Royal Academy.

The members Of the Royal academy
are supposed to paint better than any
one else, and for that reason to have
their names printed in larger type than
their fellows, and to have their pictures
hung in more desirable positions than
any one else. This is all part of aristo-
cratic privilege which no one here re-
sents, although it raises a smile now
and then, particularly when we notice
that some Of the work offered by aca-
demicians does not rise to the level sug-
gested by the large print in the cata-
lOgue. In most of the rooms l had &C.
casion to notice the superiority of the
work done by nonacademicians over
that submitted by their titular superb
ors.
We do not demand that an academi-
Bian should be a genius. We are quite
satisfied if he can draw correctly, has
moderately good taste and can spread
his colors agreeably. The great mass Of
work in this exhibition is of a class
which advanced French school" people
affect to despise, but which confess to
enjoying very much-I mean pictures
that tell a story. For instance, the wild
ow who has her little child by the hand
and is offering her last jewel to pawn
broker, or Andrew Cows picture Of
some cavaliers ON the seashore waiting
the arrival of Prince Charlie, or little
beggar boy brought in to receive bowl
of porridge in laborer's cottage.
America is fairly we'll represented
this year, though no single picture calls
for much notice, excepting possibly
George Boughton's, wherein he depicts
two charming young ladies, in the dress
of the fifteenth century, issuing out up
on the market place from cathedral.
wherein they have been listening to
midnight mass. The coloring is excel

Paris Correspondence Of the Philadelphia

news has been received to-day in Paris
that NJ. Artaud, chief magistrate in

fortunate ex-captain Of artillery in the
Isle de Diable, where he has remained
strongly guarded ever since his transport
tation to the colony after the terrible
scene Of his military degradation in the
court yard Of the Ecole Militaire. IL
seems that NJ. Artaud in making his visit
is acting in accordance with special in
structlons sent out by the government at
