!Munich Art.
We bad a delightful thirty minutes' talk last
-2— ctifiTtig - witirstateractl - artist — wWhad - recently
seen the architecture and paintings at Munich.
Ftmillarized with the drawings of Kardbach and
Cornelius, our countrymen feel great curiosity,
about, BO a strong tendency to belief in, the
Bavarian art-revival brought about by King Lud
wig. This faith is greatly moderated by actual
inspection.
The new buildings, we recollect, aro mostly
praised in Fergusson's (reliable) "History of
Arehlteetme;" the designs, 3..owever, are all that
come within the scope of that writer, who proba
bly described from elevations and may never
/nto seen the buildings themselves; it takes away
from our reverence for these Attic constructions
to learn that they are theatrically massed togeth
er out of stucco, hardly anything about them
beiug real and permanent but the stone stair
way&
The interior architecture is expressly prepared
—as were the chaml.ors of the time of the great
Roman school; the stanza of the Vatican and the
13ixtine and Pauline Chapels—so as to present
large plane surfaces for_the reception of frescoes:
*on these immense flats the modern grandiose
Bavarians, with the sensations of Michael Angelo
and Raphael, have spread out their epical corn.
positions.
If you wish to preserve your admiration for the
works, of Cornelius and Kaulbach, and even
Piloty, confine your examination rigidly to the
ne engravings which have been prepared, or to
the cartoons or photographs of them.
lianthaeles portrait of Ludwig, bequeathed by
Mr. Hagedorn to our Academy of Fine Arts, is
an exceedingly favorable specimen of his power
us a colorist. In large .aural paintings he be'
comes completely lost, and bk. color-harmonies'
are a haze of changing experiments. Even MS
faculty of drawing (which, though on a peculiar
theory, looks strong in the cartoons,) fails him in
this brush-work. You have perhaps seen
the transcendently Ingenious arabesque borders,
or triezes,made up of genii who, playing through
scroll-work, represent the whole history of
civilization, in-the Musde at Berlin. These orna
ments are dressed up, in the tine line engraving
by the Prussian Eichens, so as to appear like
gems of clear drawing and modeling. In the
frescoes the color Is so inferior as to lower their
character by many degrees. By all means, for a
high appreciation of Kaulbach,keep your mind on
those drawings, or monochrome copies of draw
ings. You will admire him for shat he is—a most
ingenious conceiver of pictures, a great art
anther, a master of painting in its expressive or
literary function.
Cornelius is a much better draughtsman, how
6er, than Kanleack. His cartoons have tone
and beauty, unlike those of the latter,.which are
hard and square, with hateful reminiscences of
the stained-glass manner. But, in contemplating
the fresco-paintings of Cornelius, your illusions
derived from his chalk-pictures are dispelled; you
see broad rose-color flesh, lilac, pea•greens and
skim-milk in every style of fade dissipation; then,
at a particular passage, the artist plucks up a cer
tain feminine courage, and loads on glazes of
vermilion, one over the other, with a spasmodic
determination to be vigorous; and these patches
are visible all across the hall. From one margin
of his vast works to the other, no system of col.
oration, no kind of a theory, but a miserable and
unprincipled trust in the decorative character of
a few wall-paper tints.
Munich possesses some admirable specimens of
the old masters, including the most exquisite
Vandykes and powerful Rubensea.
In its sprawling Musts of modern art, says our
Informant, it harbors vast quantities of perfectly
atrocious work, which would be considered adis
grace at any spring exhibition of our Academy of
Fine Arts.
A contributor to the Saturday Review reminds
us, however, that the celebrities who created the
Munich renaissance are no longer to be con
sidered as contemporaries. Kaulbach is old. Cor
nelius, whom Niebuhr described as a young fiery
enthusiast, not many months since passed away
in feebleness at the goodly age of seventy-eight.
Hess likewise, who lives in the lovely decora
tions of Ali Saints Chapel and the Basilica of Bt.
Bonifece, now rests from his labors; Bchwantha
ler, too, the most prolific of sculptors. IS gone;
Ludwig himself has left the scone, and his good
deeds rather than his follies are remembered in
his grave; Schnorr, known in Munich by his
frescoes in the King's Palace illustrative of the
Niebelungenhed, and w ell reputed even in Eng
land by his Bible prints, alone among his com
peers survives, stricken in years, his eye no
longer clear to see, nor his hand firm to execute,
designs which imagination still struggles to
create. The modern Munich school, it appears
from this traveler, is in the hands of Piloty.
