Tho Academy, wifh the view of inspiring and encour
aging a taste tor Natural History, for tho hut half
century ■ has admitted the public to its Mnienm.ou two
days of the week, without cost. The Academy would
wish to piirsuo the snme course, but now find it neces
sary, for the preservation of itb collvctioufi, to limit the
multitude of visitors*. The excessive crowds not only
interfere with the progress and comfort of tho visitors,
but cause muchtlestructlon of property, fn the breaking
of glass and wood-work ; and tho production of dust is
so great as seriously' to .damage iheeolhftioris.
As the bestmeans of restricting the number of visitors,
the Academy,has authorised its curators to make u Muall
charge for admission. Tho Museum will lie opon ou

thirty dollars in counterfeit bills were found

The HcFurland Trial.
New York, April 27th.—After the recess
Horace Greeley put in an appearance, and en
sconced himself among the ladies,' remarking:
“This is my first appearance here.”
The cross-examination of Dr. Hammond
was continued.—Mr. Graham was about to
put a question as to the construction by the
prosecution of the prisoner’s acts, when the
prosecution objected. The objection.was over
ruled. "
Question.—May not the fgtets be looked upon
by the defence as evidence of revenge ?
Answer—They might; from the circum
stances, I believe the prisoner to be insane.
It is possible, for a man’s mind may. suddenly
change. Taking, all the circumstances into
consideration, X should judge' McFarland ih
saue.
Kebuttal testimony then commenced.
Horace Greeley was the first witness.
Knows prisoner; had a conversation with
him. Objected to, and asked what the rebut
tal proposed Xo show. .
They proposed to draw out the conversations
which occurred at"" various times after
the separation, to show McFarland’s state
of mind.
Mr.,Graham spoke to sustain the objection
requiring the prosecution to keep to the strict
line of rebuttal. Overruled.
Mr. Graham continued-to object. Again
overruled.
Sir. Greeley continued—About a fortnight
after I heard of the separation, Mr. McFar
land called on me at the Cooper Institute; said
lie supposed I had heard the other side of the
aflair; said 1 had pot. He said Richardson had
come to his' house under false representation
he and his (M cFarland’s) wife werevery inti*
mate;,that alter Mrs. McFarland, he (McFar
land) was called to a family council, at which
were her father aud otherpprsons; in which
lie was accused of vaWtfUJT things, and Mrs.
McFarland said she would never »o back
again to him lie said, “Mr. Greeley fdo not
believe 'there has been any, criminal inter
course, but slie can never more be .my wife”;

On further questions being put to the wit

against the itiode of condueting the rebuttal,

28 Union Square, New York, April 22,
1870— To the Editor of the Syracuse Journal: —
Sib: I inclose you a copy of tbe official des
patch of the Brazilian commander, giving the
details of the savage mauner in- wEich—they
butchered my father. The Brazilian General
does not blush to inform his government that
when the Paraguayan chief “ was completely
defeated and seriously wounded, and refusing to
surrender, he was killed.” i.
This act, unworthy of any people that pre
tends to be civilized, was perpetrated' by the'
representatives of the Slave Empire of the
American continent; and, moreover, they
officially boast of it as a gallant deed. I pray
you, therefore, Mr. Editor, to let the readers
of the Syracuse Doily Journal know of the
shameful deed of the Brazilians, which is a
disgrace to the nineteenth century.
What will now be the fate of my unhappy
country I cannot foretell: but of one thing !
am sure, anffithisisythaf aslongasthe-Pani--
guayan nation is not extinct, Brazil will not
quietly role over Paraguay. In a note dated
duly 25, 1845, my grandfather, Carlos A. Lo
pez, says to Bosus, the then Governor of
Buenos Ayres : “Paraguay knows what she
is worth; she has sworn to be independent ;
she renews her oath'every year, anil her sous
love their country,.which for them is a sacred
soil. The Paraguayan people oannot be con
quered; it may be destroyed by some great
power, but it will never become the slave of a
foreign power. ” The allies may momentarily
subdue Paraguay, but the blood of the-thou
sands who have cheerfully died on the battle
fields of Paraguay, fighting for the indepen
dence of their beloved country, can not long
remain unavenged.'"''''"'' 6
Thanking you for your favors, I remain,sir,
yours obediently, Emiliano Lopez.

