through tbo long dark, galleries was vory -curious and beautiful—sometimes startling; for example, when wo came near the Hall of Statues the toreh-bcarer went a little in ad- Tance, and as we entered we saw the splendid cinerary nrn of oriental alabaster which stands tn front of the entranco all aglow with the light of the torch that was held behind it. This vase is of one large block of that costly alabaster called by the ancients ‘f honey” and by the moderns “quince” alabaster. It is a deep rich!yellow in color, and one spot, more opaque than the rest, seemed float ing in this semi-transparent fluid of such a gracious form. This vase is always cially interesting to me. It was found Tory near roy present residence in Rome, at-the corner pf the Piazza St. Carlos, in the Corse, opposite my street, Via della Croce. On that spot tho four sons of Germanicus were burned by order of their uncle Caligula. One of them, a hold, brave boy, only eighteen, stabbed him self as the seutence ordered him to do ; all he asked was how to strike himself so as to reach the heart quickly. This urn contained tho ashes of Livilla, the youngest daughter pf Germanicus, who was better dead than to have Bved to such shame as her sister Julia, Nero’s mother. The ashes of the good, but impru dent mother of these luckless children, the high-spirited Agrippina, were in an urn which was found near thip'oriental alabaster eneofthe Vatican. Agrippina’s is in the court of the palace of the Conservatori at the Capitol. 1- , ...... As a proof of the need for knowing the his tory of works of art, I will mention the foots belongingto the well-known popular Pudicitia, cr Modesty, of the Vatican. This is supposed to he a portrait statue of that remarkable wo man whose powerful influence controlled the destiny of the world at one time—Livia, the wife of Augustus and the intriguing mother of Siberina", There is an exquisite charm about the pose of the form in this statue which is captivating; but the commonplace head, its strange position, "which makes the shoulders seem deformed, and the 1 heavy, clumsy right hand, have always disturbed me. It was a. great relief to me to hear that these faults were not in.the original. The head and right hand are restorations, and the best critics now agree that the head was put on the body entirely wrong. The restorer misinterpreted lh« action of both the head and right hand, as well as making them as uninteresting as pos- and oht of keeping with . the rest of this lemarka'bly beautiful statue. I was sitting in front of this statue the other morning, reading Emile Braun’s remarks on it, and; by following his counsel,l have learned to divest myself of the offending parts and look at it as a portrait of this remarkable wo man. The form contains the fascination, and It pleased me as I looked at it—far enough off 10 lose sjgbt Pf Ike details pf fte face—l 9 im> hgine such a ihoveinent, such ah expression in hfe—shortowaisted and narrow-shouldered it is, hut so exquisitely graceful! The sculptor who modeled it knew all the defects in the form of the Empress, but he knew also the in dividual charms—that indescribable grace which some women possess who are not beau tiful, and yet, through movement and action, produce the effect of perfect beauty. "While l was enjoying all the illusion such a " quiet, thoughtful study of the statue could give me. two gentlemen came up before it. Both were Frenchmen; one a high clerical, •with purple stockings and a green and gold jwcchi on his episcopal hat; the other was some self-satisfied lawyer, or doc tor, or deputy, who did not need to go to books to know what his eyes could tell him. He was evidently a sort of oracle to the more modest bishop. •‘Voila!” he cri.ed; “this is charming! Look at it! What could be more perfect than the pose of that head! And that right hand— observe the modelling, so precise and so beau tiful! ODeforgots all the rest of the statue in the presence of such a face and hand!” He stfuck an attitude of ecstasy before it a few minutes, and then flew oti like a little robin to another statue. I observed that the gentle, handsome old Bishop looked a little perplexed, but ho was too modest to say any thing. I am sure he noticed the faults, and sadly thought the trouble lay in his Own de fective taste. I knew how to sympathize with him, for I had suffered years ago in the same way in the presence of “more compe tent critics.” The Torso is another curious work—or fragment, I should say—which is admired blindly by many who know nothing of its real, merits. The guide-books tell you that when Michael Angelo was old and blind he made his friends lead him to the Torso, that liejnight pass his hands over it. Thcreia very little left of this wonderful colossus some fine modelling in the front and more sheltered part of the body, but the hack and exposed -parts are sut so much rough marble. This is whatstrikes you at first; and, if like myself,„ypu_ have studied art from hooks and replicas for many years, and not from originals, you will feel at first discouraged. After a patient waiting, a caieful, quiet study—going again and again to it—the wondeiful points really existing show themselves to you ; you Bee the flue contours ©f the muscles under the arms; the superb de velopment of strength ; and then, when you recall that it is a fragment of a statue which was meant-to represent the fullest develop ment of Human Force, relieved from earthly toil, and earning, into possession of eternal youth (for this is what the mytli of Hercules espousing Hebe and sitting .at the table of the Gods means), the .wonderful fragment makes you understand better than any other work of ancient art what Pliny’s slon—“ marble renown”—was intended to convey. The night we visited the gallery by torch light, o.ne of my friends told me of a candid remark made hy a witty woman, who ex pressed her disappointment with courageous frankness; “The Torso, my dear! 1 shall never bo able to see what there is to admire in it. Why, it has neither head, hands, legs or feet! ” 1 was telling this to Rogers, the sculptor, whom I met at a dinner-party of Buchanan Bead’s, on Friday evening, and he gave me a \ capital pendant to my story, which ought to ' have Bogers’s droll way of relating it to pro duce full effect. But as you cannot have that, let it pass. A lady came to his studio the other day and very naively recounted her ex perience with the Torso. “We went in,” she said, “ to the Belvedere. The llrst thing, of course, we wished to see wasthcToTso. You must know we are not cultivated in art., To tell the truth, not one of ~ ns knew what ‘ Torso’ meant. If we liad seen photographs of it, which, of course, we had, It never had entered our heads what it really is. We bad read and been told that the Torso was something sublime, god-like ; and with it was connected a beautiful story of old Michael An gelo’s finding consolation for his dying fingers by resting them on its harmonious outlines. “So WO entered the Belvedere.and went the whole circuit. The Meleager, Mercury and Theseus, each in turn, were greeted and ad mired as the Torso,and our mistake discovered THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA. FRIDAY, Al’Hll. 1.1870. sent us off on a new search. The great shape less marble in the first, or Torso room, seemed sadly in the way. ' "We .tried to console our selves for the disappointment by looking from thc'balcofiy of this room over on to the city, the Campagna, and distant hills and moun tains. But this did not content ns. It would never do to leave the Vatican without seeing one of its greatest - wonderp. A gentleman c.amo in who seemed to know about all the statues. I summoned courage, stepped up to him, and asked: ’ “ ‘Will you-be so good as to toll me where "we can find the Torso 7’ ■ .“To our astonishmen the pointed to the great huge block of stone in the centre ot the room, which we thought had been placed there fpr some transient purpose,’ and which* had seemed to us a most awkward and ugly ob struction. " “ ‘How,’ I continued to my now acquaint ance, ‘will you again be so good as to tell us what Torso means 7’ “He explained to us very kindly that Torso Was the trunk of a statue without head or limbs,-and gave, also, some agreeable expla nations of this formless mass of stone, and then left us. Wo walked round, and round, and round the thing in perfect silence; then we sat down and laughed until the tears ran down our cheeks. Truly, education does bring persons to a line pass! For, to find beauties in such a thing as that dirty, ragged, hacked hill of stone, called the Torso of the Vatican, is an absurdity, and Michael Angelo must have been in his second childhood when they led him around it.” Rome is in the beginning ot Carnival. It promises to be quite gay this year. I went to the opening of it yesterday afternoon. In the morning, as I was going to study in the Capitol galleries, I bad a drive up and down the full length of the Corso, and enjoyed ex tremely the preparations that were being made. From every window men were fling ing out and fastening to the iron hooks rich colored tapestries and satins, dressing up the balconies with draperies of white and red. It was very gay. In the afternoon the bal conies and windows were filled, and by three o’clock the crowd ® the Btreet was very dense, from the Piazza del Popolo down to the Pi azza de Venezia, and the ain was filled with white clouds of the confetti, which was thrown backwards.gnd forwards from the balconies and the foot passengers. The Bwift cutting through of this crowd by the galloping horses is one of the prettiest sights on a Carnival af ternoon in Rome. The people seem to know, hyloDg practice, just how to open and close a crowd without accident. Some of the balconies are very tastefully decorated. Mrs. Hicks, a wealthy New Yorker, has an apartment on the first floor of the Hotel de Rome. Her balcony is handsomely draped, has the Papal and United States flag floating, flowers and fine-looldug women in it. It iB one of the prettiest in the Corso. The weather is delightful—“ True old Ro man weather, ”as the residents say. The flowers are magnificent. Thousands of bou quets flew through the air yesterday—bou quets of violets, camelias and all sorts of, to us, costly flowers,but which you can buy here for ten cents each; but bouquets of all prices are.