Thore ix no doubt but that he will accept the offer made by the Panama Canal Company. The only question now 13 whether he will retire from the Cabinet. ‘The answer to this question will depend altogether upon the time that the Secretary will be called ubon to assume his duties with the Panama cornpany. If it should be that he will not be called upon until after March 4th, he would then remain fn the Cabinet; otherwise, he would resign. The President, it is understood, would. rather the Secretary would rematn under either circumstance. From the manner in which the Secretary talked upon this subject before he left Ww foes pe there no doubt that he would resign if his connection with the canal is to commence before the present administration gees out.

It is a life-size portrait of the wife of the Emperor Charles V. There are said to be full proofs of the authenticity of the work, which has been taken to Vienna, where tt wili Probably be placed in the Belvidere Gallery. —Mrs. Fillerton, who has been in Europe for a year or more, sends home some very credita- ble evidence of the progress she 1s making In a couple of figure or rather head and bust pieces, painted from life, in Munich, which may be seen in Barlow’s window. They deserve to ba well framed and exhibited under more tavora- ble conditions than they now are. —Mr. E. F. Andrews has returned to tie city, and reopened his studio in Corcoran Building. After he returned trom Europe, where he spent the summer anda portion of the auturan months, he went to Onio, where he remained several weeks. Mr. Andrews {snow engaged on a full Jength portrait, to wateh fur ther reference will be made hereafter, —Mr. B. C.

