THE WEEKLY The Early Genre Painters Discussed by the I-adies of the Art and Science of Art Thrown on the Screen. for The The lesson at the Art Class on the 24th began with the early genre painters, but the first pictures thrown upon the screen were six of Claude Lorraine's matchless landscapes. The Embarkation of Saint Ursula, then Morning, 'Midday and Evening, each considered almost priceless. Morning was perhaps the most beautiful. The, had not yet risen above the horizon but the glory of its rising beams cast a radiance over the water; one could almost feel the fresh breeze of morning as it ruffled the waves.

One of his pictures, called simply "Trees," is celebrated as being the model for all the foliuge of his later pictures, nine of which adorn the Louvre. Antoine Wa.tteau was the first of the genre painters mentioned. He was born at Valenciennes in 1684, of a humble family, struggled into notice jiuijiuit; i.xiiiiij cii.j.ujvt,'"— 3 3 through poverty and hard study and died of consumption before he was 37. He acquired great celebrity in his peculiar department of art. His favorite subjects were balls, masquerades, rural fetes and Arcadian pastorals.

Louis XIV. was his patron and he had no taste for low life, so all the painter's shepherds were courtiers, and his shepherdesses, were maids of honor. His colors were bright and sunny and though many of his pictures are si'lly one cannot but be pleased by his pretty conceits. His works weregreat- ly admired by Frederick the Great of and "many of his best pictures are to be found in Berlin. Jean Baptiste Greuxe has always been one of the most admired of French painters.

He excelled in delineating domestic scenes of a touching and impressive character. One of his masterpieces, called "La Cruche Cassee," occupies a conspicuous place in the Louvre, and the class were lost in admiration as the lovely face looked down upon them from the screen. A handkerchief is tied loosely over her bare shoulders. The sweet childish face, framed in dark auburn hair, the fair rose-tinted skin, the deep blue tin- speculative-eyes, the rosebud mouth, and the charming way in which she gathers up her dress, filled with pink apple blossoms, while the broken pitcher hangs apparently forgotten on her arm, all conspire to make it one of the most charming pictures of budding womanhood ever painted. The name of Jacques Louis David marks an epoch in the history of art in France.

He was born in Paris in 1748, and at the age of 27 he went to Rome, having already obtained the grand prize of the Academy for his picture of "Antiochus and Strato- iiice. It is said he wept when he saw the superiority of the classic and antique style and real that he must begin anew the study of his art. He returned to Paris live years later, and painted his Belisarius," which opened the Royal Academy to him, with the title of'painter to the king. His whole life was a protest against the corruption into which French art had degenerated. When the French Revolution began he had become the chief of French painters.

He was a fierce Republican, and the friend of Marat and Robespierre. One of his celebrated pictures is Marat's assassination by Charlotte Corday. He was disgraced by his complicity in the crimes of Robespierre, and was a member of the convention voting for the death of the king. He was imprisoned after the death of his leader, and his masterpiece, "The Sabine Women," was painted after his release. This picture sold for 00,000 francs.

Napoleon made him painter to the Empire he painted two pictures illustrative of this period, the "Coronation of Josephine" and, "Napoleon Crossing the Alps." A critic says of the latter that "It is an ideal in more ways than one, for we know that the First Consul, instead of prancing on a charger at the edge of a precipice, really rode over on a donkey." This picture was shown to the class. David was deficient in coloring but his designs were inimitably beautiful and true. Paul Delarochebelongs to the painters of the nineteenth century. He had little sympathy with the antique and his style was a cross between the classic and the romantic. Scenes from modern history or religious sentiment were his favorite designs.

He was the chief of a school called the Eclectic. His picture of the "Assassination of the Duke of Guise" was shown. It represents the moment when Henry III. looks forth from his door-way and beholds with satisfaction and terror the dead body of his mighty rival and exclaims, "My God! how tall he is! he looks even taller than when he was alive." Another picture shown was the large fresco in the hemicycle of the Palace of Fine Arts in Paris. It was his most ambitious production and represents the arts of different nations and different centuries with varied groups of over seventy poets, painters, sculptors and architects.

