I See illustrations oa First Page.) HAVANA, April 5.—Only four days from New York by steamship -four breegy, lasy, luxuriant days—and ae anchor within the nether jaws of Morro Castle and del Punta, surrounded by forma, colors and perspectieea hitherto associated only with thoeentuiiea gone or tbe remote corners of Adri- atic Europe. Drop-curtaiv' scenes at every torn. Straw hats aad eery light'Unen at this early season. Until the anchor ot the homeward ship shall swing agaia. bo it over go long, tbe true tourist never wearies of Havana and the Havaaese. Perhaps he may not talk Spaaiah, but there are plenty of people who speak EngUah courteously and well. The nutter may be bad. Well, the Cubans don't eat it; neither should visitor*. Then the insects-for instance, the lusiduous mosquito—may bo endured, a s a t a n y summer resort of Mow Jersey. If tbe tourist la a genuine traveller he will speedily adapt himself to the habits of the people w ith whom he temporarily sojourns. Ho will exercise patience and "take things easy." He will begin with the lesson of too Custom House and Health laopection. Let the traveller forget thai be is not a Spaniard, and, while he waits, profitably speod his time io ad- miring from the upper deck the varied scenes about him. First and highest the forttflcaUons of Cabanas, stretching ita annular inassivenose along tbe opposite bluff. Then facing it, compactly set close to tbe water, is the city itself. Palaces, ware- houses, churches and ordnance sheds all in a mass.' Toe site is a plain, with fort crowned, hills behind and spacious dotted suburbs intervening. l a t b e harbor, with just room for each to swing at anchor, are the ships of every country, our own having but a meagre representation. Long ranks ot ships are moored bead oa to the quay aad anchor astern, keeping them in position, and they are Mnloaded by a gangway built over tbe boars. Finally reieaocd from tbe dursnee of the ship we are nocked closely into those marine omnibussea never t o b e forgotten for their chronic yet (utile at- tempts to upset, as they speea away towards Itho Custom House. Here again we have time to con- template the queernesB of all thing* about us. We see that the Cubans are worshippers of color aad effect, a race of artist* bora. The boatmen aad 'longshoremen look exactly a s w o see them in the drop curtains, and the bouse fronts art varied as to their brilliancy of Mnt only by remoteness of construction. Then tbe hotel Is an immense facade, whose interior well boars ont the promise of its f roalage. It is built so that every room mar have light and free draughts of sir; it is devoid of carpets; the boot rooms and parlors are on the upper floor, and you dine a t a table flush with the covered and thronged walkway. It Is luxuriant from its very novelty. If you wouidhea Cuban rora week or so you will rise at six o'clock, and having braced up with cafe con U che. you may devote the time Intervening bo fore breakfast iwhich should be taken about ton o'clock) to a visit to the market square. Bora Babel reigns supreme, aad all the varied products of this fruity isle may be found in profusion. A little later go to some one of the many churches, whose bells chime forth a noisy invitation. After breakfast don't walk, R s cheaper to ride, and remember that the currency of the realm is but one-half tbe value of silver—for twenty cents will pay for a ride to any point of the city In a coach, behind a heart broken steed which had rather die than run. If you atop tbe •coach v" to apeak to a friend your fare Is doubled. The normal condi- tion Of '•concnies' and, in fact, all other people in waiting m Havana, la somnolence. Tour guide goes ssleep while striving to answer your questions, and from association you soon ac- quire the national habit. Therefore, sleep coolly from stevea awtrl two ta the day afff *Mrh «i» and smoke unui dinner at Ave. By *u means smoce, or you will be suspected as a stranger. Smoke ln< cesssntlv the little soothing cigarette or tbe full- grown snd odorous Bock cigar. A carriage ride upon the Cerro—a street of palaces wiB Oil well the tune until the music begins upon the PradsQand the thea- tres open their doors. Evening la the time to see Havana at her boat, and tbe means of diversion are so numerous and aggress- ive s s t o require Rule by way of a guide-board. It is thee that the omnipresent military swells, the cava- liers, the lottery ticket vendenaadtliebeggsraeibow each other in every cafe, and the noon of night is rich with tbe mingled songs of bacchanalian youths, and tbe metropolis; of Cuba forgets for a little while her losses in revelry.

