Gen. Alexander's generosity in making tbe preliminary examination at his own expense generated the popular belief that he was ready to pay for tbe transportation of the peerless work of art. He declines to assume any such reeponaib.Uty. and calls upon tbe Government to make tbe necessa ry appropriation. All things considered, tbe British public must agree with him that it is a Government matter; they must also admit that tbs neg'igesce of the Government in letting the obelisk lie la Egypt for fifty-five years was a poor way of showing its appreciation of the gift.

Suburban AHracf ions—A new £nter» pruo by Ira llrowa, Tho latest enterprise developed by the untir ing genius and ever ready invention of our groat suburban village builder, Ira Brown, is tho pur chase of a portion of tho beautiful village of Homewood, within the Immediate southern out skirts of the city, located about 17 miles from Chicago on the Illinois Central Railroad, and accessible by any number of accommodation trains. The price paid by Sir. Brown was $50,- 000, his purpose being to cut up the entire quar ter section without delay, and to place 1,000 new lots before the community on his famous uni form scale of SIOO per lot, with first choice to first purchaser, and with all the benefits of Lib accommodation plan of payment by easy month ly installments. The universal public intercut that has long since been awakened in Mr. Brown’s popular suburban enterprises will naturally extend to Homewood, and the probabilities are that the population of that romantic village will witness an immente increase during the present aod coming season. The popular demand for lots at Park Fudge, and in his other subdivisions in Evanston, Desplainea, Glencoe, Thornton, etc., ail on the easy accommodation plan, of course, continues to represent a main feature of the suburban interest. An Interesting* Document. Considerable interest has been excited in mu sical circles by the publication of a circular by Mr. W. W.

It is a strong document, and will confirm the axpoxLeuce of the world in favor of that piano. Trade in lb© North Division. A recent article relating to traffic in the North Division omitted mention of an important interest —that of hardware—long represented, in the pop ular and metropolitan sense, by the well-known firm of Harbcson & Brugm&n, No. 33 North Clark street, whose method of manipulating the interest has been such as to develop a wide popularity. The atock earned by the firm U largo enough to meet the demands of the whole city in anything relat ing to hardware and house-iumisbing goods— the Kathbone ranges.

A Volition Doctor* The police of Savannah, Go., lately caught an odd fish in their not. A Mrs. Shuman, walking on au unfrequented country road, was knocked down and robbed by a negro, and tho police, after a long search, dually captured the robber in tho city.

The search developed about the parson of the negro tho following articles: In hie pantaloons pockete. a rabbit’s tuiL a rabbit’s foot, several oottles of sand, and a large collection of beads; in a leather pouch hung from Jus nock, a lot of birds' gilis, birds’ toes, and a quantity of sul phur ; in a belt around his waist, snake-root, fennel-root, silver 5-ceul pieces, ooous* toes, cafe tail, and oyster-shell dust.

