Arts and Ancient Races" The Yankees, as a
nation, have always labored under the idea that
they are the most civilized people of all the ma
tons, that are now or ever have been upon the
face of the earth. They much resemble in this
respect the old Dutchman who always removed
his hat in the presence Of himself, eseeming his
own qualities OF superiority far above those OF
anyone else. But modern science and investiga-
ton have proved conclusivey that such is not the
fact. From numerous discoveries it is evident
that ancient races have lived who have acquired
| much greater perfection than Americans. The
art of painting is lost. The people of antiquity so
mixed their paints that they would not fade.
Chemists can ind nothing in them different than
the ordinary material of to-day. Therefore those
pa ntings of the old masters retain the purity of
their inting after the lapse of ages, and call out
the wonder and dmiration of the nineteenth CEN
tury. There is one lost art which is of more impor-
lance than anyone would at first suppose and hat
