lie thought Lord Bryon prOfited in has
Don Juan; and the pronlissi Spesi. In speaking of
Hope and ManZoni. he said, that one good novel
WAS enough for any mau to write, aud he thought
both judicous in not rsking their fame by a second
attempt.
