(For the f hilndelphla Kvfning Bulletin.] COI.DE.VIUIB, Cteldly beat the December iain, .All day long on the window pane; All day long on the marble sill And the oaken casementJCold and still. t fSo glooming in mist the grand old house, " That one might have fancied the garret mouse Whispering her family words of cheer, Wliile her own little heart was chilled with fear. ■ Marble and oakwood, and mist and rain, -1 Made of tlie window a fitting iraino jfrte the face and the bcnufifu? golden hair Of the woman dreamily watching there. May-bo she, now, through the drizzled pane,: Through tlie pattering, bitter drops of rain, In the mist can sec a drift of years, And measure them scorn, that ash for team. ; , May be the clouds in their madness above • .Might picture a loving heart ruined through love; Picture a shame and a curse and a prayer, And an innocent child with golden hair. For one who is waiting beneath the tide Of the mournful sea should have called her ■ bride; Another is—where ? O winds that have kissed, Drops that have faffin on whomever you list,. Saw you anywhere in the world to-day ’ r A little golden-liaired girl at play? But the drifting tale is so old; The face of a woman exchanged for gold— . . A life that Heaven accounts a lie, Teaching the heart it were better to die— This is their telling: inscrutable Fate! Dyer your secrets are told so late. What wonder if now the December rain Seem a mocker, heating the window pane; It the white stone steps and the gravelled walk, (Where shadows at night were said to talk,) Or the ivied wall, with its old-time gate, All answered the years—So late! So late! / A moment only there pleaded a tear In each penitent eye. She dashed them clear With jewelled hands, and all desolate, Another time said defiance of fate. “ I will forget!” But her woman’s heart Even then remembered enough to start Apd to stop its beating almost, before The Herald of Fate in the opening door. •‘ Only a beggar”—the servant replied ‘ To her eager glance—and bowed aside. ' Only a beggar! the falling rain Oh the' cold stone steps and the window pane. Oidy a beggar! hardly the sea Will carry that echo silently. . Something prophetic, some wonderful word Of that inner language, her being stirred ; And haughtily waving them gone, alone She passed down the stately aisle of stone. While strangely enough, in this hour of heed, Seemed her feet entangled with damp sea weed; ■ And whiter her face than the marble floor— And colder her heart: she opened the door. The whirling rain and the sad wind bore Through the house a cry that forevermore Shohld answer the moan of that far-off sea With its echoes; —“Thus was it to be . “ One in the slime of the ocean beds;” “ Two on the pitiless cold steps—dead!” All warm and bright oh the window pane How shineth the sorrowful sun—in vain; For the poor tiredlieart in the jewelled breast, And the golden hair, have gone to rest. -'.>v ■■ H P.

AKT ITEMS. —Theophile Gautier, the only prominent feuilletoniste who toadies to the Empire, per forms the fmillet on for the Journal Officiel. In a late number this prominent art-critic pays a high compliment to Bierstadt’s“Storm in the Rocky Mountains.” He says : “This picture, which introduces us to quite a new sort of nature,' besides the merit of re presenting scenery unfamiliar to us, has that of being painted with great skill in a manner Which recalls the style of Calame,a painter not • enough appreciated in. France, who, more thaw any one else, lias known how to render Alpine landscapes. Mr. lSierstadt. may pridO' himself • on this resemblance.” The French Emperor lias honored Bierstadt by presentingliimwithtticci'ossoftlieLcgioii of Honor. Mr. Bierstadt will return home in August. —Artists, and all who have anything to do with paints, ;know that the splendid bright . color of vermilion lias a tendency; especially if it has been mixed with white lead, to assume a blackish brown tinge when exposed on the palette. This tendency may be altogether ob viated, says a scientific cogjeinporary, by mix . ihg with the oil one-eiglitli of its weight of flowers of sulphur. . —The very unequal force with which various cokjrsare, reproduced in photography has been " so insuperable im objection' to ' direct photo graphic versions of the old masters, that photo graphs from good copies made by hand in black ana white have generally proved far.pre ferable. In accordance with this well-known 7 -fact, Signor Morelli, perhaps the most accom • plished copyist in Europe, has for g long period been engaged in preparing for multiplication by the camera a series of fec-sitniiies of the Masterpieces iii the National Gallery. His last , work of the series is after the new Michael Angelo, «Tlie Entertainment.” —How BnouzE SIATUETOSS ABE CAST.— The Home Journal thnS describes the process l>y Which the small metallic statuary, so largely imported to tins country from France and Gcr '■ many, is fabricated: : ‘ ; - leading process of bronze casting ’ is■ vloiown as the cire perdue, or wax process ■ A structure of iron bars, forming of i;.'. itheistatue, sustains the core> TWs roug^“an gular outline stands on a kind of plilttb, m having a fire-hole beneath for. the .purpose of meMg the irM when the completed.

