As interesting as anything in the magazine is
Professor Coppce's paper on Jasmin, "The Last
of the Troubadours," the Provencal barber-poet,
known to most English readers solely through
Longfellow's fine translation of his exquisite
poem, "The Blind Girl of Castcl-Cuillc:"
Jacques Jasmin was born at Agen, the chief
town of the Department of Lot-ct-Garonne. It
is worth nothing that the elder Scaliger died
and the younger was born here, bceau.se their
fame teems to have dwelt in the memory and
affected the imagination of Jasmin. Ho be
came, he says, a dreamer by the fountain when,
lie was told" that "a famous writer, Jules-Cesar
bcnligor, hud made his immortal verses chime
with the sound of its silver wave."
We are indebted to one of his earlier poems,
"Mous Sonbenis" (mes souvenirs), which ap
peared in 150, for a simple and touching ac
count of his early career; he describes the hard
whips and extreme poverty of his youth, and
elves a humorous account of his peccadilloes.
The Jasmins, for generations, had the unfortu
nate habit of dying in the almshouse, and he
touchingly describes the parting with his poor
old grandfather, as, overcome by poverty and
picknes, he 6ets oil tottering lor the same
final resting-place. Onco the Jasmin
family were without bread, aud his
mother's wedding ring, en dernier
ressort, went to the pawnbroker's to furnish a
meal, add when it caine, how the children
laughed aud shouted, and ate, oblivious of the
morrow ! The furniture of the old room, how
meagre ! Then come his lessons at the church
seminary or charity school, and the story of his
progress; in ilx months he had learned to read,
nix months after he was an acolyte in the mass,
again six months pass, and ho is a simmer in the
choir, intoning the Tctnlum Ergo. A
comic account follows of his llr'st love
scrape; he is caught and locked up,
but passes the time in stealing the preserves of
the superior an unpardonable siu; and thus, six
mouths alter, ho is driven away accursed.
At length, behold him iu the maisonette blew;
apprentice to the barber, to learn "the silver
secrets of the razor and the comb." But
while he learned to make and dres3 wigs,
to cut hair and to shave, the burning passion
of song came upon him. His leisure time
was passed in reading, but ho revolved
poems in his mind aud sang them even with the
scissors or razor iu his hand. He read Florian
aud Lucra; Lmninil, fell in love with the lan
guage of Estelle, and determined to write in
"that sweet patois which she spoke so charm
ingly." With a crowd he went to the theatre,
and he was In ccstacics at the play, the music,
the scenes; ah,
" que tic pais nnnvela
Oh coumo y canton blen! quln parla dous ct
tenrtre."
With such simple events, a double existence, ho
Eays, was engendered within him; the oue crav
ing a solitude in which ho "dreamed a thou
sand sweet things," the other seeking the tray
world with its myriad pleasures. At eighteen
he married, dfesscd for tlffc occasion in his
"dyed cap, blue coat, ana coarse smrt wita a
calico front." Then in the hey-dey of youth,
and feeling the aillatus of poetry, the question
naturally arose whether he should shave or sing
for a living; but seeing iu a country paper the
sage couplet:
'Pegasus was the horse that bora
Poets to the almshouse iloor,"
k made his final determination that he would
Ehave for a living and sing for pleasure, aud he
never deviated from this determination.
This is a very simple recital, taken from the
souvenirs, but they are throughout illustrative of
the man; proud of his poverty, proud of his
trade, and proud of his verses.
His first published work, aud one which im
mediately gave him renown, was Lou Chalihari
(Le Charivari), a mock-heroic poem, conceived
without a knowledge of Homer and the schools,
60 correctly, and executed so powerfully, that,
in the opinion of Nodier, if contests the prize
with the Lutrin of Boilcau and La Secchia ii'a
pila the rape of the bucket) of Tassoui. In 1835
appeared his little pastoral epic L'Abuglo de
Castcl-cuille (the Blind Girl of Castel-Cuille),
of which Leon de Lavergno speaks as "Cette
touchante histoire qui a fait verscr tant
de larmes sur touto la lluue des
Pyrenees." Although it has been ren
dered by Longfellow in English as well
as both Idioms would admit, there are a
frebhness and naturalness in the btory, antt a
harmony and tenderness in the language of the
original, which are not even approached in the
translation. In 1840 he gave to the world his
Franconneto (Franconnette),which ho dedicated
to the city of Toulouse, and which eminent
critics have considered his best poem. The elite
of Toulouse had given him a banquet in 1830,
and the President had offered as a sentiment,
"The adopted son of the city of Toulouse Jas
min." This poem was his response.
