OF THE “LANT'ptINT...” An old collaborator of Rochefort's, in the ar_o contributes to that paper some re collections of the most popular man in Paris at this moment: BIRTH AND CHARACTER. M. le Comte Henri de Rochefort de Lem is a gentleinan born, and—an incident not so rare as many suppose—he has something of the gentleman, in him over and above his mere birth. He has almost the pride of the grand signeur. If his present success is lead bag him assuredly to fortune, we must not forget that, so lar from dreaming of making a speculation out of the Lanterne, he has on the contrary never thought of anything but to create a little enterprise where he might make a living in freedom and beyond control. He sacrificed a brilliant and certain situation to the rigidity of his principles. Where he only thought of finding mediocrity solaced 'with freedom, he has hit upon independence covered with gold. Henri Rophefort has it physiognomy gentle, somewhat restless, smiling, and a little mis chiefous. He is very pale, with black hair almost woolly. He has delicate features, af fable address, an air of high family . , softened by habitual openness and familiarity. Every thing about him speaks of distinction mixed with good fellowship. Good-natured when small spirits approach him, he takes every pains to appear humble. Nothing provokes him like a piece of detailed eulogium. He receiVes.criticism with .open arms, saying in perfect: good faith, "Ali,' I thought so ‘myself the moment I read it over." When a lively story is told him, he, laughs freely but not noisily. He:loves to re-narrate.the anecdotes he hears, never failing to' credit them to the first teller. His formula of 'enjoyment is : "Elle est exeessivement drole!--dwellidg on and as it were scanning the syllable& He talks jinn as he writes;:with the same wit, the'satne life, the same impulsion. He dresses both elegantly and simply; he follows the mode, but with a reasonable interval. HE PRESENTS TEM CANDLESTICK TO THE ADMIRAL. He does not like, however, to be aimed at like the bull's eye by every passionate and exacting quarreler. One day when he had briskly attacked—l will veil the thing a little —the Swiss Navy (!) let us suppose—a Gene van admiral came to leave his card for Roche fort, announcing that he would return in the evening. "Ah, ' said Rochefort, on entering, "I am to have all Switzerland on my haads: but, if historians have their rights, so have geographers, and I have expressed nothingbut geographical facts,and I won't answer to my friend Switzerland—l'll refuse!" Then he sat down at his desk, crossed his legs, and rolled up a cigarette: his favorite attitude for 'vibe- Suddenly an idea crossed his brain. "But suppose this man should proceed to something violent! Morbleu! I'll be armed!" And he goes and takes from the mantel a magnificent bronze candelabra. "If Tm tacked, here is my weapon!" he observed to himself—and waited. The "Swiss" admiral presented himself. 'Rochefort amorously eyed his candelabra. The marine gentleman said, "Sir, I have not come to dispute with you, but the con trary; I greatly like your character and your talent. You will then please me excessively if you will he kind enough to follow my ex planations." Rochefortlistened politely. The sailor developed his vieWs, and took his leave, clasping Rochefort's hand. "Monsieur," said the Tatter. in showing him out, "would you like a pledge of my sin cerity ? Accept this candlestick, which it gives me real pleasure to offer you. Besides, it was intended for you ." The ad miral accepted, but never understood. 1118 CONNOISSEURSHIP. The chambers of M. Rochefort are a veri table museum. Old masters, choice curiosi ties, rare bits offurniture, all collected by an amateur whose artistic sense is solid, and whose taste is reliable. He is known to the habitues of the Hotel Drouout. The curiosity merchants, who know so well how to make misguided citizens pay heavily for any old rag, hold him in a kind of respect. They know that in him they are dealing with a gen uine amateur. When Rochefort is looking at a picture he crosses his legs before it, he biteethe nail of his left ring-finger—they know then that he is wide-awake and obser vant. When the objet takes his fancy, he follows it up with fury. If some bidder goes higher, he begs to see it once more, for the last time. "It's a very nice bit," he says, re turning the specimen. Then he never thiaka anything more about it. You know he wrote, in conjunction with Albert Wolff, a tearing farce in three ants, "The Mysteries of the Hotel des Ventes." Rochefort has quantities of friends among the dramatic writers; they have collected around him by the law which brings wit to wit and gaiety to gaiety. Theodore Bar here, Adolphe Choler, Siraudin and Ernest Blum are his intimate companions. They defend the glory of Rochefort more hotly than their own reputations. He is their hero. Rochefort might have been only a witty, talented sub-editor; it is greatly due to his friends that he has embarked as a pam phleteer. nocnkroni'l, I only know one fault in Henri Rochefort, andi hope he will not be unwilling to let me uncover it before the multitudes who admire him. He is absent-minded; for example: A friend invited him to pass a week in the country. "Train at nine, station called Ces son, near Whin, Lyons railway." The next Sunday morning, Rochfort buckles his bag, leaps with it into a cab, and has himself driven with it to the depOt—of the Northern railway. He lays down his bag beneath the ticket window, saying to the man, "First-class; CeBEIOD?" "Don't know that station," says the ticket seller. "What, you don't know Cesson, near Me lun?