The New York Evening Gazette has added to'its pen portraits of American authors` the following familiar and sprightly sketch of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe: This best-known of American female poets is the Wife - of - Dr: Samuel - G. lIowe; the phi lanthropist, so called, and justly, too, for he has given sight to one of our blihd, and fed the struggling• Cretans with the best of Irish potatoes. She is also the daughter of the late Samuel Ward, the eminent banker of this city, who is held in remembrance as a man of great public spirit, and the liberal patron of the Stuyvesam, Inkitutc, the Historical So ciety and the Univet);ity of the City of New York. More remotely, .Mrs. Howe 'is de scended from, an old soldier of Cromwell,who left his country because he couldn't stay in it, and settling in. Rhode Island during the reign of Charles H., married a daughter of Roger 'Williams, and became the tither of Richard Ward—a Governor of the State—and the grandfather of his son. Samuel, a member of the old Continental Congress. Thus Mrs. Howe inherits good blood blood . winch -. ,,t,\ ptl., ,N dy English grass in the da 'of the old 4S•om Wan, and after six genet . , 'one, has poured its f into song, and thrills th hearts of, twenty millions of American freeinen. Mere than any other poems of the war, Mrs: Mowe's Battlo Ilyinn of the Republic fired _____ le ,an nery with the rebellion. If it were allowable to surmise a lady's age, we should "guess" that Mrs. Howe was still on the sunny side of fifty; though the fact that Dr. Howe is well-stricken in years, and she has a well-grown son and daughters, might argue that she was nearer seventy. However, old or young, she is a woman of remarkable energy„andis likely to yet do her best work for American letters. The amount of what she daily does and endures may seem almost incredible to ordinary mortals. • She • will attend to her household afiliirs, take a two-mile walk, a two-hours' dose of German metaphysics, and receive half a dozen callers —and all before noon—and then will write poetry all the afternoon, and listen all the evening to a dozen "philanthropists" or prosy philosophers, who revolve round her very much as mice revolve about a cheese—just to get a nibble now and then at one of her brightest thoughts, or stray bits of genius. And she is a genius. It was born in her, and it has been cultivated by the most selu lons care and attention, else it had been Frig ago smothered in the murky atmosphere of metaphysics and effete philosophy in which she is constantly enveloped. Mrs. Howe is a leader of the "ton," ;mil the centre of a select literary circle, none of whom take the All(zittiv. The rupture be tween her and the conductor ofthat ma , razine occasioned the birth of that short-lived rmbdo `4Madabthe Notthern LightB,and consequent ly should be accounted a national calamity. Mrs. lowe's first book—P«ssion_Ftottices —appeared in l 8.14. It is a collection of poems, - written at various times, and possessing various degrees of merit. It was folloWed by a prose volume of travels in Cuba, and in 1865 by another volume of poems entitled Latcr. Lgrics, many of which had previously ap-• poised in the Atlantic. ,This is all, we believe, .that Mrs. Howe has published; though she is understood to have ready . for the press a volume of philosophical essays. and to be now engaged on an American novel. Ms. Howe is a slow writer, elaborating with great care, and only publishing when every one of the half-dozen critics who fre quent her boudoir have pronounced her every -word the hest that could have been se lected. She was ten years in- writing Later Lyrics, and often two days in correcting a single word or line of some one of its poems. With her inspiration comes in answer to pa tient work: it does not spring forth in a mo ment, as Minerva sprang from the brain of Jove. Even if her books sold largely, such slowproduction would prove unprontable. But Mrs. Howe's hooks do not sell' largely; none of them has, we think, reached a second edition, and from her contributions to the pe riodical press she has certainly not realized a fortune. For the Battle ,Hlpan she was paid five dollars by the Addidic; for Our Orders, ten dollars by the same liberal jour nal. Fifteen. dollars for lire enough to set a Continent in a blaze ! Think of it, ye divine women, who feel within you the stirrings of genius ! Think of it! and if you are poor, turn to shirt-making; if you are not poor, crake up 'your minds at once to pay your own passage to immortality. But Mrs. Howe is not poor; she is rich, and therefore she can alloril to snap her fingers at the critics, and to start a press of her own whenever her muse g!:t , , into a money-losing :Gunton it were iJlow:Able in these sketchys So eliVade tlic domestic cir.-I t! , aw l to daily life of the iiien and.

