PHILADTLPHIA: 187 The American water color gallery must be at once a surprise and a@ pleasure to tho<e who are aware of the brief period during which that branch of art has received much att@tion in this country. Tnat the public now takes @ warm interest fo it, and that ‘this interest Is Justified and fally met by the proficiency already reached by the artists who are working in that feld, are shown at once by the throngs of people who constantly ‘Bll the gallery and by the excellent quality of the pictures bung upon its walls. Ac »m- parison tetween these and those of the sans line in the other exhibits establishes the gratifying fact that in many respects our water colorists are qaite up to the marx o° their foreign brethren. It is not pretended, of course, that with thelr inadequate traintag faciiities and shorter experleace they are equal to the best efforts of those who have spent a lifetime tn that field,—the masters of the English school, for example; nor ought this to be expected. Their work is somewnat eficient in the strength skown by the fore most English artists; but in the qualities of delicate ‘handling, exquisite feeling, and trathfal representation of nature, much of it will compare favorably with the examples of most of their brethren abroad In land seape, thatis. In figure patuting it must b> admitted our American artists are cos! erably behind the best in Earops, whether in oil or water colors. But, take the two col- lections together, and considering all the circumstances of the case, they form au excellent exhibit, in themselves, gnd like- wise show & progress in art of which Amer- jeans may well be prond. ate The large number of persons who dote upon earthenware under the various im- pressive names of ceramics, faience, majoli- ca, etc., because that sort of thing is fashion- able jast now, and ie popularly supposed to be evidence that they know something above the commo3, will find in the Main Building plenty to go into rapturesover. With this Wild and consuming adnatration for crockery 1am ajraid I do not fully sympathise. Sach things are doubtless well enough in their way,and even valuabie,in moderation, as accessories in artistic furnishing and decora- ton; but when it comes to classing them a» bigh art,and subordinating to them other more important features, as many peopledo, I must beg to be counted out and allowed to walt awhile. If there is anything intriasi- cally beautiful or elev: of cups and saucers on a self, or a lot of old plates screwed against a parlor or library wail or on @ strip of board, as old fashioned covutry merchants used to shOw off their queensware at the side of their doors, aad as mavy of them still do, I must confess I cannot see it. Toe fashion has, in trath, no foundation in solid art as a permanently elevating and reflaing influence. It is nothing more than a passiag high-priced fancy, and one that,in the very nature of jbiugs cannot last long,—that is, compara- ively speaking. It bas beea the rage before, like the passion for Duten bulbs, and several other shori-lived whims, ang like them it will soon away. I recognize tha fact however, t it is the raze; and I appreciate siso the folly of trying to stem the tide of fashion when it sets in any given direction, So I shall keep ont of the stream, and let it flow on. But since its present current is un- mistakably toward pottery, it is arc al pleas- in that line so large really are. Of course, China, Japan, France ani Eagiand are tae principal contributors in this branch, and many hours many be pleasantly spent tn examining the nuneérous and widely diversi- fied forms and colors given to tueir protucts. Where there is so much, and the range so broad, it would be idle to attempt to desert se or criticise. Each ene will jadze betwe-a the exhibits for him or herasif, accordiug t» his or her own taste or ideas, aid one wili bs @: likely to be right, in a geueral way, as ao other. But the countries named should not monopolise ail the attention. Some of tas mninor exhibits are richly worth examination; and of these it is doubtfal whether any wi'i more surprise and please visitors than that of Denmark. Not so much on account of its merit, perhaps, as because we are not accus tomed to look for any thing of the kind to twat quarter. Yet the work is thoreughly good, and ereditavle throughout. If it do) Dot on the one hand show such strong axi characteristic designs as some others, neitner oes 1t, on the other, offend gooi taste and violate the proprieties a@like of art and life by furpiehio; household use articles that are essential grot ae and hideous in form, and lered still more repulsive, too, by the representation of reptiles and vermio as orpamental accessories.

Ali Known facts, and the uniform experience of every state, ia every period of the world, warrant the statement that personal property never has been and never can be equitably laid or collected. Not only is it easy to evade such an impo sition, but the law invites the evasion and public opinion justifies it. of mankind, contrary to the ignorant notious of empirical law-makers, tells them that such & law is wrong, aud that there is no wickedness, but virtue rather, in defeating it. It is this mora! sease of the unrighteous- ness of personal-property taxation; it is the fact, everywhere manifested, that paolic opivion justifies the evasion and defeat of such @ law; that has caused this mode of taxation to be wholly avandoned in every civilized country on the globe, the United States of America alone excepted.
