Te figure pictures contrltmtcd by Pniladclphlans Mine rrtwnt emimuon mase bat a lUlm array, which by no means represents what has been done by ear artiste In that Important branch dnrlnir the fast year. It Is In the delineation of the human fare that American art is weakest, and It Is the possibility of competing with foreign works of the oirie character, while the facilities for art education are so limited, that makes tho management of such an institution as the Academy of Klne Arts a matter the first Importance to those who have at heart the interests or American art. A well-organized and jadicioiiHly conducted Academy would do wonder not only In the way of general culture, but In raising tec standard of the work turned out hy those npon whom falls the burden of raising and maintaining the art standard In this country. American landscape art hiis reached a point where Its most Jndi-lous friends can safely place It beside the best European efforts.

The American style Is distinctive, as it should be It lacks Home of the qualities which In the best Kuropcan works have a 'charm for the connninxcur, but It has there of equal importance; and with no restraints whatever to Impede them In the study of their models, it is gratifying to Hee tlmt the best American landscape painters are beginning to free themselves from any disposition to copy tin; manners of the Kuropcan schools, and to develop a style of their cwn, which is best adapted to the Interpretation of the peculiarities of American scenery. Figure painting, however, Is dependent In a very great measure the training of the schools, and until the schools make an effort to approach those of Kurope In the thoroughness of their course of instruction, it will be useless to expect this branch of art to attain the perfection It should. With very rare exceptions, the American llgure painters who have made their mark have completed their education in European schools, and their pictures, therefore, always more or less re-Oect the French or llelgian style. This Is an evil that calls for a remedy. An artist should be able to obtain a complete education In this country and not ntil snch an education Is possible can we expect to witness the rise of a distinctively American school of flgnre painting.

K. Winner we have three pictures The Village Letter Carrier," No. 86 "Tired of Skating," No. 108 and "John Alden and his Bride," No. 228 which are all painted in the peculiar grey tone which Mr.

Winner particularly affects, and which will always detract from the value of his works even if they possess merit in other respects. The bull in the last-named picture Is a curiosity in its way; it looks as if a two-story house had fallen upon it and flattened it out. Miss Ida Waugh contributes "The Bargain," No. 107 a clever work, in which her father's style is distinctly visible and a very spirited portrait bust of Carl Gacrtner, No. 290.

Mr. 8. B. Waugh exhibits eleven works, all of which, with one exception, are portraits. Or these the admirable portrait of J.

Kdgar Thompson, belonging to the Pennsylvania Hallroad Company, is the most noticeable, although the portraits or Abraham Lincoln, No. 84, and of President Grant, No. 41, are also excellent. Mr. George W.

The first named represents a court Jester and dwarf chuckling over a love letter which has fallen into their clutches, and despite some crudities of color and manipulation, it has merits which Indicate talent of no mean order. Among the animal painters Mr. Newbold II. Trotter Stands alone in the present exhibition, unless we except Miss Mary Smith, who sends several of her little chicken studies. Mr.

Trotters most important works are "Repose on tho Mountain side," No. i'2, and "Alderueysatthe Brook," No. lsi. The lund-ecape In both of these pictures is butter than the ani inula. Tho only remaining work by a Philadelphia painter that calls for special mention is un atrocious libel on Miss Busan Galton, No.

I feel called upon, therefore, to contradict a statement which places ns before the public In a false light.

Jealousy ami rivalry are indirectly but pointedly mentioned as the reason for myself and my brother artists not exhibiting at the Academy of Fine Arts this spring; at least the inference to tc drawn from the article to which I have alluded would so Indicate, and it becomes necessary for me to state here, what I have alreiulv suited to the directors, that no such petty motives actuate me, but that thedeliclenciea of the Academy and its antagonism to American art are sn indent to aeep me, anu snonid. I Hunk, deter a Amerirjiii art.lMts, from exhibiting on its walls. ini) sum ana stibmanec or my objections to the Academy are as follows: The an Ists, to the best of my knowledge, have no real authority In the institution existinir under the name of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Klne Arts They sre vested with no right or privileges save what are merely nominal, with the exewptiou admission free of charge, worth one dollar a head per annum. The best Judges of art. and the meiniN nr advancing the art interests of the community, aro, undeniably, its artists.

The best Judges of the busl- iicsb inicrcsut oi an institution are its men of business. Hot should be associated together amicably and work side by side In the same good cause. But for men of nieaiin, simply because they arc such, to arrogate the entire control or an institution professing to cultivate and foster art. almost iimm-biu im professors, juid giving them an interest which amount to an Insult, would be absurd did It not seriously allcct the progress of native art thniiiirli the country.

Ami is Mint an academy has never before, to my knowledge, been aught else hut mi Institution of learning, which lust certainly cannot, bo said in this case, as the directors have, for some time, in the face of respectful pet II ions from the artists, made it an auction mart for foreign pictures. 10 a great extent (thomx the rectors mav be nnwllllng to acknowledge it) the Philadelphia artists have built up the Academy, and given It whatever standing it possesses as mi art institution; and this iK-iiuiK'iii, mty me is ungrnteiui.