In the Paris Libtrte there appears the fol
lowing letter ttf-the editor from M. Loyson,
hitherto known as Pere Hyacinthe:
Paris, April B.— Sir: It is believed in many
quarters that I have a great though concealed
share in the publication of La Concorde. Such
a course of proceeding would not, I am sure,
be attributed to me by any of those who know
me, but I feel bound to give a public denial of
it. There can be no doubt that my sympa
thies are with a work to which my brother is
a party, and which promises to add strength
to the cause of religion and liberty. That
cause is more than ever mine, but there are
dift'erent ways of serving it, and 1 think it
best to remain.in that .silence which my con
science imposed upon me at the beginning of
the crisis through, which we are uow passing.
“Humble thine heatt,” says the inspired
book, “ and wait patiently, and hasten not to

OBITUARY.
Daniel Slaclise, lE. A.
A Cable despatch yesterday gave the infor
mation that Daniel Maclise, who for many
years has enjoyed the reputation of being the
principal English' historical painter,- is dead/
Mr, Maclise was a little over fifty-nine years
of age, having been born January 25, IBIL
He was of Scottish, extraction, as his plain,
round, practical-looking head, clear and sen- r
si hie eye,- and broad , bald forehead, gave eVI- r
deuce.-No one who could he met on the
Strand looked less liko a Bohemian ora man
of imagination. And hi 3 mosfr elaborate and
most successful pictures liave at least as much
of Scotch study and demonstration in them as.
of artistic insight. A little of the diagram, a
little of tire hard trace of the compasses,,
underlies even Ills greatest works, in
the ' picture of the “ Play-Scene in'
Hamlet”—an elaborate ~ composition "crowil
ed with varied forms, and a great
sensation in its day,—the lines are moSE’sKll
fuliy and gracefully combined, and the figures
are drawn with a strict attention to anatomy;
hut the attitudes are rather ornamental thau
..voluntary, and the drawing, although.every
niuscle may be accounted for, is wanting in
that finer sense which depicts, truly the curv
ing of the muscle itself, its uneven shrinking
and subjection to general movement. This
defect of any very fine draftsmanship runs
through all his works, and makes him a deco
rative rather than an emotional painter. He'
ris-fond of intricate historical scenes; with cos-'
_tumea_and.accessories.which,-though-appro-r
firiato to the epoch, are never quite free from
the suggestion of the theatrical property-room,
and groupings that are continually_haunted by
the traditional devices of the stage. His inge
nious and interesting works, “ Allhallow'Eve
in Ireland,”.“Malvolio and the Countess,”
“ The Author-Insulted by the domedlahH,TrtSHr
Gil-BlasS’ ‘‘.ChrißtliMg'ih^th'g^RaTbu’ri^lSalH’U
“ Caxton exhibiting his Press to tho King,”
“Yicar of Wakefield,” “ Sacrifice of Noah,”
"and 't Scene.ffom Cdnrns,”. never, arrive abso
lutely at the-point where art conceals - art.
Maclise was not a good-colorist, and liis most
careful painted works are perhapsTessafHstic-"
ally satisfactory than his etching of the “ Con
tributors to Fraser’s Magazine,” and other de
signs, inserted.in The .Reliques of-.Eather-.
Prout.” Of a more studied sort of excellence
are the forty-two drawings, illustrative of tho
history of the Conquest, exhibited by him in
1856. Above MUhiS"minof" worEs7liowevef,
whether- ranged among the national pos
sessions- in tho Vernon Gallery, or dis
tributed in private collections, are to ~
be .ranked his large moral paintings at
Westminster, which will remain a lasting
monument to his ability, elevation and ver
satility. —liTtEese great .works Tie has risen
with the occasion, and the partially deeora-
live and architectural character of fresco
painting goes far tq excuse tho constitutional;
formality of his composition and tho meaaurod
elegance of his style. Bouri/eois painting if it
he, no other living artist in England, and few
anywhere, could have produced pictures at
once so satisfactory to the masses and to the
critic as those immense tableaux which face
each other in the royal gallery of the Houses
of Parliament, one representing the Death of
Nelson, and the other 'Wellington and Blucher
on the held of Waterloo. In the last-named
especially, the marshalling of crowded figures
is executed with masterly ease, and a rich
velvety depth of color, m.ost unusual in fresco,
attained.
Mr.Maclise has been a steady and patient
worker in art since the age of sixteen. Tho
family having settled!omlrish ground, in the
city of Cork, young Maelise, though a born
artist and a phenomenon of boyish draughts
manship, commenced lifo with a sort of a bull,
by going into a banking establishment. For
saking this mistakenpost he began to draw at
the Boyai Academy, London, in 1828, and iJi
1830 studied for some months at Paris. In 1831
he easily took the gold medal of the Royal
Academy’for a “ Choice of Hercules.” Since
that time he has been a steady contributor to
the annual exhibitions in London. So early as
1835, at the age of twenty-fdur, the Royal
Academy elected him associate, after
be had borne oft"' all tho med
als for which he chose! to compete.
In 1855, to prepare himself for his great task
in mural paintiug, he was absenlt.in Italy for
nearly twelve months ; he also served as juror
in the Paris Exposition. Of late b'e'has lfeeif
employed on cartoons connected with the
chronological history of England, to bepaint&d
in fresco in the Houses of Parliament- In
1866, the Presidency of the Royal Academy
being vacant, and Landseer refusing, it was
offered t.o Maelise, who declined in favor of
JSlr Francis Grant. A. surviving brother of
the painter, Mr. Joseph Maelise, an eminent
surgeon, is a Fellow of the Royal Chirurgical-
Society and a corresponding member of seve
ral other learned associations.
Xonia Crepon.
A young artist of the greatest promise, ono
of the most brilliant students of the Pennsyl
vania Academy, kafl.just died at sea. Louis
Crepon, of French parentage, removed from
this city to Pans.,some ten years ago, where he
married and began to pursue his art with suc
cess. Contemplating portrait-painting, in
America, he embarked a short time-.since on
a French stekmetTwith his wife and child.
He died when three days out, and was buried
at sea. Too ylpungto have accumulated any
savings, though in a prosperous career, poor
Crepon leaves his widow quite destitute. ■ The
young lady being a stranger to all on board,
and speaking no English, was quite helpless.
A contribution was taken up for he'r on the
ship, ttnd she returned to France. ,- An . oii

