Mr. Farnys present studio in Cincinnati is a place rich in Indian trappings from the FarWest, and in the various objects that constitute the surroundings of an artist of the presentday. He is an accomplished amateur actor and musician, and a linguist conversant with mostof the languages of Europe. The Silent Guest, a picture belonging to Judge Force, of Cincin-nati, representing a well-known frequenter of the Over-the-Rhine beer-gardens, is perhaps thebest of his works in oil. The Idyl, herewith reproduced by the kind permission of the owner,a lady of Cincinnati, is a good specimen of the artists poetical sentiment, as well as of hisskill in the use of the pen. The phototype, however, owing to the unavoidable short-comingsof the process, does not do full justice to its H\M H,l, ///J 1 i r 7; A|3#fJ \N v! 1 \ -s I 71/ f-^r # r 1 AN IDYL.
