LA BELLE RlviERE."

Past, Present and Future of tho Fine Arts
In the City of Cincrnnati--Its Primitive
School and Modern Ornate shrines Of
the Artist and sculptor.
The study and cultivation of tho fine
arts in Cincinnati has been co-extensive
with the pursuit and development of the
industrial arts That community Is for
tunate whose citizens Of wealth and in
telligence seek not only to adorn their
own estates, but, in a spirit of philan-
thropy, aim to benefit the public by a
liberal patronage of the works of master
minds. They may build mansions after
the various schools of architecture and
adorn them according to their means with
the works of the artist and sculptor, tho
scientist and savan; they may establish
luxuriarr private grounds ana gardens
embelli.hed with all the beauties of hor-
ticultufe, and, withal, the public may re-
ceive no benefits. But when these tastes
are accompanied by generous public
spirit, and in accordance Herewith tenn

meet to carry out the objects embodied In
the munificept gifts tq the public from
their benefactors, and every year brings
abundant evidence of the influence and
value Of these institutions, then does that
community become an acknowledged CEN
ter of culture apd refinement.
There is no chapter In the history OF
Cincinnati which does not bear upon the
progress made IN the cultivation Of the
fine arts. The founding of the Mechanics
Institute, slxtyrthrcs years ago, was ~
suspicIous beginning; and the establish-

this institution is located. To the left is
"La Belle Riviere, IN majestic, sweeping
course, between the rolling, verdant slopes
of Eden Park and the forest covered hills
of Kentucky. TO the right is Mt. Auburn.
Before and below is the city, and around
are the beautiful, and not seldom the law
ishly endowed homes of Walnut Hills. The
Museum is granite structure of impos-
ing architecture known as the Florentine
Romanesque with square tower and nina
ret. Within while treading upon massive
tile flooring or velvety carpeting, q glow
of enthusiasm accompanies the perception
of the quiet and tasteful elegance in mar
BILE walls and gilded sisylights and cell
ings. The gems, too, are worthy of their
setting. The gifts and loans in costly
sculpture and painting, heraldric armor,
emblems and emb,azonments, eXquisitely
wrought and carved furniture, rich tapes
tries aid hangings, ceramics, bric-aIbrac
and countless other forms, features and
favoritisms in the enchanting realm of
aesthetics make up n study in the school
of the divine muses. which inspires and
WHITES even the stole.
And these collections are not the re-
suits of unmcthodic saunterings i'm art
centers, but after study AMI intimate as
sociation with master minds for years.
They are the pro luct of extended travels,
largesse of wealth, and very often pro-
tracted effort and successful achievement
in the practical pursuit of the arts. They
include not oily the works of the old
masters, but the masterpieces of the
genius-gif ed of the present. The Amer
lean sculptor, painter and student of the
various arts is frequently met with, and
how many of these have developed under
the influence an | In ip; >ltion of that taste
and culture and refinement for which the
Queen City is fimA |. 1t is not to enumer-
ate. 1t is sufficient honor that, among
the other conlucsts of the century just
closing, not only in tbs ,usy marts of in
dustry, but in the schools of science and
literature and in the cultivation of music
still equal laurels are due to tn s modern
abode of the mu ,es, for her patronage and
perpntuation of those divine arts which
have come down to lis from that ancient
| Hellenic Metropolis.

designs Of its founders.
There many youth, after the tolls Of
the day, and when 1t would seem that his
exhausted nature demanded the healthful
restorative Of rest, has applied himself to
practical study and received an In

higher honors. It is said with no little
truth that the muses. seldom choose their
votaries from the salons Of afilucnce, but
more often from that enthusiastic class
who seek out the pearl of value--Fame
amid the Lethean waters of want and
privation. And this is no more clearly
illustrated than In the success which has
attended the first efforts of the proteges
of this institution.

history of tho fine arts in Cincinnati is

bridge consists of five spans, one of 1l0
feet, door span of 3i0 feet, two spans of
800 feet, and the longest, or channel span
of $40 feet. The original estimated cost
of the bridge proper was SGG3,5iO, but
the cost of the approaches and the eX-
penses incurred in overcoming additional
difficulties which always present them
selves in gigantic engineering projects
increased this amount to $3.50, 900.

Some persons pushed a large New
foundland dog off the bank into the
river above Niagara Falls, near Pros
pect Point, on the Canada side a few
Gays ago, expecting, no doubt, to
see him dashed to pieces Oh the rocks
below. They were doomed to dis
appointment, however, for after being
carried over the cataract the animal
landed in the deep pool just under the
point, swan around in the eddy for
a very short time, and finally reached
the rocks on the shore. He pulled
himself up and walked to the foot of
the inclined railway, the door ofwhich
was opened for him. and the drenched
brute was allowed to walk up the
long flight of stairs and into the park.
Ten minutes after he was playing
about the park, apparently none the
worse for his recent hazardous ex-
perience. A similar experiment was
also tried another day, when a small
canine was thrown off one of the
small islands into the current on the
American side. He went over the
falls, swan to the bank, crawled up,
wagged his tail in triumph, and walk
ed off unharmed. Graham, who sent
his little Spitz dog over in an ale
cask, feels pretty sick when told of
these occurrences. He says a man
will be able to dive over the falls
pretty soon and come out all right.

Gus other accomplishments In primary sur

called his assistance in many amputations

taught him much in surgery and the science

in which it is said that those who arc the
most successful arc those who have the
eyes of an eagle, the hands OF lady and

Having received his diploma, Luke began
to cast about for place to practice his pro-
fession, and wisely settled upon New York
City, as there, on account Of the more cos
mopolitan character of the population, he
would have less to antagonize in the way Of

acquired a good practice, especially among

near his end. The man was so far beyond

nothing could be done for him. He had
been bed-ridden for many months, and thus

Fitting Tn Hotel Roofs.

There is movement on foot to fit
up gardens on the roofs of the differ
ent hotels somewhat after the style of
the roof garden on the Casino. Ifthe
idea is carried out it will, no doubt,
keep a great many people in the city
during the summer who would other
wise go to the country or seashore.
A great many private dwellings, in
town are fitted up with these beauti-
ful gardens, where, during the warm
summer evenings, the tenants sit and
enjoy themselves in an atmosphere
several degrees cooler than in the
street.
If the movement becomes general.
as it is thought, this city in a short
time will resemble the city of Baby
Ion, with the famous hanging gar
dens. Then the workers on their way
to their daily toll will walk through
avenues of flowers and an atmos-
phere laden withsweet perfumes.-New
