-KEBLE, AUTHOR OF “THE CHRIS TIAN YEAR/’ “ ; An excellent memoir of the Rev. John Keble, by Sir J. T. Coleridge, has just ap peared in London,from which we learn many interesting facts of a quiet but influential life. It is evident, among other things,that Keble a opinion ot ‘‘The Christian year;’ was much lower than that formed by his ad berenta and by the larger public of his admirers. From the publication of the book in June, 1827, till the beginning of 1854, forty-three editions, or 108,000 copies in all, were issued. Keble, however, as Sir- J. T. Coleridge says, had not the slightest idea of the importance of the gift he had made to the world, and even his. friends did not expect such a wide and rapid suc cess. A few years later, when some work was to be done in Keble’s parish, he was on the point of disposing of the copyright of “The Christian Year.” Luckily, his friends dissuaded him from such a sacrifice. Three of them clubbed together, and took a friendly mortgage of the copyright till the sum they lent him towards bdilding a church should be pßid off. jjiEBI(3AN POPULARITY OP "THE CHRISTIAN YEAB AND ITS AUTHOR. ” “Again and again (says Sir J. T. Cole ridge) my American friends, and sometimes even (strangers, have sought for an introduc tion from me to.him. 1 remember well a gen tfCTqa'n.dhe of the former, with whom 1 visited Htirplby !p£rk. In the morning we walked d(jwn tO; the service, and when it was Over, We had a long talk with Keble. At the close, as we were taking leave at the Vicarage porch, which is covered with ivy, my friend direfr' me apart.and asked me if I thought Mr. Keble Would take it amiss, if he begged of hjm abrahch of the ivy, cut with his own hand. Keble waß much amused, and cut it for him, as of course,-and unsparingly. As we tWo walked away, he said, ‘Ton may smile at my request, but I assure you I know and could name the persons at home who Would give me (I am afraid to mention the sum he mentioned), for every leaf I have in my hand.’” FOBTKAITS OF KEBLE. “ When Air. .Richmond drew the portrait of him in the prime of his manhood, which was afterwards en graved by Mr. 8. Cousins, he toid me that out of so many as he had drawn, he never found one so difficult to comprehend. Cu riously enough, when Mr. Cousins had stu died the successful picture and had brought his engraving to an unsuccessful first proof, he'told me he had never met with a more un intelligible portrait, and begged to see the original. Keble and he accordingly break fasted with me. and afterwards he also gave him a sitting. ‘Now, said he, ‘I understand the picture,’ and he certainly succeeded ad mirably in his rendering of it. Mr. Rich mond, it is well known, drew Keble’s head again in old age, and he pronounced it then most beautiful, and beautiful is the drawing, and, though I venture to think a little wanting in strength, also true on the whole. For that is not the true portrait which gives the face as it strikes careless acd commonplace beholders, Taut that which gives to congenial observers in the most agreeable way, I do not fifty an exceptional gleam of light or beauty, but the look that tells most vividly the characteristic workings of the mind and heart in their best moments. To me both the portraits are full of deep interest, the earlier and the later bath —each brings him back to me as he was; in the earlier, he has some of the merry defiance he could assume in argument; in the latter, I see the sad tenderness of his advanced years. Keble had not regular features; he could not be called a handsome man, but he was one to be noticed anywhere, and remembered long; his forehead and hair beautiful in all ages; his eyes, full of play, intelligence, and emotion, followed you while you spoke; and they lighted up, especially with pleasure, or Indig nation, as it might be, when he answered you.' ART ITEMS. —The French realist, Courbet, is preparing a picture destined to make a sensation. It represents a velocipede. The selection of such a subject is Courbet's manner ot entering a protest. —A German artist, Col. Balling, who has painted many military portraits, and whose large equestrian group of United States gene rals we saw in New York three years baok exhibits now at Washington, in Messrs. Philip & Solomon’s book-store, two life-size portraits in oil, one of General George H. Thomas, and the other of General Reynolds, the hero of Gettysburg. They were visited on Saturday by Generals Hancock and Heinlzlemann and others, who pronounoed them remarkable likenesses. The portrait of General Thomas has just been finished; it was painted at the artißt’B studio in Washington, and iB to be sent to the Union League rooms in Philadelphia. The portrait of General Reynolds waß painted from a photograph. It ib to be Bent to West Point. The artist, Col. Balling, iB on the best terms with, our military men, having served with distinction during the war. • —There is now on exhibition, at Snedicor’s Art Gallery, No. 708 Broadway, N. V., a collection of pictures by Elihu Vedder, who has recently returned from Rome. These are “The Dead Alchemist,” nine illustrations of the fable of “The Miller, hiß Bon and the Donkey," “The Death of Abel,” and others of great beauty. Theße fine works of art will only be exhibited for the ensuing fortnight We can answer lor the series illnstrating the fable of the Miller, which attracted ex traordinary attention in Rome during the winter of 18G7. It is a group marked by the inventiveness ol Dorc, and suffused with a quality of color which Dorc will never attain as long as he lives. The others we have not had the pleasure of seeing. Vedder is to be treated as one of the-chief supports of the art of the future in thiß country ; to technical qualities be adds an imaginative and poetic power perhaps unique among our arlißts. —Healy, one of our best portrait-painters, has painted at Rome a group which will soon be exhibited in several of onr cities. The subject is borrowed from the late history of onr country. The artist entities it “The Peacemaker.” General Sherman has, by order of the President, left his army at Golds boro’, aDd haß come to City Point to unfold his plans of ending the war by the capture of Charleston. The interview takes place in the cabin of the River Queen. The scene is brought very vividly before us, and the great actore in the close of the wonderful drama are on the stage. They are the President, Generalß Grant and Sherman, and Admiral Porter. The characters of the men are most admirably delineated. Their future and the future of their country seems to hover over the canvas. i —German art ■would seem to be quite highly appreciated in Boston.