"Carl Piloty, the realist, who has been long
known to visitors in the New Pinakothek by a
powerful melodrama,the 'Death of Wallenatein,'
and,who made a brilliant debut in London in 1862
by 'Nero among the Ruins of Rome,' is the star
that now rules in the zenith. Many orbs of lesser
magnitude shine around the meteor with bor
rowed light ; the united fire casts into eclipse the
waning lamps which only a few years since were
bright in the upper sky. This revulsion, which
may be remarked,„thongh not wholly regretted,
has been brought about by that principle of reac
tion which eo oft asserts its power in history. The
spiritualism of Over beck was almost sure to swoon
itself away; the swelling convulsions of Come-
HUB were tortured to the death, the sweet pla
cidity of Hess expired at length in soulless in
anity, and so nature rushed in to till the void,
and is now intent on avenging herself for long
neglect. Hence the rise of Carl Piloty, the real
ist, the materialist, the naturalist, who, present
ing himself with a following of eighteen disci
vies, carried off a first prize in the last Paris In
ternational exhibition. The characteristics of
thisthe reigning school in Munich are strongly
pronunced and easy to be understood. Instead
of the quiet contemplation to which the so-called
Christian art of modern Germany has been sur
rendered, Piloty and hie followers commit them
selves to dramatic action, stirring situations, the
surprise of a plot, and the climax of a catastro
phe. In lien of generic types,these men seize on
individualities; instead of ideal beauty, they pre
fer eccentricity in the concrete; in place of hu
manity in the abstract, they put trenclunt cha
racter; hence they stand at equal distance from
classic grace and Christian spiritualism.. And
yet this revulsion cannot be regretted, provided
always the rebound be not too far in the oppo
site extreme. The prior Munich school, by the
condition of its birth, was sure to wear itself out,
and, instead of lingering years painfully pro
longed, a speedy end may be accounted a
blessing. Young Munich is now ex
ulting in the vigor and vitality of
immediate contact with nature. Forms hith
erto hard, cold and petrified, move in life, and
warm under generous impulse. Flesh and muscle,
dry and withered as parchment, have once more
blood in the veins, and color glows within the
tissue e: in short, the art which had sickened unto
death Starts into life renewed. So far good. Yet,
while we admire a body healthy and robust, dra
pery glittering and real, light dazzling as a sun
ray, texture true to substance and surface, we
may be permitted to deplore the soul that has
fled. Overheek, Cornelius, Veit, and others of
the elder school had always largeness of intent:
Piloty and his followers have sometimes no large
nose at all, save of canvass. Cornelius painted
the ' Last Judgment:' the uew school of realism
and romance depicts a love-scene under a bower,
life-size, within a flaunting frame twenty feet
square!"
There is in Munich a "Bayerisches Nations
Museum," comparable with those at the Rote
Cluny and at the South Kensington,whose object
Is 'stated to be to illustrate the history of art in
the kingdom of Bavaria through Its ancient
monuments and - art-products, to elucidate the
relation between national arts and the civiliza
tion of the people, and lastly, to bring the best
work of past time to bear upon the industries of
the present day. As accessory to the main ob
ject, the walls have been covered with a series of

own Henan of Parliament; and thirdly, a few
rare products by Piloty, Andreas Muller,
and Wagner, which for power of baud, brilliance
of light, and mastery over materials, are scarcely
surpassed either in ancient or modern times.
Among these marvels in .their way, , we give en
pretne rank to Piloty's tour de force, "Aturstinrga
lefithezeit im XVI. mid Anfang des XVII Jahr
hunderts." The wall-space the artist occupies Is
not less than thirty feet by ten feet; the figures
arc above life-size; the characters, among whom
'is conspicuous Ilene Holbein, have individuality
and force; the cast of the drapery Is broad, na
turalistic, not academic; the figures are well
lighted, and stand from the surface in rounded
relief. Color has been fairly managed,
better than is usual in the monu
mental decorations of Germany; tone and keep
ing are well preserved; transparency takes the
place of opacity; luminosity, aerial perspective,

flatness and hardness which seemed inseparable
from high art in Munich. The realism, not to
say the materialism, to which Pilots , surrenders,
his style, tells to advantage in details of drapery
and reflected lights glittering on the marble pave
merit. Piloty has sometimes been charged, and
not unjustly, with sinking the mental qualities
of art to mere materialism; yet in this his great
est achievement, we a e bound to admit
that the heads of his figures reign 'supreme
over the accessories. There is but one man in
Europe who could come near to this masterpiece.
