is marvellous artistic to thus make US

the Green room. Patti is declared to have

The Germans assure us that May is the |
month when the powers of the intellect and
imagination are most developed, and |
the exhibition OF the works of living artists |
in the Palace of Industry supplies the occa

All such displays ought to be visited at two |
distinct periods-In the morning when there |
is no crowd, and the atmosphere cool and |
enjoyable, to appreciate the exhibits, which |
in the present case are more numerous than
really meritorious; there are many pictures
to be liked rather than admired: landscapes
without end; portraits all smiles in massive
gilt frames. This year there is no salon of
''honor," nor Of "refusals." Strange, there
is not portrait of their majesties, and but
one-rather stiff-of the "Prince I'm
erial in the Camp of Chalons."
The sculpture gallery is full but
not rich, and the distinction Of