-oh, the railway companies! Oh, the monopolies!" "You're at the wrong depOt;Cesson hrt.on the Lyons line." ‘Ah!" says Rochefort. "That is excessively strange.!"—and leaving incontinently the waiting-room, where he forgets his valise, he leaps into another cab, and has himself. de posited at the Lyons depOt. The train had left. It was only then that Rochefort perceived that he no longer carried his valise. He drove back to the Northern depot. The office of Lost and Found was closed. Don't you set? it was Sunday. After profaning every rail way company and every monopoly under the sky, Roche fort decided to put off his departure until the morrow. The next day he came up bright and early at the Lyons &Tilt, and applied at the office of Lost and Found. Naturally his 1.) - ,c , was not there—because he had left it at the Northern line. Simply furious, he said to himself that his friend should lend him linen, and taking a ticket he embarked. Ax riving at Cesson, he found lin host. "310 n cher," said he, "we most put a final stop to the monopoly of railways. lam go ing to get up an article, ten articles, a volume! valise--" THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1868.

A Lull description of the great bronze doors which are to be placed in the National ()ant is:A at Washington is given in the Springfield, Masa , Evening News' Every one has heard of the new bronze doors for the Capitol at Washington, now being made at the Ames Company's works at Chicopee; and now that they are nearly com pleted, a history and description of them will be of interest to many who may not have an opportunity of seeing them. To begin at the time that they were fiest considered necessary to the beauty and convenience of the Capitol recalls us to when the now notorious Jeff. Davis was Secretary of War. More room was needed for the increasing business at Washington, and two wings were added to the Capitol to supply the want, and in one of these the bronze doors are to be hung. An art committee was appointed by Con gress to receive proposals and models, which in turn were to besreferred to the Secretary of War for his approval. Out of all that were submitted, Crawford received the contract for designing and making.. them. Although he was an American artist, he went -ith his de sign to Munich, where akilles corers were more easily obtained and at 1. ore satisfactory prices than in this country:. s iinfthe time he was engaged in preparing the Models, he died, and his wife' assumed the responsibility of carrying out her husband's plans and com pleting the work. Through the influence of Mr. Ames, they were brought to this country, and to his establishment, to be finished, and after four years of incessant toil are nearly completed,and it is hoped after the first of Oc tober will be placed in the position for which they were designed. The parties who had this work in hand in Munich, nnt liking the idea of having it transferred to America, packed the plaster of Paris models so that they would surely be broken in transportation, and at the time of their arrival in Chicopee, they were in very bad condition; but by careful work the pieces were cemented together, and from the same models were made the perfect images that will soon grace one of the entrances to the Capitol. The expense incurred by the government when the doors have been placed in their position, will not vary much from $75;000. While this is no doubt the finest and largest piece of bronze work that has ever been done in this country, the art is being brought to a perfection here nearly equal to that in Eu rope, and every year adds to the list of ex perienced workmen, the most skilled of which are employed at the Ames Company's works. Not less than one hundred persons visit the shops daily where the work is in progress. The doors are about twelve feet high by three feet wide; and each is divided into five' panels, which are ornamented as follows; On the upper one is a beautifully designed wreath with a star inside its circle, which is made to answer the purpose of a ventilator. The design on the second represents the death of Warren at Bunker Hill. It is certainly won derful with what perfection this scene is rendered. Warren has fallen back in the arras of a soldier, on whose face, and in whose eyes, is depicted the most intense sorro iv. The hat of the wounded officer lies on the ground at his side, and the deathly expression of his face is perfectly portrayed; a number of soldiers, just in front of where their com mander has fallen, are firing at the enemy from behind a parapet. The third panel represents Washington's famous rebuke of Lee at Monmouth. All are familiar with the history of this picture, how Washington, always suspicious of Lee, find ing proof of his treachery toward the cause for which the. American army were fighting, cast upon him such a look as the human face seldom wears, and in the bitterness of his hatred for treason, used language that is now here else recorded of him by any his torian. The fourth represents Alexander Hamil ton at Yorktown, and the charge of the Americans on the British forces. The army is represented in the act