ARP ITEMS. • rt. Prtuch art.'s beginning to enter the areni of theologioal discussion. ,free -thinking artist, M. Chenavard, had sent to the Paris Salon a pletttire representing the end of the Religions. ,It was entitled the "Divine Tragedy," and had been hung in the princi pal hall, 1.1131, ',.`august piety" (possibly tun Empress) happening to visit the Palace of Industry, was sinio . ked at*the bight of Mb pic ture, and demanded its remoVal, which was .effected: Infidel art may complain that it has not had a fair chance even in the land of Voltaire. In 1848 this same Chenavard was employed to deodiate the Pantheon, that huge temple dedicated, not to a saint, but to the Grand Men of France. He worked three years at painting on the interior the apotheosis of phi losophy. The coup d'etat occurred, Pratibe became most Christian once more the Pan theon was made the Church of Sainte-Gene vieve'and all the labor of Chanivard was ob literated by a stroke of the prioceo-presinent's pen. In 1831 Chenavard represented the Conven tion, with Philippe Egalito conversing with his colleagnes the representatives. Before the picture,evechad . the chance of at&acting public' sulks*, Louis-Philippe saw it, when visiting the Salon two days before the open ing; finding it distasteful to see his father among the judges of Louis XVI. he had the painter's work removed. A VALUABLE PORTBAIt OF WABIIINGTON. A valuable old, picture, precious on account of ita,,intrbniic merit . as a . wqrk of . art, and from' the intinF 'hiistoric assoziatibne con nected with' it,' is now for hale in Boston. ft is a portrait of Washington, by Btuart,painted at the request of General Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, tine' of 'Washington's aids in the War of the Revolution. For fifty years it hung. in Qeperal Pinckney's drawing room in Charleston. When the great fire of 1861 des troye4 ab rinch of that city, the picture was fortunetelysaved, and afterwards removed to Pendleton, 8. C., where it escaped the dangerti:of war; it has now been, sent North for sep. Application may be made to Arthur G. Bedgwick, 39 Court street, Boston. The portrait, we understand, is mentioned in Charles Fraser's "Reminiscences of Charles ton." We call attention, with pleasure, to the following suggestive article from thrk'ifortia American : The fact is that Philadelphia has become one of the beet markets in the world for works of art, and this is now so well known that artists in all the leading art centres of Europe and America send their pictures hillier, on a venture, for exhibition, in order to fled purchasers. The difference between our artists and ,those of Europe is just this. In Europe the residence of the artist is not a Matter of any moment. His markets are eveftiehere. If he resides in Dusseldorf he doekliot expect to find all his customers there& He knows better, and therefore sends his pictures to Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Lon don, Manchester, Liverpool, Amsterdam, New York, Philadelphia and other markets. An artist residing in this city, on the other hand, expects to sell all his works here, and in order to do this he wants our galleries closed against foreign artists. We submit that this is nonsense. Phila delphia has become a great art market, and artists residing everywhere else than in Phil adelphia know it and send their works here accordingly. Ofir manufacturers are now shipping their productions to foreign markets. Why, should not our artists do likewise? Works that are really meritorious would be as sure to find purchasers in other markets as at home, and besides, if our artists while re siding )sere could be able to find a market abroargthe effect upon the sale of their woks at home would be immediate and important. A great deal of our money goes to Europe to pay for foreign pictures and statues, and as these works are mostly admirable we do not regret it; but if our own artists were to make for themselves a foreign market we should bring home as much money for them as we ship abroad to pay foreign artists. As for building up art in Philadelphia by any exclusive devotion to home artists, we are satisfied it is an error. The beet way to reach that object is to make Philadelphia an increasing market for works of art, and com petition will do the rest. Every picture or statue, good, bad or indifferent, sold here is so much contributed to build up the art market of this City. We must not expect only to d a business in rare and valuable works, for the prices of such are far too high for ordinary buyers, and the amount of money spent for ordinary works so far transcends all given for better things that there is really no compari son between them. Where one man gives two thohsand dollars for a good picture or statue, there are masses of people who spend ten thousand dollars for inferior works that satisfy them just as well. The point to which we wish to attract at tention is that the more of these ordinary works there are sold in Philadelphia the bet ter the market beeomes for more valuable things. Our American people advance in their tastes more rapidly than other people because they are better educated and more intelligent. It ie a notable fact that our resi dent artists get much better prices now for their works than they did before the impor tation of foreign works was carried on upon so large a scale. If we had more auction sales of pictures and sculpture than we have, so far from in juring the business of the home artists it would be benefited thereby. Already we find our American artists putting their pro ductions into these collections, to be sold, with the foreign importations, under the hammer. Cities like Philadelphia are the art markets of a great region of country, and every family in the interior having the means to spare for the purpose spends money hero to some extent for these ornamental works Every auction sale of pictures or sculpture draws its share of buyers from-a distance. Every art exhibition.. about which there is so much said does the same. It is our business to keep our market supplied with as full and as varied an, assortment of works of art as possible, in order to satisfy all tastes. We must not patronize any particular school or set or class of works to such an extent as to give a predominant tone to the market, since the inevitable effect of that must be to drive away buyers who do not lean in that direc tion. It would be well if all interested in art in Philadelphia were to bear these things in mind. —One of the female clerks recently dismissed from the Treasury Department nailed there to 'scertain it the demand of a Congressman that she should be retistated would be etweessful.

