tle to place him in the • front rank -of the
most celebrated artiiiis, and to• beecnie one
of ihe great, ornaments of Italian
This prediction wee apeedilyrealized The
success of the new tenor rapidly increased.
Venice, Rome; andllaides consecrated- hie
renown. All the capitals of Europe com
peted fur his favors. lle honored sulicita
tiu'asfrom London, St. Petersburg, Madrid,
V,14?El1311, but it w•.-; ill vain that the
directors. of the, Theatie-Italian of Paris
'offered .him a 'magnificent engagement'; he
rejected all their pruposale... Like Jenny
Lind, he oondeMned Paris not to hear him.
It wee the.oddity of an artist, and this, waa
not nisingle instance of the isecentrioity, of
the tenor. S had, a like . obstinacy ,
against appearing in concerts, ,er singing
in saloons. More,• he. never -showeid i hint
self in the City,.repuleing all advances, and,
shunning all society. This roughness• was
'attributed to that originality always insep
arable titan &prodigious talent.
At the end of ten years in his profession
the celebrated singer declared hie career
terminated, and definitely renounced the
Stage. .It mas a premature retrersi; the ar
tist wasstill in atl his seta' and all ilia pow
er; but they essayed in vain to to retain Win
"l am rich• enough," said he. have
thirty thousand livree annual incense froin
my investmentspl desire to reepose and en
joy my fortune." Ms resolution was irre
vocable, and the world of, song lost this
precious tenor, that Paris had never known.
At. the.same time the singer X
quitted the stage,,the Parisian world beheld
the reappearatice . of - M de B. There were
only, vague rememhiances of , him. ,
many events, so many adventures, mark the
passage of ten .yearsl . So many brilliant
persocages, come to occupy public attention
and in all this interval the personnel of .so
ciety undergo many modifications! M de
B. notwithstanding, more than any other,
had a title to be remembered. Ile WAS lit
tle changed. By a special favor of nature,
'be preserved, at the age of t!.titty-six, all the
gr tees of his younger age. Also ,sputtenits
were revtved little by little, and ; 0 7 much
the more rapidly : as M. de B. reappeared
with 1:d/former luxury; he witti , a4lST4l.le'ftil
rich as formerly. ha said had
returned to,bias his former furrutve. ,
Besides these he did oath. ro4i I the
recollection of those who had fttrggiti. , n bit.:
he even showed bino.eifejitireivoh)ir , ous to
mattycircumstances bia forgoer ,Parisian,
life, as, fur example,, when they V , spoke to
him of his talent as a singer. It ev , •“ gave
,hicsoffence when people would say,- "you,
uved to sing admirably." •
"You exaggerate. or else trifle wit , : me,"
he would reply, with an air of pique; "I
had only a small Tautness of voice, very or
dinary, and that only remained with ins un
til I quitted Pails."
Many times it occurred, that in the ex
hume he encountered strangers, .Parisians,
Euglish and Germans, who, gazed
at him with astonishment.

lionore. A reunion, always charming, was
to have a new attraction, by the preience
of a young Russian lady, a shore time ar
rived in :Paris, Madame the Countess Of
--, a marvel ofige:a.ce and intelligence,
rumor declaeed.
But 'the countess' did not appear:
_The
persons Who_ wen to . present her said that
morning, in reading &journal, she had been
seized byi. violent attack of the ,nerves,
and ' that her.condition 'gave rise to much
inquietude.
Sumo days afterivards'lld. de B. was rid
ing on horseback alone, in the forest of
Bolougni, When he encountered a calache.
A lady occupied the carriage, and when the
cavalier _glanced at her in Passing, abe
started up, Uttered a cry;'and fell" fainting
upon the cushions. '
Stirprieed at , the effeot.ke had prodnbed,
and much intereeted' by the adventure, for ,
the lady was young and beautiful,
whom iliejallop of his horse' had carried
by far - some dietetic's, returned 'towards the
calache;"but a crowd of Cavaliers and many
equipages had accumulated, a doctor was
bestowing his cares, and , by his direction
the Oalache was put in motion before M. de
B. 10 reached it. Ile was forced , to con
tent himself with following it at a distance,
out daring at that moment to provoke a
second crisis. Time caluche entered a hotel
court in the Champs Elysees. and bl. de B.
learned the name of the fady, who proved
to be no other than the Ittissian countess
he was to have met at the soiree of the fan
bourg St. lionore.
The "next day he presented himself, sent
up his card, by the valet, and was not re
ceived. The second day he Bent up his
card agaih with some words in pencil, which
announced him as the fatal cavalier of the
wolid of Bolougne. He was 'admitted.
The beautiful countess, pale and Hinguish

reposed in you. If I experiouce a sweet
joy in eeeeing you, if is for' what you recall

"Is it possible!" cried M. de B.
"You know of whom I wish to speak,
then? You have, no doubt, learned this ex.-
traordmary resemblance: yes, monsieur, he
that I have loved. that I still love, I avow
it, is an artist, a man who sung upon the—