The number of visitors has not been large, but, considering the Inclemency of the season and the modest ■ way in which the arrival of these works of art has been announced, more persons have been in the hall at the hours of exhibition than we had expected to see. “There are but twenty groups m the col lection (including one comparatively modern piece); but these comprise about eighty dis tinct castings, chosen so as to represent a variety of interesting monuments ot art, Btatnes, torßos, and bas reliefs, high reliefs, architectural and sepulchral decorations. These are ot different periods as well as ot different sorts. Thus the student of art or the student oi history may here find hib ima - giDation quickened, and his enthusiasm heightened with true representations of Gre cian sculpture, as instructive and Important to the classical scholar as are the museums of natural history to the students of nature. “In the central part of the hall are five large pieces of statuary —the Laocoon, the Sleeping Prisoner of Michael Angelo, the IlioneUß of Munich, the Venus of Milo and the KeDhisos. In the two corners to the east are two ancient busts —Apollo and .aiisctila pius; in those of the west, a Kanephora and a torso of Victory. Around the walla are several series of tablets, comprising. sixty • nine separate pieces, and including selections from the Elgin, Towneley, Budrun and Ly cian marbles of the British Museum, and some from other Bources. The most beautiful hast in the hall is the Venus of.. Milo, taken from the original in the Musuem of the Louvre in Paris* “The Parthenon friezes (twenty-two tablets in group number eight) are a portion of the celebrated spoils sent to England by Lord Elgin, British Ambassador at Constanti nople." —Wanted—An Antiquitt.— The press of London are getting up a demand for Cleo patra’s Needle, wnich, they say, belongs to England, having been bought of the Pasha and paid for years ago, but which still remains half- buried in the sands of Egypt. The cost of bringing it to London would not exceed £1,600, and then the metropolis would pos sess a “first-class” antiquity, some two or three thousand years old; whereas it can show nothing of a monumental kind older at the present moment than the White Tower or St. John’s Gate, which go back to the time of the Conquest. The newness of London is certainly distressing to the antiquary of acute sensibilities, but then the city enjoys this great advantage that, by reason ot fog and coal Bmoke, buildings of the reign of Vic toria already look as old as the Ptolemies. A RUSSIAN TBieEDT. * Pnigne Murder Trial and Its »■- ii a uc in cut. tat Pcterabu'-gh (March 6) Correspondence of the Lon don Morning fosL] We have just witnessed the denouement of a trial for murder, almost unique of Us kind, which has excited even more than the usual amount of morbid interest and curiosity. Tne details of the case are so striking in them selves, and bear so singular a resemblance to those of De Quincey's famous masterpiece of horror, the Ratclifle highway murders of 1812, whether as regards the artistic charac ter of the leading features in the tragedy, the exterminating nature of the crime, or the temporary impunity and ultimate detection of the criminal, that it may be worth while to give a brief outline. In the Gusevoi Pe reulok stands a quiet, comfortable house, inhabited in the Summer of 1867 by a Rus sian officer, a lady pasßiDg for his wite, a young servant girl, and a boy of 13. To this house, on a fine Summer evening, comes a stout middle-aged woman, Darya Solokoff by name, who has formerly been a nurse in the family —a common-place looking woman enough, hut for her strangely restless eyes, which appear to take in everything without looking straight at anything. Her tale is soon told: she has come in from the country this morning with butter and fresh eggs, which she has unluckily failed to dispose of; the afternoon train is already gone—will they give her shelter for the night ? The master of the house assents, and she curls herself up beside the kitchen stove, and is soon asleep. Between 2 and 3in the morning she rises cautiously, and gropeß about for a box-iron which she remembers having observed on the dresser. It is still freßh from its work, as the i user left it; but this night there is other work for it to do, which shall make it famous throughout the whole capital. The heads of the household are sleeping peacefully, when a stealthy tread glides into the room; and, by the dim light ot the night lamp, a shadowy hand is seen to rise and tall twice, with a dull thud like a tap on a padded dooi —a very faint noise, such as would hardly break the rest of a child; yet each sound is the knell of a human life. So far all is well; but two wUnesses' , Stili r remain—a single cry from either and all is lost. One switt, sure stroke, changes the quiet sleep of the young girl