INTERNATIONAL COINAGE.
The subject of international coinage in attract
ing considerable attention at this time, and
the probabilities are that ere long some
decided effort will be made to bring about
a definite arrangement that will bo mea
surably satisfactory to all parties. That such
changes as are involved in the unification of
the coinnge will create inconvenionoe, espe
cially at first, must be conceded by the most
ardont advocates of the measure, and the
question to be considored is whether the
advantages will be so great that they will
more than counterbalance the disadvantages.
Before any decided action is taken it will be
necessary of course to view the Bubjoct
carofully upon both sides, and in
case some agreement is made between
difforent nations, the change should be
made in such a manner as will create as little
disturbance to existing monetary arrange
tnents as possible. We think that a system
of international coinage is not only eminently
desirable, but that before a great many years
it will be a necessity. The rapid means of
intercommunication at the present day brings
men nearer together, and makes them more
cosmopolitan; and the old and cumbersome
methods of exchange will have to be aban
doned ae stage ooaches and sailing packets
were. The arguments against international
coinage, however, are many and forcible, and
some of them are very fairly stated by Dr.
Lindemian, the late Director of the Mint, in
a letter to Mr. Ilooper, of the Committee of
Coinage, Weights, and Measures of the
House of Representatives.
Dr. Linderman urges that the proposed
alteration of our gold coinage will reduce it
about 3 per cent, in value. This would ne
cessitate an entire recoinage of the present
issue, a reduction in value and a recoinage of
our silver coins, and an entire readjustment
of values in contracts and all mercantile
transactions. This Dr. Linderman contends
could not be done, under the most favorable
ciroumstancea, without injustice and loss to
a great many persons, and a general confu
sion in all monetary matters. lie farther
states that most of our business, in exchange
and in the export of bullion and coin, is with
Great Britain; and that, in view of the fact
that the British. Government has per
sistently refused hitherto to alter its monetary
system, it is unwise and unnecessary for us
to do bo. There is certainly much force in
this objection, and it is of much more im
portance that we should assimilate our
coinage with that of Great Britain than with
any other country. An effort is now being
made to establish the French f rano as the
standard of value, and it is in favor of
this scheme that the f rano has already been
adopted by several nations. The United
States and Great Britain, however, are the
great commercial nations, and in a matter of
this kind their convenience will have to be
consulted in a large degree. Although it pro
fesses to be bo, the French franc is not more
of a scientific measure of value than the Ame
rican dollar or the British pound, and is, there
fore, on its own account entitled to no more
respect. In arranging a system of interna
tional coinage, however, every nation must
expect to yield something, and before any
arrangement is arrived at, some standard of
certain scientific value must be determined
upon. The objection of Dr. Lindorman that
each nation would continue to reckon by its
present unit of account is not one of very
' great moment, and his suggestion of an iden
tical money of account to be agreed upon by
the different nations, with international coin
to represent it, would scarcely work in prac
tice, unless indeed it were understood as
being the first step towards a complete and
perfect system of international coinage.
The time has scarcoly arrived yet for such
a great improvement as an international coin
age to be adopted, but it is proper that the
subject should be discussed in order that its
merits be well understood, and that the
public mind may be prepared for the change
when it shall be decidod upon.
MORE INDIAN TROUBLES.
TnE letter recently written to the Secretary
of the Indian Commission by General San
born, one of the i Peace Commissioners of
1808, throws considerable light upon the com
plicated relations of the Government with
the Western bands of warlike Sioux, and at
the same time exposos the difficulty of main.
