THE TKLFAIK FAMILY.
On Jan. 9, 1786, or just 100 years ago.
Edward Telfair was eluded Governor ot
Georgia in succession to Gov. Elbert.
This founder of a family, whose name has
become incoroorated with the history ot
tbe State, came trom Scotland when ijuitc
a young man, and. settling in Savannah,
engaged in mercantile pursuits. By a
high and honorable cour.se, untiring per
severance and unfaltering industry he
rose, within a period of 20 years, to a
position ot wealth and influence, and to
the enjoyment ol the lull confidence of his
feilow-citizeus.
When tbe dispute be ween tbe colonies
and the mother country culminated in a
declaration of war Telfair, now a man of I
middle ace and of established position, |
took a decided course upon the great ;
questions which agitated America, and j
openly allied himself with tbe friends of i
liberty. From the time that be attended j
the tirst meeting of the •‘Liberty Boys” I
he had been in uniform, consis'em and j
earnest in bis efforts to protect, make j
tree and elevate the State ot his adoption. |

TELFAIR ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES.
(Fioi a P otograpl
iss:oner to treat wjth the Indians, he |
bad established a re] utatim for integ
rity of character and captutv for'busi
ness that was now to be rewarded with
no less a public recognition that his de
ration to the highest office l) the Slate,
ONE OF THE EARLY GOVERNORS.
The period of Gov. Teluir’a first term
f office was one which demanded the
exercise of sagacity, {votnpmess and
firmness, and possessinga ripe and large
public experience, he wis enabled to pre
side over the State vitb wisdom and
dignity. The tro'uble vitb the Creek lu
dians excited the gravost apprehensions,
and it was to the prompt and vigorous
measures adopted rv Gov. Telfair that
Georgia was indebed for preservation
from a long andbloedv war.
When President Washington visited
Savannah on May ;3, IT9I and journeyed
thence to Augusta, then the capital of
the State, be was met out of the city bv
Gov. Teliair, at tne bead ol a cavalcade
of officers and citizens, and tendered a
welcome in behalf of the State.
Such waa the fouutier of the Telfair
lam lv. whose hivme in Savannah tor
many long years was a centre ol culture,
refinement and d'gn fijd ease. The old
mansion now incorporated into a vast
museum of art, perpetuates the beneficent
spirit of those w hose piesence around its
beartb constituted a nucleus for all
that was good and noble in the
Savannah of the past. Asa
home it is no more. Its
halls are silent. But the publio spirit
which has devoted Its time-honored walls
•o toe noblest of nll causes—the improve
ment ot the public tasie and the elevation
*1 the public mind—nas converted it into
• perpetual monument ot that love which
Ibe Tebairs entertained Tor their native
elty. Tue humanizing influence of a once
happy borne seeks a wider and more ex
teuued fi-ld. The home is merged in the
vchool of art.
MISS TELFAIR’S BEQUEST.
There is abundant prool that the late
Miss Mary i'eliair long contemplated the
disposition she subsequently made of her
Property. Mne earnestly ’ desired and
sought the improvement of the city, and
while her life illustrated thy desire, in
her death she set the seal to it. All euo
s‘iju- nt efforts to prove a different motive
laded signally. H-r demise took place
on June 2, 1575, anil amongst other m ta

iHISTOtor THE WILL.
Considerable,igatioo ensued on tbe
, publication of fi conditions of the will,
| which occupiHhe public attention, as
: a cause celrbrc, i*, ieral years. AVnen
{ the will was twitted for probate a
j caveat was isgl at tbe instance of
George Noble J<s. Alfred Cutbbert and
Mary G. flarristand a formal protest
was entered by jgustus I*. Wetter, bus
band of Albe'rjA C. Telfair, grand
tiieee of the dotted. Monomania was
the main groumjtsumed lor a plea to set
aside the will; f that veil which should
have kindly tolds between
the public andloss family differences
with which the ter world can have no
concern was ruly torn aside. The suit
drugged its b* length through the
courts, from afal to new trial, until
Anally a judgmt was obtained sustain
ing tbo will.
The exterior <tbe family mansion re
mains unchatigiin ’orm or feature. Its
familiar front, liking towards Telfair
place, bearing Dil; letters the inscrip,
tion prescribed ftAe testatrix, has sim
ply become ot the new acade
my.
THE OLD lAfUION REMODELED.