In 1810 he published his Mallro VInoucento
(.Crazy Martha), which, If not so much a work
of varied art, is a still more touching 6tory than
Franconnctte. The next year appeared Lea
Diur. Freres Jitimanx (Lousdns fra.is bessoits).
and In 1849, La Semaine d'un Fits (.La sonimauo
d'un til).
We have mentioned only his principal poems;
Lis minor verses are all striking and beautiful;
but we must pass them by, to say that, with all
. ibe Mnmlicitv. causality, and freshucss of
the improvisatorc. In seeming, the poetry of
Jasmin -is in reality luorouKiuy lauoieu mm
i-iuifif. It pomes. Indeed, fresh from the heart,
nnd speaks to the heart, it is In the language of
the people; there is no rhetorical artifice; he was
iL'iioraut of the schools, but. like a skilful
r.iiiriipr. be works bv rules, although self-taught
lie makes the cartoon, he studies his persons
aud groups from life, he spreads his canvas, and
I p snnrp nn labor to make his figures speak and
live before us. His poems are thus cabinet
pictures of rare truth auci rare iimsu
Them Is a missaifc- in his life which !!
Instates Ids biffh nnnreciation of the labor justly
demanded by the art of poetry, and In which he
speaks admirably for himself. Tnere was a cer
tain revrotte, a peasant poet, like himself, a
jiot'ur of the department of Henuilt, who seut
him a Christmas challenge In 1847 to recite
verses In the style of the old trombadours, at the
rublic games in Montpelier. Peyrotte proposed
that four persons kuown to literature should
name three subjects, that the poets should be
shut up for twenty-four hours to treat them,
and then come forth and compete for the prize
in public recitation. This, challenge was made

"So mv mnse declares Itself Inttdvanee conquered,

"Jacques Jasmin.
"P. S. Now that yon know the muse, In two words,
know the man. I love glory, but the success of
another never disturbs my sleep. J. J."
Next to this eclf-rcspect and this palns-taklnj?
devotion to his muse, the most striking charac
teristic of the poet is wonderful versatility.
Most poets perform best in a single part; Jasmin
is not only equally felicitous In the 'grave and
the gay, but he so Intermingles both that his
power over the reader is greatly enhanced
thereby. I le passes witli perfect command from
laughter to tears, from the c profundi to the
Ejtaltavi. Add to this that he was a great actor,
as well as a great dramatist. With a singularly
mobile face, effective natural gestures, clear
pronunciation, aud u nobly modulated voice, lie
recited and acted his own poems, to the great
delight nnd amid the enthusiasm of thousands
who flocked to hear him, as he made his annual
tour through the provinces. Often visited lu his
huinblo home by strangers and tourists, ho
would burst from his shop luto his little sanded
parlor, razor or comb In hand, and say, "Ex
cuse me a few minutes, I am shaving a custo
mer." This done, he would return nnd take out
his portfolio. "Shall 1 make you laugh or cry?
or perhaps both? I can do it." And then,
although his auditors knew nothing of the lan
guage, the acting was so excellent that they
taught Its meaning, and laughed or cried as he
played upon the chords of their hearts. They
saw the stoi v in his face, and at his fingers' ends.
Lavergno, after witnessing such a display, de
clared: "II est plctireur, il est boulTon, "il est
sublime, il est naif e'est un grand artiste. "The
man was the poem himself, the last and greatest
ol the Troubadours, one of the people, the friend
of the people, the poet of the people, making
the old patois resound again through Franco,
singing not chansons de gesle and siroentcs, not
the impurities of the ga; srwmr, aud the arrets
d' amour, but the simple lile of the peasant and
a pure morality never tarnished by the humid
breath of lusl.
Jasmiu never lost his simplicity, but with It
he always had a harmless, and what may be
called a self-protecting, vanity. He estimated
himself at his real value; he thought himself the
best modern poet Franco had produced. Titled
visitors, who came to hear him read, he received
in his humble house with genuine good humor,
but without obsequiousness. They came to him,
and he obliged them; ho wanted nothing they
could bestow. He was the poet-hero of Agen,
which gave him a golden crown; at Lyons he
received two crowns. He was the adopted. child
of Toulouse. Allured to Paris, he was kindly
received by Louis Philippe and his family, in
vested with the Legion d'hopneur, and, what ho
esteemed much more, was honored with a ban
quet by the barbers of Paris. At the seance of
the French Academy on the 20th of August, 185'2,
he received the "extraordinary prize" of five
thousand francs, on presenting which M. Ville
main, the distinguished litterateur and perpetual
secretary, pronounced a laudatory discourse of
great beauty and finish, in which, after men
tioning his other claims to this prize, he says:
"Another glory of this original talent, a title by
which it seeks the literary crown, is that ft
breathes only :hc justest and purest sentiments
God, country, the family, love well bestowed
and faithful, grateful friendship, zeal in the
cause of the poor, the orphan, the suffering, for
the village church, for the ruined homo of the
good priest, for the statue of the hero." To
whom else among the brilliant crowd of modern
French writers could such an eloge belong ?