taining peaceful relations of any kind with
these tribes. According to General Sanborn's
statement, the hostile Indians, after acqui
escing for ten years in the treaty of 1851, and
receiving during that period all its stipulated
benefits, began a relentless war in IStil be
cause they were originally dissatisfied ' with
the treaty as amended, and determined from
the outset to disregard it as soon as the Gov
eminent ceased to grant large annual annul
ties. This is a fair specimen of the policy of
the savages in all their negotiations. They
keep faith so long as they ate restrained by
interest or compulsion, but not one instant
longer, and when they wage war it is as rob
bers and murderers and not as soldiers. The
alternative suggested is new treaties, which
in torn will only bo made to be broken, or
wars which, according to General Sanborn's
representation, will require the employment
Of from 20,000 to 40,000 soldiers, at an annual
expense of $50,000,000, and all this to keep
in check 12,000 savages. In the midat of
this dilemma great opposition is evinced to
wage- war against the Indians even when war
is acknowledged to be necessary. And the
philosophy of the old treatment of the
Indian question by those who have controlled
t may be summed up in the problem of
ascertaining how the largest sum of money
can be extracted from the national treasury
with the least possible servioe to either the
Bottlers or the aborigines. Indian troubles
of some kind are joyfully hailed by many of
the Western adventurers as a pretext for
large expenditures, and they are never weary
of devising plans whereby these expenditures
may be necessitated. Civilization, as it is
illustrated on the frontier, is necossarily death
to the Indian, and the chief practical differ
ence between his immodiate and gradual de
struction consists in the fact that the latter
costs immense sums of money and many lives
of white men, while the former brings to a
speedy end what is at best a series of revolt
ing crimes. It is time that the nation said
you must" to the savages. It should either
drive them to reservations or kill thorn off as
merciless murderers.
A despatch from San Franoisco brings to
the Atlantio coast the distressing intelligence
that "Mr. Delong, Minister to Japan, threat
ens to resign unless Congress makes that
mission first-class." We blush to confess
that we are ignorant of any remarkable ser
vices which this indispensable diplomatist has
heretofore rendered to the country, and that
we have never heard of the special qualifica
tions he presumably possesses. In our unen
lightened state we would be prompted to
advise Mr. Delong to note the injunction
given in the song to his popular relative, Miss
Lucy Long, and to take time for mature re
flection before he resigns an office that may
be far beyond his deserts. But it may be,
after all, that he is the only man in the coun
try who has thoroughly mastered the art
of Japanning the Japs in good
sty'e, and if this bo indeed
true, what a terrible tax it would be upon his
patriotism to ask him to waste his sweetness
on the land of hari-kari for the paltry com
pensation of JfcwOO per, annum, and outfit,
in gold, when, by a bold stroke, he might
have this compensation increased to $12,000!
The idea of thiB great nation wronging such
an ornamental representative as Delong out
of the extra $4500 is really too dreadful !
We do not wonder that he chafes with indig
nation at the thought, and if Congress does
not instantly bend itself beneath his fearful
threat, we have no right to expect that we can
enjoy the high honor of having this great
man prostrating himself at the feet of the
Tycoon, and in such a dire dilemma what is
to become of the Star-spangled Banner and
Yankee Doodle ?
A cable despatch from Copenhagen states
that General R. Basloff, the Danish Minister
of War, "has tendered his resignation, in
consequence of the failure of the treaty for
the sale of St. Thomas to the United States."
This shocking occurrence would have been
prevented if the American people bad agreed
to pay ten millions of dollars for a rocky little
island that is not worth a tithe of that sum.
If American tax-payers had been made to
writhe a little more sharply than usual, the
gallant leader of the noble army of Denmark
would not have been obliged to bid farewell
to the plumed troop, etc. Some men, in
Basloll s plaoe, might have consoled them
selves under the circumstances with the glo
rious privilege of still ruling the magnificent
domain of St. Thomss, but he had a spirit far
too noble to content himself with such a
gratification, and now the world must sadly
note the disappearance of this great man of
arms, with the consciousness that he retires
from office solely on account of the determi
nation of the American Senate to be merciful
to their constituents.
THE FINK ARTS.
ART GOSSIP.
The determination of the Directors of the Academy
of Fine Arts not to hold a spring exhibition this year
la on many accounts to be regretted, but on the
whole we consider it as an Indication that the institu
tion is preparing to abandon Us do-nothing policy,
and make a fresh atart with the Intention, if pos
sible, of catching up with the age. During a number
of years past the exhibitions of the Academy grew
rapidly worse and worse, and the policy pursued by
the directors more than ever alienated from them
the artists of Philadelphia, nntll last spring the
reBult of the peculiar system of management that
bos characterized the institution was a dead failure.