Over all this is placedan equal layer of wax, on which all the details are expressed by the sculptor. “When,” says bur informant, “the work is satis factory from every point of view,ascending rods of wax, representing channels by which air is to find exit on the metal entering the moulds, are placed wherever required. Viewed in this state, the model and its accompaniments strongly.suegest tlie venous and arterial system of the human body, as shown in anatomical 'works, with the•' difference. that the wax. tods are external to the model of the body, which is visible ,through the intervening mesliwork. The , whole ' model, and , rods are, then painted over with fine loam in a liquid state, the pro cess being repeated until the crust is strong enoiigli to sustain a threfe loam plaster. It is then bound with iron hoops, and a fire is lighted beneath the platform.-','' The outer coatr ing of wax, exactly representing the metal to he cast, is melted out, and the mould 58 *b tensely, heated until, dry enough to receive the; molten metal from a reverberatory furnace ad/. jacentto the mould.

The plug of the fur-; pace, is withdrawn; the flowing .metal fills the. ‘mould, ami the statue is completed. The process is somewhat hazardous, seeing that any defect'in the casting would completely destvoy •the long labor of the artist.” —Wilkie, the English painter, had a trick Of, speech. One day Calcott, an intimate friend, said to him: ; • • ; , Do you know that every one complains of your continued rea-al-ly ?” Wilkie mused a moment, looked at Calcott, and drawled out: “Do they rea-al-ly ?” You must leave it oil'.” “ I will rea-idrly.” , / , “Forlleaven’s sake don’t go on repeating it,” said Calcott, “for it aniioys me.” ; Wilkie looked, smiled, and in the most un conscious manner said: “Rea-al-ly!” —The aneedote of the great Emperor Charles having twicepicked .up Titian’s pencil and pre sented it to "him, saying, “To wait on Titian is sendee for ail emperor,” is well known, but we do not reinember to have met with the following : Titian had painted the portrait of Charles several times, but, now being called to the court of that prince, he, for the last time, painted his portrait .just as. it then appeared in the latter part of his life; and this picture also,, pleased the renowned emperor. Certain it is, that the very first portrait that Titian drew of him so struck him with admiration, _ that he would never after sit to any other artist, and, for every picture Titian took of 'him, lie gave him a thousand crowns of gold. Titian painted three portraits of the.emperor; and, when lie last sat to him, at the conclusion of the picture, Charles said, with emphasis, “ This is the third time I have triumphed over, Death!” —Philippe Burtz, in his “Chefs-d’oeuvre of the Industrial Arts,” urges the use of terror '(■.oila in familiar and realistic art. His rule is, “Let our artists use bronze for heroic, marble for. ideal statues, but take tlie clay and tlie modeling-tool more often in hand to reproduce the features of their contemporaries, or embody some pleasing fantasy. —Bouguereau, whose finished representa tions of babies and classical females are such favorites in America, lias executed an impor tant order.'of the Bordeaux Theatre. The .painting is for the ceiling of the concert-liall of that building, and. represents Olympus, with Apollo and tlie. Nine.- The painter, whose forte is so exclusively the delineation of ideal beauty, is himself, by-the-by, a commonplace, plodding, pudgy bonhomme of fifty, who spends his sum mers among the most ignorant and least beauti ful peasantry of France, the Bretons.. The fol” lowing is a description of the above-mentioned plafond, as seen in the last Spring exhibition at Paris :. “In the principal gallery is a highly-meri torious work of large dimensions, representing Apollo and the Muses in the Olympus, by M. Bouguereau, intended for the ceiling of the concert-hall of Bordeaux Theatre. Apollo, radiantJti; his office of high-priest of poetry and song, strikes his golden lyre. At the right, Jupiter and Juno sit enthroned, with a lion* couching at their feet. Venus, holding Cupid by the band, with Vulcan in the distance, listens enraptured. Mars, like a IGreeian Warrior, sits with his backtilrned, looking only half pleased. ' On the left, the nine Muses sing in unison with Apollo, and the three Graces listen, entwined in each other’s arms. Under neath, Bacchus recliues, surrounded by ; Bacchantes; while Mercury, with Phrygian bonnet, wings his way through the general harmony, supporting a goddess. The compo sition of this piece is