'''....%!-Mrs.•,,Tailieson calls. him Razzi. ,He •was•a
Piedinontese by birth. Vercelli, britween
Turin and Milan, was his native town, but he
'; belonged to the 'Umbrian school, arid was a
• yoteutorary of the great masters c,f that fa
!ri =oils art epoch. My friendii, to whom his
fresooes in this place are familiar, have with
'courteous fidelity hunted out all of them which
are in Siena, for my benefit and enjoyment.
Those in, the Oratorio of San Bernardino
pleased me the most; they are very beautiful.
r • There, are eight—a "Presenkition," "Vlsita
` •tion," "Assumption" and "Coronation," and
four saints in the corners of the Oratory—St.
!Louis, St, Francis of Assisi (Dante's St. Fran
), St. Anthony of Padua, and St. Bernard
of Siena. There are some of his pictures also
~- In the Academy---one is the Flagellation,
which Hawthorne admired. In the Church
,-;.•
of St. Agostino is a charming Nativity, and in
`:• 1 :'! , Ban ,Spirito is a Madonna throned with saints.
't' 'These pictures are well worth searching out
a and studying. The faces of the Virgin in So
.est, doma's pictures are always beautiful, and va
-'%;* xied in expression and style of beauty, the
draperies well managed, the female forms
graceful, and the groupings good.
But _Twill go back to the Public Palace. We
found a beautiful old casket or small ohest in
the Conaistory Hall, ,covered • with delicioxis"
little paintings by Fra Angelico, saints on a
, golden gieund, and amethysts and garnets set
in the old foundation of the surface; many of
the stones had fallen out, the golden ground
- was dulled, the rich velvet which once lined
the inside Ming in shreds ; but the divine grace
of Beato's angels still remained, and the lovely
form of the casket. There are many carious
old pictures in this and the other Halls, by
Beccafumi, Taddeo Bartolo, &c., extremely
interesting to those who, like me, are study
ing the various schools of art from the very
works of the masters.
Another rainy morning we spent in the Ca
thodal. Although wo are in this Paradise of
earth, Italy, the equinox has, of course, given
us our share of its floods; and in such
weather T must admit that but for these won
derful works of art, Siena, 4ome, and all
these old places so dear to the student of art
and history are just like any other vulgar
towns.
We prowlettand pried about everywhere
the custodians had grown . familiar with our
faces, and allowed us to go around undis
turbed, glad to leave us to ourselves, I fancy,
for our questions took them sometimes quite
out of their shallow depths and sent them to
the usual Italian cicerone reply," Una cosa mys
teriosa"—" Oh, that; . it is a mysterious thing ;"
for, like their Celtic brethren of the Emerald
Isle, they cannot admit they are ignorant.
Again, we loitered in the Library or Sala
Piccolomini, which I described in my last
letter, and found to our great pleasure in one
of the pictures of the series ‘ a whole group of
portraits of the celebrated artists of that
period:. They stand in the foreground of the
fresco which represents the, canonization of
St. Catherine of Siena by Paul II.; each one
bolds a long candle or taper, and acts the part
of an attendant on the ceremony. Raphael is
the most prominent, a handsome young man,
in an attitude that is a little too forced and
conscious. Then follow Perugino, Pinturic
chio,looking admiringly at Raphael, Da Vinci
and others. The custodian pointed out what
he called Raphael's portrait in every
and there is certainly one face and form in
each picture which is alike and which has the
Raphael type.
- In the Choir of the Cathedral are some beau
tiful frescoes by Salimbeni, a Sienese artist
(1557-1613); one, representing St. Catherine of
Siena surrounded by saints, is a touching and
beautiful picture. While we were standing by
the steps of the Choir, near the main altar,tho
custodian came up to us and unlocked a small
bit of the wooden flooring which covers part
of the rare and beautiful church-floor. We,
thought he was going to show us another por
4:ition of the , wonderful yr aft/to work on the
floor, but it was a peep into the Baptistery he
gave us, which is below the Cathedral. There
was an iron grating, and through this we
• amid see a small statue, the floor of the Bap
tistery, and parts of the two huge clustered
pillars which stand on either side of the Choir.
