Te figure pictures contrltmtcd by Pniladclphlans
Mine rrtwnt emimuon mase bat a lUlm array,
which by no means represents what has been done
by ear artiste In that Important branch dnrlnir the
fast year. It Is In the delineation of the human
fare that American art is weakest, and It Is the
possibility of competing with foreign works of the
oirie character, while the facilities for art education
are so limited, that makes tho management of such
an institution as the Academy of Klne Arts a matter
f the first Importance to those who have at heart
the interests or American art. A well-organized and
jadicioiiHly conducted Academy would do wonder
not only In the way of general culture, but In raising
tec standard of the work turned out hy those npon
whom falls the burden of raising and maintaining
the art standard In this country. American land
scape art hiis reached a point where Its most Jndi
lous friends can safely place It beside the best
European efforts. The American style Is dis
tinctive, as it should be ; It lacks
Home of the qualities which In the best Kuropcan
works have a 'charm for the connninxcur, but It has
there of equal importance; and with no restraints
whatever to Impede them In the study of their
models, it is gratifying to Hee tlmt the best American
landscape painters are beginning to free themselves
from any disposition to copy tin; manners of the
Kuropcan schools, and to develop a style of their
cwn, which is best adapted to the Interpretation of
the peculiarities of American scenery. Figure paint
ing, however, Is dependent In a very great measure
n the training of the schools, and until the schools
make an effort to approach those of Kurope In the
thoroughness of their course of instruction, it will be
useless to expect this branch of art to attain the per
fection It should. With very rare exceptions, the
American llgure painters who have made their mark
have completed their education in European schools,
and their pictures, therefore, always more or less re
Oect the French or llelgian style. This Is an evil
that calls for a remedy. An artist should be able to
obtain a complete education In this country ; and not
ntil snch an education Is possible can we expect to
witness the rise of a distinctively American school of
flgnre painting.
After Professor Schussele's "Ksther," the tint;
qualities of which are more apparent at each Inspec
tion, the most Important contribution to the present
exhibition, in the way of figure plctares,;are the four
very creditable works of Mr. I). it. Knight "The
Veteran," No. T7; "Tho Rival Pets," No. 114; "The
Hehearsal," No. 180; and Klchle's engraving of "Paul
Preaching at Athens," No. 2f9, all of which Jhave
been previously exhibited. Jl r. Knlght.Jwe believe,
invariably paints from a model, the;,only method by
which the highest excellence can be obtained, and
his works all show evidences of careful rand Intelli
gent study. The most prominent defect of his style
heretofore has been a coldness of tone,whlch was
not altogether agreeable ; but this has now, to a great
extent, been overcome, and his more recent works
fa -w a decided Improvement, not .onlylu color, but
. ';". expression, handling, and other equally
importanFqnal. Mr- Kul,f ? W Picture,