The Committee on Property reported resolu tions authorizing the renting of a building on Second street, above Callowhill, fOr the accom modation of the school on Third street, below Green, and asking City COunclis tb purchase a lot at Hancock and Cumberland streets, at $3 30 per foot, and a lot on Attends street, at $8 25 per foot. Adopted. The Committee on Girls' Normal School re commended `the confirmation of Miss R. H. Bennett as a teacher in that school. Agreed W. The Cornmittee on Grammar, Secondary and Primary Schools reported a resolution declaring it inexpedient to establish a new secondary school in the Second Section- Adopted. The same committee reported a resolution con firming teachers elected by the different sectional boards. Adopted. The sameCoMmittee reported, without amend incur, the proposed rule providing that no pupil shall be admitted from one school to another without a transfer signed by the Visiting Com mittee of the school ' from which the transfer is made; that no pripil in good standing shall be re fused a transfer to a sehooltearest his or herresi deuce; and that the supplies 'of any school violating this rule' shall be stopped. After some discussion the new rule was adopted. Mr. Wakeling offered a resolution directing that Martindale's School History of the United States be placed upon the list of text books. After a long discussion the resolution was re ferred to the Committee on Text Books. The Committee on Revision of Studies,through Mr. Armstrong, chairman, made a report on the snhji et of music in_the public schools. The re port states that after two adverti.ements, thirty nine ladies presented themselves for examination. The examination was conducted by Jean Louis and Dr. L. D. Meignen. Of the applicants nineteen were found to be qualified, and four teen were selected as teachers. The committee recommended that Jean Louis be appointed superintendent of.teaching of vocal music in the public schools, at a salary of $1,200 per annum. The committee recommended the confirmation of the following ladies as teachers : Miss M. B. Smith, Miss Kate H. Chandler Miss Henrietta C. Filton, Miss Fannie Beim, Miss Georgianna B. Higgins, Miss M. E. Heyl, Miss Mary Simpson, Mies Jane Porter, Mrs. A. T. Sergeant, Mrs. Jane K. Goodman, Miss Kate F. Hollingsworth, Miss Mary B. McFadden, Miss Mary E. Goodno and Mrs. Swift. It was recommended that certificates of quail- Ileation as teachers of music be awarded to the above named ladies, and also to the following: Mies E. A. Weaks, Miss Ida Smith, Miss Alice M. Gordon, Miss S. J. Rosenwig, Miss M. Bell. Mr. Wetherill moved to recommit the report. There had been nothing said in the original re port about the employment of a male superiv• tendent. If these fourteen ladies have been fciuthl., fully competent to teach music in the schools; there is no use for a superintendent. The appro priation of $6,000 by Councils is small, and it 4'1,200 are appropriated for a superintendent who ought to be entirely unnecessary, some other items will have to be struck out. Mr. Steinmetz explained that Mr. Louts:took a deep interest in the subject. He proposed two lessons, of two hours each per week, to the teachers, to write up a programme for the gen eral system of studies, and to visit the schools and "inspect the pupils." He also proposed to go into the primary schools and leach without compensation. After eonsiderable, debate the motion to re commit was agreed to—yeas 14, nays H. Mr. Armstrong then moved to discharge thy• Committee on Revision of Studies from the fur ther consideration of the subject. He consid ered the action of the Board a censure of the Committee. The motion was disagreed to. Mr. Mcßride, on behalf of the Committee on Revision of Studies, then reported a resolution confirming the appointment of the fourteen la dies named above, as teachers. Mr. Green moved to lay this report upon the table. Agreed to—yeas, 14; nays, 13. Mr. Hickok moved a reconsideration of the vole by which the report was laid on the table. This was done, and the first resolution of the committee, recommending the confirmation of the fourteen ladies selected as vocal teachers,was agreed to. The second resolution, appointing Mr. Jean Louis as snperintendent,was called up. Mr. Green moved to substitute the name of Prof. John Bowers. This was not agreed to,and the original resolution then passed. The resolution according to Mr. Louis the use of the Normal School for the purpose of ful filling the duties of his office was passed. Adjourned. • THE PHILADELPHIA FOUNTAIN SOCIETY.—Dr. W. C. Swann, President of the Philadelphia Fountain Society, has issued the following cir cular: Ta the Subscribers and Friends of the Society: Remarks and criticisms having been made front time to time upon the fountains which have been erected by the Philadelphia Fountain Society, I beg leave to state that every effort has been made, and will continue to be made, on the part of the officers, to render their fountains as they are Ju n laded to be, useful and ornamental to the city. The funds in the hands of the Treasurer at IL: present time do not authorize an expenditure of their means in ornamentation, which would only prevent their extension and contract the line of their usefulness, but they hope in time, as their übscribers' and donations increase, to exercise more taste, and make _their fountains not only a blessing to all, but an ornament to the city of Philadelphia. At the present stage of their organization, and the limited means at their disposal, the officers can only hope to provide water in the streets for both man and beast—the malt object of their care and solicitude. The model which has beau adopted is plain and substantial, and as well adapted for the purposes intended as any to be found in other parts of the world,and our friends should consider that where usefulness is the chief object, architectural beauty becomes a secondary consideration. The objection made to the foam sometimes re maining in the horse-trough opposite Seventh and Walnut streets, from there being no overflow to carry it off, is natural and just, a defect [hilt has not escaped the vigilance of the rountaiu Committee, and which has been corrected in the construction of,tho fountain in Chestnut, above Fifth. Thu necessity of avoiding the waste of water has lipited the supply at the fountains, which othefwise might be a serious objection to the Water Department, in the large number of fountains proposed to be erected by the society. With these explanations I hope that a liberal feeling will be extended to the humane purposes of the Society, and every encouragement given to make our city deserving of the name of the City of Ppuntains. Jawisn Fonss Hons.—The fourteenth anni versary of the Jewish Foster Home took place yesterday afternoon.

Our foun dries and manufactories are also driven to their utmost capacity, and the general thrift and ac tivity in all departments of business presents a scene never before witnessed in Camden.

