THE DAIL1 EVENING TELEGRAPII PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1867.
STATUARY.
A Morning with Power.
A writer in Jours at Hmne describes a morn
ing spent with Hirain I'owers. We mako a
few extracts:
"Ve found ourselves standing in the imme
diate presence of his finished works, busts,
models, and statues; and at onco our confer
ence took form from them, lie conducted us
with him through the several rooms, in which
A large number of helpers were busilj en
gaged in forwarding the processes through
which the details of sculpture are carried on.
The rude laboriousness by which in their
earliest reductions the Monks from the quarry
are shaped into forms for the galleries, all falls
into the hands of artisans trained merely to
(Stone-cutting. My impulse was amusingly
mythologio to keep rehearsing particulars of
l'rometheiis for "the first man" seemed start
ing out from the clay in a score of uncouth
foims.
The models were placed in the midst of the
upright stones, iu view of all the workmen. At
first, it was a most energetio mallet which
struck away huge chips of marblo from the
shapeless mass, with a rollicking sense of haste
to deliver some beautiful being imagined to bj
imprisoned within It. 15ut before long, the
task was committed to more skilful care, and
the fresh journeyman treated it with gentler
measures of violence, and more temperate en
thusiasm. Then came the third in the line;
and he dealt with dainty compasses, and deli
cate files, making mysterious black spots at
exact depths, and precise widths, and measured
distances. These men, Mr. Powers assured us,
were his life-long companions. Lie had chosen
them, and trained them, and trusted them
for many years, until he could not do without
them. They were no ordinary hands, but be
longed to his artistio and professionally related
family.
With them, le remarked, rested his main
difficulty in returning to America; which, in
deed, lie declared most plaintively, he very
much desired to do. Hut he could not take
them with him. They had families, they spoke
no English, and they were peculiarly attached
to their own land. And he could not leave
them, for they were essential to his execution
of orders for such pieces as his own hand,
unaided, could never by any possibility meet;
and moreover, he was really interested in
them; he spoke feelingly, with an affectionate
glance around upon the faithful company, as
he added, he could not bear to have them scat
tered, they had followed his fortunes so long.
Still, he believed most resolutelyjthat he should
noma time behold his own home again.
He is truly American, and it is well that
gome oi Lm countrymen have generously re
membered it.
The domestio character of this interesting
man came out most attractively in one more
incident of our visit. An unfinished image of
Lis wife was standing among the other busts;
he had teen at work upon it lately. I re
marked upon the attractiveness of her truly
line face, and he told me whe it was. And
then he led me to a bust he had made of each
of his two daughters, and oalled my attention
to the different dispositions as expressed in his
wonderful marbles. I could not withhold my
admiration to find that even in busy years he
had consecrated time, as well as the ministries
of his great art, in order to contribute to his
home pleasures. He had told me that it took
about live months to complete one such figure
as these.
He appeared pleased with my congratula
tions for having bo exquisite a remembrance of
those thus dear to him. "Yes, you know we
have to stop these young people along here
Bomevhere," he remarked with a kind of pen
fiive affection in his tones; "they grow so, ther
get airax frnm r ' " hen lie went to a
private desk, and took out a small hand of an
Infant, cut in whitest marble, chubby, dim
pled, lying among Uowers on a leaf. I never
Baw anything more exquisitely done. "There,"
he said, "I stopped that one" pointing over
his shoulder at the bust of the youngest
daughter "when she had only that to take
hold of 1"
My heart went out for that affectionate
father, as he softly handled this memento of
his child, now a woman grown, then only an
uneasy babe of two months' existence. What a
Btudy in after years I what a reminiscence of
infantile beauty I Take any man or woman
this rough, veined, wrinkled, busy hand of
yours and mine; how much of good and ill it
has done sinoe it was innocent as that little
one in white I
What more can I now say of this morning
with Hiram Powers, to convince my readers
that it was one ot the most delightful and
most instructive of all my life f He, who is
now recognized in Florenoe as the chief among
living sculptors, is just this unaffected, un
spoiled man I have sketched. The pure senti
ment, the genial converse, the thoughtful in
telligence, and the sincere heartiness of that
interview cannot be forgotten. If this honored
ecnlptor ever does return to his old home on
this side of the ocean, he will assuredly find
friends he dreams not of, among all those who
prize true worth and admire real genius.