These pillars help to support the arches and
roof of the Cathedral, but their bases are far
;below the floor of the Church, firmly set in
the foundation of the Baptistery. Truly, in
;those 4lays they were "the men who led black
llsrse's - bir the mane."

which hadjust been excavated_ at that period,
and his great genius received from them the
divine seed of antique art whiph had lain in
the earth so many years ; it was a veritable re
surrection 9f true beauty. The sons, of,
NicholaS of Pisa,Giovanninna,.Ainolfo,lielped
their father in his famous works. One of the
doors of the •Baptistery at.Plorence was Made
by another member of this school, Andrea of
Pisa and Giovanni, the son, is, said. to have
made those wonderful sculptures on the Fa2ade
of the Orvieto Cathedral.
Nicholas of Pisa built the firstfaeade of this
SienesaNatliedral—the ruins which lie so sol
emnly agniiist the blue sky, back of the church.
The lireaWnt, which has lately been renewed,
was designed by the son Giovanni; near the
end of_ the thirteenth century. It looks now,
I supppse, as it did when it was first built.
This fine, gay front is literally covered with
sculptures, gildings and paintings; on it are
heraldic birds and beasts of the various cities
allied to Siena during the proud period of her
power. ' There is the swan of Perugia, the
goose of Orvieto, Volterra's vulture and Luc
cus's lynx., ; The style is that beautiful Italian
pointed. There mei three plein cintre doors,
surmounted with 161,bles, and flanked at the
angles with two towers. Over each door is a
bust of three patron saints of Siena ; but the
most remarkable sculpture on this elaborate
church-front are, the Prophets and Angels, by
della Quercia (1438), he who modelled that
,7,onderful, sorrowful crucifix iti_the San Mar
tin() church of Siena, a work 'of such solemn
beauty that one feels wherelooking at it as if
transported back to those past ages of child
like faith. The front is inlaid with black, red
and white marbles, which forms a superb back
ground to the elaborate sculptures, paintings
and gildings, and the whole fa9ade flashes out
gaily in the,bright Italian sun. At midday the
union of snowy marble, rich colors, the gild
ing and parti-colored stones, makes it too daz
zling to look at.
Pages and pages 1 could write of what I
have seen at Siena during the period of this
happy visit. One bright, balmy afternoon we
went into the city to hunt up all the places
connected-with the life of_ St, Catherine. On
the way we stopped at the Church of Fonte
Giusta to see a famous picture of the Sibyl an
nouncing the birth of Christ 'to Augustus, by
that remarkable artist and great .architect,
Balda,ssare Peruzzi,of Ferrara; his epoch was
from 1481 to 1537. The figures, of the Empe
ror and his attendants are very poor, but the
Sibyl is a fine, heroic figure ; the pose is full of
enthusiasm, and expresses the inspired, pro
phetic spirit of the legend.
When we reached the top of the ravine
which leadS to Fonte Brenda we left the car
riage and walked the rest of the 'way. Siena
is a hilly town ; the streets run up and down
in a manner that is more picturesque to the
eye than agreeable for driving. When we
stood by the Cathedral Choir steps and looked
down through the grating upeon the Bap
tistery, the custodian told us that we were on
a level with the clock in the beautiful Tower
della, blangia, and that two churches of the
town stood below us, each descending as a ter
race from the other.
The hill to our left, above Fonte Branda, is
crowned by the convent and church of San
Domenico, in, which are the Sodoma frescoes
and Vanni portrait of St. Catherine of Siena,
of which I spoke in my last letter. Her
father, Benincasa, lived in a street notfar
from the Fonte.. ,W,Thoen she was a beautiful
child, so gay and graceful that the people
called her Euphrosyne, she used to run up
and.down the St. Dominic hill,going and corn
ing from visits to a married sister who lived
near the church. Itt• is very easy to imagine
the bright little girl sitting doWn to rest on
the brow ' of the hill, in the early morning or'
rosy sunlight, looking up at the beatitiftil St.
