Bo fresh, so brave, so generent,—and then so venerable and imposing, I scarcely know whether to present him as some restless, immortal boy,, capriciously masquerading in silver hair,--or as a magnificent graybeard, sphered in the sanctity of his hundred years, with the keys of science and art beneath his grand white hand. —I beg to speak of M. the Comte de Waldeck.— Born the 16th of March, 1766, the Count has fairly - turned his hundred and second rite. I have not seen him, I confess, with my own eyes, since Washington's birth-day of this year, when I happened tor pay my respects; but some men tion of him through mutual acquaintance, and the exhibition in the present Salon of the picture on which I then saw him working, have re called him vividly to my mind again, and placed him, as it were, as the most prominent figure under my pen as I sit down to write. Only the other day, as I am told, while step ping too briskly into the carriage upon the sortie from a morning call, the venerable Count fell heavily, striking his bead. His young Countess, leaping from the vehicle, saw her noble husband stretched on the pavement, with no more sense or movement than the fallen Memnon at Thebes. "He Is dead !" exclaimed the unhappy lady, with all the accent of a frightful widowhood. But she had not calculated upon the resources of that charmed Ilfe.—The Count is now painting merrily again in his pleasant studio, bent on proving to his wife that he is still an existent fact. He vows he will never forgive the beauti ful sceptic. - -On the afternoon of the 22d of February. being Saturday and Count Waldeck's receiving day, I clambered up the brbad turning staircase, dark with age., of the hotel in the Rue des Mar- tytt e. Reaching, presently, the fifth floor,'l rung, —not without s.me envy of those wonderfully stalwart limbs that daily bear their century's weight of years up and down the height of 20 many lofty storeys. Received with the most graceful dignity by .the Countess (a beautiful Anglaise who, some two-score years ago, capti ated a heart of eighty pars' experience), I found sn)self, in a few minutes, among the more se cluded privileges of the painting-room. Here, mounting a shocking gray flapped hat, my wonderful host was all himself. He is a super b reitlardLof great height, straight as a dart, with the shoulders of Nilo and a fine, full'bodily habit. His broad, resolute jaw is hung with the complete beard, which glitters like a fringe of iciclts; and the snow-white hair is still thick upon the developments of massive head, and ;its in a heacy drift over the wide brow. The baollate steadiness of nerve in his large, taper hands 4 was incredible. Re touches the point of ;he sable pencil upon the canvas with amazing precision and sleight. The walla of the studio were covered with copies; some of Raphael, by hinfsell; others the precious treasures that one "picks up." A well imagined group, in classic costume and set in a Greek interior, lay unfinished near at'hand. But in the centre of the room, upon the principal easel, lay the picture which I have just mentioned ss being exposed in the Salon of the Palace of the Elyse;es. It represents a group of the priceless curiosities of the BibliotheEque du Louvre, to which but few artists would have access. The sumptuous articles of bric-a-brac Of every age and civilization are heaped into one small pile, worth the revenue of kings. The niello work, the repousse ware of Cellini, the delicate vase of porcelain or Venetian crystal, the antique bronie dug from the Vesuvian ashes, contrast their ex quisite forms and unfaded colors. "Do you know this head?" said the Count, in dicating a small, tawny-colored bust, apparently of terra-cotta, which figured in the upper left of his composition. "It Is one of four or five known likenesses of Cleopatra. It is among the most esteemed treasures of the Bibilotheque." I looked with interest at the full-checked, full- Lipped face, with its Egyptian curves just reluct antly controlled by the Greek, and the low volup tuella forehead roller in the horseshoe coif. The scholar-artist had represented the head as mounted on a base of granite, upon which he had depicted a cartonche in intaglio, filled np with the proper style and signet of Cleopatra, composed by himself. The picture, critically speaking, was about half way between a work of art ands work of archeology; the cohir, balance of shade, and such strictly artistic qualities, were very creditable, and the draughtsmanship en tirely finished and beyond criticism. This evi dence gave me great reliance on the designs re presenting another school of curves and types and au unprecedented theory of art—the Ameri can drawings which I am now about to allude to. The Count, I should tell you, passed about a couple of decades in Central America. But if I am to ao into his personal history, I by no means begin there. Let me come to that passage by pr per degrees. Born, as I mentioned, in 1766, the Count was removed from Prague to Paris, as a child of ten, in the first year of American independence. When a youth of nineteen, returning to France from a filght to the Cape of Good Hope he en tered upon the full event of the Revolution, re ceived upon his person the blood of the peerless Princesse de Lamballe, and will show you the picture of Denton, given him as a keepsake.by the leaders a day or two before the affair of Cor day. After the horrors of the 9th Thermidor he quitted France, first managing to save from the Conciergerie the famous traveler Le Valliant, whose friendship he had formed in Africa. At this time, recently of age, strong, ambi tious, indomitable, magnificent, he began a se, riea