THE GREAT EASTERN GONE.
The Leviathan Broken Up for Old Iron
After Thirty Years Service.


From the London Graphic.
We have so often been called upon in past
wears to announce the last, and the very
last, and positively the last of this magnif-
cent but generally useless ship, which has
fingered on, through an obscure and profit
less existence, since her single voyages to
New York, New Orleans and Melbourne
proved commercial failure, that the
stranded hull on the Mersey shore, ready to
be broken up for a few thousand pounds
worth of old iron, may seem but a remin-
iscence Of the fate repeatedly declared to be
imminent and commonly believed to be
past.
1t is thirty years since she first put Co sea
from the Thames, and her passage down the
Channel was marred by a shocking disas-
ter-from the blow up of her steam appa-
ratus, which cost ten lives: but the Iabori-
GUS efforts to launch this enormous
Leviathan, as she was at first called, in 1857,
from Mr.. Scott-Russell's building yard at
Millwall, had been ominous of ill success
Men were killed by the breaking of the
gear attached to hydraulic engines that
slowly pushed her, broadside on, into the
comparatively narrow river, and Mr.
Brunei, the eminent engineer, dying few
few days afterward, was thought to be a
victim Of sore anxiety and severe disap-
pointment.
One servlceaole and honorable perform
ance, the laying Of an Atlantic telegraph
cable in 1866, is set down to the credit of
the Great Eastern; but experience has
shown that vessels of modern sizs can do
such work as well. 1t is a sad chapter in
the history of marine architecture, and
some people must have lost at one time aad
another nearly million sterling altogether
by this immense mistake The Great
Eastern might, perhaps, have been convertd
into very commodious floating hotel,
moored in some tranquil bay; she could
never have been good sea-going ship, or
competed in speed, comfort or safety with
ton. Her engines, indeed, were manifestly
of insufficient power, and she rolled griev-
ously for lack of a keel. The dimensions of
the big ship were COL feet length, SO feet
width and 60 feet depth; capacity, 22,50C
tons burden.

Here is a specimen of American humor
and the English appreciation of it: Book
Chat, an American literary publication
said that Hugh Conway's talent deteriorated
rapidly after his death. The Literqru
World of London gravely calls attention to-
this and says that the remark seems to be
made quite seriously, without any appre-.
citation of the bull it perpetrates. 1t is
necessary, therefore, to explain to the
Literary World that after Hugh Conway's
death novel after novel purporting to have
been written by him was placed before the
public. 1t seemed to many people that
those novels could not have been written by.
Hugh Conway during his life, and, there,
fore, the natural inference was that thew
must have been written by the novelist
after his death. In fact, if the LiterarM
World wishes diagram of this joke, it has.
only to send up from its office on Fleets
street to the Free Press Office on The Strand
and the same will be furnished to it.-De-
trOit Free Press.

W. M CHASE ON THE ART LOOKOUT.


Never in the history of art in this coun-
try has the outlook been more ENCOURAGING
than at the present moment That is to
say, for painters producing pictures of real
worth The situation, also, is no longer an
embarrassing one as regards the character
of the works produced, and there is a steady
increase in the demands for meritorious
works by American artists These facts
are patent, despite the cutlery made in
some quarters that the pictures of foreign
painters are driving out the work of our
own artists and initiating against home
advancement.
Perhaps the first and best reason for this
satisfactory condition of affairs lies in the
fact that tho artists of to-day are, with
rare exceptions, men who have received
liberal educations in the best art schools of
Europe. The result of this is that a pic.
ture exhibited now 1s found to be good
only when it reaches the standard estab-
llshed by the fine foreign work that comes
to US. The placing of this high standard
urges our men to harder work and more
carefully and intelligently directed en-
| deavor.
Fortunately, too, there is no cause for
| complaint in regard to the privilege OF
seeing examples of the best masters. So
cietles aud schools are being established all
over the country and sound principals arc
being taught. The societies and schools are
not being confined to the large cities only
but they and their influence are spreading
l1out into the smaller towns as well, and VIZ
