—Mrs. S. Anderson, whose painting

selected this year by the proprietors of the

—Crepon, one of the most talented of the
pupils of the Pennsylvania Academy, proposes
an early return hither. He has been living
several years in Paris. He has just sent on a
couple of oil-paintings, and several spirited
water-color sketches, executed in that city.
The oil-colors ate genre subjects ; the aquarelles
represent scenes in Japan—a special line of
study with the artist.
—The sculptor Launitz, to whose chisel the
people of Frankford-on-the-Main are indebted
for their Gutenberg monument, died on the
12th inst., alter a tedious illness, at the age of
seventy-four. Launitz was originally a -native
of Courland, but for many years before his
death lie had resided at Frankfort, which he
regarded as the home of his adoption.
—Gibson, the tinted-statue man, relates the
following process of self-intoxication: "When
all my labor was complete," he says, "I often
sat down quietly and alone with my work,
Meditating upon it and, consulting my own
simple feelings. I endeavored to keep myself
free. from self-delusion as to the effects of the
coloring. I said to myself: Here is a little
nearer approach to life ;it is therefore more
impressive ; yes, yes, indeed, she seems an
etherial being, with her blue pey.es Xed upon
me.' At moments I forgotthat - M fi as gazing
at my own production. There I sat , before
her, long and often. How was I ever to part
with her ?"
—Besides the movement for an art-musie in
New York, an interesting proposition has been
started in Boston. A centralized art-gallery is
talked of, to be secured by the united efforts of
the Boston Athenteum, the Institute of
Technology, the Public Library, Harvard
University, and the Social Science AssoetiCon.
Each of the'se institutions, except the last, has
treasures of art which it has no opportunity to
exhibit. The Athenteum has statues, casts,
ppaaintings and Colonel Bigelow Lawrence's col
lection of ancient armor. The Public Library
has an immense collection of engravings.
Harvard, among other treasures, has a collec
tion of engravings, bequeathed by Mr. Gray,
of which an idea may be formed from the
fact that the catalogue of them is a fifteen
dollar book. How soon will Philadelphia,
already possessed of the best nucleus for a
museum in America, follow
--- -A change, important in the arts, is that
separating the Ministry of the Emperor's house
hold from the Ministry of the Fine Arts. In
1867, at the time of the Exposition, our Com
missioner and our artists had to deal with the
Count de Nieuwerkerke. In. 180 the double
position was held by Marshal Valliant, Count
Nieuwerkerke having the office of Senator,
Superintendent of Fine Arts. The latter bears
the blame of having lent the national art
possessions to the Imperial Club and to the
country palaces of the Emperor, without ac
counting for them to the nation. Under the
present division a_vast , outlet for dishonesty is
closed. Marshal Valliant, born in 1790, and
distinguished in N apoleon's Russian Campaign '
and at Waterloo, retains his positiOn as Min
ister of the Household. The new position of
, Minister of Fine Arts has been given to 'Mon
eieur Maurice Richard, one.of the most distin
guished of the newly appointed. He is a man
of fine talents, and a fluent and eloquent de