If they had a right to suspend a member or the Board of Academicians wlt.1 Mm fnm'iilrnt action or that body, it is evident that the said body must hold merely a nominal position; in other words, they become the servants or the directors, hanging their pictures for them year by year, and receiving as wages the price of their admission to the galleries and the title ol Academicians in the catalogue, which title would be of emml viilnn 11 Issued In diplomus by Mr.

The Academy has helped to Instruct many yonng artists (myself among the number), for which we cannot fall to be grateful but it must not be forgotten that the artists, in turn, have labored for it and beautified Its paiiuuj exhibitions every year. The funds it has spent In the tuition of young artists lias been a good Investment, possibly a disinterested one.

After much spurring, some time ago the directors purchased the a line work of art, the irritating stimulant being the Artists" Fund Society, some of whose members did not wish so line a palming to go out of Philadelphia. The directors have lately, under the same indirect spur, engaged Mr. Schussele, a prominent and worthy artist, as professor. This has been a move in the right direction. But the Academy Is extremely defective in any respects, and it can never fully meet the requirements of its name till its art interests are under the control of professional artists.

As it now exists, its title is a misnomer, for, as an art institution, it is but half aiive, having but little or no sympathy from the only men who could put new animation in its wasted proportions, and no feeling with the only men who understand the retiuiiriuenia ot 1U I cannot but confess that the vacillating and timid conuiict or some oi tno protession nas been trie cause ot mucn of the want of confidence displayed by the directors, and the energy and nerve necessary to insist upon heir lust rights, or withdraw rrom tne Acaaemy, huve lieen greatly wanting among many of the artists.

F. CITY mTSIXIGEBTCE. THE PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL Aniiuiil MertiiiKof the Contributor to the In- miliuion-Kenort of ihe Itoiu-d ol OpcrutioiiN During the I'unl Year. Un Monday afternoon last, the 3d the annual meeting of the contributors to the Pennsylvania Hospital was held at the institution, on South Eighth street. The proceedings were full of Interest.

Officers for the ensuing year were elected, the names of whom have already been publishsd in Tiik vTele- gkai'H. The following reportof the Board of Mana gers, which we print in totu, will be found well worth tho reading: To the Contributor tn the Peiiiixiih ania Hospital: The want of variety all'ordod in the oversight of the hospital, beyond the daily report of admissions, of disunities, and sickness, affords but little oppor tunity tor a report to tue coutrioutors istii com a materially Interest them, further than the satisfaction derived from knowing that all the patients who were admitted within tne wans or tne nosnitai received prompt attention, combining the best medical and surgical skill with good nursing and kind treatment, tending much to their comfort and the restoration of their health. In these respects the hospital Is unsurpassed, and we would not withhold the meed of praise justly due to the physicians and surgeons composing the medical stall', 'as well as the resident physicians and the omcers ot the Household, all or whom appear to bo (Minus in the good cause, and with ability and rutthtulncKS discharge their respective duties. Those remarks are equally uppiicable to that branch of the institution where those laboring under mental diseases are kindly and carefully treated. The success which has attended tho efforts employed on behalf or that afflicted portion or the human ruiuily under the euro and Immediate oversight of lr.

Thomas 8. Kirkbride, physician-tii-chicr and Superintendent, and his able assistants, has been satisfactory, and would call vour especial attention to Ms printed report giving much Information in relation to the very Interesting class of patients under his care. 1 In this report the gratifying fact is announced or the completion and occupancy of the ward erected by the liberal bequest made lor this especial object by our late friend Joseph Fisher, whereby twenty-fouradditional patlentHcau becomrortablv accommo-modated. This increased ability to provide for the suffering is not commensurate with the Increasing demands upon the Institution, but the mamiircrs in dulge the hope that as in the past, go may the future prove that wheu fuuds may be required to extend the benefits of either branch of the hospliul thev will be generously provided. While sneaking of the department for tim the board cannot withhold the expression of their conviction that the high character which It has always maintained has been Justly earned by a faithful application of all the means at Its disposal, mm by an earnest and unselfish devotion on the part of its officers to tho great objects of Its foundation.

While thousands of our own citizens, and ma.iv from neurly every section of the country, huve been the recipients ot Its beneiiis. we iuny neuevn, irom per sonul examination, never intermitted a single week ibirlnir the luHt tweiitv-elght years, ami irom a mini. liarlty with all the coses received, that no one has owr been placed there hut. from a sincere desire to benefit the individual, and that none have ever been rteuiiK-d a duy tourer tuan was beueven to be to their permanent advantages There hit never been a question on 'these points among those whose stndles and experience have made them competent Judges In regard to mental diseases, and no one should be willing to put In opposition to these Urn crude opinions of those who have no knowledge of insanity, or of those who are actuated by bad motives, or are still laboring nnder delusions. The Board of Managers have never felt called npon to reply to aspersions coming from such sonrces, and which they imlteved the community knew how to appreciate but they cannot refrain from placing on record their own most decided convictions on the subject.

