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.