Dominic Campanile and far-off blue Sky. Her
young mind , was stored with, marvelous le
gends of saints and martyrs. Outside and in
the splendid new churches of her city she
found these inspiring stories commemorated in
glowing colors and snowy marble. It was
the period when such histories held in them
a vital pulse. So no wonder. was it that to
her eYes 'the heavens opened and presented
fair visions and glorious . ecstasies.
Of con se we stopped, looked ,up at the St.
Dominic Hill, and each one of us Painted our
own picture on the ever-successful canvas of
inney—fresh_contributions to Gautier's dear
world of ,art. Then, as we descended to the
Fonte Branda, we became very prosaic, and
had a talk with an intelligent, civil Siena
woman about the tan fuel, or forme, as it is
, -
called, which is to be seen in every direction
drying , in the tien.,Siena is still a city of dyers
and tanners, as it was in,St._ Catherine's time.
The refusetan is, wet, and pressed intoiound
moulds, Which are about two inches thick and
five inches in diameter. Thesefortne are then
spread about on the roofs of houses, bitconies,
on the ground, - everywhere, to :dry,and are
sold at only a, franc a hundred; they make
excellent fuel. I - remember, when . / VMS liying
in Switzerland several years ago, I observed
that the people =dung yevay made a fuel out
of the refuse of the vintage—the pressed grape
filcins and seeds. This ,was dried as the tan
refuse is at Siete., and made an excellent fire
with the addition of old vine-roots.
Fonte Brenda is a sort of huge tank or well,
into which alitee springs of the" hill that rises
behind it are gathered: These. mountain
waters lie in a grand old Gothic hall, and once

I have to leave many remarkable things un
noticed which I have seenin Siena: The place
will be a "Yarrow Revisited,". at some future
time. Long as my letter is, however, it must
still have room and you patience .for the
most beautiful thing of all these treasures of
old Art which I have visisted—a Crucifixion
by Fra Iltartolonfeo, in, the 'Cloisters of San
Spirito. ,
We bad been very busy all .the morning of
the day we saw it, visiting chapels, oratories,
halls, &c.; fixing dates in our memories; class
ing oft' variouS artists in their different periods;
striving to remember the emblems of various
saints,, and. recalling hosts of old legends;
doing all that delightful work of art sight
seeing, which is so Well and pleasantly done
with companions such as mine aro—com
panions who have congenial tastes, whose
reading and pursuits have been on the - same
subjects and in the same course, and,addt d to
these,have the great advantage of having lived
their lives among these beautiful old works.
We reached the 'cloister a little fagged out.
The custodian opened a door at the end which
led into the church, and there came suddenly
upon us this wonderful work. - All fatigue was
forgotten, and-the wordi were:stilled .on our
lips.• So few crucifixions are satisfactory;—this
is almost divine. The most touching face is
St. John's; it is full of love arid sorrow. The
eyes are swollen • with weeping, but they have
no more tears to shed,—the grief is boundless.
He looks out from the picture as if claiming
the sympathy of all humanity for this great
sorrow. There is faith in the expression of the
pbor, tear-swollen face, but mingled with
the belief is a despairing astonishment.
The mother's - face, too, is full of an-
guish. St. Mary Magdalena sits at the
foot of the Cross, and, according to that an
achronism permitted in art, St. Catherine of
Siena kneels on thOother side, looking • up at
her-dea,d Lord; but the expression of her face
hr. different.,., Her sorrow In 'sympathy, an,
guish fora pat grief, not the agony which is
depicted on the other faces. The face of
Christ is peaceful, but shows the marks of physi
cal pain—not actual, but past—the suffering is
over, and we feel ourselves in the presence of
death—in that first, still deipairing moment,
after that which we have loved, prayed for,
nursed, tended with eager, breathless, almost
rebellious energy, slips from our loving grasp,
and we know it is all, all over for this state of '
being at least!