THE ACADEMY OF DESIGN. ITS HISTORY AND PRESENT CONDITION. The Academy of Design has experienced some recent vicissitudes, but it stands, ana no doubt will continue to stand, as the most conspicuous art-institution in the city. The near approach of the reception and exhibition, forms a fitting occasion for a review of the history of the organization and a statement ot its present con dition. Somewhere along in the fall of 18CB a few Chicago artists met together in a little studio on Dearborn street and formed an association. The initiatory fee was $5, and the sessions were frequent and en thusiastic, It was do; long before forty-five or fifty names were enrolled, and the very considerable amount of crackers and sandwiches, and good ale and cigars, consumed by those happy Bohemians, appeared to engender a cor responding amount of good feeling and fellow ship. This was the nucleus of the Chicago Academy vt Design. After the first enthusiasm bad somewhat abated, a few of the most earnest spirits of the organization procured, in 1883, a charter from the' Legislature, liberal and com prehensive in its terms, and granting some special privileges. Mere social enjoyment was of course never the chief object of tho Academy. From tae very beginning of Che enterprise, while mtu.r brilliant exhibitions, entertainments and recep tions were given for the public benefit, and many pleasant reunions held by the members among themselves, the first object was to ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN GENUINE ART-SCHOOLS. To this cud the aitiMte interested in it labored, giving their time, money, pictures, and unceasing efforts, and from time to time, as oc caaiorf required, devising and managing in the inteiest of the schools and the Academy a aeries of art-entertainments bo biiiUaut and succeasfiil am lo do honor to the city. The achievements of this voung but vigorous institution before the great Are wore of a kind that any citizen of Chi cago might well recall with pride. It would ap pear that for once a society of artists was en dowed with executive ability and capable of bar mou.ous management. Within three years from the time when it had but twenty members and SIOO m its treasury the Academy was established in a handsome building, erected at a cost of $70,000 and containing ample galleries, school rooms, studios, offices, and reception roomr, and a line little music-hall. It paid a rental for the four stories of the building thus occupied of SO,OOO per an num. It had fitted up the building at a coat of $15,000. For some lime before the lire, the statements of the business manager showed that the average receipts of the gallery weie over $25 a dai, while the receipts from the rents of stu dios and the Music-Hall amounted to between SB,OOO and $9,000 a year, and the receipts from annual subscriber* were over So.OCO. Besides this there were other sources of income, from life and fellowship memberships, from commis sions on sales, etc., and the total revenue was al ready at so handsome a figure and so rapidly in creasing that the time was confidently thought io be near when the Academy would be able to purchase and own entirely the hoiidiog and pound on which it stood. This raoid growth and speedy success was in the characteristic Chicago stylo, and it was all done by the artists themselves. Tho Chicago people, it is true, responded generous ly *hcn called upon lor yearly subscrip tions. Bat the artists took pnde in giving an equivalent, indeed an equivalent fourfold, for every dollar subscribed iu ibis way, and tho ar tists’ receptions of Chicago became worthy of any city in tho laud. RDT— rEB ITSE BURNED, and all the studios and tueir treasures, the pic - lures and marbles and casts, made some costly little heaps of asnes, and the insurance was like other insurances. After that tho Academy had a struggle, hue other people, and, Like other people, it is having a struggle now. But it is busy again. The schools are in running order, and supplied with materials and competent in structor*. A school of sculpture is in process of oigamzatlon under tho direction of the Presi dent of the Academy, Mr. Leonard W- Volk. Mr. Felix iiegamey, an artist of reputation both in Europe and this country, and late s Professor in Paris, baa charge of the schools of drawing, composi tion, and practical design, and also of free-hand drawing as applicable tc the uses of architec ture. In this latter branch of instruction, architecture, au exceedingly important work has been undertaken by Mr. W. L. B. Jennov, who has engaged to deliver fioqueot lectures and furnish counsel and practical guidance to the pupils making it a study. The schools of paint ing and composition are in charge of Mr. J. F. Gookius, vrucae methods of instruction are those of the French and Munich schools com bined. Tbe authorities of tbs Academy, believing thoroughly in the recuperative power and-ef fective bumoias of continual work, have de termined to KEEP TUB SCHOOLS IN FULL OFKIiaTION through the year, not even stopping for their usual vacation during trie summer. This