Jee Jefferson la Court , in Chleaso:
The Chicago journal contains the following :
A bill was filed by Joseph Jefferson against
C. D. Hess and U. H. Crosby, of the Opera-
House in this city, the complaint being based
upon the alleged-4 authorised production by
the defendants, last ember, of the play owned
by complainant, an 1 known ,as Rip ~ Van
The bill of complaint sets forth that com
plainant has ever been and is now a resident of
the United States; and has been for twenty-five
years an actor, and to some extent a dramatic
author. He alleges that for nearly twenty
years there has been in print a play, known
as Rip Van Winkle, and founded upon
Washington Irving's well-known sketch, said
play having become private property, and some
times known as' Hackett's and sometimes as
13urke's version. In 1800, Mr. Jefferson states,
he determined to play the part of " Rip Van
Winkle," when,
not liking the character as it
was represented in the old play, he wrote for
himself a new version, differing widely from
the one then in existence, and, from his own
manuscript, played the part in various parts of
time United States until 1805, without, how
ever, availing himself of the benefit of the
copyright act. During' all this time he devoted
himself to the close study of the character
which he had almost created, and as improve
_ments suggested themselves to his mind,
he froialiiiiiiiTifivie-cbanged-rind-alteretl-big
manuscript. In 1805 complainant believed
be bad made his impersonation of "Rip Van
Winkle" attractive and successful, having
perfected it to his own-pet-a-satisfaction, and,
as he bad reason to 'belive, to that of the pub
lic also. He therefore determined to embody
all the ideas that his study and experience had
taught'him in a new play, and being in Lon
don at the time, engaged Dion L. 13oncicault
to assist him in embodying into language the
dialogues, incidents; ideas, scenes ,and send
yTohfe
R re i s p ult iT o o f n
this con-
Ca e c li t ts w d gis evi th se e d p b re y se h r i i m t ,
Whieb, it is claimed;_differs materially from all
others of the same name, and, indeed, from
the original skiteh'of Washington Irving. The
bill further alleges that on the 20th of August,
18115, before' any public representation of the
piece bad been given, Mr. Jefferson copyrighted
the play in the Southern District of New
York, where he then resided, as co-author and
proprietor.
Complainant charges that the gay thus
made and copyrighted by hi a 0 has
never been published, either by him or by Mr.
Boucicault, or by any other person with their
knowledge or consent; that the character of
"lip Van Winkler as therein represented,
was designed only for him, and not for general
representation upon the stage, and that the
piece was never written for publication.
Mr. Jefferson states that on one occasion
only be licensed any person to present the play,
and that on that occasion the license was
given to a personal friend, but was not acted
upon.
In 1805, after the copyright had been taken
out, complainant produced the play in Lon
don, and afterwards in severai cities of the
United States, where by __re on of his' labor
and study in developing cuilguresenting the
character, he has succeeded igrmaking the play
attractive to the public and remunerative to
himself. All the time he kept the play in'•
manuscript or in separate, detached printed
slips for the use of the actors having parts to
study, said slips always being controlled by,
him. Complainant avers that he has never
given a copy of any one of these to any persOn,
and if any such copy has been obtained by any
one, it has been gained by fraudulent or sur
reptitious means, by the aid of stenography
of its representation, or by the theft of the
parts.
It is further stated in the bill that Mr. Jef
ferson has paid Mr. Boucicault for his interest
in the . production the sum of $15,000, and
that be has always had the' exclusive right
to produce the play which he now claims by
virtue of his copyright, his authorship, his
ownership, and his, common law' proprietary
right.
The bill charges that C. D. Hess & Co. pro--
duced the play above-mentioned ten times at
the Opera House, in this city, without license,
and against complainant's will ; that such pro
duction was not from the memory of the
actors who impersonated the several charac
ters, but from a copy of the play surrepti
tiously obtained. Further, that for the pm
pose of el 's wrongful representation
of corm inant's play, the names of some of
flit ch 'eters were changed upon the play-bill
or prog mine, but that -in the representation
the dialogue of the play was used and the
names of Mr. Jefferson's characters almost en
tirely adopted.
The bill prays for an injunction to prevent
any further representation of the piece without
license,
and that defendants be required to
account for the proceeds of their illegal repre
sentations, or that at least they may be decreed
to pay the-statutory penalty of $lOO for the
first, and $5O for each of the succeeding repre
sentations, as well as to - surrender up , all the
copies of the play they may have.
THE ',PROJECTOR" O CTION ."F "HERCATOWS
',PROJECTOR"
Gerard Mercator.
The inhabitants of the Pays de Wails, on the
principle of better late than never, are exerting
themselves to raise the necessary funds for
erecting a statue to their countryman, Gerard
Mercator, who was born in the little village of
Rupelmonde, near Antwerp, upwards of 350
years ago. It is very probable that the majority
of Englishmen hive never even heard of his
existence, and many of those to whom his
name is familiar from the map called
" Mercator's Projection" are ignorant Of the
hydrographic discovery which made him
famous.
According to a common custom in the fif
teenth centuries, the young student at the Col
lege of Louvain, son of a poor cobbler named
Kremer, of Rupelmonde, latinized his patro
nymic and appeared in the world as Mercator.
His devotion to study was so persistent that he
is said to have frequently forgotten to eat and
sleep. His maps ' and plans, not only drawn
but also engraved by himself, became so re
nowned that they attracted the notice of the
Emperor Charles V., who gave the young,
geographer every encouragement. The success
of Colurobus,had roused the .desires of navi
gators, and numerous expeditions and voyages
of discovery undertaken in the early part of
the sixteenth century had made the occupation
of chart-drawing' a very important one. Yet
the maps and plaus of this age were defective
and inaccurate. ' The lines of longitude,
necessarily represented in curves,
were unsuited to the purposes of
navigation, and pilots drew out charts of their
own whereon the degrees of longitude and lati
tude were represented by perpendicular and
horizontal lines. These were of course incor
rect, as they disregarded the contraction in the
degrees of longitude ; for, in reality, the lines
converge as they approach the poles, although
the lines of latitude tin These
errors were severely felt by sailor nd attracted
the, ttention of Mercator, who a once grap
pled with the difficulty, and by the '4lnpliest
modification removed it.' Having dralvat the
longitudinal degrees perpendicularly, he Com
pensated for the exaggeration in the distances
at the poles by proportionally enlarging the de
grees of latitude. Thus the relative positions
of places were preserved,and the navigator was
enabled to calculate the direction of his voyage
with some amount, of accuracy.
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 8,1.870.
Netwithatanding the .importance of this in
vention, and the value of the map published
by Mercator. in 1569,, and called "Mercator's
Projection," it was not generally used by
!sailors,, and was but little known, for -thirty
yeirslater E. Wright,' an, English, hydrogra
pber, published in London a map,
copied front the-Flemish One, and entitled the
" Correction of Errors m Navigation." Rut hi
'his native country and in Germag; htercater's
'works were renowned, especially his maps 'of
Palestine and Flanders,' the latter having been
corrected entirely from his own 'personal sur
veys Of the country. To an ardent mind like
his the study of geography suggetited innumer
able
,subjects for investigation, andwhile In the
prime of life our map-maker drew up a pro
gramme of the work he intended to undertake.
He considered himself called upon to inquire into.
the formation of the world, thn,disposition of
its various component parts, the positions and
laws of motion of the stars, their nature, and
whether they possessed the inthience attributed
to them by astrologers, the composition of the
elenients, a deacriptiou of the kingdoms of the
world, the genealogies of princes from the
earliest ages, together With the history of peo
ples and their migrations from the first in
habited'countries to the more recently , disco
vered regions. "Such," he mete, "is in effect
the, natural order of, thingS which ; makes us ac-
quainted with causes and origins, and which is
the best guide for enabling tus to': reach true
science and true wisdom." it would
appear, however, that in pursuing
these studies he was led into
the expression of what were termed heterodox
opinions ' and notwithstanding the remon
strance of the cure of Rupelmonde and the
protestations of the Abbe de St. Gertrude, of
the University of Louvain, he was thrown
into prison and subjected to a tedious exami
nation. But the absence of any evidence
against him forced his persecutors to release
andlie made use of his-liberty—by—tran
ferring his residence to Duisbourg, where he
obtained the protection of the Duke of Cleves,
who appointed him his cosmographer. Ile
died in Duisbourg in 1594. A voluminous
biography of Mercator and his works has now
been published by Dr. I. Van Raemdonck,
who is also interested in the erection of the
,statue in Eupelmonde.

