Clande Lorraing's and Joseph Ver- net’s " Sea-Ports.” Couture---Rosa Bonheur---Panl Delrroche ==-Delacroix---Lehmann---Horace Yernet---Glegse-=-Vicior Girand. The series of pictures reprezantiog the soa- ports of France, by Josoph Vernet, were a part of the original galiery of the Luxembourg. Their removal to the Louvre gives am opportu- nity for comparison with those of Clande Lor- ruine, whose works fill the sdjoining chamber. A5 PAINTELS OF TUE EES,— in some respects the most notable that France hias yet produced,—these srtists are an interest- ing contrast. Neitherpaint{he ses 28 Turnerand £o0 many of his Englien brethren delighted to depict it,—the great desp lzshed into fury by storm-winds, the black rain-clouds ecudding scross the £ky, tho big waves coming on lie white-hooded demons to seize upon ther prey. If Fraoce has any such marino psionter as thie, his works are not yet houored with a place in the gelleries of tho Gapital. And, ehould such 8 one ever appear, he is certain to spring, like Herve Riel, from the coasts of Brittany or Nor- mandy; from the sturdy Breton race which, under anotber name, still clings to the cliffs of Corn- wall, or from the Norman descendants of the old 65 who onco went raiding through the Nortbern seas. But the French, a8 a race, DO NOT LOVE THE SEA. Tn mort of their historic paval combats with the Dutch and English, they wers beaten, not by braver commandess or better discipline, but br tho difference between born ssilors and well-drilled marines; botweon men who tzke to the ocean 8&s o their natural element, nover 50 happy as with *‘a wet sheet and a flowing sce, and a wind that follows fast,’ and those who do their duty on shipboard es men in untoward circumatances, acting at a dis- advantzge. Close observers of French character did ot need the late steamship-disasters to convince them that, in emergencies where a Britieh tar or & Yaulkee shipper feels his courage and ipgenuity rise to the height of the peril, the French sailoris paralyzed by sudden, un- reasoniug dread,—the spell of temperament and ignorence. Hence, since Art Teflects life, thera s no sach marine painters as the Epglish, the Dutch, and tho American of the Atlantic coast. ~evertheless, there is butone Claude Lorraine in the world, end hie works merit the notieo which fwo centuries have bestowed upon them. Both Vernet and Claude paint the ses from the ghore, and in a calm; but the peculiar features of cach miglt be said to belong respectively to the school of the Real and of the Ideal in” paint- ing. 1IN YEENLT'S PICTURES the grent sea-poris stand outdistinet and real, with merked, individual traits. Here isMarseilles, and therois Havre, and thers Boulogne ; and you would recognize them if youwere to eil in- to them to-day. Here is the great harbor full of ehipping,—the men-of-warout in deep anchor- age, tho merchant-cruft neerer into port. The docks cre full of men who come and go, Jade and unlade, who put out in boats, store and dis- charga cargoes, and man tho rigging to a Gal- lic equivalent of the veo, heave. yeo.” The air esoms to you fresh, and to bave the peculiar ealt emcll of the occan mnear shors; the water eprears to sweep against the dock with a rhyth- mical swath, after the manner of idle wavesina calma. IN CLAUDE LORPAINE'S PICTGRES, on the ofler Lend, nothing iz literal, everyday- like ;: 8!l is exalted, idealized. Not that Nature ie, in bis worlks, distorted or exaggerated ; but it is Nature secen through the medium of & bighly-postic imagination. Take, for instauce, A Yiew of a Sea-Port at Sunrise:” From a rich edifice, decorated with statnes, you descend, Ly 2 broad fight of steps, to the ses; on your right is a large, arched door, with Doriccoluinns, bearing on its brazen plate the old, talismanic 8! P. Q. K. Behind yon, in the dim light of morn- ing, rises & city with towors. Far in front, at the very entrance to the port, stands a tall light-Liouse ; the rising sun, atreaming in at the harbor's mouth, falls full on this slender shaft, end bathes it in & golden mist which obscures the view beyond. On the left, a magnificent veseel rides at anchor, and floats the flag of France. Between the shore and the ship is a broad pathway of light, 8 luminous track over tho waves, which streams past the vessel, eud loges itself in the radiance around the light- house. In