SE,T ITEMS.
In the Island of Murano, the seat of the
ancient inanufaeture of glais, there has been ,
held this last autumn ' a praiseworthy .exhibi
lion, with the purpOse of reviling that essen
tially national industry.
Layard; . on leaving London for
Madrid, placed on View in 'one of the corridors
overlooking the Ilorticatuml Gardens, Ken
sington, his interesting collection - of Italian
paintings. It is rich in works of the Vene
tian and Lombard schools immediately prece&
jug Thiall'a time,
fine Copies made 'by photographers Of
splendid modern letigrayings --- do a -serious.
damage to the success of the latter. A great,
modern work,—the , copying of Corregate'S
Parma frescoes by being shame.
Inlly . pirated by photographers, and in Parma
itself. A subscriber made complaint to . the
secretary that a costly publication should thus
be cheapened and rendered common. In re.,
„ply, he teceived an assurance 'that the abuse
'
had not escaped the observation of the an
thorities, and that a more efficient law of copy
right Might be passed and enforced.
—At tilt:Royal Academy, LOndon, is now
opened a highly interesting borrowed gallery of
232 pictures by the old and dead masters.
Among the principal contributors are the ,
queen, the Marquis of Bute, the Marquis of
Westminster, and Lord Leconfield, the last
sending works by Leslie. Also among the
contributors are the well-known names of
Lady Eastlake, Mr. Thomas Baring, Mr. Rus
kin, Mr. Gillett, Mr. Pender,. and Mr. Henry
Huth—tbe last lends Holbein's grand portrait
of Sir Thomas More, once exhibited at Ken
sington. Works exhibited are a Holy Family,
by Michael Angelo, a replica 'of the Louvre
Vicrye ma Rockers, by Leonardo,and a copy,
by that master's pupil Marco d'Oggione, of the
Last Supper, Reynold's " Tragic Muse," and
Gainsborough's "Blue Boy."
—'lhe report of the meeting held by the
Art Committee of the Union League Club, on
the 2sd :November last, is furnishedus by the
kindness-of a member, Mr. S. P. Avery. The
'meeting was held to promote the formation of
a ,gieat art-museum. Among the addressee
that of Prof. Comfort was especially well-con
sidered and practical. He pointed out that the
present time is a sort of crisis;' that private
art collections in Europe are being very rapidly
absorbed by public museums, which. will never
let, them escape again, and thus most valuable
opportunities for securing important and
unique works of ancient and modern art are
passing away, perhaps forever.
Prof. Comfort likewise indicated, as an en
couraging example, that the largest museum
extant has been collected entirely within the
laSt fifty, years; It is that of Berlin, and is; cele
.brated for its historical series of , sculpture,
exhibited in the
,most complete collection of
casts in the world. This immense statue
pllery cost but a sum equivalent to 300,000
dollars of oirr currency, and the set could be
.duplicated.and sent to us to-day for a far less
amount.
—Speaking of casts from the antique, the
..Nutiondast week had some very just strictures
on the contempt with which they are regarded
by rather intelligent spectators who plume
themselves on having seen the original mar
bles. 'True, about the antique statue there is
a glamOur, an adventurous sense of time's buf-•
fetings and history's revenges"; but in the pure
way of art, the east is a better work than a re
stored antique, with its patches of divers tints,
its conspicuous seams around the _patches, its
nose ef.a different degree of polish or translu
cency from the face, and all the obvious dis
crepancies between the ruin and its continua
tions.. The plaster, though of inferior beauty
to the half-transparent marblejs homogeneous,
. and represents the pure form divested of acci
dents.--One consideration the _Nation did not
End occasion to state. A polished marble sur
face always seems to " sink in;' that is, a fea
ture in marble seems narrower than the same
shape in chalk, and the limbs of the Apollo art
' pear much more slender than those of the plas
ter cast of precisely the same dimensions.
