ART AND ARTISTS. 
The second annual collection of t he American 
Society of Painters in Water Colors, now on exhi¬ 
bition in Now York, embraces two hundred and 
thirty-two subjootn, by over n hundred artists, 
of w hom more than one-half are women. Quito 
u number of transatlantic studios are repre¬ 
sented, The collection, as a whole, is very cred¬ 
itable; and considering the you Mi fulness of this 
specialty among home artists, the improvement, 
upon hist yrvir’h exhibition is gratifying. Espe¬ 
cially me the women artists to tie congratulated 
and thanked for the excellent work they show. 
It augurs well for improvement in all kinds of 
women's work. Mrs. Elizabeth Murray, an 
Englishwoman who lias stood at the head of 
water colorists in this country over since Bhe 
cainc here, and whose artistic excellence gave 
impulse and purpose to this branch of painting, 
exhibits six pictures, of which two are portraits 
of Boston ladies In “lull dress," and the others, 
“A Pet Bird, from Life in Greece,” “A Gypsy 
Forge," “Spanish Girl at Prayer,” and “A Bac¬ 
chante.'’ “Gypsy Forge” is the largest in the 
collection. Although naturally grouped and 
drawn, the numcrousiiess of the figures detract 
from what should be tho oontrullzlngeffect. Tho 
Gypsy girl, sitting hi the foreground.’ playing her 
tambourine, is full r>f spirit and animation, as is 
the boy, near by, who applauds. None of theso 
pictures equal her “ Gypsy Queen," and hardly 
satisfy tiio expectations her former cleverness 
raised. 
“ Coin*0fi (Tikisti Day, Seville, The Glralda," 
by Samvel Co lman, is deemed the best picture 
in the collection, b.v those who hold the quest ion¬ 
able rigid of “ critics.” rind it is said i< has been 
sold for six hundred dollars. The composition 
is the very best for harmonious as well as gtrik- 
I ng effect. The great tower of the famous cuthe- 
dral is brilliant with parti-colored lings, while at 
tho base of (he Glralda the people are gathered, 
and gathering, U>celebrate the festival,at which, 
according to the Roman Catholic faith, Cu hist 
is really and substantially present in the host 
consecrated at mass. The picture is finely fin¬ 
ished in detail, and allliough almost devoid of 
contrasting color. Is quite satisfying in its quiet 
richness of light and shade. Mr. Oolman has 
also a number of very meritorious landscapes. 
Miss M. A. Stanton of Pomfret, Connecticut, 
.exhibits live pictures, “Purlridge Berries," 
“Violets," “Golden Rod and Aster," “Fringed 
Gentian ” and “ Poke Berries," each and allot' 
which are beautifully done, possessing the clear¬ 
ness, delicacy and ftfjvcvh «*f those tiea.at.iful 
tilings left so entirely to nature's guardianship. 
The Mrs. P Alton, who signs herself t he possessor 
of Miss Stanton s paintings, is a luippy woman, 
or ought to be. 
Mrs. Nina Moore, who gives no clue to her 
nativity or residence, exhibits a gem of n paint¬ 
ing called “Christmas Cress." A cross of gray, 
rough-barked wood, against a dead white back¬ 
ground, is entwined with English Ivy leaves, 
while at tlie foot, are laurel, with their scarlet 
berries gleaming, and, as lettered with the most 
delicate moss, one reads the Christ inn.* greeting. 
About the satneliiing in marble marks the grave 
<if a sister of Marian It ah land's in Hollywood 
Cemetery, Richmond, Vn. 
Mrs. Moore has also painted some wild Co¬ 
lumbines very appreciatively, giving relief to 
their fine color by a. ImckgroHnd of a gray gran¬ 
ite wall. A study of autumnal leaves twining 
about the gray body ol'n tree, gives a similar 
effect- Her pictures are simple in design, clear 
and strong in color, anil charming jn their very 
simplicity. 
Mrs. C. Deming, who also hides her name un¬ 
der tho canopy of “Nowhere," contributes a 
showy picture, intended ns an illustration of 
Longfellow's stanza beginning, “There is u 
reaper whose name is Death." A Bible in blue 
and gold, a sheaf of golden wheat, a snowy cross 
half utddon in flowers, fonn n conjunction of 
pleasing and contrasting colors, which, with the 
subjects introduced, make a suggestive and at¬ 
tractive pic ture. Some moss rose buds are very 
finely painted. 