remarkable for the light ness and ease displayed by the different figures, the groups being well distributed, the design correct, and the coloring dear and lively.” THE UOIWE-CAK TBAmATED I WTO FRENCH. Here is the form the city passenger railway takes in Paris; those who have often had the pleasure of waiting in the enormous omnibus, while being let down along a grating ratchet On to a set of lower axles and smaller wheels, will recollect the process as described below. The Parisians greatly enjoy their chetnin de fer Americain, which, however, as herein ex planted, is not allowed to invade the centre of the metropolis: ‘ “By the , quay-wall of the Seine, and at a comparatively quiet spot near tlie Place de la Concorde, will be found, at any hour of the day, three or four men standing in the open air, by a heap of strong carriage-wheels; it will ' also be noticed that a .double-track railroad , commences at this point; presently, either in one direction or the other, aii omnibus, drawn by three horses, and nearly as large as an Ame rican street-ear, will be seen. approaching; if this vehicle, which is provided with additional seats for passengers on the roof, is on the line of rails, it is coming’from tlie colmtry, and is brought to a standrptill when' it; artiv.es. oppo site the ' heap .of wheels near . ; tlie end of. the track; . if,.. on • the >- other hand,: it is- traversing the ordinary... ■ road, it is coming from some part of the . city, and is run on the track before being halted. In either case, as soon as a full stop occurs, screw-lifts; are placed under tlie front and hind-wheel framework on one side of the omnibus, and the axles of the two wheels, thus prepared to be lifted, are at tlie same tiine unfastened,; the veliicleds'tbejrtiltedovcr iTfew'inches'by means of tlie screws, the two loosened wheels are slipped off and two others are at once put oil with rims to fit the rails if tlie conveyance is. outward bound, and with ordinary fires if the omnibus is leaving tlie railroad to pass through' the city. Tlie screw-lifts are then removed; and the omnibus is in running order again, ■'Tliewheels which'reMain mishitted are not .''specially', adapted ;tp the; track, the rails, how , ever, are ■■ sljghtly-hollowed. The ' change is generally made in Jess than .two minutes, and, as socin as it is complete, tlie r order for a new start is given by the conductor to the driver. Tlie object of tlie whole arrangement, winch seems to work very well, is to avoid encumber ing tlie more crowded business streets with a surface-railroad track.” THE DAILYEYENINGBULLETIK—PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY JULY 29, 1869. • A PARABISGyO»HBB.IOODIifX. THE HOTEL ■> |;'j - , There is; in Parisian where, comparative history bfj, ologyj and physiognomy,.mhy . bJiAtttqied'w.lthv advantage, and a ki%>Wledge of no inconsider able part of ParisianTije'acqhired. This estab lishment is tlie Hotel Drouot, where the public auctions are held, for which reason it is also called the Hotel des Fences (House of Sales). It is a massive, fire-proof! stnifcture, erected by the commissaires priseurs at an expense of almost two huiulred thousand dollars. Of these commUqairetprispurs, or auctioneers,-there are eighty in' Paris; and, like tlie exchange-brokcrs, they, too, foim a distinct body, independent of whom no publicrauction : is. alloived -to—take, place.:/Theyrget ten per cent.. of the gross receipts, five from the, seller, and just as many from tlie purchaser. .As the proceeds of these public auctions at Paris aniount annually to up ward of thirty of .’ francs, and as, owing to the augmenting population . of the capital, tlie number of auctions is Con tinually on the increase, it is evident that the /position of taxateur is , in great demand. But such a position is very difficult to obtain, be cause it is extreinely dear—many of tlie Paris comniaaaireO pnseuts would not dispose of their places for, three hundred thousand francs. Bor, would money’albne sufflce. Application must be made by the candidate to the minister of justice, and tlie appointment is signed by the head of the government. : 'An "unblemished reputation 'and; attainments of a certain kind are required; tbe*applicant xnust pass ah Ex amination before a after which an oath is administered tolii jhbefore the board of the, corporation. The. number, of the Paris ; commisxaires priseitra .being confined to eighty, these positions are very rare,- and, as a general thing; vacancies are ,created only by death. | The corporation ol‘ the’ coinmisaairea priseurs dates from 1816, anterior to which