The two, first sometimes, like original sin of Adam, and Dogberry's read ing and wiiting, come by nature. The first, I believe, always does to a woman. The last is, as I said, a saving grace—the gift of Hermes —one of the " sweet influences" of the " pre fitable Hermes."

After informing . you• that, I am a partner in the piano and mane husinead .with My. brother 'Victor , Prealle,, and that here, in Rio, I believe myself to haVe been him! friend," 'as he chose me to attend 'to ' all his business affairs, have to inform you thati since the 18th inst. we have been deprived of a dear friend. i Gottschalk died on that morn ing, of a serious illness,. that prostrated Idea since the 25th November.. As you are aware, Gottschalk has been here since hifay 10th. On the 3d of June ho ' was taken sick for the first time, but perfortned on that evening, and held himself responsible to ' the public until the- sth of August, when he was compelled to take tolls bed with an at.! tack ofyellow fever. .After fourteen days he, luau) far recovered as to be able to make short trips into the interior—naturally, of cotirse, to recuperate, but also a few, concerto for Which he was wan pledged. • On Sep tember 11th he had again returned to Rio, continued his concertsiand among others gave those (on the, evenitigspf. October.; 6th, Btb • and 11th), ad which sixteen pianos were used; after which he ; began the work of the festival. During these herculean labors, he gave three charity concerts ton the 12th, 15th and 113th of November), and on the '24th gave the first festival with six hundred and fifty musicians. The house had been corn: pletely bought up at double rates, and every thing succeeded to a charm. On the morning of the loth the second concert was advertised to take place the following evening, at the usual prices. The seats for this oc casi on were all sold on the day of the announcement, and quite a number of boxes engaged at the same time for the thirst festival concert. Buten the 26th he was taken seriously ill, and remained abed. -Not wishing to disappoint the,public, when evening bad come r 'it ,took lus iron well to order a carriage to take him to the theatre ;tint when there, he was compelled to notify the audience of his inability to proceed with the concert after the performance of a comedietta. Arrived at home.he was put into the care of one of our best physicians ' who proved himself a devoted friend. , Gottschalk complained of terrible pains in the abdomen, and his screams were often such that they attracted the notice of the people in the streets. • ' •' On the 2d of December, at his own, tOivest, asecond Rhysician VAS cf9le4 id; hitt,not wifOsialueng rite test'xititstiig Anti most skill ful medical aid the remedies applied effected no relief. On December Bth he was induced to have himself conveyed to Tijuca, aplateau, two or three miles distant, where the change of air promised much ; and there really seemed to be season for hope when we had got him thither. On the 14th inst. an internal abscess broke, affording sonic relief, but lie had be ' come so weak that on the morning of the 18th, at 4 o'clock, with all his senses intact; he yielded up the ghost! On the same clay his remains were brought back to the city by order of the Philharmoritea, of which Society he was an • honorary member, and de posited in their hail, where, oft the 25th No vember,he touched a key for the last time. At the Soeiety's expense the body was enibalmed on the evening of his death. • ' On Sunday, the 19th,'at 430 , P. M., we 'de posited the remains in a temporary resting place, to which we carried them at least half way. 1 can assure you that.' never witnessed so impressive a funeral. Notonly were there thousandS'of Women and Children bathed in tears, but it was truly heartrending to See the teats and hear the sobs of strong men. • More than a hundred carriages followed the cortege. In all the years I have lived in Rio, belie foreigner or countryman, the death of no man Produced so much lamentation as that of the not-to-be-excelled artist, Gottschalk. .He himself, while living' though we showed eon giant proofs, never dreamed that ,he was 'se loved and honored here; and even to-day, the sixth after his death, the only talk of this city of 400,000 inhabitants 'is about the deplorable loss. . • More than once be.requested me to write to you, but the request met with no compliance, because I could mot believe that he was on his death-bed. On- December 2, when he felt so badly,' he" asked me to write to you and - his sisters about' poor leiritiin, who proved him self an example of such faithfulness as is sel dom met with. In his last sickness, as in,the former, he k. remained by his 'side day and night, and Gottschalk's own words wore: " D ites licit (you) qu'une mere ne pact soigner , mienx son elifuntque lui in' 4 so igni." Oh the last n i ght . Gottschalk dictated a doc ument, witnessed by Dr. Severiano and a Mr. Moreau, which may prove of great import ance, and is in , Firmin's possession. If it be necessary to say a good word in Firmin's be half, it is tendered here, with the best con science in the world. 'saw Gottschalk daily, and know how he treasured him.

Milford,,one who ap pears to be a very trustworthy man, and who will do all he can for the benefit of those in It ought to be known whether his family, or perhaps New York will claim Gottsehalk's remains, either of which will doubtless be the ease, and for that reason the body was em bahned by his friends. Should it prove other wise, however, his friends will build a mauso leuni in.the church-yard of Rio. On the day of the funeral, Baron de Vargeau Alegre, into i whose family I had the pleasure of ntro dacing Gottechalk,and at whose country-seat whole days of his time were pleasantly spent, placed at the disposal of those having the funeral in charge the family burial vault for the deposition of the the; ; but the laws of our country forbade the acceptance of this hospitality to the dead, so well shown to the living, and so thhvemains lie in , the chapel of the church until some decision shall be ar rived at w to where the , Testing-place wull"6e. , „ One word about the physician.