has be come almost a necessity, to meet the wants of pupils who come hero from other places dur ing the summer, but cannot come in wiuter, and there are also many of the sons and daughters of our citizens who are anxious to avail them selves of the drawing schools while other insti tutions are dosed for the summer. The class rooms are in the building at the southwest cor ner of Michigan avenue and Vaoßuren stioet. Valuable aod appropriate prizes are given to pupila making genuine and creditable progress. THE LXTB BULB OF ITCTUBES at the Academy was interfered with by exceed ingly bad weather, by the Thomas concerts, but especially by the general dullness of the times. Still, though but few pictures were sold, they brought fair prices, ail things considered, and the sale as far as it went was a success for the Academy, Propositions for building a tine build ing have lately been submitted to tbe officers of the Academy, and taken under advisement by them and by a number of prominent citizen* who have the interests of art genuinely at beau. It is probable that something will result from the current interest in tbo subject that will do honor to Chicago and be of lasting benefit to the city and tbo country. A city of the first class like Onicago cannot long do without an Academy of Art, and experience has shown that it can be made more than self-sustaining under judicious management. A good exhibition bos been kept open continuously since tbe opening of tbe Academy last September, and the pictures have been changed frequently as new ones have come and gone. AN ESPIOLLL EVENT is to occur st tho Academy Thursday. the 17th, In tho form of one of the. handsome, old-time receptions. It is intended to be made an agree able affair, and the invitations will be very limit ed m number. Summer is bore, and the artists, before their scattering to field, and forest, and shore, wish to say welcome sod adieu to their friends in their own peculiar fashion. There will be not only many now pictures by oar own artists, bat a considerable exhibition of fine foreign works. The reception will be followed by au exhibition and sale. ART-NOTES. coKconn to the fookt as© extras. Concord, which is well known to be one of tbs points at which ibe superstructure of earth rests upon ths foundations of all things, is busy es tablishing its claim to be considered, like Qen. Washington, M First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of its countrymen." Tbs Centennial established the firat clause, — at least to the satisfaction of Concord people. They may do what they please at Lexington," said a Concord gentleman, “we will write the history.’* The Centennial has bean followed by an article on “ Concord Books " io iforper’a, to the authorehip of which tho absence of Miss Hannah Hudson’s name points suspiciously, since her claims as a poet would scarcely be overlooked by any writer but herself. And now comes a second claim to high plafco in the arts of peace in tbe following uem, and it mav bo doubted if any other village of 2,000 or 3,000 inhabitants con match it: Miee (May) Alcott, the sister of Louisa Alcott, the children's story-toller, has started ao Ait- Academy, as she jestingly called it. in Concord, in a room formerly occupied as a Alasonio hall, over the brick engine-house near tbe common. It is a large, finely-decorated room, with high walls, win dews ca three sides, with close •hatters inside, so tbst the lights can be proper ly managed. Concord people take to art like young ducks to water, ana some boy or girl in every family is drawing, or modeling, or decor atmg, panels and boxes, lliss Alcutt h&s con tributsd her drawings and plaster models, and invited others to do the same. Mias Wheeler will meet her diawing-class ol eight or too young ladies there daily, and anybody else who desirea to see the room is in vited to set up en easel and go to work tree ot charge. Ths leading idea is to collect such orawioga, paintings, and models as ths village may a fluid, and to give the aid of ayinpatbv and mutual instruction to all comera. Tho benefit derived from Miss AJcott’s super vision will insure a successful season whether the enterprise develops into a permanent “ Art- Academy " or not. It will he remembered by readers of flno-art nuns that Miss Alcott last year reaped the re ward of lorg aod enthusiastic devotion to the practice of art, and won the commendation of Mr. Raskin is the best copvisl of Tucnor’a pic tures in existence. Michel Angelo's saying, “True genius is infinite patience,’ used to stand as a motto over her studio door. Her copies of Turner aod original sketches of English tuiuu, stc., are now highly valued in Rost jU. piniura' ** it’ccLi.onGit.” It is bnt fair to Mr. Phillips to publish tho following: it is due no less to tbe well-established influence of your Diner in this city than iis Importance to me, that I seek to throw » side light into the •• critique ” on Mc- Culloch's picture, given in your columns of fctt Sua dav. Tbe picture was hung at » losing height, the head reaching some %i feet above tho floor.

