I Komh, October-:22,- IffOiXr—Last evening 1 .was present at the reading of Buchanan Bead's very tine Ode on the Bogers Lincoln Monument. The poet himself recited the poem to a small audience assembled at liis friend MocpherNon’s. \ Macpherson is the well-known artist photo grapher, whoso superb pictures of Roman buildings and landscapes are so popular among -Americans. lie is the grandson or great nephew of the famous “ Ossian” Mac pherson, and his wife is the niece of Mrs. Jameson. She is that “ youngrelatl ve”. of whom Mrs. Jameson speaks in one of her prefaces ns having given valuable assistance in the preparation of those excellent works, which are veritable liand-books to the art student in Europe. Mrs. Macpherson is also the able Roman correspondent of the New Vork World. During tlip reading I looked around on the little gronp, and wished it could be photo graphed then and there, it was an extremely interesting scene. There were Freeman and liis gifted wife; Ives, Inman, and the sculptor himself, Randolph Bogers, wlio.se noble statue has inspired a poem" which we all think is a* fit companion to the monument. We were in a very cosy English-looking parlor. The circle was as home-like as possi bie. In one corner a hat-water urn was buz zing cosily over a dying-out spirit lamp, and cups of tile beverage which “dicers but not, inebriates” had just been enjoyed by us. Some of the ladies, wives of the artists, were grouped comfortably around a table with their hands engaged in fancy work, busily occupied in preparing for a fair, which they get up for the benefit of the poor every year. The poet read his Ode with fine expression, which was heightened ,by the generous ap plause and clever pointing which his artist friends gave. It was, indeed, a group fit for a picture. I noticed each one during the read ing with great satisfaction. Inman’s hand some face was fairly aglow. My eyes went from one to another, and while the poet told us in grand full verse of the gradual building up of a great heroic monument, my fancy was busy in making one of those pictures which are never painted. In it was Freeman's pic ture,sijue face and head, whose silky white hair is more beautiful than any chestnut or blown; tves, who, notwithstanding his poetic Pandora, fine statues and basts and admitted talent, looks much more like a prosperous Bank Director than an artist; Bogers and Macpherson, great sturdy men, whose striking appearance would cause a stranger to look after them in the street, and feel sure they hail either made a history or belonged to one; aud the poet himself, small, delicate and sensitive as a woman, liis face lighted up with the pleasing and healthy excitement caused by the gene rous applause of friends whose appreciation is lame. Then there were handsome as well as clever women to grace my picture, and ; some of the women were both clever and handsome. It was truly a. scene well worth recording, if only in my poor words. In the morning I had heard an account of “Liszt’s Wednesdays,” and I thought we might well call this “Bead’s Evening.” It was Boccacciui, a clever young artist and professor who lives in Borne, that gave me the delightful account yesterday morning of “Les Mercredis chez Liszt.” It is not known generally that this famous musical Abbe lias around bim in Borne a group of disciples. These are each and all artists who have com pleted their studies as pupils; some of them have made a piark either in society or public. Boccaccini studied in Bologna under Golinelli, and has already a clever reputation as a tocher, although only 24. Sgamhati, of whom I have often spoken in these letters, is the ac knowledged head of the Liszt troupe; he is regarded in Germany as one of the best Baeliists living. These are fair specimens of the musical Wednesday set. Liszt will not give lessons to auy one. The Boman Princesses have besought him in vain. But on Wednesdays,whenever he is in Borne, lie assembles around him tills little band of ih tists, and freely and generously gives them that instruction and counsel which he refuses -to the mere amateur. I 'During the afternoon two or three'of. the artists play, each one a piece,—the following Wednesday two or three others, and so on in rotation. Tlte.se must be pieces of difiieulty, such atj would be played in public. The artist plays his selection first. Liszt listens with careful attention ; his patience Is remarkable; and when opportunity gives him a chance, he applauds with generous zeal. After the piece' is finished, Liszt plays the same; then the artist repeats it, in order to show how he has caught the master’s meaning. If -in the repe tition he has not seized entirely- on tlie proper rendering, Liszt says; “We will hear that next Wednesday.” But he will never have the same pieco re peated