between her father and her lover, whose attention,
by-thc-way, seems to be divided between the old
man sitting in the chair before hlin, and the fair
maid whose white skirt is Just visible in the doorway.
This picture Is freely painted, and it thereby gains in
spirit and effectiveness. The color is good, and the
story is well told. Mr. Helmlck's bolder style of
handling will contrast very favorably with the more
. delicate manipulation of the attractive genre subject
y Butlbonne, "What shall I .say to him 7" No. 79,
which han near it.
Mr Milne RaiT8cy another young Phlladelphlan
now prosecuting his stl'dles in Paris, also exhibits a
creditable work. "A gentiC'ian in the costume of
Charles XIV studying the reiiCfUon in a glass of
wine," No. OS. Mr. Ramsey has hitherto een known
only by his admirable still-life studies, and wo re
glad to see that he is turning ins aueuiion w a nigner i
grade of art. There Is some bad ;drawlng in thiB
picture, but the color is good, and it gives us reason
to expect something better in the future.
From Mr. W. K. Winner we have three pictures
The Village Letter Carrier," No. 86 ; ' "Tired of
Skating," No. 108 ; and "John Alden and his Bride,"
No. 228 which are all painted in the peculiar grey
tone which Mr. Winner particularly affects, and
which will always detract from the value of his
works even if they possess merit in other respects.
The bull in the last-named picture Is a curiosity in
its way; it looks as if a two-story house had fallen
upon it and flattened it out.
Miss Ida Waugh contributes "The Bargain," No.
107 a clever work, in which her father's style is dis
tinctly visible and a very spirited portrait bust of
Carl Gacrtner, No. 290.
Mr. 8. B. Waugh exhibits eleven works, all of
which, with one exception, are portraits. Or these
the admirable portrait of J. Kdgar Thompson, Esq.,
belonging to the Pennsylvania Hallroad Company, is
the most noticeable, although the portraits or Abra
ham Lincoln, No. 84, and of President Grant, No. 41,
are also excellent.
Mr. George W. Pettlt having found it to his ad
vantage to exhibit his more Important efforts else
where, sends but one picture to the present exhibi
tion, "Marina," No. 108, and this having already been
lief ore the public on several occasions, is deprived of
the charm of novclty.i
"The Love Letter," No. 214, and "Solace," No. 221,
by Richard N. Brooke, arc the works of one of our
youngest artists. The first named represents a court
Jester and dwarf chuckling over a love letter which
has fallen into their clutches, and despite some crudi
ties of color and manipulation, it has merits which In
dicate talent of no mean order.
Among the animal painters Mr. Newbold II. Trotter
Stands alone in the present exhibition, unless we ex
cept Miss Mary Smith, who sends several of her little
chicken studies. Mr. Trotters most important
works are "Repose on tho Mountain side," No. i'2,
and "Alderueysatthe Brook," No. lsi. The lund
ecape In both of these pictures is butter than the
ani inula.
Tho only remaining work by a Philadelphia painter
that calls for special mention is un atrocious libel on
Miss Busan Galton, No. 2ar, by an urtist whose name
we do not remember to have seen before, and which
we charitably refrain from mentioning. We should
like to know what Injury the attractive little prima
dwna ever did to the artist, that he should allow hliu
eelf to perpetrate such a hideous caricature as this
urofessed portrait undoubtedly is.
In the line of sculpture Mr. .1. A. Ballly sends
nothing new, his "First Prayer," No. 209, and "Para

ever since lost spring. Mr. A. E. Ilarnisch and Miss

T Ih Jiditor f Tin Kvmiiuj 1'tlrrapK
In an article appearing In one of the 8unday papers
certain assertions are made, and oertain motives aro
ascribed, to some of the artist of Philadelphia which
have no fonndation in fact. I feel called upon, there
fore, to contradict a statement which places ns be
fore the public In a false light. Jealousy ami rivalry
are indirectly but pointedly mentioned as the reason
for myself and my brother artists not exhibiting at
the Academy of Fine Arts this spring; at least the
inference to tc drawn from the article to which I
have alluded would so Indicate, and it becomes ne
cessary for me to state here, what I have alreiulv
suited to the directors, that no such petty motives
actuate me, but that thedeliclenciea of the Academy
and its antagonism to American art are sn indent to
aeep me, anu snonid. I Hunk, deter a Amerirjiii
art.lMts, from exhibiting on its walls.
ini) sum ana stibmanec or my objections to the
Academy are as follows:
The an Ists, to the best of my knowledge, have no
real authority In the institution existinir under the
name of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Klne Arts
They sre vested with no right or privileges save
what are merely nominal, with the exewptiou r ad
mission free of charge, worth one dollar a head per
annum. The best Judges of art. and the meiniN nr
advancing the art interests of the community, aro,
undeniably, its artists. The best Judges of the busl-
iicsb inicrcsut oi an institution are its men of busi
ness. Hot h should be associated together amicably
and work side by side In the same good cause. But
for men of nieaiin, simply because they arc such, to
arrogate the entire control or an institution profess
ing to cultivate and foster art. almost iimm-biu im
professors, juid giving them an interest which
amount to an Insult, would be absurd did It not
seriously allcct the progress of native art thniiiirli the
country.
Al.y second obiection to tho Academy of Pim. Ami
is Mint an academy has never before, to my know
ledge, been aught else hut mi Institution of learning,
which lust certainly cannot, bo said in this case, as
the directors have, for some time, in the face of re
spectful pet II ions from the artists, made it an auc
tion mart for foreign pictures.
10 a great extent (thomx h the d rectors mav be
nnwllllng to acknowledge it) the Philadelphia artists
have built up the Academy, and given It whatever
standing it possesses as mi art institution; and this
iK-iiuiK'iii, w, mty me iciisi,, is ungrnteiui.
Lastly, the directors, having created a body of men
railed Academicians to confer and consort with
them in all things relating to the government of its
art matters, see lit to suspend Mr. K Morau without
calling a meeting of Academicians, of which body he
win) ineuiucr, conrwy to tneir rules, thus showing
thut they considered the Academicians a number of
men unworthy or the position they had given them,
and Incompetent to render any' judgment In the
case. If they had a right to suspend a member or
the Board of Academicians wlt.1 .mil. Mm fnm'iilrnt
action or that body, it is evident that the said body
must hold merely a nominal position; in other
words, they become the servants or the directors,
hanging their pictures for them year by year, and re
ceiving as wages the price of their admission to the
galleries and the title ol Academicians in the cata
logue, which title would be of emml viilnn w..r 11

