(Correspondence of the Phlhuielphis Evening Bulletin.i Roam, ITALY, Nov. 19,i869.—The other even ing; at One of these pleasant receptions which are giVen in Rome, and 'at which so many re markable persons are semi noticed, a striking looking man,who was not so handsome either, although twenty years ago he may have been. • This gentleman seemed to be about forty-five, middle size,neatly made in form, and slender; the head was large for the height; the face had a Hebrew outline of the most refined and in tellectual type; the features were delicately cut—altogether a face something like that in the. pictures of Charles Lamb. But the eyes and great breadth of brow gave the peculiar and remarkable appearance which had at tracted my attention. 1 turned to a pleasant English lady near me and asked: "Be so good as to Whim who that person is near the ante-room door, who looks as if he might serve as a society model for a Melmoth or Wandering Jew ?." " You may well say so That is Tar. Aros. TATE !" replied my acquaintance of the mo ment, whom I foumd to be—although subject of lier Britannic Majesty,the Defender of the English Faith—" more Papalliim than the Pope," as they say of idtramontanes in Italy. " Come now—that is delightful !" I ex claimed. "It is not often one is so lucky in random hits at penetration. Pray, tell me who is Tim APOSTATE?" " Hemans !" she groaned out, in a low voice. ." Oh! still more charming!" I said. "The very person I have been Wishing to meet ever since I came to Rome. He has been living in Florence the last year, I was told, but I see he has returned. Now I shall know him." hope," said my companion, eagerly, "they may not present him to you now, for of all men in the world—" Just at that instant a friend cone tome, ac companied by the subject of our remarks, and said : " You have so often expressed a wish to meet Mr. liemans that I take great pleasure," &c., &c. I heard My - English acquaintance utter a low moan of distress, as she saw me turn from her and enter eagerly into my new ane dangerous acquaintanceship. • Mr. Hemans is very well known to the literary world, for two reasons. He is the sou of Felicia Leman, the poetess, wlm char Med all the young women in England and. America forty years ago, and be is himself an author .1 very valuable works on Rome and 3ledheral Art. Several years ago, Mr. Heizians chose to become a Catholic, and I have no doubt there were many of his Protestant brothers and ststers,more zealous than charitable,wh9 gave him, at that time, the same unkind title the English Catholic lady bestowed on him. , A few ”ars after, 'Mr. Hemana saw fit to change his mind again, and return to the faith of his forefathers. In these days we are so liberal that such spiritual ground-and-lofty tnmblings are for the most part passed by un regarded. Luckily, we can do as we please in this matter of faith. There are no more Auto da F(2S, no more burning of, Quakers by Puri tans. A man can announce himself Turk, Mormon, Jew, or Christian, and if he does it for a sensation he finds himselfsadly mistaken, for no one notices him or his doings, except a few fireside zealots, who would like to put him over their coals, and do roast him with harmless fire. This is not the place to discuss whether this state of public feeling is right or wrong, and whether it should be called indif ference or Christian charity. I simply state a fact. Mr. Hemans' changes of religious base, I fancy, have arisen from a speculative turn of mind, and also from a certain impatience of temperament, which resents 'Mental controL On talking with him, I found that the roman tic 3lelmoth, Fallen Angel look disappeared. He is a little pose and precise, extremeligen tlemanly—old-fashioned, indeed, in his defer ential manner. I, of course, told him of his mother's poems always occupying one apron-pocket when I was a young girl, and of the instruction I had received from his books. With such an ap preciative beginning,what man would not suc cumb! So we . sailed off on what Jean Paul called "a high cool sea of conversation." I think I was inclined to be' a little more ex parisive than I should have been under other circumstances—a certain phartisaical feeling made me wish to edify my more zealous. English sister beside me: When I was safely embarked in my now social voyage, she rose from her seat, extended her band t 3 me, and bade me good evening, with an expression of pitying sorrow on her face that amused me greatly. On Sunday afternoon my servant brought me a card on which was engraved " Charles Isidore Beinans." I happened at the time to be reading bis new book " Medireval Chris tianity and Sacred Art in Italy," and went into the parlor. with it in my hand to show him bow far the leaves were cut. I had a pleasant -vi Sit froui him', during which ho told me of many hooka! valuable to me in My present course of study, and we compared notes on excellent works with which we are both familiar. Hemans amused me extremely by his constant and sharp little, grumbles against the Roman Censorship, and I fancied he felt somewhat disappointed that this new book of his had been allowed to Pass muster and to be sold,in Remo, and ho spoke with refreshing bitterness about 'a box containing several copies of one.of his works having been confis cated by ,the Roman Government lately. laughed; and said : "But why expose yourself to such' a thing ? I find it perfectly easy to get anything I want in the way of forbidden book f 4 rnit. ,Students such as we are can be allowed many licenses' which would be unwise to grant to the gen eral and idle reader." I told him of an incident which had lately occurred to one of my friends who is publishing book in Rome, and which proved that this question of censorship Is very readily man aged. If wo are willing to go through the proper private channels all difficulties disap pear. I saw plainly,however,that it was "the letter of the word" which troubled him. He OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. would worn to use Means Masters not open to MI tbe world : And in answer •to My story ho_ieplied with a Sigh and an expression of VOlO so . Very English , indeed! Yes! Hero in Remo law bows to iUterest and influence." ' over the world, my dear .Sir!" .I (m -et- med. "Laws aro only meant as outlines on ii very broad margin. Discreet persons. eau. always walk freely on the