Ahnllt New Peeraoes.

I hear that the king would not sanction the creation of any new peerages on the occasion of the birthday, but if his ma1es- ty had been willing the honors list would have included three or four new barons and two or three promotions. The king is keenly alive to the evil of cheapening the higher honors. There will of course be n long list of honors when parliament is dissolved. but she situation is much the game as at the period described by Lord Beaeons1.el6 when he wrotei 'lf the whigs 20 out tomorrow they will disap- point all their friends. Their nnderlings have promised so many peerages that rreacherv is inevitable and if they deceive some they may as well deceive all Per haps they may distribute a coronet or two nmong themselves" 1t is generally eX- pected however. that although there may be difficulties as to the new peerages which are desired, there are nevertheless certain to be several promotions It is un- derstood that Lord Londonderry's mar quisate will be improved into dukedom that Lords Cadogan and Dudley will be promoted from earidoms to marquisates uhat Lord Windsor will become earl Of Plymouth and that Lord Barnard will Ind himself earl of Darlington.

London. July 24-In the teehnicalities of art I Gm an ignoramus But an ig- noramus may, I think, record with pre- sumption the opinion that George Fred eric.; Watts was ont only one Of the great men of his age, but one of the great men of all time. There is a great ness which reveals itself to babes and stockings as well as to the wise ard prudent-from whom, indeed it is some times hidden-~a greatness which needs no grammarians Knowledge of the lan- guage in which 1t speaks 10 make itself understood Such is the greatness of Shakespeare and Goethe, of Handel and Beethoven of Michael Angelo and Titan. and l think also. of Watts.
 Of course. his defects are not difficult to sec, ard contemporaries are always the first to see them. They are defects of his qualities. He was occasionally ob- scure, not to say ncomprehcnsible, which is the natural result of striving to teach. or preach. through a medium which for didacuc ends is of narrow Limitation. at any rate In the hands of a true artist. He lacked, too, something lpf the many-sidedness which Is usually h characteristic of the greatest painters; though the more one studies his work the more disposed one Is to attribute this Ito self-imposed restraint l rather think that he could have painted almost any thing in the whole region of fact and fancy had he chosen, and painted it well. He may have had faults of technique, but this is where my ignorance forbds me to speak. What I think I do under stand, however. imperfectly. about Watts is that he was a man of noble and lofty ideas, and apparently incapa- ble of all others; that he rormed and all ways lived up to a conception of the scope and capacity of his own art which seems higher than that of any painter before him; and that with all his high Ideals he was q consummate master of everything that goes to make painting a delight to the carnal eye, so that the greater part of his works must always be prized for their mere beauty and strength of drawing, composition, and color, even by those who care nothing for their symbolism.

Was Modest and Simple.

And in attempting to form a complete estimate of the man, one cannot alto gether forget the modesty and simplc- lty of his whole life. For the most part, the great painters have been men of the world, and have rather prided them selves on it; and few have been above making all that they could by their k brushes Of Watts it may certainly be >oid that no man of his intellectual rank

He became successful and even famous at a comparatively early age, but he always lived a retired life no ambition outside his art. To this reason is proba- bly to be attributed his consistent main tenanee of the highest standard of work manship as well as the preservation Of his great gifts almost unimpaired to the end of an exceptionally long and active

 Edgar Jepson, the author of an English youths Sherlock Holmes-ian adventures, The Admirable Tinker" has the repu- tation of being the most barbarously hon. est critic among contemporaneous English writers.

He is a constant contributor to it's columns and when he takes his pen in hand some idol of the market-place Is sure to find itself stripped of its gauds and pretences.

views have joined in the praise of it. The Mercure de France, in a long, en- thusiastic review of 1t, finds only one fault, that the author has allowed the, printer to put an accent on capital let ter in French quotation.
 Henry Harland. the author of My Friend Prospeero,' is now the type of the successful and opulent novelist The latest news from him is that he is trav- cling luxuriously in Italy with his family. But 1t was once quite different with him. A friend of his younger days gives an in- teresting picture of Harland before talk ingp his dose of popular success. "lr was at the time he was writing his first novel, Mrs. Penxada he says that l knew him.

Fashion in Art.

That there are fashions in the art world Is obvious. The Spanish Dutch, and ltal- ian schools of painters have been deserted bv the many now for the British or the French; but tho former have their ad- mIrers still and vii have more In the future The British school of art was ig- norcd for period but is now rising in esteem with leaps and bounds. There are also artlficially- manufactured fashions Just as stocks are manipulated In the city so is this or that 'craze" created In the art world. A group of dealers make. for Instance a "corner" in engravngs by a certain artist they then have his work discussed ill the press; after while a de- mand for the engravings arises high prices are secured and announced, and the dealers who bought for shillings sell for ecvereigns That the Americans have been frequently the victims of such fash ions or tricks is not to their discredit The celebrated private galleries and collec- tions in Great Britain and on the conti- nent are filled with paintings by Spanish Dutch and Italian masters whose works were fashion when the pictures were bought but are. for the moment, less valued by many than they were.