We need hardly say that the only artist who,
with the same weapons, could cope on perhaps
more than equal terms with Piloty, is
Piloty has never proved himself a match for his
rival In fertility of creation, in reach of imagine
; tion; yet we incline to give him the advantage
in a rapier-like keenness of thrust, in sparkle of
touch, and in mastery over materials. Piloty's
reading of history may be likened to Macaulay's
narrative, brilliant and lucid, with the interpola
tion of trenchant traits, startling as the epithets
which sting in the pen of Carlyle. These
blatint wall-paintings. which usurp
an area of sixteen thousand
square feet in Bavaria'a National Mu
seum, enforce with a vengeance all that can be
spoken of the change now passing over the face
of the atte In Munich. We here encounter noth
ing of the grandiose manner of Cornelius, noth
ing .oe lee subjective spirituality of Overbeck,
lietleßifillie classic idealism of Katillstete but in
stead, „much of the force and nobility of Dela
recite, somewhat of the melodrama of Gallait,
and a great deal of the vulgar power and bravura
of Horace Vernet. Thus do the divers schools of
European art tend to a cosmopolitan phase
which is easy to assume, just in proportion as
art surrenders elevation of thought and treat
ieent. Yet, whatever be the vicisaitudes
through which Munich may pass, her school
- seems likely to retain certain prevailing charac
teristics. For the painting of history her artists
obviously hold the recipe; they are evidently
trained in the precepts of the historic schooL As
experienced novel-writers know how to dispose
of characters and wind up narratives to a plot in
the third volume, so Munich painters have learnt
how, within a hundred square feet of wall-space,
to marshal their forces, to group and balance
their figures, and to bring lines of composition
together, whether by concords or contrasts.
Moreover, we incline to think that the painters
of Bavaria are fired by some enthusiasm; they
set to work as the chroniclers to whom is en
trusted the honor of the nation, and they ply the
brush under the impulse of patriotism. Never
theless, in the history of the Fatherland their
works will mark decadence."
A young and poor Italian sculptor of genius
has not the chance of fortune which awaits his
American contemporary. Poor Bastlanint, of
the "Benivieni Bust," was forced to sell his talent
—not so very culpably, we think—to tricksters
in the brie..a-brae business. We learn from the
Florence Italic that an exhibition of the works
left by the poor fellow at his recent death will be
held in Paris in December. The idea is due to a
Florentine antiquary and collector of works of
art, who took a strong interest in Bastianini,
and has seen most of his works growing
under his hand. In the exhibition will
be seen several works undeniably
by him, and connoisseurs will be able to
compare these with the bust of Benivieni which
has given rise to so much controversy. Among
persons already acquainted with the works of
the deceased sculptor, very little doubt can be
said to exist on the subject. They are convinced,
almost without exception, that Count Nieuwer
kerke and many other zonnoisseurs have been
mistaken in believing the Benivieni bust to be a
Cinque Cento, and that it is simply the work of
Bastianini. Among the things exhibited there will
be a bust of Isotta, in colored terracotta; one
of Lucretia Donati, the mistress of Lorenzo de
Medici, executed in marble,withoat any previous
clay model, and the bust of Count Jennison,done
from portraits since the Count's death
The flaming sunsets of Edward Theldebrandi
used to be the centres, a few years since, of the
fine Bailey and other collections, as hung for ex
ploitation in the Acadethy. These singular
paintings, with the history of their author, are
thus noticed in the Evening Post:
'The death of Edward Hieldebrandt leaves va
cant a specialty in landscape painting among
European artists which will remain a long time
without a worthy successor. This artist many
years ago attracted the attention of Baron Hum
boldt, through whose influence Hieldebrandt was
sent by the King of Prussia to Brazil, where he
remained some years, painting the grand scenery
of the South American continent- While thus
engaged he made one or two trips to Now Or
leans. Some thirteen years ago he came to this
city with the intention of making it a permanent
home, bringing with him from Germany a num
ber of his best pictures. But he received no en
couragement, and was, while - here, indebted to
Mr. Gignoux for studio-room. Becoming com
pletely discouraged, he left his pictures
in store and returned to Berlin. A few
months after he reached his home he
achieved a wide-spread reputation,and for a time
became the fashion. Americans abroad were
particularly dazzled by brilliant colors, and
flocked to his studio, and consequently he was,
even at enormous prices, unable to supply the
demand for his works. In this strait he sent for
the pictures he bad stored in America, and sold
them for princely sums to the very persons who
had refused to purchase them in New York at
merely nominal prices.
