ART ITEMB.
—We hope that a speciality of book-Ulus
nation will bo eetablishedund
Philadelphia. Oar art-schools being incom
parably the most developed in th ° c ° u !sf’
theeducation there conferred ought to find
its reflection in an unusually severe
scholarly excellence about the style
designers. The simple fact is, that though
Philadelphia has diploma’d some of the most
brilliant draughtsmen in the country (George
White, Harry Stephens), yet other cities have
often absorbed them simply because foreign
engravers of excellence, such as the English
men Andrew and Linton, have immigrated to
llew York or Boston. As for the abject
subjection of the pencil to the graver, there is
nb need to enlarge here upon that.
We have with üb, however, at least one
■wood-engraver who can,when he tries, equal
the best of them. Mr. James W. Lauder-
is already favorably known for his
thoroughly artistic interpretations of some of
the’flnest designs issued in America. But he
. has.exceUed himself in the cut intended for
the Hatch number of Lippineoti'a Maga
zine, fthich we believe any, competent and
dißinterested crUic wpuld pronounce about
thebesthatlve magazine illustration yet is
auefli 1 Tie picture (illustr ating the charming
tale fcy Mre. Wister,) is a, garden scene, with
two of BenseU’a grotesque figares of old
fbl&B bubintl some shrubbery,
The : .expressive countenances of the
«idrv 5 said ; the screen of trees which
fbrms # tiie' background, are treated with . rp:,
markable fineness and feeling. Mr. Benseu,
thenttiet, and the publishers also, ought to be
well satisfied with an engraver like Mr. Lau
derlacb,-who kas proved that LippincotCs
Monthly can be exalted among American il
lustrated periodicals without any neceaaity of
seiiateg tb other cities for the minutest por
tion of its work.
Mr: Lauderhacb could not have distin
guißked himself without a fine drawing to
work from. Bensell was never more happy
than in this German Paul Pry and his haggish
companion. The excellence we find in this
draughtsman is that, unlike some,artists who
draw with more fiordture, he never drifts
mto a set of conventional types. Each char
acter is an individual with an idiom.
—■Mr. Whitney has received the large and
important woodland scene n°w for long
time on the eaßelof Mr. William T. Richards.
W 6 do not wonder that the possessor con
siders this picture the star of his newly-ar
ranged gallerv, and is inviting his friends to
special views’ of the treasure. There is per
haps no artist living so competent as Mr.
Richards to work up an elaborate botanical
study of the sort.
—Mr. JJailly’s atelier is being rapidly
cleared of a number of his most important
■works, which are being finished together.
The model of the Young Volunteer, tor Gi
rard College, is being pointed in the work
men’s room. That of the monumental statue
to the late William E. Oresson has been taken
to the foundry of Wood & Perot, to be cast
in bronze by M. Bureau. The colossal
Washington, now receiving the finishing
touches, reigns alone in the huge atelier. Mr.
Bftffehteif (Mlth statue of Grant;
his model will compete, with every chance
ot success, for the choice of the large bronze
to be raised to the President-elect
Tty subscription.
—On the 30th of January Mr. Andrew H.
Green, Comptroller of the Central Park, New
York, signed the letter of acceptance of the
fine bronze of the Indian Hunter, by J. Q. A.
Ward* We are sorry to lose, from among
the. attractions of our own unrivalled Park,
the greatest American statue yet produced.
—At theexhibition now open at the corner
of Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue, N.
Y.,a group of portraits by Elliott, deceased,
is the principal attraction.
—rMr. Hows has produced a painting of
the old mansion ■in Oummington which was
ttebirthplaceof William Cullen Bryant.
—“The Spanish Beggars," by Gust&Vß
Dore, is bn exhibitiorr atr Beavilt, Strebeigh
& Company’s rooms in Clinton Hall, N. Y.