It is a deeply suggestive picture. I wished
it could be taken from the wall and placed out
in the busy world, in some great open build
ing, where every one must see it—Christian
and Heathen, Roman Catholic and Protestant
Catholic, warring nations, unprincipled states
men and politicians, angry kinkollt—all who
have wronged or been wronged, and all who
have suftered through death.
My thoughts and wishes were very imprac
tical, I have no doubt ; and yet what a differ-,
ence there would be if all mankind could un
derstand this Great Mystery as did that Saintly
monk, Era Bartolomeo.
When I returned to the villa and read the
Italie for the day, I was startled to find in
the telegraphic despatch the strange news of '
Father Hyacinthe's withdrawal from his Or
der. In another column was his letter to his
Superior at Rome, giving his reasons for this
solemn decision. The letter is • dated from
Paris, September2oth. It is an attack upon
what is called the clerical party at Rome.
In one of my letters last Spring to the Bur.-
'LErifil described a visit I paid to Father
Hiacinthe,and gave the favorable impressions
his appearance and conversation produced on
Me. He is—or was, I suppose I should say—
a member of the Order of Barefooted Car
melites; a very eloquent man, Superior of
the House in Paris, and has occupied the
pulpit of Notre Danie for five years. For
some time past—over a year—there have been
rumblings of this storm which has now broken
. out. Father Ilyacinthe's letter.is very effec;
tive, but labored, and has in it all the egotism
of a Frenchman. It will, however, produce
a startling effect—all the more powerful be
cause it makes its appearance just now on the
eve of the Council, and he isart able and dis
tinguished Man. The news struck me very
forcibly,and caused me keener pain because
my thoughts were full of that Crucifixion by
Fre Bartolomeo—and I wondered why the
followers and would-be imitators of that Lord
who Was reviled,and reviled not again, -should
quarrel so endlessly and cruelly over-His re
ligion, whose pre6epts teach peace and good
will to Mell. ANNE BREWSTER.

but lie certainly violates the rules of 'decorum
when. he IleriounceS Ithotie •who, maintain an
opposite opinion as robliers';' . Which' he has
done, and, characterizes. a netition to the, Le

to certain inbtitutiOns as an attempt` at rob
bery. 'Remembrance of such epithets sus
tains a notion that he meant to, imply, by the
terms "improper legislation" and
:"'improper ob
jag," something wicked-namely,, ,
In my very =humble judgment the appro
priation of the Penn Squares in the manner
proposed would be eminently proper, the
opinion of the editor of the. Sunday Despatch to
the contrary notwithstanding, .111 such appro
priation I see advantages for the people with
out any loss or cost to the public treasury,
either of the city'or of the State. • But, as, far as
am informed, this question has beeh defi
nitely settled, and there is no design
on the part of the trustees of tile
building fund of the Academy to
open. it again. ' , lnasmuch, however, as many
contributors to the fund desire that 'the
new edifice shall be erected on Broad street,
the; trustees would cheerfully place it there,
'Provided that a suitable lot shall be purchased
and presented for the purpose.
The_editor 43f theAunday Dispateh t _wi •
frankly withdrawing or urging his general
charge of corruption, says: " - We haye only to
say that those who are desirous that wrong,
shall be done for their benefit can scarcely
hope to escape the suspicion that they would
not be very particular as .to the means em
ployed to gain their ends." From this bald
truism I dq not•dissent, while I repudiate the
idea that the Academy or its board of trustees
ever desired that wrong should be done di
rectly or indirectly for any puipose whatever.