"As a token of regard to a personal friend, he
sent to New Orleans a picture entitled 'A Sun
set on the Island of Madeira.' There was
extraordinary power displayed In the glowing
colors, and many spectators insisted upon ex
amining the back of the picture to see that the
extraordinary effect was not produced by the aid
of tsanapar eat canvass anti artificial illumination.
This important work, unfortunately for art in
this country, was purehaaid by a rich German
merchant and returned to Germany. The pic
ture was literally what it claimed to be—
a sunset; and the illumination, instead of being
confined to a small space on the picture, was dif
fused throughout -the whole- canvas; even the
darkest shadows trembled and glowed with light
and teat. One of the points most remarkable
was the fire in - tie middle-ground underneath a
not containing aid evening meal of the fisherman
present. The fire was in full blast, and evidently
funned into intensity by the rising evening
breeze, yet the living coals appeared blue, com
pared with the golden hues of the departing
tun."
WIEADE'e. MONUMENT TO LINCOLN.—Mr. Larkin
G. kleade's design for the Springileld monument
to President Lincoln is simple yet imposing and
Impressive. It is a granite shaft 70 feet high,
placed on a base, and pedestal rising 30 feet—
snaking the entire elevation 100 feet. The base
rises thirteen feet,and is low and massive. Within
this portion of the monument Is the family tomb,
in which the remains of Mr. Lincoln are to be
placed; and here also Is the "Memorial," in
which are to be gathered articles and mementoes
of interest relating to his person, life and admin
istration. The top of the base is a platform,
t.pon which a thousand people may congregate
n any occasion of reminiscence or worship. As
cending, we next Mlle to the series of pedestals
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN--PHILADELPHIA
from amid which the shaft rises, and which are
adorned with sculptured groups illustrating the
different branches of the military and naval
service. One group represents the cavalry arm,
another the infantry; the third
thin nrtiltery, and — the — fourth — represonts — the
navy. The figures in these groups are nine feet
high, and display spirit and fervor. The statue
of Lincoln at the foot and base of the 'shaft, is
',twelve feet high, and represents Mai nt the mo
ment of signing the Proclamation of Emancipa
tion. Below, in Gothic characters,is the immor
tal name—Lincoln. Of courseSrom the draw
ing, we can form no conception of the measure
of success Mr. Meade will achieve with the figure
of the martyr President; but we hope to see in It
something of the touch and force of
genius. Encircling the pedestals are the
shields containing the names of different
States of the Union, which are linked together—
the idea being that through the wisdom of Lin
coln an - d
-the efforts of the army, the States were
maintained id the grand circle of the Union.
The shaft, which we now reach, Is in the obelisk
form, with the edges cut away, and, presents all
the value and striking simplicity of that ancient
monumental and commemorative design. It
tapers to a point at the top, and the whole is sur
mounted by a globe, on which stands an eagle
with distended wings.
There is no doubt that Mr. Meade's design was
far the beet offered to the Committee who have
in charge the erection of the monument; and wo
hope that with the alterations and improvements
be intends to make in it, it will finally stand as a
true work of art, worthy of bearing the name of
the good and wise man which is inscribed upon
is front.
The monument will cost $200,000. Of this
nearly three-fourths have already been raised ;
$50,000 was voted for the work by the Legisla
ture of Illinois, and the remainder must come in
the shape of voluntary popular contributions.
