Respectfully A READER.
/. The National Academy of Fine Arts in
this city is an institution to teach the art of
painting. The conditions imposed on the
pupils are such as are calculated TO produce
tho most advancepent. The expense is
small. The originator of the " National Acad-
emy Of Fine Arts" hopes in time TO make
this institution second to none in the coun-
try, but at present there is no comparison be-
tween it and the New York academy.
2. Burko's " Peerage" and Logan's High
land Clans give the history Of the family,
while any late encyclopedia furnishes bio.
graphical sketch of the marquis himself.
3. Sumatra tobacco can be grown in this
country as we'll rs in that island. Sumatra
tobacco is but variety Of the indigenous
American plant. As matter of fnct that
particular variety is grown in California.
