[Correspondence of tbo Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] Paius, Tuesdty, July 7, 1868 Patriotic feel ing, combined with an attractive advertisement in Galiynani and tho Continental Gazette, did not fail to draw together, on Saturday last, in the beantlful gardens of tho Prd Catalan, in the Bols de Boulogne, a largo assemblage of Americans of ages, and, I am happy to be able to odd, of I all political opinions, for the celebration of the National fete. Considering, Indeed, the time of year, and the nature of the present season, the premature heat of which drove so many families to the country and sea side at an unusu ally early period—it was quito astonishing to see the numbers that flocked to the appointed rendez vous, and to listen to the sounds of the vernacular which spread so widely around in all directions. The Bols de Boulogne seemed to bo converted for the nonce Into the Central Park, and thoronghly denationalized, for twenty-four hours at least, by the trans-Atlantic invasion. Very fortunately, the weather, which hod been showery and only “good for the crops” in the morning, changed in the nick of time'and became good for toilettes, dancing and fetes champ th-es In tho afternoon. Nothing could; exceed the beauty and fragrance of the flowers and delicious verdure of the hright green turf of this charming talon en pleine air, as group alter group of lovely women and joyous children streamed into it, attired in such dresses and such bonnets as Paris only can produce, but American women (I make bold to say it) know only how to wear, or, at least, wear to greatest advantage. We certainly owe a debt of gratitude in Paris to our late worthy repre sentative, Mr. Bigelow, whose happy Idea it was first to organise these Kites in this present delightful locality, and to attach to them perhaps their most attractive fea ture in the swarms of happy children who sported on Batnrday like butterflies over vel vet lawns. I believe, however, that in this, ie spect we must confess our obligation to our Gallic hosts for the loan of something else be sides their garden; and that in the scarcity of the real American article during the summer months in Paris we were only too glad to bor row a considerable number ot specimens of la jcune France! No matter; children fortunately (as j et) are children all over tho world, and whether the American or native element pre vailed, the .ornamental effect was equally strik ing and effective. The social honors of tbo celebration were en trusted to the well-known courteous manage ment of General Dix, by whom, it is unnecessary to say, they were dispensed in a way to afford satisfaction to all. The Rev. Mr. Robinson read, amidst loud cheers (in which I observed several English guests join with hearty good will), the Declara tion of Independence. The Rev. Dr. Chaplin, of New Tork, delivered a discourse equally suited 10 the occasion and his own sacred profession; In which, while congratulating his country men and women on all that had of late been achieved lor the welfare of the American people, be dwelt, above all, on the duty and necessity of 'jurying all past dissensions in oblivion, and culti vating for the future the feelings only of general reconciliation. In the best taste,also, the reverend gentleman introduced a passing allusion to the old and now almost centenary alliance between France and the United States; and the obliga tions under which the latter must ever lie, on such a day as that on which he spoke, to remember the generous assistance which was afforded them in the hour of peril. These preliminaries accomplished, mirth and conviviality became the order of the day—as long as daylight lasted—and when the sun went down, the most decided determination manifested itself, on the part of the more youthful portion of the assembly, to “ steal a few hours ol the night my love!” The elegant pavilion for dancing was brilliantly lighted up, and there the festive scene was prolonged until not far from “peep-of-day. ” As evening closed, a display of fireworks, served as a signal for departure for the graver part of tho company. It is only fair to say that the best thanks are due from all their guests to the Committee of Management and organizers of the file, amongst whom are the well-known names of Messrs. Munroe & Co., Norton & Co., our latest arrival, Messrs. Drexel, Harjes & Co., with A.C.Downing, chairman, and W. F. Stetson, Secretary of the same body. <C There is no political news of consequence. M. Rouhcr, flie Minister of State, when replying to M. Jules Favre’s speech on the budget, took the opportunity to re- iterate once more, in the strong gest terms, that the government, legislature, and people of this country were all equally bent on the maintenance of peace. ' The susceptibility of tho Government has been awakened by another first number of a journal. The Riveil is the name of the new offender, and Its chief editor, Mr. Delessluze, and its