of charging on the enemy's lines, some of whom have already fallen, and the imploring look in the facts of the wounded men will be pronounced true to nature by thousands who have witnessed the same terrible sights in our own late conflict. The lower panel is designed to repiesent a war scene. A man whose house and family are assaulted by a soldier, whose low breed ing and purely animal face cannot be dis guised, has come hand to hand with his an tagonist, alter having discharged his musket, and handing it to his wife who is crouched close behind him with a child in her arms. The whole scene is very vivid and natural, even to the bullet hole in the window of the house which is the home of the assaulted burin The other door, which folds with the oae already described, is . graced with scenes of peace, as the first is with war. The upper panel, or ventilator, is the same as the other, but in the second the scene changes. All is quiet now, and the corner-stone of the Capi tol is being laid with Masonic honors. Men high in rank in the world's history are using the square, and wearing the apron emblem atic of the master mason's work in building the majestic edifice, and p,lso an emblem, of the ancient order of. Free Masonry, of _which George Washington was a very worthy mem ber. The third scene is Washington taking his first solemn oath of office; in - which are represented Livingstone, several members of the bar of high standing in those times, and other men of note. The fourth panel represents the ovation of Washington at Trenton, which pictures his friends gathering around him, some of the children kneeling, and the expression of love and gratitude is on every face. The last scene is one of peace, and more perfect happiness and trust could not have been portrayed than is represented in the countenance of every one in the group. A family gathering is shoWn; the plough takes the place of the sword in the opposite picture ' with a sheaf of ripened grain, the children have books in their bands, and the scene is as it is intended to be, one of perfect quietude and comfort. This completes an imperfect description of a work which must be seen to be appreci ated, and which must ever be an honor to the country, its designers and executors.

He is sufficiently Isevere, however, in these comments on the decoration of, the new and splendid Vaudeillle Theatre,on the - Boulevard near thIFNeIV - Oper : : "The new theatre has placed emblems of Wit, Gaiety and Song on its front, bat peo ple are asking why a nude woman is seen surmounting the edifice and apparently domi neering the city of Paris. "Is it Truth ? ask some. She is in a very unprotected condition for an epoch of grand eloquence and for a theatre of fictions. Is it Innocence ? say others, and does she indicate our mann to the age of gold, and an obliga tion imposed by M. Haussman on all the lodgers along his Boulevards to go and cul tivate roses for the prize of virtue? No. This naked girl is simply the shatneles, and fearless Muse of our tableaux vibants, our spectacles. "That is the best , effort of modern alle gory ! "Architects and artists are instructed to rep resent draniatic literature, modern taste, con temporary wit; and the artist,perfectly know ing what will be agreeable, carves a nude woman, without emblems, simply offering and showing whatever she can offer and show. There is decoration! there is comedy ! there is the element 01 French wit! "I hope that on the night , of the opening representation they will have a calcium light softly phlying over thb, contours of the statue and giving it the illusion of life.

Harlan and others were issued -were executed by a man named Mellenry,in New York, and Solicitor Hinckley. Mcilenty_swears—that • re urr d il a y dm e i teexd-i n o s phecmto rth awho e h ( a H s a a r l lsaon ) b e e en it haerrdirect,y or indirectly,he canflot remember which, induced bim to influence their official opinion. Binckley says ho has heard this statement, and, in the wonderful legal phraseology for which he is noted, adds that he believes Rollins and Harlan took money "for the purpose of pro- Curing themselves to be bribed in their offices." Th e heels for these affidavits, and the consequent issue of the warrants, is so slight, and in fact such a transparent humbug, that both Messrs. Rollins and Harlan have decided not to respond to the warrants in • person, be lieving, as they do that the ease will be dismissed on its original hearing. Both Secretary McCulloch and the President express themselves satisfied with this course, and are out spoken in their disgust at the farce. The latter ledignantly denies that ho authorized or sent Binckley to New York, , and thereby arises a question of veracity between them, as Binchley claims to have possession of letters from Mr. Johnson recommending him to interested par- Ales. It is known that Fitch, the :Nimbi tan lobbyist who originated the scheme, obtained an interview with the President, detailed to him the particulars of McHenry's statement, which were taken down by, the official steno grapher of the White House, and subsequently referred to Binekley. The latter,either presuming that be had sufficient authority, or, as he claims, obtaining it from the President, immedia tel y started for New York, taking Fitch with' him. The result is known and can be classed with 'Binekley's characteristic blunders. The Associated Press