L. CONNOR, }. E. EENDRICK. GeuTFassT Areot Bapertatendeot f.«wna A GLANCE AT TBE PAINTINGS IRCLUDED TBE PRESENT EXHIBITION. It is, perhaps, a matter of certainty that each a collection jfplrturea as in now on exhibition at the corner of Twenty-tblrd street! and Fourth avenue mast at first glance attract it by many prettineaaes and pleasing cbaracteristica, by admirable combina- tions of color and good decorative effect. But the oftener and tbe louger we study its components we are impressed by the comparatively few works which possess any abiding art value, by the elltnnoss of idea underlying the vast majority and by their utter inadequacy to satisfy tbe requiroHients of a growing culture. The "old, old stories" which have so often m e t u s meet us again aod are not joys for- ever. Men who from time immemorial have painted certain obvious phase* and forms of nature or certain conventional types of face and stereotyped postures of body go on doing so, and we suppose will go on to tbe bitter end, and it becomes quite weari- some and discouraging to go hunting amid numbers of commonplace pictures forihose few which giv«j any evidence of active life and conscious motive. Mr. George Ianess, with his faults, is one of those artiste who never ttaguates. His pictures may be worse one year than another, may evince at times a false method or an extravagant conception, bat they are never barren or possessed of that utter monotony which leads oae to exclaim: "I am so dead tired of you!"' Always, to the poetic mind, they suggest something; they have in them what M. Jules Buisson calls "It arid* In terre;' tbey strive to embody the deep analogies between human feeling and landscape meaning, tbe relation between man and his natural environment. Mr. Inness's three works In t h e Acad- emy exhibition this year exemplify this endeavor. The best of them we think is "The Morning Hun" (450) snd tbe wont portion of it the sun Itself. "The power which convicts mv wakening sense of life." to quote Mr. Inneaa himself, is felt snd expressed in tbe pay tag*, in tbe strong treatment of light and shade and the blending of movement snd quietude; but the vis- ibie embodiment of the power, with its surrounding sky, is. to our thinking, crude snd turgid, and assert* itself too violently. In "The Rainbow" flaw) the rela lion of *kv to landscape la more harmoniously blended, but the idea of the work is hardly so well wrought out. In both, however, there Is a marked earnestness of motive, and our chief desire is that Mr. Inness would seek after s more adequate artistic expression. _ __ The work of Mr. A. H. Wysnt, on ths» other hand, manifests a subtle spprecintion of what we may call Ihe whispering of the earth. Tbe poetic charm of dim wood interiors, of quiet forest pools, of lisp- ing leaves and fleecy moving clouds, finds a response in his breast, and very truly does he con- vey his feeling for it. We may sometimes wish that Mr. Wyant bad gone farther, hut we never feel that he has tried to obscure our sense of what he has schleved. If he thinks that he has got as far as he dare safely go he stops rather than lose the suggestion alresdy conveyed. His three) works In the present exhibition are sll up to high water mark. -An Old Road, Evening" (411,sis full of the purest charm. " A Pool In the N o r t h W o o d s " (flOO) u mystic and exceedingly novel in tone, and "Late After noon" «a*l us possessed of a luminosity and grada- tion which no other work in the exhibition ap- proaches. Just In this connection we may give a word b y w a y of contrast to a work by Mr, Homer D. Martin - "Idling" <3T«>. Home of Mr. Martin's later work^ have been inordinately praised. We do not remem- ber to have seen It claimed for them that they are good in drawing or ID color, or in relation, or in com position, or. indeed, in anything at all definable. They possess, it would seem, a certain elusive and recondite art value which transcends art, and cannot be even suggested. They are the evolution of landscape from an Inner sowactoassjsssj which n*e* superior to all external conditions. Be It so I,et anv one ponder over this cited example of Mr Mar'ins genius, and he will, don titles*, to qiicte Mr. Herbert Hpenwr. persuade birnte.it into thinking that he tblake of Mr. Swsln Gilford « t-e«t work, this present ex- hibition contain* a forcible example. We have be- fore spoken of the depression and iBteilijrlbllity of this artist s work, ss well aa of tbe high technical skill and true understanding of relation snd r -noae in color which he evinces. "Dartmouth Moora"i*Aai it excelled in maay respects by no picture that we have lately seen. Ita tJry Is exceedingly floe Io cloud form, in gray tone snd In actual raotiou, and its landscape, which rn other bands would probably have been diffuse and monotonous, balanuea well. Mr. Oifford's otner works are admiraole.'.and all we long for from h i m i s a nobler conception of all that landscape may express when poetic feeling comes to the aid of realistic treatment Mr, Robert C. Minor baa the poetic feeling oa which we feel it our duty to inalat. Every true artist is a poet, only hta vehicle of expression differs from that of the poet proper, ami Juat aa tbe latter has. If he desire to be original, to seek for oe w forms and coin- binationa, so tbe painter should be cbaryof letting sentiment carry him Into anything reseinbliog repe- tition snd should study and reflect That Mr. Minor can tin tins lua Urge "Autumn ' (448) amply attests. It does not, perhaps, meet all requirementa; but It is full or liberal light snd harmonious color; It com- bines strength and delicacy, and If not an absolute achievement it ia at least a potent promise. " Octo- ber" (616) again is more habile and as well concen- trated, while "June Morning" (471 > conveys the elu- sive Impretswn of the time very tenderly and breatbea of tbo dim fresh vapors rising from the dewy mesdows. Among other landscaplsto we could call special at- tention to Mr. Bolton Jones, whoso pictures embody definite impressions and are freely handled; Mr. 8, Column, whose small " On the 8aco, White Moun- tains." (60S) la a strong and charming little gem, and Mr. Carl Brenner, who sends from Louisville •' Beech wood" (615), an excellent and pleasing work, good in study of *ree forma and in management of shadows. The same artist also contributes a sketch (660). which, high aa It is hung, gives evidence of quality and strength. Apropot of liangiog, we would s a y a word concern- ing two pictures by Mr. George Fuller which de- serve a place on the line. They are figures In land scspe—one representing a " Turkey Pasture" (481), tbe other called "By tbeWavaide" (490). Both are low in tone, but rich and warm-full of nature's quies- cent aontiment and the umbrageous mystery of even- log. In marine painting there is probably no man who baa evinced nioro determined progress, more felicit- ous versatility and more distinctly original concep- tion than Mr. Arthur Quart lev. One healthy alga in connection with biro is that be is never wholly satis- fled with his own work. To this year's exhibition ho contributes three pictures, each individual la idea. "An Afternoon In August" portrays a bras sag plscid under tbe generous sunlight of an August afternoon, bright and beautifully formed reefs rise from ita surface, aad fishing boats float lastly on Ita breast. Tbe harmony and balance are inimitable, and too work ia pervaded b y a truly poetical sugges- tion of dolce far niente on tbe ocean. In contrast to it 1a "A Squally Day at the Narrows" (387), gray In tone and fine in aky movement. The atmosphere is full of spray, and you can almost hear tbe welter and swash of the waves aa they dash up against the pier on which tbo sentinel paces to and fro. These are not pictures to please simply for the moment, but have aa earnest purport a n d a high value. Mr. J. a Nlooll contributes a work entitled "dosed In" (S70), the best wo have ever soon from him. The atmosphere to truly rendered, and tbo composition and color are excellent, tbo tee, perhaps, lacking a little In distinctive quality. These are the chief landscape aad marine pictures which call for special notice at present, In a concluding article we shall glance at the principal portrait and figure pictures, and it may atone ror a n y oversights now uninten- tionally made. _^ , "THE MOHAWK. 1 * AMUSEMENTS.

