ART CULTURE. SELECTED yRox wonKs OF JoHs RusKs
Edted by Rev W. II. PIATr l2mo pp 4So John WHEY Son
The writings of Mr.. Ruskin, for the most part,
have been published in expensive form as to place
them beyond the reach OF the student OF art and the col
ector OF books. save in Of exceptional wealth
In the present volume, the editor has attempted TO
arrange Mr.. Ruskn's criticisms IL a compact system
forming q grammar OF art which, to certain extent,
may supply the want Of acquaintance with the profound
ana eloquent original works 1t is intended as text
book for the use Students and preparation for
foreign travel which often fails OF its higher purposes
both OF culture aud enjoyment, through Ignorance
of principles which underie the creations OF Art
Although the volume is made up of selections from
Ruskn, the various topks treated with sufficient
completeness, without the sketchy and fragmentary
character which Is often the bane of similar COM
piations. While Ruskin is OF the few writers,
whose works demand the homage OF profound and
thorough study lat this may be said of mis- earlier
producons the reader Of this volume may gain an idea
OF his marvellous the freedom Of his conceptions
the subtle refinement of his criticisms his wealth OF
illustration, and the audacous splendors Of his rhetoric

China and Japan.

The intelligent Japanese considers his own fair
insular government the Rome Of the Eastern World,
and is impatient of the arrogance Of the Chinese,
his more numerous, but 10 his thinking more I'M
oouth neighbors. Just now the two nations are
quareling ove- the island of Formosa. This island
lies off the coast of China. in latitude 234 north.
AS its name implies, il is a very beautiful country.
The whole coast of the island facing the mainland,
belongs TO China. The eastern portions Of this
island are inhabited by aborignees. a .o%iratical
crew, and these are the chaps who have kicked mp
such q rumpus between China and Japan. Ii ap.
pears that they have been committing serious dep
relations upon Japanese commerce. This, of
course, enraged the victims and they entered pro-
test at the court Of the celestials. but the sage dis
ciples OF Confucius blandly told them the Formo-
sans were of age--to them they must look for
reparatiOn, which the japanese Immediately set
out to do. They came, they saw, they conquered,
but like the English on the gold coast, they were
unwilling to leave after they had obtained satisfac-
ton. They penetrated inland towards the Chinese
possessions. China, as well as America, has a sort
of Monroe doctrine, and she cannot brook the
presence of her rival on the land which she has
tacitly ruled since 1858. Hence she, in turn. has
protested, but Japan is determined to stay. How
the case will be settled can only be solved by
conjecture. The island is a rich possession, being
very productive, especially in a very superior
quality of rice. and China will not consent TO give
it up except at the point OF a sword keeneT than
her own.

| = At ~ O'Clock noon, on Tuesday, 22nd inst. His
Majesty gave audience to DIR. Edward Hoffman,, His
I Apostolic Imperial and Royal Austro-Hungarian
Majesty's Consul, for the purpose of placing in His
Msjesty's hands the Emperor's Imperial Order Of
the Grand Cross Of Francis Joseph. on which occasion
the Austro- Hungarian Consul made the following
address.
S1RE-I have received by last mail a despatch. in
forming me that it had pleased His Imperial and
Royal Apostolic Majesty, the Emperor Of Austria.
King Of Hungary, to bestow upon Your Majesty, the
Grand Cross Of the Order of Francis Joseph.
/ am also instructed to deliver the same to Your
Majesty, and 1 have therefore now the high and
distinguished honor to hand the decoration to Your
Majesty.
As only very recently Your Majesty has received
an autograph letter from His Imperial and Royal
Majesty, and as also the decoration is accompanied
by a letter from His Excellency the Imperial and
Royal Minister of Foreign Affairs, 1 have nothing
more to add, but that it may please Your Majesty to
accept from myself the best wishes for your long life
and prosperity,
His Majesty replied.
Mr. CoxsuL-FOr some years 1 have wern a deco
ration granted me by His Majesty the Emperor of
Austria and King of Hungary. This decoration has
always been to me a most agreeable memento of the
frigate DoRau, which was the beginning of our very
pleasant intercourse with the Austrian Government.
And now that His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of
Austria and King of Hungary has been pleased to
follow his congratulations on my succession to the
Throne Of this country by this distinguished mark of
his favor and consideration, it is certainly q cause Of
the greatest pleasure to me, and accept it as a high
mark of kindness and consideration. not only to my
self, but to my people.
The Rules of the Order require that should return
the Insignia of the Decoration which l have hitherto
worn and part with regretfully. therefore place it
In your hands, that you may forward it by the pro-
per channels to the Chancellerie Of the Order.
For your own good wishes Mr.. Consul, you have
my thanks.
The following is the letter from the Imperial and
Royal Minister Of Foreign Affairs as referred to in
Mr.. Consul Hoffman's address.
