The groat nutnbe-r of paintings and amount of 
statuary that are annually imported from trails- H 
Atlantic studios, and sold in this country, has at | ( ‘ 
longlti arousod our homo artists to a sonw or b: 
I heir “wrongs." An initiative meeting lias been tl 
held, and a committee appointed t o petition Con- si 
gross foe pro tee l i ve laws, by h-vylng a liigh tariff 
on all imported pictures and statues. 
The seventy-six pictures sold at Hie recent d 
artist fund *>ile in New York brought $7,815.50. 11 
"Our Father Who Art in Heaven,” by Eastman m 
Johnson, brought $fllO, the liigtieat sale. “ The ‘ n 
Boyhood of Lincoln,” by this artial, contin¬ 
ues to attract attention wherever on cxhibl- 
Mon. One booh a rude but neatly kept interior, j. 
in which a boy of thirteen, “or thereabout," sits 11 
Studying by the light Hist comet from the fire in ( 
l he great open fire-place. There is some!long in s 
the lace of the boy tliat obaraeteirivsed the facts of 
Hu. man. Tlie painting hus been chroniolitho- 
graphed, anil the chronto is sold lor fifteen dot- J 
Ia,r8. Such a picture is good to lmvo in a home , 
where Hiere arc boys to work their own way in 
tlie world. Jt is an Inspiration. 
The winter exhibition al the National Acad¬ 
emy of Design Isa very poor one in point of ex- < 
ce lie nee. The number of subjects exhibited Is 
three hundred and seventy-six; number of 
artists represented one hundred and twenty- 
three. of whom twenty-six arc women artists. J 
Of portraits there are seventy-six. Including the , 
memorial collection Of tlie late G. I,. Elliott. ( 
William Page ex hi hits port rates of Theodore | 
and Blizaihth Tll/EpN. TU/TON’s head always ; 
suffers t»y being severed from tiia hotly. The 
portrait of Mrs. Tilton Is a face to study uml 
love at the beginning and end. It is nut a regu¬ 
lar featured, stat uesque face, full of varying and 
tender emotions. The brow is broad, not high; 
I be eyes dark, downeast mid thoughtful; the lips 
sweet, yet full of strength. This is a face all 
artist should love to paint, as there is more than 
mere Uosli tints and outlines to put on canvas. 
Miss fck W. Wknzlkk, an Amcrioan-Gormnn ar¬ 
tist, ranks high as a painter of flowers In oils. 
Virgin i a (i ranbi.hry lias nearly outstripped alt 
rivals she on«o may have had as a painter <H 
fruits. Her sister. Henrietta, paints libjveis 
and landscapes with credit- Miss C, \V. Gonakt, 
uS a portrayer of grief and the sadder range ol 
human emotions, shows skill and sympathetic 
feeling. In such subjects as “Tie- Motherless” 
and “Weary and Worn,” sbeeh coses well. There 
are also a number of proof engravings on wood 
of Bkfohkr’s forthcoming Life of Christ, which 
is a novel way of advertising Its lO-l>e excellen¬ 
cies. Tim designing is done by A. L. RawsOn, 
the drawing b.v H. Finn and the engraving by 
W. J. and II. D. Linton. P. B. Wight has do- 
Blgns for decorating tlie corridor ol tlie Acad¬ 
emy. If ho c«uId munugo to decorate t he outside 
into somet hing harmonious find artistic us a 
whole, lie would receive a nation s thanks. 
One of the chief attractions In New York at 
present Is Thomas Hell’s “ To-se-ml-te Valley,” 
which is on exhibition at Snedelor’s Gallery. 
Tlie sketches wore made live miles from tlie 
- “ Domes ol the Yosemito" of Bikilhtadt’s, and 
i at tlie time Mr. Golf ax ami his party were in the 
, Valley. The painting Is charmingly realistic in 
Its effect, and the Valley. ltMiood on either aide 
with hold, rocky, verdure-crowned mountains, 
invltos one to lake a stroll in it. At the left of 
the picture towers, nearly perpendicularly, the 
. granite stoop known as “El Cupitan," tliree- 
' fourths of a mile In height. On the right, where 
1 the inclined surfac.es of two mountain tops form 
an acute angle, a stream, “The Brldal-V oil balls, 
", leaps from the precipice and soon loses it sell in 
I a foamy, gauzy mist. The sky Is partially over¬ 
cast with clouds; it iR Rhowcring farther off. and 
0 die sunbeams that pierce through the clouds aud 
II heavy atmosphere, define strips of light across 
6 the Valley and against Bin mountain sides. A 
4 limpid stream—the Merced River winds through 
t lie center of the Valley. Tn ihe foreground is a 
n table-land, or plateau, on which the sun Rhinos 
and vegetation grows. Some Indians are halting 
o on jt to let their horses drink from a stream that 
a rung across it. The rooks below and about it, 
ar( , sharp and bold. The trees and foliage, won¬ 
's derfnlI.v perfect in detail, give the scene a civil- 
, * j/.ed. inviting look. Asa landscapist, Mr. Hill 
d has. in this painting, placed himself on a level 
o with the I'cst American or foreign artists. The 
X) size of tlio canvas is six feet by ten. The price 
it la $10,OM. The chromo lithographs are to be 
a fifteen and live-eighths inches by twenty-six; 
e- price fifteen dollars.