The monument will be erected at Springfield, 111.,
and seven acres of land near the town have been
set apart as a locality for it.
The following gentlemen constitute the Montt
ment Committee, who have the work in charge,
and who selected the design of Mr. Meade from
those offered :

The following official report from Commodore
Sands, Superintendent of the Naval Observatory,
in ngard to the recent meteoric showers, was re
ceived at the Navy Department onSaturday after
noon:
18 ITED STATES N.A V.A I. OBSERVATORY, WASH
INGioN, November 14, 1863. —Sir: I have the
honor to submit the following report of thu
meteoric showers this morning:
During the evening of the 13th instant, no
greater number of meteors were to be seen than
are usually observed in a clear night until about
11 P. M., when there seemed to be eq. Increase in
number and brilliancy, though not suffi
cient to indicate the beginning of a shower.
At midnight the number had consider
ably increased. and the prevalence of trains was
generally noted. At 12.35 the observing idarty,
consisiing of Professor Eastman and Messrs.
Harrison, Frisby and Hays, began to count the
meteors and to plot the tracks of the principal
ones that appeared in that portion of the heavens
covered by the star chart constructed at the Ob
servatory in 1867. At 1.35, three hundred meteors
had been counted, most of them quite brilliant,
and nearly all leaving green, blue or red trains.
Thus far the display had not been confined to any
portion of the sky, but most of them were in the
northern and southern heavens, and scarcely any
where in a position to be placed upon the star
cuart.
Many of the trains were visible for several min
utes, and one lasted for ten minutes, and traces
of one near B Urea Minoris was seen for thirty
minutes after the appearance of the meteor.
After 1.50 A. M. Professor Eastman, assisted
by Mr. Harrison, devoted his-time to mapping
and noting the time of apparition of the princi
pal meteors, and succeeded in sketching the
tracks of about 90. At 1.43 A. M. 400 had been
counted, and afterwards the successive hundreds
were observed in the following intervals. I The
intervals are here given by Commodore Sands. I
The observations wore continued until 6 A. M.,at
which time there had been counted 5,078. At 2.20
A. M. Professor Lewis and son joined the
party of observers, and assisted in counting the
meteors In the western heavens. Daring the
whole display there were many meteors seen in
the Wein, but from 4 to 5 A. M., the number were
about equal in the cast and west. The time of
the maximum frequency of the meteors was
about five hours, when they fell at the rate of
about 2,500 per hour. The radiant point was
quite well defined during the latter part of the
chewer, and was found by estimation to be
about 149 degrees in right ascension, and 22
minutes 30 seconds in declination. The trains
were unnsually brilliant, presenting the va
rious shades of green, orange, blue and red,
and remained visible for an unusual length of
time. Frequently as many as five could be seen
at or.ce, presenting the appearance when nearly
diskipated of light cirrus clouds. The shower
commenced several hours before it was expected,
as it was predicted last year that it would be seen
in the Pacific Ocean only in 1868. A number of
star charts were distributed several days ago to
the various observatories and scientific men of
the country, and it is believed that many valua
ble observations have been made, of which we
will soon learn.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
B. F. SANDS,
Commodore and Superintendent
The Late Bank Robbery and Murder
at Alton, 111.—Arrest of One of the
Murderers.
(From the St. Louie Republican, Nov. 151
The particulars of the Alton bank robbery and
the murder of the private watch man t on the night
of Oct. 31, were sent'in a circular by the author
ities of Alton to all parts of the country, and in
this way Marshal Ktek, at, the head of the Police
Department of Kansas City, was posted in the
matter, and kept his eyes open for the perpetra
tors of the outrage, a pretty accurate description
of all the four men supposed or
known to have been engaged in it being
given in the circular. A couple of young fellows
made their appearance in Kansas City last week,
and the Marshal at once "piped," followed, or
kept track of them. From the description he
felt confident that one of them was James St.
Clair, one of the accused, and when he ascer
tained that the fellow had endeavored to sell some
revenue stamps and nickels to the' bank in that
place, he was morally certain of it. Telegraph
ing to Alton for some one to come up who could
identify Bt. Clair,last Fridaythe Marshal tracked
the two men into a saloon, whore they were
playing cards. Marshal Keck stood behind St.