into a deeper slumber; and now ihe boy only is left. As the Evil Presence bends ever him, he turns and moans in his Bleep, as if striving to rise; but, before he cau wake, the blow falls which “makes all sure.” Another blow brainß the pet spaniel that sleeps at the foot of the bed; and the little playmates lie dead Bide by side, while the destroyer hurries to her booty. Several drawers and an escritoir are forced, and va rious articles of jewelry. &c., seized; the bank notes she rejects, having coolness to re flect, even in that moment of deadly peril, that they may perhaps fix suspicion on her; all else is rifled. In the gray of the early morn ing she glides away through the deserted streets, and is Boon in the train which will carry her home, chatting pleasantly with the two or three market people who are her com panions; while the orphaned dwelling that she has lelt peopled with dead stares blankly at the rising sun through all its silent win dows, awaiting the coming discovery. For thirteen mcnlhs the bloodhounds of the law course upon an uncertain scent; for thirteen months the murderer lives peacefully in her quiet village home, undisturbed by re morse for the past or apprehension for future. At length, the slightest of all possi ble clueß—merely the coincidence of a Chris tian name found article of clothing dropped in her flight—perseveringly followed up through months of wearisome investiga tion, brings down the long-impending retri bution. Bhe is arrested, confesses her crime; denies again; and remains stubborn in her de nial. All efforts to shake her flrmnesß prove abortive; the possession of tne stolen articles is insufficient circumstantial evidence in Rua siajliving witnesses against her there are none, : as she has taken care to insure; finally, she ia ’ sentenced to twelve years’ penal servitude — Blberia engulfs her, and nothing is left save her portrait and her hißtory. THE DAILY E\ EN'IKG ETjTiI.ETTH—PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1869. TbeZmVarhatlon o( tlic Cuban Exiles fur Fernando i*o-»lieatli to Npum!” -iiio snooting- ot Patiioa. i.i; [Corrcßpoßdonco of tho New YorkMntU Havana, March 21. —The three hundred and fliteen persons arrrested Bader suspicion here, and whose names I enclose,.Bailed from this place yesterday. They were insulted to j such an extent that they were actually glad i to go to Fernando Po, which is the moßt un- \ healthy spot upon earth. The prisoners are all of wealthy and respectable families—many extensive merchants, as are Embil, Castillo and Riqueline. There ;are ti besides, eight es timable clergymen of reputation, whose bag gage was strapped upon their shoulders, and who were made to carry their own trunks in that way; six physicians, five notaries and several rich merchants Of Cardenas and Cien fuegos. All are stowed away in iron cages, built in the cock-pit of a man-of-war for that purpose. There are several aged men, and it is feared that not one-half of the captives will ever reach their destination alive. It has been impossible to leave without the l,ouo volunteers shipped as jailors, notwithstand ing that the captain protested he did not re quire them. But it was written that the un fortunate exileß should iiever be* spared the presence of the ty rants, who-for three months had ineulted them through the gratings of the Aloro Castle and Cabana* dungeons. More than -',OOO Spaniards, together with troops freshly arrived yesterday, and numbers of volunteers, crowded the pier’ to , witness the embarkation and join in the ories of “Life to Spain” and “Death to Traitors!” But few Cubans were present, but one” of them was rash enough to exclaim, amidst the indigna tion aroused by the speotacle, “Death to Spain!” He was immediately falleu upon and pursued with blows to the adjacent Plaza d’Armas. -At'the same time another having said that he should r be tried before being punished, he was shot upon the spot. Still another shared the same fate at the hands of a volunteer for having exclaimed “What infamy!” While itbiis tragedy was being enacted Gen. Dulce.-who was in the palace, came forth and demanded to know what they wished to do to the young man already covered -with bruises and wounds, and he was answered,-“to shoot him.” The General replied that "a courtihartial would instantly be convened"and'thß merits of the case looked into, but that he was not author ized to execute anybody. Accordingly the court was then and there constituted and composed' of the chiefs ot the volunteers. Dulce was made to give three cheers for Spain, after a few voices were distinctly heard crying “Death to Dulce!” Within two hours the youth was tried, condemned and executed by four volunteers. Ere he died, he exclaimed. “Long live Cuba free!” and was loudly applauded. Per contra, the Spaniards for fully ten minutes maintaine i the cry of “Life to Spain; death to Cubans.'' The