on a third Wednesday. No audience is admitted on these days. This is a point on which Liszt is • inflexible. Boccaccini has attended these Wednesdays for nearly, three years, and in that time he says Liszt has refused the most powerful persuasions. “No,” he will say, “it is not aeoucert; itds a study.” “And,” added : Boccaccini; very cleverly,- “I'oii.s fmjez, Liszt is our audience ; he repre sents the public: and a public of the highest order.” —■ ; Ono of the most interesting members of this little set of artists is a youth named Camiilo Gnicci. He gives the greatest promise. Liszt expects wonders of this boy. He is the son of an Italian literary man, and poet, who, during his lite, possessed considerable local reputation. Liszt mot the hoy here in Borne, and was iavorably impressed’ with, his re markable musical ability. Gnicci pereleft no other fortune than that of genius to his son. But the youth has two pater nal aunts living somewhere over on the Adri atic shores, who are very rich. To these Liszt wrote, and asked them to allow- their gifted nephew fifty soudi a month,until he completed his musical education— engagingtosuperintend the boy and his studies. They instantly con sented, and Liszt, las.t January, when he went to Weimar, took the- hoy with him,, and left , him at Munich under the care aud tuition of 'i'rraai'u't-T. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1869. his son-in-law, Von Bulow, who was at tha time the director of the Conservatoire in that city. But this summer, when Eiszt went to M much, and found that Von Bulow had left, as Guicci was without direction, he brought the lad back to Itomo. The young lad is now j studying the piano with Sgambati; and har mony with Mililotti. ’ On Wednesday Eiszt allows Guicci to De present at the artists’ study; and when his own turn comes, Boccaccini says, the hoy al ways earns his position and right of presence. East Wednesday. Guicci gave great satisfac tion to Liszt.'' "He played an Elude of Hensel; tho third or fifth, I forget which—at all events, it is the one tliat is headed with this couplet: “Pensate un poco a me Che’ io penso sempre a voi,” * and in it the melody is carried op with the third and fourth finger. Guicci is about seven teen or eighteen, but he is under size even for that ago: his hands are remarkably small and his fingers very short. But notwithstanding this physical deficiency, the little hands do wonders, and on the occasion I speak of the third and fourth fingers executed their duty bravely, and nailed down the melody in the centro of the running passages with clear, hold precision. f ‘Bravo! Bravo!” cried Eiszt, with that noble enthusiasm which is his characteristic, and which is so fascinating. ‘ 1 Voycz vous, Messieurs! How well he does that! Bravo!” The tittle follow played on with renewed fire and expression. I have no doubt his boy heart was ready to burst with pride and joy, but he never lost his head for an instant, and alter the piece was finished received, the I caresses of Eiszt asayoung Prince Imperial might the commendations of his Emperor. Eiszt is adored by these young men who are collected around him, and deservedly so. The high, generous tone he gives them is very per ceptible, especially when they speak of each other. They all treat their Art as an Art, and not as a trade; and, like their chief, they are ready to help, not only each other, but also I outsiders and unknown aspirants. 1 I have just read - a letter written by Miss I Cushman iri her own hand, which rs a very I gratifying sight to us after, the keemanxiety we have been enduring the past two months on f her account. It is dated from Edinburgh. She writes: “I am, thank God, able to drive out an hour each day in the sun, which feels very grateful to me—each day since I have had permission. I am gradually picking tip under the Influence of the air, tyom wliicli 1 have been shut out for eight weeks—and eight weeks of such suffering:” • .. .. : The letter goes on to say that some time during the winter she hopes to be able to re turn to her home in Home, but not until rather late in the season, she fears, as Sir James Simpson will not allow her to leave until'it shall be entirely prudent for her to undertake the journey. ; Jam sorry to say, however, that Miss Steb bins has been quite ill. She was with Miss Cushman during all her cruel sufl'ering, and, of course, after the worst was over, Miss Stebbins’s nervous system was completely prostrated. She is now, however, much bet ter, and before many weeks we hope to be able to welcome both back to Miss Cushman’s j hospitable and handsome home in the Via Gregoriana. The Ex-King Ferdinand 11. of Maples and his Queen arrived in Kome Wednesday. They came from Marseilles to Civita Veeclua in the Austrian imperial yacht Griffon. During