Clair until he "played his hand out," and then
taking both men by the collars, informed them
that they were his prisoners. To say that they
were scared, particularly Bt. Clair, would not ex
press the consternation depicted on their coun
tenances. Lodging them in jail, he awaited the
arrival of some one from Alton. On Saturday.
Detective Wright (formerly of the detective
force of this city, now in the employ
of the railroad companies on the oppo
site side of the river in a similar capacity)
arrived, and at once identified St. Clair. Of the
other there is some doubt, and his name is there
fore withhold. Both, however, in charge of the
Marshal and Wright, reached this city . on Mon
day night, and were lodged in the calaboose
for safe keeping. For fear of the habeas carpus
dodge, which is taken advantage of not nnfre
(ineptly as well to screen the criminal as to pre
vent injustice to innocent men, the fact of the ar
rest in Kansas City, as well as the arrival in this
city, was kept dark, until the prisoners could be
made secure within reasonable distance of the
bare of operations. When captured, St. Clair
had some of the revenue stamps in his posses
sion, and altogether, in stamps and nickels, must
- have had about,e3oo. It will be remembered
that the robbers did not succeed in getting into
the safe, and only got some $.BOO in revenue
stamps and nickels. The capture of St. Clair
gives hope that all the scoundrels will be brought
to justice, and Marshal Keck deserves much
credit for his sagacity and energy.

The correspondence of the Once a Week
says: A man, now and then, has the misfor
tune to hise his nose. What would be the
greatest conqueror that ever lived without this
useful appendage? Many it man would as soon
lose his life as his nose, hence the skill we see
exerted to supply its place when lost. Of old,
the organ was modeled, as far as possible, in
the form of the old member,and then the per
manent structure was shaped out of beaten
ailver,which was enameled so as io match the
complexion. The metal proboscis was
commonly • secured to the face by
means of a pair of spdctacles,
which skillfully hid the •liiie of-juncture.
There was one advantage in this artificial nose,
it needed no pocket handkerchief; but then it
suffered the drawback - of possessing no power
of smell. Outta percha has lately been used
d
ki
in place of metal; but by means of th rhino
plastic operation, the skilled surgeop as of
late years taken all the repairs of the f ce out
of the hands of the ortbo-practic artist. The
surgeon calls in Dame Nature to his aid at
once. Having made a figure in wash
leather of the amount of skin required to
form the new member, be marks the trian
gular outline upon the patient's forehead,
with the base upward. He now dissects the
akin down to the bone, lifting the cellular
tissue, together with all the blood vessels that
nourish it. The stump, or so much of the
nose as is retained, having been pared down
so as to give a good shape, the flap of the
skin is twisted upon itself just between the,
brows, so as to maintain the ~eirculation, and
then it is fastened upon the superstructure by
sutures. In a few days adhesion takes place,
the circulation is thoroughly re•established,
and a very fair proboscis is the result. .
Harelip, apertures in the cheek, are now
repaired at the smallest notice, with admi
rable results. In short, the skillful operator
• thinks no more of shifting patches of skin
about from one part of the frame to another
than the gardener thinks of resodding a bare
place in the grass-plat. Even lips are made;
but not in this manner. When these have
to be restored, the modeler is called in, who
models tho,features in silver, and colors it.
In these days of artificial heightening by
color, - oven this deception may pass muster;
butall attempts at kissing must be left out,
for obvious reasons.
A very ingenious method is adopted of re
pairing the heating, when there has bt.ta no
loss or rupture of the arum of the ear. It
often happens that the shell, or folds of skin
which form the outward ear, is defective.
Some cunning craftsman noticing this, has
contrived to mould flowers so that they shall
St in the opening of the ear. I saw a pair of
convolvuli thns fitted and so fastened with
wires that they looked like adornments of the
head-dress; and, no doubt, were very useful
in collecting the sound and driving it upon
the auditory nerve. We think we have shown
that art is capable of repairing,after a fashion
it is true, every conceivable damage to the
outward form; but it is just as far as ever,
however, from attempting to imitate the
living principle within. /Die smallest nerve
fibre, the minutest artery, show a workman
ship it never even dreams of' copying.
Nature keeps her secret, and will continue to
do so till the end of time.