-carried around, from little three-cent hunches up to gorgeous two, throe and * four dollar ones. - Bishop Wood has been very ill with rheu matism, hut is better to-day. THE •“ ’’ ON AHKKICA ASD OEOKUE WASHINCtIOJV. The Pall Mall Gazette, for the term from February 25th to March 19th, is affected with a particularly virulent rash or outbreak of its constitutional Americo-phobia. It cau hardly spirtenough energy in the way of puffing Maury or condemning the Piegan massacre, which last it treats as a representative American act. We will not allow our columns to take their color from such passages, but will select instead the calmer paragraph in which it calls George Washington “ a-man of limited views,” as we learned nearly two weeks ago by cable; that expression occurs in the following peroration to an article on Washington’s birthday: . « Americans ure striving to solve a great problem,and striving with insuperable energy and faith in their own success. They have,on the whole, an ideal worthy of a gr eat people; and they pursue it steadily, though with in numerable blunders and backsliding, and with a fearful evolution of bombastic nonsense. They are not dead to patriotic impulses or to a belief in the ultimate triumph of truth and ■ justice. On the contrary, they were never more alive to great ideas; only it must be con fessed that their worst enemies are the flatterers who persuade them that they can afford to do without certain ancient principles which have been found necessary among older nations. All kinds of impostors, religious, political and lite rary, have a splendid chance among them,-and’ make their existence unpleasantly conspicu-. orts; hut at the bottom there is a substratum of sound sense and honest belief in sound principles, which will ultimately prevail. At present they are in a state of unparalleled fer mentation, and the confusion is mightily in creased by the steady stream of ignorance and poverty poured into them from the overflow-' ings of the Old World ; but there is no reason to doubt tlrat they will ultimately clear them selveß of the scum which is now at the surface, and coine out fr om, their troubles as a great v nalionj justifying, though in unexpected forms, ’ the hopes which philanthropists have enter i tair.ed of their success. The future is hidden I from us; but there is far more reason I for hope .than for fear, even in the midst of the corruption and the cant hy which the superficial stratum of their poli tics is still disfigured. What Washington I would think of this we know not. He was a ! man of limited views in spite of his moral ! greatness, and we fear in some respects not i very bright or wise. But certainly he would i be astonished when he compared the modest ; beginnings of the great Republic with the mar >l velous scenes in which elements of good and , evil are mixed in so intricate and unprece i dented'a fashion. The simplest moral is that i a ghost does better in his own place, so long | as he keeps clear of tables; and perhaps, too, that it would be no bad thing if some of the - dead wh® still persistently affect to be alive : amongst üb, would retire from scenes which they comprehend as little as Washington hitn i self could do were he to reappear.” THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD. Dlekeas’s New Story. The current number of, Every Saturday (April 9th) contaius the first and second chap ters of the new story by Charles 1) tokens, “ The Mystery of Edwin Drood.” The author’s pow er of terrible and fantastic description is illustrated in the opening chapter—a scene in a resort of opium-smokers, and this is the passage which the artist, Mr. Fildes, lias chosen for the employment of his pencil. Wc quote a part of it : Slinking from head to foot, the man whose scattered consciousness has thus fantastically pieced itself together at length rises, supports his trembling frame upon liis arms, and looks mound. lie is in the meanest and closest of small rooms. Through the ragged wiudow c u: lain, the light of early day steals in from a miserable court. He lies, dressed, across A Annie BrEwhtkk. if ifee,;tmsee<y bed, upon a bedstead that,has indeed givea way under the wpigbUiUpohit. . Lying, also dressed and also ’WftyßBfjse bedj hot longwise, are a Chinaman, afLasqaf, andg haggard woman. The two first lire ib a sleep of stuporthis last is blowing m* Jgind /of pipe,, jto kiddle, it. And as emp'b&Ws, and shading ft with her lean hand, concentrates its red spark ofllght, it serves in the morn ing as a lamp to show him what he sees Of her. .... “ Another ?” says this woman, in a querulous, rattling whisper. “Have another?” He looks about him, with his bond to bis forehead. ' “ Ye’ve.smoked as many as five since ye came in at midnight,” the woman goes,on, as she chronieally--complains. '“Poor me, poor me, my head is so bad ! Them two came in after ye. Ah, poor me, the business is slack, is slack. Few Chinamen about the Docks, and fewer- Lascars, and ho ships coming in, these say! Here’s another ready for ye, deary. Ye’ll remember, like a good soul, won’t ye, that the market price is dreflle high just now ? More nor shilling and sixpence for a thimbleful! 4nd ye’ll remember that nobody but me (and Jack Chinaman t’other side of the court; but he can’t do it as well as me) has the true secret of mixing it? Ye’ll pay up according, deary, won’t ye ?” She blows at the pipe as she speaks, arid oc casionally bubbling at it, inhales much of its contents. “ O me, O me, my lungs is weak, my : lungs is had! J It’s nearly ready for ye, deary; Ah, poor me, poor me, my poor hand shakes like to drop off. I see ye coniing-to, and I ses to my poor self, ‘ I’ll have another ready for him, and he ’ll bear in mind the market price of opium, and pay according.’ O my poor head! I makes my pipes of old penny ink-bottles, ye see, deary—this is one—and I fits in a mouth-, piece, this way, and I takes my mlxter out of this thimble with this little horn spoon; and so I fills, deary. All, my poor nerves! I got Heavens-hard drunk for sixteen years afore I took to this; but this don’t hurt me, not to speak of. And it takes away the hunger as well as wittles, deary.”' She hands him the nearly emptied pipe, and sinks hack, turning over on her face. He rises unsteadily from the bed, lays the pipe upon the hearthstone, draws back the ragged curtain, and looks with repugnance at his three companions. He notices that the woman has opium-smoked herself into a strange likeness of the Chinaman. His form of cheek, eye and temple, and his colorare re peated in her. Said Chinaman convulsively wrestles with one of his many Gods, or Devils, perhaps, and snarls horribly. The Lascar ianghsand dribbles at ihe mouth. The hostess' is still. “ What visions can she have?” the waking man muses, as' he turns his face toward him, and stands looking down at it. “ Visions of many butchers’ shops, and public houses, and much credit? Of an increase of hideous cus tomers, and this horrible bedstead set upright again, and this horrible court swept Clean? What can she’ rise to, under any quantity of cpium, higher than that!—Eh ?” He bends down his ear, to listen to her mut terings. “Unintelligible!” As lie watches the spasmodic shoots and darts that break out of her face and limbs, like fitful liehtning out pf a dark sky, some contagion in” them seizes upon him, insomuch that he has to withdraw himself to a lean arm chair by the heaith—placed there, perhaps, for such emergencies—and to sit in it, holding tight, until he has got the better of this unclean spirit of imitation. Then he comes back, pounces on the China man, and seizing him with both hands by the tbroat, turns him violently on the bed. The Chinaman clutches the aggressive, hands, re sists, gasps, and protests. “ What do you say ?” A watchful pause. “Unintelligible!” Slowly loosening his grasp as he listens to the incoherent jargon with an attentive frown, he turns to the Lascar and fairly drags him forth upon the floor. As he falls the Lascar starts into a half-risen attitude, glares with his eyes, lashes about him fiercely with his arms and draws a phantom knife; It then becomes ap parent that the woman has taken possession of liis knife for safety’s sake; for, she, too, start ing up and restraining and expostulating with him, the knife is visible in her dress, not in liis, when they drowsily drop back, side by side. —As our readers have been already informed, this story is printed in Every Saturday from advance sheets, for which Mr. Dickens receives compensation. Wakefulness and Energy tor Sale: The Kola Nat. Our correspondent, says the Athenwum, has furnished us with a fair sample of. the Kola nut of Western Africa, which is, as our cor respondent states, highly esteemed by the ne groes, and forms a very important article of commerce in the native markets. “ The nuts possess,” he says, “an agreeable, bitterish, as tringent taste.” “ They have,” says our cor respondent, “ the effect of preventing hunger, strengthening the stomach, and enlivening the mind. A man can perform a day’s journey upon a single Kola nut, and if eaten at night they prevent sleep, 1 have long wished to in troduce them to the notice of literary men and, those who have much mental work. I canted tify myself to their restorative properties when fatigued by mental application and oppressed by the heat of the climate., The way for Europeans to use them is thus: Take half a Kola or a whole one, well masticate, swallow the juice, eject the residue, then drink cold water; and ‘ the bitter water shall become sweet,’ for a peculiar and very pleasant flavor is imparted to it.” The tree furnishing the nuts is also cultivated in the West Indies and in Brazil, to which countries, the seed has been introduced through the me dium of the tra flic in slaves,—one point in favor of the slave trade! The botanical his tory of the tree is well known,—one curious circumstance therein consisting in the fact that; the seeds have sometimes'lour or more cotyle dons instead of the usual dicotyledonary struc ture. The chemical nature of the seed is not so w ell known, and it would be very desirable that further analyses be made of it to give the explanation of the properties assigned to it by the iiKtivea, among which we may mention that of purifying water. The bitter Kola is a totally different thing— probably it is ilie teed of seme Anotracea or of some Guttifer. Our correspondent would render a real set vice to science if be would as certain for himself or give ns the means of dis covering what is the precise tree furnishing the bitter Kola nuts. Our leaders will find a colored figure of the true Kela mit in a t ecent volume of the Bo tanical Magazine, lab. 5,099, aud in the Kew Museum, Londofqmay he teen numerous sper eimens of the nuts.
