From the. article on "The Annexation of
Nova Scotia," by a Nova Hcotian, we take the
following snggostive paragraph:
As might have been expected under these
circumstances, onr political ponition has been
fully considered by every thinking man in tho
province; and I am prepared to prove to any
one having a knoweldgo of this province that
the most intelligent minds in it have long ago
decided in favor of annexation to the United
Htates. Uy the "most intelligent minds," I
do not mean merely the author and his pri
vate friends; I mean the professional men,
the merchant, the members of the Dominion
and local legislatures, and the largo class of
men who have had dealings of some
sort with tho United Stales during the past
ten years. The medical profession, most of
its members having studied in the American
colleges, is very deeply tingod with annexa
tion sentiment. The legal profession con
tains many unnexationsts in its front ranks.
Tho merchants of Halifax all of them who
have a thought abovo sugar and rum are
almost unanimous in their wish for annexa
tion. The members of the local legislature
are in many cases very outspoken in their
wish to nnnex tho province to tho United
States; and if a motion, such as that made
lately in the New Brunswick Legislature,
were made in our local House, it would not
call up even the censure of the Speaker, if it
was not received with favor. Tho counties of
TicUm and liichmond in tho east, and Digby
nnd Yarmouth in tho west, are notorious in
their desire for annexation: tho counties bor
dering on these havo all partaken of tho fool
ing in some degree: in lino, all the counties
which have ever had any dealings with tho
United States are fast becoming converts to
the now doctrine. Tho county of Halifax
even, in whoso chief city the pride, pomp,
and circumstance of militaryparade are always
before our eyes, with the legislative halls and
the residence of tho Governor in our midst,
with frowning battlements on all sides
and, most important of all, with about three
hundred thousand pounds a year Rpent on tho
.troops is fast becoming as passively disloyal
as the county of Tictou or Yarmouth. When
Halifax looks towards the United States, the
province will soon follow. At present we are
of no country, of no allegiance. We are often
told that if Ave wero an independent province
we would be isolated. But as an unwilling
part of this heterogeneous Dominion we are
isolated indeed. Disgusted with her experi
ence of the working of the new administra
tion, in ill temper with Great Britain, and
desirous of changing her allegiance restrained
on the one side by England and Canada, and
in some measure repulsed on the other by the
United States Nova Scotia looks vainly
wound her for a ruler to reverence, a consti
tution to live by, a flag to fight under, as a
child who is born at sea might gaze around
upon tho wide waste of waters, seeking in
vain for a land to cull his own for the green
fields and bhady trees of thnt haven of rest,
his home.
It may be said, When the desire for annexa
tion in Nova Scotia is so st rong and so gene
ral, why is it not more loudly and generally
expressed ? Tho answer is an easy one to
give: Many years' experience of tho working
of British institutions, of British ways and
customs, the continual presence in our midst
of the rod-coatod soldiery of Britain, and the
continual occurrence of loyal celebrations in
Queen's fetes, etc., havo given to that word
loyalty a dim, mysterious sacredness which
makes men afraid to whisper a word that
might endanger its prestige. It is not easy
to change the thought of a people. But even
the reverence for that dim, mysterious thing,
loyalty, is fast dying out. Before the time of
our trouble we were content to go on in the
old English fashion, thinking the thought and
epeaking the speech of our grandfathers, and
conducting our business in the slow old way
of the shopkeeper of the last century, whom
Mr. Cobden has so well described in one of
his pamphlets. But with trouble came
thought. We looked before and after, and if wo
sighed for what was not, I am convinced it
was not for the fast-dying spirit of loyalty,
but for the coming of' the quickening spirit
which is to be born when the flag of Britain
is furled for ever in Nova Scotia, and one star
more glitters in the banner of the Union.
