In France, art like society, was totter-

the revolution was the political outcome
had also, as I'm the pictures Of Greuze ana
Wen, been working beneath the surface
OF the art world; and with the fall OF the
empire these aspirations took definite
shape The art so long dedicated TO tho
whims and caprices of the aristocracy
began, under the impulse OF the new
environment, to express the sentiments
and ideals OF the common people. Cut
or from the past by the sword OF retribu-
ton, in the turmoil OF the present, they
sought inspiration for the future In the
great acts OF patriotism Of the Romans.
And the general intelligence OF Europe,
interested in the discoveries at Pompeii,
gave II form on its artistic side. These
feelings and aspirations seemed to be-
come incarnate in the work OF Jacques
Louis David.
A friend of Robesperre, and leader
in the Revolution party, he, on the COL
lapse Of the movement, narrowly escaped
with his life. But with the rise Of Napo-
leon, who appointed him his painter in
chief, his influence again became para

has undergone, and the innumerable
cliques into which painters have divided

PRESIDENT INGALLS'S LETTER.
The letter of President ingalls, to which
Mr.. Wivkham refers is as follows
Richmond, Va, March %, 1896
Mr. II. r. Wickham, General Solicitor,
Richmond, Va:
Dear Shiny attention has been called
by YOU TO the recent decision of the
Court OF Appeals OF Virginia in the
case OF the New York, Philadelphia ana
Norfolk Railroad Company VS. the SUI
pervsors Of Northampton county. IN
volying the power of the Board OF SUI
pervisors to tax railroad property Tor
district-school purposes and i wish 10
say to you, and through you to the tax
ing officials OF the State Of Virginia,
that It is not the desire or purpose OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Com
pany to avail itself Of any technically
to evade its due proportion of the pub
lie burdens.
The rate being uniform, all property
within the taxing district should bear
its like proportion Of taxation: and, II
In consequence of failure to provide ma
chinery for the assessment of district
school taxes. such taxes could be tenn
porarily evaded by one species OF pro-
perty, and the burden on the property
of others thereby increased. 1 should not
wish to take advantage of such a posi-
ton. 1t may be that the county au-
thorities can, by changing the rate Of
levy for county-school purposes, render
consideration of this subject unnecessary,
or II may be that the General AS
sembly at future session will have
the power to retroactively cure the pres
ent want Of authority in the Board OF
Supervisors in making levy for district
school purposes.
Independently, however, OF these con-
siderations, / do not think II wise policy
to embarrass the educational system
of the State, and l hope 1t may
be the judgment OF the other railroads
of the State TO come to the same con-
clusion. You will therefore not raise this
question in any future tax-bills that
may be presented.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) NJ e. INGALLS,,

will you kindly tell me why?' writes
Lillian Bell in April Ladies' Home Journal.

Blazing black eyes. and the rich warm