Corroaporidence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
Wlnmixt:Tos, Jan. 7.—The City Council
last night made its appropriations for the year
1870. They amount to $245,086. A propo
sition to appropriate 81,00 for the mainten. ,
:Luce of colored schools during the year, was
lost , by • a tie vote, seven Republicans
and two Democrats - voting in
the affirmative, and six Democrats and three
Republicans in the negative. The . Repnblieans
• voting against the appropriation deny the
legality of, such an appropriation.. The col,
ored people of the State are not directly taxed
for school purposes, and the last Legisla
ture refused to allow a tax to be
laid Upon them for their own educa
tion though the colored people petitioned
to be taxed, and the City Council earnestly
urged the matter. The city did appropriate
.$5,000 towards the erection of the school-house
in which the Schools for colored children are
held, the Freedmen's. Bureau furnishing an
equal amount,, and the Delaware Association,
undet the auspices of which the schools are
carried ou, furnished 82.000. Thomas Kimber,
President of the Association, and Bishop Lee,
-one of its officers addressed Council, urging
the granting of the appropriation of $l,OOO.
The Association has raised and spent $50,000
in the education of colored children in this State.
The new railroad continues to be the chiefsub
ject of local interest. Trains run regularly,and
freight and travel over the road slowly in
crease. 1 paSsed over it a few days ago, and
though it is, of course, somewhat rough, having
been built in cold weather, trains make pretty
good time.
There seems to be increased activity in real
estate, and several sales have been made slime
the Ist inst. and thete is a prospect for a pretty
fair demand' for houses during the present
year. Money continues scarce, but the strin
gency is not so great as it, was a mouth or two
ago.
There is some prospect of a renewed agita,
lion in favor of making, one State of the whole
peninsula., The people in Western Maryland
sneer at this as an attempt . of Delaware to
swallow a territory larger than herself. but this
is a misrenresentatio», as the people of the
Eastern Shores of Maryland and Virginia are
even more - favorably disposed towards penin
sular union than those of our own State. The
proposition is so reasonable that it seems cer
tain that it must some day be carried out..
The United States District Court commences
next Tuesday. The important whisky eases
to which allusion has already been made in this
correspondence Will come before it, and the
public looks forward to the session with much
interest.
The recent high tide has left the marshes be
tween this city and the Delaware river flooded,
but it did little damage here. Down at Havre de
4irace, on the Susquehanna river, however, the
thiod was very great, and the loss by it will
amount to many thousands of dollars. Canal
boats were carried over into fields adjoining
the river;tand left standing high and dry on fast
land.

a committee of three to inquire whether "the
h yennsylvania Railroad Company has hereto
fore corruptly procured legislation for its
benefit, and has corruptly interfered in, and
influenced the election of officers to be chosen

The appearance of the Chinese ambassadors
and their attigthis in the Prussian Lower
Chamber created unusual sensation. The
in i nisters,cond ucted by Mr. Burlinganiein com
mon European clothing,took their seats 'in the
front row of the diplomatic loge, and the three
allachis placed themselves immediately behind:
The latter were all dresSed . alike hi'
black satin jackets and blue under
clothes. One of - the ministers appeared
in a blue robe ' over which he . wore . a ,white
satin jacket, while his colleague figured in a
tasteless, yellowish-green long silk garment.
Both of the had caps"trimmed with fur,
but
those of the glue/ex were' of plain black silk.
It
Several of thc\ members of the. Chamber paid
them a visit in the\ ioge,' , and explained to them
in French the distrlbution v of the House, the
'benches of the different pa ties, and other simi
lar matters. The Chinese remained-fully an
hour in the. Chamber. - •