their absence they have traveled under, the names of the Dukeand Dnclress-de Castro. I have heard lately the surprising news that the Archbishop of Paris intends to come to the Council. He has written requesting to have apartments taken for him and his suite Probably he is coming to look after that Car dinal’s hat, which seems to hare been held in abeyance a long while—a longer while than has suited his Lordship. The various foreign ministers, De lianne ville, De TraUttmansdorff, d’Arnim, &c\, are expected daily. De DucluUel, the Holland representative, has just arrived, and I was told last evening that our own Consul was in Home. I passed by the Consulate yesterday, and repeated the wish that every American makes—that a ■ better representation of the American arms could be placed over the door. The spread eagle looks more like the broiled chicken that goes, by that name in Pennsyl- vania country inns than the noble bird which is'bur emblem'.-' It is a wretched representa- tion, and one that is laughed at by Romans anil every American feels ashamed of. •The Rev. Mr. Mitchell called on me the other evening.’ This gentleman -was originally from Philadelphia, but has been Superinten dent ol' Missions, I believe, for some years in ■Wisconsin. He leaves Rome in a few davs. Liszt leaves Rome,on Sunday to pay a visit to liis friend Cardinal Holienloe, at that charming Villa d’Este, near Tivoli. He will remain there until the first of the year, re- turning to Rome for a few days from time to tinifv dm January he goes to.Cermariy. Tlii.k afternoon his usual reception-day for liis friends will be unusually crowded, as it is a fete or anniversary day of his. Bouquets and baskets of flowers, arranged in the exquisite Roman manner, will, of course, make a great show on tho occasion, for every one will wish to present their congratulations in that most beautiful form. We are looking forward to a great treat in the visit. [For tlio Philadelphia Evening llnlletin.J Tbe Late at the Pennsylvania Hospital. “Truth is mighty and must prevail,” aud a righteous cause must carry within its own or ganization tlxe elements of a vitality that can not he, crushed out. Yet it is always pleasant to those who are pioneers in a new movement to feel that they have the sympathy of those who are rather to be considered as “out fjiders” than of them ; and it must be very gratifying to the women wliq were made the subjects of such base treatment last Saturday, at the Pennsylvania Hospital, to witness the tho position assumed by the universal press, without one dissenting voice of 'different ex pression of opinion. So far as the statements go, : everything has been strictly accurate •'but the reports are all deticient, in that they only de tail the treatment received after leaving the hospital- But this was only the last of a series of insults too gross to bo believed had they not'been witnessed. W When the ladies entered the amphitheatre they were greeted by veils, hisses, “cjtt-or wnulings,” meek applause, offensive re marks . upon personal , appear ance., etc.' AVlien the uproar seemed .to be at its vCfjf height Wm. OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. Mr. J. H. Beadle, editor of the Utah Re porter,who,white attehding the Probate Court (Mormon) at Brigham City, about live miles from Corinne, was so badly beaten by the Mormons that his life is despaired of, first visited Utah about two years ago as cor respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial. His early impressions of the Mormon institu tion were favorable, and he so expressed him self in his letters. Longer residence there, however, and a closer-insight into Mormon ism convinced him that the whole system was a mass of corruption, and he immediately changed the tone pt his correspondence. At that time tlje Salt Lake Reporter, which had been reconstructed from the wreck of the Videlte, was in its infancy. Mr. Beadle was invited to become its editor. He accepted tho position and took hold of the paper with an energy which showed, his determination to make it a first-class “Gentile" paper. Last spring the Reporter was removed to Corinne ' (a “Gentile” town on the line of tho Union Pacific Bailroad) and 'its name changed to the Utah Reporter. . Dr. Bea dle's editorials were - free from all scur rilous abuse-Of the Mormons; terse and for cible; written in a clear, argumentative stylo, very damaging to Mormonism. For this of fence he has been added to the roil of Utah victims with Brassfteld; Dr.. Itobinson; tho sufferers.at the Mountain Meadow massacre, and a host of others. Within the very portals of a Mormon court of justice the editor of the i Reporter was battered- and bruised. 