We begun seriously to consider concerning that
same loyalty, and began to see that tho
gorgeous thing we had reverenced was, after
all, but an "enchanted wiggery." We beg in
to see that, as Mr. Carlylo says, "our Jugger
naut whs no Juggernaut, but a dead mechani
cal idol." We bethought ourselves of the riso
and fall of kingdoms and kings, of the dis
memberment of an empire of Charles V, of
the beheading of a Charles I, of the be
heading of a Louis XVI, of tho revo
lution and riot, the grasping and dipping
of territory, that had taken place at no remote
date; and saw that "Loyalty," as wo had reve
renced it, and as we had been called upon to
practise it, had no abiding place among tho
people. We saw a gigantic nation alongside
of us that had begun its lifo historically as a
rebel colony, and which was now the most
important customer and source of revenue to
the mother country which had lost it. Wo
Raw the many colonies of old Spain and of
France doing for themselves somo of them
indeed doing budly euough, but still doing
for thcnmlri-H working out their own destiny
in their own manner,unoppressod by the sense
of dependence on any ot her country. We had
thus sacred sanctions of historical precedents
to encourage us. We had more too. We had
our own necessities, and we had tho implied
consent of Great Britain. Our own necessi
ties press us sorely. Our production of coal
has almost ceased, and mines that could feed
all tho furnaces of tho world havo stopped
working for want of capital, and for want of a
good market to sell what is produched. Our
agricultural luborcrs are leaving the country;
our fishermen are fishing in American
bottoms; our mechanics go forth from
ws weekly in squads, finding no sufficient
wageH in their own country. They go
forth from Nova Scotia like the doves
out of the ark, and do not return the surest
sign that they have found a safe and dry
resting-place. A reciprocity treaty would in
Borne measure cure all this, but our leaders in
the Canadian administration have refrained
from opening negotiations, because if our
prosperity depends on our connection with
the United States, the dullest mind must see
that the closer we make the connection tho
Letter for us.
I tremblo to think of tho consequences
which must ensue for England and for us
from tho continuance of tho Dominion side
by side with the weulthy and warlike republic
If this confederation holds together, tho ob
ject of its rulers will be to build up a nation
powerful and wealthy enough to cope on
equal terms with its mighty neighbors. It
must endeavor to compete with them in agri
culture, in manufactures, in commerce, in
building railroads and steamships, in drawing
to its thorns the strong and skilled hands that
tUftfovu' ec&s lg Luil4 vy tls talis vf
land not their own; and, alas! it must nil )
compete with them in military preparation.
There mnst be, on the banks of the St. L iw
rence and the borders of Maine, a "do:;blo
row of cannon and a double row of custom
houses." There must be, between American
territory on the North and American territory
on the Smith and West, a separate power in
all respects antagonist to tho United State.
Looking before and after, at the past history,
present position and future prospects of tint
country, can any man feel that such a state of
things is without danger of war ? The Unite 1
States is the home of a whole people which
cherishes the deepest hatred to England. The
Irish element is getting stronger yearly in tho
United States, and while England is bound to
protect her colonies, she is never certain of 1
peace w ith tho United States while a Fenian
organization exists, or while n raid over the
frontiers is possible. Further, tho "Monroa
Doctrine'' may not be proclaimed daily from
the housetops, but it is still a living, active
spirit in American politics. Tho "Latin Em
pire" in Mexico, at the frown of the republi
can giant, "toppled over with a shriek' tho
shriek of a murdered king. The Dominion
of Canada must sooner or later meet
with the snmo fate. I pray it may
not be a more bloody one. While the Do
minion exists there is ever tho cloud of war
on tho horizon. To those living in England
it may Feem but of little moment, but to us
who live under the shadow of it it is porten
tous. I nuiy be told that it does not becomo
England, who rejoices in eight hundred years
of battle and conquest, to fear any nation.
But I submit that England has defeats and
losses to remember, and has had before her
eyes, lately, proofs of tho prowess of tho
United States. I can pardon the pride which
remembers with joy old glories and successes,
but there is no excuse for the blindness which
ignore s old defeat nnd disaster. I can pardon
the inexperience which trusts to a bright sun
nnd nn almost unclouded sky for a continu
ance of lino weather, but there is no excuse
for the stupidity which neglects the little
cloud on tho horizon, and rests in fancied
security until the full force of the tempest
bursts on unprotected heads.