of adventures which recall the exploits of the medieval chevaliers—but I was not born to, be their troubadour. I can only point to him here and there as the light plays more strongly on his figure from time to time in one quarter of the globe after another; notice the dazzle on his sabre as ho follows Napoleon In the Italian cam paign;. And him dying with thirst among his dead companions in Nubia or Mozambique; then, pushing off from the Cape of Good Hope for the second time, he bids Africa the final adieu—but on this occasion it is in the company of Surcouf, the notable privateer. Captured by the English, he is straightway released—into the society of Sir Walter Scott and the difficult comrade-ship of Byron. Still, wherever he goes, the thirst of knowledge burns in his bosom like a flame, and the glamor of Art with Raphael and Guido and the Carnei for guides, makes all the world a gal lery of forms and models. Directly he leaves England on the expedition of Lord Cochrane, for Chili, and thence presently, urged by his in satiable heart, makes his way northward into. Central America, where he sits down with Indian silence to brood for nearly twenty years among the sculptured prodigies of Palen u 6. It was with no common sensatio that I sat down opposite this centenarian Ulysses, whose life of voyages had hardly seamed his comely face, separated from his person by . a large ports folio of his . American studies. As each sheet was lifted, a light of memory would play in the old Man's fine eyes, and the special circumstance of the drawing, its history or its conjectured subject would be told. These reminiscences were im parted in the Count's excellent English, of which THOMAS T,FlRTstuHre, Tror RASH INTRIISIONS. PHILADELPHIA, ,FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1868. he Is proud enough, and which ha speaks like a native. "The Indian in the foreground of this picture was my guide among the ruins, and my-school master In the Aztec tongue. He was introduced by a Spanish priest in whom ho had confidence; and, though sullen and suspicious at first, I found means to overcome his scruples; but as we bad no language in common, it was not the easi est matter to approach him. He was of uncon taminated .Aztec race, and had held aloof from nearly all contact with Caucasians. I used to re present it to him thus: Your traditional Thsciano phobia is just; but be reasonable; I am pale, but I am not a Spaniard; I believe you have the secret of the true religion, and wish to investigate it. Make me your acolyte. He taught,' me,' said the Count, with fine slyness, "as much religion as was to be found in the country." The prodigious patience with which the details of the most intricate sculpture In existence were made out in these drawings, amazed me, and gave me besides an odd feeling of pity. The photographer now eclipses in a second, for the modern antiquarian, the labor of all these studi ous years. We turned over the reliefs of temple after tem ple, those grotesque, laminating, strangely-sug gestive hieroglyphics which the aborigines wrote over every stone they squared. To travel through the Mexican cities with such a guide was something rare indeed. No feature of interest was allowed to escape me. One sheet displayed a table that could only have resulted from immense erudition. Similar characters were displayed side by side, from the hieroglyphics of ancient nations, modern picture writing races, &c.—concluding with parallel dens from Aztec monuments. "But this column is in Chinese!" "Yes, yes, I know a little Chinese !" "And can yon understand the Mexican signs ?" "That is coming on. I have effected a few ap proximate translations." The perpetual recurrence of the elephant, whether graphically or conventionally represen ted,in a land where there is no trace of his actual existence, was very perplexing. The Christian , ymbol of the Maltese cross, long the puzzle of ethnologists, but probably an emblem of the four winds, bad not escaped his attention. Among the trophies of some conquered and now doubly dead American despot, he had found the modern tkerhalous eagle, symbol of ' the Austrian tyranny. It was repeated In the regalia of Mon te vine, as designed for that monarch by a Vene tian artist in the suite of Cortez, and the Count exhibited a scrupulous copy by his own hand of the portrait and costume as existing among the Spanish archives. The painted leaves succeed each other in the teeming portfolio. It was a dream of unimagined ilantasies. Enormous sculptured discs for calen- Care; anacadonas, with feathers, twisting around the bases of temples:shapeless objects that dizzily resolved themselves into populous human faces —and now a Guatemalan Appollo, finished to excess, his fair and supple limbs couched in leathered robes, and the noble tropic plumes shadowing his etrarge, eagle-like profile. "How incredible," I could not help exclaiming, "that races with such foreheads should ever have accomplished any thing !" The Count thereupon produced his studies of Aztec skulls, demonstrating that the peculiar type of face seen on the monuments resulted from, no artificial compression. Profiles of modern -Indiana, including that of the interpreter just al luded to, were exhibited with the same traits.yet indicating no mental inferiority on the part of the originals. 