I was a wife when I saw him at Naples.—
Now, a widow, 1 'had decided to crush be

"Never!' " '
' M. de B. shrugged his shoulders with an
air of profound and inootieeivahle credulity.
"I left for Italy," rejoined the countess,
"and vainly sought him. No one could

have'traversed all Eurviie to have foond

Ar these words the oountess was bathed
in tears.
Pa'r from being overcome by so irnprei
fliCo a rerelati'm, M. de B. seenied to do
violence to his inclination, in repressing his
joy. Without doubt he thought that his
happy reatsmhlanee must reward him. and
that some day the countess, renouncing her
chimerical 4cruples and regrets, would con
sent to - e4ouse the living image of a lover
who was no more. '

As an only response to these ardent .

had earned the glory and the triumphs of
the artist, be sung the cavativa of . Don

The countess did not leave Paris by the

The Human Hand.
Issuing from the wrist is that wonderful
organ, the human hand. "In a , French
book, intended," says Sir Charles Bell, "to
teach young people philosophy, the pupil
asks why the fingers are not of equal
length. The master makes the .scholar
grasp a ball of ivory. to show him that the
points, of the fingers are then : equal. It
would have been better had be closed the
•fingers upon the palm, and then have asked
whether or- not, they corresponded. This
difference in the length of. the fingers serves
a thousand purposes, as in holding .a rod,
switeh,,a, sword,, a hammer, a -pen, pencil,
or engraving tool, in all which. secure bold
and freedom, of action 0; admirably com
bined." On the length, strength, and per
fectly free movements of the thumbs de
pends, moreover, the power: of the' human
hand. To the thumb. indsed, has been
given the epeeist naine,'Polles;fromit Latin
verb, Meaning to be _ able , strung mighty,
because of its strength-4 strength that is
necessary to the power of the, hand,
equal to that of all the fingers. Without
time fleshy bull of the thumb. the u.wer of
the fingers would be of no avail, and nee..rd•
ingly the large bail formed by the inu.cles
of the thumb i 4 the special mark of the
human hand, and particularly that of a
clever workman. The lose of, the thumb
almost amounts to the loss of the hand;
Conscripts, unwilling to serve in the
army of Framer., have been known to disable
themselves effectually by cutting off the
thumb of the right hand. The loss of both
thumbs wourd reduce a man to a miserable
dependence. Nor shoo Id we overlook another
peculiarity: were — the tips of the fingers and
the thumbs bony instead of being covered
with flesh, many things we readily do would
be absolutely impossible. Wa now can
rake up what is smell, soft, und,round, as a
millet seed, or even a particle of human
hair, so exquisitely prehensile are the
human fingers. The nails are often of
special service; perbaps, always , works
of art which require, , nicety, of execution.
Their substance is just,, what is
. neede,d ;
they are easily kept _at the preci;!.e, length
which
_answers every purpose. had they,
been Placed on the tips of , the, fingers there
hare been a loss of privrer; a ,but their
position ensures their highest efficiency.
An interchange of power for _velocity,
which takes place in the arm, adepts the
hand and fingers to a thousand arts re
quiring quick or lively motions. In setting
up the type of this, page, there have been
movements on the part.qf the L eompositox cif
surprising rapidity to any ordinary ob:
server, and the execution of performers on
the ; pianoforte, as well as on many wind
instruments, ii often astonishing; and to
the nimble compliance of the fingers to ac
complish the purposes of the prestidigitator
are to be chiefly attributed those wonderful
feats of jugglery which succeed in deluding
the most penetrating glances in the rapidity
of their execution.
These are among many instances of the
advantage gained by this eiecriase of force
for velocity of movement. ,

A CALM:Oft:4IA MERMAID.—The account of
the voyage of llernando Cirijalva to the
to Gulf coast of Lower California, (1823,)
describes a mermaid which Grijalva pro.
fessed to have seen. The object when PM]
near by, resembled nothing more than a
monkey. It leaped out of the water and
jumped back again, with its hands moving
very quickly, and then looked us in the face;
floating in the water.as in an amide of sit
ting, until a bird disturbed it, when it dived.
down again and came up a short distance
from us; we saw it for more than an Maur.,
„Its lively appearance and strange manner
almost made us believe welted seen an sp.
parition'of the lEtlessed Virgin; (Oor Lady,)'
for saw hen all aides. r At this plane we
also saw in the water great numbers of live
snakes of :bright colors. and looking like
rattlesnakes (eascabel las-)
The fish we describe is of the resemblance
of this figure: with n dog's bend and eyes,
arms like a man, breast and body like a
woman,-with a long tail like a fish and divi
ded at the end like a swallow's tail; but we
could not make out whether it had scales or
not, though it appe.tred to be covered with
scales on its lower part. Ito color was like
that of the porpoise (tonind.) The arms
and hands it showed well when we saw it
jump into the air out of the sea. Grijalva
gives three outfit.° figures of this animal in
his voyage, of which the compiler of this
collection of documents cape: "That the fig
, ures of this impression we !save faithfully
copied, and reduced to one-third of thaori
gival." It must have been of the size of a
sea -otter when seen in the water, so we
judge.
This account may seem to doubters a ace
yarn:" but it is confirmed by Padre Clavijero,
in'his 1790 history of Lower California, and
also by several Americans we have seen
Who resided in Lower California, on the!
Gulf. Such an animal would be a prize to
any museum in Europe or America. It
seems, however, that it is a rare animal
even in Lams California.. • - -
