T1IE DAILY EVE-MING TELEGRAPH PIITTjADETjPIITA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1869. NT 23 VV-Y ORKI8aXS. From Our Own OirmpmutnU. New York, Dec. 9, 1PC9, Cubit n iiplil. Cupid whisn lie lIa liisiuie often commits a number of highly criminal acts. In his normal condition lio Is wild and wicked enough, but wLcn bis brain In heutcd beyond tho usual tern pcraturc, and ho bids defiance to tlio linage and opinions of tho world, he nets so very badly that not even any of his friends can Ray a word in his defense. Amonp a Cuban family residing; here Cupid has lately been playing some stranuo pranks, nor is this the first instance in wulcti the warm Cuban blood has found that it has not become materially cooled by circulating in a less tropic clime. For instance, Honor Corpo- rclo, Scnora Lulu Covin, and a Cuban domestic named Manrilla, nro charged by Annie Ma goffin, a handsome mulatto, with having in dividually assaulted and battered her to that extent that $5000 only can be considered a suffi cient recompense. Some months ago (according to Annie) Mrs. Govln hired her as laundresR, and upon the first night of her residence In the house, Corporcto (Mrs. Covin's brother) knocked at the door, and upon her opening It, entered, and behaved in an indescribable man ner. Upon her complaining to Mrs. Covin she was informed (so runs her story) that she had been engaged nominally as laundress, but really to fill the capacity of mistress to Corporcto. f Refusing to endure this ignominy, she' neverthe less listened to the importunities of Signor Frederlco, a friend of Corporeto's, who per suaded her that he would soon secure her an other situation. Sho conscutcd, and was hence iortb. subjected to a variety of abuses, lor which she brings the present suit lor $5000 damages. If all this story bo true, it is fortunate for Cor porcto that he has not introduced the handsome mulatto to any one as his wife, as, according to 9 New York law, ns recently interpreted by one of our judges, that is in itself tantamount to mar riage. FnNhlonnble KntertalntnrntN. To-morrow evening tho second season of the Murray Hill Sociable is to be opened ui the residence of Miss Evans, In Madison Kijuare, and the succeeding reception is to be held ou the evening of the ensuing Tuesday at tho residence of Mrs. George Morrison. The Seventh Regi ment is to hold a reception this evening at the Academy of Music. Last night Lady Ainsley (wife of Lord Herbert Lo Hoy Ainsley) gave a soiree danaante. Yesterday, also, Mrs. Ward Gurney Stanton gavcji Dresden dejeuner, and this evening amateur theatricals are to be given at the residence of Mrs. Howard Belknap, of Fort Washington. It is not often I Indulge In these fashion-flutters, but tho occurrence of so many ''distinguished" ones at once gives thorn a facti tious importance. The Nlrlffblnir Km son. Broadway is a-jingle with sleighs, and Edgar Poc's tintinoabulating poem is more ruthlessly quoted from than ever. , Chief among the curi osities with which Broadway is bewildered is i the extremely stylish, expensive, and "loud" turnout of Mr. Ilclmbold, the fancy-pharma- centist, who advertises so remorselessly that his fortune is rapidly growing beyond ordinary limits. ' This turnout consists of a handsome but gaudy sleigh, drawn by four horses, and driven ly a liveried coachsn.m. The horses are pro fusely caparisoned with hells, and at every point of stoppage there are its many open-mouthed observers for each bell as tuere are bells for each Btud, and when finally tho oqulpage draws up opposite the store, just above the Metropolitan, ' quite a small crowd collects,' and cheers go up, as from tenantry and yeomen gathered lo do homage to a nobleman visiting his estateo FIctorlal PcnarloimneN A large number of valuable pictures are e -Peetcd shortly to arrive Jn this city from Boston, where they were coii?Ctod J7 Mr". Thomas .Thompson. The circumstances wmcn Mr. Thompson made his collection are ime" what curiou6. It appears that he was one of those spendthrift misers' who encourage art in an indirect manner for their own sole gratifica tion, and without a thought upon the pleasure it might confer upon society. Mr. Thompson was probably the most eccentric minor, of this particular kind, that ever lived, lie has been known to seek out poor ortist, not only in ' Bwston but in this city and in Philadelphia, and to pay them extravagant sums for copies of antique or celebrated modern pictures. As his art collection swelled, so far from forming it into a gallery, he piled them away in layers in an obscure room, where it is not probable other eyes than ..his own ever beheld them. Their value was variously estimated at from $10,000 to $50,000. Judge, then, of the surprise of his executor, Mr. J. Harvey Young, when, upon the decease of Mr. Thompson, he examiued and catalogued the collection, and, according to the unbiased opinion of Mr. Bierstadt, gauged Ito value at half a million dollars! Almost every school is represented in it, and at least a por tion of the chefs d'xuvre will go to the new Museum of Art in contemplation. Mr. Thomp son was no ignorant collector. Perhaps ho had never read Sir. Ruskln, but better than most readers of that eloquent but affected connoisseur he had cultivated himself, had made himself familiar with the atmosphere of the studio, and had he habituated himself to the use of the pen, might have made a plcusantcr and profounder art-writer than any journalist In New York. Ai,i Bade. The I'antlieon of India. In an article on the India Museum, the London Athmceum has the following: It is generally assumed that the classical Pantheon of Indja exceeds in magnitude that of ancient Greee e and Home. If by Pantheon wo understand the religious personification of natural or divine powers as conceived b the poets, there is no doubt that the Hindoo mind has produced more divine beings than the poetry of any other nation of antiquity. But if we connect with the idea of a Pantheon those creations only which become objects of actual faith and worship, one consequently of artistical representation, the dimensions of the Pantheon of clcmticnl India are, in reality, Inferior to those of the Pantheon of our classical antiquity. The oldest belief of the Hindoos, as based on the Vedas, belongs to bygone times, which are farTenioved from the domain of history. Artistio representations of the yods of