PRICE THREE CEtfTS.
TH E ACADEMY OF NATIIIt*!, BOIENOtf
Perversion of truth is sometimes dbserved iw
the words and actions of men who scorn inters
donal misrepresentation of every kind. V
striking instance of this occurs in an editorial
of the Public Ledger, of April 21st. It is stated,
in the article now/, alluded to that' admis
sion to the museum <jf the Academy of Natural
- Sciences,; iisnotr
to b'cTostricted to thoso who pay a foe- of tenj '
cents.. But in the sense implied", admission to
the museum qf the Academy, strictly speaking, '
has never been indisfcriniinately free'to" the:
public. '' . ' ' " '.. ■'■
Every member of fhoinstifcnfion pays apoou
niary consideration for the' privileges he has in'
it. Among these is tho right to visit the mu
seum himself, and to introduce into.-it his'
friends, or strangers. This general , practico
among members was to give a card, 1 which
was in form of an order to; admit bearer, or'
ISBSffbr and' pai^;. ; a .p'er
quisite' of membership, for which, witlj,. othor
perquisites, the member pays at”the 'rate
of ten dollars a year, or, by paying
round sum, commutes for UfqLsothat.in fact,
members pay .for the admission of those who •
are not members. 7 The admission of strangers,
then, is entirely discretionaly. AnyTtnd every ’
member may refuse either to accompany &
person and introduce him to. the museum,-or
to give him a card of admission. , The cnatorn
has been never to refuse an applicant this
favor-. While some, gentlemen-have seldpm ‘<w
never been ajiplled to, others, who ate generally
known to be members, have "beep almost runT
_dn.rcn-by-applicant«~for—tiokef.s—df—admissicrn^*-
The exercise of this privilege of admitting:to•'"'
thC museum has been so free that adiiiianon
has come to be regarded -by the people as abso- -
lutely gratuitous, and that they have a right to '.
admission, although every one knew that it '
was necessary to be armed with a member’s
order heforg'he could be admitted- „
The philanthropic ahdgohero us proprie tor
.of thii Publtc Ledger, who is a member of the
Academy, announced that admission to the
museumof the AcadrtujHbf-Ntffdral Sciences '
was gratuitous, and that tickets might be had
free of cost on application at the office of the- '
'Public Ledger. Be made the" same announce d
ment in the “ ledger Almanac,” of which ' he •'
distributed - gratuitously eighty thousandv:
.copies .at r_the commencement of the
year 1870. Tills announcement was oa‘ !
his owjl responsibility. Giving tickets of ad- '
iTiseum is one of the perqui
sites of membership. - ; . ,