Those who know her best; iose their adthiration of the - poet in their. love for the woman, It is. not our. purpose to criticise Mrs. Ilowe's poetry. With a certain ruggedness of form, it has it depth of feeling and a wealth of thought that are found in no other of our American female poets. But Mrs. Howe is more than a poet; she is a thinker and a scholar, and these are rare things in a woman. She reads half a dozen different languages, and has outstripped most men in the higher walks of philosophy and literature. She is familiar with Mcgel, Compte, C4oethe, Dante, Sweden borg, and all the great masters of song, faith and metaphysics. She has also mingled with cultivated society, and traveled extensively, both in this and the old world. But she is' not an artificial "lady." She is a large-hearted wqiiuth--on6 Whofie soul has been energized by study, elevated by reflection, chastened by sorrow and sanctified by faith; and thus fitted to teach us, the "lower orders," that ,is, , 'the . men - creation. Mrs. Jlowe is now in Italy, studying the classics; while her husband is in Crete, dispensing potatoes. Cm'tis is a younger man than most, people think, and think in spite of his good looks. lie is not forty-three,,and nine out of ten people throughout the country have an idea that he is over. fifty. This impression is partly due to a certain unanimity of opinion among the critics concerning Mr. Curtis and his writings. No • one speaks ill, or even lightly, of Mr. Curtis's work, because it is al most invariably well done. He is as firm on his pedestal of good repute as Bryant, Long fellow, or I lohnes, are on theirs. It is seldom that a writer under fifty achieves a reputation - so — fmonestioned, or escapes-=any -carping charges of self-conceit. Mr. Curtis is a bold. and aggressive enunciator of ultra opinions, but nobody ever thought of him as belong ing to that, class of writers who ,go against the current for the Purpose of centering attention upon themselves. One reason of this is that he is so pal pably honest about it; another is that he is so thorough a gentleman. He can say a severe thing of you to your thee without wagging his Lead or running out his tongue at you. Be. is aggressive without _being pert , and saucy. Ile is the Urant of ultra-ideaists, not the His enemies respect hint and even admire him. You never catch any sane man Shrugging his shoulders or laughing in his Sleeve at Geo. W. Curtis. Fluty - very few writers escape this sort of thing, at least until after they have passed their fiftiethor sixtieth year, few people stop to reflect. Bayard Taylor does not escape it—Theodore Tilton does not—in short there are very few who do. CurtiS was born to a respectable compe tence; but, like many another boy who has no present need, lie began to take care of himself when be was but fifteen years old. his pa rents removed to this city from Providence, Rhode Ishuld, when George was at that age, and he entered the service of a dry goods im porter here. After a year of this he went to farming in MasSachusetts, and it was while working on a farm near• Concord that he min gled in the society where he met Emerson and Hawthorne. Curtis is a graduate of Brown University, and he spent a few months at the University of Berlin. His rare culture was not acquired in the ordinary routine. His literary tastes were naturally refined,, and he improved his mind greatly by foreign travel. He was only twenty-six when he returned from hiS travels in Egypt-and-SYria r and-published-his-Nile-i .Notes of a Rowadii. This book gave him the sobriquet of "How adji Curtis," which has clung to him ever since. But it was his "Potiphar Papers," which gave him his most distinctive literary reputation, we think. These were a collection of papers on metro : , politan "faShionable" life, very caustic, and hunaorons; and strongly