Filippo Nell. A year later he entered
as a student the Royal Academy of Ber
lin. Then followed a comparative with
drawal from art for year, during which
the embryO-painter was receiving his
general education at Frankfort-on-Main
The winter of 1856 was spent in Flor
ence, and it was here that the father
at last yielded to the sons desire to en-
brace painting as profession.
Some of the drawings by the young
student were submitted to the celebrated
American sculptor, Hiram Powers, and
the father of the artist promised that his
decision should depend upon the results
of this interview with the great sculptor.
AS Powers regarded the drawings as eX-
cellent, young Leighton was permitted
from that time forward to devote his Ell
tire time to painting, and during part of
the time, from 1916 to 1913, he studied
in the Academy of .Frankfort-on-the-
Main. Later he went to Brussels, where
he painted his first finished picture, rep
resenting the story of Cimabue finding
Giotto drawing in the fields.
The following year he spent in Paris,
copying in the Louvre and attending the
life school, returning thence to Frank
fort, where he became a pupil of Z.
Steinle of Vienna, professor of historical
paining at the academy of that city,
and a follower of Overlook. During
this period which continued to 1858,
Leighton painted large picture of The
Death of Brunellesco," and then he
spent several winters in Rome in dill
gent study and painting. The exhibition
of the young artists work at the Royal
academy, in 1855, was great surprise
to the London public, coming. as it did,
from an artist then unknown in Eng
! land.
The Queen at once purchased the
painting of 'Cimabue" after the eXh-
bition and it was again placed OH eXhi-
hilton of tho Manchester A rt trca S11raS
and the International exhibitions. Sub
sequently, Leighton resided in London,
contributing to the Academy exhibition
a picture entitled 1.-The Triumph of Mu-
sic" Later he contributed the following
paintings to the Academy: THE Fisher
man and the Siren" Romeo and Juliet
(act w., scene ~ in 1858; "Pavonia:
1859; "Capri-Sunrise, in 1860; "Paola
and Francesca" ga Dream" "Lieder
ohne Worte'' and "Capri-Paganos." in
1861, and a long list of fine studies since.
In 1864 Mr.. Leighton was elected an
associate of the ROYAL academy, and an
academician in 1869. He was chosen
president of the Royal academy, sue
1873. and a few days later he received
the honor of knighthood. He was nomi-
mated the same year an officer of the
Legion of Honor. He accepted the pres
idency of an English commission which
was formed in 1888 for the international
exhibition Of the graphic arts in Vienna.
At the Paris exhibition of 1878 Sir Fred
erick Leighton was nominated president
of the international jury of painting, and
in 1883 he was elected a member of the
society of painters in water colors. In
the distribution of -honors upon last New
Years day, Queen Victoria raised Sir
Frederick to the peerage.

Hospital for the Insane
Were in Peril.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, Jan. 25.-C. l..
MITCHELL q patient at the Mattewan hos
pital for the state insane, set fire to the
institution in five different places, last
night, and for few hours the buildings
were threatened with destruction. Fire
was at first discovered in the cellar I'M
der the kitchen, which is some distance
from where the patients are confined.
No sooner was the effort made to eX-
tinguish the flames than it was discov-
cred that the north wing was also ablaze,
directly under where over 100 patients
were located. Smoke was fast filling the
buildings and the patients were terror
stricken, and especially the women. The
maniac had made the most careful prep
arations for the destruction of the build
ings, as large piles Of shavings were
found distributed throughout one build>
ing.
Meanwhile, several scattering blazes
were discovered in various parts of the
asylum, and soon the fire was beyond
control, even with the excellent facilities
for emergency, and help was summoned
from Fork Hill Landing, about two miles
distant. The Beacon and Tompkins Hose
companies arrived in q short time, and
it took the combined forces OF the hos
pital attaches until { o'clock in the even
ing to control the fire beyond the danger
point.
The men patients, dozen or more of
whom had every opportunity to escape,
worked heroically. DR.. Atkinson, the
superintendent, says the men patients
throughout the building acted in a man.

who at first feared a panic among the
insane with ali of its terrible conse-
