Of the two grand ro- mances which take in all the Russian life the second contains fewer ideas and deeds than the first; it probes deeper the wounds of the heart; it descries the troubles of passion and the philo- sophic problems of the Russian con- science during the turmoil of souls which characterized the reign of Alex ander 1I. Commenced about 1865, the publication of the work suffered long delays. Tolstoi abandoned it and then | took it up again, and only finished some last chapters in 1877. It is then at the moment when the success of “Anna Karenina” fixed defi- nitely the supremacy of the author in| his own country, on the eve of the day | when his influence and his fame were beginning to spread to other lands, that | the capricious comet wheeled in the | heavens, plunged into the night and | lost itself in the nebulae. Leon Niko-| lalevitch bid an irrevocable adieu to his | art, upon which he heaped anathemas. During a period of twenty years since then he has taken up his pen only to| write against that art, against the civilization of which it was a part, against love, war, science and the es- tablished church. Theological, national- istic treatises followed each other with- | out delay. “My Confession,” “My Re-| ligion” and “Commentaries on the Gos- pel.” This fettered slave to thought, whose | chains he wished to throw off, strove to reach out and understand his life in order to simplify it. He turned labori- ously in a circle of complications, al- ways the same. He did not know what he wished, but he wished it ardently, | and above all, he wished nothing that already existed. He frequently gave | illustrations of his doctrine with short parables and moral tales for the bene- fit of the people. Art is a demon which | one does not easily exorcise. Some of | these tales are masterpleces of a new | kind, as “Master and Slave,” “For Why f Do Men Live,” or as that moving and | forbidding drama, “The FPowers of Darkness." The instinctive method of the great realist triumphs and subjugates us in the discussion of his subject, whether he unveils the misdeeds of love in the “Kreutzer Sonata” or denounces the charlatanism of art in his last enter- prise of demolition. “What is art?” A method whose es- sence 1s to strip the real fact of the tra- ditional verbiage, under which it ap- peared to us, and to show it simple, | naked and living. This direct view gives an incomparable force to the crit- ical premises of this demolisher. We vield ourselves to the evidence and agree with him as to the poor nothing- ness which one finds under appear- ances, but we recoil by instinct and a horror of a void from his conclusions which lead us to the absurd to the naught. The indifferent old man—if one in- deed can be so to universal admiration —merits the homage which comes to | him now from so many hearts con- the simple lessons of life in his pen pictures, from so many souls | lightened by the rays which he has | ted to the depths of our thoughts. | remains, and doubtless | pre His influence of all those which at this time are ex- | ercised in the "piritual world. | st LEON TOLSTOL will remain a long time, the most potent | g STRIKING PICTURES AT THE FALL EXHIBITION Notable Canvases That the Ho HE fall exhibition of art at the Hopkins Institute is primarily one of landscapes and portraiture. The absence of figure compositions need not necessarily imply that our artists are not equal to such ad- vanced work, for our past exhibi- tions have shown us what may be done In this line, but as long as the purchasing public show a substantial ap- preciation for canvases that do not In- volve much labor and may be sold for a small consideration, artists will, and Justifiably, supply this kind of work. While the exhibition is not as large as some others have been, In quality it 1S all to be desired, as it contains some very excellent examples of many well-known artists. In looking over the various can- vases and scanning the different subjects represented, one is foreibly impressed with the thought that the troublesome spirit of our late war times must have left its imprint in artistic circles, for there seems to be an unusual expression of stormy ideas. Such titles to pictures “Before the Storm,” *After the Storm,” “The Approaching Storm,” “Summer Showers,” “April Showers, “A Passing Storm,” greet the observer from all parts of the exhibition. The main hall of the institution is at this time and will be for future occasions reserved for the permanent exhibition, while the new work is hung In the ad- joining south rooms and the conserva- tories. This is to be regretted, for, while the light in the main hall is not the best uring the day, in the evening It is very good and pictures may be seen to better S vantage than elsewhere. The Hopkins a very undesirable ting, for the decora- tions are so aggre: e that any canvas, no matter what its excellence, must suf- fer in such a setting, and the artists who from year to year send their work to exhibitions are long suffering and ely patient. The board of directors appreciate the condition of affairs and a movement is on foot toward the construc- tion of a gallery in connection with the institute. Two hundred and forty-three numbers, of which seventy are in the permanent collection, constitute the exhibition, and ng these are ofls, water colors, pas- s, minlature paintings, pen and ink and pencil drawings ana four pieces of sculp- ture, besides which there is a collection wenty-five sketches _contributed by s for membership dues, which wiil ributed by lot to members on the ay night of the exhibition. d ‘“‘art is_feeling passed through thought and fixed in form.” One Institute at best place to show a pa som es wonders what kind of feeling must have sped some poor mortals to give fort! h expressions.

The grand ball that was given by Oro | Fino Parlor for the benefit of the board of relief that is to establish a home for Native ‘Daughters was a very - pleasing affair. Last Wednesday Mrs. Lena H. Mills, rand president, officially visited the par- fi)r at Anderson, on the 13th she was with the one at Shasta, and last night she was with the one at Weaverville. Tuesday next she will visit Woodland Parlor. San Jose Parlor is making arrange- ments for a social evening and dance on the 28th inst. for the benefit of the board of relief. The following named commit- tee will have charge of the function: Misses Lizzie Byers, Alice Verser, Tillle Campiglia, Rosalie Belloli, Eleanor Bel- loli and Madelyn simone. THE NATIONAL UNION. At the meeting of Golden Gate Council Jast Tuesday night there was a large at- tendance, and a number of matters of | lspecml interest to the members ware dis- cussed, one belng a proposition to enable |a member having lost all blood relations to declare to whom his’ beneficiary cer- tificate should be PU& This matter will be brought before the senate of the order. During the evening there were six ini- tiations and five applications were re- | celved.

The membership and friends of the California Society of Ohio filled the As- sembly Hall of the Red Men's buildin last Wednesday night on_the occasion o the lecture dellvered by William H. Jor- dan, the well-known attorney. Preceding the 'lecture there was a short business meeting, and the following named were admitted to membership: J. A. Sllverman, W. T. Hunter, A. P. Van Duzer, W.

El Capitan Division No. 115 of the Order of Railway Conductors gave its first com- plimentary entertainment and social in the sociai hall of the Alcazar bullding last Wednesday night. There was a large number present, and after an ad- dress by W. V. Stafford, there was a good programme of musical and literary numbers, at the close of which the mem- bers and guests partook of a cholce colla- tion. Then followed dancing. George S. Smith was the conductor of entertain- ment and he was assisted by J. E. Dillen, T. L. Shuck, B. Bryant and T. Billinslea, the committee of arrangements. THE AMERICAN GUILD.

FORESTERS OF AMERICA. Last Monday night Court Bonita held an open meeting in Mangels' Hall, which was crowded to its limit of comfort.
