FINE ART FURNITURE .
SINCE the time of the Great Exhibition of 1851 the English nation may be said to have devoted far greater attention to the subject of art education than was the case previous to the holding of that great show , representing as it does the principal productions of tho world . It may havo been that , the exhibits of onr country couv pared unfavourably with those of our neighbours , and that it there , fore became necessary from a commercial point of view to devote
special attention to the snbject ; or it may have been that the exhihition of so many works of art itself created a taste and demand , which , bv the laws of nature , must meet a corresponding facility for supplv . Bnt whatever the canse may have been , there can be noqa «* s . tion that dnring the past quarter of a century the subject has received great , consideration alike from the general public and the State
itself , as evidenced by the largo grants of money which have been made forTraining Schools and Art Museums . While it is unquestionably true that the lessons of our art intrnctors may require frequent repetition before they shew any practical results , it cannot be denied that already there are evidences of some advance , a more general desire for artistic productions being apparent . It has been
said that tbe association of trne art with the familiar articles of every day life will create an influence which will act more susceptibly en the general pnblic thin any other means in the artistic education of the nation . For this reason we think that the production of " artistic" furniture , which during tho last three or four years has become really a special feature with many manufacturers , is to be
commended . Before this class of furniture can become anything like popular or of general use , it will be necessary to show it is as useful and substantial as tho class we have been accustomed to in our houses , nnd this we consider no very difficult task . Wo lately bad the pleasure of insnecting the Factory and Show-room of Mr . Stringer , of 209 and 211 Old-street , and were fnlly satisfied on the subject . At
present the principal attention is devoted to drawing-room furniture , of which some very handsome designs were shown ns , particularly some cabinets , corner-cabinets , screens , & o . It is no little gratifica . tion to purchasers , orevions to spending their money in furniture , to be able to inspect the goods from time to time in the course of their manufacture , and thus to see tbe class of article they are paying for
all of which can be done at Mr . Stringer's establishment , where special attention is also p-u'd to the production of furniture from customers' own designs . Very much depends on the class of wood of which tbe several articles are made , more particularly in the manufacture of " ehonised " goods , soft wood sometimes being used as the basis , and proving a miserable failure , after but little use ,
so that some amount of consolation can be derived from a personal knowledge that nothing but mahogany has been used—a fact easily ascertainable while the work is in progress , where it is possible to visit the manufactory . Indeed every care seems to he taken by Mr . Stringer to turn out a good article ; solid wood is used , so thafc the dangers of veneers ,
particularly in hot climates , are avoided , while as regards the truly artistic view of the matter , it is only necessary to say that the articles aro made from designs , and under the supervision of firstclass artists ; the cost of production , carried on under one roof being minimised as far as possible . In conclusion , we can bufc advise our friends to pay a visit to this Factory , if only for the purpose of
obtaining a little knowledge of the manufacture of furniture , feeling assured they will be interested , if nofc instructed , in the time thev may devote to looking round . The stock not being confined to " fine art furniture , " many other articles may be inspected , and information on furniture matters gererally obtained .
In the legislative investigation into Freemasonry during the anti-Masonic agitation in Pennsylvania , the late Thaddeus Stevens had tinder examination a certain supposed Master of a Lodsre . " What is the initial proceeding
in a Lodge ? " inquired Stevens . " The Lodge is opened with prayer , " was the immediate answer . " State the proceedings at the initiation of a candidate , " said Stevens , to which was answered the following : — " Mr . Stevens , if on the day of A . D . 18— , you bad been worthy , you
would have become a member of Lodge , in , and would have been initiated in all the secrets and mysteries connected with the Fraternity , and then possessed a knowledge that , except one becomes an initiate , no man will ever possess . " What followed , hints the Keystone , to
which we are indebted for the story , may be more easily npprecinted than described . The witness having thns effectually sat upon the cross-examining counsel , himself sat down . Some years previously Stevens had been
proposed in one of the Lodges of Pennsylvania as a candidate for admission into the ranks of Freemasonry , and had been rejected—a circumstance which had not been forgotten , as he fondly hoped it would have been .