Often urged to come into the sunlight of
patronage or court faver at Lyons and Paris, and
to repose upon bis laurels, lie atwas's refused,
and returned happy aud contented to the mai
sonette blew, where he died on the 0th of Octo
ber, 1804. We have reserved for another paper,
should time ana space warrant, a version ot nis
story of Crazy Martha (Maltro L'lnoncento),
wnicu our readers, we icci sure, win tuantc us
for bringing to their knowlcege.
CITY COUNCILS.
$eh el Jiranch President Stokley occupied
the chair. There was a quorum present, the
reading of the journal was presented and tho
business went on.
An invitation was received and accepted to
visit tho Teachers' Institute meeting, to-day,
at Musical Fund Hall.
The resolutions of tho Board of Control, re
ported in our issue of Wednesday last, asking
for certain appropriations, were referred to
Committee on Schools.
A communication from certain workmen
employed in cleaning the streets, asking means
to draw their pay, was referred.
A long printed communication was received
from tho Schuylkill Navigation Company,
making claim on the corporation for giving it
water. It sets forth;
That, by the contracts of the company with the
city tor the use of the water power created by the
erection of the dam in the river Schuylkill, near
Fail-mount, it is in effect stipulated that, whenever
by the use of the water of the river at that point,
lor the purposes of navigation and for water power,
the water is drawn down to the top of said dam,
then the city shall stop using said water power un
til the water rises to the top of the dam, thereby
leaving the whole of the water for the purposes of
navigation, and only granting to the city the right
to ute as water power any surplus of water that
may then be left.
Toward the close of .July it became necessary
for the Company to call on the city for a compli
ance with these contracts. The agents of the city
stopped the use of the water as water power, so
that navigation was only partially interfered with.
But on the 11th day of August, the agents of the
citv having at that time drawn the water consider
ably below the top of the dam, refused to shut off
the water irom tueir iuaumnery, tuereDy Btopping
the navigation of the river, and greatly damaging
memorialists.
On tho 14th of August, while this state of things
continued, the Chief Engineer of the Water De
partment made an application requesting that the
navigation of the river should be wholly suspended,
and that the city should be permitted to use the
whole of the water of the river until the famiue
for water was passed. The Chief Engineer stated
lie had no power to bind the city to indemnify the
Company for the damase which might occur, yet
exprtseed the conviction that a full indemnity
would be accorded by the city. In answer to this
application tho Navigation Company at once or
dered their locks to be closed, and several of their
up) er dams to be drawn. This arrangoment was,
on tho Jd day of August, communicated to your
bodies at a special meeting. At said nicotine the
action of the Chief Engineer and of the Committee
on Water was approved of, the liability of the city
for indemnity was recognizee, ann an appropria
tion of twenty-five thousand dollars was made, to
be paid on account oi saiu imiuiuimy.
'I'Ijh Btfiimace of navi oration has continued for
more than a mouth, aud Las been lately only par
tially removed.
From the above facts, it will bo Been to what ex
tent in time the city is liable to make payment for
the obstruction of navigation. The object of this
memorial is to secure immediate- payment on ac
count of the indemnity, and to arrange for the final
ascertainment uiwwi iu iuii. , . ..
It must be borne in mind that the river Schuylkill
u arent imblic highway, entrusted by the State to
the care and control of tho Navigation Company,
and that th"" are bound at all timos to keep it in
UetHhifr0conrtrHcts for a supply of water-powar,
thev have atall times and with all parties stipu-lated-as
by their charter they were hound to do
that the use of the water of the river for water
rower should cease whenever tt was required for
ihe imrnoses of the navigation, and hitherto these
contracts have bV'en enforced against all the water
tenam the cltylncln.led. Itls susceptible of the
olMrVstr tlitirHtheclty had, in compliance
with her cotracttopped using the water-power
of the river when so'requestedV the Navigation
CoiuWaf . thl would Uv b0 u abuu.Uut su i
nhMo? all the Purposes of navigation. The only
Ktoa 'thit MlK. between the city and he Na
vigation Vojntyttuy is the amount of the Indemnity
to be paid, and In what manner it shall be ascer
tained. First In the consideration of this claim, we
put the case of the suffering boatmen.