Their studios tn Bogion are 60 elegant in all their de- tatis that they are rated among the ahow piacas of the city by all who have the entree to them, — According to promise, The Magazine of Art commenced Its new volume eniarged In size and improved in quality. It now comprises forty- eight pages, the same size a3 those of the Anericon Art Review, The number un notice opens with a very fine etching by Laia of one of Erskine Nicol’s churavterlstle and popular subjects, —At the next exhibition of the New York Academy of Design, which will be held from the 24th of January until the 23d of February, inclusive, artists will be at all the expense of sending in their contributions and of getting them home again. Nether will works in black and white be received this year. Applications for space now largely exceed the room at tr dispesal of the Academy, hence these Lew re stricuve regulations. —At the meeting of the Washington Art Club held last Monday evening it was decided togive one Reception about the middle of Jan- uary, and another later in the season. These reuhions are very popular, as well for the social a8 for the art attractions they preseut, and the reciptents of cards are always regarded a8 most favored Individuals. Unfortunately, on account of the limited space at the disposal of the club, the number of its guests on such oveastous 1s necessarily restricted. —The Westchester Reeord calls upon the | legislature of Pennsylvania to undo “‘the mon- strous business" of proposing to send the statues | of Fulton and Mublenberg to the Capitol here a3 tee selected for that purpose decided should be done, and tor which, we believe, commissions Were given some time ago. Penn and Wayne, the Record says, should have been selected ag the proper representatives of the state, watch IU maintains they alone truly are,—one to typity {ts colonial, the other its revolationary period. — Something more than a hundred persons all told are at present taking lessons in draw ing or painting, or both, tu Washington,—a large proportion of the number betag ladies. Of course, comparatively few of those so en- gaged expect to adopt art as a profession, but | the fact we have stated indicates the tnteras: taken in the subject by the pnbile, and espe clally tn this community. ‘There at least taree art schools in more or less successful oparation here,—two of them having about forty puptis eacb,—and & number of studenta aro taklax lessons in studios, while others again are work ing along without spactal or direct tastruction. — The Loan Exhibition to b2 opened early in January for the beneft of that needy and meh | needed institution, the Training wool for Nurseg, 1s likely to beng to public notice a good many pictures of both historic and artistic value, owned In this city and vicinity, of th: existence of which few persons outside of a ver small circle bave had any knowledge, Already, we understand, some very interesting flaods of that character have been reported, and many others will doubtless be brought to the atten tion of the management, who, by the way, will be glad to hear of anything of that kind. — We understand that the Corcoran Gallery has recently adopted or rasher revived some sus- pended restrictive regulatigns in regard to making coptes of its pictures. One of these for- bids any copy to be made of the same size as the original work, This is a proper requirement, but it 1s hardly aetinite enough. It would nave been better to adopt _the sate rule that pre- vails in some of the European galleries, viz: — that no copy should be made more than half as Jarge as the original. Apropos to tlus point, it Is said that a copy of Muller's tamons “Char lotte Corday,” lately on sale in a nortuern city, was claimed—by the dealer, and not by tas copyist, we presume,—as the original, the in- ference being, of course, that the picture ia the Gallery ere {3 only a copy or a repite: — Melseonter, whose marked characteristics } aye heretofore been such extrome mlnutencss of aetall and delicacy of finish as to make a micrescope sometimes desirable tn examining iis work, has recently signed a contract to Palnt two pictures, each about 26 by 16 feet in size. One 1s to illustrate the tdea or Peace, tae other that of War, and he !s to receive for the two the enormous price of 1,500,000 francs or nearly $380,000, The contract was made with a company of Belgian speculators, who propose to organize a joint stock company to be styled the *socteté Meissonter,” with Sharea at $100 each, the purpose of which will be to exhibit the paintings, and also, we presume, to sell engravings or other reproductions of them. Whether the distinguished artist can maintata in works of this scale the reputation he won in the smaller field he cultivated so well, remains tobe seen. The time in which the pictures are 10 be finished 1s named at two years, which, at the price stipulated, will be pretty ilbefally paid for, whether the work ts worthtly done or Rot, and whether the company make or loses by its venture. — When Mile. Bernhardt went from New York to Boston she took her so-called works of art with her,—a circumstance that did not reatly impoverish the former nor enrich the latter city. It is rather a presumptious thing, by the way, to exhibit these ‘‘worka” at an ad- mission fee of twenty-five cents, for neither in quality or quantity is the sight of them worth any such sum. This {a the view the public seemed tc take of the matter, too, for the at- tendance has been very small. The exhibition serves the purpose of advertising the actress, however, aud this 13 probably all that is ex- pected of it. As to the works themselves, some of them bear on their face _ampie evidence that they are the product of Miss Bernhardt, while others furnish just as strong testimony to the contrary. Some of the popes probably all of them, are most likely her own work; but we cannot belicve any such thing of at least a Hon of the sculpture Included In the collection. ‘The bronze bust of Girardin and the fanciful design for an inkstand, for example, could not have been executed by a person with no more artistic traluing than Miss Bernhardt has had, bo matter what that person’s artistic Instincts and feelings might . They both show too many traces of the touch of a pracitced hand. The Fisheries Question. In a letter to Minister Lowell upon the fish. erfes question, Karl Granyille, foreign secre- lary, says Her Majesty's government cannot admit the accuracy of the opinion that the fish- ery rights are to be exercised wholly from the Tegulauions of the statutes of Newfoundiand, Dutit any such local statutes could be shown to be inconsistent with the stipulations or even with the spirit of the treaty of Washington, they would not be within the cai of those reasonable regulations by which ans, common with British fishermen, ought to’ be bound. He pro &@ conference with the ee = aut oA pg interpreta- ‘The London Times, in comment on this let- ter, says: “It is needless to 1 upon the ‘unportance of a England and in high price might be aa, if it weve mae (ondmait of te claims advanced from ase tb uw the a and somewhat irreg- ime \dventurous ular diplomacy of American statesmen.” SOCIETY NOTES, Mrs. Hayes now has as guests her cousins, ‘Miss Lucy Cook and her sister, and their cousin Miss Cook. Miss Lucy Cook 1s pleasantly re- membered as havirg spent last winter at the White House. Miss Smith, who had been several days with Mrs. Hayes, left the city Wedneeday with her Rercats, Mr. and Mrs, Wm. Henry Smith, of Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Austin, of Cleveland. are now visiting Mrs. Hayes, as well as the Misses Cook. Col. Weir, of Virginia, a cousin of Mrs. Hayes, has been with her, but leaves to-day, as also does Mr. Webb Hayes, who has been spending a week with his parents.

Lonpor, Dec. 11.—Thte Standard this mornin; says:—"We understand that the president au council of the Royal Geographical Society are considering a plan for a new Arctic expedition. A commitiee of experts will probably be first aprointed to report on the whole subject, and, though it ts not expected that anything will be done in the way of actual exploration in the course of the rext summer, the interval will be occupied in discussing the matter. It is under- stood that the route by the way of Franz Josef | Land will be recommended, but the mere feat of reaching the north pole will not be the main or even one of the oe objects of the expe- | dition. It will besimply to explore the un Known area north of the 79th and s0th degrees of latitude. The society, while it 1s not intmi cal to the plan of establishing observing sta- (ons around the pole, cam only consider them | &s subsidiary to the work of geographical ex- ploration.” The Bonapartist Program.