WALKS AS R0B1BWH CKDSOt, | Kdimrd Kina'i Letter to the Bonton Journal] We hear that the Prince of Wales, when ha waa In Paris, went to a fancy dress matinee (the latest social folly) as Robinson Crusoe, In bia dreas of skins, snd surmounted by the traditional umbrella. This created a great sensation. It may Interest you to know what some of the laates wore on that occa sion. One of them appeared in a dress of gold cloth embroidered wUb daisies made of pearls, and round the top of her corsage was a ruffle. Io gold lace. Another appeared as "Diana." in black satin, with silver stars scattered on It, and a peplum In crimson silk over It; in her nair were, twisted strings of real pearls and on her lorehead was a diamond crescent. This certainly Indicates luxury enough for a repub- lican society, and there Is no doubt that Paris Is even more than usually festive Just now. But London Is no whit soberer. Fancy all the noblemen in the city at a hall given hy a leading actress, in a theatre which is hired for her, and none of them going home until five in the morning. And that on Ash Wednesday. ...

A GLANCE AT T B E PAINTINGS IRCLUDED T B E PRESENT EXHIBITION.

I t i s , p e r h a p s , a m a t t e r o f cer ta in ty t h a t e a c h a collection j f p l r t u r e a a s in now on exhibi t ion a t t h e corner of Twenty- tb lrd s treet ! and Fourth a v e n u e m a s t at first g l a n c e at tract it by m a n y prett ineaaes and pleasing cbaracter is t ica , by admirable combina­tions of color and good decorat ive effect . But the oftener and tbe louger w e s tudy its c o m p o n e n t s w e are impressed by t h e comparat ive ly f e w works which possess a n y abiding ar t va lue , by t h e el l tnnoss of idea underly ing the vast major i ty a n d by their u t t er inadequacy t o sat isfy tbe requiroHients o f a growing cu l ture . The "old, old s tor i e s" which h a v e so often m e t u s m e e t u s again aod are not j o y s for­ever . Men w h o from t ime immemor ia l h a v e painted certain obvious phase* and forms of nature or certain conventional t y p e s of face and s tereotyped pos tures of body go on doing so , and w e s u p p o s e will go on to tbe bitter end, and it b e c o m e s qu i t e wear i ­s o m e and discouraging to go hunt ing amid n u m b e r s of c o m m o n p l a c e p ictures f o r i h o s e f e w which giv«j any ev idence of act ive life and c o n s c i o u s m o t i v e .