—The San Donato collection of Florence,
Worth ten million francs, will be sold in Paris
between the."2lst of February and the 28th
April. We are indebted to Mr. Avery, like
wise, for a translationof the preface to the
catalogue, width contains some interesting de
tails, and was furnished him by the experts,
Messrs. Petit & Mannheim ; in advance of the
publication at Paris of the list, which will not
be issued in time to allow of its receipt here
much before the beginning of the sales. The
Collections of San Donato are composed of
pictures of the ancient and modern schOols,
drawings, . sculptures, works of art,
furniture and curiosities of every epoch,
which will be sold in a series of ten
entirely distinct sales, in a special ball, No. 26
Boulevard des Italiens, at dates carefuliyindi
cated in each catalogue. " What traveler (says
writerin the Paris Chri9niqus) in passing by
Florence has not desired to.visit the Celebrated
villa of San-Donato,. to which the beautiful
promenade of Cascino leads. But not every
one may penetrate who wishes; closed to com
mon-place curiosity, it opens its doors mean
while to all the true virtuosos who have made
a great and- legitimate reputation the innu
merable chefs d'aurre which it contains. Who
has not heard enthusiastic reports- of its pic
tures statues,precious furniture, arms, crystals,
porcelains, enamels otlevrerie objects of art.and
curiosities of all sorts . ? Ali, well all these
riches without number are to be sold this
winter in Paris, and to be dispersed, we have
the assurance, under the hammer of M. Fillet,
assisted by 11M. Petit and Mannheim, who
direct this sale,the most extraordinary they have
ever been called upon to make. Living away
from Florence, where he has not been for
more than ten years, settled down in Paris,
where other chefs-d'olivre fill a hotel too small
to receive the extensive collections of San
Donato, the prince has resolved to turn over to
the public these superb works, which were not
created to ornament an abandoned villa.
"This winter we shall kilo w,at least (continues
the same letter), the price it is possible to ob
tain, in the nineteenth century, for Titian's pic
tures—for San Donato possesses two, most
'
_ authentic-and--magnificent,-a--portrait -of-the-
Due On - foot, and a "Repast at Eta
.-
; mans." Let us mention, also, of Sebastian del
ilonabo, a noble personage; of Murillo, his
own portrait, and a "St. Francis," glowing
with ecstatic faith and painted with a ray of
the sun; of Paul Veronese, a portrait of la
belle .Mani; of Memmeline, a "SaintVeron
ca" of perfect grace ; besides important works
of Carlo Dolci, of Cigoli, of the Tintotet, of
. Frenckpietures there are:, "Henry,.
IV. playing with his children," to which Boning
ton has given the characteristic of exquisite
color ; the "Jane Grey " placed en pendant to
the "Francisca di Rimini," by 'Scheirer, two
works which the engraver has made famous;
five compositions by Delacroix, remarkable as
, much for the magic of their color as for their
grand dispositions; Italian scenes by Leopold
Robert;, animals by Troyon ; eleven pic
, tures by 'Boucher; a ravishing Tragonard, in
. which two lovers fly to quaff of the fresh foun
.tain of love; two charming compositions of
Greuze, and, by the same artist, twenty most
alluring heads, each, more roguish than the
• , others, and fur which ' Diderot has not

[From the Fatnrklay Rovlow.J
If friendship is hard to maintaiiilieOveen
Man and man, it is still. more so, between inau,
and woman ; so hard, indeed, that Most people
hold it to be impossible. Yet many, woinen•
think it feasible ; all wish it; and probably a
feW, have proved, it. Ent these are necessarily
so few that they cannot be taken as a class,
nor their experience accepted as more than the
proof of a rare possibility, Still, ~there •are
hundreds of women to whom a man's friend
ship is their ideal of human affection. They
do not want the excitement of flirting, or the
peril and consequences of serious love
making; they want only the security
and assurance of simple friendship; but
all intense friendship—none of your vapid
general courtesy and universal charity affairs—
a friendship that means devotion and brother
hood in one, and that insures exclusiveness in
its own degree. Not necessarily exclusiveness
in all relations, but only in its own ; for many
of these friend-desiring women will accept quite
cheerfully the fact of the wife, who seldom
sympathizes with her husband's platonic at
tachments; but if the wife will suffer them
they will permit her, and make the best of such
obstruction as she may cause. They are rarely
allowed this exercise of their forbearance.
