Visitors to the Renaissance Section of the Louvre
museum are attracted by a life-like bust, occupy
ing a post, or pedestal, of honor in the centre of
the room, between the two ficlavoni of Michel-
Angelo. The bust is of life-size, in terracotta,
and represents a half-querulous, half-grim old
man, attired In the simple Florentine bonnet and
scholar's gown, and twisting his bead and his
eyes to the right with a life-like interrogative ex
pression. Behind the shoulders,rudely scratched
into the substance of the clay, one may spell out
the name lienivieni,in antique letters. No one can
pass that pedestal without pausing a moment to
ask what this quaint media:NW Italian is demanding
so te , ,tily of his stars, or his fates, or his muse.
Nevertheless. archaic as is the subject of the
work, doubts have always prevailed In art-circles
as to its authenticity. It haS been remarked that
the head, though full of antique expression, has
not precisely the trick of modeling of the fif
teenth century. The identity is rather one of
sympathy and Intelligence than of downright
technical manner. As some of Browning's mull
:cud poems are more medlseval,than the age they
depict, so of this now famous head ; we see in
it—that is to say, we all clearly see since
the question is finally settled—the self-conscious,
too-olever antiquarian study of a modern archLe
ologlat. Nevertheless, the minute cutting of the
wrinkles in the hollow cheeks, the separate at
tention given to the sparse locks, the treatment
of the corners of the eyes and lips, are strangely
plausible and carry back the thought to the ages
of exact portraiture, and the drawings of Hol
beim, Durex, and the But artists point
questioningly to the eyes, treated with comma
shaped intaglios for the pupils; a very modern
"gag" of pictorial sculpture.
The antiquarians, who are not artists, were set
in commotion by the arrival of this treasure at
Paris. ill. de Nolives, an antiquary of distinction,
had purchased it for seven thousand francs from
a Signor Frappe, art-merchant, and boasted
everywhere of his invainable bargain. Nothing
In terracotta had come down to our century so
perfect, so alive, so 'needed with the shrewd con
scientiousness of early Florentine art. The name
upon the back fixed the original of the portrait
as that of (4erome Benivieni, poet, and friend of
Savonarola. Upon the &pension of the de
Naves collection, it was bought in his private
capacity by the Comte de Nieuerkerke, who is
Minister of the Emperor's Household and of the
Fine Arts, and pissed conspicuously in his resi
dence at the Tuileries. Finally, the Count parted •
with his terracotta to the Louvre.
But, 4lnce the days of QnLiotte, and before,
antiquarians have been ealled•upon from time to
time to "stand and deliver" their illusions.
Bestial:tint is a hardworking bust-maker of
. „
Florence. Joseph Bonianti is a poor, honeet
manufacturer of tobacco in the same city., And
the bust is a portrait of Bordantl, the tobacconist,
made by `Bastianini, stamped by him with an
ancient name, and worked into the antiquity
market in a perfectly illegitimate and Brnmena
,
gem manner.
The secret was popped by ti jealous fellow
sculptor, one Ocearini, who upon the excitement
created over Europe bribe wonderfUl Seerseott ,a
came forward and declared that he had watched
Basttanini modeling at ; it; and that the resent