Tile IS kligCr A ilsbon at Home•
The Paris correspondent of the London
Quetn writes:
"It was my good fortune to see Mlle. Nils
son at home a few days ago. She lives at
Na. 176 Rue de Rival, in a very modest
suite of apartments on the fourth floor, in a
magnificent house, however, and her little
balcony looks out on the palace of the Tuil
eries, where she receives a hearty welcome
whenever she is announced. It is a veritable
bird's nest that holds the Swedish nightingale
—modest, elegant and chaste. The little
drawing-room has a single window; it Is not
papered, but is painted in wide panels with
gilt frescoes. The white marble mantel is
adorned with a nymph in gilt bronze, and
two blue and gold Sevres vases. The window
is hung with white muslin embroidered with
clusters of stars. The furniture is of sky blue
brocatelle. Over against the window stands
a mahogany piano, the confidante and echo
of that voice which is compared by its admi
rem to that of Malibran.
"The bedroom is hung with pink chintz
sprigged with gray; the bed is canopied with
white curtains embroidered with clusters of
stars; the bedstead is white, threaded with
pink; an armoir a glace to match is in Iron
of the bed, beside which is a little fur rug
with a white fox in the middle, a souvenir of
some rural hunting excursion. The whole
furniture seems the reati7Ation of a young
girl's dreams. A few beautiful wreaths of
fresh exotics hanging about the room alone
indicate the recent triumphs of the song
stress.
"Mlle. Nilsson,the worthy successor of her
countrywoman, Jenny Lind, bears little re
semblance to her Swedish sister; she is thin
ner, taller and of a prouder bearing. She has
-a very beautiful face, and large, brilliant eyes,
with a peculiar expression and of an undefin
able shade. Her pale gold hair appears very
abundant, and her mouth is grave and some
what disdainful. Her complexion has not
the brilliancy usual to brunettes, for which
reason she looks far better at evening
embellished by the artifices of the
stage. The prevailing characteristic of her phy
siognomy is ecxtreme purity, united to great
will. If there be a secret in her artist soul, it
is an honorable one, and will be religiously
kept,
'Mlle. Nilsson's home life is a model of ex
treme simplicity, On the day that I saw her
she wore a plain black dress, with
linen collar and undersleeves; not a
jewel was seen, not even ear-rings.
While I was there an invitation came to her
to visit Brussels,: where she was offered
6,000 francs to`appear in Ophelia. She refused.
`Not,' she said, 'that the sum appears to me
inanfficient, but ido not like to displease my
self.' .
"The greatr songstress is known to all. It
is not of her talent that I wish to speak, but
of the individuality of the woman, who ap
pears to me to realize the idea of calmness
and purity united to culture in impassioned
art. It is not yet decided whether she will
sing Faust in the opera. The ex-director in
the Lyric theatre, who, it appears,has sundry
rights over the partition, refuses. It is said
that M. Carvalho's claims will be disallowed:
nevertheless,they form an obstacle at present.
The public solaces itself by listening to
Ophelia far not having Marguerite; however,
it is impatient, for it has a presentiment that
this will be an admirable incarnation of one
of the most poetic figures created by genius."
Modern 'Engineering.
[From the American Archon, Nov. 41
Aside from its almost universal ministering
to the varied necessities:to which humanity is
heir, there is no more thoroughly distinctive
feature of engineering science at the present
time than its nearly Limitless scope with refer
ence not only to the collossal nature of the
mechanical agencies brought to bear to ac
complish given objects, but in even a greater
degree to the immediate reatilts which must
flow from the attainment of those objects. In
this, modem engineering differs much from
that of more remote and less progressive ages,
in which even -the, greatest projects, seldom
Looked beyond securing some predetermined
end. r For instance, the Chinese wall,extend ,
ing for hundreds of leagues on the bor
ders of barren wildernesses and !te
quiring-in Its construction the abor of count
less-hosts of Workmen for unnumbered - years;
was intended for no other use than to keep
the wandering Tartar robbers from the deep
tilled fields 'of the Central Flowery Kingdem,
and when completed served this simple pur-
pose and no other. The same engineering
-effort - expended-in . ta••u rime and amm~g
-
enlightened people would be designed to pro
duce some economy of time,some utilization
of forces or some new agency by which labor
could be better applied than was possible be
fore; and instead of acting an inner part in
some merely passive function, would consti
tute an active means for the development of
progress, and would inure not alone to the
benefit of the generation that made the effort,
but would also form a source of per
ennial benefit to those that came after. As
an example illustrative of this last, proposi
tion may be mentioned the Suez Canal,which,
when completed so that ships may pass_ direct
from the Mediterranean to the Bed Sea, and
thence to India, must create a revolution in
the commerce between the Occident and the
East of scarcely less magnitude than that
which resulted from Vasco di Gama's dis
covery of the passage around the 'Cape of
Good Hope. Thus, also, should the long
talked of canal across the narrow region lying
between North and South America over be
come a reality, ships may sail in only a slightly
devious way from the cities on the Atlantic
seaboarCto" the harbors that indent the coast
of Asia, and bear to them from Anglo-Saxon
looms and forges, products, of greater value
W
than the spoil tt Castilian and Portuguese
navigators dreamed of in their early visions
of Cathay.
