When tho traveler strikes Greece, and the Europoan states Oriental Wood-Carvers. [Sew York Commercial Advertiser.] The East Indians are naturally free- hnnded carvers. Long before the Chris tian era the Hindoos beautified tho in tenors of their temples and homes with the most intricate work of tho kind. The facility of carving has not left them, rad a block of teak wood under their chisels soon becomes tho bed of the most beautiful traceries and reproduces tho fora of the cast in all its variety of forms. The Oriental wood-carvers in one re spect are unequuled—they have origin ality of conception united with a power of execution which is wonderful. Thoy receive simply tho suggestions of tho ar tists on draughting paper with nono of the hundred minuthc of background supports and tho like, which are neces sary to tho workingmen hero. There they in truth uso their chisels os trashes, for their hands are firm. Thoy ire acquainted simply with the idea which is conveyed, and with one or two swops of the chisol a lily or a passion tower or a pomegranato lies imbedded in the wood as though it bad been wait ing simply to bo picked and enjoyed. But while they are unsurpassed in what isknown as emotional carving, they are it s loss at tho broad sweeps which are required in the decoration of large [ apartments or halls.
