THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31, 18G8. Kntiln Marin ilo! Flore. A corrcfnomlent wriilni; Irotn r lon-ucrr, thm doscribos tliu Church of Mint a Atari del Fiore After I cxpf rii'Dcrd the no Iv-tu-oii-o-d rtDo-.loni awaki-m-ii by tlie t.k;-HSn iug dome of st Pctct's at Momr, 1 il-nuuh. that a-ivibiiig more daring aud complete lu tti wav of Imaginative creations could not be coiicWpJ by inorii'; but litre 1u Floretne i am wholly absrbol In the contemplation of tin prU'leur nuii sutx limity of 8-uita Maria del Fiorc Ht-re ip.thet;c BClencc is unlettered. Hplre mid slia't, flyliisj buttress and lofty windows, whose litrliis give out celesttul colors, lift up their forms u itil tney are almost lost in ttife wHi-oruui'i heaven above them. Here 1 Did tho true Gothic, char acterized by that ethereal delicacy that uplliis the soul to its Maker, f tun linr lu the nhade of its lolty spire, human tell U nunihtlHteri. As I decipher its InUnlty of artlitic adornment", which lead the eye and thought upwar), uo ing liete and there tho lavish painlii g nnd ecutp tuie, the embodiment ol spiritual uud tiiiufflua tlve IrcuKU-s S'lRiiefted by piro and shaft, I became conscious of the adaptability of two and flexibility of beauty Illustrated by granite, junrble, and porphyry. I have observed Unit tho chief characteristic feature ot Gothic architecture, that which Rives It a value lor spiritual purposes beyond any other system of architecture, seems to be tie elected by the modern binMer. I refer to Its stained giiiM windusaud gcnerul management of color, light uud shade. Its Inter and best Btyle of wiudow were thee wnich were curried out in the cathedrals ot France and Bnal iud ; the one milked by richness and liphtncn, ami the other by richness ami solidity, each beauti ful. Here we have the full object and meinUii; of architecture, iuternnlly and externally. The architect's work is not completed when the chisel is laid down. S methiiK jet requires to be added to the eolcmu shadows of "column, pointed arch and tky-tipped tplre, the enduring lefeoiiH of carved bton and brilliant fresco to all these must be added the rays ot heaven, tinted light, streamniff through raiiibo-liut(l Windows, which, lalliug iu Blunting stream-), fill the whole iutcrior ot the sanctuary with n soft effulgence. What a contrast wo havepresented.ln this pic ture to the style of ornamentation so prevaleut in church architecture in this country! Wuti us the rule is barren walls, broken by craccless windows, sUu", crivii doorways, aud a thousand devices aud ornaments Bis-nitvinir nothing. Monstrosities of art are tenuud lutsiiirici-ut. Polished marble, and crnnito displaying evi dences of manual diliiciilties overcome, all barren of soutimeut or the essence of intel lectual ait, are accepted as peculiarly appro priate and applicable, simply because the American people hive not jet learned the true definition ot ai and lack the backbone to acknowledge tlictr ignorance. Monstrous crea tions wrought by the hatn-ncr and chisel are termed -works ot'cousuniniae taste and ability;" "niafinlticeDt prooia ol powerful genius;" "equal If not superior to anything to be tound in Europe." Adjective is piled ou adjective, all swelling words reminding one ol thei'able of the froRMDU the ox, words having1 no more applica tion to the matter under consideration tuna a criticism ou Cole's "Voyage ot Ll.e" benrs to a blacking box. A correct nr prociatlou ot art is of gr.Kluul growth and study. But a-i the feel ing is iuiiiie lu man, all that is required is cul ture. Art ha beou de.flned a the oruumeutal Bide ol lite, as Ecieuce is its useful. Theie is no reaon why Americans, whose keeu appieciutiou of all that is appropriate in art as well as material development his been dtniousuatPd time atter time m Illustrations appealing directly to the intellect, should be content to borrow perpetually when they have the ability to build upon a b.isis founded upon an intimate knowledge ot art and its require menU. We have tetn iu a single branch of ornamental urt what per-evei auce, eucrgy, and study can accomplish. This brauch combines: First, decoration, having lor its object ornament and pleasuics. Second, illustration appealing directly to the iutcllect. Third, purely imagi native expressions exhibiting revelations of the artist's inner conceptions All thn:e are embo died in the art ot glass sla'ning. Iu the middle gs tlie art ranked eecorid to none. All that was attempted in landscape ami bmorieal painting was seized upon eagerly by the glass fctainer. adapted to architecture, and burned into elass to endure forever. When the artists died their secrets d.ed with them. The in creased demand for the produc'ion of skilled artists lu this profession (a demand which is not confined to our continent alone), however, leads