Diastaare Dore.
At the extremity of the Rue Bayard, in the vi
cinity of the Arc de l'Etoile, you see a truilditur
that does not seem fit for any mortal use. New
without smartness, small yet divided, in large
apartments, it is something between the most
decorous of barns and the bleakest of chapels.
Two gables dominating the street are nearly
filled with windows which yawn as whales jaWO.
Stolidly haunting the receptions • of the more
distinguished Americans in Paris, and even evict.
eing ashy partiality for theination thirty-fivot
pigeon -bodied, of blonde. complexion, but black
hair which falls behind the oars like a fringe; in
ordinary evening dress, but wearing over his
round breast a festoon of chain from which a
number of little crosses dangle like clothes
hanging out to dry moving through the brilliant
circles with a dullness rather German than
'French: evidently insecure in society, and defi
cient in hilarity up to the moment of bustling up
to the sideboard with a round "Hein i what have
we got hero ?"—is the man that goes to the house.
The Americans fall upon Mtn with their mas
sive hero-worship.
"Alt, Monsieur Dorti, enchanted to meat!"
says an enthusiast in flesh-color gauze, and speak
ing voluble second-quality. French. "Should
never have known you from the portraits, your
figure-ls' so math fuller! •I think now I have
seen you on the Lake, but I was cutting my nam
on the ice that evening, and in going so fast .it is
bard to 'recognize! Do you know you are very
bighly'approciated in America, Monsieur Dore ?
Your works are always bought, notwithstanding
the terrible duty! I adore your Dante, though I
have always said the Francesca was too fat. Are
you familiar with Longfellow's translation ? I
assure you It is infinitely preferable to Cary', , ,
and almost suggests the ter:al-him. YourEtaine,
if you will excuse ray frankness, is less to my
taste; you have followed Tennyson, who imitated
the tronbadours,instead of going away back to the
Celtic legends. My father will be enchanted to
see you in Salem, whenever you take a fancy to
visit the States! By the by, what is your can
did opinion, now, on American beauty?"
'To appreciate the effect of this sort of dis
course, it should be borne in mind that to the
Paris artist, fresh from studio life, oar ordinary
American glil, cutting her letters on the ice, criti
eising Italian and Celtic literature, tranquilly
sketching the figure of the man she is introduced
to, and desiring his artistic opinion of her own, 1 8
novel in the same degree as would be a French
girl just from her convent-pension in a circle of
keen Boston lionesses. No wonder that the hod'
estrnan stares at the floor, says Oui and Non'
leaves the conversation as far as possible in such
able and willing hands, and finally escapes to the
sideboard and the cold punch. Even Paris dan
dies arc in terror of American girls.
Dore, ever since he came from Strasbourg to
the metropolls,and began to push his way through
newspaper illustration and odd jobs to his present
unique position, has been a workman and a man
of the workroom. He rises very early, begins to
paint about seven in the morning at this season
of the year, dines, and works in black-and-white
by a strong lamplight at his home, in the Rue St.
Dominique, through the evening, until eleven or
twelve o'clock. The immense fecundity of his
pencil has this simple explanation: All the morn.
ing he covers those immense canvases, which
form the phenomenon of the Rue Bayard ; all the
evening he scatters, from the Rue St. Dominique,
thateffusion of boxwobd which becomes the.terror
of engravers, the fortune of publishers and the
amazement of Christendom.
word occurs to me on the subject of hia en
gravings. An ordinary artist will not work upon
wood; the engraver spoils all, and the public will
see a scratch where the draughtsman left a master
piece. Dore, on the contrary, has committed all
his hopes of fame to the oft-reviled engraver. He
expresses himself satisfied • (I quote the English
critic Ifnmerton), and admits that the engravings
are adequate to the drawings. I have the secret
from a fellow-artist of Dore 4 P, and like most val
uable trade-secrets, it is none at all; Dor6 began by
paying three prices to his block-cutters, watching
them narrowly, and giving them time. When
his reputation was made, the publishers were
obliged to pursue the same system, and the en
graver who is now employed upon a Dore; gets a
least double the ordinary - price, works leisurely
with a view to his own reputation; and puts his
name opposite to the artist's,a man content.
But Dorii, known abroad almost exclusively as
an artist in griscalle, has a thirst, au itch,. a sting,
a tang, to figure as a colorist.
The French artists say that he never will be a
painter.
lie paints stormily and frenetically on, con
ite.4ing the passers and porters of the ltue Bayard
with still larger and larger canvases every week.
The odd house at the extremity of that street
contains his painting-room; never, since the
masters of the Venetian school had palaces and
the balls of Nei/We to paint in, has artist fignred
in a larger studio. •
We will enter it, timidly, at our nest rash step
PERDC.
Johann Stratum , . and. His Waltzes.,
Johann Strauss ought to be a happy man, 1!*
praise, admiration and petting can produce hap.