with the purpose of making money in a legitimate
manner, and would (in that rote) deserve credit for I
cultivating the taste of the public by introducing
Kuropcan art, and by any other means they might
think proper.
The Academy has helped to Instruct many yonng
artists (myself among the number), for . which we
cannot fall to be grateful ; but it must not be for
gotten that the artists, in turn, have labored for it
and beautified Its paiiuuj exhibitions every year. The
funds it has spent In the tuition of young artists lias
been a good Investment, possibly a disinterested one.
After much spurring, some time ago the directors
purchased the "Purisina,"' a line work of art, the irri
tating stimulant being the Artists" Fund Society,
some of whose members did not wish so line a palm
ing to go out of Philadelphia.
The directors have lately, under the same indirect
spur, engaged Mr. Schussele, a prominent and
worthy artist, as professor. This has been a move
in the right direction.
But the Academy Is extremely defective in m any
respects, and it can never fully meet the require
ments of its name till its art interests are under the
control of professional artists. As it now exists, its
title is a misnomer, for, as an art institution, it is but
half aiive, having but little or no sympathy from the
only men who could put new animation in its wasted
proportions, and no feeling with the only men who
understand the retiuiiriuenia ot 1U I cannot
but ; confess that the vacillating and timid conuiict
or some oi tno protession nas been trie cause ot mucn
of the want of confidence displayed by the directors,
and the energy and nerve necessary to insist upon
heir lust rights, or withdraw rrom tne Acaaemy,
huve lieen greatly wanting among many of the artists.
Finding it useless to uontend longer in an almost
hopeless cause,I sent in my resignation to the Artists'
Fund Society and the Academy on the same day.
Whilo the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
remains under its present svBtem oi management
and nuine, I cannot conscientiously (as an American
artist and having the good of native art at heart)
ouscnt to exmoit on its wans; nut Biiouia tne
hauges hinted at take place, no one would work
hurderor desire more deeply Its success.
I do not wish unnecessarily to una tauit wit.n
others of the profession who may differ with me, but
trust that 1 will get credit lor nigner motives tnau
are ascribed In the article which called for this
reply. Uho. F. Bbnskm..