Miss M. L. Wagner of Newburgh, N. Y., con¬ 
tributes four or five subjects, of which “Coun¬ 
try Courtship" is perhaps the best, although 
“ Tho Blind Girl Knitting ” lias pathos and feel¬ 
ing. In “ Country Courtship” we are introduced 
into a neatly kept kitchen, where a healthy, 
tidy country lass was paring apples, until a 
young fellow with a mustache Just hinting at a 
prospective awning, and who has not yet learned 
to keep liis linir out of his eyes, drew' a chair 
close to hers, and safilsomething so astonishing 
that she put up one hand to her face in the pecu¬ 
liarly nervous feminine manner, while her great 
eyes, looking everywhere yet seeing nothing, 
are full of wonder. Young mustache, however, 
does not seem as much disconcerted as ho ought, 
and nothing about him so fully expresses his 
“having gone and said it" us his I wo thumbs 
and forefingers held in apex. 
OF Prof. Rout. \V. W ilk's six pictures, "The 
Walk to Emmaus" and “The Two Disciples at 
Himuaus," vide Luke xxiv, are fullest of mean¬ 
ing, as well as of creative genius. 
Prof. Henry Van Ingen of Vussur College 
shows a pretty picture, called “ Spring." He il¬ 
lustrates it by a tiny island covered with rushes, 
in which nestles a bird's nest. The bird is just 
at that point, of censing to fly, ready to drop 
down on her nest. The shore lies off in the dis¬ 
tance, while t he sweep of water around adds to, 
rather than detracts from, tiio prominence of 
the metaphor. “Milking Time," b.v the same 
artist, is a capital transfer of a barnyard at milk¬ 
ing time, with tho horses being led out to water 
as a suitable accompaniment to the milking pro¬ 
cess. Tho opening through the hay-loft of the 
shed has the true atmospheric color and body. 
Thomas W. Wood, one of mir best yenre paint¬ 
ers, displays his thorough acquaintance and sym¬ 
pathy with the “useful walks of life" in Ids 
“Wood-chopper," who is making his way 
through a sturdy forest tree with vigorous 
strokes ol' his ax lie intends to spend the en¬ 
tire day in the autumn woods, for there is his 
lunch pail in u protecting nook of a stump near 
by. The chips mingling with the autumn leaves, 
are natural in color, the one not fully separated 
from the tree clings naturally enough, and the 
action of the woodman, in the rollicking freedom 
of his shirt sleeves, is muscular aud forcible. 
An Art Union has recently been organized in 
Fan Francisco. The number of its original mem¬ 
bers is eighteen. 
Hoddin’s bronze statue of Washington which 
has been in the City Hall since 1859, has been 
placed on exhibition in the National Academy of 
Design.

A Special ReqneM.—We frankly nsk all its 
friends to aid in extending the circulation und use¬ 
fulness of the Rural. Thousand* of Its old sub¬ 
scribers are already doing this, and we trust the 
hosts who are joining it* standard Ijj all parts of the 
country wifi do us und their neighbors the favor to 
introduce the paper to notice arid support, In their 
respective localities- Friends, please show your 
neighbors and acquaintances the Model Rural, Lite¬ 
rary and Family Newspaper, and invite them to sub¬ 
scribe.. Though our dally receipts probably largely 
exceed those of any other Weekly in America there 
Is still room on our books for more —and Now to the, 
'I'ime U< main Addition*. 
Your Nome nnd P. O. Address. —Agents and 
others remitting tor the Rural should never “for¬ 
got, to remember " to give their own names pin in if, 
and also that of their Post, Orb re. inottown) County, 
anil State, (or Territory or Province,) Those who 
omit these important. Item* suffer for their neglect, 
as we can neither mail papers correctly, nor credit 
money, without proper data. We have several 
money letters lacking either post office address or 
signature, and must await orders — with which will 
probably come, it* usual in such cases, a “ blowing 
up ” for not sending the Kura t, promptly. 
Back N umbers nt this Volume will be supplied 
to all new subscribers, unless otherwise ordered, for 
some week* to come. As most subscribers desire tho 
complete volume for binding, reference, etc., we 
continue OUr rule to send back numbers to all who 
give no special directions to the cont rary—a course 
whte.li has generally proved satisfactory. 
New Subscribers. Ry the term new subscribers 
in our Premium List., wo mean,n* t herein stated, per¬ 
sons who did not take the Rural during the year 
1808. A change of initials, or to the name of some 
other member of an old subscriber's family, does not 
constitute n new subscriber by any means, and can- 
nut be So couiite.il. 
Howto Help the Rural. -There are numerous 
ways In which its friends ean aid in circulating tho 
Rural. First, show tho paper, or talk to your 
friends about it, or both. Get up a club, or aid some 
friend to do so or induce your P. M. to act as agent. 
Our premiums are liberal nnd sure. 
Tlow to Remit. The best way to remit for clubs, 
im we have often eluted, Is by Draft. If 820 or ever, 
send by draft, us there is no risk. For smaller 
amounts It Is beat to send by P, O. Money Order,-but 
if you cannot do that, send In Registered letters.