1 *lluded to the brother and sister from Iximaya,. elute 1853 exploited by showmen all round the world as Aztecs,and recently so disgustingly uni ted in matrimony. "I saw them,'" said the antiquarian. "They were half-breed idiots. I tried them with words In Aztec and Spanish, without eliciting a gleam of consciousness ; yet, they spoke a little En glish." The drawings in question, In many cases, rep resent objects of intense interest to the American ethnologist, now destroyed and lost forever. In other instances they correct the errors of Cattier wood, to whose general accuracy, however, the Count bore' testimony, amid reminiscenses of personal Intercourse. Stephens he never met. Mr. E. G. Squier,who had given him great pleas ure, during the Exposition season, by the exhibi tion of his photographic studies, was warmly alluded to,as a "young" archeologist of promise, and an explorer of fine sagacity and persever anCe. I mentioned Humboldt. "The Baron," said Count Waldeck with great relish, "died on bad terms with me; we were at one time confidential; but his Mexican book was a bit of charlatanry, so bad that I was obliged to publish my opinion. You see Humboldt, visit ing Mexico as a young man, had his bead turned with the reception he received from one of the east-off wives of Iturbide. At her parties he filled his tablets With the long-bow stories of the dons; and his book, which purports to be Belau:L illie evidence, is a hash of drawing-room gossip." The Count is himself an author, having pub lished some of the results of his studies, especially in Yucatan. The portfolio I have mentioned is devoted to the illustrations for a second and ex haustive work, which the wonderful old student is at present preparing for the press with juvenile elan and determination. A few of the drawings have been already put upon the stone, with rare elegance and precision,by the Ceunt's own hand. The forthcoming work, looked for with interest by silvans all over the world, will be in my opin ion one of . the few curiosities of the first class which literature has ever produced. Mr. •Eli K. Nice, of Philadelphia, from whom I had a , mes sage in his capacity of President of the Antiqua rian Society of your city, having thoughtlessly offered some hospitality to the philosopher in ease he could be induced to visit the western shores again, the Count took up the idea with enthusiasm! "Yes I may run over when the spring opens," said this youth of one hundred and two. "I want to get subscribers to my book."_ ENFANT PERDU. the allaseacre at Honey Lake, Nevada• [From the Virginia (Nevada) Enterprise.) Since the massacre of the Pierson family by the Indians, we have had half-a-dozen stories in regard to the affair. We yesterday met B. B. Hall. of Henry Lake Valley, who gave us what we believed to be a true account. The home of the Piersons was at Red Rock, in Long Valley, but during the winter they lived at. Lower Hot Springs, on account of there being an abundance of pasturage for their stock. At the time they were murdered they were re turning to their ranch at Red Rock, and: had not proceeded more than a couple of miles when the Indians attacked them. A man named Cooper was driving a team a considerable distance in ad vance of that of Pierson and family when the Indiana fired on him. A boy who was herding sheep within three hundred yards of the roads raw Cooper fall off his wagon and heard the re port of a gun fired by the Indiana. When he fell, the redskins, four in number,. rushed on him, when he lieu= firing at them with his revolver, and, it is th - ought, killed one of them. The boy at once stripped off all clothes but his shirt and drawers, and ran at the top of his speed to the house of ono Sharp, about nine miles distant. It' appears that, seeing:the Indians attack Cooper,Pierson and his wife and daughter turned back, and attempted to reach the house from winch they started, but were overtaken on the way, and brutallyinurdered by the , savage mon sters._ It Is thought that Pierson was first killed, and that his wife and daughter clung to him until they were in turn murdered. There were sonic half-dozen bullets fired into the body of the husband and father, and all their skulls split open with an axe tliken from their wagon. • Cooper's head was cut off,lda heart cut out and his body covered with Wonnds, probably, on ac count of his having killed or mortally wounded one of the'lndians. John Sutherland, wko was at first reported killed, was a considerable die- OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. tance ahead of Cooper, driving a large herd of stock, and neither heard nor saw anything of the massacre. He arrived safely at his destination with the stock in his charge. It is sup posed that eight Indians were concerned in the murder, as that number has boon seen prowling about the neighborhood. A number of small parties of from ten to fifteen settlers are out scouring the country in search of the In dians.

The Black Crook is rather 'Aladin to the beholder from the front,but li to the manager who contracted for the legs at so much a pair, and arranged the tabloo, it aint so start lin." "Thinkst thou the now programme will result C 7. the President hopes?" "No, the nosey party can't succeed, no more than our last vencher did. It ain't made up Iry the rite material. There's more intelleck than sole in it—more bowels than . heart. There's Chase, Feesenden, Trumbull and Grimes. Chase hez ambition, Grimes hate, and Trumbull and Fessenden dyspepsia, making the ingregencies in the now organization half ambition and hate and half dyspepsia. Never trust a man whose stumick is out nv order—take no stock in him whose bowels is unsound. Intelleck is nothin, heart is nothin, unless there's a stumick under them on wich to build. Chase hez no conshence, Trumbull and Fessenden no gastric joose. Sick men allnz conspire and allnz fail. Still, I'm glad the thing's occurred." "Ef it amounts to nothin, why glad ?" "Becoz it lets Johnson and me out.