THE PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL
Aniiuiil MertiiiKof the Contributor to the In-
miliuion-Kenort of ihe Itoiu-d ol .llanaacra
OpcrutioiiN During the I'unl Year.
Un Monday afternoon last, the 3d tust., the annual
meeting of the contributors to the Pennsylvania Hos
pital was held at the institution, on South Eighth
street. The proceedings were full of Interest. Offi
cers for the ensuing year were elected, the names of
whom have already been publishsd in Tiik vTele-
gkai'H. The following reportof the Board of Mana
gers, which we print in totu, will be found well worth
tho reading:
To the Contributor tn the Peiiiixiih ania Hospital:
The want of variety all'ordod in the oversight of the
hospital, beyond the daily report of admissions, of
disunities, and sickness, affords but little oppor
tunity tor a report to tue coutrioutors istii com a ma
terially Interest them, further than the satisfaction
derived from knowing that all the patients who were
admitted within tne wans or tne nosnitai received
prompt attention, combining the best medical and
surgical skill with good nursing and kind treatment,
tending much to their comfort and the restoration of
their health.
In these respects the hospital Is unsurpassed, and
we would not withhold the meed of praise justly due
to the physicians and surgeons composing the medi
cal stall', 'as well as the resident physicians and the
omcers ot the Household, all or whom appear to bo
(Minus in the good cause, and with ability and
rutthtulncKS discharge their respective duties. Those
remarks are equally uppiicable to that branch of the
institution where those laboring under mental dis
eases are kindly and carefully treated.
The success which has attended tho efforts em
ployed on behalf or that afflicted portion or the
human ruiuily under the euro and Immediate over
sight of lr. Thomas 8. Kirkbride, physician-tii-chicr
and Superintendent, and his able assistants, has
been satisfactory, and would call vour especial
attention to Ms printed report giving much Informa
tion in relation to the very Interesting class of pa
tients under his care. 1
In this report the gratifying fact is announced or
the completion and occupancy of the ward erected
by the liberal bequest made lor this especial object
by our late friend Joseph Fisher, whereby twenty
fouradditional patlentHcau becomrortablv accommo
modated. This increased ability to provide for the
suffering is not commensurate with the Increasing
demands upon the Institution, but the mamiircrs in
dulge the hope that as in the past, go may the future
prove that wheu fuuds may be required to extend
the benefits of either branch of the hospliul thev will
be generously provided. '
While sneaking of the department for tim !.,.,,.
the board cannot withhold the expression of their
conviction that the high character which It has
always maintained has been Justly earned by a faith
ful application of all the means at Its disposal, mm
by an earnest and unselfish devotion on the part of
its officers to tho great objects of Its foundation.
While thousands of our own citizens, and ma.iv from
neurly every section of the country, huve been the
recipients ot Its beneiiis. we iuny neuevn, irom per
sonul examination, never intermitted a single week
ibirlnir the luHt tweiitv-elght years, ami irom a mini.
liarlty with all the coses received, that no one has
owr been placed there hut. from a sincere desire to
benefit the individual, and that none have ever been
rteuiiK-d a duy tourer tuan was beueven to be to
their permanent advantages There hit never been
a question on 'these points among those whose
stndles and experience have made them competent
Judges In regard to mental diseases, and no one
should be willing to put In opposition to these Urn
crude opinions of those who have no knowledge of
insanity, or of those who are actuated by bad mo
tives, or are still laboring nnder delusions.
The Board of Managers have never felt called npon
to reply to aspersions coming from such sonrces,
and which they imlteved the community knew how
to appreciate ; but they cannot refrain from placing
on record their own most decided convictions on
the subject. An interesting report of the
medical and surgical staff having nnder
their care the sick ami surgical cases in
the city department of the hospital accompanies this
report. They deserve great praise for their assidu
ous attentions to the Inmates of Its wards, whose
sufferings have hncn greatly alleviated nod their
lives, in many cases, preserved by the skilful treat
ment of the physicians and snrgeons who devote
their time and talent to this benevolent object with
out pecuniary reward.
The Pennsylvania Hospital, In both of its depart
ments, should be regarded its an extensive charity,