suggesting Thack- Cray. Thackeray, by the way, is one of Mr. Curtis's profoundest admirations, and he . has . helped much to popularize that writer in this country: "Potiphar" appeared originally in Putnani's ..11onthly, of which Curtis was the principal editor. He was also part pro prietor of the ..I.lolithlg, and its unhappy end resulted in stripping Mr. Curtis of "all he possessed," as the phrase is—for people talk as if a num could not "possess" anything but hard dollars. As it' brains, education and energy were not property! Mr. Curtis has clearly proved that they are. Lutes Eutiny, one ot: Curtis's pleasantest hooks, was made up of wateting-plaqe I.!t ters, that he wrote to the Tribtruc in 1851. .Prue ct ,, ( l 1 7 his pooret voltune, was iu like manner made up from the pages of Pot twin: e great struggle Mr. Curtis has now been connected with the Harpers' publications for ten or a dozen years. In the Monthly, as everybody knows, he writes the "Easy Chair," the best part of the whole magazine. In te it cel.ly he writes the editorials, mid proves his capa city tor strong political writing to be as great as that for delicate and fanciful literary gossip. His original po-ition on the Jrcckl.j was the writer of a column or so of light talk on literary and social topics, printed in small type, and denominated "The Lounger." It was like a younger brother of the "Easy Chair." By-and-by Curtis let his "Lounger" talk Radical politics a little, and the Harpers—who, before the war, were the reverse of Radical—requested him to- "stop that," or discontinue the "Lounger." 0: course,' Curtis stopped the "Lounger" alto gether. Subsequent events, however, changed the Harpers'. views somewhat, and Curtis was reinstated as a writer for the editorial page. He gradually took the whole thing in his own hands, and to-day the ll'caly talks broader Radicalism in its leaders than even the "Lounger" did in the by-gone time. .. _ Fifteen or meat years ago, Curtis was considered the AtIOT is of New York liecea teurg. He is :AtiLl_v ry fine-looking, tall, well dressed, with good hair and fine eyes, an ultra gentlema.nly manner, and scholarly • aspect. He resides on the south shore of Staten Island, in a very pleasant place of his own. Curtis is an always-popular lecturer. llis ultra opinions are presented with a grace and vigor that leaves no hearer feeling as if he had wasted his evening, howeVer widely his views may differ from those of the speaker. . - Under the title.oi "Bench and Bar, a Com plete Digest of the Wit, Humor, Asperities and Amenities of. the Law," Harper & Brothers have published an amusing Volume of anecdotes of judges and lawyers.

Tilli‘SAM, CORWIN THE DAILY EVENINGBULLETIN. - PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JULY 13,1867 familiar as "household words," Mr. COrwin was retained as counsel for a man charged with murder, and who, he clairnesb acted in selfLdefence. In his closing speech to ,the jury: Corwin pictured the condition of his client as endeavoring to avoid the difficulty, portrayed the murdered man as forcing it upon him, dogging his steps; denouncing him as a coward, and at last threatening to strike him. "What," he exclaimed, "would you have done in such an emergency? What sir," turning to the prosecuting attorney, "would you have done?" "Done 1" replied the attorney, with great gravity—"done! I would have welcomed him with bloody hands to a hospitable grave." The jury was convulsed with laughter, and Corwin lost his case. BEN. WADE AND JOSHUA R. GIDDINGi3 Benjamin F. Wade and the late Joshua R. Giddings used to be constant competitors at the bar in "old benighted Ashtabula," their place of residence. In the early part' of his practice, 'Wade was defending a man against an action of slander, and, after having conclu7 clod a very effective speech to the jury, sat awkwardly leaning