piness. A lively, bustling,rather handsome Vien
nese., he seems, by his appearance publicly, to be
a man of emotion and nervous intoxications.
Evidently, he is . a great favorite among very
many music-loving people in Europe. Ilia city,
Vienna, - graces her shop • windows with
smiumeralsic._ pictures s, and :.. images of . him
self; and enormous - posters- are everYwhere
seen announcing- the performance .of his
compositions in letters of gigantic size. At
Court, Strauss is regarded as the only man who
can lead a waltz or direct a polka. A brother,
named Edward, is a line musician, and helps to
keepthe ball rolling by working his pretty little
orchestra upon all available occasions. Strauss,
by many, is considered a sort of miniature mu
sical god, whP, by the brilliancy and sprightliness
of his pieces, has won for himself an agreeable
but not great reputation. M. Bilse, at the Expo
sition last season, thought he must have him for
a time, and have him he did, at a sum equal to
one thousand dollars per week for personal ser
vices. Tiers Strauss had a fine orchestra at
his disposal, which played twice each day at the
Cassie International.. lie condescended to con
duct only for the performance'of his own com
positions, M. Bilse undertaking all else. Then he
goes to London and for weeks coins money at
the Covent Garden Theatre in promenade con
cert, at an admission fee of a shilling a head.
Now his name is rising immensely among us,
-- taid - itUrigitrere"long - he may- think it- will she
almost a certain venture to imitate the example
of Jullien, and make himself fora time the auto
crat of musical entertainmentsin sober Philadel
phia, literary Boston and degenerated New York.
Let him comes we will welcome him and treat
him handsothely. We need' a little"Of his enthu
siasm, a little of his knowledge.
But throwing aside mere speculation, Herr
Strauss is really a remarkable man. l'in% life he
instils into an orchestra, and through it Into an
audience, is astonishing, lie does , notlead a
waltz in concert as in the ball-room. Instead of
the strict adhesion to time and correctness of
movement, liberties of vow/tom-ice and aiiiiosc
abctralop are introduced in such a way as to ron
do, the music at times passionate; then cold, and
fur a moment fairly unfeeling; and, again
quickening into a ',rote), it becomes wild , ,
and fiery, as if the very height of °tette.;
meat was to la) reached; the entire
force of instruments' playing as one, animated
by the same wonderful baton, shaking the very
walls and making the blood fairly burn in rap
turtins enjoyment. Then the turning point is
past; the melody is more subdued, and the gradual
diminnendd and ritenuto increase "until only by
the triple time one recognizes the waltz move
ment. Again, like a blast from the• clouds, the
original tempo and forte flash upon us, and the
race is recommenced. ,We see only Strauss; we
think not of his orchestra. The motions of that
one man express everything, At times it seems
as if he could not refrain from actually dancing
and every muscle in his body appears to be in
play. To ace the leader conducting and not hear
the music at the same moment, would be one of the
most laughable sights imaginable. The variety
.of movements, the apparently ridiculous antics
would afford study for en acrobat. But when we
hear his orchestra, with him at its head ; when we
feel his wonderful power while his whole mind is
occupitd in imparting to the musicians his Own
conceptions, then these peculiar gynmastks
seem to us like a language of signs, understood by
every musical mind whoa first Been. Such is the
man, and how could his compositions be difft.r
ent from his character ? There is a peculiarity
in the music of Strauss which is strikingly origi
nal. Played by a fine orchestra is the only
way in which it appears to us in its proper light.
All the Instruments must be ably represented;
noteven the most unassuming should be omitted;
for this composer of oddities seems always to
have the most work for thole which might least
expect it. The airs or melodies of the waltzes are
usually themselves without much merit, but the
multiplicity of ideas crowded about them, the
general manner of their arrangement with regard
to the lesser parts, as well as the beauty of the
time-marking, produce an effect which really de
ceives many as to the musical worth of the pieces.
The introductions are almost as novel as the
regular waltz movements. A slow succession of
modulations; a peculiar sort of cadence, a fairly
distreSsing,chord, striving to deceive the listener
as to what will follow, and then the most grace
ful of dances Is commenced. An ambitious flute,
carrying the air, is chased about by the imperti
nent little piccolo, as if jealous of the part its
rival 'had In the melody; when suddenly the
cornet steals the air from the quarrelsome
whistlers and, running away, keeps it until the
almost human cello gets the soprano and at
tempts to charm its companions with
the beauty of its tone. Then the sober
fagotti remonstrate with the horns, and
the oboe picks a quarrel with the clarinette, re
gardless of the efforts of the violins to keep
up happy appearances by a lightning accompa
niment, flying from upper to lower register, and
giving to the affair a wonderful brilliancy and
finish. The only members of this boisterous party
