The artistic temperament is generally
supposed TO be Ill adapted for the fever Of
political life, but the attractions pre-
sented by such life in France must be
far greater than would appear if NJ.
Meissonier's resolution to stand for va
cant seat in the senate is to be satisfac,
tOrily accounted for. So ardent is he now
that he has announced his intention OF
forsakinG art If elected and Of devoting
his undivided energies to politics. In
these circumstances it is perhaps not un
kind to wish that VI. Meissonier may not
be elected. The loss to art would be
greater than any gain that would be
likely to accrue 10 the legislature from
his patriotic action, and Lord Tennyson's
lines might be paraphrased for the benefit
of the great artist, TO the effect that
pictures which nerve nations heart
are in themselves a deed. Pail Mall Ga
