ART AND ARTISTS.
RAPID WORK IN THE PAINTING OF
PICTURES.

Several references have been made
in eastern papers to the fact that VIM.
Hawthorn, of Philadelphia, recently
sold a picture for $1,000 that only took
him little over a day to paint, and
one exchange considers that the figure
is too high for the work OF Il few hours,
no matter who he is, aor how great
genius. Whoever takes this position
has a narrow view of the work OF a
how many years he has spent in ac-
curing the knowledge and power that
enabled him to work with such zap
ldity; no one but himself could figure
out how many sketches he has thrown
away that took him days and weeks
to paint, nor how many pictures in
which ne took pride and worked out
with loving patience, still hang upon
his walls unnoticed by picture buyers.
Indeed, 1t is likely that the pictures in
which an artist usually takes pride are
the ones that he finds it most difficult
to sell.
Just because a. picture is painted
quickly does not make it less valu-
able. On the contrary, some of the
best things Of ancient or modern times
seem to have been done with wonderful
speed and deXterity. Michel Angeles
David, as well as his Moses, was prob
ably finished in an incredibly Short
time Some things must be done quick
~ to be done well. IL you wanted your
leg sawed off you would be willing to
pay the highest price to the surgeon
Who would do 1T the quickest, good
work considered. SO it is with some
kinds OF painting.

The members of the French salon Of
the Champs de Mars sent a number of
pictures to the Antwerp Exhibition. on
the condition that they were to take
no part in an award of distinctions for
merit. One Of the principles that led
to the formation of this salon was to
do away with the custom Of giving
medals and distinctions for artistic
merit In spite of this condition, how
ever. the official jury insisted on ex-
smining and also in distributing recon-
penses among the various artists who
belong to the society. These distinc-
tions have been in every case politely
but firmly declined.

Built Two Centuries Before Christ, Dis
covered in Turkestan.
The Russians have made Il slngu
lar discovery in Central Asia. In
Turkestan, on the right bank of the
Amau Daria, is a chain Of rocky
hills near the Dokharan town of
Karki, and a number oflarge caves
which, upon examination, were
found to lead to an underground
city, built apparently long before
the Christian era,
According to efflgies, Inscriptions
and designs upon the gold and
silver money unealthed from
among the ruins, the existence Of
the town dates back TO some two
centuries before the birth of Christ
The underground Bokharan city
is about two versts long, and is
composed of an enormous labyrinth
of corridors, streets and squares
surrounded by houses and Other
buildings two or three stories higA
The edifces contain all kinds OF
domestic utensils, pots, urns, vases
&c.
The high degree of civilization
attained by the inhabitants of the
city is shown by the fact that they
built in several stories, by the
symmetry of the streets and
squares, and by the beauty of the
baked clay and metal utensils, and
of the ornaments and coins which
have been fourd.
1t is supposed that long centuries
ago this city, so carefully conceal
ed in the bowels of the earth, pro
vided an entire population with g
refuge from the inculsions of nom
adic savages and robbers.

AT the present time the Bank of
France has in its Golfers not only
the largest stock Of gold and silver
in the world, but the amount has
never been paralleled in the his
tory of finance. The figures are
colossal, and, stated as they are in
frances, they are beyond the grasp
of an average individual. Ten
numerals in q row convey very
inadequate notion of the magni-
tude Of the sum. Deduced into
pounds sterling, we find that the
gold and silver reserves in posses
sion of the Bank of France exceed
the value of 9132, 100000, of which
roughly speaking, something un
der two thirds is in gold, the stock
of silver amounting to about ESQ,

Ho. Johnny Bull, wipe off your
chin
And stop your bluffing talk;
When Yankees want to beat your
trains
They just get out and walk.
You said about month ago,
With much excess of bluff,
That when we knew how fast you
went.
We'd simply cry enough.
You also made a few remarks
About Old England's style
Of splitting atmosphere and such,
That made us Yankees smile.
You intimated, more or less,
That as you'd set the pegs,
If we should try to equal it
We'd run clean off our legs.
| You Furthermore asserted that
You'd make the time so fast,
That we would hang that record
up
And keep it there to last.
Some other things perhaps you
said,
But in the later light
Of what we've done along the
rails,
Well drop them out of sight.
For we have very recently
Slid through to Buffalo
At such record-breaking speed,
That your best time seems slow.
We hauled a.heavier train than
yours,
And made a longer run,
And what you thought was blamed
hard work,
We thought was jolly fun.
Now, Johnny, trot your fastest
out
Against us, any day,
And let US show you how wei
dust
Its headlight all the way.
Or if you'd rather not try that,
Go do your very best,
And when you've got your record
made
Well knock it galley-west.
We don't talk much about suci
things,
We're modest, don't you know
But, John, whatever else we are,
You bet that we're not slow.
CONFIDENTIAL.
And say, John, while you're OF
the hunt
For something that is fleet,
Perhaps you'd better try to find
A yacht that we can't beat.
