THE FINE ARTS.
ART mAt.K.
The taste for works of art of a high character,
"which hr extended beyond a comparatively
narrow circlo In tho United States within a fow
years pant, and become general In all classes of
society, U an important Indication of national
prosperity, and of a disposition to use money
for the gratification of tho finer instincts of
human nature, that arc significant of the fact
that the American people are preparing to take
ttclr stand beside the older nations of the earth
In all those rcflnomonts that mark an advanced
ctate of civilization. We have been too long
accused of being mere utilitarians, and it is cer
tainly time that Americans had learned to spend
their money for works of art, not only for the
pleasure which such works afford, but for the
purpose of stimulating artistic genius. Leaving
every other consideration out of tho question,
however, it is certain that fine pictures do have
a humanizing influence greater in some rospocts
iiMti limn HtftritttirA Anil that. ttr thn rlrt-
V"" coration of homes they are superior
to any other ornaments that money can buy. It
is impossible to estimate the beneficial effects
that a few choice works of art will have upon
the children of a housohold, who grow Bp in
familiar dally acquaintance with them from in
fancy, and it is just the kind of culture that is
most needed at tho present time on this side of
the Atlantic. Our artists need a public that U
able to discriminate in matters of art to stlmu
late them in developing their faculties to the
highest degree, and to supply that appreciative
spirit of criticism without which it is useless to
hope for first-class performances. We mns
have an intelligent, art-loving publl i
before we can have a race of first
class artists. Thoso are considerations that pro
sont themselves to those who are solicitous about
the prosperity of the fino arts in the United
States, but the majority of thoso who have money
to spend on pictures and statuary are chiefly
concerned about making good Investments.
They desire to secure works of reul merit that
they will not become tired of in a few years,
after a familiar acquaintance with them on the
walls of a gallery or drawing-room reveals tholr
defects, but which will rather Increase in attrac
tiveness as time advances. It is certain that no
bettor Investment of mouey can be made than ia
really meritorious pictures. They will Increase
in value with each succeeding year, and under
ordinary circumstances can nearly always be
sold at an advance on the original purchase
money. In the dissemination of art
works, the various public sales that are
held in this city nearly every winter do much
for the promotion of art culture. It is true that
a great number of inferior productions are thus
at times put before the public, but the good that
ia accomplished more than counterbalances the
evil, and picture buyers arc enabled to make
selections and often to purchase works of ex
traordinary merit at comparatively low figures
that would he impracticable under ordinary cir
cumstances. It only needs an ordinary amount
of discrimination and common judgment for
purchasers to avoid having bud pictures forced
upon them at an art sale, and the superior
character of the works offered on these occa
sions proves that the public has learned to dis
criminate. This season there has been au unusual ainouut
of activity among tho fine art dealers, ami a
number of sales have been inaugurated or are In
prospect that will afford excellent opportunities
for picture buyers to secure the performances of
artists of established reputation, whose names
are, to a certain extent, an assurance of excel
lence. No one, however, who really wishes to
adorn his home with paintings that will bo a
perpetual source of enjoyment to himself, his
children, nndfhis friends, should permit himself to
be guided in Ids selections by tho names upon the
canvas, for there are many works of rare merit
offered at art sales executed by men unknown to
fame, or who have failed to achieve that popu
larity that the vagaries of public taste has be
stowed upon some others. All that is required
in cases of this kind is that purchasers should
allow themselves the exercise of an unbiassed
taste to choose what they know they like, or, if
they have no confidence in their own judgment,
to avail themselves of tho experience of some
one whose knowledge of art matters is sufficient
for the formation of a critical opinion.
In connection with what we have said above,
we call the attention of our readers to the col-
lection of oil paintings now on exhibition at No.
i 1120 Cheeuut street, which will be sold this
! evening and to-morrow by Martin Brothers.
I These works are from the galleries of Mr. G.
Felman and Mr. Joseph Richardson. The first
named of these gentlemen is well known as a
picture dealer of taste and experience. His
handsome gallery at Callowhill and Marshall
J streets is a favorite place of resort for art lovers
i in the northern part of the city, and in the col-
.' lection now offored for sale he has some choice
works by French and German artists, popular
in subject, and executed with that technical skill
for which the best European schools are cele
brated. Mr. Richardson is an art connoisseur of
nice discrimination, and his contribution to the
sale, besides a number of original works, includes
copies of the old masters, some of which are of
mucn merit and others which are Interesting as
curiosities.