'Mr. Beadle has no redress in case ho should sur vive, for there is no known romedv which the ourts can enforce against Morhious who have c Anxe .Brewster. ; Biddle appeared, accompanied by one of his colleagues, mid informed these rowdies that' I lie camo in behalf of the managers to say that the ladies were there by and' with: their, consent, and , they should be .protected from insult: and any man detected m any of this insulting and up roarious behavior should have his ticket with-; drawn. When they began to hiss, he calmly: said:'*Oh! /don’t care for your hisses.” He begged them to remember their .characters as genilcmen, and assured them it was only on such a consideration that they were admitted. He then told them that he would stay to see how they behaved, and the two gentlemen seated themselves. For the first hour there was the semblance of order. *Dr. Da, Costa appeared before the class and was greeted by a neartyand unanimous applause, and. then proceeded with his duties. His manner was marked by refinement and true manly no bility, although he was evidently embarrassed by the novelty of his position. He was succeeded by Dr. Hunt, whose con sciousness was manifested in a less reserved and reticent manner. It was very evident that other thoughts were in bis mind than those suggested by the relation of master and student. .Let me detail one of the incidents of the hour, which, though not decidedly offen sive, evidently was intended to make sport of the ladies. A patient was before the class whose sight had been greatly impaired by Some accident at the mines. Desiring to test his improvement since the last day, . Dr. Hunt said: “What can you see to-day 7” . Turning his face towards tliatpartof tne building where the ladies were seated, he said, “What do you see now?” “Patrick,” said the man, referring to one of the attendants who stood near. Said the Professor, “Look up! look higher, and tell me what you see.” The man strained his almost sightless eye-halls, and replied, “Light! 1 see light!” and nothiugmore would he acknow ledge. Was there a signification in that blind man’s words? Was not Unlit dawning upon bigotry and oppression when women were even t/ms allowed to avail themselves of an opportunity for acquiring knowledge that they would dispense for the alleviation of suffering humanity? During this last hour various rude manifes tations were made—missiles of paper, tin-foil, tobacco-quids, etc., were thrown upon the ladies, while some of these men (?) defiled the dresses of the ladies near them by spirting tobacco-juice upon them. It is but jyist to the ladies to say they main tained a quiet, modest demeanor, and seemed to realize their dignity as women and their position as scientific students. It is quite evident from tlieir -general appearance that none of them had Siver been accustomed to the association of such unmannerly men (?) before. . \ There were a few men who seemed morti fied and chagrined at the phase of affairs; hut they could do nothing against the rabble. It is to be hoped that this narrow-minded policy will have died a natural death before next Saturday, and that each man will remember his own mother or sister* before he joins in in sulting women ot virtue and intelligence. BBOWSLOW AM) AXDKEW JOHVSO.V _ Brownlow Declines to Die. A Knoxville correspondent of the Cin cinnati Gazette tells the following anecdote of Senator Brownlow: Many are the anecdotes, ■ comical, tragic and interesting, authentic and fabricated, that have been told of Parson- Governor-Senator Brownlow. Seldom, how ever,, have I heard of a more characteristic utterance than one to which he yesterday gave vent. I had called in -with some “Bosting’ men who had wandered thus far from the Hub and were looking around with a view to invest ing §200,000 or §300,000 in the business of con verting the oak bark of our almost boundless mountain and ridge forests into greenbacks and tannin. A portion of their number had heard Brownlow during his memorable tour in following Andy round the circle, and all were anxious to make him a call before leav ing the city. Ushered unceremoniously into the little bedroom and study, where the Senator receives alike special and political visitors, we found him reclining, with that trembling of the hands amt husky half whispered voice which persuades a stranger that he cannot possibly live much longer, But which others know is, now, as in the past, con sistent with a large stock of remaining vitality. Naturally enough, the conversation turned on Johnson's recent defeat in the Senatorial con- test, and the prospect of his ever againgetting a start upward in the political race. This, of course, suggested the often-repeated idea that his only chance lay in a Senatorial vacancy to be caused by Browulow’s death. Here' the old gentleman’s face lit. up with an expression of half-playful determination as he remarked in