year auc tions; were held under the direction of tlie hitis siera (bailifls), and seldom passed without dis orders. The. dealers: conspiring among and against each other; quarrels . of various kinds arose,' and tlie objects to be sold/were not un frequently injured. . At the present day, the seller is sure of seeing his interests protected. Tlie auction-liouse is two stories high, with, a spacious yard and Coach-houses. In, the rooms on , tlie. ground "floor none but heavy and common commodities are sold, while in the upper story, where on ■either side is a row of' larger or smaller apart ments, magnificent furniture, jewelry, and works of art, are knocked down to the highest bidder. ' On, the ground-floor the auctions for tlie lower, classes .take place,, while the products of art and luxuries put at auction upstairs are accessible only to the purses of millionaires and "those who are' well off. Still, the Hotel Drouot is not frequented merely by’, those de sirous of buying; a great part of tlie men ac customed to loiuige about there is composed of rich or poor idlers, or fellows who find no em ployment, or are not under the necessity of seeking any. In every room is ■ a •cornmissaire priseur, liaving at liis side a secretary;' and holding in liis hand an ivory hammer., In the apartments where valuables and Works of art are offered for sale, a connoisseur is ' also, present, whose business it is to determine the starting price. As a matter of course, each room has its own public, varying according to the iiature of the objects auctioneered there. The places where household furniture is sold are visited by tlie greatest number of people, and Parisians wish ing to get furniture atamoderate price com monly resort to the Hotel des Ventesfor their supply. Incipient doctors, lawyers, young officials, and many others whose possessions lie in the realms of hope, buy first one thing, then ’ another, wherewith to cover their naked clwell ! rings. , The looking-glasses, carpets; ■ divans, , arm-chairs, clocks, lamps,; and chandeliers, heaped up in these halls, excite various, and ' strange reflections. Could those utensils speak, < what tales might we hear! For people and : things in Paris suffer the most remarkable changes of fortune, and real life outvies the imagination of the poet. Many of the things standing , and lying yonder in such confusion have already been the property of individuals entirely unlike in every respect; and who can tell how often { they vare destined to change yeti’ Perhaps the first possessor of this .aim-chair died upon a pallet of straw in some retired corner of, Paris; perhaps the lady who once adiiiired her charms in that Venetian mir ror is now .-vending withered vegetables' or.'stale', fish in some suburb of the city! r Often enough it happens; too, that a visitor to the auction . .house recognizes among the articles collected there old acquaintances—pieces of furniture with which lie parted in an hour of necessity, or of which some inexorable executor deprived him; : y—” • ■ But we will dismiss these reflections, and enter one of the halls where products of alt are sold. Here the people, like the ware, are far more interesting, and alltlie reid judges of art and dilettanti m Vans, as well as those who imagine themselves such, congregate here. Here, too, we find those who; have been seized with a mania for collecting. The passion of one consists in possessing a rich collection of daggers; others prefer snuff-boxes; others, again, rave upon China teacups. I am acquainted with a man; in other respects quite rational, who, having a collection of fetiches, has; been for tlie last thirty years paying daily visits to the Hotel Drouot, and to all second-hand deal ers in Paris, for tlie purpose of discovering some hideous-visaged divinity to add to his collection.. His house is a perfect pandemo nium. The innate love of possession exhibits; itself in numberless ways, and not seldom be comes one of the strangest manias; Every collector; as a matter of course, regarding, bis collection as tlie finest, loves it witli . genuine fanaticism, and lias a spite against all \\ ho do not sliarc that feeling. Several years ago 1. made the acquaintance of a Spaniard.' We were fellow-boarders, and 1 met him almost daily on the stairs. A droller figure cannot be imagined, lie was as thin as a spindle, had a ■ long, pointed noise, extending nearly to liis chin; and, from beneath bristly eyebrows, liis small, piercing gray eyes flashed in a manner to make you feel rather uncomfortable. His dress was even More singular than liis figure, lie was always