Among the prominent pictures we notice a
charming puir after Sir Edwin Landsoer, enti
tled "Peace", and "War;" several fancy heads
attributed to Sir Joshuu Reynolds; a curious old
"Allegory of the Creation, with tho four Ele
ments," attributed to Rubens and Breughel;
"Ruins near the River Rhino," by II. Becker,
of Dusseldorf; "Goats," by Von Severdonek;
"A Portrait of Womb well's celebrated Lion
AVallaoe," painted from life by Joseph Richard
eon; "Landscapes, with cattle, dogs," etc., by
II. and C. Shayer; "Coast 8cene," by W. Shayer,
Jr.; "Interior," by F. Btrobel; "The Bword
maker," by Scheeres; "The Poultrywoman of Ant
werp." by Verhoven Bail; "View on the
Ohio," by Hetzel; "Portrait of Andrew Jackson
from life," by C. Wilson Pealo; "Romoo and
Juliet," by C. Iloff; "English Roadside Inn," by
C. and II. Shayer; "Market Scene," by Professor
Jansaens; "View on tho Schuylkill River" jand
"The Sailor's Requiem," by E. Moran, and
great variety of others by eminent European and
American painters, that aflord a large choice.
There are a number of really fine works In this
collection, and an opportunity is afforded for
purchasers to secure at a bargain pictures that
commend themselves in every way to .good
taste, and that will be more highly esteemed the
more they are studied.
Another extensive art sale will take place
during the present month under the auperln
tendence of B. Scott, Jr. Over two hundred
and fifty paintings will be offered on this occa
sion, the original cost of which, we are in
formed, approximates to flOO.OOO. The pic
tures are by some of tho most famous masters of
the day, and tho entire collection has been se
lected with tho greatest care, by a gentleman of
well-known artistic taste, ; In the . studio, of
Europo, and It will represent the highest art
talent of the present day. Rumors of this salo
have already excited much Interest In tliebrensts
of our art oonnoiesevrn, and further particulars
with regard to it are looked for with Impatience.
The information we possess on tho subject, and
which we aro not at liberty to give to the public
at tho present time, Is such that we arc confident
that this will be a rare chance for collectors of
first-class works of art.
7t 23 W-TORKI S r,I S.
from Our Own CorrenponomU
Nbw Yoric, Fob. 3, 1870.
"Th Twelve Trmptntionk."
A bill lies before mo which dazzles mo when
ever I look at it. It is not a tradesman's bill,
nor a doctor's bill, nor a washerwoman's bill,
nor a lodging-house keopcr's bill. It is some
thing more brilliant and Vurl-colored than cither
of theso. It Is the handbill of The Twelve Temp
tation, which is to be produced next Monday
evening at the Grand Opera House. This
document, which is closely printed, , and
is four feet long and a foot and a half
wide, assures me that the "gorgeous spec
tacular legendary romance" of The Twelve
Temptation is founded upon the tradition
of Walpurgls Eve, is produced at a cost of
seventy-five thousand dollars, has been ton
mouths in preparation, and in tho course of its
nightly delineation will present three hundred
performers to the public. It Informs me of the
Christian names and surnames of the parties
variously responsible for the scenery, machinery,
armor, costumes, ornamental foil work, mount
ings, helmets, shields, banners, armorial bear
ings, implements of war, Egyptian trophies,
general paraphernalia, calcium effects, illumi
nations, revolving temples, transformation
scenes, music, and poetry. The legend consists
of four parts and twenty scenes. It ia em
phatically a leg piece in tho most flesh-
tinted sense of that term. And the
moral ia extremely pure. It might with equal
propriety bo callod The Ten Commandments, or
The Seven Deadly Sinn, as 27ie Tioelve Tempta
tions. After having seen logs of every nation
ality, age, sex, and condition of pulchritude
and plumpness, during threo hours of the even
ing, you aro presented with a vision of the
"Homo of tho Blest," a sort of Mahomet's
paradise, whore tho lovers of pretty legs go to
after a life well spent in tho pursuit of femoral
continuations shrouded in ephemeral saucer
skirts. When I add that the entire entertain
ment is got up at the instigation of Mr. James
Fisk, Jr., it will readily bo understood that its
morality Is perfectly unimpeachable, and that
Its tendency will bo to uphold the sanctity of
domestic relations. Indeed, this has been Mr.
