Miss Matte Sedgwick is another lady
artist Of considerable ability, and has
a very large class in decorative art. Shere-
ceiyed her education principally IN New
welL-known teachers.
CHEERFUL AND ssTHETIo STUDIO.
Her studio differs a great deal from that
of Miss Logan. and is more cheerful, "a pic
lures of flowers and pretty landscapes be-
deck the walls. Here all sorts of work IN
the aesthetic line is done, from painting on
muslin TO decorating china. ms latter II
practiced a great deal by the pupils, and
some of the painting done by them ~ e1-
ouisite. In decorating porcelain and emma
5ilt is used TO n large extent, and when
added to the delicate shades makes very
pretty effect.
IMPERIAL CESAR" SMILES on ART.
A skull-but of decidedly more modern
and dtstinqle appearance than that IN MISS
Logan's studio-is also kept by Miss Sedg-
wick, and over its ossItiod features there
seems 10 fit q genial. non-earthly smile, as
IL il approves the decorative rather than
a - Txuo hnnGg nrg Also
kept in a sort of cupboard, and these, TO-
gether with the capital organ, are ottlme5
hauled out, "piratlcally" grouped, ana
painted 10y deft, pretty fingers. In tact,
nearly all artists have sort OF IonuheSS
for drawing skulls, as the lights and shad-
ows are SO clearly brought out.
HAzY LANDSCAPES IN PASTEL.
The larger part of Miss Sedwick's pupils
work In pastel, which is growing IN popu-
larity every day. In this style OF painting
the artist can draw much more rapidly, as
there is very little outlining to be done;
and the principal thing ia careful and
tasteful blending Of the colors. PICTURES
i'm pastel ornament almost every parlor
now, aud are admired very much.

OTHER sKuFUL LADY ARTISTS.
Among the portrait-painters Of this city
Miss Adele Williams is one OF the most
talented. 4 very fine specimen OF her
work may be seen at the Chamber OF COM
MERGE in q picture OF the late george Il
Miss Maria Morris and Mss Eva Chalk
lev also paint very prettily, and some OF
their landscapes and flowers are very
creditable. Both of these ladies give In
structions and have large classes.
A very pretty sketch from life" Pretty
os a Picture was on exhibition about q
month ago al Leftwich's 1t was painted
bv Miss Rosa Lichtenstein, young laly
who has only been studying short ume.,
Very few OF our male citizens nave much
knowledge Of art, and though they some
times puzzle their wits greatly IN tho selec-
ton of a crayat, beyond that they nave no
moro idea of color and shadows than cat.
The following gentlemen, however, pre-
sent exceptions 10 this rule: Messr3. Jen e.
son Wallace. the former editor OF the
Critic; Greed T. Davis, Sidney Petlcola.s,
George Reid, W. mcfarland Jones. IL. A;
Broek. secretary Of the Virginia Historical
Society, aud John Brodna0, OF Slanches-
ter. This latter gentleman IS the caflcic
turist for the Ledder, whue specimens OF
Mr. Wallaco's work were seen on the cal
cium-hght screen IN front Oh the D'SPH4'
Office on election night.
b[r. Brock Is perhaps the only man in
this city who can make sllhOuettes. rms
/ is rather novel style of work, and IS done
with scissors, excellent and correct prohIes
Of persons being cut from paper.
LOVERS or THE GAMBIA.
To mention the artists of this city, and
omit the amateur photographers would De
rather unjust. as they belong to TINS class
and do some very pretty work. since
/ the invention OF the KODAK the practlce
/ of photographiug has become very popu-
I lar and even Indies have become victims
/ of the craze.
/ Sometimes the artists Of the camera
make long excursions into the county and
/ take the pictures of old historic houses,
/ fields and rustic scenes. The most con-
/ srGcuous figure in the amateur photo
/ oraphic world il Coroner William Ii. lay

most every object for miles around TINS