Another illustration of the same idea may
be found in the project, often revived, of
joining the Island of Great Britain with the
continent by a tunnel driven through the soft
chalk or limestone that is believed to consti
tute the bottom of the English channel, and
ttie importance of which project, if success
fully carried out, cannot be estimated merely
by the increased facility which would be
afforded thereby to travel and transportation,
but rather, by the community of interest and
the promotion of harmony between the two
nations with whom the memory of Waterloo .
is not yet effaced. In each of these examples
—and many others of like character might be
adduced—we find that however mighty the
project in itself may be, it is far transcended
in proportions by the results, direct or indi
rect, derived therefrom, and in this last, espe
cially, may be said to lie the colossal and far
extending scope of modern engineering.
A "Flyer."
The flies are becoming a great nuisance.
They abound in vast multitudes, and bite
with a vigor and pertinacity—or impertina
city—this season, which indicates a more
than usual excellence in health and appetite
on the part of the flies. Like many other an
noyances, such as boils, sea sickness,
they are said to be "healthy." As far as we
are concerned, we could dispense with a little
of our robustness with a good. many of the
tiles.
About the first thing a school-boy learns is
how to catch a fly, and the scientific manner
in which he will "scoop in" these wingei in
sects often challenges admiration.
The fly is susceptible of considerable train
ing. We have known bud to tame them so
that they would draw heavy loads, for a fly.
The process is very simple. As in the fa
mous receipt for cooking the hare, the first
requisite is to catch the fly. The fly being
dexterously caught by a swoop of the hand,as
he is meditating upon the schoolboy's desk,
the point of a pin is inserted into his body,and
he is allowed the freedom of the desk. So do
cile and tractable does the fly become,that he
will draw the pin around and not attempt to
fly away with it. The disciplineiks severe one,
however, and few flies have the constitution
to ever fully recover from it. The master
sometimes detects the boy in this species of
scientific experiments, and punishes him
under the statute which forbids "craelty to
animals."
The fly bas his uses. lie serves to keep
bald-headed sinners awake at church on a
warm summer's day,so that their unregenerate
hearts may be touched by the preached
word. He also encourages the spirit of in
vention, inducing the inventive to tax
their brains in contriving fly-traps. (The
flying trap-eze has no connection with fly
traps).
As it is through trials alone that a patient
spirit reaches its full and complete develop
ment, the fly is a useful agent in the good
wort, for the man who can patiently endure
the persistent efforts of a fly to alight upon
the end of his nose on a warm day, has
very nearly reached the perfection of patient
beatitude.
He could get out his posters and pro
grammes at once as a first-class "Job," jump
ing at once into an excellent "job-bing" busi
ness. In sensational novels and plays the fly
is considered a sort of deity. who is invoked
on frequent occasions. How often do we
read in one and hear in another, "Let us fly!"
as though that insect was the only power that
could "let 'er fly." We have been so much
annoyed by flies while letting fly these few
lines (which we hope will find you enjoying
the same blessing) that we are constrained to
lay down our "Faber No . 2" for a few mo
ments and get a lemonade to cool our parched
brow.
P.it3.—.lf there is a "fly" in it, the circum
stance must be attributed to the unusual pre
valence of that insect at this time. For fear
of getting fly-ty we will stop.