Fisk's central Idea to make the Grand Opera
House a place which families may visit without
bringing a blush to the Cheek of the Toung
Person.
By-tbe-by, it is a pity about that Young Person.
Iu New York he is generally supposed to travel
on his check, in jtcad of permitting blushes to
travel there. ,
A private dress rehearsal Is to bo given next
Saturday night, to which about three hundred
people mostly newspaper and theatrical will
bo Invited. As I heard a lady once neatly ex
press it, tho costumes of tho danseuses will be a
"pair of pink stockings up to the waist, and a
ruillc to hldo the garters !"
Chloe I.nnKion In New Vork.
Who has not heard of Chloe Langton, the
happy sufferer, the physically-wretched saint,
who the greater part of her life has been beet
ridden, agonized under a complication of pain
ful diseases? All the most sensitive nerves of
her being have been laid bare for a quarter of a
century beneath tho microscope of suffering,
and thousand of pious sympathizers have gone
to visit her, in her Connecticut home, from
every quarter of the globe.
Well, there is a sort of Chloe Langton here in
Now York. She Is the wife of a brutal Chinese
whose name is Mow-Wcit-Sce, and her home is
in a filthy kennel of Cherry street. Her ap
pearance is Infinitely more repulsive than Chloe
Langtou's is, or ever can be, for in the first
place the scams and ravages of her disease are
external; and, In the second place, her distorted
features have no undcr-meanings of beauty
created by an exalted spiritual life. Her neigh
bors, with the wilful mispronunciation of a
name for which the Celtic nomenclature offers
them but little analogy, call her Mrs. Morrissey.
Inflammatory rheumatism has twisted her head
trunk, and limbs out of the semblance of human
shape. Continual hunger, nakedness, cold,
damp, darkness, filth, and brutality have been
doing their work with her for years. The crown
of her head presents a fissure through which the
bruin can be seen palpitating. Her bosom has
lost every rounded outline of full-fruited woman
hood, and is a coil of twisted knots. Her finger
nails have become claws, and her arms are like
gnarled branches. Her eyes are almost eight-
Ices, and no moment is froo from torture. Add
to this that hor husband treats her with oaths
and brutality, and that for all she gets she
is dependent upon the exertions of her oldest
child, a boy of eleven years, and you have such
picture of human suffering as seems more
congenial to the 6hadcs of hell than to this
bright and beautiful world.
Prince Fair-Star.
Tho circumstances of tho caso warrant me In
applying to Prince Arthur tho name which
Madame d'Auuoy s old French nursery legend
gives to La Frincesse Delle-Eloile, for certainly
tho star under which Arthnr appears to have
been born was a fair and prosperity-promising
one. But perhaps it would be equally proper
for me to call him Le rrince Cheri, for he has
finally succeeded in establishing himself as
Arthur the Beloved among many of the younger
ladies who have had the honor of dining or
dancing with him. Painted Ennui and rouged
Fatigue have smiled naturally and simply for a
little space in his company, and, thanks to the
polished courtesy of Mr. Gi innoll, a ball has
been given at Delmonlco's in honor not of him
self, but of his mother I So the invitation ex
pressly stated, and even his honored and lamented
father was loft out In the cold.
Incipient OenatU.
The crippled newsboys the crutched and one-
legged varlets in the Park. .Donati, I believe, is
the one-legged foreign dancer, whose too Is all
the more "light" and "fantastic'' for its being
only half the quantity of other people's. The
way theso halt gamins play hunkadee on
crutches proves that beings blessed with tho
usual number of tiblas and fibulas never appre
ciate tho capabilities that lie dormant in single
leggednef s. Au Baba.
A Washington correspondent telegraphed to
a Boston paper that, although the company at
the Prince Arthur ball at Washington "was not
the cream of society, thore was a general gather
ing of the good, the great, the gifted, and the
gay." In reading this one may well wonder
what qualities mark the cream of society in
Washington.