An interesting report of the medical and surgical staff having nnder their care the sick ami surgical cases in the city department of the hospital accompanies this report. They deserve great praise for their assiduous attentions to the Inmates of Its wards, whose sufferings have hncn greatly alleviated nod their lives, in many cases, preserved by the skilful treatment of the physicians and snrgeons who devote their time and talent to this benevolent object without pecuniary reward. The Pennsylvania Hospital, In both of its departments, should be regarded its an extensive charity, not making, nor desiring to make, money from its operations, and always dependent, to a great extent, on the bounty of a benevolent community for the means of expensing Its benefits to those tinder suffering and affliction. It Is a source of gratification to your board to state that the amphitheatre tor lectures and surgical operations, which ror several years had leen In contemplation, and the necessity tor which was daily more apparent, has at. length been completed and was formally opened oa the nluthdayof First month hvst, bv an Interesting Mdress delivered by Dr.

John F. Meigs, one or the medical stall' or the hospital, to four or five hundred students and physicians, and also to the members of your board. By the completion of this building, greatly Increased facilities arc afforded in the performance of difficult operations, requiring a proper admission of light, which will remedy an inconvenience seriously relt heretofore In the old operating room, situated, as it Is, in thecentroof the main building, and illpadapte 1 tor a proper admission or light, and also deficient In the means of accommodating the students intending the clinical and general lectures at the hospital. The The number of these is constautlv increasing, with the Increase of our population, and the numerous applicants from the different sections of our extensive country who desire to avail themselves or the bench is or tills excellent school, and to make use of the greatest facilities for attaining the object of their pursuit, in the limited period devoted to elementary studies, whereby they may qualify themselves to render essential service to those who may be mulcted liv sickness or accident in their fnturo positions in life. This building was erected In accordance with tho authority of the contributors at their last annual meeting.

For several years your Ismrd Indulged the hope that by the proffered aid of others not members or the board, an appeal to our fellow-clllens for this specific, purpose would be crowned with success, and that the necessity for encroaching upon the capital or the institution would be obviated but finding that these expectations were not likely to be realized, they were obliged to resort to this alternative as the only moans at their disposal for accomplishing so desiiablo an object. There has boon received from our friends subscriptions amounting to tl2.T42,82 to aid in the erection of the lecture and operating room, whilst the cost or the building has been leaving a deficiency or to be supplied from our capital stock, unless additional aid for this important purpose can be obtained rrom other sources. The completion or the sheds In the yard alluded to In our report or lust year serves as an adjunct in the restoration to health or convalescent patients, whose comfort Is promoted bv an exchange of the atmosphere of the sick wiUU Ivr the Invigorating air or this open spac. From our treasurer's reort it appears that his re ceipta from the income of Investments have been during the last year Ua.BbS'lis, whilst his payments for the snnnort or the u(unitii me. sick and sm-vUut wiciitii itiS Jve amonnted showing a UOSelOney ol in this department.

It may lie readily seen tint, receiving as we do a large proportion of the recent accidents occurring within the limits of our Statp, if brought to the hospital within twenty-four hours, our expenditures mnstbe very heavy, and as this class arc admitted and treated gratuitously the cause of the dellciency referred to must be apparent. We would' desire again to call the special attention of the friends of the Institution to the great importance of providing additional funds to enable us to meet our current expenses, without the necessity of frequent appeals being made to our philanthropic and benevolent fellow-citizens. With the large and rapid increase of our population there will be a corresponding necessity to provide torn greuter number of suffering patients, which can only be met, as we desire to meet it, by a willingness on the part of our friends to aid us. The annual accounts herewith submitted will show that, without the contributions made two years since, and extending over a period of four years, and the longest for five years, the city branch could not have been sustained wlthont a considerable reduction in the number of Its inmates. This would be a cause of deep regret, and we trust will be regarded as a loud appeal on behalf ot suffering humanity to continue and extend the usefulness of the institution.

Since the last report of our treasurer there have been received by him the following legacies and donations, From Isaiah v. Williamson (making, witn t'20C2 formerly given, jtws-oo William Weightffidii, ror a bed or beds for the sick or maimed at hospital on Pine street 6000-00 I' nited States Sanitary Commission, for the care of United States soldiers or sailors, or their orphan children 2000-00 Legacy of Isaac Barton 4000-00 legacy of Ann Hertzog 20-a-s legacy ol Robert Fielding (balance) 1873-92 Mary )).

In conclusion, vour board would express tne nope that the continued blessing of an overruling Providence may lie vouchsafed in the future, as we humbly believe it has been in the past.
