Apropos of the question of artistic tbe Art Union tor March says : ] j There is another lower-class of pictures, , by tbe yard" and sold to dealers , tbe doxrn, framed." at prices ranging • —St wholesale ralcs-from 810 a dozen upward. But there burlesques upoo art ; usually ooly dangerous to a neutenu I i rie.tr or other densely Ignorant person; j however, placed under a reflector in an ! ! auction room, at a sufficient dlMance from , | tbe spectator, to one not accustomed to ! i lnokiogatpicturet,lhcy sometimes present ' fa very deceptive, favorable appearance, ; | and their Dutcbmclal frames glitter as ! j 'gorgeously ax real gold.

Well, several hundred, : when there is an active demand for so ' Bat here is another department; here we see a number of 'vagaboadlih old moetly Germans, pulling the "finishing touches" on pictures like those ws seen under way in tbe other room. The long pieces of mnXin.each containing ' from a dozen to twenty paintings of ths ; subject, htve been cut up, and tbe ' separate "pictures" have been tacked upon rough frames. The "masters" nf tbe establishment— who are miserable men w"ho have made failures as artists, or who considerable -imitative ability and dexterity without any ambition or direc: lion— are busily engaged in "filling In" the landacapes, io uniting their parta, io dashing a suggestion of cloud here, an indication of foliage there, and a woodenlooking figure somewhere else.

Ob, yes Tbey mutt work rapidly and finish 1 great many of tbeac tblnga in a day, else hew could "genuine oil painting!, painted upon canvass," be offered to the trado at "810 a doxen, Tbeac men, howevtr, from painting dozens of pictures of the same subjects, acquire great facility and rapidity , their peculiar work. When these "pictures" are dry, they are put in frames made of a sawdust composition, pressed into shape, and "gilded" with Dutch metal — a cheap imitation of gold, which, after a time, become* black. Heady for tbe market, tbe pictures are , disposed of in various waya. Some arc sent to auction rooms of a low class, here and in other eh let; others go to picture dealers io the smaller cities andjowns.and others still are "peddled" through the A Way out of It.
