Jules DuPRE.

Maurice Hamel, in The Art Journal.
London, June. says: Jules Dupre. tho
founder and last survivor of the school
which first revealed tho beauties Of
pastoral France, is dead. Ia his youth
Dupre strove for originality in the art
VI landscape painting and succeeded
without any sacrifice of truth.
He was always studying I.ature, in
the hope that he might one day walk
without crutches. as he once wrote to
his friend Sensier. According to that
love for nature. he paioted the charac-
teristios Of different parts OF France.
,Limousin, toe Valley Of the Disc. etc..)
the Pyrenees and England. He was
born in the calm countries Of Iislo
Adam. where he spent the greater part
of his life.
Even hia latest works were as fresh
as the first. Dupre, the patriarch OF
modern art, was an active, nervous,
keen-eyed old man. His conversation
was fascinating and fun of auecdote
concerning Decamps, Bsryes, Chena-
ward and other celebrated srtists, Of
whom he spoke as soldier of tho
first empire would have spoken OF q
MIrat.
His work Is full of poetry aud senti-
ment the future will do him justice

WORLDS FAIR AND SABBATH.
A line of pTecedents has been estab-
lished in connection with preceding
State and National fairs. They have all
respected the laws of the land and the
religious convictions Of the American
people. Even in the Vienna and Paris
Exposilions the American departments
las also the British were closed on the
Sabbath. This line Of precedent has
been kept unbroken only by v'gilant
and determined resistance 10 adverse
forces, which with every opportunity
renew their assault. If the advocates
of Sabbath. breaking exhibition
prevail, it will establish prece-
dent for The future. The bad example
would be followed by all similar enter
prises, permanent museums. art gal
leries and cOncertTOoms, and in Close
succession the opera and theatre. a
long step will have been taken i'll the
further secularzation of the Sabbath.
la most important sense the Chicago
exhibition will be the parting of the
ways to the American people. The oc-
casion demands prompt and strenuous
action. The importance of tie inter
ests at stake, and a wise regard for the
success of the Fair itself, justify and
require the settlement by Congress in
the legislation which gives to the enter
prise organic existence. Friends OF the
Sabbath everywhere should write to
THEN Representatives and Senators,
urging this course. Christian States