us to indulge the hope that this art, pm-tialiy lost, will again be res.oicd to the world iu its perlection. The American people are susceptible of the highest culture. There U u disposition evinced to demonstrate this fact, which is nowhere more apparent than in the revival of a pure architecture in our church edifices. In the purely ornamental and decorative art the public are beginning to demand nomcthiog better than tawdry, nieuniiiglesfl designs and Flaring colors that violate tate and harmony. Tue very de cided demand for appropriate and symmetrical ornament s, adapted especially to public build ings, bids tair to ba supplied by native maun facturers uud artists. A single firm iu New York, Messrs. Psce. Zellers & Dull', devote their ener gies to the ta?k of supplying the demand. Thus far they have been succe.f ul iu their ell'ort.s to place the ai t upon a permanent foundation. Tbat they will be able to restore it to its glory, iruen the ruleis of the world bowed before the genius of the adept in the art, is more than we can reasonably hope. But that they will suc ceed in time in rivalling tho finest productions of modern times in Europe U within the scope of possibility. Whoever will take the trouble to examine the glass stained by this firm, will be eratified to perceive how nearly the artist ap proaches the perfection only to be fouud In the oldest European estaolisliments. He will also form some idea of the possible achievements in the art under the fostering encouragement of an appreciative people.who have only to will it in order to rival the Old olid iu all that is harmonious iu art as well as material progress. There is nothing in the art of ornamentation feasible that this firm will not attempt. They have succeeded in produeiug larger sheets of plats, uulform iu color, t-ofi, brilliant, 'und ex hibiting a rate harmony, than can be found in any other establishment in the country. Manu facturing their own glass, they obtain u.crvtal clear sheet of any given size, for a baBis. Their facilities enable them topic.uuce a sheet varying from fifty to sixty inches In lencth in the time ordinarily occupied in stainivg and enamelling the smallest sheet. Discarding stereotyped pat terns and old-faehioned designs, thoy have suc ceeded in perfecting a process which enables them to produce patterns cf any required de scription in the bUurtesl space of tune. It will be seen from this that paniej interested iu church buildings can obtain fcoecial patterns at cost, with the privilege ot retaining exclusive possession of 1 hem, A field i alo opened for the artistic taste ot partii: connected with 1 public enterprises. In a word, tho firm alluded to have smoothed over soujC ol the greatest difficulties that havo hitherto Mo d lu the way of the reMoratioc of one of tho mobt useful ol the fine arts. Charles IMcUvuh' New Itemllngs Iu I'nif lautl. Mr. Dkkeus has beun in London a new genes of readmea, in which the humorous uud story of the murder Loudon 2'tlegraplt, 'Feelinr in some doubt as to the ltnrircssinn that a tale of such horror would produce, tlie author recently gave au experimental rea liust, in the presence ot some forty or fifiy persons, for the most partdiMiuuulsbed In literature aud art, and capable of giving a reliable opimou on the expediency of repeating the venture before a miscellaneous audience, from the selection Mr. Dickens has rigidly excluded all that has not immediate relation to the murder of Nancy the climax of the tale. Sr we hear nothing of the Artful Dodgtr, or of Bumble, or eveu ot Oliver Twist himself. Nor is there any comic relief lo Ibo tragic history except that airorded in the lew words spoken by Nouh Claypole. "Mr. Dickens evinces greut art iu painting in the Btiongcst colors tho characteristics ot each personage oa bis first appe,irani;e, after wards sui'gestiiig. rather than deliueatiug, a lli at the flow of the narrative muy not he too much Imerrupted.

The suts: laid as d, even when perousl fear has brought oui all ih latent fproclty of his nature the cowardice and cunning that prompt him, evon in his wildest paroxysm of rugo against a girl, to provoke nrother man todo timdeed he burus to see done, but d-ircs not do hum-elf, were ex r resscd with wonderful completeness of effect. In strong contract was the dull, heavy animal nature ot Bikes, incapable alike of thought and ot fear, a bull dog obedient to a fox. The most painfully real pasaee In the 'reading' was tbat in which Nancy pleads vainly for her life to her brutal and exasperated murderer. It was just one ol ihoie effects which would be ludicrous if they were not terrific. "The verdict ot the ptlva'e audimeo wru tine quivoeably favorable. Mr. Dickens has appointed Tuesday, the ftth of January, tor t ho first piiblic reading ot 'fikes and Nancy.'" Nuintln;f.

