English RalIad NEu-lc.

From the Lcrdon standard, 2Sth.
Whilst every musician must desire to
aid in the attempt to educate the people
40 to the highest standard of art. thtrs
Is no reason why the thoroughly English
ballad should not 2onstltQrs q part Of
that system Of education. The ballad is
sentlsIly indigenous to the climate O.!
Great Britain. The Italian sris, the
French cbRusOD, and the German lied,
bear no analogy to 1t. The ballad is d

It's own stOry-tesigniDg and 1aishing
off q miniature picture which, to be wos-
thy Of the highest rank in its clsss,
should be made up of aD interesting
idea, clothed in smooth lyrics and set to
agreeable melody. The constitutions!
appreciation OF the Eoglish iof this spe-
cies of com position has been fostered By
q long lis5 of excellent bsAad-writers,
composers and singers. To excel Ia Ell
ther department requires something
more than cUmmOnpi ace ability, and il
is the error Of supPosing that any trash
by way OF rhyme with0utreasOn, rhythm
without tune, or voics without taste, will
do for ballads, which hss led TO a con-
temptuCqs estimate OF this style Of mu
sic, and deserved reprOhati0n OF the
mass OF stuff which is forced upOn the
public in the name OF the once highly
cherished ballad. Aud Robin Gfsy,D
The Minstrel Boy" ETC., form excel

the foe culture OF Saerringt0n or

style Of composition which is becoming

THE NEW ART.
The EHteF1atiOnsl Marble Col
Oring Company.

From the New York Tribune, OF the Ish.l
Yesterday a number of gentlemen we're
invited 70 csll at the laboratory OF the
International VI lrble ColoriDg Company,
No. - Third avenue, northeast corner of
7 PEelfth sire e, second story. Here they
found aa Italian sunset Imprisoned in
enduring stone, Here wers snoW-White
marbles from Vermont, turned by wig ard
toDeh # cbemic art into scarlet splendOr
nos found 10 nature save in the gem the
fBwer, and the clDud. Oa one hand the
purple OF the Cge Jars cleaned in solid
stone, and on the other a mantelis yell
low lusteT rivalsd the rarest marble from
Sisnna's quarries. Here a plain white
I'd uusy piece had been tinted with
3.Ye-cOlOSeG hues, softer than those of
the choicest Lisbon stone. and there the
gOBdrCus touch of this new art had
created = massive black-veined emerald,
eclipslng IN beauty the finest verd-an-
tiqGs that nature ever stained. Ia g
word, more than 800 hues and tints and
shades, all the work of mans adjoining
hDger, Ehimmered aud blaz5d on every
side with a confusion and a glory of
color that II hath not before entered into
the heart of man to conceive as possible
in he domain OF architecture. This in.
ventiOn consists simply in the discovery
OF 3 certain mordant, with which the
proper dyes are miXei, forming a solu-
tIoa. Ia shallow bath OF this the mar
ole is placed, molecular action immedi-
ately ensues, and IN few hours or DAYS
the whole mass Is saturated with color.
The seVeTest tests from acids and ex-
posure to the elements show that these
cOlors are more durabls than those of
nature. The inter tices OF the marble
being thoroughly filed, grease cannot
penetrate il; and seyeFest weather can
scarcely wear it, and it becomes sdscep-
tibe OF the highest polish. In fact his
siugie, easy aud inexpensive process se-
cures 81 once the three great ends OF
beauty, durability and economy. A
plaster cast has Just been completed Of a
Osplismal font, sculpturea with a cross
aud wreathed with vine, which is to be
reproduced in OlOod-red mai bic, the
sACri6cial hu5. For white marble altar

tber painting nor vanishing. The vista |
Of architectural nlsgnificence opened 10 |

to the readers imagination, the Arabian |

statue to Henry Grattan.

From aa Irish Exchange.
Who would not be glad for the honor
Of Ireland, that statue should be raised
to Henry Grattan ? The name alone
wskens up ell the memories OF Irish
nationality. There is no native Of this
country who is not proud that Henry
Grsttsn was his countryman, and there
are none connected with the noble pre-
fession Of which be was the OrnsmeRt,
or with the Senate Ia which hiR nohlest
orstions were delivered, who will not
gladly aid in rescuing Ireland from the
charge of being incHriOs0 SttOTtHl -
A sum OF over three hundred pOunds-a
nucleus for the whole amount required
is now available. That three hundred
pounds is the Offering OF a man whom
those who most differ from him cheer
fully admit to be manly, honorable and
independent. Some of the many friends
Of Mr.. A. NJ. Sullivan contemplated to
present him with public testimonial.
From the hrst, Mr.. Sullivan expressed
decided objection to receive such a re.
cognition OF his public or personal In-
tegrity. His friends, however, ,persevered,
and collected in short time, and with
little trouble, sum which, after sll de-
dnctions, leaves surplus of upward Of
600 This surplus Mr.. Sullivan devOtes,
as his personal subscription, to initiate

COnverslOa 10 the Hebrew Faith

From the Chicago Times Of Monday
An event OF somewhat extraordinary
character occurred on yesterday In the
Jewish Synagogue on Harrison street.
At IL O'Clock, in the presence Of an i'm
mense congregation, Miss Mary Gilmore,
native Of England, and aged twenty
Two yesrs, publicly renounced Christi
anity and embraced Judaism. Under
the existing circumstances the CONVEX
sion is a remarkable one, not so much
FROM It's isolation, but as indicative Of the
prevalence Of spirit Of inquiry in reii-
giOus matters that in its latitude OF ezsr-
else is liable to carry the inquirer into
the j sW ish Church. OF late years or
thodOx Christis isui5y has labOred for the
conversion Of the Jews, If Miss Gilmore :
example Ia followed, q new field OF labor
Will be opened, and their efforts will
comprehend the imposition Of persuasive
restraints upon Christians to prevent
their subscription TO the tenets Of the
Hebrew faith. The ceremony attendant
upon the reception Of the you0g lady
into the church wac very simple, She
was dressed Ia white, and approached
the altar, where questions were asked
her by tue officiating rabbi, Rev. Or.
Me'segu. In reference to the Inquiry,
W hCAAoi ASI AuOJtiOn VI y uu1l5m Was
the result of conviction in its truths. and
uaiL h1enced hy eAtrane0gs eonsidera-
LiOnsfu she answered promptly snd
emphatically Yes A few orther in
terFogRJories fOllGwed, when sne was de-
c!sred in communion with the O ID of
Isrsel and His people. As q supplement-
TO the conversion was the marriage of
the young lady to Mr.. Bernard Bsrlian,
a business man OF New York city. This
ceremony took place at 70 o'c.ecss, and,
ike the event ia the morning, attracted
Al immense attendance of tue Jewish
ladies and gentlemen Of the city. Rev.
DE-. MessegH, as in the morning, per-
formed the ceremony. Miss Gilmore,
the convert, is very Intelligent youGg
lady, ana attributes her change Cf creeu
20 q firm belief in the truth and divine
authenticity OF the Jewish Church. Her

does at time like the present. cannot
