without seff-deluston in the track of the great old artists that still stand unrivalled for skill of manipulation, breath of thought and dell- cacy of feeling, notwithstanding the boasted progress of the nineteenth century. In America even the artists seem indifferent to the pro- gress of art, unless In so far as it may affect their personal interest. There is none of the old entiusiasm for bigh art which impelled the populace of Rome or Florence to carry in triumph a great work, and reward with popu- lar favor the ar ist who bad contributed a new glory to the commoawealth. Weare far too wise to be agitated by such poetic notions nowadays; far too practical to spare one min- ute from our counting houses to cast a glance on the glowing canvas or expressive marble that shall remain as heirlooms to posterity when the rich man’s wealth bas melted and every trace of the bank has been forgotten. Justice compels us to say that the fault Hes not altogether with the rich, nor yet with the people ; the truth is, American art has as yet given us nothiay to bo enthusiastic about, and hence the coldness and indifference exhibited even by men of taste. The cure is in the hands of the artists themselves. We desire nothing so much as that they shall be worthy of the highest praise, and when one of them produces a good work he may depend on our commendation. In the work of de- veloping American art we look for the Acad- emy of Design to take the lead, and by pre- cept and example cultivate a correct taste both in the arlists and the public by excluding meretricious works from exhibition, This must be the first step in any possible advance, and we shall look forward anxiously to the opening of the next exhibition to see how much good our advice shall have produced. Whatever difficulties may be in the way of healthful reform must be overcome; and we promise those among the artists who may at- tempt to remedy the evils of which we com- plain our whole-hearted support and that of the art-loving public, Bashtonabie and Watering Place ratures There never was an age of the world when reading was so much a habit among people as itis at present, and there is, probably, not another country under the sun wherein this habit is so common and universal as it is among us. Our public schools turn out read- ers faster than we ean supply rea ling matter to them, and children of ten or twelve years of age may be and generally are as familiar with the current events of the day as their parents can be. This is the result of our cheap newspaper and book publishing system, which brings the mostinteresting topics of the world within easy reach of the youngest and the poorest. Hence in the cars and on the steamboats and along the streets and road- sides we sce people constantly reading. No sooner have they finished their morning paper fu the city than the evening papers are thrust Into their hands—one edition after another, from noon until the time of the eveniag repast comes round; and thus ii goes from day to day. 7 But the newspaper does not and cannot supply all the literature needed for the long summer days and for the idle life of fashiona- ble socicty. Our people leave comfortable city homes by the bundred and thousand every summer, and seek the cooling breezes of the ocean or the bracng air of the mountains, They return in the fall strengthened and in- vigorated in body, it may be; but how is it with the mind? Is that, too, nourished and built up by what it feeds on in the retreats of ountry life or amid the gay scenes of fash- lonable revelry? What kind of literature takes the place of the newspaper, of which fewer editions reach them in tho country? They are, so far as our experience goes, novels of the lightest kind—the fictions of Charles Reade or Mayne Reid, or others like them; rather than the standard works of Scott or Shak- speare or Dickens, or the more solid reading of other authors. Unless, indeed, public at- tention is called afresh, as it is just now to Beott, to the writings of the better and the purer class of novelists, they are pushed aside for the newer and the flimsier, An idea—and 8 mistaken one, as it seems to us—prevails among our country-going society that plonsnre and enjoyment and fashionable dissipation are the only things to be thought of or sought for during the summer vacation, Hence huu- dreds of our people, instead of returning in Beptember fresh and active for the sterner duties of the fall and winter, come back tired and jaded, and far worse in mind and body than when they left us. Health and quiet, rest and recreation are the true objects of summer vacations, and they should be recog- nized everywhere as such, Bat there are many who do not spend their weeks or months in this fashionable dissipation to which we refer who yet do not improve the days as well as they might. In the city they have ample time during eight or nine months of the.year to study the brick or brown stone walls and the few objects of interest iu our public parks; butia the country the opportu- nity is afforded to study nature and to store the mind with truths which shall never die, were they only properly appreciated. An interest in the sciences might be inculcated in the minds of many young persons, during a summer vacation, which should ripen into love and ultimately produce among us scholars and savans, which we, almost alone of all the civilized nations of the earth, lack at the present time. Ham- boldt tells us that his interest in nature was awakened by « friend’s description of tropical vegetation in his presence when a boy. The interest excited in his mind never died out, but grew and strengthened with his years, and produced afterwards the ripe scholar and the friend of humanity which he proved himself to be. But flash novel reading will never produce a Humboldt, a Macaulay or a Draper, And now let us ask, cannot authors furnish fuitable literature for summer reading, which shall be both new and attractive? And cannot publishers find anything more salable than the “Terrible Temptation” and such work, Which border just as closely on vulgarity as they possibly can do and hope to become popu- lar? It they can we hope they will ere Snother summer rolls around, ad will give us & watering-place literature whiclt shall recreate the mind as the pure aif of the mountain or of the occan recreates and refavigorates the body. Lites ‘The Evangentom: Ailliasce tm ttussin. Our special despatches from St. Petersburg, published in Friday's Hrratp, puts alto- gether a new face upon the previously re- ported interview between the American mem- bers of the Evangelical Alliance aud the Rus- sian goveroment. ‘Tue