printer, Mr. Dubulsson, have received a summons to appear before an examining magistrate. Their chance of success as publishers has, in conse quence, been greatly improved; and I doubt not they feel very much obliged to the Government for advertising their paper. Some few months since, the Opinion Nationale was condemned by the Imperial Court of Paris to a fine of 1,000 francs for illicit reports of debates in the Chamber of Deputies; but the sentence has just been set aside by the Criminal Chamber of tho. Court of Cassation, which decided that tho right of discussion legally enjoyed by the press in volved the right of exposing the opinions .of an orator as far as may be indispensable for the dis cussion in which the journalist is engaged. A young lawyer, M. Ferrand, has just “made himself a name" by appearing in court with mus taches, and successfully asserting his right to do so, when good-naturedly taken to task by the judge. He proved that there was no law prohib iting members of the bar from letting their beards grow ad libitum, so that probably the salo of razors will henceforth decrease in the Palais de Justice and the Quartier Latin. It is certainly better to have hair on the face , than a wig on the hair. The one is a natural and economical com plement, tee other wasteful and ridiculous ex ■cess. Another case of ship burning at Havre. The unfortunate Emma had scarcely been put out when tee L. L. Sturgiss, an American three-mas ter, took fire from an explosion of cotton. The efforts to save her were eventually successful, but the loss in cargo and general damage is estimated at more than $120,000. In the same town tho Inhabitants are amusing themselves with inno cent bull-fights—tho horns of the animals being so covered as to prevent any gory results—while PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JULY 20, 1868. tho spears of their opponents, tho Piccadorcs, are tipped at tee points like foils, on the same humanitarian or economical principle. I fancy the latter Is, in reality, the prevailing motive for Ibis chariness of blood-shedding. For, as French bulls wont show fight, and fighting with John Bull iB not so popular in France as It once was, there is nothing for it bnt to go to Spain for tho animal, and Spanish beef killed at Havre is rather an expensive luxury. Bat tho introduction of tbCEC mediaeval and essentially barbarous games, even in sport, is no credit to the good people of Havre, and will hardly, I fear, succeed injrouslng the flagging interest of the public in the so-called “Maritime Exposition.” SHORT NOTES BY A SUMMER TOUR. (Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] Mile. Pauline Lucca—Sima Reeves— ■ FiinnjrJohn Parry. London, July 6,1868.— 8 y dallying overlong ot the Surrey Zoological Gardens; I found my self estopped from all opportunity of hearing Lucca, the bright particular star of this unusually brilliant Lendon season; for when I returned to the mnslc stores of Regent street, every seat In the spacious Covent Garden theatre had been taken. “Bad luck o’ that!” I frantically ex claimed, and a cold, horrid shndder of gnilt passed from tee lowest recesses of tee stomach upward through pericardium and larynx Into my excited cranlnm, at the atrocity of the pan I had innocently perpetrated. “Her benefit and final appearance, too!” I gasped; “and all of the royal family, including tee newly arrived and luckily escaped Duke of Edinburgh, to be present!” How I wished all the lions, tigers, bears, giraffes—alj the mammalia, carnivori, granlvori—every bird 5 fish and reptile of the superb Zoological Gardens back upon their native heaths, and the band of the Coldstream Guards teat toots there, to Hali fax ! What remained for me but the slim chance of blooming like a wall-flower in one of the n pper lobbies? Bplendid, vast, huge-lettered posters bearing the names of Lucca, Mario, Mongini et al., and the inviting announcements, “Second Act of Fra Diavolo,’’ •Do. of Gounod’s Faust;” “Fourth ol Meyerbeer’s Africaine;” rose to tantalize my perplexed and anxious gaze at every street corner, as I hied me to Covent Garden. And shriller, more urgent than ever arose the female cries of “Book ol the opera-, sir; do, please pity, sir, buy a book of me!’’ as If a ticketless man had need of a libretto! A horrid climax of wo and despair finally seized apon and upset my ordinary natural equanimity when a policeman informed me, “No standing room, sir, doors closed by order of the management.’ The crowd around the building became denser and more disposed to (unruliness with each pass ing moment; bo, with no taste for tee inner ac quaintance of a London swell mob—most of which had congregated to see the Duke of Edin burgh—l passed down Sonthampton street into the Strand, and was fain to content myself with the critiques of the various journals on the fol lowing morning. If these latter are to be cred ited, the laurels of Tltiens, Niellson, Patti and Kellogg all pale before tee gifted Viennese canta trice; but I rather fancy that the royal eclat of ihe occasion has*lnteneified their fulsome enco miums. Not every day in the year does the Queen’s, lamily appear before the public en masse and pitch the loyalty of the masses into a higher key by the display of one of its scions, just escaped from the very jnw6 of death. And Lucca doubt less gained much, from the heartily enthusiastic frame of mind that must have permeated the audience; for one or two capital critics—men who judge by criterions of the art—have assured me of both Patti’s and Neillsen’s superiority. They declare Titiens, on the other hand, to have been overworked within the past four or five years, and slightly on the wane, but still the peer of Lucca, her younger art-Bister. Having thus missed the only great prima donna in London whom I had never heard before, I soothed my troubled spirit on the following day by a little excursion to the Sydenham Crystal Palace, where, beside viewing the superbly laid out and embellished grounds, teeming with superior works of art, exquisite flower terraces, iofty fountains, and beyond all a lovely sweeping galley like the Chester, above Paoli, on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, I had the good fortune to hear a highly trained' orchestra of sixty, the great Handel Festival Organ, and that which was once the great English tenor, Sims Reeves. The latter must have merited all the lavish encomiums, formerly showered upon him by the English people and press. There still remains with him a lovely,- melodious qual ity of voice, but his execntion'evidently causes him the effort of advancing life. People can't be expected to sing forever; and though Sims Reeves rejuvenates his personnel by dyeing both hair and moustache, it becomes tenfold more dif ficult, if not impossible, to conceal the ravages of time upon the power of voice and the facility of execution. With all this he is still an excellent tenor, and sure to draw an' odd two thousand people when announced in some of the ballads so loved by the English ' people. I heard him sing “Norah, the Pride of Kildare,” and “Who Shall be Fairest,” into both of which ho infused a great deal of sweet expression. A man named James Coward handled the great Festival Organ, which stands perched high up in the main tran sept of the palace—a noble, comprehensive in strument, by the way—with mnch ability, pre senting a programme for oil tastes, wherein a morceau or two from Rink, a transcription from Mendelssohn and a Bach fugue alternated with some exceedingly pretty variations on “Home, Sweet Home,” the “Last Rose of Summer” (of course) and “Rule Brittannia." About five thousand English men and women enjoyed this entertainment vastly, and washed it down with rivers of brown stout and Burton’s ale; and when the programme had been con cluded, the North London Railway wheeled them all homeward successfully, in closely following trains. I took a cup of tea at “Prosser’s Oyster Warehouse”—a refectory in the Strand, and bethought me of the immortal Jeemes, of Market street terrapin and bi-valve notoriety. Since then, I have noticed three other Prosser’s in the same line of business—two in High Holborn and another in Piccadilly. Shade of Epicurus—ls there anything in a name? And now what of John Parry, the inimitable John—whose “Wanted, a Governess,” “Blue Beard" and numberless other comic songs still grace the bound music books of our great grand parents. Mrs. and Mr. Germon Reed in “Our Quiet Chateau,” with Mr. John. Parry in an entirely novel and humorous entertainment, com posed by himself, and entitled “A Public Dinner OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. to-night at the gallery of Illustration, Piccadilly.” Thus tee announcement in the London Times. And, having despatched my cup of tea at Pros ser’s, I clambered to the sloping roof of a crowded omnibns, alighted at tee designated place of entertainment, and soon found myself dozing away the stupidity of a little parlor opera, entitled, as above, “Our Quiet Chateau.” Tho author of that inano trifle has immortalized hi pen by its somniferous powers. A round of ap planse—of delight, perchance, over its conclu elon—fairly aroused me In time to see the curtain lift upon one of tee drollest beings who has ever walked the stage. John Parry stands six feet three or four inches in his stockings—a slim, gaunt figure, surmounted by a curious, conical head, eloping from the apex of tee cranium to the nose, and receding from that organ to tee chin and neck. Stray, erect tofts of hair on either side of hte temples Impart something of tee gro - tesqne (O'the conformation just mentioned, and his little ?.yes flash an irresistible world of humor. Cmikshsnk, or even our little friend, Clive New come, WPhld draw him to tee life in a second or two, aim gloat over a subject so striking. He is an old man in years, bnt still possesses and dis plays tec elasticity of forty. His entertainment