A Sea-Port at Sunset,” the details are va- ried. There is still the noble mansion, the tow- ers and s:eps, the barbor, and the ship: but the t i5 that of the settiug sun, tempered by the haze of twilight instead of the gray misis of morning. Similar to these is his “Sea-Port: Sun Seen Through a Haze.” In sll of these thioro s1e casks, and bales, and plauks, upon the boech, sailors beside them, and passengers ready to cmbark, Dut there is overall the spell de- eciibed by Keats in his ** Ode on a Grecian Um.” You feel that thoee casks contain no common morchaudiee; the sailors will never lift them up. yonder vessel's side ; those rickly-habited figures will never step into the boats that wait for them; nor will tha noble skip, whoee every mast and epar is outlined in such porfection against tho =k, ever £ail out past the lighthouse iuto thecloudy distance beyond. Yet these scenes, no less than Vernet's, have about them the char- actenstic features and flavor of the ges, nor i8 their light one never scen on sea nor land. Stand on London bridge st dsym,—or, to come nearer, upon Chicago River or the North Pier at eanuise,—and one may catch o glimpee of certain effccte of Claude Lorraine, The special charm and secrot of his pictures is THEIR ATMOSPHERE. City, nor ship, nor tower, is outlined badly upon canvas ; eac rises out of a fine, luminous at- morphere of its own. His mountains lift them- eclves, as God's mountains do, out of the limit- lees ether. Mlany artists before snd after him have repr «d the sky, but he painted inimi- tably the qis. 1lis sunsets are mot so easily found in thiz country ; but whoover walka along the Arno et twilight, or looks at evening from the harbor of Livorno, caa find them on every ha;:dd, their pale-rose tints melting into greenish~ gold. : In our time Claude Lorraine possesses addi- tional interest as being, in & certain sense, THE MASTER OF TURNER. To no ons elze does the English artist owe so tauch, particulaily in that which forms his pe- euliar attraction,—his effectsof light and atmos- phere. By Turnor's will, the two large land- scapes which baog in the National Galiery are to remain its property eolong as they occupy their presont position botween two 1 ¢ Claudos. Mus Tytlor, in Lot brief notes on modern peintors, saye that this stipulation was made by Turner for tbe purpcse of showirg his superionity to the painter wiose works were at that tims ranked —by a certain circle of connoissenra at lenst— 50 far above Lis own. Itis atleast a proof that behad at one period made him Lis model ; & sareful Gurvey of Turner's pictures would con. vinco ono_of this, without other suggestion, Haxppily, the unpar*izan tourist is not obliged to eluvate the one artist at the expenes of the other. In the snbordinate character of the figures after whom sowme of the pictures are named,—as in Claude's ** Landing of Cleopatra™ and Turner's * Dido Founding Carthags, —they greatly rescmble each other. In coloring, Turner's gray and blue were as thoroughly and characterstically Englhsh as Claude's rose and Fux‘ple were Italian (for he took hia scenery rom Lis adopted rather than his mative coun- irr); in perfoction-of finith and calm besuty, Cisndo was as far superior to Turner as the croea the Seine by tbe bridge 80 aptly named 1 Of the Arts,” and walk along the quay till you come to the Boulevard St, Micbel. After strik- ing the boulevard, vou will be sure to stop aod admire the fountain of that neme, where the prent bronzo sugel stands in his niche with up- fifted sword, a mighty shest of water pouring from the rock below the Dragon, and, in front, two griftins spouting foam. Very reluctantly, also_sou will pass by the old Muscam of Cluny, with its antique archway and picturesqueivy. Iy tho time you arrive at the palaco you are Seck- ing, you will be glad to it down in ita leasant garden and rest. In all Poris thera is ardly a pleasanter gpot than this quiet garden of the Luxembourg, with its lovely chestnut- groves, bright flower-beds, znd fragrant orange- ry. The stately terraces, with their marble bal- ustrados, make & feeble attempt: to remind yon thet you are in the neighborhood of a palace; but, on the whole, eversthing has & delightfuily- unfashionable and retired air. Aristocratic loungers do not make this their promenade; but workmen in blue blouses sit