Bixth street. ap2l w 81' DittiCTOß Manager :..MR. JOHN BROUGHAM Proprietore Mlb'S ASPHYXIA. AND- HER ADOPIEDI liars. Stowe's novel of "Oldtawir Folks": will make its appearance on Saturday. We make the following - extract from the advance. sheets. Miss Asphyxia Smith (a name for an old maid ter-, voich = we believe Hawthorne t should havelhe &edit) hid taken an orphan ; child seven years old, "to raise, for help:" Miss Asphyxia was tall and spare. Nature I. had made her, as she often remarked of her self, enVrely for *Q..' She ,had -alio wed for her muscles no cushioned repose of fat, no redundant smoothness of outline. There was nothing to her' but gokid; Strong, solid bone, and tough, wiry, well-strung muscle. She was past DIV, arid her hair was' already well streaked with gray, and so thin that, when tightly combed and tied, it still showed bald c.acks, not very sightly to the eye. The only thought that Miss Asphyxia ever. hal had in relation' to the coiffure of her hair was that it was to be got out of her way. Hair she considered principally as something that might get into people's eyes, if not properly attended to; and accordingly, at a very early hour every morning, she tied all heri in a very tight knot, and then secured it by a horn comb on the top of her head. To clie3his knot so tightly that, once done, It should last all day, was Miss Asphyxia's only art, of the toilet,and she tried her work every morning by giving her head a shako; Before, she left. her looking-glass, not unlike that of, an unruly cow. If this proceso did not start the horn comb from its moorings, Miss Asphyxia was well pleased. For the rest,her face was duaky ami wilted,—guarded by gaunt, high 'cheek bones, and watched over by a. pair of Small gay eye§ or unsleeping vigilance. The shaggy eyebraws that overhung them were grizzled,.like her hair. , It,Would net be proper to say that Miss Asphyxia: looked, ill-tempered; but her features could never, by any .stretch of im agination, be suppoied.to wear au expression of tenderness. They were set in an austere, grim gravity, whose,lines had become more deeply channelled by every year of her life. As related to her fellow-creatures, she was neither dispassionate nor cruel. We have before described her as a working machine, forever wound up to high-pressure working point; and this being her nature, she trod down and crushed whatever stood in the way of her work, who as little componeti )n as if she had been a steam-engine or a power loom. .7 1 Bliss Asphyxia had a full conviction of what a recent pleasant writer has denorni natcd the total depravity of matter. like was not given to many winds, but it might often be gathered from her brief discourses that she bad always felt nerself, so to speak, sword in hand against a universe where everything was running to disorder,—everything was tending to slackness, shiftlessness, unthrift, and she alone was left on the earth to keep things in their places. Her hired men were always too late up in the morning,—always shirking,—al ways taking too long a nap at noon; everybody was whtching to cheat her in every bargain; her horse, cow, pigs,—all her possessions,—were ready at the slightest winking of her eye,or relaxing of her watch, to fall into all sorts of untoward ways and gyrations; and therefore she slept, as it were, in her armor, and spent her life as a sentinel on duty. In taking a child,she had had her eyes open only to one/ patent fact—that a child was an animal who would always be watt* to play, and thatfilie must make all her plans and cal culations to keep her from playing. To this end she had beforehand given out