PASSING ~BOHEMIANIsM.

The assertion of Harrison S. Morris, Of
the Academy Of the Fine Arts. who has
just returned from Europe. that the Bohe-
milan idea in art is as decadent as some of
the performances on canvas of the daubers
who have long paraded before us in their
long locks and velvet waistcOatS Will occa-
sion many pleasing reflections. The time
when an artist must go to Paris and live
a career of wild abandonment in the cafes,
among models and grisettes, with period
lcal orgies at the Butler and other dane
ing houses. seems to have passed by def
lnitely, and IL is conceivable hat at length
we may be able to produce artists of the
highest rank from our own schools in a
native atmosphere, without sending them

Quarter.
The inseparable connection which is SUD-
posed to exist between dueling and beer
swflling and the deeply scientific mind i'm
between the practices that pre-
vailed on the left bank OF the Seine when
Du Maurier was a student in Paris, gath
erlng unbeknown to himself the material
for "Trilby,' and a high appreciation of
and skill in the fine arts, is more than we
nave ever been able to comprehend. As a
matter OF fact there is no such necessary
relation any more than there is such a re-
latlon between college education and foot
ball or poker in the United States; and if
the movement which Mr.. Morris notes is
actually at work to eliminate Bohemian
ism from art we may be sincerely glad.
IL Is a real step forward. The Bohemian

whose chief title to distinction is a quaint