Mr. George I a n e s s , wi th his faults , is o n e o f those artiste who never t taguates . H i s p i c tures m a y be worse one y e a r than another , m a y e v i n c e a t t i m e s a false method or an extravagant concept ion , b a t t h e y are never barren or possessed of that ut ter m o n o t o n y which leads o a e t o e x c l a i m : "I a m s o dead t ired of you!"' Always , to the poet ic mind , t h e y s u g g e s t someth ing; t h e y have in them w h a t M. J u l e s Buisson cal ls "It arid* In terre;' tbey strive to e m b o d y t h e d e e p analogies b e t w e e n human fee l ing a n d landscape meaning, tbe relation between m a n and h is natural env ironment . Mr. Inness 's three works In t h e Acad­e m y exhibi t ion this year exempl i fy th i s endeavor . The bes t of them we think is "The Morning Hun" (450) s n d tbe w o n t portion of it the sun Itself. "The power which convicts m v wakening sense of l i f e ." to q u o t e Mr. Inneaa himself, i s felt snd e x p r e s s e d in tbe pay tag*, in tbe s trong treatment of l ight and s h a d e and the blending of movement snd q u i e t u d e ; but t h e vis-ibie embod iment of the power, with i ts surrounding sky , is. to our thinking, crude snd turgid, and assert* itself too violently. In "The Rainbow" flaw) the rela l ion of *kv t o landscape la m o r e harmonious ly blended, but the idea of the work is hardly s o well wrought out . In both, however , there Is a marked earnestness of motive , and our chief des ire i s that Mr. Inness would seek after s more adequate artist ic express ion. _ __

The work of Mr. A. H. W y s n t , on ths» other hand, mani fes ts a subtle spprecintion of what we m a y call Ihe whispering of the earth. Tbe poet ic c h a r m of dim wood interiors, of quiet forest pools , of l isp­ing leaves and fleecy moving c louds , f inds a response in h i s breast, and very truly d o e s h e con­vey his fee l ing for it. We m a y s o m e t i m e s wish that Mr. Wyant bad gone farther, hut we never feel that he has tried to obscure our sense of w h a t he has sch leved . If he thinks that he has go t a s far as he dare safe ly go he stops rather t h a n lose the suggestion a l r e s d y conveyed. His three) works In the present exhibit ion are sll up to high water mark. - A n Old Road, E v e n i n g " (411,sis full of the pures t charm. " A Pool In the North Woods" (flOO) u myst ic and exceed ing ly novel in tone, and " L a t e After noon" «a*l u s possessed of a luminosi ty and grada­tion which no other work in the exh ib i t ion a p ­proaches.

Just In this connect ion we m a y give a word b y w a y of contrast t o a work by Mr, H o m e r D. Martin -"Idl ing" <3T«>. Home of Mr. Martin's later work^ have been inordinately praised. We do n o t r e m e m ­ber to have seen It claimed for them that t h e y are good in drawing or ID color, or in relation, or in c o m position, or. indeed, in anything at all definable. They possess , it would s eem, a certa in e lus ive and recondite art value which t ranscends art , and cannot be even suggested. T h e y are the evolution of landscape from an Inner sowactoassjsssj which n*e* superior to all ex terna l condi t ions . B e It so I,et anv one ponder over this c i ted e x a m p l e of Mr M a r ' i n s genius, and he will, don titles*, t o qiicte Mr. Herbert Hpenwr. persuade birnte.it into thinking that he tblake

W e h e a r t h a t t h e P r i n c e o f W a l e s , w h e n ha waa In Paris , went to a fancy dress matinee (the latest social folly) a s Robinson Crusoe, In bia dreas of skins , s n d surmounted by the traditional umbrella. This created a great sensation. It m a y Interest you t o know what some of the laates wore on that occa s ion. One of them appeared in a dress of gold cloth embroidered wUb daisies made of pearls , and round the top of her corsage was a ruffle. Io gold lace . Another appeared as " D i a n a . " in black satin, with s i lver s tars scattered on It, and a peplum In crimson silk over It; in her nair were, twisted strings of real pearls and on her lorehead was a diamond crescent . This certainly Indicates luxury e n o u g h for a repub­lican soc iety , and there Is no doubt that Paris Is even more than usually festive Just now. But London Is no whit soberer. Fancy all the nob lemen in the c i ty a t a hall g iven hy a leading ac tress , in a theatre which is hired for her, and none of t h e m going h o m e until five in the morning. And that on Ash Wednesday .