an .earnest half whisper: “Yes, Johnson and Etheridge have administered on my politi cal estate, and cast lots for my garment, but,” he added with a grim smile, “ I ain’t going to die I Andy may rest assured that, so far as the will and intentions of the present incumbent are concerned, he will wait in vain for a va cancy. I commenced dying slowly in 1805, (the year of his birth), and have been dying ever since.” Tennessee politicians will remember the Brownlow-Etheridge race of two years ago, when Brownlow’s ill-liealth was so constantly exaggerated by his political foes, that Repub lican orators found it necessary to warn their hearers to pay no attention to reports of his death, which might he circulated oh the eve of election. Senator B. took evident pride in ' referring to his prediction ofsome weeks ago, of which mention was made at the time, as to the defeat of Johnson. He at the time predicted the election of Edmund Cooper, brother of the successful aspirant. In this he was certainly nearer the truth thanmost politicians of either party. He has, however, missed it widely as to his.prediction of the Ratification of tho Fif teenth Amendment, as it is now conceded that onr present legislators will reject the Amendment by a very large vote. The Sena toy thinks Aiidy will seek to he a delegate to the proposed constitutional convention, but regards it by no means certain that he can se cure liia election. Indeed, he said lie did not think-he could be again elected as alderman of Greenville. THE MORMON TROURE.ES.

A. military Governor and; martial Jaw are the only means by which the perpetrators of these outrages can be brought io justice., ; ART ITEMS, I —The'Directors of the Academy of Fine I Arts, at their meeting last Monday, passed an' j appropriation of five hundred dojlars for the Percljase of the autotypo carbon pictures, of Which Mr. O. F. Haseftine is the sole Arncri can proprietor. These autotype copies arei IfaMsimdes ot drawings and paintings by the old masters, taken in photography, and printed by the carbon process, which is believed to bo exempt from the chemical changes of light I and nine. The enterprise is, of course, a French one. Mr. Haseltine’s books of mere samples alone embrace about; five thousand separate pictures, taken Irom the principal collections and mwees' ol Europe. Tho sum at present dedicated by i our Academy will only command-a selection from these valuable works, but it will give its a fair representation from the principal schools! I of art. Prof. Schuessele has entered enthusi astically into the task of culling outtheindis-; I pensahles from a collection rich in magnificent curiosities. The sheets will he placedmfolios I accessible to the students, while it is probable that some of tip: more popular will be framed for public examination. This set of copies is beyond all comparison the fullest everamassed m one place m America. It is a misfor tune that Philadelphia, whither the collec-' tion is brought in its entirety, could not secure .the collection all together; it is too valuable for the resources of the Academy, hut the generosity ot some Of our wealthy j connoisseurs should make up the deficiency; it seems a pity, while we have a chance of possession, to lose the least line from the hand of Michael Angelo or Raphael. The School of Design should also he endowed with a se lection from these works. Their significance and history we hope to find time to expatiate on shortly. Other institutions are awakening to the importance_of possessing, in this cheap form, the authentic .designs of the old masters. The Corcoran Gallery of Washington is ex pected to secure the complete collection; and the New York Academyand Boston Athen tetim oughtto possesssets as amatter of course. —The Academy has consented to dedicate one of its up-stairs rooms to the important purpose of polychrome study from life models. The cellars previously used being only illu minahle. by gas, are suitable for black-and white designs alone, and are besides unventi lated and Bad for the students’ health. Prof. Schuessele has lone desired the opportunity of conducting a painting-class from the draped living model, but the want of a suitable room lias hampered his intentions. The south-east gallery will now he emptied for this purpose of its treasures—Wittkamp’s large picture of the Inhumanity of the Duke of Giieldcrs. and the Bolen collection, which comprises a tine Calame. , r-Mr.J. Gillingham Fell’s gift to the Aca demy of a group of sculpture by Hosier, has arrived, and was set up intliesonth-westroom I last week. It represents the reconciliation of I the Prodigal Son with his father. The figures are life size, and are carved in fine white Italian marble! The father, the embodiment I of a modern Syrian Jew, wears the turban, tho