The mansid. alrays a substantial, ra
ther than aoarotjteoturally pretentious
dwelling, no* oontitutes the vestibule of
the annex, nd ttta designer should be
credited 4th ai amazing amount
of courac* in tius undertaking, by
the sinipli proceis of enlargetneut, to
construct b edifiet that is itself a work
ot art by icorporaing into the tout en
semble alt>ld tamiif mansion of Colonial
times, Bcd. hnweter, was the expressed
w-ish of te devisor, and it must be ad
mitted tt tbe wort has been as success
ful as, uder the lircumstanoes, could
have bee anticipattd.
The dilensions of the old mansion were
65 feet i thread th b; 60 feet in depth.
The tirsnddition or annex, made in the
rear waa small ha/! for a’marble stair
case—til-proof—l6Teet inf depth. Then
tbe anr:K proper far the galte y'and ball
ol caststhe latter partly underground,
and flnjroof, 60 fet square; and the stu
dio anes. 27x60 feet, making the en
tire .‘nsth of the building 168
feet /by 60 feet In width.
The stdioannex consists of two large
studits with four skylights— ona studio
for t2b Director, and one for students.
Thejasenent contains a large furnace
for ie mating ol both galleries and the
bal f cists arid janitors’ rooms.
Tbe bright of the picture gallery is SO
let to.be glass ceiling, and is covered
b a ire-broof skylight 86 feet square,
by W. E. Wilson.]
with plates of glass 10 feetlong, by about
% inch in thickness. The first and sec
ond story constitute the dwelling of the
director.
IN THE MAIN BUILDING.
The general style of the building is
classic, pure, simple, but beautiful. The
coloring of the hall in toe old mansion,
which serves as an eutrauce to the new
galleries, has a gold tone, with a dado of
Pompeiian red, and a broad black band.
The wood work is of a bronze color. The
entire hall is lit by a skylight, beneath
which is a deep cove, tinted in a quiet
gray, bringing’tbe observer to tho upper
cornice ol the Parthenon frieze. This
frieze has been made permanent by a
course of treatment peculiarly that of the
director, Prof. Brandt. The exquisiteness
of the tinting consists in tliures
being relieved in a light tone re
sembling white marble, as It might appear
iu Greco beneath an afternoon sun; re
lieved from the background hy being
tinted in deeper yellows, fading into a
yellowish gray on the lower part. The
Hooting ot the ball is of white marble,
resting on wrougnt-iron beams and brick
arches, laid In Portland cement. Toe
walls are covered with a portion of the
photographs collected by Prof. Brandt in
Europe—copies from pictures iu the va
rious celebrated galleries.
As the visitor proceeds along the en
trance hall, examining the photographs
on either hand, he pauses as he finds
himself fronting the anta of the Hall of
Oasts. The entablatures of this entrance,
as also of tha entrance to the hall of paint
ings above, are Corrinthian in style, and
supported hy bronze columns, the effect
of the gold metal being complete.
THE HALL OF CASTS.
The ceiling of this hall is supported by
four beautilully proportioned bronze col
umns while Ibe floor, as weii as the stairs
leading to this bail, and also those by
which the asceut is made to the picture
gallery above, are of white marble.
in the centre of the Hall of Casts, the
salient feature of the whole, is the Toro
Farnese group. The story of this group
is well known. It Is only necessary,
therefore, to state that it consists of the
Bull and lour other Ueroio-sized figures,
viz: Antiopc, bertwo sons, Zetbue anti
Ampbion, and Diroe. This celebrated
work ol art was executed by two distin
guished sc.ilpto r s of toe Kuodian school,
Appol ion iris and TaurUoo*. It was found
amoug the ruins ol the Baths of Cara
oalla, at Borne, about A. D. Into, and be
cuma the property of the Farnese larnily,
whose heirs sold it to the Naples Mu
seum. It is plac 'd on a beautiful marble
pedestal 10 feet square, and 3 feet 7 inches
high, beneath a glass dome, through
whicn a most picturesque light lalls upon
it from the gallerv skylight above. Be
sides the Toro group this ball contains
nnmbereof casts collected from tne most
fatuous statues in the Naples Museum,
the Vatican, the Laterau, and Capitaline
Museum, the Uflzt Palace in Florence,
the Berlin Museum, the Palace of the
Louvre in Paris, and the British Museum
in London.
THE PICTURE OALLKRY.
Ascending to the picture gallery the
visitor Hods a hall which, though small
as compared with other halls devoted to
the same purpoae, la yet. in beauty ol con.
strtiotlon. its appointments, its height, its
deligotmlly blended coloring, subdued yet
perfect light, the peer of anv ball in the
world, its beautiiitl tapestried paneling*,
brought.from Munich, have been too often
referred to to need further comment now.
huffier it to say that the bull of painting
is a miniature display of artistic skill.

THRONG THE ACADEMY.
In assending the marble staircase from
the Hall of Lasts to tbs picture gallerv, a
large and very striking vase is observed.