Tnekerman on Hamilton the Painter.
We find in Tuckennan's recent book of art
biography and criticism the following friendly
'sketch of our inspired landscape painter :
"James Hamilton, well-known as the spirited
Illustrator of Dr. Kane's Arctic Expedition, came
to the United States, from Ireland, in Infancy.
His first experimenta were in water colors; land
scapes, especially coast scenes in oil, s oon en
gaged his pencil. Being enthusiastic and assidu
-01313, be gained rapidly In the estimation of critics
and lovers of art In Philadelphia, where he was
established as a marine painter. Fond of contrast
and effect, he excelled in sea fights. i his "Capture
m
of the Sepis" and "Old Ironsides" gained no
little commendation. The former picture has
been vividly described by ono of. the artist's
riends :
" 'The capture of the Berapis is, of course, the
brilliant historic achievement of John Paul Jones,
in the war of 1812. The picture represents a
lovely, placid summer night; a full moon floats
amid a masts of cumulous clouds; there is just a
ripple on the sea in which the moonlight glints
and sparkles; In the distance groups of shipping
and the outline of the English coast loom with
a eat, shadowy vagueness; all tho accessories
are In profoundest repose. Into this solemn
hush of night, this intense calm, he has lung the
roar 'and crash and carnage of that terrible sea
tragedy. The two vessels are side by side in
deadliest grapple. The flames from the 'burning
Bonne Homme Richard, rut and ghastly as
if with the blood of the dead below, twirl
and coil about the masts and rigging,
and stream far up into the heaven, staining the
%bite radiance of the night. Wild figures rush
across the decks, the flash of the guns gleams
tierce and vindictive through the darker flames of
the conflagration, and, reflected In the water be
neath; wreathes a distorted repetition of the lurid
scene. ' Nothing could be finer or more dramatic
than the contrast of sentiment here. The deadly
struggle of human passion below imparts to the
mooaght an added pitying tenderness, as It
were, and the moonlight In turn enhances the
awfultiess of the tragedy. In this picture the
human element is active. Nature is passive. In
the 'Old Ironsides' this arrangement is reversed.
The subject la taken from the following lines In
Dr. Holmes' poem of the same title:
' 0, better that her shattered hulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
lier thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be ker grave.
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms— •
The lightning and the gale!'
"Among the other best-known pictures of
Hamilton are: "An Egyptian filmset," "Wrecked
Hopes," "A laleeldight Beene near Venice," a
, Lumber of subjects from the Arabian
:.Nights', and a weird yletnre illustrative of Cole
-
ridge's Ancient Mariner. From the contrast of
sut'jeats, it is evident that thescope of
this artist ranges from the most serene_ly Unagi"
native to the wildest natural scales.. His style
is bold and !reel' he does nit 'ahn' at 'high finish;
ho is the reverse of literal, and alms to give em
phatically his own feeling and sense of a subject.
He is best known for his Illustrations of Dr.
Kane's book, of which Bkzel. - wood's Magazirte
says—'The engravings of Dr. none's book are
eminently happy; the production'Of a man who
is a real poet in art, and invest the whole work
with a halo of romance mysterious as the effects
of light in these northern regions, and which
could scarcely have beeAt produced by the power
of words.'"
Dim Kemble's seventh Bending
Last night, at Concert Hall, the largest au
dience of the season assembled to hear Mrs.
Kemble read 7'he Merchant of Vonce.. The usual
number of strangely inconsiderate and self-sacrl
fleing people lugged their volumes of Shakes
peare along with them, and sat following the
reader line upon line,wholly oblivionti of the fact
that they were missing the best portion of the
entertainment. Mrs. Keinble must hive Foaled
and bewildered these . people not a little,
for she cut the drama unsparingly, thus
giving them further occasion for distracting their
attention from her personation. Bat the play
was pruned judiciously. She retained all of the
sweet poetry,and there is much of it, despite the
anomalies, incongruities and impossibilities
which cluster about the plot and the text, and
notwithstanding the harsh and cruel character of
Shylock, Of Mrs. Kemble's presentation of the
play nothing need be said in detail. Any further
praise of her genius and skill would be super
fluous. The entertainment was fully as good as
any that have preceded it, and the
familiarity of play-goers with the drama
,teelf made perceptible the fact that
Mrs. Kemble's reading of certain passages differs
widely from that of other Shakespearian scholars.
This was especially observable in the case of Por
tia's noble appeal, beginning "The quality of
mercy is not strained." The reader departed In
a great measure from the conventional method
of speaking this, and her rendition seemed to be
satisfactory and just. This afternoon the series
closes with Hamlet. It is, understood, however,
that Mrs. Kemble will return In May and read
Several of the plays omitted during her present
engagement.

BIERLIN, March 11, 1868.—Themisalon of Prince
Napoleon is still the subject of the most varied
comments. There is reason for believing that
his visit to Berlin has really a political signifi
cance. We cannot now know the exact • nature
of the work in which he is engaged, but enough
has transpired to enable us to see that the Empe
ror Napoleon meditates, or says he meditates,
a move in the East, and that he desires
to ascertain what would be the.views of this gov
ernment in the event of his attempting ,
to realize his designs.. The Prince
makes -no definite --crposals, ;but
only announces a general intention and re
quests a reply in the same indefinite vein. ,How
ever obscure his communications may be, they
have force by his giving pee le to understand
that according to the answer given he may be in
structed to continue his jonmeyeither to Vienna
or to St. Petersburg. A mission of such shadowy
outlines must of course, give birth to an infinity
of rumors. In one of the reports concern
ing the,Prince's visit here,f published by some
of the Berlin papers, he is represented as having
mentioned the re-establishment of Pelattd aa an
infallible moans of coMPo ll ing` She 404 1nleseenen