here and thero on the benches, and even venture to eat their lunch in thewr nooniide bour of rest; and nursery- maids stroll through it witn their littlo eharges. Most of tho figures you mest bave a kind of pocr-scholar, etraggling-artist, seeds-student sost of look : in fact, this is & sort of POOR FOLES' PARADISE, for, if you have but G cents in_your pocket, you can go over to the kiosk youder and buy this morning's puper for 3, and for the rest you can havo = bun and & glaes of eau sucree: sitting in this leafy retreat, enjoying both, are you not rovided with tho chiof necessitios of modein ifo,—bread aud newspapers? But, beoause we are’ not fashionable bere, I would have you kpow that we are not to be despised. In this part of the world, it often beppens—as in ono favorod Jocality in America—that, tho poorer wa mcem, the more intoliectusl we prove to be. Wby, this is, 1n frct, classio ground. Right acrocs the way sre the Sorbonne and the Law- Sehool, the Collsge de Irance, the Lyceum of BSt. Louis, ths School of Medicine and the School of Mines ; and, not far off, the Polytech- nique and tho Beeux-Aris. Keep straight on tbroughthe central avenue of the garden, and you will come to Mount Parnassus itself,—so, at least, is called the boulevard which takes the place of the old groves where tho students used to con- gregate to spont Latin, declsim vorses, and onsot dramas not to ba found in Corneille or Ra- cine. For this is emphatically the Btuaents’ aud Artists’ Quarter. What dreams, what hopen, wWhat enthusiasm, what folly aud despair, have theee old benches borns, theso chestuuts bo- held! Before leaving the garden, one should notica tho besutiful fountain of Catharine de Medicis, and X THE SBERIES OF STATCES T which follow the line of the groves. It is a little curious that the latter are all of women,—women famous for somethingin Frecch history. Jeanne d'Arc, Loutes of Bavoy, Anne of DBrittany, and Blanche of Caatile,—theso are familiar names ; but who was Queen Hudrogote, and what did she do? What sort of & person was Bathilde. and what do you know of Bertrads ? And whose jdos was it, placing them here in a line, a8 if* sanswering o the call of 4 modern convention 7% Ah! you may be from Boston, but one may ¥ager that_you don't know the answer to thess queries whon you first make the tour of this quaint garden of the Luxembourg. So,inan humble frame of mind, you will stroll towards the palace. THR PALACE OF THE LUXEMEOURG is & copy of the famous Ditti of Florence, and once bore the name of MMurie de Medicis, by whose order it was built. The most interesting part of the interior is still the rooms she once occupied, decorated by Rubens znd Poussin. Since 1852 it haa baen mnoted as the placa of meeting of the French Senate. The room in which this bods holds its sittings 18 of good pro- portions, and fnely decorated with frescoed ceiling, columns; and statucs; but gives one rather the impression of a handsome chamber than an imposing council-hall. Hore the Left, snd the Right, and the Centre wrangle among themselves; and here tho battle betwasa Legitimist, Bonapartist, and Ropublican is daily fought. For the world outside Paris, however, the chief interest of the Luxembourg liee in its Gollery of Painting. Though 8o frequently called upon to delver up ‘its treasures to the LouvTe, it still contans some of tho tinest works of the MODERN FRENCH SCHOOL. Chief of these is Couture's noble ‘‘ Dacadence of tho Romans,” described at length in Tur TrrscxE some time 1go, in an article on Dubufe. Whatever may bo eaid of the imperfections of silegory and of the Idesl school, there can be no question that, in works like this, it deserves to outrank all others. To reproduce cool forest- interiors, golden barvest-flelds, and blue-veiled ‘mountains, is a gratefal and salutary offica of Art. Butto presch repentance to s ration, to bid walls speak and canvas exhort, is to boa oat painter, indeed. Would that we had, in fi:sn troubled days of the Republic. an American Couture to depict a8 grandly the lesgon of the boar. It Couture is the great spiritual painter of the Luxembourg, surely the apostle of the sumply natural is ROSA BONHEUR. It 1s difficult to believe that there canbe any- thing finer of their kind than her two pictures hero: *Plowing in the Nivernois,” and * Hay- makiog in Auvergne.” Look