The exhibition was the worst that had been
given for years. Many of the best native artists
either refused point blank to send their
pictures, or else quietly withheld them, and
the : public showed how little interest they felt
by declining to Invest their funds to see the show. It
was a wise thing, therefore, not to brave criticism
by another poor display which would be chiefly re
markable for the absence of American works ; and,
as during the past winter numerous improvements
have been made in the scnools of the Academy
under the direction of Professor Schussele, we are
disposed to have some hopes for the institution yet.
The fact Is, however, that the Aoademy is established
upon a radically wrong basis; aud It never.can
become such a school of art as will do credit to the
city or country until measures are taken to secure
the active co-operation and sympathy of the artists.
The schools are the strong points of the Academy,
and that the energies of the institution are devoted
to increasing their facilities is a healthy sign.
Scarcely a beginning, however, has yet been made ;
and from present appearances both Boston and
New York are likely to have first-class art institu
tions established in their midst while we are
thinking about It.
Boston already has a great free library that is the
pride of its own citizens aud the envy of others, and
with an energy and appreciation of the Importance
of cultivating a taste for the One arts that arc en
titled to the heartieit commendation, Boston is
about to establish a Museum of the Fine Arts that
will leave both New York and Philadilphla far be
hind In the race unless they make more rapid ad
vances in the way of art culture than they are doing
at present. In this connection the following de
scription of the object, aim, and prospects or this in
stitution, which was Incorporated on February 6,
1S70, may not be uninteresting:
The objects of the Museam of Fine Art are:
First. To make available to the public aud to stu
dents such art collections already exlatlug In the
neighborhood as the proprietors of luuh collections
may see tit to deposit in a suitable building, to be
arrauged for the purpose, under such genera! pro
visions as to the custody aud exhibition thereof as
thall be agreed upon, with the sole view to their
greatest public usefulness, becond. To form in
this way the nucleus of what may hereafter become,
throuKh the liberality of enlightened friends of art.
a representative Museum of the Fine Arts, in all
their branches, aud in all their tachulcal applica
tions. Third. To provide opportunities aud means
for giving Instruction lu drawing, palutiug, model
ling, and designing, with their industrial applica
tion, through lectures, practical schools, and a
special library.
As it is understood that Harvard University, the
Boston Athenwuui, aud other publlo bodies repre
sented In this board, propose to deposit in the Mu
seum the works of art belonging to them, It may be
expected that, when flint opened to the public, it
will contain the following collections:
1. A collection af mediaeval armor, carved furni
ture, and majolica, made bv toe late T. Blgelow
Lawrence, Rq., and bequeathed to the Boston Athe
na'om, Mrs. Lawrence generously proposes to deoo
rate at her own expense the portion of the building
to be devoted to this collection.
8. The precious collection of emrravlngs, hy the
most eminent Italian. Dutch, and Uerman masters,
made by the late Francis C. Oray, Ksq., and devised
by him to the University at Cambridge. This collec
tion Is one which any European city would be proud
to poaseRS.
s. Tho pictures and casta belonging to the Boston
Athenit'ein.
4. Such part of the collection of engravings made
by Cardinal Tostl, and given by T. (. Appleton,
Kxq., to the Boston Fublio Library, as Mr. Appleton
end the Trustees of that Institution may deem it ad
visable to deposit in the museum.
5. hurh works of art as Individuals may reel dis
posed to give to the museum, or to deposit there for
a longer or shorter period.
6. A commencement, at least, of what is Intended
ultimately to become a comprehensive gallery of
reproductions, through plaster casts of the many
treasures of antique and medneval art, and of photo
graphs of original drawings by the most renowned
artists of all periods, now accessible at small cost.
Philadelphia has a better nucleus for a great art
Institution than any city In tho United States, and it
is not to the credit of those who profess to repre
sent the culture and artistic taste of this city that
some energetic steps are not taken to excite a pub
lic interest In this subject and to secure the esta
blishment or an art school and museum that we can
be proud or.