From "Our Monthly Gossip" we take the fol
lowing opinion of the relations between the
Academy of Fine Arts and tho artists of Phi
ladelphia. It is not correct in all particulars,
but is mainly just und true:
Art nnd artists afford generally matter for
a little gossip, nnd there seems to be in the
antagonism now existing between tho Phila
delphia artists and tho Academy of Fine Arts
a fair field for a few honest words, gossip or
otherwise. It is claimed by those most inte
rested in tho pecuniary success of the Academy
that there are now on exhibition in its gal
leries "dozens of iirst-class pictures" by our
artists. Notoriously, this is not the
case: Philadelphia's best men are hardly
represented at all, nnd there is scarcely a joid
picture now hanging in tho Academy halls by
a Philadelphia artist. Most of those exhibited
are not worth the frames in which they are
hung. This may be an unpalatable truth, but
truth it is. If the progress of art in this city
be there fully represented, woo betide poor
art ! The Directors seem desirous to place
the artists in the position of ungrateful chil
dren, who, after having been reared and
trained in the Academy, now desert
her, the "Alma Mater" of their youth
ful days. Such does not seem to be
(after a careful investigation of tho
history of our artists) the truth: no artist
whose name adds to tho lustre of our city, or
whoso works are known beyond its limits, has
ever drawn or studied in tho Academy. All
have made their studies abroad or in private
studios in this city. The efforts of the artists
hitherto exhibiting, tho result of many years
of painful study, havo been used by tho di
rectors as a means (given by the artists ora-
tuitouxh) to swell the importance of tho an
nual exhibitions and the amount ot the an
nual receipts. But they are carefully excluded
from the management of the aifairs of tho in
stitution, and have no sulheient voice in its
councils. Their pictures are accepted and
hung anyhow and where, and tho galleries of
tho Academy, except during tho spring exhi
bition, let to salesmen who profit by tho inex
perience of our picture-buyers. This is a
scandal. Good foreign art is ever welcome,
and most of nil to uvtists, but bud foreign
work should never have a place on tho walls
of an Academy devoted "to tho ndvancemant
of Art in Pennsylvania." So far Gossip says.
Jle has not a wish but to increase tho love of
Art among us, and to see an advance in tho
appreciation of good Art by its patrons and
producers.
"The Atlantic."
The July number of tho Atlnntlo has tho
following table of contents: "The Drummer
Ghost," "Birch Browsings," "A Statue,"
"Tho Foe in the Household," "Thomas Craw
ford; a Eulogy;" "Gabrielle do Bergorae,"
"Three Years ns a Negro Minstrel," "Tho
ltestored Picture," "Marrying a Pickpocket,"
"The Greek Goddesses," "Our Inebriates,
Harbored and Helped," "French and English
Art-Writers," "Keviews and Literary Notices."
From tho nrticle entitled "Thomas Craw
ford; Eulogy," we take the following:
In Craw ford's works there nro not ahvaM
that minute finish und patient elaboration of
details which an unrijie taste in art is apt to
overvalue. His inventive faculty was so
strong, ideas darted into his mind with such
rapidity, thut ho could not linger over the
meshes of a net or tho folds of a veil with tho
plodding assiduity of a Chinese carver in
ivory. Before one ideal form was embodied,
another rose before him, with a beauty of pro
mise upon its brow like the light of phos
phorus in the morning sky. His inspiration
was "as a burning fire shut up in his bones,
and he could not stay."
In XM'i he wrote: "I regret that I have
not a hundred hands, to keep pace with tho
working of mj' mind." This was with him
not a rhetorical flight, still less an eft'usioii of
vanity; it wus tho simple expression of a
strong feeling. Whenever ho was willing to
lay any constraint upon his fervid spirit, no
one could finish more completely or carefully
than he did. A marble bust of Mm. Craw
ford, over which we may well suppose his
chisel lingered lovingly with a roluctanco to
leave its work, is a proof of this. Nothing
in ancient or modern art surpasses the ex
quisite elaboration of this work, and tho pa
tient skill with which the drapery
IVi'1 eui,,tHishments are represented.