at these superb milk-nhite oxen iresding laboriously throngh the oft, black loam,—the white fozm falling from their months and’ flecking the dark far- rows. So perfect are all the accessories offercd to sight, that the other senses are deluded; £o that, in the first picture, you actually fecl the sunshine filtering through the warm, still air; and in the eecond is borne to you the smell of tho fragrant hay. Let us extend what has been limited to Claude Lorraine, end admit that, in these pictures, Rosa Bonhour, also, hos paibted the ntmosphere, In everything except size of canvas, theso pictures far surpaus her celebrated | ¢ Horde-Fair,”—now one of the treasuras of tho Bouth Kensington Museum. * W Tho Princes in the Tower” is & good speci- men of tha art of Paul Delaroche, though not one of his master-pieces; and a power- ful and painful picture is_Delacroix’s * Dante and Virgil Crossing the Lake which Surrounds the Infernal Regions.” ~Wild figures with despairing faces rise from the black water and cling to the boat. QUITE CHARACTERISTIO of the French school is *The Griof of ths Daugbters of Ocean at the Foot of the Rock to which Prometheus Is Chained.” - The painter is Lebmann, & pupil of Ingres, and the subject is taken from tbe ** Prometheus Bound” of Alschy- “lus. Qb arock rising steep and abrupt from the ocean Prometheus lies, and over him the vul- tures are *eailing round the cloudy peaks Cau- casian.” Tho interest centres not 8o much in his prostrate figure os in the sea-nymphs whose oxquisite, ethereal ;forms hover in mid-air be- tween the base and summit of the cliff. In spite of the lightness of their poie, they bave 1he appesrance of boings making their way with difficulty in an alien clement, a8 if struggling to ascend fo the bero, bearing holpand consolation, but beaten back by a stern, invisible influence, Only one has gined the bow of the crag, and expressod her anguish by tbe indoacribable abandon of her whols figura and attitudo, sug- gesting & limited and olldlike intolligenca beat- ing against the iron bars of Fate. Tho wonder- ful expression given to these nymph-like bodies, in the display of the most paseionate grief, is noticoable because it marka exactly those fes- tures in which modern French Art excelsall other. A DRAMATIO AND SUGGESTIVE PICTURE is Horace Vernet's “Rapheel at the Vaticsn.” In the court-yard of St. Potor's stands Raphel, sketching. A peasant-mother with her child has caught his oye, and he i _transferring them to his portfolio. 'The passers-by gather in & group around his gracefal figure: one looks over his shoulder to watch the progress of the supple fin- gers. An air of pride and pleased_proprietor- ship in the artist pervades the liflle crowd. Upon these comes suddenly the psiuter of the Laat Judgment, architecturs! plans and imple- ments in hand, on his way to Bt. Peter's. The scene arrests his slow footateps, expressive of dogged resolution and weariness. At the eame moment lhghullflah up, sod the two rivals survey each other. Michael Angolo lifta his bushy eyebrows; grim, satiric touches gath. about his etern 'mouthh. “'So,” says the eldor artist, ** you walk like s Prince eurrounded by latter occasionally surpassed the French master i & certain life and vigor which approached, snd sometimes sttained, the sublime. somswhat musinfinu‘yeu, Miss Tyiler assumes, apparently upon the dictum of Ruskin, that the sdmiration of Clande Lorraine’s works is en- lirely a tling of the past,—a fashion which :ame in and went out with a eerfain sligue of connoisscurs. It may well be so for that largo class of critics whoserdmiration waits always totake its cue from some popular oracle or leader ; but, to the unprajndiced lover of Na- ture, eepecielly if gifted with & warm imagina- tion, it 15 not ensy to conceive that there will ever come & timo when tha viast of this panter's best works will not give him s pure & pleasure as Art has yet afforded him. Larger landscapea of Claude's may be found inthe Doria and other Italian galleries, but nothing gives 50 true and favorable an idea of him as his sea-ports in the Louvre. From the Louvre to the Luxembourg is A LONG BTEP 2 zmore senses than one. Most likely you will With &~ your Coart!™ *And you," repli pointedly and significantly, « yé’é“',on“fx"‘.‘.?; slone, like the hangman!