exact facsimile OF Admiral Murray of
the United States navy, who was then
stationed at New Orleans. One night an
old salt of Murray's command was sit
ting in the front row of the gallery.
When Sir Joseph Porter made his first
entrance, he gazed upon him for mo-
ment as IL doubling the evidence Of his
senses, and then muttered to himself
sotto voce, 'tI'm blest if that isn't old
Murray"
Rising from his seat and making q
sea scrape, he called out, GOOD day,

going to eject him, but the manager of
the house, who had observed him, for
bade it and told the officer to let the old
fellow enjoy himself to his hearts con-
tent so long as he did not become SO
boisterous as to disturb the performance.
Whenever Sir Joseph came ON OF

rise and honor him with salute, and

italian AR. Has Spent Its Force.

=
I'm the nature of things il was not to
be supposed that much excellence of
painting could come ont of Italy, says
Mr.. John c. Van Dyke. in writing OF
the display of painting at the World q
fair in The Century.
As we'll expect fine marbles from
modern Greece or bas-reliefs from Meso-
potamia The flower is blown, and even
the stalk is in q dry rot. The art genius
of Italy typified itself in countless forms
during the renaissance. It spent it's
force, eliminating with Titan and dy-
ing with Tiepolo in an art peculiar to it's
age and people The present race can
not repeat the triumphs of the past, nor
have they the versatility or strength to
produce new art in keeping with new
tastes. So ,@''
The attempts of most of the moderns
are pitiful in their weakness. Pictures
Of the Roman Campagna, with ruined
aqueducts, pictures of the pyramids, St.
Peters, the Forum, Pompeiian flower
girls at fountains, monks, fruit sellers,
beggars-how much better are they
than the tourist pictures Of castled Chill
lon or the Jnngfrau, with an Alpine
glow collar around it's top! Penelope's 8
suitors with the bow Of Ulysses and the
modern Italians with the palette of I'll
tian! What could they do that would
not seern pctig hy comparison: That
which is I1alial is mediocre III quality,
and that which Is very good is not Ital-
ian.