commenced’with a sort of overture' upon tee piano, which instrnment he manipnlates with mnch expression and no little facility, after which he stationed himself behind a table filled with viands and decanters, and drew inimitably droll pictures of the Chairman, Toastmaster, and of all tee several speakers at an Imaginary pnblic dinner given by the “Friendless Orphans’ Aid Bociety.” Each change of voice was totally dissimilar to. the one preced ing it; each speech replete with pointed wit, capital burlesque, and often scathing satire; and he even sung an Italian aria in falsetto with ex traordinary facility, when tee quasi-toastmaster called for Signora Dya Waya, of tee Royal Ital ian Opera. He presented by turns the remarks of the gouty, apoplectic chairman and the speech of a lugubrious Individual, much like the canting of the man in The Serious Family, who, when asked for a contribution for the relief of a trades man who had fallen from the fourth story of a house, drawled out; “I’m afraid we can do uothiDg for you, for If we encourage this sort of thing we shall have all sorts of people falling from all sorts of houses.” Decidedly his drollest portrayal, however, was that of a Frenchman present, who, being called npon, responded amid mnch embarrassment; “Aions. Shairmen, you have aska me to maka some toast," Ac.; and he proceeded to . spin out the moßt ludicrous errors from an imperfect knowledge of the language. Parry kept up these individual characters with such rapidity. with a mimicry so irresistible, that the entire audience found itself convulsed with laughter from commencement to end. And, he capped the climax by causing the Treasurer of tee imaginary Society for tee relief of Friendless Orphans, to read a report of its .year’s operations, couched in language of rare wit, fall of pointed local hits, and read as though by a man afflicted with a bad chronic catarrh. It is astonishing how men of Parry’s vocation frequently retain the elasticity of youth far into old age. Is it the action of an ever reacting, re bounding, never-despairing spirit, that commu nicates, as it were magnetic influences of recu peration to tee body ? Or, do some of these public men press on with unyielding, desperate will until the cords snap and the words, “Died very suddenly,” commence tee newspaper obit uary? Let the psychologist answer. I’m off to Paris, from whence anything noteworthy shall be duly recorded by your faithful B. On Saturday night, after only two hours of suf fering, died Leutze, the artist, of sun-stroke. He was in the noon of life, having attained his fifty-second birth-day last May. In his prema ture and shocking death the ranks of American art sustain a loss that will not be promptly filled for we have no historical painter left behind who possesses his accurate education combined with his dramatic geijiuß. Lentze was an American by very early adop tion , and a Philadelphian by his father’s choice, having been removed to our city in extreme thildhood. Born in a small town of Southern Germany, the little burgh oi Gmund, in Wiir temberg, the emigration of the family to the new world took place among the first events pre sented to his acute and receptive mind, and im planted there those theories and romances of the nomadic system which he lately threw upon the canvas in , his princi pal work the “Course of Empire,’’ which empannels the southwest staircase in the new wing of the national Capitol. But botween that childhood of hardships and that accomplish ed masterpiece—between the desolate hours when he taught himself to draw by the bedside of his dying father, and this swift meridian hoar which tears him so rudely from his successes and his fame—there is a broad half-century of experi ence and study, in which the art-riches of the old world and the new were unceasingly applied to-. “Westward the course of empire takes its tVay,’ figures, on a golden scroll, in the frame of ara besques with which, after the manner of Kaal bach at Munich, he bordered his groat work at the Capitol. But, while the star of empire moves towards the Pacific, the star of Art still hangs in the East, and the young painter who would drink of its beams must travel thither for the authentic light he needs. Leutzc, having ob tained a little fame and a little money by his first hit, his “Indian gazing at the Sunset,” betook himself with his earliest savings to Diisseldorf, intelligent enough to know that a good education was his prime need. From Diisseldorf he derived his first guiding principles of art, and the great representative group of his works—the “Northmen,” the fine illustrations of the career of Columbus, the “Iconoclasts”—and the Washington pictures, the “Monmouth,” the “Princeton,” tho “Crossing the Delaware”—are all Diisseldorf pictures of the strictest kind, regu lated, composed, nobly theatrical, rigidly drawn, and like clockwork in their classic arrangment and system. There, at Diisseldorf, he be came a painter, and