The'old beggar, thinks the Evening Post,
in her squalid poverty, with her wrinkled
face, deformed hands and diabolical expres
sion of greediness, demanded more study and
observation than would have been required
in putting on canvaß half a dozen of the pret
tiest senoritas in Seville. The two children,
also, are most wonderful—infants in years,
yet posßesßing faces that are only a modifica
tion of that of tbe hag under whose elbows
they crouch for protection. Dore has made
even the crutches prominently repulsive, by
placing them at acute angles over the group
- forcing the spectator to look at them, be
cause they are so stiffly and formally intro
duced. There is displayed in this picture an
amount of study and observation of Spanish
beggary—the worst type of such life—that
excites admiration.
—Durand has built a new residence,with a
Btndio, at South Orange, New Jersey, and is
about retiring thither. He thus withdraws
from the ranks of New York artists. He has
recently produced a large picture of a virgin
American forest.
—We recently re published a paper ou the
Apollo Belvidere that had been translated for
Littells Living Age from the German.
Carl Steinhauser, it appeared from that ac
count, claims to have discovered at Home the
head of the original from which the statue of
the Vatican is an inferior copy. The same
paper claimed, on the authority of an antique
bronZe, that the left hand should have been
restored with an iigis, instead of the bow.
The wise men of Germany have been con
sidering these questions. In the January
number of the Berlin Xeistchrift fiir Oym
nasialwesen, is a report of the twenty-sixth
convention of German philologists and peda
gogues last October, at which Prof. Henry
Brunn, of Munich, exhibited two plaster
casts, one of the Apollo and the other of the
head recently found by Steinhauser at Rome,
and confidently supposed to be not only
Apollo, but the original of which the Belvi-
Uere is a copy. Prof. Brunn decides it to be
the head of a young athlete. In regard to the
iegis probably borne in the left hand, he ae
eepts the conclusion afforded by the Ponque
ville-Biraganoff statuette in bronze.
~B elh Cheney, the estimable artist who
oiedmisr.ts, drew portraits oi the size of life,
in crayon, üßing no colors, with extraordi
nary ekul in transferring to the sheet before
him the finest and moßi elevated expression
«f which the countenance of his sitter was
capable. He always wrought with a certain
«eativp : enthuß asm like that of the poet.
His best portraits, at the same time that they
are good likenesses, have something angelic
in their aspect. It is told of Dana, the poet
that after dookipg with wonder at one of
these. the likeness or a lady more
eminent ft»r : , goodness than for beauty, he
Mid: “It Sfl our friend aB she will be at the
insurrection.” Cheney could never bring
himself to receive as sitters those for whom
he did not entertains decided respect, and for
y.-.ir:

tbatieasohdeclinedto take the likenesßea of
certain memdistingulshed in public life. Hal
leck once eat to him, bat the artist round the
frame of mind which he brought to his ta3k
disturbed by the free and sportive manner in
•which his sitter spoke of certain grave mat
ters, and one morning when Halleck came as
usual Cheney said to him: “I have finished
vour likeness.”, “You have been expediti
ous,” said the poet. “Yes,” returned Cheney,
“I put it into the fire this morning.” That
was the last of Halleck’s sitting to Cheney;
but if the poet had not jested so unseasonably
we should probably have had one of Cheney a
finest heads; for Halleck, with hiß beaming
countenance, ■was a capital subject for such
an artist.
: —Burlington House, London, is under
going preparation for the ftiture use. of the
Royal Academy. The building is large
enouLh to afford ample accommodations tor
the schools, library, and offices and galleries.
Of these latter named there will be fourteen,
all of good size, the principal one being or
unusual dimensions. They will he arranged
and used expressly for oil paintings, water
color drawings, architectural designs and en
gravings. The sculpture will be. exhibited
In the centre of the building, and will be
lighted from the cupola. Visitors must pass
through this rotunda in going into the various
galleries. No picture will hereafter be
“floored” or “shied,” and a,space_will be
given around each one, so that they will not,
by Contrast, unfavorably affecteach other, or,
in fact, that the different effects may not kill
each other. At a recent meeting of the
Roval Academy it was decided to extend the
dntv of visiting the schools to the associates
as well as the full members. 1 The library,
which is to be-greatly enlarged, is to be open
everv evenidgTo aU introdueed persons, even
if hot students of the academy. The first cen
tenary exhibition will b%pened in the new
building on the first of May next, and it is
proposed to hold during the year a review ex
hibition of all the academicians and associates
since the year 1768. _

The BuiabSSS has more than once alluded
to Count Waldecb, centenarian, artißt and
antiquary. He sent a picture to the Salon
last spring, and baß exposed either that or
another painting more recently in London.