backward, his feet on the counsel table, and facing Giddings, who was attempting to be eloquent in behalf of his slandered client. "Old Gid," as he • was fa miliarly called, knew a little smattering of Shakespeare; and now determined 'to bring that great author to his aid. "Gentlemen of the jury," said he, with much ardor, "'He that steals my purse, steals trash; But he that robs me of my good name—' " (Ahem') At this point, to his great discomfiture, Shakespeare deserted him. He repeated, ' " Tut he that robs me of my good name—'' (Another pause). ."Takes that I never had," whispered Wade, as if prompting him, and so distinctly as to be heard by all in the room. Amid the laughter and his own confusion, Giddings brought his speech to such a - "large and impotent conclusion" that his client re covered but six and a quarter cents for Lis lost character. Judson T. Mills, of South Carolina, Was . judge of a district court in Northern Texas, land_ of ajoke, but wag very decided in his discharge of duty. Thomas _Fannin Smith was a practising lawyer at the bar, and having shamefully misstated the law in his address to the, jury, turned to the Court and- asked the judge-m charge the • jury accordingly: The judge was indignant, and replied : "Does the counsel take. the Court to he a fool?" • Smith was not abashed at the reproof, but instantly responded: I trust your honor will not insist on an answer to that question, as I miglit in :An swering it truly be considered guilty of con tempt of court... ."Fine ^the counsel ten dollars, Mr. Clerk," said the judge.' Smith immediately paid the money, and re marked it was ten dollars more than the court could show. "Fine the counsel ,fifty dollars," said the judge. The fine Was entered by the clerk, and Smith,not being ready to respond to that sum, sat down. Tint next mornino on the opening of the court, Smith arose, and n with much del erence of manner began: "May it please your honor, the clerk took that little joke of yours yesterday about the fifty dollars as serious, as I perceive from the . --reading-of-the-minutes. Will-your-honor-be pleased to inform him of his error, and have it erased ?" . The coolness of the request and the implied apolou pleased the judge, and he remitted the fine. • An Irish counsellor having lost his cause, which had been tried by three judges, one of whom was esteemed a very able lawyer; though the•other two were indifferent, some of the other banisters were merry on the occasion. "Well, now," said he, "who could help it, when there are' a hundred jndges on the bench?" " A hundred.'" said a by-stander; "there were but three." ''By St. Patrick !" replied he, "there were one and two ciphers." Two stories of Daniel Webster are not "legal," but good.: When I Layne, of South Carolina, urged on by his southern friends, had made his speech which called fOrth that immortal reply of the grcat "Northern Lion," many of Webster's friends, struck *with Ilayne's real ability, be- gan to say to each other, "Can Irt.bster unswet that!" Mrs. Webster was present at the Capitol, and was greatly agitated at the hill and force of the hero of South Caro lina. She rode home with a friend in advance of her Intsband. At last the "Lion" came tramping up to the door,' and marched in in an easy, unconcerned way. His wife hastened into the hall just as she was, and, with tears in her eyes, said to him, :'C'an you — cirri you answ el; • 'Mr. I Jayne?" With a sort of grunt or quiet ioar, her lord turned upon her: ''Answer him? him finer than that snuff iaa ;Jour boy!" In due time the Websterian thunder rolled through the arches of the Capitol, and Hayne was ground fine. "What do you think now," says the gene ral's friend to his Southern acquaintance, "of our Northern lion?" The reply came quick, but rather angrily: "He's a long-jawed, strong-jawed, tough bided deNil!"