The class spent some time in picking out the faces of the different artists. Less refined and more theatrical than Delaroche was the style of Delacroix, who seems to have drawn his earliest inspiration from the poems of Dante. His first noted picture was "Dante and Virgil in the Bark of Phlegyas." This created excitement, and was severely criticised. He is regarded as the chief of the romantic school. A brief account was given of Gericault and his famous picture, "The Raft of the Medusa," which hangs in the and so strikingly portrays the talents of this painter." The picture represents the crew of the shipwrecked vessel Medusa floating on an immense raft, after days of exposure, to which the feeble succumb.

The dead and dying lie in i i heartrending of despair, but I suddenly the survivors behold a sail, and in frantic joy spring up to welcome their deliverance. It is just this moment that the painter has chosen for his terrible picture. The eminent French artists, of the present day were next taken up. Meissonuier, Gerome, Millet, Fromar- tin, Dore, Rosa Bonheur, their principal works and characteristics being briefly discussed as well as the present condition of French art which has not yet recovered from the deterioration which it suffered during the second empire. Gerome's picture of the death of Ccesar was shown with fine effect.

Rosa Bonheur's "Shepherd and Sheep" also gave much pleasure to the class. Hammerton insists that it is the English love of horses instead of art which has made her Horse Fair so famous, but the injustice of this criticism is easily shown. Her most famous work is "Ploughing in the IM- vernois," which hangs in the gallery of the Luxemborg. Her passionate love for animals enables her to ain from living models with a skill and fidelity rarely equaled except by Landseer, but the'sentiment which made it easy to read a story or a poem in each of Landseer's pictures is lacking in Rosa Bonheur's. Her animals are fine animals, nothing more.

Gustave Dore, whose recent death has saddened all lovers of art, was dwelt upon, and his management of light and shade highly praised. Color was not his forte. He had two studios in Paris, and a collection of his pictures is always on exhibition in London. His illustrations of standard works are as familiarly known in America as they are in France. Versailles and the palace of Louis was next taken up.

Versailles is ten miles southwest of Paris and is one of the handsomest towns in Europe. The great attraction of the town is its palace and the history of the palace is the history of the town. The site of the palace was that of the ancient priory of St. Julian, which dates from the time of the Capstan monarchy, later it became a feudal stronghold. In 1570 it belonged to Marshal de Leo mine one of the victims of St.

Bartholomew. Louis converted the building into a hunting chateau and here Louis XIV. built his magnificent palace and thence transferred his court from St. Germain. It is said that the reason for this change grew out of Louis' morbid fear of death.

He did not wish to live where he could see the spire of St. Denis which continually reminded him of the burial place qfrthe French kings. The class will continue the study of Versailles at its next meeting. MRS. D.

by Earl Dufferin, Viceroy of India, for reinforcements to the extent of 25,000. The ar Office at first proposed to send 10,000 men from England to India. Lord Dufieriu pressed for more, and a recount of the army showed that 15,000 men could be sent. This number of troops was prpmised to Lord Dufferin, but still he was not satisfied. His reply to the proposal to send him 15,000 men is said to have been in the nature of a demand upon the government to send him either 25,000 soldiers or one viceroy to take his place.

The government, it is said, concluded that Lord Dufferin could not be spared from his post at the present juncture, and therefore advised Her Majesty to call out the reserves and the militia: Gen.

NEW YORK, March Grant shows considerable improvement this morning. He slept well all night and at noon went out driving. There has been a change in the treatment of the General within the last few days. An experiment is being tried. It -was adopted by the physicians at the earnest solicitation of the family.