OUR. WHOLE COUNTRY.
Wishing to co-operate on my part to obtain
this end, 1 have compiled from my correspon
dence, as Minister of the Republic at Washing
ton, tow in the Department of Foreign Affairs,
the part that refers to Maximilian's execution, as
to the effect it produced in the United states and
Europe t and the consequences that might have
arisen from it. This correspondence contains
some interesting facts, which I think better to
make public, and which tend to a better under
bonding of the wise policy that the Cabinet at
Washington has followed In our affairs. I have
translated also the principal documents that the
United States Government published on this sub
ject, some of which are of the highest interest.
L therefore, offer all this information to my
fellow-citizens, animated by the sincerest desire
to present the facts as they really are, believing
that they will not be ill received, now that we
may view this event from its historical bearing
and with the impartiality that the lapse of several
months gives.
As the incident of tho arrival at Vera Cruz of
Don Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna on July of
1867 Is related to it, I will have to insert several
documents bearing on the question, reserving , to
myself the right of publishing afterward, in
separate volume, all the others that refer to it, as
my belief is that its importance requires that it
should be dine so for the benefit of the country.

The Russian Imagine Against Turkey
—Reduction ot,the Imperial Army.
A letter from Vienna, dated the 29th of Feb.
raary, says :—The whole Russian press and cer
tain other journals affect to feel commiseration
for the fate of the Ottoman empire, which they
represent as a great nation standing in need only
of good ministers and honest public servants.
nue is the repetition of the story of the mote , and
the beam. On the other hand, they praise highly
the Shah of Persia's government and the admin
istration of the country. If the Eastern world is
to be regenerated the work, they say, can
only be begun at. Teheran. At the same time, and
as a corollary to all this, the report is spread that
the Sultan is furious with the Shah, that he is
contemplating the expulsion from the Ottoman
territory of such Persian subjects as are within
it, and the number of these even is given as com
prising forty thousand families who would by
this measure be thrown book into their own coun
try and the adjoining deeerts. Here you see the
object of these schemes, which are oontinually
increasing in dimension. Compelled by the en
ergetic attitude of the three Powers to let the Ron
man, Bulgarian, Servian and Candlote questions
alone, the concoctors of these disputes are labor
ing to get up a Turko-Persian quarrel. Should
a conflict arise between , thosetWo enapirei,3 7 —and
in 'MC &Meestate of Matters this is not impos
sible—the Ottoman Power in Ettropemr Turkey
would receive thereby so terrible a shock that a
few bands of adventurero, skillfully led, would
suffice to bring about ' a catastrophe which
is complacently regarded- as being indefinitely
postponed. Thus, until further - htformed, the
understanding is that everything is for, the beet in
Roumania and genia.
. The General Correepoodesoe of Vienna, has 'the
following: In virtue of a supreme decision of
the 18th of Februa7. 1. The military beads ex
cept those of the infontry regiments are abolished
from the 31st of March. 2. All the squadrons of
Flaky are reduced, to 98 MI each: 3.. The cr.
ry ammunition Wagons am suppressed,
and will consequently no loeger require

latter by five. ' 5. On the other hand the. Sixth

'Meanwhile, , Prince Napoleon is moat thoroughly
"seeing" Berlin. He la indefatigable. He visits
palaces, barracks, libraries . and public institu
rtions of every description, paying the chiefest
! <and closest attention to everything in a military
sine. He - has not only inspected several itfantry
:and artillery barracks, but be has also witnessed
regimental drills and sham fights. There seem,
not to be the least objection to giving him
n insight into all the mysteries
of the needle-gun, and he has oven been taken to
the model foundry of the Ordnance Department,
, where were made the new cannon of the Prussian
army. His mornings are taken tin in 'sight