which remember their fearful responsibilities and
act accordingly, are the great pendulums of the
orchestra—the contra bassi. These paternal
looking instruments never forget that upon them
hangs the fate of the performance, and that
should they vary from perfect time and the ex
act swing of the movement, the result would be
a chaos of sounds such as is rarely heard.
Almost the entire effect depends upon the cor
rect leading of the waltzes, as the music is not
difficult, and is easily played by musicians of or
dinary ability. But a proper training - for this
particular style, as well as a right conception of
the ideas suggested by the names given by Strauss
to his pieces, is something which one or two of
our musical directors arenow beginning to under
stand ; and we therefore hope that ere long a
Philadelphia orchestra and a Philadelphia leader
will perform these little fantastic waifs in the
manner intended by-the composer._
GENERAL GRAN r.
How Ile Got to West Point.
From the very interesting sketches of General
Grant's early Tile, written by the General's father,
and now being published by Mr. Robert Bonner,
in the New York Ledger, we make the following
extract:
One day we were short of hands, and I told
him he would have to go into the beam room
and help me. He had never worked in the
beam room any. The beam room is so called
because in it the hides are worked over beams
when the flesh and hair are taken off with
knives, after they are taken out of the lime-vat.
Ile came along and went to work, remarking,
however: "Father, this tanning is not the kind
of work I like. I'll work at it though, if you
wish me to, until I am one-and-twenty; but you
may depend upon it, I'll never work a day at it
after that." 1 said to him—"No, f don't want
you to ; work at it now, if you don't like it and
mean to stick to it. I want you to be at work at
whatever you like and intend to follow. Now
It hat do you think you would like?" He replied
that he would like to be a farmer; :t down-the
river trader; orrget an education.
I had no farm except the one which my wife
nherited, lend that was rented out: I had no
idea t,f letting him be a down-the-river trader ;
I had money, but I required it in my business,
for it took capital to carry that on, and I could
not withdraw enough to educate hint without
mippling my - business. I thought of West P•Ant;
ro I said to him, "How would you like West
Point: You know the education is free there,
and supports the cadets. 7, "First
rate," said be.
I immediately wrote to -Mr. Morris, one of our
Senatots in Congress from Ohio, andi asked him
if he knew of any vacancy at West Point, the
appointment to which he could control. Ile re
'lied promptly that there was a vacancy trout
our own Congressional district. This surprised
me; for I knew that there had been an appoint
ment to fill that vacancy a year before. It
turned out, hOwever, that the young man who
had been appointed had failed to pass examina
tion. His father, who was a proud-spirited
man, kept it a secret . and did riot let hls eon,
return to the' neighborhood, but ... placed'
him at the private military school of Cap
tain Partridge. After spending six months at
that school the young man made another attempt
to enter West Point; but failed a second time to
pass the examination. This young man failed,
not from a want of talent, but because he did not
apply himself to study. He entered the army as
a volunteer after the war broke 'out, and perished
in the war; whether at the hand or the enemy; or
by accident, was never known, his body having
been found in.. a river into which he had fallen
from a bridge. His mother beeeme and remains
a devoted friend of General Grant. She has al
ways watched his career with the deepest inter
est.
Our Representative in Congress at that time
was the Hon. Thomas L. Hamer. I wrote right '
on to him stating that Senator Morris had in
formed me that there was a vacancy, and request
ing him to appoint Ulysses. My letter rcachgd
him on the night of the 3d of March; on the next
day, the 4th ; his term of office expired. He knew
Ulysses, and was glad to have an opportunity to
appoint such a boy, after the bad luck which had
attended his previous appointee ; so he
made the appointment at once.
A day's delay in the mail tint
carried to , letter would have made some differ
ence in the history of ono man, if not of the cmp
try. Ulysses was entirely unprepared by any
previous study, pursued with special reference to
fitting for West Point, but be got through the ex
amination and Was admitted. I never saw him
while at West Point, except on the occasion of
one visit; which he made to his home during,
the Inrimigh at the end of his second year.
It was said of - him that while lhere he was
not one who 'WA - Tutus. to make himself
popular,-but that all the boys liked him. I lA , -
neve he went by the name of " Uncle Sam,"
on account of his initials, "U. 8." A supersti
tious person might almost think there was some
thing PrOvidential about these significant initials
being stuck' on to him; for the were not 11,1Veri
w him at his christening. When the question
arose after his birth what he should be called, his
Mother and one of his aunts proposed Albert, for
Albert Gallatin; another aunt propmed Theodore;
his grandfather proposed Hiram, because he
thought-that was a handsome name. His grand-