The article of last week was Dorbaps not cars ful euooga to make it clear that the two pictures were not aide by aide, but quite differently situ ated.

Logan’s family, Mr. llichaidsou, of the Bank of Montreal, and wife, and several Washington peo ple. Mrs. Bassett has also outlined a sketch of a cbiidion’B sewing-party, which promises to be a very charming character-picture. Her inde fatigable industry haa been i ©warded with de cided improvement and a rare facility in the use of tbe pencil and broth Hoc likenesses are al most invariably satisfactory. Mr. and Mrs. Fussetv will remain in Chicago during the summer mouths, but remove to Wash ington in October, there to take up their per manent residence.

ARTISTS IN TRANCE. From TuinJa u Sotca on ParU. n I have been spending a mouth this fall at Foutaiubleau and m the neighboring villages. It is there that artists muy be seen m their natural and simple ctaTo, bat at first I paid bat little at tention to them. A bard life that of au artist. There are mou of 50, whoso names are famous, who do not earn 10.0UU francs a year. About ofi, after ten years of study, be begins to produce something, then sales must bo made, and to make sales the artist must have the tact of a salesman. Some go fasting aud put in here and there ft threo-frauc lesson; but even that id a chance, borne gain* backgrounds for photog raphers, or large aign-boarda. At 10, with real merit, or friends in the newspapers, be may get into notice by constant exhibition and puffing. About 50 be earns t htUa money and haa caught the rheumatism. Each year the number of artists grows loaa and leas. The 5,000 pictures of the Exposition distract the attention, destroy all beauty. A woman Is pretty alone by her lireaide, in her easy-chaix; put her among eighty ball-oreubet and she is lost. Tho smaller towns are beginning to have their exhibitions, and in this way hulo municipal reputations aie acquired. Two or three, the most skillful,put off their stout shoes os soon as tbo aalous of the Exhibition are opened, return to Pails, move about in society, and wear out enormous quantities of new gloves. They know the critics, they ecent the taste of the day, and set up their studios. When amateurs meet a painter in a certain set in society, and hud he wears a decent coat, they can hardly offer him Use than 500 francs for a picture, ilost of them are as nervous about their talent oe a woman about her beauty. X have known one, and one of the three or four moat famous of our day t to drop hist arms In discouragement and almost to shed tears on reading a newspaper criticism by a man who never handled a brush. , On the other hand, artists have the gift of self-deception. The animal-painter has a por trait of a faded blonde hanging in his studio; he baa made an Ophelia of her. On the whole I do not see that they are much to be pitted. They can forgot themselves ; they can think of the beautiful sunset they have j net soon. In the evening there tloat over the andirons pretty bunting scones which they will some day paint.