He is now writing his memoirs,at the jage or*,
103, and appears to have given up all Inten
tion of dying., One day some one alluded to
death: . _ ...
“Do not believe in it,” he said, angling;
“death is a report kept up among the
gossips.”
Princess Clotllde, who.is good and proud,
recently stung the Empress without meaning
it. Clotilde, it will be remembered, belongs
to the antique house of Savoy. .
Eugenie was complaining of the fatigues
Bbe suffered from the receptions at the
Tuileries, and added: ~
“And you, cousin, dear,are you not tired,

The Siecle has been for a couple of years
receiving subscriptions for a publio statue to
Voltaire. The affair has aroused all the bit
terness of the clerical journals, such as Veuil
lot’s Univers, and all the enthusiasm of the
protestants, or, as we would call thenju free
thinkers. . A .
The Siecle now reports that the subscrip
tion, closed in September last, amounted to
SUcle in the death of its tormer proprietor,
M. Havin, has caused a delay in the execu
tion of the scheme. In the meantime the
celebrated bronze-founders,Barbedienne,have
been engaged in preparing the model, an
enlargement of the inimitable sitting figure by
Houdon in the foyer of the Theatre Franyais.
This is now nearly finished, and the Siecle
promises Bhortly to invite the subscribers to
an inspection of the statue in the court of the
Institute. , „ x'
The place fixed upon is at the end
prolongation of the Rue de Rennes, where it
will impinge upon the Institute.
Offenbach. —The Pall Mall makes
a note of Offenbach’s final withdrawal from
legitimate Comic Dpera; he will write as
madly as he can: . \
M. Offenbach has finished a piece \for the
Opera Gomique, and is working at a piece for
the Varietes. Hitherto, in Composing for the
Opera Comique, M. Offenbach has, like the
conscientious American poet, abstained from
writing “as iunny as he can';” but on this oc
casion we are assured by his admirers that he
will have no scruples. The feeling for high
art which prevented M. Offenbach from
achieving any great success with “Robinson
Crusoe,” and with tbe notorious “Barkouf,”
will not be allowed a third time to stand in
his way. He means to do his worst in the
way of humor; and the Opera Comique, the
scene of Gretry’s, Boieldieurs, HerMd'a and
Auber’s triumphs: for which Donlzem wrote
“La Fille du Regiment,” and Meyerbeer
“L'Etoile du Nord” and “Le Pardon du Plo
ermel”— is to be furnished with a true Offen
bacbian extravaganza in the style'' of “La
Belle Heldne” and “La Perichole.” But,
after all, will not the necessary element of
wickedness be wanting if the name of Mdlle.
.Schneider be absent from the cast, as assuredly
itwdl? “Das war kein echtes Parodies,”
wrote Heine on a poet’s description of Eden,
in which the forbidden fruit |was omitted;
and the Opera Comique will be “no true
Paradise” to those fanatical admirers of
Offenbach’s works who admire nothing in
them so much as the grotesque pesfor mances
of Mdlle. Schneider.

[From the Sunday Transcript, Feb. 7.)
; “As to whether a Harrison boiler will explode
is on open question. Its Inventor is particularly
positive on the eubjeot, while others are equally
certain the other way. Now, It is not for us to
B ay that the Harrison bollor will, and wo cer
tainly shaUnot aver that it will not, explode. It
may be proper to add that In December lost there
was an explosion in Drinker’s alley. Now what
was the name ol the exploded holler ? Will Mr.
Harrison please say? Our columns are open for
explanations.”
If the holler in Drinker's alley alluded to Is the
one in Mr. Yocum’s foundry,it Is a Harrison boiler.