word.to her brother, that, if she took the girl, the boy mug be kept away. "Got enough on my hands now, without havin' a boy train in' round my house, and upsettin' all creation," said the grim virgin. "Wal, wal," said old Crab, "'taint best; they'll be a consultin' together, and cuttin' up didos. keep the boy tight enough, I tell you." Little enough was the dinner that the child ate that day. There were two hulkingoiquare shouldered men at the table, who stared at h'i with great round eyes like oxen; and so, though Miss Asphyxia dumped down Indian pudding, ham and tried potatoes before her, the child's eating was scarcely that of a blackbird. Marvellous to the little girl was the celerity with which Miss Asphyxia washed and cleared up the dinner dishes. How Mae dishes rattled, the knives and forks clinked, as she scraped and piled and washed and wiped,and put everything in a trice into such perfect place, that it looked as if nothing had ever been done on the premises ! After this Miss Asphyxia produced thimble, thread, needle and scissors, and, drawing out of a closet a bale of coarse blue home-made cloth, proceeded to measure the little girl for a petticoat and short gown of the same. This being done to her mind, she dumped her into a chair beside her, and, putting a brown ,towel into her hands to be hemmed, she briefly said, "There, keep to work;" while she, with great despatch and resolution, set to work on the little garments aforesaid. The child once or twice laid dawn her work to watch the chickens who came up round the door, or to note a bird wnich flew by with a little ripple of song. The first time, Miss Asphyxia only frowned and said, "Tut, tut." The second time, there, came three thumps of„Miss Asphyxia's thimble down on the little head, with the admonition, "Mind your work." The child now began to cry, but Miss Asphyxia soon put an end to that by displaying a long birch rod, with a threaten - tug movement, and saying, succinctly, "Stop that, this minute, or I'll whip you." And the child was so certain of this that she swallowed her grief and stitched away as fast as her little fingers could go. ' As soon as supper was over that night, Miss Asphyxia seized upon the child, and, taking her to a tub in the sinit•room, pro ceeded to divest her of her garments and subject her to a most thorough ablution. "I'm going to give you one good scrubbin' to start with," said Miss Asphyxia; and, truth to say, no word could more thoroughly ex press the character of the ablution than the term "scrubbing." The poor child was deluged with soap and water, in mouth,nose, ears and eyes, while the great bony hands rubbed and splatited, twisted her arms,turned her ears wrong aide out, and dashed on the water with unsparing vigor. Nobody can tell the torture which cau. -tie inflicted on a child In one of these vigorous old New Eng land washings, which used to make Saturday night a terror, in good families. But what ever they were, the little martyr was by this time so thoroughly impressed with the awful reality of Miss Asphyxia's power over her, that she endured all with only a few long drawn and convulsed sighs, and an inaudible "0 dear!" 'When well Scrubbed and wipda, Miss Asphyxia put on a coarse homespun night-- gown, and, pinning a cloth round the child's neck, bean with her scissors the work of cutting off her hair. Snip, snip, went the fatal shears, and down into the towel fell bright, curls, once the pride of a mother's heart,illl finally the Small head was despoiled completely,, Then_ Miss_ Asphyxia, shaking,,, up a bdttle "Of camphor', _proceeded to rub some vigorously upon the child's head.