™ The words wonnd like swords. There is something 1nexpressibly patbetic in the contrast between the isolated, careworn worker and the bright, graceful fig ure of the younger painter surrounded by ador- ing faces. A good deal of biography and’ pbilo- eophical analysis is compreesad into the picturo, ast among the pictures of the Luxembourg which make s deep impression on the memorr, ought to be mentioned t GLEYRE'S POETIC ‘'LOST ILLUEIONS.” ‘Tho subject is one which does not grow old, nor will any changes of Art or Society affect its pow- er to tonch tho heart. An antique bark, of cu- rions and graceful fashion, is pushiog off from shore. Of the figures who watch her departurs, some hold ont appealing hands of passionate rs- call, and others, seated on the strand, behold the receding sails in mute, unprotesting dospair. In striking contrast with these grief-stricken figures are the forms in the vessel which isslowly **sail- g into the purple sun-set, into the dusk of evaning”: A fair younz maiden with & radiant faoe, & young mea in. the firs fush of youth, & majestio figure, i¥y-crowned, a glorious one with starry eyes, bending overa ),—what need to reproduce them exactly? o no two who gtand bofors the picture do they assume the eamo guise. Thers aro the myths childhood, with _them the of and lovely hopes, and beliefs that made life seem a door opening into s vast, enohanted Hereafter. Thero i8 the harp_with which you once thought to charm tha world ; the hero of your firat enthusiaem ; the great poet or the grand preacher who scomed, to you to stand high enough to reach the sacred fire of Heaven and band it down to mortals,—they are all there, gailing away forever. There, Pythias, is the Damon to whom you pledged a life-lon, {friend- ship ; there, Theon, 1s_the Thais to whom you vowed 2n eternal loyalty. Another Damon, snother Thais, moves in your life, jostles you suddonly in tho street; but the real man and woman whom you loved, aro there in the reced- ing sbip, fading sway. ' All griof for what wo bave lost admits of consolation, but who can measure tho infinite pathos of the Inment for that which has nevar existed! It is difficult to describe this picturo without incnrring the im- putation Zof sentimontslity ; no baro descrip- tion conveys an ides of its power.

VERY JUST AXD COMPLETE IDEA of what the Fronch have accomplished in the art of peinting. In manual doxterity and fine- noss of finish, in the trnumph over all difieul- ties in tho represeotation of the human figure, in warmth and traneparency of coloring, they are almost uunp{o:cbed in modern times, and cortainly lead the advance in that art. The groat blemish of modern French painting ia its rampant materialism, its deification of the senses and sonsual ploasures. In this it reflects the blemish of modern French life. But tbe great glleries bave, to s vory grest extent, cscapod this influoncs ; the Eictumm the Luzombourg entitled * Wealthy Greek kn a Markot of Circas- gian Slaves,” by Viclor Giraud, purchased by the Government in the last daya of the Empire, i8 one of the few exceptions; and gave stronger testimony of the deterioration of national taste than would have dono & hundred similar pictures in studios and private salons. In this brief sketch of the Lnxembom}, & description of such works bas been omitted; partly in the belief ihat & school is best judged from its most admir- able productions, and parily in tho hope that these evidences of an unheaithy influoncs in Art may be permitted to die out with the state of society which suggeated and approved them. As the fluest school of color and mechanical addrees in the world, the Paris. studios are tho constant rewort of ANERICAN STUDENTS In the =art of painting. Will they win to their complete command this gifted Ariel of ths brush end paletts, and employ it in nobler labors, to expreus the best thought of their native land? Or, dazzled by meretricious splendors, will they bocome tho &iave of unhallowed geni, import~ ing into the Rew World a poison which, in the OId, hzs 80 nearly destroyed a brave and artis~ tio people? On the answer to this quostion, from the student who studies, the tourist who visits, the connoisseur who scquires French pictures, it depends whether & more intimate ag- quaintance with them shall be of exceeding ad- vautago or ingalculable injury to Americzn Arf and life.

