In speaking Of Western emigration, the
editor Of the Baltimore Rsrisso, says, @The
great decentralization OF the human mind
in the desire to become suddenly rich, has
much to do with the overlooking aud pass

Add to this what we have stated above,
and the lack Of energy on the part Of the

Of aianded estates, and it IS all explained
how it is that We have such vast area

the little village talked and wondered, and
strangely enough, too, Silas was the only
one of the "Great Union Petroleum Oh
Company" who realized anything on the

and Judge Fay explained It by denying
the statement Of Silas altogether. Indeed,
in moment of excitement the Judge for.
got his usual caution and gave his reasons.
He said, firstly, the " Great Petroleum"
had not struck oil; secondly, the company
had not commenced to dig yet; and, third
ly, the Great Petroleum didn't own any
land in Pennsylvania nor anywhere else;
therefore Silas' story must be false But

Nellie Grant was hardly pretty girl,
except with the loneliness Of fresh youth,
but her side facc-she has a retrousse nose
and round chin--is charmingly piquaEt.
Her chief beauty is her arms and neck,
which are perfect in contour and white as
alabaster. This beauty Of form she inner
its from her mother, who has such pref
ty foot that the young officers on her hus-
bands staff used to compete for the honor
of helping her in and out of her carriage
just To see it. The only accomplishment
Nellie ever boosted Of was dancing, and
that she did divinely. She was not itera-
ry, or artistic, or conversational, and she
never pretended 10 be; but when Charles
Sumner, her fathers enemy, died, she
went out TO the greenhouse and gathered
with her own hands flowers for the cross
she sent<o his coffin. So it was for such
little acts-for sort Of sincerity about her
that despised to assume what she did not
possess-that people here, even without
any personal acquaintance, had an aifec-
ton for her, and they regard her with an
interest far removed from idle curiosity

Women as Artists.

The Baltimore Gazette, speaking Of
women artists, says: THAT the ranks Of
the painters should be recruited from
among women as well as from among
men is natural and right Reasoning
merely from natural laws, woman should
have all the delcacy Of touch, all the ar.
tistic sense Of beauty of color and har-
mony of effect, and especially the subtitle
sentiment, requisite to make an artist. In
certain branches Of art she might not be
able to command success But art has an
infinite variety. 1t is Us wide as nature
itself, as varied as man and mans life;
as high and vague and imaginative as the
unseen world and all the airy creations Of
fancy. All women, because they study
art, may not be Rosa Bonheurs or Angelica
Kaufmans. They may not even reach
the level of Miss Hosmer, and may be
compelled to forsake the Congressionally
flower strewn paths Of the Winnie Reams.
They will undergo . process of sitting a.
men do who make art profession. They
must have the same qualities, love of art
for arts sake, . vivid perception of tho
salient points Of beauty, . def hand, .
true eye, and, above all, perseverance. The
poet may be born, not made but the artist
has to be born and made too. All that we
have said is, it will be seen, no discour-
agement to = woman artist. Who has
DETER, more supple hands! Whose ideas
of beauty and fitness respond more quick.
ly to cultivation, Who can be educated
to love and appreciate art and ar
tistc arrangement, and the great
loneliness Of nature, from the per
lection Of q flower and the wavy
beauty Of field Of wind -rippled wheat to
the gathering storm Of summers day,
Her impressions are quick and vivid.
Why should she not, then, be u painter
She has insight; why cannot she put the
insight into tangible form, with technical
skill, proper color, light, shade, perspect-
i've, correct drawings And still il she
cannot do this the time is not thrown away
for the woman who has studied art.
We do not speak of painting as an elegant
amusement, delightful occupation OF
spare hours, asource qualification in pre-
serving memorable places, persons and
many of the smaller pleasures of memory
which ordinarily fade cway and are lost
TO u.s. We might very well do this, but it
is not the intention with which we started
out. That was the pursuit of art as pro-
fession by women artists. In doing so we
have dismissed from contemplation all
who have no special talent. Such per-
sons had better abandon art at once
Its ranks are crowded enough. There is
room for more, but not at the bottom.
Half way up the pressure is relieved, and
at the top of the ladder there is no com
plant of want Of elbow room. Therefore
it is Of those who have at least some apti-
tude for art we spoke when we said That
its study was not time wasted, even 70
those who cannot hope 10 attain the high
est station"