came densely packed with people, a large pro
portion of them virtually the guests of the
Public Ledger. Four thousand si-ir hnndrn/t
-persons passednhrotrghTthe museum during
one afternoon. The number was seldom less
than 3.0C0- 1_ - _
The alleys or passages between the cases are -
narrow; some of them less than two feet
wide. The dirt brought into the Museum from
the streets on thousands of pairs of feet is
ground very soon into impalpable powder or
dust, which is floated by the atmosphere
wherever an air-current penetrates. After
wards it is deposited upon the contents of the
vertical cases, and upon the glass surfaces of
the horizontal cases, sufficiently deep to ob
scure the view of all articles displayed lit
them. The throngs passinjj through the hall
in one day have the effect of voillngin dust
all the collections kept in tho horizontal, and;
many of those contained in the vertical cases....
A densely-crowded procession moves through
those narrow passages, no one person in
it being able to stop to examine any small
object without backing up the current, which r
not unusually results in a breakage of glass
from undue pressure thus induced upon tho
moving knees and elbows of people struggling
in a crowd* No one breaks the glass, of course i ■
but the curators are obliged to find means to
replace it before the next public day.
The semiannual.assetKn!ent_of_livQ _dol!arB
from each member who has not commuted by
paying a round Bum for a life-momborship,
does not yield income enough to defray the
current expenses of the institution. At the
end of 1809 there was a deficiency of more
than four hundred dollars, made up from do
nations by generous members. ■
These data are enough to indicate that the '
museum is suffering lnjury- steadily from the
multitudes which have been crowded into it, _
in connection with the inability of the insti
tution to defray, fromjts usual income, the ex
.penseof a sufficient number of additional at
greatly increased quantity of dust and dirt
tendnnts properly qualified ,to remove
from the specimens andi cases- the
brought into it on public days.
It seemed imperatively necessary, first to
preserve the collections in a proper condition
for-study, which was the sole purpose of mak-r
ing’them ; or, second, to apgment the current
revenue to the amount of at least $2,000 annu
ally, and thus enable the institution ter pay a
.sufficient number of persons to keep, the mu
seum in order, without restricting the number
of visitors. No one has been able to suggest
any feasible nlan to accomnlish this ond.
The problem to ho solved was: How to re
duce .the multitude of visitors to snob numbers
-os might be admitted withliut risk of entirely
destroying the usefulness ■of the museum to -
students? ■ <*
This problem might bo solved by closing tho
museum to ah persons who are not members.
But during a half century the members wero .
authorized to introduce their friends by cards
of admission, so that tho people had come to ,
entertain a notion that the institution was.de
signed for the amusement and entertainment
of the public, and that the public bad an India- ~
putable’ right to free admission. As well
might the people claim a right to use the
UnionLcagueHou.se, the Philadelphia Club
House, company’s house, or the pro- -
misrs of any other corporate institution of tho
city. —: . I ;. ■
The Academy was reluctant to close ith
doors entirely to people, who might desire to .
see its collections, while satisfied that soma 1
step must be taken to' preserve them for that :
purposes for whicb they were made.-, - , V
Toaccotiiplishtho object, itwns determined