Here and there an old family lawyer or doctor,
who knows all about their affairs and ailments,
and has the,whole row of household skeletons
off by heart, sticks by them throughthe changes
and chances of their lives ; and the world does
not talk, • for somehow a long professional
connection seems to give a kind of
prescriptive. nglit to close personal friendship,
and no onettanks •any' harm of the tie. And
sometimes an old lover who has married, and
makes a good' husband enough, retains so
much feeling 'for the idol of his youth, now
pi obal ly passing into the fading flower, as, to
take her affairs in hand,--amL.protect,•her in
terests, perhaps at considerable trouble to
himself, and 'have her constantly to his house
like his sister—as he tells, his wife- s -calling her
by her Christian name,, and making her almost
One of his own family, with simply the house
door between,. • This can be done sometimes
with good sense,, good temper, and steady
principle all around. • But •, even these
not ' . too excessive manifestations of
interest can be shown; as a rule, only to
widows or spinsters; not even to separated
wives; for when once a woman marries, she
loses her male friends , more thoroughly than
even a man loses his. Even if she is separated,
men are shy of befriending her; if she is living
with her husband the thing is out of the ques
tion. Marriage is understood to include every
affectiOn possible to - two companionS of the
opposite sex; the world, at least in England,
not having come yet to the recognition of,
classified loves, and life made up of a mosaic
work of attachments.. The wife or husband is'
held to complete the cycle; and if by chance
it happens, and it does sometimes,
happen, •that 'the marriage is • one
without sympathy or intellectual corn- .
innionshir, the void must be endured
in silence, and no attempt made to till it up by
out-of-door friendships. We cannot under
stand that a man should love his wife and yet
have a platonic attachment for another. oenan.
The world would laugh,at the assumption of
the plato»isni, which it would take as a con
venient mask for something very different; and
the wife would not like it, and perhaps would
believe in it as little as the world. And what
we cannot accept with men, we allow still less
to women; wherefore, as we said' before, a
friendship of any closeness whatever is next
to impossible With a married woman, unless the
friend is young enough to be her son, or the
husband is abnormally generous or, obtuse.
And even with young men, if we are to believe
Dumas and others, of his school, friendship
means only passion in disguise, and the last
love of a mature siren is the first love of the
youth with whom she began by "mother
hood.'?Of coUrse•a woman's best friend should
be her brother or her husband, if she has one:
Yet if her husband is not sympathetic with her,
and if she has no brother, it seems rather hard
on her that she may have no male friend to
supplement her own deficiencies—no manly
judgment to guide her in difficult moments, no
care, no guardianship of any kind. But this is
one of ,the many hardships in' a mismatched
marriage; and the wife whose husband is not
her friend must consent to be lonely—infinitely
more lonely. than she who has no husband
at all.
Sometimes we see a bold push made for it,
and a woman standing Mit - against the - opinion
of the world, and fiercely proclaiming her right
to haVe a valuable friendship and her exercise
Of that right: - The power of maintaining. her
position certainly lies with her more than with
the man, for it is she who determines her lines
of relation With men, and the test of her moral
sincerity is in her ability to resist encroach
ments. If a man feels sure that exact limits
have been set to his position, he will respect
them and not risk the humiliation of a repulse.
It is ofily when women are weak, insincere to
themselves, vain, coquettish, or exceptiOnably
passionate, that men are tempted over the line,
and the platonism of their friendships falls to the
ground as confessed humbug. It women are
strong enough to be true to the platonic pro
gramme, men will be true to it also ; but most
women have but very shaky backbones, and
the sex as a sex has not learnt yet to say No.
Yet, if anion's friendliness'' is Valuable to a,
woman, so is hers to him. The honest affec
tion and sympathy of a sensible woman are
pricelessto a man ; and lie must be a mere clod
who cannot appreciate their beauty and use.