M. Fould'e Death Camed by a Cigar.
By way of a caution to smokers, a Paris paper,
the kxilut J'ubiw, tries to make out that the
last cigar smoked by M. Fould was the cause of
his death:
Nicotine, the redoubtable poisonous prltfciplo
Of tobacco, acts as a heart poison. Iu experi
menting on animals, our eminent physiologist,
Claude Utrnard, observed that it paralyzed the
ceutrul organ of circulation thence sudden
death. A dose insufficient to kill nevertheless
produces symptoms analoROUB to thoseof angina
pectoris. One of the niost distinpulnhed phyBi
ctune ot our time, M. lieau, who died two years
since, read a memoir at the Academy of Sciences
in lbC2, hi which he showed, by a very con
eiderable. number of observations made durlug
his practice, the Influence of tobacco smoking,
and especially in the form of cigars, iu pro
due inn anqiria pectoris. He remarked that the
clear chli ily has this dreadful result upon itn-prei-sionablo
persons, who led sedentary lives,
nd whose mlmlB are constantly on the stretch.
Two years later another physician, Dr. E.
Pecuisue, add wed a series of upward of a hun
dred cases respecting the iternicious action on
the functions of the hcurt caused by srnukluir
tobacco. This is now an accepted point in
medical science, and there is scarcely any prac
titioner who does not prohibit ttiuukiug, or, at
least, who fails to recommend the greatest
moderation in it to such ot his patients as are
liable to even the slightest perturbation of tue
functions ot the heart. Now, M. Fould, who
was a smoker arid subject to palpitations of the
heart, evidently had a slight attack of annina
pectorii in the morning, to which he paid little
attention, and then, iu the eveutni?, a violent
and mortal attack. In the Interval a cigar was
tmoked who can say that this cigar was not
the laHt straw which broke, etc.f
In this counection it may be stated that for
the hut few years the French Emperor has ab
ctalned from smoking, under the positive prohi
bition of his physician.
The eolicitor of Miss Burdett Coutts has
made a publio appeal to the Bishop of Cape
town to relinquish the endowments of his see,
n the ground that they were provided for a
totally different purpose from that to which
he is no applying them. To this the biBhop
replies that he "could not give up the endow
pro, over which L haj no mtrol."
NAl'OLKOiVS WAR PREPARATIONS.
Imperial Leltere to Victor Emanuel.
tom the J'aris J rettc, Oil. 19.
It if paid thst the Kmperor, In sending to Mar
shal Niel onlers to adopt I tie necessary measures
lor embarking an expeditionary corps, it re
quirril, forwarded at the same lime to Victor
li:iiniiucl a letter written in the niont pressing
terms, to remind him that their two signatures
were ttUi.vcl to the Convention of Heptcmber,
and thst honor required them each to observe,
or have icRpocted, the engagements made. It
l, moreover, said that the Kmperor, being In
formed ot the latiinnige used by the Chevalier
Ntfirn at Paris, alter having, canctioued tha
fending of Hie despatch, which was com
municated in a semi-official manner to that
diplomatist, addicted direct to Victor Emanuel
another, ni very rrep.iiii'j lanc;ua?c, culliog on
bun to form tw illusion as to tUc obligations
in. posed on France by her honor, and not to
place her under the necessity of turning hor
nrniS aaninst her former ally. That communi
cation Is paid to have (-mated a pieat embarrass
ment in the mind ot Victor Kmanuel, and to
have determined him to refuse his a sent to the
invasion of the l'outitical territory, which his
Slinihlcri proposed.
The reply oi King Victor Emanuel was such
ns might be expected. It may be summed up
in thexe words: "I have honestly executed the
Convention of the loth ot September; all that
whs o: ible I have done; I shall continue to do
all thiit I am able," An understanding appeared
yesterday likely to be established betweeu tho
Cdbiiicts of Florence and Paris in consequence
of the assui at. ceH given by M. Nigra, and
which wem wpcc.tcd . to be ratified by M.
lUtii.zi. Not only were promises givcu of
Increased viniii,ne! and energy in watch! tig
the Pontifical territory, but hopes were en
tertained thai i lie Cabinet ot Florence might
he induced to adopt, as wai demanded by France,
measures ior bringing back to their regiments
the sold 101 s whose desertion was more or lees
real, closing the offices for the enrolment of
volunteor,Hnd prohibiting public subscriptions.