They fix oue eye on a bundle of cabbages, and snatch up a pound of bacon fat that thoy have spotted with the other. To or three servants of that kind might prove very useful ou occasion. And you. cannot make a squinter bluh, not even if you catch him in the act. The seat of shame is in the eye, and people blink when they are not able to look straight back at their confrouters; but the squinter shltts all his shave into the eye that is turned away, and looks at you with the other, coldly, impassively, stonily. It is almost imposiblo to get the beat of a squinter in prlvata lite. Is she a duenna, and are you looking for the chance of a moment's flirtation with her fair charge ? Hhe turns aside to poke the fire, to pick up her work, to gUuce out of the window. You seize tho happy opportunity, yon paw a little note, you get a hasty squeeze from a little hand, you throw the longing ot a life into one eloquent look; and lo 1 a spare eye has been on you all the while, has interpreted the loving look, has dilated with horror at the clasping of the hands, and has half read the little note. Are you dining with Guloeus ? Think not that be is unmindful of you when he bends over his Llate, or leans back to drink a deep draught of afitte. Another eye is doing duty over you, has loreseen nnd fruslrated your desire for that lii't cote.ette a la Vtcomicsse, and has rendered uttTiy lutilo your efforts to snatch a surrep. tiiious 'gluss. What, though you have just told your best story, have just let olf your long, bottledup joke? Are you, therefore, vain, credulous man, to keep that bottle ot "comet" claret in delicious proximity to your right bund? No. An eye that never Bleeps is on you, and from ufar olf the voice of doom Is heard. "Please to till up Mis. G.'s gluss, and pass the bottle this way." I) you hear au invnatiou to remain? Thiols not it is for you. Tue face may be turned towards you, but the inviting eye is directed otherwise. Do you hear a hint about going ? Though you may only see the bacK of the head t f the speaker, yet the look, aud the words ace emiony 'Tig the look, may be meant lor you. Dbregard them not, lest they be repeated with si par ticularity ot emphasis aud gesture that may make jou disagreeably conspicuous. Take it however jou will, it is an unequal battle. You canuot go on fighting against a man or a woman who has oi.e ee for his or her business, ami for a 11 airs generally, and another for your eoecial behoof. You must give tin when there aie ngainst you (slightly altering the words of our grtat poeij: 'Everywhere Two eyes In couucll, two beside tbn beanh, Two in tae tangled huBluins oi me world, Two in tlie liberal ollices of Ule." It is the fashion of the nreseut day to attempt to utilize everything, including sewage aud the liittiitsent working man. u ny, tuen.suouia we not utilize the squinter? Here is a fine field forinventive genius, and. as a small contribu tion, we euugebt two vocations in life In which no intent be ot service, lie mignt oe a wouuer ful racing judge. There is one contingency iu racing where ire ordinary judge Is of necessity helpless. Wbeu two horses are running wide on the far side of the course, and a third is hugging the rails on the judge's side, if the three pass the wicning post almost abreast, it is ph.saicilly impossible for the judge to see more than two of tbem. He s'ands in his box, and looks straight across at a post on the opposite side. He cau then only see whetever passes across that particular line ot sigut. But it Is clear that a horse passing at the same time immediately under the nose would not cut that line of sight at all, especially when the course is very wide, as arc some of the courses at Newmarket. The judge would then lege him, as it is technically called; or if his attention was distracted iu his favor, he would lose the two on the opposite side. We ourselves havo seen more than one lnstauceof this at New market. Now a judge with a powerful squint could keep oue eye fixed on tne opposite post, nnd the other ou tie ground just under his faet, or on any point where a horse, running very wide of the rest, would pass the winning-chair; and ns the two eves would see simultaneously. in point ot time, although the lines of vision would be dillerent, there would be no difficulty in loiming an accurate judgment under the mo&t arduous circumstances. Again ;tne squin ter would be invaluable as au umpire at cricket. Formerly, when high bowling was not allowed, the umpire at th bowler's end had to see three things almo:t simultaneously: First, that the bowler's arm was not uuduly elevated; secondly, thatj h s first foot was not over tho cnase; and. thirdly, that he did not bowl a wide ball. He is not required now to look after the first ot these three; but still, it 1s a great edort to attend accurately to the bowler's loot and then tudilenly to raise your eyes, and note with equal accuracy tue pitcn oi tne Dan. Still more diilicult is it to judge a run-out. Fremientlv the bat is grounded, and the balls are w hipped off almost in the same instaut of time, xet the umpire must witness eacf oi these actions separately, by two distinct actions ot vision; and it is not too much to say that there are numberless cases ot this kind in which the umpire's decision can be nothing else, from physical causes, t ban a happy gu-ss. But our squinter, with cue eye on the wicket-keeper's hunus, and the other on the batman's foot or but whichever was foremost could see both actions independent h. and could decide with mathematical certainty which occurred first. Di ub, less, there, are other cases in which the t( rvlces of the squinter m'gbt bo introduced with happy results; aud it is not ImposMble that he mav be destined to play an important part in the future. He may yet have uis revenge ou the jokers who have made fuu of h'tn torso lminv centurle.-: he may yet live to illustrate the proverb, that those who laugh the loudest uo not always win. .lackEonville, 111., U to have its water works.
