the country and alarmed Europe, the Republic
can party ought to loudly proclaim its priuci-

Stage and Atelier.

The Academy gives from Venetian journal
some details about the monument to be erected
to Titan at Pieve di Cadore his birthplace,
ION the tercentenary of his DEATH. Titan
died in 1876; so the tercentenary has already
passed by, but it is pleasant to know that his
monument will be worthy of him. The statue
by Del lotto, Venetian, is of more than life
size, and we are assured that ''the whole effect
OF the figure is full of lfe and expresses at the
same time the calm repose of age, the natural
vivacity of the artist and the dignity of genius.
1t will stand with the face turned towards the
cottage In which he first saw the light and on
whose walls-as tradition tells-his youthful
hand traced the first lines; the proud and keen
pinnacles of the Marmarole, which, true artist
and true Cadorin, he never forgot even among
the homage OF the great, will form worthy cor
onet behind his head.'
Kate Field writes that there are two ''old
masters" in England that ought to be in Amer.
lea. They are owned by c. G. Coleman, New
York artist, who got them in Venice; he will
sell to the United States for $40, 900, but asks
$4,000 of England. The paintings represent
the siege of Pisa by the Florentines in 14O6, and
the battle of Anghiere in 144O, and the painter
was Paolo di Dono, called Accello, from his
love of painting birds. All the authorities in
England are delighted with the pictures, Burne
Jones, Alma Tadema, Leighton and John Rus
kin; besides Planche, who, in recent lecture,
disputing the authenticity of work attributed
to Acccllo in the National gallery, gave full
x warrant to these. Mr.. Planche's judgment is
based upon theological criticism. lie takes
the ground that picture which exhibits armor
tnat WASH in fashion until after the alleged
palnter's death couldn't have been painted by
him-any more than will written on paper
water-marked 1877 would have been executed
in 1857, say.
The peculiar relations between Osip and
Anna, the principal characters in The DAM
chefs (at the Union Square, New York; are
not the dramatic novelty some have imagined,
but are as old as Greek tragedy. A situation
identical in most respects is depicted in the
Electra of Euripdes, where the daughter of
Agamemnon has been given in marriage to
peasant, by her mothers paramour, Egisthus,
to keep her out of the way, and the two live
in the same separation and respect which Osip
and Anna maintain toward each other. There
Is, however, the difference that in the Russian
play the rank of the two is originally the same
80 that the element of disparity of station
does not affect Osip's feeling as it ldoes that Of
the peasant of Euripides, who tells Electra,
the daughter of q noble house." Electra re-
pies, II consider you friend equal to the
gods, for in my misfortune you have not ill.,
suited me-" Pierre Nevsky, the name given
to the Russian author as the play, is said to be
an alias for kurnovsky, and another srumor
Paris Varieties. One letter-writer makes him
identical with Prince LTbomirski, who has
been dramatizng, under Sardou's direction,
his novel Of The Exiles.

ROME, May Sin the chamber of deputies
to-day, Minister Melegari in answer to
deputy who had given notice of an interpella-
ton relative to the re-actionary movement
commenced abroad in favor of the restoration
of the temporal power of the Pope, said the
agitation was the work of private individuals,
and deserved no serious consideration. The
powers were convinced that the Church and the
Pope .enioyed complete liberty and indepen-
dence. The powers have never addressed any
observations to the government on the subject.
The Interpolation was postpnned upon the
suggestion OF the government, Signor Nicotera
stating that postponement would show that

them.