"A Jtronm AN." Robert Browning and Oxford fink- versity. The University of •Oxford has conferred upon the poet Browning the degree of Master of Arts by diploma—whereupon the Pall hull G'azeltc otiserves that "the grant of a degree by diploma in a ease where the recipi ent has never belonged to the University tinnily happens once in a century;" and the London ASYtte adds: "Mr. Browning- is, we think, a London 'University - man; - and; it-is-an-honor -to Oxtiird - 'to haVe thus gone out of its regular way to confer on him this 'mark of its tailor. Singu lar, indeed, is the position which the author of and Iromen holds in his oWn,coun 7 try. 'Would it be an exaggeration to say that" to " - the - great- mass of 'English ,men and women of all classes he is absolutely unknown? Would it b. too much to say that even of what may be called the read ing classes--those who buy bdoks, and sub scribe to libraries, and read reviews-the great majority have never read six lines of Browning's poetry? -This fact, however, will not in itself constitute a very remarkable phenomenon. A great poet has often been utterly ignbred by his own age, and.the !hid tation of Mr. .Browning's re a ers would argue nothing wonderful. But the strange thing is that Mr. Browning finds admirers wherever lie finds readers, and is, by the common con sent of all the real intellect Imo criticism of the country, placed among; the very foremost of living.poets. Now, when-a poet attains this position, rightly or wrongly, he gene rally at the saute time obtains multi tudinous readers. Thousands upon thou sands of people read him becanfe it is the right thing to do; because it seems in tellectual; because this or that great critic ad mires hint. So few people in life ever have tile courage to do as they like, that once a lit erary man obtains the high and loud'praise of the ruling elders the rest of the public will Col low, and pretend to like,even when they really do not like, just as pobr Mrs. Pendennis.al ways felt it her duty to admire Shakespeare because her husband had admired him; or, to take a different sort of illustration, as an am bitious, youth pretends he enjoys the cigar which is sickening and choking him, be cause he thinks it m only and 'spirited tb_Sinolie_"_ - But hardly any of this sort of popularity has ever followed Mr. Browning. He has never.: -become fashionable in this way. Either peo ple read and sincerely admire him, or they do not read him and do not think about him at all." The Star continues: "A cunious thing about this is that only in England itself can Browning's great genius be said to latt•thus ignored by the public. the united States he enjoys a wide and deep popularity. So did his wile—so do her works still, now that she is dead and gone. Edu cated Americans are amazed to find how little the majority of English people know or care about the BrOwnings. There is a story about an English editor of a newspaper who paid a visit to America not long since, and who, observing a copy of Browning wherever he went, became rather curious about the merits of the author, whom he supposed to be a popular American poet, and put some questions which much astonished his friends of New York or Boston. This story may, of course, be somewhat of an exaggeration; but it is perfectly certain that nine out, of every ten Englishmen know far more of Longiiinow than they do of Browning. "The late Elizabeth Barrett Brownin was much more generally read in Englaffd — than her husband, and yet we ourselves remember seeing in Yan English newspaper a short notice of he Bath in which she was described as %hi. Barrett Browning, better known to our readers as Miss Mitford.' Save for the fact that America so warmly appreciates Browning, one might, perhaps, set down his want of popularity in this country to his long absence from England and the gradual estrangement of his genius and his thoughts from Anglo- Saxon themeS and modes of feeling. But there is in Browning nothing whatever of the peculiar characteristic which made Savage Landor's poetry a genuine exotic. Landor was in truth a pagan poet z with a pagan love of beauty and of strength; with that austere sensuousness, if one might use such an ex pression; which blendeditself with the Greek's principle of art. nut in Wowning arc the heart and the brain of a thoroughly modern and English poet. Undoubtedly he is often difficult reading. No one can skim him. His meaning is not obvious. His thoughts are not on the surface; they must be followed deeply down; very often the poet cares so little for the mode of expressing the thought that he is guilty of scpething that might be called a wanton obscstreness of style. But no one ever took the trouble to - endeavor to under Stand Browning who it as not repaid. His poetry is a diamond mine, n which most that you see is dark; and hard, and rugged, but where there are gems to be found which repay any toil of search." The Hermes Trismegistias. A new translation of the famous "Hermes' Trismegistus" has just been pnblished by M. Louis Menard. The destiny of this book or collection of books has been singular enough. Accepted as authentic from the time of , the tirat Christian doctors to that of the first mo dern critics, Marsile Ficini, at the