All Crawford's works which I have
seen, whether historical or ideal, have the
stunp of vitul power. Tho figure seems to
have been arrested at a point of transition be
tween two continuous states of existence. Wa
see many works in marble in which the pro
portions of nature are duly preserved, and tho
forms of life are accurately rendered, but the
spirit of life is not there. They want move
ment and expression, and if changed into
flesh they would be dead bodies and not
living forms. But the statues of Crawford
! ivi-ii.- v, ly ti-cii Jiffi jail xiuiirti.n, Uig
bent productions of Grecian art. Thnbrevst
seems to heave, tho lips to move, the nuttrils
to dilate; tho marble or bron :o is not merely
correct transcript of the human form ail
face, but it is penetrated and informed with
the sonl of humanity.
To comprehend the full measure of Craw
ford's genius, and to learn tho, ex:l rank ha
is entitled to hold as an artist, we must be. ir
in mind the comparatively early ago at which he
died, and the fact that his active professional
life extended over little more than twenty
years. This consideration is particularly im
portant when applied to the art of sculpture,
because of the nature of tho materials in
which it works. A painter may shut himself
Tip m his studio, and with his brushes, paints,
and canvas, all costing hut a row dollars,
produce a work which shall make him immor
tal; but a sculptor of equal merit must wait
much longer for tho opportunity to prove his
power, because of the costliness of his in ite-
nals. I ho marble or bronze in winch a greit
conception is embodied is so expensive tint
untried and unknown hands cannot bo truste I
with it.
A sculptor must show his passport evon
to generous opportunity. He must creep
before he can walk, ho must walk before ho
can fly. By works of lower range and infe
rior scope, he must have given proof of the
ability that is in him, before he can com
mand tho means of t he highest success.
Thus it has rarely happened that a
sculptor receives a commission for a
work of the highest class before tho
nge of thirty-live, nnd Crawford laid down tho
chisel to die at forty-three. All the se ilptors
of modern times with whom he would natu
rally be compnred lived to nn nge much be
yond his. Thorwaldsen died at seventy-three,
Canova at sixty-five, Bartolini at seventy-two,
Bauch at eighty, Dannecker at eighty-threj,
Flaxmanat seventy -one, Chantrey at fifty-nine,
Gibson nt seventy-six, and David nt seventy.
There is not one of these eminent artists who,
at the nge of forty-three, had done as much us
Crawford did, taking tho amount and tho
quality of the work together not one who, if
he had been called from his earthly labors at
thnt nge, would have left so glorious a record
behind. Bcasoning from analogy, and in
view of the fact that nearly all the greatest
works in sculpture have been achieved after
the nrtist had reached the ago of forty, is it
too much to say, that had Crawford lived to
the appointed nge of threescore and ten, and
gone on as he had been going on, he would
have left behind him no equal name im
modern sculpture ?
In his industry, in the amount of whit ho
accomplished, few sculptors can be compared
with him. During his twenty years of pro
fessional life, he finished upwards of sixty
works, many of them colossal, and left about
fifty sketches in plaster, and designs of vari
ous kinds.