Speaking or the Academy of Fine Arts reminds us
that T. Buchanan Head s picture or "Sheridan's
Hide" still continues to be an attraction there. It Is
visited by crowds or people every day, and the col
lection or the Academy through the instrumentality
or this work has been seen by a greater number or
persons than at any single period since the founda
tion or the institution. As an additional attraction
Mr. Pugh has engaged the distinguished tragedian
T. B. Roberts, Esq., to read the poem which the pic
ture illustrates twice each day during the present
week. The abilities or Mr. Roberts as an elocution
ist are so well known that they need no commenda
tion, and it will add greatly to the Interest or the
picture to hear him read the spirited lines or the
artist-poet.
Among those who visited the Academy for tho
purpose of Inspecting this picture was General Sheri
dan himself, when he was in the city a few days
ago. The General was anxious to see whether Jus
tice had been done him, so he bought his ticket,
walked in, and although the galleries were quite
full or ladles and gentlemen at the time, and the
General passed full fifteen minutes gazing at his
counterfeit presentment, he was not recognized by
a soul In the place until, in passing out, he was in
vited to purchase a chromo, when be astonished the
vendor of those wonderful works of art by saying
that, as tie was the owner of the horse, he would not
invest at present. Then before the astonished
youth could recover his presence or mind Sheridan
had vanished, and was seen in those
regions no more. The laugh in this
case is supposed to be against the artist ; but Mana
ger I'ueh, who is Justly indignant, has taken his re
venge by discharging the ticket seller and the
chromo agent. lie was himself absent at the time
dictating Senator Revels' lecture to his amanuensis,
and he earnestly protests that, had he been present,
such a mishap could not have occurred, but that he
would have played off "Little Phil" as the great card
or the season by engaging him at an enormous
salary to deliver a descriptive lecture and read the
poem twice a day for the next three months an em
ployment which Mr. Pugh rightly thinks would be
much more enjoyable during the warm weather than
hunting the Indians out on the plains. When a man
has a good many irons in the fire, however, some
of them are apt to get hot in the handle, and such
accidents as that related above will happen to the
best regulated managers sometimes.
Among the young Philadelphia artists who have
yet to achieve fame and fortune, but who give pro
mise that ere many years they will do something that
will compel tbe admiration and applause of the pub
lic, may be mentioned the sculptor Howard Roberts.
This gentleman returned about nine months ago
from Paris, where he had been studying for several
years, bringing with him several specimens of his
work that astonished his best friends. One of these
especially, a bust in marble of an Italian peasant
girl, was a charming perlormance, both as regards
conception and execution. During the past winter
Mr. Roberts has been Industriously at work.
In addition to one or two portraits, he has produced
several ideal busts that are distinguished by many
tine qualities of style. One or these, a very beautiful
female head, is now being put in marblo, and it is
hoped that it will ere long be ready for exhibition.
There is something particularly attractive in
the thoughtful expression, and in the finely
modelled but slightly Irregular features of the face
ia this work. It has character, a quality that many
modern performances In this line entirely lack, and
It is at once an agreeable departure from the
severity of the antique and the extravagances in
which many modern scnlptors indulge in works or
this class. The arrangement or the hair and the
lace that Is thrown loosely over the shoulders and
bosom are tasteful and artistic, and whan consi
dered as one of the first efforts of a yoang
artist, the bust is not only excellent
an Itself, but it is entitled to warm praise tor the
promise It holds forth for even better things In the
future. Another work of merit is a female head
crowned with Ivy, and tbe sculptor is now engaged
in modelling a full-length figure of Venus standing
on a shell. This Is not sumelenUy far advanced to
warrant criticism, but the outlines are graceful, and
it looks as though it would be a success. The chief
characteristic or Mr. Roberts' style is refinement,
and this will commend his productions greatly to
those who have taste but perhaps little knowledge or
art- Be is enthusiastic and Industrious, and he has
received bis training in the best schools. From
such an artist much is to be expected.