despatch asps, Infers:nation was received here, to-day, from New York, that'the warrants issued by United States Commissioner Gutman, at the instance of it3olicitor Hinckley of the Internal Revenue Bu reau, include one for the arrest of Commissioner Rollins: The understanding in the .Internal . ReVenue. Bureau is that he is charged with dia l:wriest transactions in connection with ex-Collec tor Smith and others. The Commissioner, re gards the proceedings against him as founded altogether on false premises, inasmuch as ex-Col lector Smith was removed oil hie recommenda tion, Haggerty's distillery sold under his instruc tion, and of the remaining two persons one was dismissed the service as inspector for cause. and the other denied reappointment by him after a trial'of sixty days. • Commissioner Rollins has telegraphed to New York - Uit be will not appear either personally or by counsel in answer to the warrant issued for his arrest at the instance of Solicitor Binckley. The reason for this is understood to be the en tire absence of facts on which to found , the charge against him. The Evening Star says the President and Secretary McCulloch seem to be really annoyed at the proceedings, and the Presi dent sent his private secretary this afternoon to Mr. Rollins to explain that the affair was not of the President's instigation, and he regretted its occurrence. Deputy Commissioner Harlan also declines to go to New York in obedience to the werrant. . The Ledger's Washington correspondent tele graphs : A rumor was In circulation here to-day that ;a warrant bad been issued in New York for the arrest of Mr. Rollins, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, based upon the affidavit of Mr. Mick ley, Solicitor of the Internal Revenue Bureau. Upon inquiry, it is found that this rumor is true in part; that is to say, an affidavit has been made by Mr. Binckley and another party in New York, in which Mr. Rollins was charged with collusion with ex-Collector of listened Revenue Smith, of the Eighth District of New York, Mr. Harland, Deputy Commissioner, and others, in an attempt to prevent the collection of revenue tax, etc., etc. Itseems the affidavits were made yesterday, but now arraettrwm --- W — u --- W — for the arrest-of "Messrs. Rollins and Harland. The affidavits -were based upon benrsay testimony, chatting the• cffierrs named with an altreeme.nt to permits distillery business to be conducted in New York, contrary to the previsions of the law,for the con sideration of one thousand dollars per week, and Hiat this agreement had been - In existence for more Alan three menthe Mr. Hinckley, does not in his affidavit sneclfy partici:der acts of malfeasance on the part of Mr. Rollins, but his affidavit is accompanied by the affidavit of another party, who has been in the revenue service, but discharged therefrom, set ting forth substantially that ex-Collector- -Smith, of the Eighth . District of New York, had ac knowledged that one thousand dollars per week had been paid him and Commissioner Rollins for a long time to ,permit the running , of a distillery In New York, contrary to provisions of law; that Mr. Harland, Deputy Commissioner, was party to this and other fraudulent transac tions, etc., etc. The charges are general In the first part of the affidavits, but in the end, or as explanatorp, it is stated by the affiants that it is not certain that sums alleged to have been paid to prevent collection of revenue taxes were paid to the officers, Rollins, etc., in person, face to face; nor was it known that 15 nch sums were actually paid, - bat that a party stated that ex-Collector Smith admitted that such payments had been made to him, and that they were to be distributed between him and Mr. Rollins. That Mr. Harland also received si milar sums, etc., etc. The ex-Collector, Smith, by the by, was removed from office recently upon recommendation of Mr. Rollins. .• No warrants were issued for the arrest of Mr. Rollins and his deputy, Mr. Harland, but the U. S. District Attorney at New York notified These officers that such affidavits had been made. This Is substantially the whole case, as made out in the affidavits. The United states bistrict A tterneyship of &astern Pennsylvania. The question as to - who is District Attorney for the Eastern district of Pennsylvania is still in grave doubt, and its decision will be import ant as a precedent. It will be remembered that Mr. Gilpin's term of four years expired last win ter, and that Mr.. O'Neill waa appointed by the President, but his was one of the cases upon which the Senate failed to act, and he was neither confirmed nor rejected. His commission for office, on the recommendation of Mr. Evarts, was issued, hOwever, and be was sworn in by a United States Commissioner. The United States , Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, however, continued to recognize informally the old officer, and both Messrs. Gilpin and O'Neil claimed to be the lawful Attorney---one holding over an old appointment, and the other acting under a new,commission granted on the recom mendation of the Attorney-General. No question has yet arisenon.which_the_mat ter can Ibe legally te.sted,i and the Attorney 'General has not been called upon In.a manner which would warrant him in_complying to give an opinion as to the status of either claimant. The question is likely to come up in a legitimate manner upon the return of Judge Cadwalader to resume the sitting of his con rt,e ither by writ of quo warrant° by the government, on the relation of Mr. O'Neill, or some other legal form.. If the court should finally decide as a judicial question that Mr.,O'Neill is not the lawful attorney of the United States, it may present an embarrassing point for the decision or - the Ekecutive Depart ment of the Government whether he should be communicated with, also, law officer of the United States. Qf Must make out his title as an officer against any person in pos session of it.