From "Three Years as a Negro Minstrel,"
we make these extracts descriptive of the iu
side life on a Mississippi steamboat:
In his social relations a performer, like
many another great man or woman, is liable
to mistakes of head and heart. Tho ladies of
the profession are sometimes given to go wip
and backbiting in as great a degree at least as
are the gentlemen. Jealousy may bo as rife
on a Mississippi show-boat as in the ante
chamber of any court in Europo. I have
known a diiinciixe to furnish boys with clan
destine bouquets to throw on tho staj'e when
she appeared; not that sho cared at all for tho
praise or blamo of the audience, but that she
did care to crush a cleverer rival. I hive
known men, whose names have made somo
noise in the world, to measure with straws the
comparative sizes of the letters in which th'-y
were announced on a poster. In our comp my
on board the Palace nnd the Kaymond we hud
strange contrasts in human nature. It woul 1
happen, for instance, that tho man who
could not sleep without snoring would be
placed in the same state-room with the man
who could not sleep within hearing of the most
distant snore. The man who could not eat
pork was seated at table just opposite the man
who doted on it. We had one gentleman
the fleshy bnss singer already mentioned -who
spent nil his leisure in catching mocking
birds; nnd another who passed his sp.ivo
hours in contriving new and undiseoverable
ways of letting these birds eseiipe from tho
cages. There were on board ladies who had
seen more prosperous days, when they wora
the chief attractions at the theatres of Lon
don, Paris, and New York, according to their
ow n stories; other ladies who hud never asso
ciated with such vulgar people before; other
ladies who hoped they would dio, if they did
not leave tho company at the very
next landing, but never left; and yet
other ladies, I am rejoiced to nil,
who were lovely in nature and deed kind
mothers and faithful wives, whose strength of
character nnd ready cheerfulness tended as
far as possible to restore tho social equili
brium. In the course of the long association
grotesque friendships sprang up. The man
who played the bass-drum was the bo-iom
companion of the man who had charge of the
machine for making tho gas which supplied
the two boats. Tho pretty man of the esta
blishment, he who played the chimes o:i tho
top of the museum nnd the piano in the concert-room
nt present a popular composer at
St. Louis this voung gentleman, who broke
all the hearts of the country girls that came
into the show, was the inseparable friend of
the pilot a great, gruff, warm-hearted fellow,
who steered the Ilaymond from the corners of
his eyes and swore terribly nt snngs. The man
who dusted down Tain O'Shanter nnd the
Twelve Apostles in wax, and had especial caro
of the stuffed birds, giraffes, and alligators, was
on most intimate terms with tho cook. Tho
youngest of the ladies who hoped to dio if
they didn't go ashore at the next landing and
never went or died either for that matter
well, bhe was, or pretended to be, desperately
in love with the treasurer of the company, n
thin, irascible old fellow, with a bald head.
On tho arrival of another dtitnt in tho
company, the two dancers, who were before
deadly enemies, became sworn friends and
confidents united in their jealousy and hat re 1
of the new comer. The lady who was lou lost
in proclaiming that she had never before
associated with such low people as the per
formers on board of these boats seemed to
enjoy herself most, nnd indeed spent most of
her time, in the society of Bridget, the Irish
laundry-woman of the establishment, who on
one occasion, after excessive stimulus, came
very near hanging herself overboard to dry,
instead of a calico dress. As a general thing,
however, the ladies, performers, and crew of
our boats were not so quarrelsome
as I have seen a set of cabin passengers
on a sea voyage between America nnd Europo,
or especially on the three weeks' passage to
or from California. When I consider that
there were bo many of us together in this
narrow compass for nearly a year, it seems to
me strange indeed that there was not more
bad blood excited.
S Madame Olinza was, I believe, the name of
tho Polish lady who walked on a tight-rope
, from the floor of one end of the museum up
Jo tliC ml of Jhe furthest celery, Thjj Jyn.
of perilous ascension nnd suspension was
something new in the eonntry then. It was
before thi time of Blondin, and Madame use !
to produce a great svnsHtion. Now it may be
interesting to the general reader to learn that
this tight-rope walker was one of the most
exemplary, domestic little bodies imaginable.
She and her husband had a large state-room
on tho upper deck of the Ilaymond, and she
wns always there with her child when released
from her public duties. One afternoon the
nurse happened to bring the child into the
museum when Madame Olinza was on tho
rope; and out o f tho vast audience that little
face was recognized by the fond mother, and
her attention so distracted that sho lost her
balance, dropped her pole, ami fell. Catch
ing the ropo with her hands, however, in timo
to break her fall, she escaped fortunately
without the least injury; but, ever after tint,
her child was kept out of tho audieneo while
she was on the rop.