Patrizzi, it has since been alternately considered the work of a Jew, a Christian, 'or a Gnostic. But-to-day, with Orcuzer, the learned world recognizes the book as one of the last pro ductions of the Grieco-Egyptian philosophy, and more 'especially of Alexanctrine eclec ticism. M. Menard disposes summarily of the popular idea of Egyptian immobility, and claims that the Egyptians passed through a period of mythology and of philosophy, as distinct as that of the Greeks. This "Hermes Trismegistus," or Wrath of the Egyptians, re presents the period of philosophy. But, singular as is the book; M. Menard will appear still more singular, when it is known that he has become so mutinied with the spirit of the old mythologies, by dint of their incessant study, that in the middle of the nineteenth century he has ddclared him self their . chainpion. Without fear oflldieule, he proclaims the worship of Zeus, of Poseidon, and the Divine Aphrodite. The discredit that has Jaen upon the Hellenic pOlytheism is f9r him only a proof of ignoiancet. he main tains the immortal duration of the gods that the world has deemed dead. This translation of "Hermes" has been crowned by. the Academy, •:`,rection of cript ipns. • A Relic of Wingitoini. • Tlie Paris Iligar() announces the sale of a violin of Paganini's, which on first sight merely presents the appearance Of a misshapen wooden shoe. The story of this instrument is curious. During the winter of 1838 Paganini was living in a .maison de sant(', called Les Neothermes, Rue de la Victoire, 48. A. large boX was brought to him by the Normandy diligence, on opening which he thund enclosed two inner boxes, and carefully wrapped in several folds of „tissue • paper a . wooden shoe, and a letter stating . that the writer, having heard much of his •se nius, begged as a proof thereof he would perform in public on an instrument made out. of this sabot. Paganini felt this to be an im pertinent satire, and mentioned the story with some annoy,•ance to his friend the Chevalier de 13aride. The latter took the sabot to a violin maker, who, with great ingenuity, converted it into a musical instrument. The Chevalier insisted on Paganini trying the sabot. He not only (lid so, but performed on it some of his most exquisite fantasias; which filet, in his own handwriting,is recorded on a slip (if paper now to be seen pasted on the sabot-violin in the Rue Vivienne, in Paris.

That the relationship in question really existed, has long been conjecturedt• but it is now proven, or rather will be, when Mr. French shall have published the records he has dis covered, which will be in the supplementary volumes of the "Cambridge Shakespeare." Miss KATE TERRY'S "Doan."—A London 'journal, in criticising Mr. CharleS rteade's dramatization of Tennyson's poem of "Dora," thus compliments the actress who played te leading part : "MiSs Terry assumes for this part a rustic bearing and manner quite unlike her usual stage self, .and never loses the petty feminine timidity of a soft maim' hardly able to uphold, yet 111,holdin,2, the weight of a noble, purpose, till it lifts itself' at last, in the strength of that purilose, to heroic self-sacritice.

Me. SATY.III JAYATI, :1 1110(10') member of the Ceylon branch of the Royal Asietic So ciety, ha recently published it dissertation entitled, " The Song of Songs; a Hebrew Pastoral drama, itot by R ing Solomon." He laughs, says one of his reviewers, fit the spiritual symbolism which orthodox critics have agreed to find in the "Song -of Songs," and adopts, generally, M. Renan's iner pretation of the erratic passhges of the poem.- He does the same for the poetry his own countrymen, especially in the "rata vinda," the celebrated song in praise of Chrisna.

All eyes were turned towards the door, on the threshold of which there slid 41enly appeared one of the purest and loveliest apparitions that have ever been seen upon the stage. Two years later, when Henriette Son tag again appeared in public, a magic flower had grown out of the lovely bud, that even now combined such grace, loveliness and maidenly dignity, that all hearts were irresist ibly drawn towards the being that looked more like an angel than aught else. And when "John, - overcome_ by the sight of the noble donna. sings: "Lovely is she as a flower, Tender goodness in her eyes. And In every feature power Of reflecting joy there lies !" -:the eyes of the assembled audience were bent upon the young girl standing there as the embodiment of these words, and the murmur .of satisfaction grows more and more percepti ble. With true womanly modesty, 'yet with neither awkwdrdness nor timidity, the prin cess advanced, and the first tones pealed forth from her rosy lips with a clearness,.a sweet, ardent fiilLuess, that possessed the power of spreading throughout the now excited audi t:m..ole stillness of the grave. In Henriette's greftt blue eyes, the mirror of her pure soul, there kindled a yet brighter light than before, whoa the first soft "bravo" fell upon her ext . ; it had for tier more value than a whole storm at appiause, for it came nu' her teacher, the old Capellmeister; who; enrap lincd not only with the purity of,her intona tion, hut with the dignity of ber bearing,could no longer repress his delight.

