A Sfudio Building

There is cause for congrstulstion in the fact
that at last steps have been taken looking to the
erection in this city of studio building for
artists. Among the minor wants of Washing
ton none has been felt more than the need of
such an establishment as this, where suitable
accommodations could be provided under one
roof for the artists residing here as well as for
others who would be glad to make this city their
home If they could find quarters where they
might work comfortably and under conditions
necessary to success in their profession, and
where one or two class rooms could also be set
apart for those wishing to give or take lessons
IN drawing or painting. Such q building would
DO 50 much toward creating and developing re-
lined taste, and at the same time 90 so far to
ward making Washington an art center for the
whole country, that there ought to be no diff
Guilty IN at once raising the money required for
ats construction.
But, looking at the matter In a more material
light, 1t deserves the attention and cooperation
of those who, caring little for that phase of the
subject. merely seek to secure q good interest
on their money investments. Taxing into ac-
count the number Of artists now residing here,
who lack proper accommodations, and who
would doubtless avail themselves of the first
opportunity that presents itself for lettering
their condition, together with those who would
locate here If suitable convenienees were as
sured, it Is questionable whether auy building
could be erected that would be more certain of
desirable tenantry in every respect than one
such as is proposed.
As stated above, measures have alrea DIV been
set on foot looking to this end. We have been
shown the drawings and plans of a building in
tended exclusively for artists studios which it
Is proposed to erect on Eth street. in the rear of
the CorcOran Gallery, and which, it seems to
us, will meet all the requirements of the situa-
ton, for the present, at least and at a cost too
that looks reasonable and entirely within the
means OF comparatively small number of
persons The interior arrangement appears to
be well adapted to the purposes in view; and,
while the main portion Of the building is sim
pie and inexpensive, the front promises to be
decided architectural acquisition to the city.
The project Is, we believe, to build it by means
OF stock subscriptions or some like mode of pro-
eedure, and we unders tand our citizens will
shortly be called upon TO aid the enterprise in
such ways and 70 such extent as they may feel
able. We trust those having the matter in
charge will be well received. Aside from the
pecuniary returns the Investment which
could hardly fail 70 be satisfactory, there is no
way IN which the same amount of money could
be made to do more for the benefit of the city
in that broad and lasting sense which cannot be
taken in at a mere glance of the eye nor meas
ured by the ordinary standards of value.

Current Literature.

HARPER's MAGAZINE for June-opening the
Forty-ninth Volume of that most entertaining of
periodicals-contains unusual attractions. A
series of illustrated articles on Mexico, by bishop
Gilbert Haven, is commenced. The style of the
opening paper is crisp and piquant and the
illNstrations-of which there scventeen-are
very attractive. A second illustrated paper On
DR.. Schweinfurths African Explorations, Ny
Helen S. Conant takes the reader into the land
of the Niam-niams, and treats of the wonderful
race of pigimies beyond. Bayard Taylor, in a
recent letter from Egypt, shows what remark
able degree of interest the khedive has taken in
this curious people, of whom he has two specimens
in his palace near Bouak.
The most beautiful feature of this Number is
the reproduction of the "Nymphidia, 'by Michael
Drayton first published three years after Shak-
spears DEATH The poem is illustrated with ten
exquisite engravings.
General George B. NJ Clellan's second paper
on Army Organization is very suggestive and
instructive. He gives especial attention to the
General Staff Corps of the Prussian service, and
its connections with the War Academy at Berlin; !;
and he explains the various systems through
which European armies are recruited.
Another exceedingly entertaining installment
is given of the 'Recoections of an Old Stager,
including characteristic notices and anecdotes Of
John Quincy Adams, Sam Houston, George NJ
Dromgoole, Tom Marshall and other Congress
sional celebrities.
The Editors DrdVer, with other facetiI, con-
tains two humorous poems by r. II. Stoddard,
and one, apropos of cremation, by John Paul.
The Folio. The June number of this most ex-
cellent musical monthly has reached us, filled
with news items peculiarly interesting to the
lovers of music. ''Mother, fold me in your arms,
by c. A. White, author Of "l1omeess Tonight Y
"Dublin Bay" Glove, oh, what is Love-" BY
G. W. Hunt; and "Rock of ages" responsive
double chorus, by Solon Wilder, comprise thb
vocal music, and 1.-THE Angels Greeting" and 4
Waltz make up the instrumental music. Besides
there is quite large amount of interesting read
ing. Those who want fresh music at cheap
rate would do well to send Sl.50 to White,
Smith & Co., Boston, and get the Folio.

The Peach Crop.

The prospect for crop OF peaches this year
has very perceptibly diminished within the last
two weeks. Orchards, which fortnight ago
promised good YIELD to-day have not peaches
enough left TO pay for the picking, even should
all that are now upon the trees come TO matur-
ty, which is extremely doubtful, to say the least.
There are few orchards in which "good
sprnklingn still remains and unless some other
calamity befalls them these will probably yield a
pretty gsod crop, bat they are very few and con-
fined, mostly, 10 very narrow belt Of country.
The following reports from gentlemen whose
judgment in such matters be relied upon, as
they are no croakers, furnish very fair estimate
Of what may now be considered the peach crop
of'F4: Henry Clayton, Esq, informs us that the
peaches in the vicinity Of Mt. Pleasant, Summit
Bridge and the canal were very badly hurt by
the latest frosts, and have fallen from the trees
TO such an extent within the last few days as TO
destroy all hope or prospect for even very small
crop in that section. He considers them fail
ure. Thomas Cavender, Esq, reports the same
thing frem the Manor. From Clayton and Smyr-
ma tile reports are an almost total failure. (Be-
low those places they have been considered gone
for some time Messrs. William R. and G. p.
Cochran, and others near Middetown, still have
hopes of pretty fair crop. Samuel Townsend,
Esq, reports his prospect and that of the grow
ers pretty generally in the neighborhood oi
Townsend as very good yet. Robt. A. Cochran,
Esq's. orchards, ou his Forest farms, still have
good many peaches.
From these reports it appears that the peach
crop is confined to narrow strip of country
probably not more than eight or ten miles wide
running from about two three miles north O
Middletown to a short distance below Blackbird
and extending East and West to the two bays
and even in this little space the peaches are ex
ecedingly few, so that instead of 2,50o oo'
baskets, there will probably scarcely be 100, 900