Without In any way waiving their legal rights,
we have propowd to them that the demurrages
named in their bill of lading shall be the measure
of their claim, and that the basis of a settlement
with them should be as follows:
First. To estimate that, according to the regular
running of their boats, it would take five days for
them to reach the locks at Fairmount from tho
date of the bill of lading, and tha for every day
beyond live days from the date of their bills of
lading they were Drevented from passing the outlet
lock at Fairmount, they should be allowed demur
rage at the rate of six dollar per day for the first
four days, and twelve dollars per dav thereafter.
huch a measure of compensation seems to be the
yery least that should be allowed to them, and we
trust it will be promptly and cheerfully granted.
Second. As to the claim of tho Navigation Com
pany Itself for indemtdty, we propone, also without
prejudice to our legal rights, that the following
rules shall be adopted:
That tho tonnage of coal and of miscellaneous ar
ticles carried over the works of the Company for
the menth immediately preceding the stoppage of
navigation shall be taken as the measure of busi
ness of which the Company has been deprived, and
that compensation shall bo made therefor at the
rates of toll charged thereon at the time of the
stoppage less the amount that tho Company would
have paid thereon for tho expenses of lateral rail
roads, for shipping coal, and for drawbacks thee
being the only deductions that should be made, as
all the other current expenses of the Compauy have
remained unchanged.
Hy the contract between this Company and the
Philadelphia and Heading Kallroad Company,
relative to tho leases and working of certain lateral
railroads in Schuylkill county, it is stipulated that
If the anthracite coal trade is not, by working un
der said contracts, divided between them In certain
proportions, the party having an excess shall pay
to the other twenty-live cents per ton for such ex
cess. Hut that if the works of either Company
during that period of the year which runs from the
1st oi April to the 15th of December shall not be in
use, the computation of the coal trade for the as
certainment of the respective portions of the par
tics shall, while such suspension of use continues,
be suspended also.
lty the stoppage of the business of the Naviga
tion Company by the city this suspension of com
putation of tontiago is now in force, and the lo.ss
thereby caused Is considered a fair and legitimate
item in the matter of indemnity.
We therefore ask that Immediato measures shall
be taken by your bodies for a settlement based on
the foregoing principles, and that payment shall
be made for the time that has already been lost by
the boatmen nnd the Navigation Company; and
that, if the stoppage shall be continued for a longer
period, weekly settlements shall be made, and pay
ment thereof bo accorded on the same basis.
Adopting the principles above suggested, it is
estimated that the present claim against the city
amounts to upward of four hundred thousand dol
lars, which would be about equally divided between
the boatmen and the Navigation Company, and on
this largo sum only twenty-five thousand dollars
have yet been paid.
Jn conclusion your memorialists will state that
in making out their claim for indemnity they have
endeavored to place it on the most favorable ground
for the city, and they feel that your bodies will be
cheerfully and cordially sustained by the publio in
a settlement that will be characterized by its just
as well as equitable features.

Tho memorial was debated at length, It
was explained by Mr. Smith, of tho Twenty-
second ward, that tho sneers lately indulged

London, ept. 10. The Times has an edito
rial nrtielc to-day on Minister Sickles' note to
the Spanish Government on the Cuban question,
wherein it says:
"it was generally believed that Grant would
not interfere, or allow interference on tho Cuban
question, until Congress could vote upon it. Is
he less resolute than formerly, or has pressure
forced him to sanction demands upon Spain for
the abandonment of Cuba? No doubt tho alter
notive olfcred Spain is her al uudaut island or
American recognition of the insurgents.
"The probabilities are that we are on tho eve
of serions events. Tho struggle will bo hopeless
so far as Spain is concerned, but the govern
ment cannot resist the impulses of the people.
ine name ot Spanish pride is last kindling, ana
the government, in striving to check it, will soon
be extinguished. From the most tranquil
rt vinees of Spain come offers of men and arm.
in order that the regular troops may go to Cuba.
The aggressive policy of the I'nited States e.m-
noi ocjusuncu ny ttie attitude ot Spain towards
v-ima.
"There is no question of slaverv. fnr t.bn .aboli
tion of slavery has already been decided upon.
It is not the determination of Spain to resist the
demands of the Cubans, for negotiations have
been opened to nllow the severance of the island.
Setting aside the question, whether the means to
set Cuba free arc fair to Spain, it is doubtful if a
war of races might not ensue, if the insurrection
is not extinguished before the cession of the
island. Under the present critical circumstances,
the Corte, on reassembling, will have to turn
their whole thought and attention to the difficul
ties and dangers of Cuba."