And I 'also deny .that "the city property
at Broad and At arketstreets has been sought to
be taken from the people," in the sense
this language Is meant to imply, •namely,
without any consideration whatever being
given to'the people in exchange. I sincerely,
believe that more than an equivalent was
offered for the use of the property. I can
only regret that the editor of the Sunday
Dispatch does not concur` in this view, but per
tinaciously maintains that, because I honestly
differ with, bin" in opinion on this point, all
who.think with me are ready to plunder awl
rob the city of its property. Yet, as long as
the city pFoperty is guarded by a suspicious
spirit so vigilant that a remote whisper pro
vokes a,waxning snarl, the editor of the Sun
day Dispatch may rest satisfied it fs entirely
safe. even 'from combinations of men more
cunningly corrupt than he sincerely suspects
those to be leho simply proposed the appro
priation of certain city lots to what they 'be

Complying with the ordinance of Councils
which temporarily restricts the use of wash
pavement-pipes, passed September 28th, 1869,
I take pleasure in thus giving notice that the
supply of water is now sufficient to allow all
reasonable use of these fixtures.
Advantage is taken of this opportunity to
expresS gratification at the manner in which
the majority of our citizens acceded to the
necessity of economy in the use of water dur
ing the recent drought.
The untiring eflbrtfi of the Department to
prevent positive failure of the supply would
not have availed, but for the aid thus afforded
_by our well disposed_citizens. •

StartlingEt' clierience of a Michigan
Balloonist.
- , (From tho - Eltg(7lllH EnterpriEu. October 14.1
The late balloon ascension from Bay City, on
Tuesday afternoon, was perhaps one 'of the
most dangerous exploits ever accomplished by
an aeronaut. The balloon was filled before
starting to its utmost tension, but, owing to re
cent repairs, leaked badly, so that after one or
two unsuccessful attempts Mr. Headley, who
was to have accompanied Prof. La Mountain,
was obliged to get out of the car. Mr. Headley
Lad the eatables, instruments of observation
and tissue paper used to ascertain the ascending
And descending force .of the balloon, so in step
ping out of the car, or basket, and before he
could transfer the articles named, those who
Head' hold "of the car let go, and the balloon
shot up with a rapidity that carried it to an
altitude of two miles within a few minutes. A
perfect gale of wind was blowing at the time,
and a moment alter rain and sleet com
menced falling. The balloon was still ascend
ing when halt to sight in a Cloud. Professor
La Mountain, in. - relating his experience, says
it became all at once intensely cold. The cloud
he entered was one swimming mass of snow
flakes, interspersed with rain, which formed a
frost-work on the car and netting of the bal
loon. The-cloud with the snow-flakes form- •
ing and flying hither and thither had, as he ex
pressed it, the appearance of a cloud of Steam
through which the sight could not penetrate.
The earth was lost to view. By tearing up his
handkerchief, and throwing out shreds, he be
came conscious that he was passing upwards
with wonderful rapidity, and along with the
current of the air eastward towards the lake.
Nothing ' was discernible but , the thick
ening mist, and overhead his hal- '
loon, which, as the air became. lighter,
had expanded the thin cloth covering to its
utmost strength. Fearful that he might be
carried Into the lake, and without a' pound of
ballast to regulate his descent, he seized the_
valve rope with the intention of lowering Min
self , gradually. To ;his surprise, ..the valve
would net Open. ' The' rain and' steetticcuinu
-1 lating on tbelopof the hallo= had frozen the
valve so tight as to resist the pressure from be
i low rtitting his whole strength to the task,
' he gave a strong pull on the rope, pulling out
thedron staples attaching the rope to the valve,
the rope falling down into the car. The bal
loon was mounting up faster than ever. It
bad passed the storm cloud, . which was a - mile
below, and.the beavens_aboVe. were as ,clear,
and the sun shining: as brightly, - a,,44 :at 'mid
day in June. But, the air was veep} cohj-and
La Mountain was benumbed: iut litthaime
was lost in speCulation. •He bad attained a'
height of over three miles. The balloon could
not burst, for when the expansion became too
',great, the gas could escape froth the flue. or
valve below, Which was open ; huthe was fear:-
ul Of being carried into or over the lake with
