A n excellent portrait in oil, supposed
to be of George Washington in bis
youth, has recently been discovered in
the p< -smsiion of Thomas Neimes, l’asa-
Alena, Cal.
D viuno the last few months there
have been sold to go out of Italy s.utto
paintir.gr., nbout 1,009 works of sculp
ture, 80,000 pieces of money and about
100,000 other objects, such as furniture,
silver, antique arms, stuffs, etc., all be
longing to Prince Torlonia.
O ne of the most striking pictures of
this year's summer exhibition at the
British royal academy will be a vision
of the last judgment by Sir Frederic
Leighton. It is founded on the words
of St. John the Divine: “And the sea
gave up the dead which were in it.
A t the recent dinner and exhibi
tion of the Philadelphia Society of
Etchers, Mr. Moran explained the differ
ence between the painter s etching and
the engraver's by showing that the
work of the latter is a reproductive art,
and not original, while the painter s
ct king is free-hand drawing upon a
grounded-plate.

troubled with defective vision; but
this did not prevent him from learning
the sculptor's art. lie is the sculptor of