seconded that, and- he was christened Hiram
Ulysses; but ho was always called by the latter
name, which he himself pteferred,l when ho got
old enough to know about it. But Mr. Hamer,
knowing Mrs. Giant's name was Simpson, and
that we had a son named. Simpson, somehow got
the matter a little mixed in making the nomina
tion, and sent the name in, UlAses S. Grant, in
stead of Hiram Ulysses Grant. My son tried in
vain, afterwardq, to get it set right by the autho
rities; sad I suppose ho is now content with his
name as it stands.

CITY BULLETIN.
Tilt: HionwAys.—The streets of
the city were never in a worse condition than
they aro at the present time. Many of them—
those occupied by passenger railwayss in parti
cular—are almost entirely unlit for use by any
kind of vehicles. Walnut street, from Eleventa
to Sixteenth, with the exception • of the
railway track, is entirely blocked
up. On each side of the track the snow is banked
up, and in no one place is it less than about four
feet high. ]tie simply impossible for vehicles to
pass each other and citizens are also put to great
inconvenience. No person can get across the
street except at the corners, nor can residents get
to or from carriages which may stop in trout of
their houses. Pretty much the same state of
things exists in various sections of we city, but
the obstruction on Walnnt street continues for
such a length of the street that it is the
most outrageous instance which has come
under our notice. The street cleaning
department cannot be held .responsible for this
bad condition of our thoroughfares. It is the
duty-of-the passenger railway companies to re
move the snow from the streets, butt:inlets& some
means are taken to make those monopolies con
form to the law, our streets will continue to be
obstructed for some time p c t.
An .ordiutitteSACl l'eulate Passenger Rail

