Professor Iopp1n on Greek Sculpture
 [Fron the New York Tribune.l

Professor J. M. Hoppin. of the Yale School of Fine Arts, iectured to a large audienos last evening in Association Hall on Greek Sculpture" The lecture was finely illus trated. The lecturer, who was introduced by William B. Dodge, said: Art belongs neither to religion nor ethics, yet it brings us nearer to the divine. The power of Greek sculpture is something peculiar throughout the world of art. As Greek statues were emanations of the loftiest minds, they have been models in all times. CRnova strove to revive the antique. If these statues were all lost their effect upon art and literature would still remain. They convey their mes than of color. The Greeks conception of God, as shown in their statues, was Of per feet human form. Greek sculpture is per petual sacrament of mans beauty. To be conversant with the art of Greece Is to live among race of gods endowed with perpet- ual youth.
 The lecturer then reviewed the history of Phioias as in some sense the founder of the finest school of Grecian art. It is remarka- ble, he said, that the splendid art of Lis time belongs to 8 republican era, the period of Hellenic freedom. Art, though Rourishing most where there is most cultivation, is yet hardy plant. Giotte's tower was erected under republican institutions, and most of the Italian artists sprang from tho people. An American art, too, will arise when we have become a more homogeneous people.
 The various great works of Phidias were then considered, and an interesting desorip- ton was given of the manner in which the colossal figures of ivory and gold were made. Phidias was placed by the lecturer st the summit of artistic renoVn. He was truly a great man, for the great man is he who orig mates great ideas and also has the power to impress them on his age. Ssch was Moses in religion, Homer in poetry aad Phidias in art.

Low Prices for Iron and Steel.

Low Prices for Iron and Steel.
It has been evident for some time
past that our smelling works and
rolling mills, workinggsat about their
full capacity as they have been, were
competing 50 closely: for the trade
offering as to leave very small mar
gins tor any possible profit in the
business. The situation was made
yet more serious, as affecting many
producers, by the reduction, early in
the month, Of the price of steel rails
from $37 to- $35 per ton for rails for
winter delivery. Mill proprietors
have, ever since the stboom'' in prices
in 1870, when rails sold at $85 per ton,
been studying how to reduce the cost
of production, and economizing in
every directions, but it was thought
that when the price had declined to
$40 a ton, this was. as low rs the
manufacturers could afford to run
their mills for. That this is so with
many of them is proved by the fact
that at once we had announcement
of the stoppage of rolling mills, and
furnaces blowing out in different
sections, although only very limited
contracts were made for rails at $35 a
ton. The proprietors had in most
1H ~ ~. = =
cases been running on, steel rails at
$37 a ton in the hope of an improving
market, but the drop in prices with
the tendency in the iron market gem
orally TO lower figures, will undonbt-
edly cause the closing Of many estab-
lishment during . part or the whole
of the winter. IN bar iron. pipe,
nails, ETC., although there is said to
be no oyerstock on the market, buyers
are only purchasing IN small qnanti-
ties, according to their immediate
needs, apparently satisfied that in
these, as in some other staple manu-
factures. prices arc most likely to
decline. or remain where they are,
than to advance sciisntifc An.erican.