This universal liurst of ap plause at first not only surprised but con fused the maiden, so that for one moment her voice trembled; but she bravely concluded her emotion, and then, encouraged by the recognition, the notes rang forth with yet snore fullness, clearness and freshness, until a wondrously beautiful trill, of a roundness of tone and, remarkable duration—so that the Capellmeister was forced to bold his breath in amaze=--ended the exquisite aria, "With what wondrous ardor. - From this moment the victorywas sure, and with that, aria thit young novice in art had elevated herself to the rank of an artiste, and the great Ger stacker had to he content to share the triumph, of . the evening _ with a youpg thlorlf-111fr. lienriette was received behind tile scenes at the end of the first act by her delighted mother and her deeply moved teacher.

The Berlin correspondent of the London ,Slrti• Writes: "Preiligraths friends and admirers; whose name is legion, have been working with a will' both in Europe and. America. and the subscriptions to the fund which is intended to secure the declining years of a noble German poet from the pressure of pecuniary embar rassment, haVe already reached a considera ble amount. Long may he lire to enjoy- it Thelltinitfre-und , con tains-the-1i tlloW ing an ecdOte - early as la3s Preiligrath bad written many poems containing descrip tiOnS ofthe' ocean and of life at sea, but had derived most of his materials at second-hand, his whole personal experience of ships and sailors having been confined to the port of Hamburg. A little expedition to Amster dam was to give hint an opportunity of seeing the actual things which he bad hitherto only seen with the eyes of the spirit: The Adler, a large three-nmster, bound for Canton, was lying there at anchor, and Freiligrath and a friend obtained permission to go over *under the guidance of a weather-beaten old sailor. AN hen they arrived at the Captain's cabin the old taD,apologized for not being able to .take them in. as the Captain had company with him. 'At this moment the door was opened, and diz , covered a large party of ladies and gen tlemen who were just ristng front a very 'lux urious dinner. Freiligrath apologized tbr his curiosity. but the captain, who was a man o the world in another sense as well as that o having been round it, begged him.to come in, ..Aiowed hint his arms, his 'curiosities, and lastly his hook-case, containing, among other things. a very handsome copy ,f Freili grath's poems. On seeing this the friend said to Freiligrath, 'Are you not pleased to think that your poems are now going on a voyage to Canton? . 'How so 't' said the captain. 'This gentleman is Freiligrath,' was the answer. 'Freiligrath, the poet neiligrath?' shouted the son of Neptune. The question having been answered in the affirmative, the captain seized his speaking trumpet. 'Flag the ship! All hands on (leek! More champagne. God bless you;,,you have shortened many, a hot day on the ocean tbr ore, have given me many a happy and an elevating hour." - He .- then embraced the poet, who was much moved by this hearty recognition of his works, and having tilled laanpers of champagne, continued: 'Ladies and gentlemen, you who live ashore can have no idea *hat a true companion the real German poet is to the lonely sea-farer in a distant quarter of the world, and what claims he has on his gratitude. Chance has brought the best of them all to my table, and I regard it as a good omen for my voyage. Raise your glasses--Long live Freiligrath!' "'When Freiligrath left the ship, the flags were flying from stem to stern, and he had to pass between the crew drawn up in two lines, and rigged out in their best clothes, just as if he had been a king in other ways than in verse. This was one of the brightest days in the life.,of a German poet."' Coal Statement.