The child immediately obeyed, thankful to hide herself under the protecting folds of a blue checked coverlet, and feeling that at last the dreadful Miss Asphyxia would leave her to herself.

Another Please or the Woman Qrtes• lion. The proceedings of the recent Working Women's Convention in Boston have at tracted attention all over the' country, and i c r lic,ited, comments not at ail favorable ,to B)8- :ton or ita philanthropy.. Democratic , sheets in particular-have , caught np the statements of Dr , LeWis t the'Presidentpf the ,C vender), it - trd ate''using them to'the glorifica tion of more Democratic localities, and to belabor what they delight in calling the Puritanism and cold-heartedneas of' Repub lican Massachusetts. At that Convention Dr. Lewis said that there were in Boston 20,000 women who worked for starvation wages, 8,000 of whom received less than twenty-five cents a day, and 10,000 less than fifty cents a day. Work for even such a miserable pittance was irregular and difficult to be obtained. Sometimes the poor seam stresses lived on a single cracker a day and sometirnea then:aid for a' wretched dinner end went without a breakfast or supper. Girls who run sewing machines average only $2 .50 per week, out of which they have to 1. ay for board and clothing. In from one and a halt to two years their backs give out and ihey are discharged "pretty well spAlel, - and are never good for much afterwards. These creatures of toil sleep huddled together by dozens in filthy garrets, and shiver in is sufficient clothing all winter. This certainly is not a cheerful picture, but it is one that can be painted of every age and almost every, country. Here, however, there is less excuse for such a state of things than elsewhere. Even in Boston, with its thou sacds of struggling women, who, the reform, era tell us, are stitching themselves into eter Lily for twenty-five cents a day, there is a cry for laborers which is heard and answered from acrr ES the sea. While ten thousand American women are starving, 'here are in Boston nro 'bably ten thousand f 'reign women who have a good home, are warmly and tastefully clothed, and have money laid up. Many of these women are incompetent, ignorant, and personally disagreeable, whom their employers would not keep a day if they could find any better persons to take their places. There is probably not a family in the city who would not prefer a neat intelligent American girl in the kitchen or nursery to those of other na tionalities. but they are not obtainable, even at three times the wages. Ask one of the sewing girls who detail to the reformers the hardships they undergo in the a frort to keep from starvation or a life of shame,to do the housework for a small family, or to take care of the children of some physi cally weak or invalid mother, for good wages and a ecralortable,home, and an emphatic re fusal will b: your answer. They can make shirts at four cents apiece, but they cannot do housework. Clad in un presentable garments, they can beg for work at the manufacturer's coun'er, but they cannot enter a comfortable hums as a servant. They can see death and shame staring them in tne face, but they can never condescend to be nursery maids. Hard hearted, cruel men, who see a delicate wife, in whom is centred all their love, who is the ofiect of their tenderest solicitude, dragging het set fto death because she can find no one to whom she dares intrust her darlings, or who will take from her the care of her house, at any price, almost, for the service,may turn a deaf ear to these-touching tales of woe.— J\ortuich NEVI STOWt'S NEW NOVEL Wid be Published Hay 151 b,.