margin, if they please." Ileums looked as ifbo would rather starve ona emit in a dungeon for the bare principle sake:' Duringthe visit hd told me of the hitt' of St. Stanislaw.; Kostka,which was being held at that time in the church. of S. Andrea l al Quirinale—the church, by the way, which stands near the very spot on which was 1-torntilus' Temple of Quirinas. In a room of the sacristy of this church is a curious statue of St. Stanislaw, by the French artist Le Gros. It is made of various colored marbles. The young man is spread out on a couch and rep resented as dying. The head, face, hands and feet are of white marble, and so are the cush ions of the bed. The soutane or priest's gown is of black marble. A crucifix of ex quitAtely worked ivory,chaplet,branch of lilies and a medallion of the Virgin are in the hands. The covering of the bed is alabaster -and the Matrass is of giallo antico. Hemans advised me to go and see it—not as a'work of high art, although the execution of it is wonderfully fine—but •because it was 'ar ranged on that/etc day in a peculiarly effective manner, surrounded, by beautiful natural flowers, the Walls of the room hung with red silk damask, and the whole place brilliant with light. After the visit was over I took a." trap" off the Piazza di Spagna and drove to S. Andrea al Quirinale. But I had my labor for my painii. 4 man barred my entrance. No woman could enter without an express permission from the Cardinal Vicar. For a moment I felt as re bellious against the Holy Roman Church on .account of its uniform ungallantry to my sex as Hemans does because of the Roman Censor ship. But the well-known, universally admit ted, instinctive obediendiPof a woman's nature soon corrected all rebellion. I yielded submis sively, and left the Church, saying, " Allah is Allah and Mahotnet- is His Prophet." As I left the church I noticed a great crowd assembled at the (path° Fontane corner, which was a short distance off. There is a large public garden near that spot, just behind the Barberi ni Palace. GuSrds were stationed up and down the Street, and the object of pub lic curiosity was evidently 'in that garden. I found the crowd so dense that I could not work my way through it, and I went' down some narrow back streets,which led me out in front of the, Barberini Palace. Just as I reached the spot—the finest imaginable for the pretty iiight—a cry, of exultation brOke out from the gay Roman crowd, and a beautiful balloon rose up from the garden. There was a man in it who, as the balloon ascended, threw out colored sand-ballast, which looked blood-red in the afternoon stun. The balloon had around its middle a gay red-silk flounce— as we ladies Should call it—which fluttered in the wind very prettily as the balloon mounted. The ruddy-hued sand fell in little torrents through the clouds, bringing back to mind Elignorelli's fresco of Antichrist at the beautiful Orvieto Cathedral. The balloon swayed to and fro, caught bright lights here and there, then suddenly went off in a dark cloud, and was lost to sight. It made me feel a little sad to see it disap_ p ear sopnddenly,an d as I turned away I thought of a great and gifted man whose' soul passed out of sight the day before, and whose body was lying in the midst of his famous cartoons of the Holy Sacraments, in the very building opposite the Balloon Garden. Frederick John Overbeck, the celebrated painter, who gave to his art a sacerdotal dig nity, and whose cartoons are the most beauti ful homilies, died in Borne, last Saturday morning, aged eighty years. On Thursday he was drawing, occupied busily, and seemed as well as. usual. On Friday he was seized with a sudden and acute disease, and was so ill the Pope' gave him the Papal benediction. On Saturday it was all over, and the good and saintly artist passed silently away from life ! Last 'winter I used to, go very often to Over beck's galleries, and three times I enjoyed the delightful privilege of hearing frOM the great ' painter's own lips the explanation of the cele brated cartoons which hung upon the walls of his galleries. While I was walking Slow : 1y buck hone, down the Via del Tritone, and thinking sorrowfully that ; l should never have that rare pleasure againaii open carriage drove past me. I stopped and looked after it until, like the balloon, it also disappeared. The carriage had one occupant- 7 a lady,--neither young nor handsome, but with remains of fine looks, especially in the brow and su perb eyes. Her expression was - rather stern, it is true, and she might have served for a model of the Goddess Roma after a scuffle with the Garibaldians, I thought, as I saw how bold, upright, and severe she sat in the carriage. But the sight of her lifted me back many a long year, ,to the time when her influence took Mrs. Ileums out of my apron-pocket and placed a Shakespeare in my hands. AU the way home, in the beau tiful golden sunset, I thought of the lovely• young English woman, the right royal queen of a mimic kingdom, who turned the brains of Young arid old, gentle and simple, some thirty years ago,LlPansiy Kemble,—for she was the occupant of the carriage. .

An article appears in the Dubuque Times, written by a gentleman at Fort Dodge,lowa, which claims to throw light ou the Cardiff Giant. About the 6th of June, 1.81;8, two men registered their names at the St. Charles Ho tel, Fort Dodge, as Ceorge Hall, of Bing hampton, N. Y., and H. E. Martin, of Bos ton. For several weeks after movements of a suspicious character were noticed, anti they finally purchased au acre of .gypsum land from John ; McDermott, paying one hundred dollars. They built a shanty on the ground and employed men to open a gypsum quarry, for the purpose, as they said, te send a handsome piece to New York. They got out a large stone, dressed it, eleven, feet three inches in length and three feet two inches wide, and loaded it on a railroad car. The theory is that Hall and Martin took the stone to Chicago, where it was worked into a statue, thence to Bingliampton and thence to Newell's farm. The correspondent expresses the opinion that Colonel Wood, formerly of the Chicago Museum, is concerned in the giant, as he happened to be around just when they were digging up the giant. It is said that the man who carved the giant is now in Chi cago, but prefers to keep quiet. A New Loan Proposed. Illy Batmen's News Agency .
