The study of Greek sculpture

At the closing exercises of the Yale Art
school last Friday Professor Hoppin spoke
few off-hand words to the students upon the
years course in his own department. He
said: I have been much gratifed at the
apparent interest taken by the students of
the school in the lectures upon the History
of Greek Sculpture. We should try to be
many sided in our study of art-to view art
from all sides-not only its technique, or the
actual methods of producing art effects,
which is perhaps the most important in
practical point of view, but also its history,
its literature and its philosophy. In that
way alone we get a penetrating and compre-
hensive idea of art. The study of the histo-
ry of Greek sculpture is very educational
it leads us to the knowledge of the highest
civilization and culture, INTEL ectually speak
ing, that perhaps the world ever saw. 1t
has been said that Plato never came out Joa
race of barbarians. 1t was a culture also
which, with all its defects, was eminently
healthy. It had little that was morbid and
artificial.
The study of Greek sculpture also leads
us away from mere pettiness, or pret tiness
in Art, to true beauty. There was some
thing great about it. The old Greek artist
did not work for personal ambition, or for
the qualification of individual tastes and van
ity, but he worked for the State, for religion.
He worked for the elevation of the national
character.
The study of Greek sculpture again leads
us in every work of art In whatever de-
partment, to give prominence to some lead
in fhouohk fn make all nartS nntuQllV de-
pendent upon one controlling idea-thus
giving strength and tone to our picture, our
model, our architectural plan. 1t forbids
the confusion of half-thoughts and the scat
tering of forces.
Above all, the study of Greek sculpture
leads us to nature As have often tried to
show, this was the real secret of the superb
ority of Greek sculpture-this was its funda-
mental and inspiring idea. Greek sculpture
arose from the study of man, physically,
morally and intellectually. The Greeks
sought to give in their art the most perfect
expression of humanity. In this way they
were led to the deepest study of nature.
They strove to get at the creative ideas,
the very types of nature. They went be-
yond a meagre mannerism, and their sculp-
lures embody for the instruction of all oon-
ing generations the everlasting principles of
Art. I hope you will be conducted by this
study to the deeper study of nature itself
to wait patiently upon her teachings. The
kingdom of Art is like the kingdom of heav-
en-, it must be entered into by becoming
littIo child. One must be willing to have
humble and loving trust in the guidings of
nature, and to wait upon her least instruc-
tions, instead of attempting to control her
aud give her directions l am pleased to see
that in our exhibition of pictures this year
there are more landscapes, more sketches dl-
rsct1y from nature. This is an advance.

picturesque old house, situated about mile
from Concord village on the Lexington

been changed in its original outline, and
Aaany of the huge beams have been covered,
it still wears its ancient aspect Hawthorne

An amusing story is told about the ordina
ton of young English clergyman, whose
name was Salter. Nature had gifted him
with hair which was the reddest of the red.
Feeling that in the solemn ceremonial of his
ordination this red hair might be the cause
of irreverent mirth, especially as the ritual
prescribes that the bishop should touch it,
be determined to dye it black for the occa-
sion, which he did The bishop afterward
expostulated with the hapless Salter, and al
legged against him the authority of the rubric
in the prayer book which says, '"The Psalter

Taxation in South Carolina is evidently
not very fairly distributed. The aggregate
of land for taxation, as returned, gives an
average of So per acre, but an investor would
find it difficult to 60 into any county and
buy land at any such figure. In the item
''value of buildings" the aggregate for taxa
ton for the whole State is $1S, 614, $50. Of
this amount, $40, 582, SIT is for Charleston,
with its $4,000 people. The average cost on
this basis of housing each man, woman and
child in that city is 5000, while according to
the returns from the rest of the State, with
its population of 95o, 600, the average cost is
only So. In the two items of land and houses
it is estimated that $26s, 600, 600 of values be-
yond the limits of Charleston escape taxation
if the returns from that city are taken as the
standard.

The politicians are waking up all around,
but there has lately been no more interesting
and significant utterance than that of ex-
Governor Hendricks concerning Mr.. 1ilden
and himself Of Mr.. Tilden he said: ''Mr.
Tilden is one of the most remarkable citizens
of the republic. Everything that he does is
complete. A work to satisfy him must be
finished. His letter of acceptance was
treatise of perfect master on the whole sys-
tenn of political economy. His letter to the
last Cincinnati convention, every enemy ad-
mits, was one of the most ingenious docu-
ments that ever emanated from man, while
his friends feel that it was a strong, candid
stat ement from the highest possible plane of
patriotism. 1t is wonderful. He has lived
down every calumny Every SANDER awak
ened by the prosecutions of that fellow Bliss
and dismissed as soon as they ceased to be of
any political benefit would add to his
strength at this time. The whole country
has watched him closely since he was de-
frauded of the presidency, and there has been
everything in his life to inspire respect. He
is indeed grand man." Governor Hendricks
also thinks he hears loud call for the old
ticket and patriotically remarks: "When a
duty is required of us, however distasteful, it
must be performed. do not doubt that if
the old ticket were renominated it would be
elected" This appears to mean business.

There are altogether too many places of

Brazil is quite as badly off in this respect as