One longs for the Wabash avenue ¢ bus,” of racing pro- chvities,—that éndaogers your neck. but which, if you are not killed, lands you up or down town in good time,—when be is forced to get into ons of these stages drawn by soails. To be sure, in many places anything but a elow walk is impos- gibls, owing to the multiplicity of teams of all sorts; but, even when s fow yarda of opon space does ‘present itself, a3 one gats well up towrn, nothing could induce oue of these Jobus to take advantage of it. The eonstant passing, the crowda of people, the jam of vehicles, aud tho gayehop-windows for mileszlong Broadway, serve to interest even the ola resident, or it would be dreary traveling indeed. The stage-drivers bave been on'a strike, owing to the fact that boxes like those =0 long in use in your city have becn placed in tho slages here. They frankly ecknowledge, with an artless eimplic- ity which we usually attribate to the innocence of childhood, that they caunot steal enough now tomake up & decent living, although their wagcs wers raised when the fare-boxes were introduced. ‘Are theymot an oppressed race, and should they not bs allowed to earn their living in the simple, natural way to which they Lave s0 long been accustomed? The conse- quence is, that the means of vehicalsr convey- ance up Broadwsy have of Inte been very in- sufficient. Greon hands have been employed, who, in certain instances, have appropriated the money given them to mAke change with, and have left stage and horses to the care of eome observant policeman to return to the owners thereof. ‘The abutments of the East River bridge look like some aucient, colossal ruin, instend of &n abortion which, if carried ont to completeness, would have been a perfect and desirable object. DIFPORYESSED TAMMANY howls and glozts over the present imperfect administration of the local government ; it points to the city improvements under ite regime, ‘which, with all the golden or green feathers that it lined its nest with, were atleast perfected ; and asserts that, whether the present rulers are laying up stores for the futuro or not, they are story windows. ‘at leoét spending more money and doing no work. The remainiog Bachems hope once more to over- come u::islh faces ; they expect that their war- whoop wil gain ring out in tho sscred preciacts of the City Hall, and thelr tomahawks sczlp the present ineumbents. Quion sabo? There is & decided lazinesa of morality in the genuine New- Yorker, which makes him rather prefer a certain amount of thievery with a judicions embellish- ment that will permit a maximum of boasting, to the rectitude of Lycargus’ legislation and a primitive simplicity, or, worso stull, a total neg- lect, of outward adornment. And now, apropos of this, lot me tell you A CERTALN “‘oNDpIT” in New York: That it costs just €500 for & criminal to ride from tho Tombs to Blackwoll's Island ferry in & carriago, so =8 not to be eubjected to the gaze of the vulgar crowd. This is the Sheriff's nice erquisite. That Stokes paid £300 for the privilege, sad, becansa the extra $200 was no: forthcoming, he was handcaffed and taken in a strest-car, halted on the corner of Thirts-fourtn street, and made to await the necessary transier there. That Ingersoll and TFarmngton did psy the 5300 for that privilego of metropolitan privacy ; and that, moreover, between these lat- ter men existed a rmodern Damon-and-Pythias- izm qnite out of keeping with the times, That Farrington, the clerk, was the innocent victim of Ingersoll, the principal’s frands,—the latter aclnowledging too late that the former was in+ nocent. It was the old story of being found 1 bad company: o the Judge refused to revoke the socterce, and ono inuoccent man 18 vicarious- Iy snél‘orinx for some of the guilty who have es- ocapad. CENTRAL PARK isin all its glory just at present. The season Bas heen 50 iate fhat very few people heva left town, and the drive 1s fillsd with all sorts of ve- bhicles; o four-in-hand mail-phaeton, with out- riders maguiricent in gold lace. light cloth, and white gloves ; na English drag, filled with stylish women and bandeowe men; & tandem, driven by & young fellow who thinks himself *Very swell, o know:” light trotting-wagons, with fancy’ arse-flesh rated well up iu the thousands. most- 1y driven by men with- gray beards and silvered balr; buggies, phzetons, landaulets, with old and young ; basket-wagons driven by beautiful irls, attended by @ groom: =and wagonettes led with merry children. Equestriennes and a%neltrium,—cama who ride well, more who ride brdly—go canteriog by; while ridicalons flirtations bohind outsprezd umbrellas are car- ried on by psdestrixns who rest for a time on ths benches, and hide their heads like the complete exclusion from observation, Alfo-. gether, the Fark is & charming place, either for & drive or a ramble; but it must bo admitted that some of the approaches to it would outrank in vileness Wabash avenue in its worst days last winter, when s drive ove) was equivalent to & Eeu’l use of anti-dyepe compounds. Such oles as are visible in theso pavements counld only be found "elsewhers on a mountain-road after a weel’s rain. - They are enough to wrench the wheels off the vehicles and lame the horses for life. Drivers of equines complsin mach of the hardness of the Park roads, and assert thas they knock their horses all to pieces. .The Boulévards strotch ont broad and wide to the ena of