THE LELONG COLLECTION.
4 Remarkable Array of Eighteenth Century
Art IN Paris.

Last December we announced the dispersal in
Paris OF the first portion of the collection left
by the late Nine. c. Lelong, to be sold for the
benefit of the Societe des Artistes MusiCiens
The catalogue of that portion, which We noticed
at the time, ran to 800 numbers, and dealt
chiefly with works of art dating from the Mid
die Ages and the Renaissance. The remaining
part consists Of nearly fifteen hundred lots
which are described in catalogue of three
volumes which we have just received from M.
Durand-RueI The works entered in these vol
urnes are Of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries and while they include a few English
things and examples Of divers Continental
schools with quantity of Orientalia, the artists
chiefly represented are French, especially mas
ters of the eighteenth century.
The sale began on April 27, there have been
many sessions, and the last Of these. which is
to be held at the Lelong mansion. does not occur
until May %. It is to be hoped that American
collectors have been represented at this auction.
and that they will continue to follow it, for
Nine Lelong enjoyed high repute collector,
and the plates in the catalogue certainly give
an encouraging account of her treasures We
note especially the examples of Bodily, charm
ing illustrator of French life and manners, prac-
ticaIly unknown In this country, and have
been struck also by the landscapes OF Boucher.
works showing him in a very different mood
from that familiar in the galleries. But the
salient canvases appear to be the portraits by
Drouais. Rigaud and others of their school,
sumptuous and courtly productions such as
those which have just been so fortunately added
to the Metropolitan Museum Of Art. Yet the
paintings are more conspicuous in this col
lection than the sculptures by such masters
I.emoyne Coustou and Pajou or than the furni-
ture and tapestries belonging to the most
auisitely decorative epoch in the history of
French art The wall decorations Of entire
rooms included, beautiful bits Of design and
carving The first sale brought 933 425 francs.
The sum obtained from the entire body of art
works is likely to be a very large one

FUTURE OF COMMERCE IN FICTION.
From The London Globe.


Commerce, having asserted itself as the domi-
nant material factor in mems lives occupies of
necessity the place of supreme Importance in all
SpeculatiOns that concern the future. These
speculations, says THE Magazine of Commerce
(Which contains the only portrait from a photo
graph of Mr.. Whitaker Wright known to be in
exiStence). take their start from present day
facts. and profess to trace out logically future
developments. But the prophets are OF various
minds and the futures they fOresee are wide in
diversity as heaven and hell. There is the scien-
tifc speculator, who. from given data, deduces
long line of reasoning, permitting no contrary
thought current to break it's continuity. until he
finally lands into the appalling futurites fore
shadOwed by Mr.. H. c.. Wells. Then there is the
refOrmer, who believes the trend of future events
to be not entirely beyond the control of man. and
who shows a world made better, as he con-
ceives, partly through the natural course of evO-
luton. and partly through human manipulation.
Such is Edward Bellamy. the laureate of practi-
calty. Both Bellamy and Wells have proceeded
question of trusts whence their speculations
have branched along divergent paths
Mr.. H. G.. Wells sets out to show that the i'm

veOps into a tyranny harsheT and more wide

in history. Industries and businesses are organ
lied into trusts. under the headship of the
Council OF Trustees There is the British Food

point is that the hero of this book Is the son

HID like soaring lark in spring
Quick as swallow dips his wing
SIanting to the summer sea.
Quick. away. with frOIic glee.
Humble greeting, greeting gay,
To the Lady POrtiai
She is good and she is wise
She has shaDen destInies,
Swift of tongue, Of noble speech,
Learning ever. wise to teach,
Wise in counsel, firm in deed.
Helper in mans utmost need.
Brave as wise, and true as brave,
Quick to feel, and strong TO save,
Fly, my little song. and pay
Honor to great POrtia.
Wise she is-and sweet WiJhaI.
Queen at Iife's great festival,
Queen of laughter; keen of wit
Quick to aim. and sure to hit
Laughing light. and laughing ever.
At the foolish jest and clever
Laughing first and jesting after.
For she scarce can speak for laughter
Who our thousand fOllies sees,
Antics. Inconsistencies
Wiser than all men, more gay
Than a child is POrtia-
Bright on Adriatic Sea
Plays the sunlight laughingly.
Soft on Belmont lawns by night
Flows and spreads the fair moonlight.
Countless years has Venice stood
Steadfast on the shifting flood.
Steadfast heart, unbrOken will,
Noble purpose, matchlesS skill.
Tenderness of moons soft ray.
SpIendor of the Southern day,
Charm Of Venus at her birth,
Naught of malice, all OF mirth.
Laughter, learning, love and play
All good things are POrtia-
Fly, then, song across the sea-
Fly to mirth and minstrelsy:
And when thou dost see the trees
On fair BelmOntS terraces,
Bow thee to thy lady'S knife,
Kiss the hand that takes thy life.
Take one kiss and breathe one sigh
When she cuts thy cord, then lie
In her hand, beneath Ter smile.
She will laugh a little while
For she laughs at little things
Then perchance she'll fold thy wings
Lay thee on her heart to rest:
Then. my song, art thou most blest

On the heart of POrtia-

Mr. w G.. Waters has made new translation.
which will soon be published of the J0urnal ol
Montaigne's Travels. This piece of literature
has had SAYS an English commentator an in
teresting history. 1t was discovered, quite by
accident $50 years after Montaignes death-a
small folio volume, nearly half of which had
been written by his servant or secretary, prob
ably the same assistant to whom Montalgne had
dictated some of the Essays. The first two or
three pages are missing. There is a translation
in Hazlitts edition of Montaigne. The journey
described undertaken directly after the publca-
ton of the Essays of 1880, took Montaigne
through France Switzerland, Germany Tyrol
and Italy, where he met the Pope. Gregory XIII
and many other ilustrious personages of his
time.
