American Artists in FLORENCE

Under this head Careton's Letter from
Rome Jan. 1, to the Boston Journal, gives an
account ofvisits to the Studios otHiram Pow
ers, and several other artists, among them
that of John I'll. Jackson, son OF Mr.. Thorn
as Jackson formerly of kittery, who removed
TO Bath, Maine, where John was born.
THE STUDIO OF MIR. JACKSON.
Not far from the studio of Mr.. Hart is that
of Mr.. Jackson, tavorably known to the lovers
OF art in Boston, many years the Junior of his
brother artist, whose works have already been
noticed Iwould you could sit down in the
studio of this artist and see a work of genius
entitled ''The First DEATH come forth from
the marble. 1t is one of the Oldest scenes in
the history OF the human race, yet one which,
SO tar as know, has never been taken up by
artists. The figures are life size. Eve has
raised her youngest born from the ground
and, gazes INTO the face of the dead one o
what depth of wonder is there in the counte-
nance OF the beautiful mother OF the race, as
she attempts to penetrate the mystery OF
death! What this something all unknown
before ?-thls lump form? these voiceless, mo-
tionless lipsp these slehtless eyes2 Is it
not sleep. There Is no breath, no heaving
heart. is it that which she mas feared, that
which was pronounced as part of the penalty
OF her own transgression? sss So Isl 4.
Those are the questions which you see on
her countenance. You hear no voice her lips
move not; but you know that those are the
questions i'll her heat; that il the pure white
marble could but speak these would be the
words which would fall from her lips. Not
only in the countenance is there the contest
between life and death, but in the poise of the
fingers. The flesh OF Abel is that OF one not
long dead-the warmth but just departed
whilst that of Eve is throbbing with life, her
pulses quIckened by the attempt to compre-
bend the terrible mystery. 1t is the intention
of the artist to take it to America the coming
season, and it probably will be first shown to
the public in Boston. Its completion will
mark another triumph of the American genius
ia Art.
''how is it that you work up such an idea.'
said to the artist.
Il cannot tell your was the reply. "Only
that it comes in a FASH" Three years ago.
l was walking the street, when it came to me
1 saw the two figures ust as you see them now
Eve looking at the dead body, her wonder
at the mystery just giving way to grief"
1t is not, then, a working up of an idea
which characterizes genius, but it is an in
spiration. The musician understands it so
does the poet but the conception of the mu-
sician may be all Greek to the artist or to the
poet. e
1T is beyond my comprehension-this tax
ing a sheet of paper covered with straight
lines and musical characters, and singing OF
playing them in time and harmony" said the
artist; but the wonder, the grief, the beauty
OF form and leatures-the mothers love and
tenderness-be could see all that at once, and
bring it out o the shapeless marble. Won
derful, such genius!

his party. While we caunst always agree with all OF
his political notions, heartily bear witness to the
ability, character and culture he has displayed in its
management and wish him and the proprietors even
more prosperity in the next year than it has had in
the past.
Its news is judiciously and carefully selected. and
general culture and literary taste characterzes its
contents. As good family newspaper it has no su-
perior; and while Mr.. Lincoln occupies the CITY ed
tors chair there will be no lack of local news as il
is generally acknowledged that department he has
no equal in the State.

least for contemporary, and we hope it will never
be found necessary to cura the dimensions of This