In a pamphlet Issued from the Harrison Boiler
Works lor several years past will be found the
following:
Page 21. “ Steam-boilers can no more be made
absolutely secure against some kind of explosion or
fracture than guns or ordnance. Bat thoy should
be and can be made, so that no serious harm can
arise when they do give way. To accomplish
this most Important end, the prevailing system
has been found, after a century of trial, entirely
at fault, and improvementsjmnßt be looted for in
its abandonment.”
Axioms, page 23—1st. That a steam-generator,
oi whatever form or material, mnst, as a para
mount condition, be absolutely secure from,
destructive explosion, even when carelfssly used. '
3d. That its strength Bhould in no respect be
dependent upon any system of stays or maces,
whereby the inefficiency or qf
these braces or stays could in
creased strain upon the others, thwennangering
the whole structure. „
6 th. That a boiler, whether of HpffW or small
dimensions, should such ele
ments of strength, as Would res|tlt*Jt always
capable of safely sustaining many time’B >Tgreater
pressure than need ever be demanded of it in
influences, whichySo soon and so seriously affect
the strength of Ordinary boilers. *
7th. That the parts should be mows ted put
together, that in case of rupture brpny P°|tionof
the teller, no general break up Of the surudture
could ipccur, the release of the pressureAy such
rupture merely causing a discharge of the con
tents, W&hout explosion or serious disturbance
ef any kind.
Page 37—-“ By what has beon adduced it must
be seen that the Harrison Boiler is safe from de
structive explosion. It is not, however, main
tained that It cannot, under excessive pressure,
be burst in some of its parts, or that it might not,
under certain circumstances, do injury, cofiflo

But it is maintained that ulfdt/r nO'tfj'cUPistanceS

This great enterprise Is rap,; ,ly appre.chlng completion.
Xb&Ut (lCoo)Bfx(een hundred miles have boen bullt by
two (3) powerful-companies: tho Union Pacific Railroad,
beginning at Omahai building west, and the Central
Pacific RnUroad, beginning at Sacramento, and building
east, untU the two roads shall tneet Abouttwohundr a
miles remain to be buUt. The greater part of Urn Interval
is now graded, end it Is reasonably expected that the
through connection between San Francisco and Now York
wUI be completed by Juno L '
As the amount of Government eld given to each Is de
pendent npon the length of road 1 each shallbnilS, both
companies are prompted to great efforts to secure the
constrhctiob and control of What, -When completed, will
be one end the only grand Railroad Line connecting the
A tlantie and Pacific coasts.
One Hundred and Twenty Mil Hon DoHars (il30.000.000)
in money have already been expended by the two power
ful companies engaged In tills great enterprise, and they
wUI speedily complete the portion yettohebnilt > l -
Tho Government aid to the Union Pacific Bailroad and
the Central Pacific Bailroad may be briefly summed op
as follows
First—Tho right of way and all necessary timber and
stone from public domain 1
Second—lt makes a donation of 12 fta acres of land to
tho mile, which, when tho road is completed,wlU amount
to twenty-three mUUon (23.COO.OOO) acres.
Third—lt loans tho companies fifty mlUlon dollars
660,000.000), for which It takea a second Hen.
Tho Government has already loaned tho Union-Fertile
Railroad twenty-four mlHJon six hundred and ninety
eight thousand dollare (8St,«9B,000). and to the Central
Pacific Railroad seventeen million nine hundred and
sixty-four thousand dollars (817,966*000). amounting In all
to forty-two million six hundred and sixty-two thousand
dollars ($42,693:000).
The Companies are permitted to Issue their own First
Mortgage Bonds to tho same amount as they receive from
tho United States, and no more. The companies have
sold to permanent investors upwards of (840.000,000) forty
milUen dollars of their First Mortgago Bonds. The com
pantes have already paid in (including net earnings not
divided, grants from Btato of California, and Bacramento
city and Ban Francisco), upwards of ($25,000,000) twenty*
five million dollars ofjcapltal stock.
WHAT IB THERE YET TO BE DONE T
In considering this question it muet be remembered that
all the remaining Iron to finish the road Is contracted for.
and the largest portion paid for and now dcUvered on the
line of the Union Pacific Railroad and the Central Fadfio
Railroad, and that the grading Is almost finished.
