New York. March 22.-Some artists say that any one can paint 8 picture; others believe no one but themselves can. It seems to depend upon the school to which they belong. At any rate, all normal children draw as though by instinct, and perhaps it is the more diIigent and patient who succeed in winning fame and fortune by this means.

 Perhaps it is because this exhibi- ton is not happened by a jury bound by any old fashioned idea of fixed Yules. Any one who has painting and $10 to go with it is privileged to hang the picture up for inspection. And what an assortment of h. Ss unity has chosen to do so!