fine-ribbed kaftan, and an outer robe; he I embraces his son, who hears no family resem- I blance to himself, and who is simply girded I and provided with a gourd for the jour ney; the symbol ol his degraded occupation, the herdsman’s crook,* is in his hand. He is weeping on his father's breast, in an attitudo I intended to express abandon and repent- I ance. Joseph Mozier, the sculptor, was, I until 1845, an active Broad street merchant, sof New York. In that year, at the rather mature age of thirty-two, [ he estahlished himself as a sculptor in Borne, where hejs in the enjoyment of considerable pecuniary success, due to his agreeable rela tions with the tide of tourist society constantly flowing through that city. —T. Henry Smith just completed, and ex- 1 hibited in Haseltiiie’s window, his best effort' i hitherto, in aportraiture of Mr. Joseph Mar- : rison, whose intelligent patronage has done i so much to raise the standard of Philadelphia I I art. The painting is a sober and deliberate ! Eiece of hard to ork. Every inch of its success | as been fought for, -Mr. Harrison’s pictuv- I esque olive face, with its brilliant and pene trating eyes, broad forehead, and crown of sable silvered, is there to the life. The ex pression is weighty and intelligent Us that of | one of Rembrandt's syndics, while as for mod- J eling, rotundity and relief, tho artistic critic finds little to desire. The color is very re- ! served, as in all Mr. Smith’s productions, but i considered as a drawiug the picture is truly excellent. ■ | —ln Earles’window much attention is at- I | tracted by a hfe-size three-quarters length por- : trait of the late Mr. Peabody. It is an Eng- ! lish pieco of painting, taken from photo- ! graphs if we may judge from the style, and 1 exhibits the quaint piece of taste of showing j in the hand a letter legibly addressed to tho ; owner of the canvas. j —Bailly is modeling a most life-like sqnare i bust of the late John W. Claghora. He will' sodn undertake a life-size sitting figure of Mr,, \V, F. H , a prominent president and bus iness man of this'city, to be cast in bronze. His colossal soldier for Springfield, Ohio, has been successfully cast by Henri 11. Lovio, of this city, and is now being cliased and fin ished. Pliilapelphia has not done much for her own sculptor in the way of subscriptions for the equestrian statue of Grant, to decor ate the Treasury Building; she is letting Washington and New York exceed her in ! liberality, \/hich is not very creditable. Mr. ! Bailly, however, considers that he has the | promise of funds enough to warrant him in 1 preparing the colossal model, which will be a matter of expense and effort. The prepara tion and exhibition of such a model will doubtless give an impetus to tho subscription for the work, for which the arcliitect is already modifying the portico and grounds of the Treasury "Department. I —Howard Helmick, one of our best t/enre painters residing at Paris, has just now three gems on exhibition at Haseltine’s Galleries. The largest is a medieval motif, and is called “The Evil Eye.” On a wintry day,, in a street of old Paris,a poor ancient man i.s entering his house. The furtive look of alarm or prudence which ho easts around him is evil interpreted by the superstitious neighbors; a woman, hold ing a baby, turns hastily round, with a well interpreted sudden motion, to shelter lior in fant from the ill-boding glance; a young man, her husband, probably, stoops to pick up a stone. Another pieturg, tolling a sim pler story equally well, is entitled “The First Tooth.” A proud young mother, in tho artisanne costume of a French village, shows, her naked infant to the old grandfather, as she rubs the gums of the unconscious child. <Tho old man, who i.s evi dently entering the condition of dental bank- rnp'tcy from which baby is emerging,'looks up ■with the wise expression of .senility. The heart of the baby is particularly-good, like a minia ture Bourguereau, but the body is unfinished. This picture is sold. “The Proposal,'’ a beau,' tiful subject iu a style wo should like to see Mr. Helmick repeat oftener, is still on exhibi tion ; we kaVo previously described this deli , cate ballad-picture. WMilne Ramsey has just returned to his Paris studio.' A pair of large still-life subjects by him, ccnu representing: a and tho .other “After JDessert,”—(wine, cigars, &o.>~ have just been sold and framed by Mr. Masel tine, and show the utmost richness of his Breuch mariner, Another couple, painted here during his visit, delineate the common assemblage of wine-glasses and grapes, and are painted in that minute style, necessarily afl'eeting the color, which Philadelphia taste seems to demand, but which is palpably In ferior to his more liberal and sumptuous brushing executed in the I'ue i'auboul'g Wt.