enveloped in a faded carpet, and wore a tumed-up, pointed ‘liat, which had seen Heaven/ knows how many gene rations arise and perish. No one could toll' when lie took liis meals. He came . regularly after a cup of milk and a loaf of bread in, the mornmg, and it. was asserted that; these • constituted his whole food. By the people of the house he was dubbed I'udomteur de Vinus, and, on inquiring the reason of this nickname, I was informed that tlie Spaniard was a: eol : -'lector of antique works of art, among th§m a , Venus,,to whom he paid the tribiite of the highest admiration. It was told Me at the same time that the strange fellow, who did not lialf satisfy his hunger, was possessed of great' • riches, wliich, however, were all being Mvested hi his collection. ■ Shortly, afterward, while admiring the Venus of Milo in the Louvre, he came' toward: me, ; and, having expressed his pleasure at finding in me a lover of. art, begged me to inspect his collection on the following morning., He did not await My Visitjbut came to me: I followed' him to his apartment, which bore great re semblance to a lmnher-room. Innumeiahle fragments of. bronze and marble were heaped up or scattered about everywhere. Booking n'.o the open alcove, I noticed on the flooh%- mattress- —the bed of this singidar personage. From the fact tliat he never opened a window, the air was so oppressive as almost to rob Me of my breath. A small, rickety table, and a cane-chair from which the .shreds were hanging, fonned the whole ameuhlement. Thi? chair stood in the. cedfte bcfoigMße goijdefis whu- wak; hal® cbytregjjby fall bf -holes/t Ti)6 SMiiajrd seat tlielafdfdsaid cham|which mfiaving dqne.'jwit&l . all of sculpture that was now presented to my' view, and I accorded to it due admiraton. The Spaniard, however, did not find the tempera " ture of my admiration!sufficiently high.'" llaiid- ■ ing.me a magnifying glass, therefore, he di rected my attention to the several parts of the .work, and sought to prove to me that its equal. was nowhere to be. found. In so doing, ho ehumeiated:!ffil.tiie;Yentiscs'tliat mid ever left” the classical workshops of Greece, now scat-; tered 'over"museums and collections iri a more or less fragmentary slate, -cast a few mbro : wistful .looks at ftia Venus, anil agajn covered 1 her with tliered-silkpetticbat. ;■' ~ ; I saw him a number of times iiftey tills. One. : morning, the lady of the house was startled by liis not coming -for the customary ration: of bread and milk. On rapping at-, his .(loor, no answer was returned, and, it having liecii opened, the Spaniard was found -lying lifeless -. on the floor before the Venus, at liis side tlie', upset chair.,!,The physician, declaied. that the ; unfortunate - man .'had come to , liis end from want of sufficient nutriment. , : , . . y Let us return the auctions., : There is no • lack of people who come with the sole inten tion of driving up prices. Thejm sham-purr LchUsersrwejlenQminatedJtfmi'dfetifSjAnd are.to tlie Hotel Drouot what the claqueurs are to the Parisian theatres. When, for instance;; a fine painting is put up,'tlie chauffeur' (heater) amines it as long as possible, and seems unable'* ;.o repress his ; admiration; lie bids with great eagerness, increasing in proportion as the others bid, and, when the flame of contention is. brightest, that is to say, when he sees that lib has forced up the price to the highest pitch, withdraws with a doleful shake ot the head, and leaves the field to his adversary, who not seldom repents his victory. As may be sup posed, such' a“heater” never betrays liispitrpose, and it is easy to be seen that lie does not al ways attain liis object. The visitors th the lintel des Ventes ate sharp, cunning 'people, ■ who will not allow themselves to be hoodwinked or -ensnared; Nevertheless, ;,there are some who now and then enter the trap, chiefly those who imagine themselves judges of art, wild put on an air of being able to distinguish a master by a single stroke of his pencil. .Here,, as in other matters of life, those are commonly first duped who .think their knowledge fortifies them against every mistake. The following hiay serve as an example to demonstrate the care it is necessary to exercise at the Hotel Drouot. At an auction sale of paintings a countryman iof mine was. one day sitting before the com mixmirc praeur’s tribune, with a catalogue in his hand, when a handsome lady, possessed of a very aristocratic exterior, standing beliind him, asked him in French, in an undertone; ’ whether he understood: English. On his an swering affirmatively, the lady requested hiin