Under the storm reboil leave for my quiet Wisconsin home and live in peeve, for be side these later cusses I shell loom up into com parative respectability. Good nite. All is well."

To the naked eye he wuz a splendid specimen, and ho came up to the stand so gallant that notwithstanding he carried in his hand a silver pitcher wich the nig gers ttv Cincinnati give him for defendln a fugi tive from Kentucky, our people cheered him vociferous. Tall, strong and muskier lookin, in good flesh, deep cheated,hroad-shouldered,strong backt, be wnz ez perfect a specimen ez I ever be held, and all felt confident that he wood hey no trouble in beatin his opponent out uv site.

Our folks looked dia. appointed,,but it wuz too late to change. A loose two-sided wrapper was thrown over him, Gover nor English climed onto his shoulders, Vallandy gum jumped Into one pokit and Fernandy Wood into the other, the brass band tooted, the crowd yelled, he made one convulsiv start, but in vain.

We hey to strip these fellows when they come to us nv all that give cm any strength. Chase without his ablish mem can't get a ablishen vote, and the Demo cracy will vote for their own men in preference. Names ain't worth a any more, and men without principles ain't fly the elitist account. And that's what's the matter with Democracy. Picruot.zum V. NABIIY, P. M. , (Wich is Postmaster.) Education in sne Soul's.—Outrage Fpon a School Teacher. (From the Memphis Post. May 19.] A year ago this month of May Mr. W. R. Oald, a disabled rebel soldier of Stonewall Jackson's corps, and a relative of CoMmissioner child, in search of an honest livelihood, undertook, after securing permission of the neighboring people, to teach a colored school near Canton Hill, De Soto comity, Mississippi. He started very en ‘ouragingly. Beside a wdek day school he in structed the children in the Bible on Sabbath morning. He toned very eoon that his humane entprpriee was creating a deal of talk about the neighborhood. It was a new thing, base and criminal, for a white Southern rebel to be teaching a "nigger school." The presumption that 'nigger chil dren" could leam,anything was absurd and pre posterous. Why, if the "niggers" could read, they would do better than the mass of white loafers about the corner grocery could do! And so pp the night of the I,sth of June some of the rebels, not able to bear the pest, pulled down the house. Who did this noble deed no one knew. Mr. Oulil quietly went to work, and, with the as sistance of the colored people, had the house re built. On the night of August 16, 1867,the house was burned to the ground as secretly as it was destroyed before. This time he reported the of fence to the Bureau, but they could not reach the perpetmtoss. The owner of the land on which Ithe school house had been standing refused to allow him to rebuild it, and, thinking he would not encounter such bitter prejudice at Olive Branch, a small village a few miles distant, he went there and opened another school. The high-toned Christ ians of Olive Branch in a few weeks burned down his house. He reported again to the Bureau offi cer at .114rnando. He was told to return, and as sured that the place would be garrisoned with troops unless the people of the village would meet and pledge their protection for the future. The citizens met and made this pledge, and he rebuilt his school-house. There was much loud talk and many threats, but ho was not molested until a week ago Wednesday night his school was again set on fire. Owing to a fall of rain, only one end of It was destroyed, and in what was left, after reportbag the incendiary attempt to the Bureau, he resumed his school, and taught till last Saturday. On Sunday the whole neighborhood seemed to unite in threats against him if be remained any lon ger, rnd deeming himself in momentary danger of assassination if he went on with his school, he gave it up and came to this city.

[From the Journal 4 la Savoie, May 4.] The International Commission for the Mont Cents Railway assembled on Tuesday at St. Michel. The inauguration train, composed of a locomotive, tender and three first-class carriages, left that station at half-past two o'clock, in the afternoon. At four it arrived at the Four -11C111.1%, where - the whole party alighted to inspect the tunnel. The members of the Commission passed the night at Modane, and on the following morning the train started 'at half-past seven and reached Lanslebourg at half-pait ten, having mace frequent stoppages for the inspection, of the principal works. After a breakfast at that place, the ascent of Mont Cenis commenced at half-past twelve. P. M., and ' at fifteen minutes past five the party arrived at Susa, at the foot of the Italian slope of the Alps,. the ascent and descent having been equally sue cessful. In a few weeks steam will carry pas sengers several times daily over the Alps. We say in a few weeks, for although this first trip was all that could be desired the Minister of Public Works has directed that during the next month goods, trains only shall mu, in order that a lonir experience may afford a guarantee for the safety of passengers. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the time occupied in the journey of the inauguration• train was prolonged by the various stoppages made to visit the works. FACTS AND FANQIAB. —Col.