General returned to the palace confess ing his impotency, and that the real victors were the volunteers. These dreadful occur rences may, however, .save the lives of the two hundred and fifteen who were sent away yesterday.for the blood of the two victims al luded to above no doubt satisfied for the pre sent the thirst for blood of their executioners. Many citizens are leaving for the United States to-day, regardless of the threat of con fiscation, with which all persons suspected of sympathizing, with, the patriot cause are sought to be intimidated. Old Coins—Interesting to Numisina- The Newark (N. J.) Advertiser says: “Mr. J. F. Ehlers, who was with Farragut on his Mediterranean cruise, has brought home with him, among other curiosities, nearly a hundred ancient coins. They form one of the most remarkable and valuable col lections in the country. Among them i 3 a coin of Alexander 11. of Macedonia, who reigned from 3Gb to 307 before Cnrißt. It is accordingly two thousand two hundred and thirty-seven years old. “The piece is so well preserved that its in scriptions and figures are distinctly marked. This, however, is probably not the oldest amoDg the collection, as there are others which bear the mark of antiquity, but whose date hhs not yet been determined. A clearly marked coin of Anastasias L (»18 A D.) is among the ‘more modern’ ones. The letter M, which it exhibits upon the reverse, is sup posed to be the Greek numeral 40, expressing the value of the piece as 40 numia. The ‘con,’ underneath, is the abbreviation of Con stantinople, and the cross, over all, is the Greek cross. On the face is the bußt of the Emperor. Same of the coins have in their crevices the dirt of the ground from which they were recently excavated. Mr. Ehlers has also collected a number of coins now in use by many European nations.” A correspondent says to me on the sub ject of Valenciennes Rice: “Whatever J may be your private opinion upon Spanish j cookery, I assure you that you will waste neither time nor money by putting this re •cipe into execution." Valenciennes llice. —Heat half a pint of good olive oil, or one-half pound of fresh but ter, in a saucepan, until a slight vapor arises; then throw in half a pound of large rice and some pieces of veal or poultry,or even clams, taking care that the fragments are of small dimensions. Add chopped onions, tomatoes and sweet peppers, if you have them,a pinch of powdered saffron, a little chopped parsley, salt and pepper and a clove of garlic if you like it; leave it ten minutes, then pour about a pint of water in the saucepan and cover it up. The rice will soon swell, and after half an hour or three-quarters at the most, the water will have disappeared. Then throw all into a colandar, skim off the Oil which has not been absorbed; turn out the rice,which will now be of a fine yellow, upon a dish, place this dish in a hot oven a moment to brown the surface, and serve it, accompanied with lemons, which each guest may use as his pleasure. My correspondent adds: “This exquisite dish will make an enthusiast of you ! V alen oiennes Rice is especially adapted for warm weather, and prevents those internal derange ments so frequent from June to September.” . —Petit Journal. To.

SomeCheycDno prisoners are also brought in, including the bead chiefs of the Dog soldiers, Big Head ana Dull Knife. The command has dis covered the hiding places of the plains Indians. It witnessed the recovery of the sorrowful white captives with intense emotion.

Brigand taunting. A Verona paper publishes a curious letter addressed to a friend by Lieutenant Carlo Cagliari, of that city, who is an officer of bersaglieri in garrison at Carsoli, a town in the Abruzzi. “On the third instant I set out with five bersaglieri, disguised as brigands, on an ex ploring expedition. For six whole days we vißited the most secret recesses of these mountains without discovering anything or, 'meeting any one. On the nth, at 3 P. M.; as we lay in ambush in a thicket, we were surprised by a volley from five or six muskets. None ,of ub were hit, and w,e at once stood upon the defensive, doubting not that we were assailed by brigands who had detected our disguise. Unfortunately it was not so. I soon perceived that we had to do with a detachment ot National Guards from a neighboring village, who took us for real brigands. I shouted to them not to fire, that we were bersaglieri in disguise; but they would not believe us, and a second volley, at no more than fifty paces, stretched one of my men upon the grouud. .1 knew not what to do; at last Icalled to them to cease firing,and that we would surrender ourselves and lay down our arms. They accepted this, and we laid our revolvers (our only arms) upon the, ground. ■ •_ “About forty persons, National Guards and armed peasants, then surrounded us. I in quired for their chief, and waß shown a man a; tv, TBE INDIAN Wiß.