There are a._ thoueand difficulties and embar
rassments 'in which ho needs her advice and
help ; 'and no one perhaps is so miserable as
the wan whose life is wholly without womanly
sympathy. Still, one of the most foolish
things a woman can do is to proffer her friend
ship to a man. She might as well make him
an offer of her love out of hand,. for the effect
she will produce on his mind. How sincere
soever she may' be, she is not believed in, ; and
even men, who are not fops else, take her to
mean love when she says friendship, and either"
accept her on their own 'terms, which were
never meant to be hers, or laugh at her for a
futile attempt. The fact is, we rough, hirsute
creatures are so little used to intellectual inti
macies with women, or to .good comradeship
with any not belonging to, us by blood or mar
riage, that we do not know what to do • with
their friendship when offered. And. perhaps,
all things considered, it is a dangerous gift, save
with . women of singularly exceptional
conditions—the condition Counting. More than
the temperament. Pm: the women who are
lutist capable of friendship are not the cold and
phlegmatic, as would seem at first sight, but
those who have a life beside the mere life of
emotion which is generally the only one the
sex possesses; such as artists and literary wo
men—that is, women with a serious occupa
tion and an absorbing pursuit. These women
have large neutral tracts of interest where they

- Women'S friendships. with each other-have
long been the occasion for lofty ridicule on the
part of the superior creature. who dares to
doubt their genuineness ;. and the girl's gushing:
passion for her schoolfellows has passed into a
proverb when we wish to speak of rootless love.
And certainly women do go through an lin
mense deal of make-believe together; but,
like the girl's sisterhood with handsome young
ensigns and collegians, it is more a rehearsal of
the serious business than anything else, and
the mock metal is shown to be mock before it
has - been worn very long. And yet women's
friendships are sometimes very real; and the
sweetest affection that many a one has known
in her life has been a woman's love. This can
be in its perfectness only when both are verging
towards middle age, when neither is a wife or
mother, and when one has a stronger character
than the other, so that they impact better to
gether, and bring into their relations the charm
of protection on the one side and of reliance on
the other. But such friendships are as rare with
us as all other kinds,though they are to be found.
More of the religion of friendship may be seen
abroad than we have been able to cultivate
here in England.- Somehow we are too ex
clusive, too material, too reserved and bit 6,
'and suspicious, and above all too abhorrent of
sentimentality, for anything so purely a matter
of sentiment as

- wives to-allow' them friendships—not using
the Word as pleasant aciMaintanceship, but in
its closer sense—with Mau or . woman; and
wives decline to give husbands the liberty
which is denied to themselves. Among gothan
Catholics the , way is prepared for things of'
„
this sort by the intervention of the priest, who
is always the woman's friend extra to her hus
band; and the Germans; WhO eidtivate a
dreamy sentimentalism in all things, import it
into this ; but the British temperament and
mode of life—the one in its materiality, the
other in its claustral domesticity—do not favor
either sentimentality or intervention. So we.
live practically without friendship; whereby at
least we make no mistake between this and
love when the friend is a pretty woman with
soft eyes and a sympathetic voice; or contrari

A New Press Assoelatioti for News.
To the American Press : The undersigned,
having formed an association for pmuring and
disseminating general telegraphic news, desire
to give to their brethren of the press a state
ment of the reasons which' have impelled this
step, the advantages which they hope to gain,
and the general good tint must come from the
success of the movement.
-
For nearlv,thirty years an organization formed
as a limited partner Ship, and doing business in
the city of New York, has practically monopo
lized the news service of the United States:
Although knoWn as the "Associated Press," it
really represents seven newspapers in this city.
These seven journals have so arranged their
business that none of the Outside newspapers
know anything concerning it., No journal not
•concerned in the .partnership has any voice, in,
its management. Each newspaper is simply
permitted to pay an arbitrary assessment.