that period there have prooauiy never Deen cer tain it is, at least, that there aro none on record now, and that all tho sculptures, carv ' ings, and images symbolizing the objects of Hindoo worship refer to that period of the national life which is pictured in the two great epic poems, the Muhabharata and Ita wayano, and in those iuediieval works which are the basis of actual Hindooism, the Pura nas and Tantras. Boulptures and idols of this category are confined especially to two legendary centres to the mythical history of Vishnu with his consort Lokshini, and to that of biva with his wife Durga. For, as to Brah man, the first god pf the Hindoo triad, he proved less attractive to imagination thun his two competitors, and he gradually, thorofore, withdrew from the honors of a regular wor ship. As a sexless being, Brahman survives in philosophy as the highest principle, but men mipersonul and past conception. The male Brahman, however, the cod of the great poems and Pnranas, is no longer the object of saerificiul adoration; and naturally the same fate also befell his female power or consort, Harasvati, the goddess of speech and elo quence. v . The minor gods of the classical Hindoo Pantheon never enjoyed an extensive wor ship in India. The Sun, ono of the most prominent Vedio deities, has but a few vota ries now; and Ganesa. the god of wisdom, the most popular of the inferior deities, has re tained . his luiBRinary existence merely be- cause he is connected with the legendary his tory of his father Siva, ana because literary men in the commencement of their works in yoke him as the remover of all difnoulties, Of all these deities, and a few more, the India Museum possesses the largest and finest col lection of images in existeneo. There is Brahman, in a few choice speci mens, as well as Saras vat i, both with their sacred bird, the 11 ansa. Of Siva the number of representations is of course much more considerable. In several of them he appears as the god of meditation and penanoe, in others he conquers demons and performs feats described in the Puranas. In some, the Ganges is seen flowing down from his head. He is seated in profound contemplation, or he rides on his sacred bull. He is alone, or in the company of his consort Durga and his son Ganesa. Durga, again, either resting or riding on her vehicle, the lion, has a largo share of iniBges devoted to her individual his tory, especially to her conquest of the demon Mahisha. But the largest amount of idols belongs to Vishnu, tho god with whom tho idea of in carnation is especially associated in Hindoo mythology. He appears, therefore, in his pure type as the preserver of the universe, alone or with his wife Lakshmi, and standing or riding on his man-bird vehicle, Garuda. Or he is represented in his various Avataras, as fish, tortoise, boar, man-lion, dwarf, llama with the axe, Ramachandra (the hero of the Ramaytina), Krishna (the hero of the Mahab harata), or in his future incarnation as Kalki, the destroyer of the world. The most popular of these Avataras being that of Ramachandra and of Krishna, the greatest variety of images belongs to the history of those two concep tions of Vishnu. Lnkshmi, tho goddess of beauty and prosperity, is likewise repre sented in a large number of separate idols; but as her history did not stimulate imagina tion, these idols are wanting in variety of detail. Next to these the well-known figures of Ganesa, with the head of an elephant and a remarkable corporation, occupy the largest place. But on account of their great scarcity in India, we will name the representation of Indra, the god of the firmament, and his wife; of Surya, the god of the sun, and.his charioteer Aruna, the Dawn; of Chandra, the moon: of Kai ttikeya, the god of war, and of Varuna, tho god of the ocean, together with their re spective vehicles, the elephant, the horse, the peacocK, ana JuaKara, tne marine monster. lo convey anything like an adequate idea of all these strange conceptions of the deity is of course impossible without entering into a detailed account of Hindoo religion and mythology. Nor can we hero dwell on the artistic interest suggested by these various idols, fashioned as they are out of the most different materials silver, bronze, brass, zino, marble, soapstone, wood, etc. We would, however, draw attention to two pecu liarities which they possess, and which might escape tne notice oi tne casual visitors of the Museum. i The idols in question belong to various parts of India. Some come from Nepal, others rom Bengal, others from Bombay, and others and these by far the greatest por tion from Madras. It is, therefore, a mat ter of considerable interest to pursue, in the Afferent types of the figures and in the cha racter o " e representations themselves, the difference of V countries whence they pro ceed, and the differ'0' of the ideai which they were intended to realize. They also vS long to different periods. TJzvfortunately, however, on this point the records of the India Museum are incomplete, and surmise regarding the respective agos of the idols I must, in many instances, now take the room of what otherwise would have been matter of certainty. And this is the more to be reeretted. as such a certainty might have helped also to clear tip another point of interest connected with these images. For while in the majority of them it is possiblo to recognize the authentic sources ol limaooism, on tne grouna oi which they are formed, there are a good many which would not be so clearly traceable to them. These, on the contrary, would seem to belong either to the individual con ception of the artists, or, what is more likely, to a more modern phase of Hindoo religion, unsupported by written records. Thus, among the representations of Vishnu and Lakshmi there are combinations which are, and from the nature of the legends on which they rest must be, foreign to the older traditions. We find, for instance, a Lakshmi as a fish and boar incarnation, a man-lion with Lakshmi on his lap, representing a man-lion in the attitude of the striding dwarf, a boar and dwarf incarnation combined, a figure repre senting almost all the incarnations of Vishnu with the different emblems characterizing each; or we find a Ganesa with the attributes of Siva, or Siva and Durga on horseback, or Siva as the god of death, or Durga with the attributes of Lakshmi, and so forth.
