Easy to be Original.

Those who sketch, paint, draw or write
will be interested in the words Of Mr.. II. W
Mesdag, one of the modern Dutch painters, a
little conversation with whom is given by
Mrs. Emma Eames Chase in her pleasan,
article, Dutch Painters at Home" in the
Century for March. Talking about some
paintings in his studio. Mr.. Mesdag said:
They are good and true because the men
who painted them devoted their lives to an
endeavor to depict Nature as they saw her
thro ugh their own eyes-not as some one be-
fore them had seen her, not after changing
and reconstructing her to conform to specific
academic rules, but fresh and
ever variable as they found
her; and then not by little dabblng in
paint, but by an earnest and perseyering ap
plication of such knowledge as is recognized
to be legitimate in good art, by wholesome
devotion to nature, and by determination
to be original
But is there much opportunity left to be
original now?" asked Mrs. Chase. at
seems though everything had been done,
and that all which follows must more or less
resemble the work of some man or school
that has gone before"
My dear friend" said Mr.. Mesdag lay
Ing his hand lightly upon my shoulder, ''it
is as easy to be original to-day, as it ever
was; for that lies in the man, and not in
the time in which he happens to live. To
be original it is best to avoid academies,
which have set rules for things that
are subject to no rule; where you are set to
copy the work of other hands and brains, in
stead of teaching you the use of your own;
and where all votaries of this beautiful art
are put through the same mill, regardless of
genius or taste, and with no reference to
what their subsequent aims may be. Go to
work for yourself, with the criticism of
good master, il possible; and if you can sue
coed in reproducing on canvas the effect Ma
ture produces upon you the result must be
original, for Nature never looks at two peo-
pie with precisely the same face"
Truer words were never spoken, and
young artists or writers who are clever with
brush and pen should give them great con-
sideration and study. Then they will throw
away what they have already thought good,
and do " ork that will be original and worthy.

The genial stage drivers who have charge
of the mail routes running into this city, are
slightly perplered. The contracts for car
rying mail on their routes for the next four
years have almost all been bid of by un-
known spectators, most of whom have
probably never visited this State. As, of
course, these contractors have no idea of
managing the routes themselves, it follows
that they must sub let them to other parties,
and Just who those parties will be is the per-
picking question. The route from this city
to Weeks Mills which was bid off for 1870
this year brought 1884 four years ago and
the present driver says that he has lost
money even at that rate. As the route
from Augusta to Liberty was also taken at a
ruin0usly low rate, for which no one can
afford to keep it up, and the same is true of
other routes, it seems quite likely that the
contractors will be unable to procure any
one to carry the mail except at q material
advance.

The constellation of Cancer will be on the
meridian at nine o'clock for the evenings of
this month. Unlike its neighbors it is
marked by no brilliant stars. At present,
however, Saturn is near its eastern boundry.
The location of this constellation may easily
be found, for it lies midway between the
stars Castor and Pollux on the west and
Regulus and Gamma Leonis on the east.
To the naked eye there appear, in Cancer a
very hazy cluster of stars known to the an
clients as Proesepe. By pair of strong
opera glasses, however, this indistinct clus-
ter is resolved into two or three sets of small
stars.