NINE HUNDEED AND SIXTY MILES 
Of the line west from Omaha are now completed, 
and the work is gotng on through the Winter. As 
the distance between the finished portion of the 
Union and Central Pacific Railroads is now less than 
*00 miles, and both companies are pushing forward 
the work with great energy, employing over 30,000 
men, there can be no doubt that the whole 
dram! Line to llic Pacific 
Will be Open for Business in the Summer of 
1869. * 
The regular Government Commissioners have pro¬ 
nounced the Union Pacific) Railroad to be FIRST 
CLASS In every respect, and the Special Commis¬ 
sion appointed by the President, says : 
- Taken as a whole. THE UNION PACIFIC HAIL- 
JtOAD HAS BE BN WELL CONSTRUCTED. AND 
THE GENERAL ROUTE FOR THE LINE EX¬ 
CEEDINGLY WELL SELECTED. The energy and 
perseverance with which tlie work has been urged 
forward,nad the rapidity with which It ha* been ex¬ 
ecuted are without parallel In history, and in gran¬ 
deur and magnitude of undertaking it ha* never 
been equalled. 1 ’ The Report state* that any de- 
flclences that exl»t are unly those Incident to all new 
road-, and that conic! not have been avoided without 
materially retarding the progress of the great work. 
Such dcflclenoes are supplied by all railroad compa¬ 
nies after the completion of the line, when and 
wherever experience show* them to be neoeesary. 
The report concludes bysaylug that“tbn eountry 
has reason to congratulate itself that tills great 
work of national Importance I* so rapidly approach¬ 
ing completion under such favorable auspices.” 
The Company now have in use Ilf? locomotives and 
nearly 2,000 ours of all description*. A lurge addi¬ 
tional equipment 1 * ordered to be ready in the 
Spring. The grading is nearly completed, and ties 
distributed for 120 miles III advance of the western ^ 
end of the track. Fully 120 ml lea of Iron for new 
track are now delivered west of the Missouri river, 
, and W) miles more are an nvilr. Tlru total expen u- 
i tare for construction purposes in advance of the 
1 completed portion of the road la not lees than eight 
million dollars. 
Besides a donation from the Government of 
, 12,800 acres of land per mile, the Company is enltiled 
i to a subsidy In U. S. Bonds on its lire- as completed 
’ and accepted,at. the average rate of about > :; 0 .GO 0 per 
l mile, according to the difficulties eucountcred, for 
> which the Government takes a second lien as t-ecu- 
rlty. The Company huve already received (■< 22,158,000 
ut this Kubetdy, of which $l,280,00u was paid Dec. Cth, 
5 and $r>io,ouu Dec. Uth. 
I MVEWIEW AID-S8CLR11V Ilf Tilt BONDS. 
By Its charter, the Company is permitted to issue 
Its own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to the same 
amount us the Government Bonds, and no more. 
These Bond* axe a First Mortgage upon the whole 
road and all Its equipments. Such a mortgage upon 
wlutt, lor u loin; time, will be the only railroad con¬ 
necting tlie Atlantic and I’aclllc Slates, takes the 
!, highest rank us a wife security. The earnings from 
™ th< way 1 * 1 - local Im-laeiM tor the year ending Juno 
,# sc, ms, tm an ugeragu of *72 miles, were ever FOUR 
MU.LION DOLLARS, which, after paying all ex- 
, peuses. were inn» h more than siifliriunt to cover all 
I I Interest Hubilltyupon that distune©, and the carn- 
i. logs for the I tint five months have been 12,386,870. 
They w ould have been greater if the road hud not 
been taxed to it * utmost ca pacit y to transport its 
N own materials for e>instruction. The income from 
f- the great, passenger travel, the China freights and 
the supplies for the new Rocky Mountain states and 
Territories, must bo ample for all Interest and other 
V liabilities. No political action can reduce Iherate of 
III Interest. It must remain for thirty y«;:ii- sir. per 
' -l rent per unnurti hi gold, now equal to between eight 
and nine per cent In currency. The principal h then 
,- paunble in qoM. If a bond with such guarantees were 
issued ny the Government, Its mnrke* price would 
not Im less than from Al to 25 per cent premium. As 
E these bond* are issued under Government authority 
and supervision, upon what is very largely a Govern¬ 
ment work, they must ultimately approach Sovern- 
rnuut price*. 
y’ The price for the present is J’AIL and accrued in- 
vti toi'csi at 0 per cent from J uly 1,1868, lu curroney.