former, it will be remembered, a few weeks azo presented an address or petition to the Emperor Alexander IL, praying in behalf of American Christians that he would grant religious liberty to his own people. We believed at the time that if such a dopatation with such a document were at all received it would ba purely out of cour- tesy to the land from whence they bailed. But the Russian Prime Minister, it appears, did recvive the deputation and their address at that time, and thus gave the religious journals of this country ample cause, as they thought, for editorial crowing over this fresh victory of religious liberty. What will they say now when they learn that the deputation was actually snubbed for its unwarranted interference with the internal affairs of the empire, and that their address, or petition, whichever it might be called, was respectfully returned, Wh.le Prince Gortcha- koff desired to be courteous and friendly toward his petitioners, as Americans who he believed to have only the liveliest interest in the welfare of his country, he did not want to be bored and bothered with similar papers sent by every little State and body of Chris- tians in Europe who might think themseives commissioned from God and fully justified in the iiterest of religion to make such demands. The Prime Minister saw that he must stop somewhere, and be laid down the rule at the beginning, and politely asked the Americans to withdraw their paper, which they did. And here ends, forthe present at least, the Evangelical Alliance’s mission to the Czar of Russia, And now what are we to infer from this? Is there no such thing as religious freedom in Russia, and is the imperial government deter- mined that there shall not be ? We do not so consider it, notwithstanding many of our re- ligicus contemporaries will’ be so impressed. Long before Christian America bad abolished “the sum of all villanies’—slavery—in our midst, the Emperor Alexander had peacefully and forever blotted out serfdom in his domin- ion, and we believe religious liberty is safe enough in the hands of such a monarch, albeit we may affect to look upon his people as semi- civilized barbarians. It may be that the remembrance of this fact very sensibly directed his action toward the American evangelical deputation, Some of our religious contempo- raries look upon their reception at all as a tri- umph because it was like asking the Emperor to sever his relation to bis people, he being the recognized head of the Greek Church, But as Christian gentlemen we do not see how the Emperor or his Prime Minister could have acted differently, And in our opinion their courtesy on this occasion stands out in bold contrast to the demeanor of other rulers and princes who lay claim to a higher Chris- tian civilization, Civil and religious liberty do not grow spon- taneous from any soil, nor do they come forth for the mere asking, ‘The highest and noblest and purest presentation thereof in the world to-day is the outgrowth of ages of moral and physical struggles and the development of education and literatare through the press and the railroad, the telegraph and the com- mon schools, Tuese agencies are being es- tablished as fastas they can be thronghout the Czar’s vast territory, and we may confi- dently hope that they will produce the same results there that they have elsewhere. Let> the material resources of Russia be developed and the comfort and intelligence of the people be advanced, and there need be no fear but religious and civil liberty will take care of themselves. - Even now Protestant missions are being established in the Russian empire, and where the people themselves do not op- pose, the government presents no obstacle to the spread of their doctrines. But if our Evangelical Christians desire to see Protes- tantism spread more rapidly in that country, let them aid the educational and commercial interests of the empire. This they can do either with or without petitions to the Em- peror, and they can thus show, in a very prac- tical manner, their faith by their works. Already there is a very large and enlight- ened body of Christians within the pale of the Greek Church in Russia who are preaching and spreading abroad what may be termed a reformed Greek Christianity, They may be aided in their work by Protestant Christians, but it might not be safe or well just at present to supersede them in their work. We have faith in the onward progress of liberty, civil and religious, in Russia as elsewhere through- out the world. Tne Eprrontan Proression of the United States and the New Dominion have in larger numbers and in more extensive excursions this summer than ever heretofore been enjoy- ing themselves at the seaside and the springs and among the mountains, and in doing up the “tour of Europe” or the wonders of a trip across our own Continent. Let us hope that among our party journalists, when they returo to the hot work of the approaching fall elec- tions, they will keep cool, and that from their summer travels they will show that they have learned the valne of politeness and decorum even in tomahawking and scalping their politi- cal adversaries. On this subject, fresh from their summer recreations, it is a good time for our political party editors to take a ‘“‘new de- parture,” Personai Intelligence.

Repairing the French Calile—Facts Developed in Regard to Ocean Cables. Boston, August 19, 1871. The steamer Robert Lowe is cngagea in under- Tunning and repairing the French cable between the Island of St. Pterre and Duxbury, Mass, The tact has developea that the loss of both the English cables last year and the consequent ex- pense and inconvenience resulted from a stupendous bunder, When the cable of 1866 gave out the . fault was located by = the usual tests in mtd-oceat, whitner @ repair steamer Was despatched to take up and reunite the two ends, In grappling for these the cable of 1865 was picked up and accidentaly severed, and the efforts to flad the break of that of 1866 were fruit- jess, Tits leit the public dependententirely anon the French cavle until late last spring, when it was discovered that the fault tn the canle of 1866, in- steau of velng in mid-ovean, was in close proximity to the Newfonadiand coast, where tt might have been repaired in a few hours, except for the original mistake which resuitea in the rupture of one cable by efforts to find tne break in the other where 1t did not exist. The facts have an important bearing in promoting the laying of new and com- peting cables, confirining as they do the theory that ocean cables once properly laid in deep water are little Hable to be severed, FOREIGN TOPICS.