evenings are given to visits, dinners, etc. In ad
dition to the usual festivities in the royal - palace,
the Prince has been given entertainments by the
French and English Ambassadors, and ()mint
Bedern, the Grand Chamberlain of the Court.
The property of King George is being seques
trated, his palettes at Hanover and Harrenhansen
having been placed under the seal of the Royal'
Commissioners. No sequestration has as yet
been possible in the ease of Count Platen, the
hereditary estates of his family being exclusively
claimed by his father and elder brother. The
Count is in some personal danger. His extra
dition will probably be demanded from Anatria,
tinder an agreement providing for the" giving up
of political offenders. This agreement, strangely
enough, was made about thirty years ago by
legitimist statesmen for the prevention of demo
gognes from either country taking refage in the
other.
When the navy estimates were recently dis
cussed in the Danish Lower House, all the
speakers based their arguments on hopes of a fu
ture war of retaliation against Germany. It is
thought that this will surely bo cited by this
Government as an excuse for not ceding a por
tion of Schleswig, as stipulated at Prague.
The Execution of Maximilian.
The following is a translation from the official
paper of the Mexican Government of February
ultimo :
[Diplomatic Correspondence on Maximilian's Execution.]
"We are informed that Mr. Romero has in
print, and is about to publish, the correspondence
of the Mexican Legation at Washington with
the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Repub
lic and the State Department of the United
States, on the captnrc,trial and execution of Don
Fernand Maximilian, of Hapsburg, which will
make a volume of three or four hundred pages in
quarto.
We insert here the following preface to said
torrespondence:
INTORDIIGTION
The execution of Mr. Frenand MILT Trillion has
been,without donbt,one of the most notable events
of the present time; not only because it was a just
chastisement that fell on one of those persons
who, by their origin and position,consider them
selves in this world entitled to impunity, but
also because it defied the most powerful nations
of Occidental Europe. The impression this event
made abroad can scarcely be imagined here. The
consequences that have followed, and will follow
it, have been and will be also of the greatest im
portance.
Scarcely bad this memorable event taken
place when several of the foreign Governments
hastened to publish the diplomatic corm§pon
;tenet of their chanceries on thie, subject. The
execution took place on thei 19th of June,lB67,
and on the Bth of July the United, States Con
sten 'asked the Prealdent,, - Andrew Johnaon, for
any correspondence the American Government
might bare hearing on this grave subject. It
was sent to the State Department on
the 18th, and published soon atter by Con.-
gress. Notwithstanding the importance ()cads
event, which was greater for Mexico than for
anv other nation, including France.- and Ans
tri-a, no other official publication has been
made hitherto on it than the-very incomplete
one contained is a number of the official paper
of San Lubt Potosi, which was issued on the
same day of the execution, and a memorandum
of Maximilian's,coruisel, which presents only
one side of the question not very favorable to
the cause -of Mexico. 3faximilian's complete
trial, which ought to have been published on the
week following the execution, has not come to
light yet. The whole world anxiously awaits the
presentation of our own view of the question.
The honor and good name of the Republic are
interested at the same time that we should do this
as soon as possible.

Shortly in the army budget.
The recent marriage of the Archduke Henry of
Austria with Mlle. Hoffmann, the actress, sug
gests the following reflections to the Augsburg
Gazetle;—Before his marriage the Archduke asked
to be relieved of his command as general of a
division at Brunn. Now that he is married he
Las been deprived, that of his colonelcy of the
Sixty-third infantry, which has been. given to
Prince Louis,' of Bavaria, husband of the Arch
duchess Maria ThereSa; finally, his resignation
as Lieutenant-General has been accepted, and
he has now no military position whatever.
Wren formerly, the Archduke Stephen fell
into &grace he retained his military rank and
his regiment. Possibly this affair may give rise
to a Aeries of interesting questions. For instance,
the marriage contracted by the Archduke Henry
is null according to the domestic law of the Im
perial family, because it has been entered into
without the assent of the Emperor, and yet it is
valid in the eyes of the Church. The question,
too, may be asked, la what form shalthe wife of
the Archduke be addressed, since, evidently, she
has not become Archducheaa and cannot bear the
name of her husband ,• and, on the other hand,
neither special appellation nor titles have been
bestowed upon her."