Although the-former do not have any faith in it, they acknowledge that it can do no harm, and will not have any bad effects if it does no Thenew remedy is a decoction of red clover. It is a very simple and homely remedy, and the skilled physicians who have charge of the case regard is as old woman's medicine." Scores of remedies have been suggested to Drs. Douglas and Barker. Earnest requests have. been made from people in all sections of the United States, and even England, that their remedies be given a trial.

So many suggestions were made that red clover should be used that the remedy was seriously considered by them. It it understood that a medical gentleman who is intimate with the Grants, and who has frequently been called to attend one of them, has tried the remedy with great success. He has never attended the General, but understands his case and advocated'the treatment. When Drs. Douglas, Barker, Shrady, and Sands gave up all hope of curing Gen.

Grant they agreed to try red clover to please the family. Gen. Grant's family are very anxious to have a likeness taken of the General before his appearance is changed by exhaustion from his disease. The soreness of his throat and jaw has made it impossible for his beard to be trimmed. It has, therefore, attained a much greater length than he has been in the habit of wear- it.

His hair has also -grown This gives him a much more venerable appearance. When the subject of admitting an artist to take his bust was broached to him he did not take kindly to it. Noticing that his refusal occasioned disappointment to his family he finally consented. "It willjep- resentme as a pretty old man," remarked the General. "Weil, it might as well be taken now and will save the trouble years from now." Work on the bust was begun and several sittings were had last It is understood that a copy of it will beincluded among the General's trophies that have been presented to the nation and of which he is the custodian while he lives.

Paul Railway Line which has been taken under control by the Farmers' Loan Trust Company, on behalf of the bondholders, was formerly known as the Green Bay Minnesota, traversing the state of Wisconsin from east to west, is 230 miles in length, its terminal points being Green Bay on the east, and La Crosse on the west. Although the Farmers' Loan Trust Company is nominally at the head of the road, it is asserted that the line now really belongs to the Wisconsin Central Company, which corporation quietly secured control to strengthen itself against the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul Company. This view of the transfer is given color by the appointment of Gavin Campbell, of the Wisconsin Central Road, as manager for the Trust Company. A Farmer Bilked.

A farmer residing at La Prairie, Rock County, was bilked out of $375 by a Janesville couple. It seems that the woman presided over the farmer's household, he being a widower, while her husband remained in the city. In course of time the lonely granger became enamored of his new help-meet and proposed that he bribe her husband to leave the country. The farmer visited the male obstacle to his happiness and the latter agreed to make himself scarce for the small sum of $375. The money-waspaid promptly but the Janesville man failed to clear out.

On the other hand his wife deserted the farmer's house, and is now her husband enjoying comforts purchased with the granger's money. Rebellion in the Xorthwest. Owing to non-settlement of land claims, Kiel, of Red River rebellion fame, has taken the field in the Saskatchewan district, at the head of 1,5 00. half-breeds, seized the stores at Duck Lake, and threatens the mounted police barracks and stores at Carleton. Men areenlisted as fast aspps- sible, and police detachments, with cannon, are going to the front.

The Canadian government forces had a battle with the rebels near Fort Carleton and were repulsed. Ten men were killed and eleven wounded. The loss of the rebels is unknown. Young This.

NORTH HOPE, March little daughter of Joseph Renner was taken ill with colic, went into a trance state, being to all appearances dead. The heart ceased to beat, the pulse was extinct, and' respiration ceased. In this condition the body was kept for two days, and then the family began discussing the funeral.

After everything had been settled upon, the father looked again at the child, and she gave unmistakable signs of life. The pulse beat slowly, but it indicated that life was there, and means were at once used to fan the vital spark into a flame. The doctor was again called and restoratives applied. Although respiration returned and the action of the heart increased, yet consciousness did not return to the girl, and all efforts to restore her were fruitless She remained In this state of torpidity for twenty-six days. On the evening of the twenty-sixth day she opened her eyes and feebly asked for a drink of water.
