ART GREECE. nv II Taino

ART IN GREECE; by II. Tame Translated
by John Durand. New York. Holt & Williams.
Mr.. Taiue has written various works on art and
literature, which have had considerable success
His style Of writing is brilliant and he seems to
have studied the subjects introduced in his
books Several Of his books have been trans.
lated, and there are many who have some ac-
quaintance with what he has written on Italian
art. This small volume gives what he has to
say OF art 10 Greece, So far as it relates to art,
It Is, like his other works, pleasant aud nstruc-
tive; but when he discusses the history of Greek
art, and the originality Of Greek culture. he
deals with antiquity as blindiy as those who
trace all its myths and traditions to Noah's ark.
and reminds us Of the method of inquirv by
which Mr. Legge undertakes to show that Noah
and The Chinese Fuhi were the same ancient ner-
sonage. great deal that is said Of the relation
Of Greece to civilization, is nearly as upwar-
ranted aud absurd as the medieval hagiologies
lie assumes, for instance, that the Greeks began
their culture cat the dawn of civilization" which
is about as true, Or rather, as little true, as it
would be TO say, that, in the year 1000 A. D..
the inhabitants Of the Pacific Islands inheriting
our culture, will begin their own special deve-
opment at the dawn Of modern civilization
claldea, Egypt, the Pbeaicians, and As
syria, protest against this ignorant view
Of the BEGINNING Of Greek culture. Again:
the Greece Of Mr. Tame is the Hellenic
peninsula and YET he talks a. il Homer, Pytha-
goras, aud all the brilliant writers and artists Of
n much oder ionia, in Asia, were representa-
rives d the culture Of this Greece, including
Ihales, who was not only an lonian, but also, ia

Of laueiial cancellations. Seeing that the 10

WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 80, 1871.

The people of New York, just now have their
attention unusually occupied with matters which
create special excitement, They are contriying
measures to suppress the Tammany thieves,
and, also. preparing to receive" the Grand
Duke Alexis. 1t is to be hoped that the last
named cause of excitement will not operate long,
for it is liable to interfere with the other far
more important business, by Withdrawing at
tention from it. The infamous ring of thieves
hailed the Chicago fire as a godscnd, for they
thought it would divert attention from them
selves and thus give them respite, Undoubt
edly thev have looked forward to the reception
of the Russian prince as a season Of relief, and
hoped that one thing after another would create
a diversion in their favor until the excitement
a. aiust them should blow over. We think they
will be disappointed, for the forces now at
work to suppress them are too well supported TO
give way SO easily. The earnest dcermina-
ton of Charles O'Conor represents the best por-
ton of the democratic party, and we can not
believe the Tweed nug will escape overthrow
For some days, a watch has been kept off Sandy
Hook for the arrival of the Russian feet with
the expected grand duke. If he can appreciate
the situation and make his visit to New York
very short, he will deserve some reputation Tor
good seuse. Certainly, the city Of New York is
not Just now in the happiest condition to enjoy
such reception of son of the ear as most of
the New Workers consider appropriate. The ar
engagements, we believe, are in the hands of
private committee; but will it be possible to
keep the great thieves of the city out of sight
and hide their existence from the visitor? They
are the city rulers, and, therefore, can not be
wholly withdrawn from observation. What a
relief it would be, if they were all where they
ought to be, in the state prisonl

While Madison street, west of Dearborn, and

spectators saw the lurd light appear in the win

Mr.. George Bancroft, American minister to
Germany, has got himself into terrible scrape.
We tremble to think of the penalty which
threatens him for a single indiscretion. 1t seems
thar when Won Moltke came marching home
from his victorious campaigns in France, Mr..
Bancroft wrote him a note OF congratulation.
This was published and came TO the notice of
Victor Hugo who, on reading it, was transport
ed with indignation. According to a correspon-
deut Of the Independence Beige he exclaimed to
IN, O'SuWan, former ambassador to the
United States at Paris, " Chat Bancroft have
punishment in store for him. / shall hang
him on an eternal gallows." This gal
lows, which fortunately or unfortunately,
as it may happen, for MIR. Bancroft Is
a igurative one, NJ. Hugo is now engaged in
constructing. 1t is what he believes to be poem
entitled "The Terrible Year." and will appear
during the coming winter. Our minister is
doubtless aware of his fate, and will meet it with
what fortiude he can summon. 1t may rein
force his courage to remember that Victor Hugo
hurled at the advancing German armies divers
epgrams and proclamation or two which he
was confident would stay their march, if not
annihlate them; but the obtuse Germans
marched on, laughing at the vain old man, and
all Europe irreyerently laughed with them.

The japanese government, in its efforts to
cultivate the western civilization, is securing the
assistance OF a great many Americans in various
capacities. II as many are employed from the
European nations as from the United States, the
public offices OF Japan must be generally filled
by foreigners. The mikado has lately invited
one OF the numerous Smith family, Mr.. E.
Pcshine Smith of Rochester, New York, who has
for some years held responsible position in the
state department at Washington, to be the legal
adviser for foreign affairs Of the japanese gov
eminent The office is both honorable and lu-
cratiye aud Mr.. Smith is said to be well quail
fed to fill it with credit to himself and adyan-
taga to Japan. That country is fast becoming
a land OF promise to adventurous persons who
can claim proficiency in politics or science, ana
has influential friends.

Multitudcs of eastern capitalists, large and
small, have money invested in Chicago. The
prevailing rate Of interest there, ten per cent,
made mortgage investments on city property
very attractive. The destruction of all the
county records of land titles appeared to be
serious matter to those whose loans were thus
secured, as well as to the owners OF property
who might wish 10 borrow money on it for re-
building. II will be a relief to everybody inter-
csted to know that the destruction of the off cial
records need not cause any confusion or uncer-
tainty OF titles. The Chicago Times says:
"rhere was a very general relief of public
anxiety at finding that Messrs Shortall &
Hoard saved all their books and papers, and
Massls. Chase Bros & Co. and MeSsrs Jones &
Sellers most Of theirs. We have been informed
that the vaults OF the latter firm were found in
a perfect condition, and that they contained
their books, though some of their papers were
DESTROYED in a safe. Shortal & Hoard rescued
their books and papers on Sunday night of the
fire, beginning their work about II O'Clock, and
taking out the last of their valuable materials
when heir building, on the corner OF Washington
and Clark streets, was actually on fire Among
their papers were complete aud perfect transfer
copies of all the abstracts ever made by
the trm-amounting 10 something like one
hundred thOsand pages-which cover a large
territory, aud, as far as they 90, are very much
more valuable than the indexes, as setting forth
the details of the transfers and liens. To make
the power of reyestng titles still more reliable,
the Information will be received with universal
JOY that Mr.. Rees has kept aud has saved copies
OF all the maps and plots of Chicago property
up 10 the very Saturday before the fire The re.
suit is that there is ample material for yesting
titles and showing the condition of all property.
SO that it can be made available for borrowing
purposes 1t only remains for the legislature to
pass comprehensive and wel-digcsted law as
TO the manner in which this shall be done and
tins is one Of the things TO be done quickly
The business of real estate agents and convey
anees was conducted in Chicago, with much
more method and thoroughness than in any
eastern city. 1t is said that all the firms men.
toned above, aud perhaps Others. could give
from their own private books Of abstracts and
plans the precise condition of the title of every
foot Of land in the county, without reference to
the public records We should suppose it would
be necessary for the county to purchase a set OF
these abstracts or the right to transcribe them
Tor preservation and public use.