That there is in Tennessee such an organths.-
lion as the one above-named no doubt can be
entertained. It is true the conservative press
and party attempt to ridicule the idea, and the
denounce and stigmatize as weak and over-credu
lous those who believe in the existence of the
Kuk-Klux Klan; yet does such ridicule disprove
their existence? Does it disarm them of murde
rous intent and wicked purpose? Can the rebel
and conservative press whistle high-handed
murder and terrorism down the wind?
Will derision and sneers give us back to life
the pale . victims of their fiendish wickedness ?
Yes, the Kuklux Mans exist. They are known
to be formidable in Middle and West Tennessee.
Their murderous, bushwacking conduct in the
counties of Dyer,
Lincoln and Rutherford are
now matters of history. Their organizations
have not appeared in force in many points in
East Tennesse,but they are evidently organizing.
As they burrow in darkness and skulk behind
mysterious names and forms, they may think to
escape detection, and oven to elude suspicion.
Yet they are observed,and their movements more
known than themselves imagine. Who Make
up these organizations ? They are rebels
and conservatives—men who fought in the ranks
of the rebel armies during the war, and those who
then sympathized with them, bat who, through
sheer cowardice, gaze the battle-field a wide
berth. Those conservatives fully sympathize
with "the lost cause" now. •They work' for. it,
vote for it when they can, plan for-it, and now,
at last, go into Kukla' Elans t in - help by law- -
lawless violence, riot and murder, what can no
longer be kept alive by fair, legitimate methods.
What are their objects?:. 'Precisely the objects that
have animated the,whole rebel (mew, frein Jeff.
Davis - down to,-the veriest piny that huzzalied
for the rebellion all along.during the war. .They
hate loyalty, and the men who uphold and em
body Jr: Loyalty in black or white is so odious
to.them, and especially in black men, that they
cannot refrain 'from venting their hell-inapired
malignity upon them. They seek' to'compass
their objects by intimidating colored men, and
by wreaking vengeance upon white radicals.
Their objects are the overthrow of loyalty, which
they loathe and hate, by any , and every means,
whether right or wrong, lawful or unlawful, hon
orable or despicable, true or false, and more gen
erally by the latter than the former. Union
men, leaguers, beware of them; watch them; spot
them. In nearly every county you have strength
sufficient to make yourselves terrible to these
midnight assassins and lawless desperadoes, and
to visit swift and signal punishment on those
fiends in human form who may break the peace
of the country and mob and terrify honest, mno. ,
cent citizens, and if in any case you lack the
numbers or the means to do this there are
more than a million swords ready to be un
sheathed to avenge your tall or to faci
litate your victory. Especially in East Tennessee
are you numerous and strong enough to hold
the situation. Our counsel once for all is, that
whenever these vile miscreants make their ap
pearance among us, mounted, booted and
spurred, and however disguised, let the white
and colored radicals meet them promptly, and in
the spirit of their own lawless mission, and dis
perse them, and if need require this in dispersing
them, exterminate them. At all events, and at
whatever cost, let these inhuman scoundrels
learn that in East Tennessee at least they will
not be allowed to carry forward this cowardly,
miserably sneaking kind of warfare. We
speak earnestly because the owaslon demands,
it. Bat we are calm—we were never more so.
Desperate cases require desperate remedies. If
the Kuklux Kians attempt to run riot over oar
law, order and the public safety by these mid
night raids. in disguise and darkness, then let
force be met and punished by superior force.
Pull off their visors and expose their faces and
their foul crimes at once to the light of the sun
and to the gaze of merited scorn of an indignant,
outraged public.
To prevent any misunderstanding as to the au
thorship of this article, we append our name.

The Connecticut Child !Murder.
The Hudson O. Y.) .Repister of March 23d
contains the following additional developments
concerning the brutal murder of a child in Ca
naan, Conn,. and the arrest of a Mr. and Mrs.
Brown, in Hartford, charged with committing
the deed. They are now in !jail in Hudson,
awaiting trial.
On Saturday last a man went to the jail in this
city and asked that he might be allowed to see
Mr. and Mrs. Brown; the parties now awaiting
trial, charged with being the perpetrators of the
Canaan child murder. This privilege was ac
corded the stranger, who gave his name as
Wil
liima Hickey, and asserted , that he had been sent
from Connecticut by Brown's half brother to
make a statement which was regarded as of great
Importance. After some effort Mr. Hickey was
induced to tell the story, which was in substance
as follows:
Hickey, with another man—both painters by
trade—were in Canaan the day Angie Brown was
killed or died. They were inquiringfor work,and
it being noticed, that Hickey was a Frenchman
they were referred to Brown. They went to
Brown's house in the evening and inquired for
bun; but Hickey says that he was told by a little
girl who came to the door that both Mr. and Mrs.
Brown had gone aWay. From Canaan Hickey
and his companion went to Vermont; and after
the lapse of several months he brought up a few
days since in Connecticut, whore her fell-In with
brown's bait Prother,_heard the story of the sup
poSed murder, told ids own story and then came
to this city.
Hickey, we learn, has had interviowe with the
Browns' counsel and the District Attorney; but
, nothing of any importance was elicited further
than given above. This statement of Hickey
agrees with what Brown told one of our ofticers
at the time of his arrest, which was detailed to
to us this morning by the *Meer to whom it was
told. •Brown said he could prove by two men
that he was absent from the house, and that the
girl was seen by them during his absence.
Hickey was rather a snopielous-looklng char
acter, and while at the jail was kept u,1111.0Z etriet