Xho Rapid Development of the' Kcal Estate Interest. Active Demand for Property in Every Part of the Division. One of the moat noteworthy features of tha pest week U the earnest attention which the North fcide residence-property has drawn to itself, and the consequent stiffening of prices in that sec tion. The “bear" movement has outlived its time, and the public are beginning to appreciate the situation—to realize the fact that they have been letting the most desirable residence-prop erty in the city slip through choir lingers when it could have been bought for a song; while many have been, induced to pay fabulously high prices for lots two or three miles further from the business centra of the city. Choice corner lots on the North Side are now very scarce, and are being rapidly taken op. The improvement in the residence section daring the past year finds its counterpart only in tbo re building of our business district. Few of onr readers are aware of the number and character of the residences which now line Bash, Cub, Stale, Dearborn, sad LaSalle streets. The cross streets come in for their share, far surpassing their parallels on the South Side; but Bush and and Dearborn streets take the lead, and. before another building season draws to a close, they will rival the heretofore more favorably-known avenues of which the Sonth Side has boasted so loudly. The early completion of the lake-ahoro drive by * Ang. 1 will be a new stimulus to the most rapidly-improving residence section of Chicago. It m not often the case that residence property is an invest ment, but, unless we are much mistaken, parties buying at present prices will realize handaomelv before another year is past. Not oulv la this property near the business centre, but it is all within five to six blocks of the drive, while choice locations on the booth Side are a mile or two from business, and almost as far from the boulevards, and to reach either of chese—tho boulevard or business centre—one must be jolt ed over streets worse than any old “corduroy road” in existence. North hide property has taken such a prominent place within tha last few weeks that the ©itabliabmoui of a North tilde real-estate, loan, and collection agency by a.'S'i U. V, 6,105 r. s. a w. a. ax’coiuucK, tiro gentlemen most favorably known in business cuclee, is not premature, as 'at fijsi seemed to soma, and as many who are looking for houses in that section, or who are looking abont for iu . vestment and reliable information, can alre«dv testifv. The North Side office is at Room 1 McCor mick Music Hall, where special attention is paid to Nona Side real e&tate la ail its phases,— buying, leading, coiiectiuc rents, etc. The South Side office is at Room 9 Reaper Riook, corner Claik and Washington streets, where the South and West, a« well as the Nortn Side, property placed in the bands of these gen tlemen will be handled, and where deaired in formation and terms co property in every section of the city can be obtained. Iheao gentlemen will soon have cocupiotod arrangements fur making, or uegot Ulng. mortgage loons on first c-Uea improved property. Non-residents looking for investments, or having property m this city, can hud no more reliable agents tlirougb whom to operate than these gentlemen, they being able to guarantee not only prompt and satisfactory attention to business in ail its details placoa In choir bands, but also prompt return* of ail funds intrusted to their keeping. Xhe.Messrs. McCorreick'now have in their hands for sale not less than*twenty houses ou the North Side, and a large number for rent, and also & large number of the most desirable build ing lots on the North bide. They have business pr- petty of eveiy kind and deecnption on the South and West bides, as will be seen by refer ring to their advertisement ou another page. A Crazy Doctor, Ellen Case, a young’ woman employed as a do mestic sotvaut m a family at Oakland, Cal., was attacked by a trivial malady,and Dr. Peutack waa culled in. Dr. Peutack had long been known as an odd man, full of freaks in professional and social conduct, yet bo had a reputation for skill la the practice. Really he waa a maniac, and insanely in lovo with the girl whom he was summoned to treat. Ho had made some advances which she had repulsed. The sight of her ill put the idea, into his crazy Lead that if he could only get two quarts of her he could con struct from it au exact counterpart of her. This counterfeit creation, he supposed, would be en dowed with life, and be in all respects like the original. Ho announced that it VrouM be necessaiy to bleed the girl, and be actually let out from her aim the two quarts that ho wanted, taking it away in a pall. The operation was injurious to the patient and neatly killed her. Another physician was scut for, and, upon hearing what Dr.'Pentock had done, ho commu nicated to toe police bis belief of that practi tioner’s insanity. A visit to Pentack’s residence was made at once. lie was found boiling the blood in a kettle, and mixing various chemicals with iv. He bogged bo bo let alone in his ex periment, declaring that his process was certain to evolve a living woman within a few minutes if ho was no; disturbed. The officers arrested lum, aud he is now in an Insane asvhim, where he talks about nothing but ins process of mak ing facaimilies of human beings from their blood. Chicago and tlie XU-?at©d Steamer Schll- llr. E. 0. Enoch, of Chicago, who wu lost on the "Bcbiller, was photographed at Brand’s atudio joat be fore he sailed, and, when on hla way to the depot, told Ur. Brand he was taking one of the portraits home to his old father and mother, who lived in Saxony, and whom he had not seen for ten years. Mr. Brand realizing how much such a picture, taken unoer such circamaUncefi, would bo prised by his old parents, has just executed another beautiful portrait of the lost son, and sent it, with an appropriate letter of Uon, to ths grief-stricken old people, away la far-off Saxony. The thoughtful kindness of Ms. Brand is certainly to he highly commended. Across the Great Bridge.
