Nationality In Art.

The men most prominent in American
art today are, in the majority, Of Partisan
training, so much so that the most familiaf
reproach directed against their work "a
that It lacks national character. That this
criticism, il applied to a period Of transit
ton, has basis of truth is undeniable, for
nothing is more natural than that the first
steps in any career should be directed by
the influences which have presided over
preparatory studies. But II we take ten
years to be the shortest period in which q
young painter on his return from Europe
can gain foothold here, it will be found
at the end of that time that, subjected to
the various influences of the intellectual
and material life Of his native country, he
has taken on more Of our national charac.
teristics than he is given credit for.
Modern art is essentially cosmopolitan,
and as nations obey the iron rule of the
general average, so in art the national char,
acteristics become fused and blended until
they are questions Of detail more than of
fundamental construction. Paris fin de
steele has keen eye for detail, however,
and we may depend upon it that, measured
by its standards, the exhibition by our
painters may be found wanting in many
things rather than in the personality which
results from race and temperament modi-
fed by conditions of environment.-Scrib-
ner'S,

The Earliest Child's Book.

Asmight be supposed, the earliest book
that is assigned to the child is the Latin
grammar. Boys Latin grammar for
several centuries were mere text books
compiled from the larger works of Dona-
tus and Priscian, and they were COM
monty known by the name Of Donates
or Donets, a term which occurs in Piers
"Plowman." The word grammar, on
the contrary, was used more in conjunc-
ton with Latin studies generally, and
science, as well as even magical power,
was sometimes spoken of as grammarye.
A very commonly used school book in
monasteries seems to have been the
Consolation of Philosophy" Gin the orig.
inal, of course), by Boethius, of which AT
least fragment would most probably
be found even in the most meagef con-
vent library"
The earliest book in existence written
expressly for boys is here stated to be
Aldhelm's "De Septenario, de Metris,
Enigmatibus, &C Pedum Regulis."
which probably appeared about the end
of the Seventh century. A great part
of it consists Of dialogues between teach
er and pupil, in the style which was still
popular in the first half of the present
century, and may be found in such
works as Mrs Markham's History. The

When q Man Flatters.

AS many sirens as there are, so many
are their ways Of charming. There are
assaults and there are sieges, open bat
ties and ambuscades. The platonic af-
fection stalking horse is one of the most
frequent. There is ever danger present
when woman listens with patience to
mans talk about himself. Woman
fatters man on the qualities by which
she enslaves him. A woman never tells
a man that his will is of iron, save when
she is bending it to her own uses. Some
are attracted by the simplicity of a char
acter; but to many the difficulty of un-
derstanding a character constitutes it's
greatest, perhaps its only, charm, so
that when once they have probed it
they throw it aside as of no more inter-
est.-Murray's Magazine

Summer Furniture.

Decorations for summer homes are now
engrossing. The wide vine shaded piazzas
are justly regarded as the most delightful
lounging places and receive much atten-
tion from the tasteful housekeeper. Hand
some rugs are streWn about, low sewing
chairs flank trefoil and star shaped tables,
and divan piled with cushions is sine
qua non of all well regulated piazzas. For
the lower and most used veranda one COW
cred with corduroy may be recommended
to wear indefinitely. Dark blue or stone
blue are good colors though one seen last
summer of rich scarlet corduroy was Won
derfully effective after the sun went down.
These couches are usually covered plain,
with box plated valance of the material
around the seat. They are wide and low,
and their pillows are of many shapes,
square, oblong big and little, to fit into
restful attitudes Such couches are put
out in May and are not taken indoors till
November, and even under such conditions
keep fresh for number of seasons. Other
piazza divans are done up in blue denise,
which requires little embroidery at least
on the pillows to be effective.
For the upper verandas, where the wom-

NHawthofne,

Ancestry and local surroundings, men
tai gifts and mental defects, unite to
make Hawthorne the greatest master of
the preternatural, the magician of the
spell Of supernatural awe. From every
side come the elements which produce
the effect of unsubstantiality-his power
of pensive brooding, the brown twilight
color which wraps his figures in strange,
hazy atmosphere, the coldness of his
analysis, the self possession of his style,
the indefniteness of his touch, the inde-
terminateness Of his end. His heroes
and heroines have little warmth; they
scarcely talk like ordinary men and
women; they move self consciously;
they speak constrainedly, as though
there is something present which reads
their thoughts, notes their gestures,
registers their actions.
The human interest is never so over
powering as to break through the film
of the atmosphere. A master of the by
play Of suggestion, his hints meet us at
every turn. His subtle mind and pic
torial imagination give ghostly signifi-
cance to the commonest objects. He
works out the central idea in marvellous
detail, never presenting it nakedly, but
always giving it concrete shape, exhibits
it from fresh points of view, offers it in
new combination, till the reader ends
by feeling that he is himself haunted by
the impalpable, inevitable presence of
Hawthorne's ought.-Edinburgh Re

This Pensioner Had a Queer Career

Frank NJ. Pennington, well known
citizen here, has just been granted PEN
sion of eight dollars month. This was
one of the most complicated and interest
ing claims which has ever been filed in the
pension bureau. He is native Of Florida.
In April, 1861, he enlisted in Confederate
regiment for ninety days. Just before his
term expired he was conscripted for three
years. At the battle Of Kenesaw Mountain
he was captured.
While prisoner in Illinois he enlisted
in the United States navy, on board the old
Ironsides, where his gallantry in action at
the final assault on Fort Fisher is officially
mentioned. He was afterward transferred
to another vessel, and in consequence of
leaving it without proper papers he was
placed on record as deserter. The SEN
tence of desertion has been corrected and
an honorable discharge procured, with ar
rears of pay and now pension.-Burgetts
