Meissonier's ''1S07'' is in the New York
Metropolitan museum, having been bought
by the late A. T. Stewart and presented
to the museum by his business successor,
Judge Hilton.
1t is one of the artists largest and most
1abored works, and he appears to have
been at infinite pains to secure historical
accuracy in the details. For instance, he
learned from an officer who had served
under Ney that that general had been in
the habit of wearing his capote with the
sleeves hanging loose, after the fashion of
a hussar's jacket, and Ney is SO painted in
the picture. Having adverted to his idea
of giving merely hint of wars destruc-
ton by the trampling down of field of
unripe grain, he adds, "How many diff
culties might I not have avoided by re-
placing this green wheat with dustl'
Doubtless the trouble that the picture had
cost him made it seem to him more per-
feet than it really is. Yet he always re-
GREETED not having begun it earlier, when
there were more veterans of the Napoleonic
wars alive to supply him with further de-
tails.
An acknowledged feeling of dissatisfac-
ton with the picture partly on this, part
ly on purely artistic grounds, was perhaps
at the bottom of his painting the subject
all over again in water colors, quite as
much as the desire to have it engraved.
This water color was bought for 200, 00C
francs by a NJ. Simond. The original pic
ture cost Judge Hilton 25, 600 francs. We
need hardly add that it is now considered
one of the chief treasures Of the Metropol
itan museum.-Art Amateur.

Very DRY.

In his 'Recollections," published in
The Century, Aubrey de We're, the Irish
poet, tells an amusing anecdote of the
learned head of one of the Cam bridge col
leges. Scholars highly esteemed this mas
ter for his learning, but the undergradu-
ates thought him las dry as the remainder
biscuit after a voyage" One day two I'M
dergraduates, in the college library, were
discussing the dry as dust" ways of the
venerable head Their irreverent criti
cisms were overheard by pompous fellow
Of the college, who said, in his inflated
style: -" You are probably ignorant, young
gentlemen, that the venerable person of
whom you have been speaking with such
levity is one of the profoundest scholars of
our age-indeed, it may be doubted wheth-
er any man of our age has bathed more
deeply in the sacred fountains of antiq-
uity." 'tOr come up drier, sir, I" replied
one of the undergraduates

An Aston and a Vanderbilt Have Prac-

An AstOr and q Vanderbilt Have Prsc-
ticaIly Quit This Country.
By strange coincidence two repre-
sentatives of the wealthiest of Ameri-
can families-families that used to be
antagonistic, but now are friendly
sailed for Europe from New York re-
Gently, with the purpose practically
of expatriating themselves. William
Waldorf Aston had been in New York
city just week.
Something that Mr.. Astor said or
did caused the report to be spread
about the clubs and in business cir
cles that when he departed from
America he departed for good. and
very likely would never return, ex-
cepting under stress of business
engagement. Exactly what the chief
influence which led to this determina-
ton of repatriation was nobody
seems to know. At one time it was
thought to be anger at his political
failure. But that is impossible, since
his failure to be elected member Of
congress occurred some time before
he was nominated minister to Italy
by President Arthur. The reasons
probably are partly social and partly
family ones. Mr.. Astor is said to be
very much pleased with his experience
as newspaper magazine publisher,
and stories were told of his intention
very greatly to enlarge his editorial
investments.
William K. Vanderbilt, who sailed
on the same day will, it is believed,
spend hereafter very much of his
time in Europe. He does not propose
to expatriate himself so completely as
Mr.. Aston does, but he has given over
his New York and Newport houses TIC
the use of his wife, has settled a large
sum upon her and it is now clear that
there is to be voluntary if not legal
separation. He reserves for himself
luxurious and yet after all compara-
lively modest apartments in the
Metropolitan club, keeping them year
in and year out for his use whenever