in English to bid for the painting that had been just put up. ,A perfect gentleman, my coun tryman immediately declared his readiness to comply with her wish. He soon him self contending witli a host of listening to the suggestions of the Unknown fair, had in a few minutes outbid them all. Not until then did it occur to him that his gallantry had hurried him away, that perhaps' , the lady, with whom he was unacquainted, owned the. picture of which he might become the unwilling proprietor. His apprehension conflicting with his politeness, he hesitated to. continue the., contest with the multitude of purchasers ; but the charming lady’s furtive, glances became every moment more irresisti ble, and, as though urged by some secret cliaim, lie kept on bidding, until, finally, ;tlie , painting—a landscape, with weeping-willows and a duck-pond—is knocked down to him at a ridiculously high price; He looked ' aropnd for the lady; blit the latter had already disap peared. The duped man, ashamed to ac knowledge himself the victim of an intrigue, paid for the picture, and, on leaving, with the weeping-willows and pond under his arm; had, besides, the vexation to hear the sneering remarks of those present. - : ; , Not seldom, too, a woman in mourning is seen at the auction sale of works of art. The objects offered for sale constitute all tlie pro perty her husband—who was ah artist, and snatched away by death before lie could acquire , honor and celebrity—had left behind him. The poor widow mournfully contemplates the: sketches and drawings to which so many sweet remembrances are attached, and with which’ she is to part forever; but she examines the ■people likewise, and seeks, some known fade.’ And, indeed,- several friends- of her husband have appeared to act' as charitable chauffeiirt), and to excite a desire ’ for purchasing. Their exertions are vain, however. From the .works by which the departed thought to win immor tality the dilettanti turn with a shrug, and a few second-hand dealers only can lie induced to take them ’for a sum next to nothing. 7 " If the most experienced are sometimes cheated, the inexperienced are, on the other hand, oftentimes favored by fortune in their purchases.. Some years ago, a friend of mine observed at an auction a small harpsichord of elegant workmanship, and adorned with several medallions hidden by a thick layer of dust. The buyers showing themselves very cold, the instrument was for a trifling sum handed over to my friend, who had scarcely, time to regret his purchase when an elderly gentleman hastily entered the apartment, took him aside, and prayed him to transfer the frail instrument to him. After long talking on both sides, the bargain was struck, my friend very Contentedly pocketing a handsome profit, and the gentle man, with even greater satisfaction, ordering, the harpsichord to be removed to his house. It remains to be said that the, medallions were painted by the old gentleman’s grandfather; Yet more fortunate was a young man who bought an iron safe at the'Hotel Drouot, in a secret drawer of which,while having it repaired at home by a locksmith, he found more than one hundred thousand francs in coin and paper. The gifts of Fortune are sometimes undiscriminatingly bestowed, but : never more so than in this case, for the young man was very rich. Tlie success of these sales naturally depends on circumstances, according as they are propi tious or : otherwise. If money is plenty, the Ipiyers appear in large numbers, and, high prices are realized, particularly for productions .of art arid luxuries. Every possible advantage: is taken of such favorable times by those who sell ‘voluntarily at ’auction, iis, distinguished from those whom cirCumstancesforce .to do so. Many a millionnaire, who affects to be an en .thusiastic lover oiL'aifr_anil.seemsiin__raptm , cs about his picture-gallery,'disposes of " it> as he would of any other commodity, when he .thhiks. he can derive a cdnisidefable profit. 1 Admired ■queens of the theatre, too, occasionally sell tlieir furniture in this way bii speculation. No fine with any reputation whatever in the dandy world dare be imissihg at these . auctions,; or. leave them without purchasing some article. '/■ ' u Those who come to Paris for the -first tiinp,, with a desire to see' this cosmopolitan city less superficially than is iisuallVthecasti,'/should by all means visit the Ilotel prouot. They: will find there the, strangest representatives of ■ all strata of . society, and may" enrich;. their knowledge of mankind to a much greater, extent than anywhere else. ’■' . Obltaary. ■ ;i; ..