Whether it is an. economical expedient for
the collection and Sale 'of hem, governed
solely for the benefit of the press, or a business
deriving its main revenues from the outside
press, and yielding laraeAividendS to the part
nership, no one can largo
What we dO know
is that it is , a monopely'guarded with jealous
care, forbidding any new journals to come,
into the alliance, or, in New YOrk' for . instance,
-even to purchase: , its news. In other cities it
exacts a large, bonus for the right to purchase
the news, in some cases large eneugh 'to pre
vent the formation of any new joignal.
In California it has virtually remanded the
whole 'Pacific - Coast to r the •-
,control of , three
:newspapers: - ' We 'ctitthfunderstatid • the neees
shy of this policy, and the justice of, paying
,large sums of money for time privilege of btry
,ing the news, gathered" bythe partnership, if
the busiress.required large capital, or entailed
great risks. -it haS none- of these` conditions,
and the exaction of . .a Wilms is nothing but an
arbitrary • tax. In the beginning, the part
nership was intended to, lessen the expenses Of
printing seven' newspapers in the city of New
York. It is now continued because it enables.
these newspapers to. maintain . their high war
prices in dine of peace, and by thus aiming to
prevent the 'extension,Of <the press, is as much
a tax upon knowledge as the old paper duty
anti advernsement tax in England:'-
We do not enter into this association merely
to compete with the 'Asiceated Press. Some
of us have been debarred from permissitin even
to purchase its news, although willing to
comply with the most exacting conditions.
Others who have enjoyed that right feel that it
is no longer compatible with the dignity of in,.
dependent jonrualism, and. the true idea of a
free press, to yield silent allegiance to a power
of which we know nothing—a power which
lives upon our money, and surrounds its pro
ceedings with impenetrable secresy. No
matter how wisely the members of this part
nership may manage this business, we prefer
to manage it for ourselves. There is •no
reason why this partnership, which began as an
accident—grew into a generous anti helpful'
business, and finally became a gigantic
monopoly—should be permitted to retain un
challenged its mysterious control.
The extension of telegraphs by land and by
sea makes the collection of news a matter of
comparatively moderate expense. The time is
coming when the telegraph will be the only
medium for the transmission of news, and it
is to us a matter of grave concern that this
partnership, instead of advancing with the
progress of science, has paused. 'A majority
of its members, content with their monopoly
and believing; in its impregnability, have so
narrowed 'and diminished their news service
that were it not for the individual enterprise of
two or three journals within . the partnership, '
and the large sum spent by newspapers outside
for special despatches, the press of America
would be no farther advanced than it was
thirty years ago.
We have formed an association, to which we
invite every newspaper in America. The car
dinal principle of its existence is free trade in
news. We exact only a nominal bonus. • We
impoSe no harassing conditions of membership.
We have perfected our organization and
selected officers—but these officers simply act
in trust for the subscribing newspapers. We
do not insist that the purchase of our news
shall prevent the purchase of news from
any other source. We have already
Shown" that we can furnish better and more
trustworthy intelligence than the partnership,
and although this experiment has only been re
cent and limited, it transcends our best ex
pectations. It demonstrates that the time has
come forthis movement. We have endeavored
to organi7.e it.npon . the broadest and most
generous basis, avoiding the evils Of the AsSo
elated PresS, opening the door to every journal
in the land, and making it impossible to have
in the future any,appearance of monopoly.
Our business will be transacted in.open day.
Our resources from news service will be di
vided among the newspapers who form the as
sedation. Every journal that takes our news
becomes a member. We believe that the
American press is competent to manage the
most important part of its business without an
absolute surrender to any partnership or com
pany,. however powerful or respected: We
have no members that are not newspapers, and
we have no interest apart fromthe interests of
the whole American press. We do not pro
pose to cheapen the news, only to extend
it, to foster, so far as we can, the spirit of
generous and true enterprise.
With this brief statement, we ask the good
will and co-operation of our brethren of the
press, not without the hope that the • work
we now begin will, in the end, redound to the
prosperity and independence of our common
calling.
