THE FINE ARTS.
SsEoIIs Through the studiox-Georgs w.
Petit,


A Picture of Lear in the Storm, by George w.
Petit, attracted much attention at the last ex-
hibitlon OF the Academy of Fine Arts, both from
the effective grouping OF the figures and its eA-
cellencies of color. This young artist has wisely
avoided some of the errors, or rather weaknesses,
that render many OF our new pictures deficient
10 tone, and has followed that more true and
intelligent method of color of which Rothermel
offers some of our best examples.
Several years ago Mr.. Petit was most success
ful in portraying the marked aud noble features
of President Lincoln. and among the inuumera.
BILE counterfeit presentments" of that great
mar, many who have been familiar with his
varying expression, have pronounced most
highly in its favor
Very different is the grace and beauty of a
fancy head named "Marins :" and another, of a
still genter and more lovely type styled ERE
trospectioD." The soft, large eyes gaze intently
into past in which there has been neither sin
nor sorrow, and the glance is but tenderly
reeretful for the days that are gone. The broad,
low, unfurrow wed bro v, full oval contour of the
face, and curved and sensitive lips, all conspire
to make lovely picture, while the polse of the
mead is instinct with youthful grace.
This picture has been very successfully litho-
graphed and the soft and delicate tnts of the
print are admirably suited to the character of
the head. Civilization is much indebted to the
advances in modern art which make such
things OF beauty the adornment OF the humblest
home, and this lovely print, with some of its
beautiful comates, the charming drawings of
julien, would spread an air of refinement over
the bleakest domicile.

the Democratic party is solemnly
pledged not only by the declarations
of its candidate for Vice-P President, but by its
platform. The mere suspicion that such
scheme is in contemplation is sufficient JUS
tifcation for the action of Congress in "taking
a recess" Experience has shown that, in the
singular new phases of modern politics, 1t is
true now as ever that ''eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty" and Andrew Johnsou's revo-

Private inquiries, instituted with view of
provoking searching Government investiga-
ton, have lately been made into the adminis-
tration of the London hospitals, with a result,
it is said, of revealing shameful amount of
neglect and mismanagement. In one hosp
tai which has an income of fS000, there are
only S5 beds kept up, and the wards are de-
scribed as of rough lime-washed brick, ne
elected and poverty stricken in their appear
ance, with scanty and broken ward furniture,
and very ragged linen, the distares ILL
arranged, and sometimes supplemented by the
private subscriptions of the medical officers.

which has passed Congress by q unanimous

to that of the right and justice involved in the