— Inquirer's ,Washington .Despatch. . A Midnight Ride -on tic Conrucatche r . A writer in the Onieda Circular describes a singular adventure : "The train was to start at 11,45, and it wanted but a few minutes of the time. As I stood there in the darkness within's few feet of the hissing monster, my heart began to fail-me, and Palmost resolved-to abandon- my hazardbus •undertaking. = What if I should lose my-hold and be prown off in front - of that crushing mass of machinery? What if there should be something on the track? Such thoughts' kept whirling through my mind, and I hesitated. Suddenly the bell rung. Hardly realizing what I did, I hastily left the dark"recesdand stepped on the heavy frame work in front of the engine. By means of a stout leather strap I bound myself on by passing it,round my body and under one of the strong bars of the cow-catcher. While I was thus engaged the, train had left the depat and - with rapidly increasing speed was pass ing through the city. I had some fears legt some of the flagmen at the street crossing should discover mound signal to the engineer; for I well knew that'if H. should become aware of my perilous situation he would stop the train and take me off. My fears were _groundless. = The strong glare of the 110, - tigEddirectly over me made my position, by contrast, almost invisible to any one in front. "Passing the last crossing wi.h a rush and a roar, we spcil on through the suburbs, and into the open country. The city lights dis appeared one by one in the distance, and we were fairly on our way. It was a wild night. The fight of the moon struggled with, diffi culty through the dark clouds which were driven before a strong wind from the south west. Now and then an opening would illumine the landscape with a sudden burst of silvery light, to be immediately followed by almost total darkness as the heavy cumuli rolled up in masses of inky blackness. The cone of light from the dazzling lens above me would then cut the darknesa in its onward rush with startling clearness. Now flashing up the rocky Bides of some mountain gorge, illuminating rock, tree and shrub with almost daylight distinctness; anon losing itself in the surrounding darkness as we emerged into the open country beyonclf then shooting along the rails ahead, snaking them look like glistening threads until they disappearedin the darkness • "Mile after mile we sped -along. 'I :had become somewhat used to my strange posi tion, but it required constant attention to prevent my feet from slipping from the lower bar of the frame on which I was standing. At best I had but a partial foothold, and the constant jar of the engine on the; curves would almost throw me off. In passing through the S. mountains the road was very rough and crooked. The ponderous engine bounded along with now and then a sudden side lurch in its seemingly mad effort to plange into the black chasms which yawned on every side. - In one of these Midden movements the buckle of my strap broke, and I was only saved from instant death by wedging my hands between the bars of the cowcatcher and clasping them underneath. I must hold on now for dear life. Once I opened ,my mouth to scream; in the= hope that H. would hear me. ' A second thought eonvinced me of the utter uselessness of attempting to make my voice heard at that distance above the roar of the engine. Even when standing on the loot board' it was with difficulty that we could hear each other. My only hope was that my stiffening fingers would hold on for the remaining ten miles. An occasional glimpse of the country showed me that we had gone two-thirds of our distance, and had also most fortunately passed the roughest points. Twenty minutes more and I should be safe. "We had now passed the mountains, and the road became straighter and smoother. As we emerged from the tunnel on the spur of the mountains, I caught sight, far down the line, of the head-light of the C. express. The road is there perTectly straight for three miles, and I had an unobstructed view. Brighter and brighter grew the head-light till it seemed to glare with demoniac fierceness. Although I knew there was no danger, yet the sight of that ponderous creature thundering toward me, sent through me a momentary thrill of horror, and I involuntarily clung closer and closed my eyes as the train rushed past. A king whistle from our own engine announced our approach to L.'s, and I assure you it was music to my ears. I could not have held ortc fifteen minutes longer. As the train stopped I unclasped my benumbed fingers and stepped to the ground, but could not walk three steps, my legs were so stiff from being so long In a cramped position. At lest Ixeached the side of the road and sat down. The moon had long been obscured, and a few heavy drops betokened the coming storm." ISLILIMULITERT s MOP. itta. IftON FENCING.