the island ; and on the Bt, Nicholsas, many a trial of ngeed may be witnessed. Here one meets Bonner, Leonard Jerome, Budd Doble, and scores of others, representing all grades of existence. Itisa fsy and oxciting scene, to be much-in- creasod in hilarity as soon a3 the Jerome Park races open. ‘On ’Change one misses A PECULIARITY OF CHICAGO which stamps her as young. very young indeed, in the fact of no buggies being hére anchored to the sidewalk by a weight attached to the horse’s Lalter. On Broad street atand a line of coupes, which the man who bas made a fortane or losf one can drive home in when the day’s gamblin, is ended; public conveyances, cheap of hire an convenient fornse. Bat that pecaliarity of mod- est private conveyance which lines LaSalle street, and pravents any stranger from getting his horses’ nose anywhore noar the sidewalk, is’ not to be scen here. Many of thess men live far out of town,~not a'few of them on the new toulevards,—snd, in the morning, drive their fine horses and light wagons through the Park to the lower end, leaving tham at some up-town stable, and then take a coupe, car, or atage, to the lower part of the city. A few drive or are driven all the way down; but these find some accommodation for horse and carriage be- side the publio thoroughfares. ¥IRST-CLASS TEEATRES have increased in number during the past two years, but are about closing or have aiready closod for the summor, as rogatds their regular companics, and are befng taken pussssaion of by provincials, who thus faucy they are playing to metropolitan audiences. The fact is, they oo- cupy Now York theatres, and exhibit themselves to & race of people who, as nomadic as them- selven, are mers birds of pasaage, balting at the various Lotels for s few days. Compari- sons may seem invidious; but the fact that soms of the New York companies will visit you this summer will do no harm oither to the Budiences or native talent. If they perform with balf the ability and finish they do_here, Chicago people will be less inclined to be satisfied with slipshod performances by second-rate artists, and the players themselves may geb some valn- able binta, " Lester Wallacl has, in accordance ‘with his usual custom, been allowing certain charactors to play him; but, while he is always himself, bis really auperior {ulent affords some apology forit. Little Bijon Horon is indeed & wonder, and, if years add to her already plainly- manifested sigus of genius, she will bid fair to outrival bLer once-renowted mother. It makes one feel sad, however, to seo her thus early thruet before the world, and engender a hope that her future may not be clonded either through her own or any other's fault. Fanny Davenport has been winuing golden opinions, and has proven horseif something better than 8 mers lay-figura to trail across the stage the lzst mew, prononce costume of the Paris demi-monde. Chicago still has the pas of New York in HoTELS, unless we may except the old Brevoort, which still holds its own in the way of quiet elegance and high prices. In other respects there is nothing better than the Palmer House er Grand Pacific to be found aere, thoagh at present all of them seem to be uncomfostably ecrowded. A Iady finds 1t in her heart ts regret the old deys, before elevators became one of the modern im- provements. Then the lower floors were devoted to her accommodation, and the unmarried mas- culine wended his way skyward. Now she is just as likely to bs sent up to the fourth or fifth loor g ba s 3nd, generally speaking, she dosen's o i Peopls have often laughed at me when I have assorted that £50,000 PER ANSTY was necessary for one to live comfortably in New York witbout many superfluities. By these I mean unlimited diamouds, fancy horseflesh, and & steam yacht, or even one schoonor-built. These were people, howerer, who looked upon the dol- lars as money, not things. It is frequently forced npon my couviction now that £50,000 a minute would be nearer the requisite sum, if one gratified all hia tastes, Asone wanders up Brosd- way and lounges in_the large drygoods stores, the lace-shops, the jewelers’, thence to the Av. anue, looks upon the houses and equipages, and marks the quiet but elegant dress of mostof the native pedestrians, ho really wondera whether £50,000 & vear would be _enongh to boy what he would foel that he should reslly need. New York is profuse in all things, even In ler charities, and thsre are constant demands being mads up- on her purse-strings for other needs besides mere solfish ones. Weddings are the order of the day, aud outgoing steamers have all their best accommodstions engaged for weeks ahead. THE TRIP TO EUROTE is the thing mow, and is thought nothing of. The summer-campaign will soon open, and tourista’ routes, both at home and abroad, are being brought’ before the publc. Only put money in your purse, and the world is befors you, where and what to chocse. Summer ‘has come at last, and those who can are praparing for their aonual flittivg, and by another moon New York will have utterly changed in aspect, estriab with the samo unwarranted faithin their and, to all intents, be & different city.

Hoff didn’t aim qguite high enough, and consequently, in his nervousness, he hit Collamore quite & severe blow; the old man tarued around in a rage to aes who had dared to take such a libérty with him, and Hoff began to explain with gestures the canse of the occur- rence.