The original of tots vase is in ibe Maples
museum, and was found at Gaeta, where
the fishermen used tt as a mooring at
whicn to make fnst their boat ropts.
This is plainly seen, as portions ot the
beautiful bas-reliel ate worn away. The
relief representsMerourv presenting Ba t
ebus to the nymph Xiza, fauns and
sai.rs in tne procession, in their wild,
rollicking mirth, arc superb figures. It
was executed in the happiest period of
Greek art, as the Greek Inscription on the
upper part of the vase indicates, "Sal
pion. the Athenian, made this.” Direc
tor Brandt ordered the vase expressly,
and it cost the Telfair Academy the in
significant sum ot sl3. Tue picture gal
leiy is the crowning beauty of the Aoad
emy. The visitor’s drst impression, prob
ably, is that the eolleution is small, c in
pared with the Morgan gallery ill New
York, of winch one work alone brought
$41),000. Director Brandt carried with
ban to Europe $20,000 with which t" make
the collections lor tne Academy. Briefly,
the catalogue Of the expenditure 1* us
lollows:
Tue fire stone statutes iu tront of the
aoadcmv, Phidias, Uaptiael. Michael An
gelo, Kubciis and Kenihrandt, are by
Profs. Victor lilgner and Wagener, of
Vienna. All the casts, etchings and en
gravings, Japanese bronzes and embroid
ery, tbe wood carvings uy the Florentine
artist Mariana Coppedc, all his photo
graphs, direct from original paintings and
woi ks ol art by the best masters, and the
famous eight large wall decorutions. IN
feet long by Of.-tt 0 inches high, by Di
rector ijebrandolpb, of tbe Stuttgardl
Academy of Art, which graced toe prin
cipal hail of the International Exhibition
at Munich in ISS3. The public is already
aware that these are tboriginals, two of
which the Director of the Kensington
Museum induced rchtandolpb to copy for
him, and which arc now nn tbe walls of
that museum.
FAMOUS PAINTINGS.
To this catalogue are added seven or
eight fine oil paintings—“ Too Belies ot
the Brave.” by Arthur Hacker, already
well known to many in Savannah; a
touching story told with so much pathos
that It appeal* to every Mouthern heart—
a set uion uu peace.
“The Farmer’s Protest,” by Bruett, of
Dus-eidorf, Illustrating the following
story: A number ol gentlemen meet at
a government law oflloe in Prussia and
are “interviewed” by the farmer through
whoso land they have laid out a railroad,
tor a settlement of tbe account. While
the expression of each individual face
would delight a disciple of l.ava
ter, nothing could ho better than
that of the President of the vil
lage, who thinks that tho road should
not run through the acre and a half, on
which nlaoldaunt was born ami bad re
sided for years. Tbe extreme amusement
evinced by the assistant engineer at this
simplicity forms a striking contrast with
tbo face of the old gentleman in the fore
ground, who realizes that it will cost him
some addltioual thousands as the result
of t he suit.”
Space will not permit a description of
all the pictures, a lid hardly a mention of
their titles. " The wild boar brought to
bay,” by Guidos. Matfe, ol Munich, a
beautiful specimen of zngel arf.
“A flock of sheep grazing,” a line land
scape !>v Carl Oesterly.nt Hamburgh.
“A Fiord in Norway,” another large
picture by Braith; a Minty of sheep from
nature. Portraits ot Gen. Lawtou and
Gen. Jackson bv Director Brandt. Very
t ruthful representations ot the two gen
tlemen whose faces are so well known in
Bavuunah.
in addition tbe director has also placed
on the walls, reproductions in color, after
Carl Werner, of pictures of the Nile; the
Acropolis, of Athens, and "Ilildebrandt’s
Travels Around the World.” There is
also n fine, full-length portrait of Mrs.
Brandt,by her husband.Tbe sheen and ’olds
ot the black satin robe, the delicate flesh
color ol the face, together with the life
like expiession of the eyes, are singularly
true to nature.
There are also five picture portraits of
ex-President Davis, Gen Robert K. Lee,
“Stonewall” Jackson, Gen. Joseph K.
Jobneioue and Gen. Beauregard, by
M Guillaume.
This email collection of pictures is cer
tainly not yet what one might expect in
m a picture galierv, but is suscpptfbfo ol
being blade by the people of Bavaivnifn
themselves, in a few years, a most impor
tant. feature of th'i city.
THE INTERIOR OF THR GALLERY,
The gallery is pronounced by compe
tent judges a work of art in Used l . As
one passes through tbe anta, witu its Hun.
ly proportioned bronze columns and pi