not making, nor desiring to make, money from its
operations, and always dependent, to a great extent,
on the bounty of a benevolent community for the
means of expensing Its benefits to those tinder suffer
ing and affliction.
It Is a source of gratification to your board to state
that the amphitheatre tor lectures and surgical ope
rations, which ror several years had leen In contem
plation, and the necessity tor which was daily more
apparent, has at. length been completed and was
formally opened oa the nluthdayof First month hvst,
bv an Interesting Mdress delivered by Dr. John F.
Meigs, one or the medical stall' or the hospital, to
four or five hundred students and physicians, and
also to the members of your board.
By the completion of this building, greatly Increased
facilities arc afforded in the performance of difficult
operations, requiring a proper admission of light,
which will remedy an inconvenience seriously relt
heretofore In the old operating room, situated, as it
Is, in thecentroof the main building, and illpadapte 1
tor a proper admission or light, and also deficient In
the means of accommodating the students intending
the clinical and general lectures at the hospital. The
The number of these is constautlv increasing, with
the Increase of our population, and the numerous
applicants from the different sections of our exten
sive country who desire to avail themselves or the
bench is or tills excellent school, and to make use of
the greatest facilities for attaining the object of their
pursuit, in the limited period devoted to
elementary studies, whereby they may qualify
themselves to render essential service to
those who may be mulcted liv sickness or accident
in their fnturo positions in life. This building was
erected In accordance with tho authority of the con
tributors at their last annual meeting. For several
years your Ismrd Indulged the hope that by the prof
fered aid of others not members or the board, an ap
peal to our fellow-clllens for this specific, purpose
would be crowned with success, and that the neces
sity for encroaching upon the capital or the institu
tion would be obviated ; but finding that these ex
pectations were not likely to be realized, they were
obliged to resort to this alternative as the only moans
at their disposal for accomplishing so desiiablo an
object. There has boon received from our friends
subscriptions amounting to tl2.T42,82 to aid in the
erection of the lecture and operating room, whilst
the cost or the building has been $27,072-08, leaving a
deficiency or 14,82J-2 to be supplied from our capi
tal stock, unless additional aid for this important
purpose can be obtained rrom other sources.
The completion or the sheds In the yard alluded to
In our report or lust year serves as an adjunct in the
restoration to health or convalescent patients, whose
comfort Is promoted bv an exchange of the atmo
sphere of the sick wiUU Ivr the Invigorating air or
this open spac.
From our treasurer's reort it appears that his re
ceipta from the income of Investments have been
during the last year Ua.BbS'lis, whilst his payments
for the snnnort or the ii,. u(unitii
me. sick and sm-vUut wiciitii itiS "u'", Jve
amonnted toJ4fl,lf)0, showing a UOSelOney ol fl'i,7C8-72
in this department.
It may lie readily seen tint, receiving as we do a
large proportion of the recent accidents occurring
within the limits of our Statp, if brought to the hos
pital within twenty-four hours, our expendi
tures mnstbe very heavy, and as this class
arc admitted and treated gratuitously the
cause of the dellciency referred to must
be apparent. We would' desire again to call
the special attention of the friends of the Institution
to the great importance of providing additional funds
to enable us to meet our current expenses, without
the necessity of frequent appeals being made to our
philanthropic and benevolent fellow-citizens. With
the large and rapid increase of our population there
will be a corresponding necessity to provide torn
greuter number of suffering patients, which can only
be met, as we desire to meet it, by a willingness on
the part of our friends to aid us.
The annual accounts herewith submitted will show
that, without the contributions made two years
since, and extending over a period of four years, and
the longest for five years, the city branch could not
have been sustained wlthont a considerable reduc
tion in the number of Its inmates. This would be a
cause of deep regret, and we trust will be regarded
as a loud appeal on behalf ot suffering humanity to
continue and extend the usefulness of the insti
tution. Since the last report of our treasurer there have
been received by him the following legacies and
donations, viz.:

Of the foregoing legacies and donations, all, ex

goes to the capital stock of the Institution, the in
come only of which can be used for current expen
ditures. In conclusion, vour board would express tne nope
that the continued blessing of an overruling Provi
dence may lie vouchsafed in the future, as we
humbly believe it has been in the past.

this morning,a man by the name of James Gallagher
was charged, on complaint of John A. Sehuff, a mer
chant tailor, of No. 203 South Tenth street, with ob
taining money by false representations. Tho testi
tnonv showed that in January last the accused went
to SchafTs place, and, representing himself as James
Wright, residing at No. 748 Pussyunk road, stated
that he had been recommended to his place
by Mr. Alfred Day, an acquaintance of Schatfs. He
picked out material for an overcoat, promising to
pay $10 on account that eveulng. The goods were
not permitted, however, to leave the place, but when
he returned, about an hour later, he received a loan
of $2, to procure some tools which ho hud left on the
banks of the Schuylkill, when short of funds. Not
returning ugaiu to repay the $2, or to see further
about his overcoat, suspicion was aroused. On in
quiry at the place named in Passyunk road, no such
person as James Wright could be found, but it was
ascertained that frequent inquiries had been made
there for him by persons whom he had victimized.
The police succeeded finally in getting on his track,
and this morning Reserve Officer Neuniau took him
into custody. By Alderman Beitler the accused was
sent below to answer the charge, ball for$H00 not
being forthcoming.

the Stomach, which is caused by a permanent

It generally begins immediately or a short tim.

2. Flatulence and AcidityThose symptom
arise from the Indigestion of food, whlchTr
nients, instead of digesting.
8. Coetlvencss and Loss of Appctite.-Thes
symptoms are the effecto of the unnatural con
dition of the food in tho stomach, and tho want
of pure bile and gastric juice. Tho stomach i.
often painfully distended by wind; the appetite
is sometimes voracious.
4. Gloom and Depression of Spirits. ThU

is caused by the impure blood furnished by im
perfect digestion. Inthia stage of the diseas
many persons commit suicide. There is a eon

there is an uneasiness in the throat, with a sens,
of choking or suffocation; tho mouth is offcm

7. Consumptive Symptoms and Palpitation of
the Heart-Many persons pronounced as having
these diseases have, In fact, nothing but Dyt
pepsia, the lung and heart disease being only
symptoms. b
8. Cough -This Is a very freqnent symptom
of Dyspepsia, and leads very often into con
firmed Consumption.
9. Want of Sleep.-A very distressing eym
tom, resulting often Iu mental derangement.
10. Symptoms of External Relation.-The
patient is affected painfully by old and heat,
which is owing to unnatural dryness of skin, and
the skin is often affected by eruptions and tot
tors The gloomy dyspeptic avoids society as
much as possible.
11. Vomiting.-A freqnent and distressing
symptom. It relieves the pain, but emaciate,
and wears out tho patient.
18. Dizziness, Dimness of Vision, Headache,
and Staggering m WalkingThese aro v
alarming symptoms, which are speedily removed
by our medicine, but If neglected are quicklr
followed by numbneas and sudden death.
13. It is impossible for us to give all the symp
toms of Dyspepsia hi so small a space, but the
above are considered sufficient, if we add that
the patient loses his memory and regard to sur
rounding objects, and frequently becomes morose
and sour in disposition. Wo should say, how
ever, that pains In the jointa and stiffness of the
limbs, which go by tho name of Rheumatism
and Neuralgia, are produced by Dyspepsia. Also,
a hardness of the muscles of the abdomen, which
becomes contracted and hard, and in some case
the belly sinks, instead of being gently promi
nent. A touch of the Dyspepsia has changed a man'e
whole life, and an irregularity of the bile ha
made many an angel almost a fiend. If the gas
tric juice is all right, and the blood in swimming
order, the world is a nice, bright, pleasant placet
from which nobody is Iu a hurry to move; but if
in that queer, mysterious fluid there is an alloy
the sky of life is all cloud, tho winds howl
and everything is dark and dismal. If yOU Wlin't
to fed happy, look after your digestive and cir
culating systems.
One box of Dr. Wlshart's Great American Dys
pepsia Pills will cure the most aggravated and
long standing cases of Dyspepsia, where physi
cians aud all other remedies fail.