Whether tbcre has been at Florence, as rumored,
h Ministerial modification in a radical sense, or
whvther M. Kita.zi, while preserving his port
fol'o, hns made a purely evasive reply, declining
to make any precise engagement and merely
civiug Htsurances of sincerity, the hopes which
hud been raised by the language of M. Negra
were soon dissipated, and the French Govern
ment has thought necessary to prepare for all
eventualities.
The Army Mutter.
From the Salut Public of Lyons, Oct. 19.
The division of General Dumont. of the army
of this city, yesterday received orders to leave
this morning. The ofliceru may, it they wish,
receive ut once the whole or a portion of the
allowance to which they have a right on com
mencing a campaign. Light traius will pass
through the city to-day to convey a brigade
from the camp of Chalons to the south. All
these troops are intended to embark for Ci vita
Vtcehia. The intervention, which yesterday
ecning uppeaved doubtful at I'aris, is, there
lore, now dech'ed on.
F,'Mn ike Covrricr dc Lyon, Oct. 19.
The following is the composition of the French
expeditionary corps now being organized on the
31editerrancan coast in view of the eventuali
ties. First Division of Infantry, General Dumont,
First, Twenty-ninth, Fifty-ninth, and Eightieth
rceiments, and Second battalion of Chasssnrs,
Second Division, General de Failly, Third,
Twenty-second, Thirty-eighth, and Sixty-stith
regiments and Tenth battalion of Chasseurs.
Third Division, being formed in Algeria; six
batteries Artillery, with three companies of
Sappers, one for each division.
The French Commuuder. In-Chief.
FromVuZl'nris J'atrie, Oct. 19.
Three brigades of infantry, It is f aid, and seve
ral bntteries of mounted artillery, under the
command of General de Failly, aide-de-camp
to the Emperor, were designated to receive
omers to proceed to Marseilles aud Toulou,
there to etnbatk. We only know as yet that
General Dumont, commanding Ibe 6th Divi
sion of the 4th Army Corps, and brigade Gene
rals Doeus and Duplessis, commanding btigudes
of the active division, form part of the con
tingent. eolonel, and return e'd a general of division. At
Magenta, aud especially at Soiferino. in 18,"9,
where he commanded the 2d Division of In
fantry of the 3d Corns, that of Niel, General
Failly behaved admirably, and fought with rare
vigor. Two colonels out cf his four regiments
aud four chefs de battalion were killed under
his eyes. Aide-de-camp of the Emperor.'aud ou
the reserve list for some months pat, General
Fail Iv, who is in his sixty-seventh year, is still
full of vigor, energy, and talent.
Liability of Kxpresa Companies.
A case was recently tried in Brooklyn In
which an express company contested a claim of
about two thousand dollars for the loss of a
trunk and its contents. The defense set up was
that on the buck of the receipt given to the
owner of the trunk it was stipulated that the
company would not hold itself liable for any
jewelry nor for any value above one hundred
dollars, bucn pruned notice, it was couteuued,
was a contract which, when accepted, botmd
the owner of property entrusted to their care.
The Judge held that in the hurry of railroad
travel it would be impossible for every person
to read the printed matter on the back of such
receipts before accepting them, and he therefore
instructed tue lury to ruing in a verdict, which
they did, for the lull amount claimed. This will
be looked upon by tne travelling publio as a
very just decision. If it were otherwise it would
be a profitable' business for the employes of
express companies to lose the trunks of travel
lers, very few of which contain as little as ono
hundred dollars' worth of wearing apparel and
other necessaries. A lady's silk dress would
almost reach that amount lu value. iV. Y.

An Akcient Darkey. The Yazoo (Miss.)
Banner, of the lth ult., announces the death
of John Corbin (Old John), the negro fisher
man in that city. Old John was born arid
reared in the Corbin family of Virginia. He
was said to have been the servant of the
grandfather of the present Dr. Corbin, who
was Attorney-General of George III in the
colony of Virginia. His age is supposed to
have been one hundred and seven years. The
late change in the condition of his race had no
effect whatever ou the manners of Old John.
He retained to the last the politeness of the
good "Old Virginny nigger."
New TeiiEorath Link. The work on the
telegraph line from fct. l'aul, Minn., to New
Orleans is being pushed forward vigorously.
Several gangs of hands are at work placing
the poles in position; other material is being
provided for, and it is expected that the entire
line between Keokuk aud Minneapolis will be
completed and in working order before winter
sets in. The whole line to New Orleans will
perhaps be finished before the close of 18U8.