Mr. P. F. Rothermel Is working with energy on
his great picture or the "Battle of Gettys
burg," and he hopes to complete it within a few
months. This picture will bo a magnificent piece of
color, and it la to be hoped that it will be exten
sively exhibited in this and other cities before it is
finally placed in the State Capitol. At the work Is
yet nnder the artist's hand, the present is not the
time to discuss its merits, and we must therefore
wait patiently until the proper moment arrives for
noticing It a It deserves.
Mr. 1). It. Knight, like many other or our artists,
baa sent all his finished pictures to the New York
exhibition, where we hope that they will receive
proper notice at the bands or the public and critics.
Since the completion or his fine portrait or General
Meade, Mr. Knight has been principally engaged
upon a Shakespearian subject, which he Is elabo
rating with his best skill.
A fine example rrom the easel or Mr. Joseph John,
the late curator or the Academy or Flue Arts, is now
on exhibition at Earles' galleries. It is entitled
"The Guardian Angel," and is at once the largest
and the best picture that this artist has yet pro
duced. Mr. John makes a specialty or this class
or subjects, and his works are distinguished by a
poetical reeling and religious .sentiment that
will recommend them to the public, independently
of their artistic merits. "The Guardian Angel" re
presents a bright-faced little boy walking over a
rocky path In pursuit of some object, while behind
him is the stalely figure or his guardian angel, who
directs his steps and keeps bun rrom the pitfalls that
lie along his path. There Is something exceedingly
spiritual In the appearance of tho angel that calls
to mind some of the exquisite descriptions ol Dante,
Mr. John is a delicate aud poetical rather than i
strong painter, and a want of strength Is the chief
fault of this picture, at least of portions of it. Its
merits, however, are so many aud so great that a
possible dercct like this can easily be overlooked.
Mr. T. J. Fennlmore, whose "Mount Washington"
was one or the attractions or the last Aoademy ex
hlbiton, has now In his studio a number of completed
works which be will' shortly place on exhibition lu
some of the Chesnut street galleries and windows.
This artist paints a class of subjects that certainly
ought to be popular in this city if not elsewhere.
Nearly all the pictures now on bis hands are views
oo the Schuylkill and Wiaaanickoa aud about Fair-
mount Tark, and several ot th.ra are direct tran
script from nature, having beea painted on the
spots they represent Tbere are in the neigh
borhood of this city Innumerable lovely views
that . tempt the artist, and by no one have
these been explored more thoroughly
than by Mr. Fennlmore. This artist received his
edccatlon from nature herself, and he has formed
his stylo by a conscientious endeavor to transfer to
his canvas faithful ooples of exactly what he sees
worthy of notice In his ramble. Mr. Fennimore's
style of coloring has many charming qualities, and
there are few artists who can paint tbe delicate tints
of an afternoon sky better than he. As oaroful
studies of nature In contradistinction to studio
pictures, executed from memory and sketches, the
performances of Mr. Fennlmore are entitled to par
ticular mention.
Most of the artists we have mentioned in this arti
cle are young men who have extensive reputations
still to make. They have all done work that has
won the commendation of Judicious friends of art,
and they ought to receive that encouragement here
that will prevent them from following the example
of some others by abandoning Philadelphia for New
York, or other places where buyers are mere plenty
and more free with their money. The future of art In
this city depends upon young men, and a little Judg
ment and liberality on the part of those who profess to
have an Interest in the matter will go a great ways in
making Philadelphia a desirable place of residence,
f.r artists who rightly think that in the present state
of clllizatlon In this country they have some claims
u pen the regards of tbe wealthy, who have the
means to give a substantial encouragement to their
efforts. Artists, aa a rnle, do not look npon the
accumulation or dollars and cents as the chief end
of existence, and on that account, IT no other, they
should be dealt with by moneyed men In a liberal
spirit, and not be compelled to seek for patrons, and
to haggle over the prices of their works as if they
were groceries and dry goods.
Complimentary. "Whenever," says the New
York Timet, "any important news is received during

to do lt, and pretty certain to do It well."