Diisseldorf moved round the world under his feet, and -remained his art-home in whatever country he,-afterwards pitched his tent. His subsequent familiarity with the Venetian school gave but little volup" tuousness to his color, and even his later passage of admiration for the intellect-pictures of Corne lius and Kaulbach could not absolutely spiritualize the models he had adopted as his ideal, and which have rested through all his career strictly realistic, though heroic. We fancy that posterity will select as its favorites those pictures which most singly and honestly reveal his discipleshlp to his master Lessing; works like tho “Columbus immANiusi. LEUTZE. before the Council at Salamanca,” “Colum bus’s Return,” and the “Washington Crossing the Delaware,” and a circle of similarly-conceived pictures. The great fresco, however (or, if the chemists will have it so, the stereochromo), will continue to retain the place In the popular esti mation which its enormons size, and the pains and stndy it represqOia, entitle it to; as a well thought-out epic, and as the worthiest attempt yet made to embody in poetry and cojbr tho great practical movement which leads to ‘'file develop ment of our nation, the “Westward is to remain, a picture for the fnture, looming secure behind the clouds of adverse and adulatory criticism spent upon it by am all minds. While the public received, year by year, the complement of pictures tossed out to them by a wonderfully rapid trnd Inventive faculty, the artist lived in his circle of charming and charmed friends like some existence privileged with eternal idleness and eternal yonth. His great fecundity waa his play; his sympathy, his friend liness, his welcomo, were his life’s work. The brightest of hearts of gold, tho most companion able and cordial (or so his sorrowful friends think now) man in America, he leaves behind him, as mourners in the honse of death, almost ,the whole art-world of this country and of Ger many. His supreme good-fellowship and his scrupulous art-study will remain, as a mingled tradition of Leutze, in the memories of.tho artists of the United States. FBOO NEW YOBS. New York, July 20.—Yesterday, although evi dently of,tho same genus as the closing days of last week, was on account of tho grey clouds that occasionally swept the sky, bearable ontof doors. The wind, what little there was of it, was from the west, and brought but little cooling in it, yet was very acceptable withal. During the early part of the (Jay.the cars were laden with crowds making fer the suburbs, and the Staten Island and Brooklyn ferry-boats wont fully burdened each trip that took them away from our hot city. In the evening there was a smart thunder show er, bnt it did not cool tho atmosphere sensibly. There was quite a number of coses of sunstroke yesterday, here and in the neighboring cities. About 4 o’clock, P. M., yesterday, Mr. John Spicer, a. prominent citizen of the Fifteenth W ard, living at No. 79 West Eleventh street, feeling unwell,despatched his colored servant for a setdliiz powder. This the domestic procured from a clerk named Joseph Simmons, Ip, the drag store oi Mr. J. B. Freese, No. 179 Sixth avenue. The powder was taken by Mr. Spider, ‘who re marked to his wife that it had a singular taste. Soon after taking the powder he complained of feeling very unwell, with burning pains in the stomach, and shortly afterword sent for Dr. Bartlett, who. on being informed of the symp toms oi his patient, examined the sediment of the powder, ana fonnd traces of strychnine. Emetics were at once administered, bat witfiout avail, and he died in a very few moments. Simmons was arrested and locked up in the Mercer street station. He states that these powders were prepared in the store, and that, for several days pafit, ho has been selling to cus tomers from the some jar from which the powder sent to Mr. Spicer was taken; in fact he mid sold nearly a dozen powders from the same jar to various par.ies .during yesterday. How the lata) mistake could have been made he professes himself entirely at a loss to say. He is held to uwuit the action of a coroner’s jury. Moses Yale Beach, formerly bo well-known In this city os the proprietor of tho Sun newspaper, died yesterday at his residence in Wallingford. Connecticut. Mr. Beach wad born in Wallingford in 1800. In 1835 he came with his family to this city, and became interested in the Sun newspaper. As a journalist he was remarkably successful; he became in a short time sole proprietor of the Sun, and rapidly acquired wealth. For many years tie was prominent in banking and other financial concerns. During the Mexican war ho was sent to Mexico by President Polk, as an agent re arrange a treaty of peace. Mr. Beach retired from the active pursuit of business some ten years ago, and went to live in hiß native town of Wal lingford- He has been for years subject to paralysis, but the attack by which he was carried off was quite sudden and unexpected.