I thought of my family and looko 1 at my companions, who : were mute and ,re signed; Again, addressing the commaudor of the National Guards, I-warned him of tbe frightful crime he was about to commit, and of the punishment he would incur by shoot ing ns without ascertaining who we were. "‘My persistence in maintaining myself to be a bersagllori and an officer only exaspe rated his ferocity, and he threw himself upon me, struck me in the belly, tore my clothes, and wounded me slightly. My beraaglieri all uttered a cry of indignation, and that mo ment we regretted our revolvers. Just then came up a : peasant, whom the others ad dressed as the syndic. I spoke to him, and asked at least four hoars’ respite, that I might write to my captain. Ho consented, and sent ns to the village under escort. I begged him to ascertain whether the soldier who had been shot down at my side was dead or only wounded. An hour afterwards he was brought in badly wounded by a bullet that ha 1 passed through bis thigh. Three hours later my captain arrived in hot haste, and I and my men were set at liberty."

Evening Bulletin.! Washington, March 31.— Tbe Conference Committee bave agreed on the Tennre-of-Ofllce bill, and General Bntier has reported the action of tbe Committee to tbe House. The House re cedes from Us action whoreby it refused to pass tbe Senate amendment, and the Senate agrees to certain modifications of tbe amendment. Tbe first and second sections of tbe original bill are totally repealed. The first section of the Senate amendment Is not changed. The seeond section has all that part stricken out which pro vides that in case the Senate refaee to as sent to any each suspension, the officer so suspended shall, at the end of the next session of Congress, resume the func tion* of the office; and In lieu of this tho Con ference report provides that the President then, and not otherwise, shall nominate, as early as practicable, some peraon to fill the office from which tbe officer has been suspended. Tbo third section of the Tennre-of-Ofilco act Is amended so as to permit the President to fill during the recess any offices which may become vacant from resignation or expiration of the term of office. Mr. Bingham explained the conference report to the Honse and urged that it be adopted. Gen. Bntier folio wed, taking the same view,and said that the Senate amendment was so modified as to prevent tbe Senate reinstating an officer if they did not agree to his suspension, and this was satisfactory to him. • The debate which followed upon the report was participated in by Messrs. Logan, Lawrence, Allison, Davis and others. Mr. Ntblnck (Dem.), of Indiana, said he conld not fo.low their old leader, Gen. Butler, any longer, and mast therefore dissolve partnership with him The Democrats had enlisted under hla leader ship on this question, hot now he had forsaken them, and agreed to a hermaphrodite proposition which posseeßtd neither color or sex, and they therefore reluctantly withdrew from his firm, with expressions of grave doubts as to whether they coaid over trust him again. Mr. Davis eaid the Conference report was not well understood by the members, and being a very grave question, he hoped the subject would go over until to-morrow, to give members an op portunity to examine it. Mr. Buffer refused to yield the floor to allow the motion to be made. Messrß. Poland and Logan both considered the ronferenco report as a virtual repeal. Mr. Butler called the previous question, which was seconded, and the report was agreed to by a vote of 106 ayes to 67 nays, the Democrats all going against it. From Washington, Washington, March 31. —The following nomi nations were sent into to-day : Emil Holchester, to bo Consul at Barmen; George Moxinn, to be Assessor of Internal Reve nue for the Blxth District of Kentucky; B.

The debate disclosed the fact that moDv Senators are anxious for an early ad journment. Mr. Fessenden said it was best to omit action on the question until the Indian Appropriation bill was finished. Mr. Sumuer protested against fixing any time until tho status of Georgia and the other unre constructed States was settled by legislation, Thu Naturalization bill passed, and othor necessary business attended to. Mr. Anthopy thought the Senate would bo no nearer tho apparent ond of its business two weeks hence than it was to-day, as experience showed that the business on the calendar in creased instead of diminished up to the close of the session. Mr. Hamlin believed that an adjournment could be made by tho close of next week, and movfed that'Saturday bo Inserted In the resolution instead of Tnesday. . Mr. Thayor opposed the passage of the resolu tion at this time. Mr. Conkling favored it, and claimed that the understanding in tho cauens that only certain subjects of legislation should be considered this session should'bo-adhered to. In tho courso oi the debate, several Senators spoke of it as almost certain that the Sonate would have' to remain 'alter Congress ad journed t6' attend to Executive business.