WHATJ REBOL/SCEB HAVE THE COMPANIES TO
FINISH THE BEAD f

[Correspondence of the Fhilada, Evening Bulletin.)
Tbektos, Feb. 12.—U. 8, District Court—
Judge Field.—The case of George W. Thorn,
Collector of the Filth District, charged with al
lowing -whisky to be removed from bonded
warehouses without paying the specified tax. In
volving a loss of $lOO,OOO to the government,was
resumed to-day.
This action te brought by the government to
recover from Thorn and- bis sureties the defi
ciency. R- Williams, revenue detective, testified
that he discovered a distillery In Jersey City
which did not conform to the law, owing to a
rectifying and distilling establishment being in
one building. He Informed Thorn of these
facts, and also that he thought the parties were
creeling the building for the purpose of defraud
ing the government:' Williams,with another in
spector, shortly after seized the establishment.
Mr. Thorn then, as Collector, seized it npon the
following morning. Also, that Thorn suggested
compromising the matter with these parlies for
$1,060. The compromise not being accepted,the
case was prosecuted.
On tho cross-examination of this witness ho
was asked what he found out in relation to the
above distillery; be replied that he found out they
were going to cheat- At this the counsel for
the defence took umbrage and said, “He’s too
smart for us” District Attorney—“ And he has
proved too smart for a great many whisky men.”
The Judge ruled that It was a proper answer.
William Richards,from the Commissioner’s office
in Washington, was then placed upon the stand,
and gave a clear and lucid explanation of the
bonded system as It then existed, and the dalles
and requirements of Collectors.
Charles W. Beniamin, U. 8. Deputy Marshal,
testified that the District Attorney had plaoed
summons in hiß bands, for the apprehension of
the parties who signed the fraudulent bouds;
that be called upon Mr. Thorn and asked him If
ho could tell him where the parties lived, or any
thing concerning them, and that Mr. Thom re
plied, he neither knew where they lived,nor any
thing concerning them ; nor did he know how
he came bv those fraudulent bouds.
The District Attorney then offered a largo
amount of documentary evidence, and rested tbe
cose for iho Government. Mr. I. W. Scudder
then opened the case for the defendants in a
warm and earnest speech. In the course of which
he said: “Whisky will be made and will be
drank antil tbe world shuts up shop.”
George W. Thorn was placed UDon the stand,
and testified that ho went into office on the first
of 'November, 1866, and went out on the first of
April, 1867; knew his predecessor, Mr. Wallace,
and his deputy, Mr. Darling; requested Mr. Dar
ling to remain In office with him, but that gen
tleman declined doiDg so; he appointed Mr. Gar
dener as Bonded Clerk, who had charge of the
bonded account; always received the bonds; sup
posed that he looked after tho Burettes and their
eufflciency, as he relied wholly upon him for that
purpose.
He Btated that Mr. Gardener may have said
something to him concerning the fraudulent
bonds several months after he went out of office;
did not recollect ever having seen the fraudulent
bonds beiore yesterday; had no recollection of
any circumstance connected with any of-lhe
bonds. Id reply to a question as to whether he
had retained the clerks of his predecessor, he re
plied that he retained all who desired to stay,
with the exception of two. His predecessor
.having two offices, employed two young ladies
as abstract clerks; these he discharged, as he had
but one office, and did not think youne ladies
suited for it. The Court then adjourned until
Monday morning. ■,
Tho amount ot whisky removed by the opera
tions of these fraudulent bonds was 90,000 gal
lons, at a time when the tax was $2 per gallou,
thus causing a clear loss to the Government of
$lOO,OOO.
Tlio Spanish Cortes.
