THE ENGLISH PRE-RAPHAELTE.-The aver
age pre-Raphaelite believes Dante Rossetti
Burne Jones and Whistler to be the greatest
artists of the modern school. If any one
speaks to him of contemporary English poetry,
he is bound to assume that that there is only
question of Mr.. Rossetti, Mr.. Swinburne or
Mr. Morris In modern French literature he
admires Victor Hugo, Baudelaire, and one or
two men who are coming up, but of whom the
outer world has as yet heard little. Among
the writers of older France he is chiefly con-
cerned about Francois Villon for has not Dante
Rosseti translated some of the verses of that
singer? He is an enthusiastic admirer of the
paintings of the late Henri Regnault. Proba-
bly, be speaks of France as "our France" aud
although unless be be an immediate and spec
ial follower of Mr.. Swinburne) he cares moth
ing about POLITICS, he is angry with the Ger
mans for having veXed our France. He pro-
tesses intense faith in he philosophy of Scho-
fenhauer and the music of Wagner, and he is
greatly touched by Chopin. He gives himself
out as familiar with the Greek poets, and be
far exceeds Col. Higginson in mis- admiration of
Sappho, while at the same time he would per
haps be little disposed to thank Col. Higginsop
for having endeavored to clear that poetess from
the repute of certain eccentricites of moral
conduct. He is satisfied that America has CIV
en- to literature two great names and only two
those of Walt Whitman and Joaquin Miller.
When he mentions the name of some revered
poet lac probably calls him 1.-THE Master" He
makes for himself a sort of religion out of wall
paper, old teapots, and fans He thinks to Or
der, and yet above all things piques himself on
his originality. He and his comrades receive
their opinions, as Charlemagne's converts did
their Christianity, in platoons. He is full of
affectation and of freshness; of self conceit
cleverness, and loyal devotion to his flag. He
is quite distinct figure, think. in the litera
ry history of our time; and, take him for all in
his whimsicality, and his nonsense, one must
admit that he is picturesque as well as new
figure, and that he has claims and merits much
beyond that of almost any of the types of artis-
tic affectation which we knew before his day

1T. Stewards Will.
The application to vacate probate of the will
of the late A. I. Stewart came up for argument
today in the Surrogate's ccourt.
The counsel for Mrs. Stewart asked that as
far as the personal estate left by Mr.. Stewart
was concerned, revocation of probate be de-
MED. Probate of the will was regularly done
and the papers filed in the Surrogates office,
and the petition of James Bailey and others
did not show that probate was illegal.
Mrs. Stewards answer to the petition of Bal
ley was read, In which she averred that she
never heard of these relations during Mr.. Stew
arts life time, and that the codicils to the will
were uninf1uenced. The case is now on.

FACTS AND sPECULATIONs.

CINCINNATI, June 15.-The impression pre-
vailing today that the admission of the anti
Spencer delegation from Alabama was a victo-
ry for Blaine is now believed to be contrary to
the facts While the anti-Speucer dele
cations have studiously refrained from
giving expression to their preferences
it is known they represent the
reform element in the Republican party of AL
ALBANIA and their votes can hardly go to Blaine,
except in complimentary way. JUDGED, it is
known that the leading members of the delega-
are friendly to Bristow.
1t was discovered tonight that some persons
are engaged in preparations for filling the bal.
comics with Blaine claquers. The tickets are
being distributed to men under the control and
influence of certain politicians. The intention
is to carry the convention by storm on the Sec
ond ballot. 1t is said that even today during
the nomination speeches, some of those outside
friends of Blaine delegates freely voted on
questions decided bysa viva voce vote,
The rule adopted to-day to put out any
changes after the vote shall be taken may de-
feat these plans.
Gov Noyes is more confident than at any
time of the ultimate success of Gov. Hayes
He claims that Hayes is the only candidate be.
fore the convention on whom the diverse inter-
ests can be concentrated.
He has assurances from other delegations
that at the proper time the votes will be trans
ferred to the Ohio candidate, and according to
figures in his possession he expects the nomin.
dIlou VI hayes on tn6 tnlru ballot. In the
event of his nomination either William A.
Wheeler or Lieut.. Gov. Woodford of New York
will be the nominee for Vice President
NEW YORK, June 16, 3 a. ma private de-
spatch from well informed source in Cincin-
natl expresses the opinion that Conkling's
chances are gone; that the Blaine strength is
broken, and that the nomination of Bristow or
Hayes is probable. The friends of Bristow
are more confident
Blaine Still tine Favoritc inINew York.
New YORK, June 15.-Wagers are still made
on Wall street, three to one, that Blaine will
be nominated for President A prominent
broker this morning staked $4,000 for Blaine on
the result. As the nomination approaches the
interest in Wall street increases. Bulletins of
kilograms from Cincinnati are every few min
utes posted in the Stock Exchange and Gold
Room, and men throng around the bulletin
boards at the newspaper offices.
How Bristow Feels AboutIt.
WASHINGTON, June ia friend of Secre-
tary Brstow in this city has received telegram
from Cincinnati, asking whether Mr.. Bristow
would take second place on a ticket, This
telegram being shown to the Secretary he said
that as he did not banker after the first. he
would, under no circumstances, accept the sec
Ond.
Mr. Bristow was at his office this mornjng
and received many callers He said to one Of
them that as he did not expect to be dominated
he could not be disappointed if any other gem
tleman should be selected, and he was grateful
to his friends for their efforts in his behalf.

amid the greatest applause exhibited in the
convention to nominate Benz. HI. Bristow in
obedience to the instructions of the entire Re-
publican party OF his state. The announce
ment OF his name was the signal for another
tremendous round of applause. Harlan pro-
ceeded at length and forcibly to state Bristows
public record, being frequently interrupted by
cheers.
Judge Poland of Vermont seconded the
nomination and referred to the fact that
larger proportion of people Of his stste belong
to the Republican party than is the case in
almost any other state. Vermont had no can
didate of its own, but has deep interest in
this convention. The crisis is an important
one. The boast of the Democracy is that they
go into this canvass with united South in
their favor. This is probably true, and so it
needs only comparatively small fragment of
the Northern vote to remit the Gestnes of the
country again to the hands of those who sought
to break up the Union.
Mr.. Curtis of New York took the platform
amid long and loud applause in behalf Of that
vast body OF Republicans of New York, who
have seen that reform is possible within the
Republican party because they have seen the
heavy arm of the government descend upon the

record from the beginning OF the rebellion when
he took his life in his hand to the present time.
In conclusion he SAID if this is not to be the

party it must 90 into the canvass with these
cries; first absolute protection of all the rights