"Sac. 3. That all Railroad Companies as afore

said road during the continuance of the snow,
they shall provide comfortable sleighs, or other

or neglect to do so for the space of ten days from
the date of such notice, then and in such cases

complied with; and the City reserves the right In
II such cases to repair or repave such streets. and
the expense thereof shall be a judgment upon the

coverable as judgments are now recoverable by
the City of Philadelphia."
Mr. Mahlon H. Dickinson, the Chief Commis
sioner.of Highways, has always been known to
discharge faithfully and energetically the duties
of any position which he tills, and as it Is clearly
within his province to take cognizance of these in
structions, it is to he hoped that he will at once
adopt the necessary: measures to have the Pas
sager Railway Companies:respect the laws , and.
thus relieve our streets of their obstructions and
our citizens of a great nuisance.
Loposits IN 'MY. POLICI3 Sv.vrioNs.—The Third •
District Police Station is now overrun with per
sons seeking lodgings at night. After packing
the applicants away in as comfortable a manner
as it is possible. many have lo.be turned away al

night . GO. The npmber lodged on any of these
three nights is much In excess of the number pro

the Station was established. At the other Police
Stations in the city the same trouble is expe
rienced in•getting places for the persons who are
unfortunate enough to have no homes or the ne
cessary change to obtain the. use of a bed.
AN OLD DODGE 1114;1VE1).—YeStertjay two men
stopped at the house of Mr. Henry N. Martin,
No. 580 Spruce street, and represented that they
bad been tent to inspect the gas pipes. Under
the supposition that everything was right, the
• men were allowed to pass up stairs. After re
maining a short time, they left the premises. It
was subsequently found that a valuable gold
watch had disappeared, and it was evidently car
ried off by the "gas inspectors." Our citizens
saiould be on the look out;for these fellows, and
admit to their dwellings no rftrsiiiifi ort . such
errands, unless they have the proper credentials
from the Gas 0111ce.

AT No CosT.---What a doleful sound do these
words convey to arrant quacks, who make physic
and Cayenne pepper or turpentine liniments for
a livingl Dr. Wolcott stops all pain at no cost.
He condemns all pills, physic or medicines of any
kind taken in the stomach. and shows most con
clusively, by his circular, that all who swallow
medicine are always sick and complaining. He
proves beyond all denial that all pain can be
removed by an applisation of P.ktn PAINT whether
the cause of the pain be inside of the body or on
the surface. It certainly proceeds from inflam
mation and PAIN PAINT removes Inflammation,
faster, cures permanently, quicker, and is posi
tively safer than any other known remedy. It
invigorates the whole system, and cures the
most hopeless cases of paralysis of the
longest standing. Relief comes at the very
first application. Dr. Wolcott : ls also the inven
tor of the only standard remedy for Catarrh and
colds in the head, the Annihilator, which has the
written endorsement of over one thousand phy
sicians and chemists of New York. If a remedy
is of value let.it.be proved at once. Turpentine
and pepper lininaents hate utterly failad,and very
few fools arc silly enough to purchase a heating
liniment for the purpose of stopping heat and in
flammation. Dr. Wolcott has offered the mann
factnrers of these worthless nostrums of a past
age $lOO if they will prove in public that they can
remove pain for ten persons in one hundred woo
apply, $l,OOO more if they will produce a remedy
that removes all pain as soon and is harmless as
PAIN Pneicr.
The people pause for an answer.

Tits: papers throughout the country are pro
claiming the safety, at the late burning of Barnum's
Mnscom, of the female giantess. We suppose thut
other curiosity, the walle gia nlesv, teas destroyed
along with the °thatanimals. One of the most curi
ous things in oar city, thouo,ll not BO strange as a
"male giantess," Is how such line ready-made clothing
as is sold at Charles Stokes S Co.'s Clotk lug House,
under the Continental, can be sold at the low price it
is offered at to the public. Strange, indeed.