Madrid, Feb. 12.—At the opening of tho Cor
tes, yesterday, Marshal Serrano said: The na
tions 01 Europe, in attaining a higher dcgreo of
civilization, threw off the traditional bonds which
l'cttcredThe public tnind. Bpain delayed for a
long time following the exnmple of her neigh
bors. She now calls on her representatives to
-construct a now odifico. Revolution has achieved
a bloodless victory. Tho strength of tho nation
has not been impaired, bnt the extravaganco
of foimor administrations has disorganized and
embairaseed its finances. The government re
lies upon the Cortes to remedy this, by
-economical reforms and changes in ad
ministration, by wise legislation in re
gard to 1 tho public debt,- and the payment of
the inturcat thereon, and by economizing the ex
penses of the army and navy. The fundamen
tal principles of radical Liberalism which had
been adopted in relation to religion, tho press
and education, by the Provisional Government,
must now’ be consolidated by tho action of the
Deputies. Onr, revolution here is not rcsponsl-
bio for tbe rising in Cnba; that is doe to the er
rors of past governments. He expressed the hope
that tho insurrection thoro worild bo speedily-ex
tinguished. and that tranquillity, based ‘on re
fomvwould bedurablo. . Ho predicted thgtala
very would bo abolished wlthont precipitation
ana wlthout compromising the prosperity of the
Antilles. In conclusion, ho congratulated the
country on tho good'relations with foreign na
- lions, now more intimate than ever before.
< Madrid, Feb. 12.—At the opening of tho Cortes,
' tbo Marqnls of Santa Cruz presided, and a salute
lot 21 guns was fired. During Marsha) Serrano’s
speech there were vivas for tho Provisional
Government, tor General Prim, and for a republic
and for a monarchy. Tbe confusion was great,
but was finally quelled by Marshal Serrano’s cry
ing viva for the sovereignty ol the Cortes.
5 A grand review of troops was subsequently
held, and the members of the Cortes attended the
Te Deum In the Basilica of our Lady of Atocha. ■
Affairs In Cuba*
Havana, February 12.—A small Spanteh
schooner which hod cleared for New York, was
seized to-day by tho authorities, on suspicion of
having arms and supplies for the rebels on board.
Her eargo was overhauled, but nothlog was
found to confirm the suspicions of the officials.
A mixed commission, appointed by planters
and merchants to raise funds for the government,
have resolved to recommend tho following plan:
The Snanish Bank Is to furnish a loan of
$8,000,000 to the Treasury, of the government,the
govemment to provide for the payment thereof
by imposing a special lax as follows: 50 cents on
eaoh box of sugar Imported; $1 on each load of
unmanufactured tobacco, and 60, cents on every
thousand elgatß: 5 per cent, oh all' import duties
now;paJd, and 25 per cent, additional ou the
taxes how paid by merchants and mahufac
tnrers.
The Dxario admits that tbe revolutionists hold
possession of the entire Puerto Principe district,
except tho city proper. " Several secret deposits
of arms have been discovered at Cardenas.
No definite Dews of tho state of affairs in tbe
Central Department is received either through
governmental -or other channels. It is known,
however, that the rebels have made the town' of
Menlcaragua their rallying point. Arrests of
suspected parties continue to be made. Several
Americans and other foreigners are among those
now in custody. Thomas Terry, tho wealthiest
merchant in the Island, was arrested, but subse
quently released. It Is reported that he offered
to Captain-General Dolce his entire possessions
to aid tbe government in snppresalng the revolu
tion. Prominent Cubans continnc to emigrate
from the island in large numbers. A portion of
the insurgents in the District of Cienfuegos are
marching towards Hawai Graade, In Colon Dis

A STAR
SPRING,
SARATOGA, NEW YORK
The analysis proves that the waters of the
SARATOGA STAR SPRINGS
have a much larger amount of solid substance, richer in
medical ingredients than any other spring in Saratoga,
md shows what the taste indicates—namely, that it is the
STRONGEST 'WATER.
It also demonstrates that thb STAR WATER contains
about
100 Cabio Inches More of Gas
m agallon than any other spring. It la this extra amount
of gu that imparts to this water its peculiarly sparkling
appearance, and renders it so very agreeable to the taste
,ll also tends to preserve the delicious flavor of the water
when bottled, and causes it to uncork with an eflerves
once almost equal to Champagne.
Sold by the leading Druggists and Hotels through
•ml the country.
