Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.) -July 5, --18 . 70.-7-41onor to • whom 'honor is due. The following has nothing to do with Roman news, but with the claims of a Philadelphian to the honors given to'a„Ererichinan. The late ex- , cessiVe,drought in Paris. has set the Paris jinn nals to commenting upon the possibility of inoeiningrahatzei OttifiCial'iiigans; and good deal of attention is given to a chemist of St. Brienne, Le Maout by name. • *lt appears that Lg ,during. the-Crimean war, made a series -of very--interesting observations, by which .he proved that, .the_cannonading at Se- 7 hastanqf hid affected the barometerin Brittany, GOO leagues distant. - LeMaout's observations are 'gctionapanied by the mention of many sirnilarinitaneesof, the coincidence of ,rain with the noise of a battle , field:' Ligny and 6enuippe, just before Waterloo, which caused the famous twelve hours' rain,—and in later times the saving of the Austrian army at Sol ferino,by_the hurricane. M. Le 'Maout's 6b senations_ are extremely exact and useful, but not original. Twenty-live years ago, at least, an American —a-Philadelphia sciertitie-man--obtaineill de serted reputation by directing the attention of Europe and America to this very subject which M. Le Maout - has been remarking. Professor JaraeSP.ESnY,the faintius meteorologistonade a close and.profound study of the phenomena of clouds and storms. Professor Espy attracted much attention at the time, especially in Eu rope. He visited Paris, and was warmly wel comed'hYThe -sciOttitic -celebrities - of - that-day ; was made an honorary member of many dis tinguished learned societies in England and France. 1 tememberwell Prof.-Espy and his interest ing lectures. His conversation was even more attractive than his lectures ; both, however, were full of information. He was a social as well as a scientific lion in Washington, London and Paris. I hope some one better informed than I on the details of Professor Esrly's claim to his rightful fame will represent the facts publicly. Everything that M. Le ,Maout recommended shouid - reirobe perials - of great. drought,,such as simultaneous firing of zatteries, ringing of bells and other loud and continuous noises, was proposed by Professor Espy, and sound scientific reasons given. The l'ope's supposed ill-health is a tride. Pius IX. was never in better condition. Not withstanding the annoyances and vexatious caused by Council matters, the oil gentleman has a very agreeable life. Yesterday the Guardia, Urbane had a reception in the Belvi dere Cortile of the Pat lean. The'first of July. at six o'clock in the aitiir noon, the young ecclesiastics who performed the.oflisc of stenographers in the Council, wore prgSented to the Pope by Mgr. Fessler, Bishop of St. Bippolyto, Secretary of the Council, and Mgr. Jacobini, Under Secretary. The recep tion took place in the Hall of the Vatican lA brary. The act of obedience wasperformed,— this is the kissing of the Pope's slipper, on which is embroidered the cross. By the way, in Buckle's " History of Civilization in Eng land," 1 vol. p. 229, the origin of this act of obedience is given,on the authority of Matthew of Westminster, who was, after Froissart, the most celebrated historian of the fourteenth cen tury. It may be interesting Co those/who study the antiquities of the Holy See to know its origin. According to the old chronicler, it was the custom to kiss the Pope's hands up to the latter part of the eighth century. When Leo 111 was Pope lie chailf:ed the custom, be cause a naughty frivolous woman, in making an offering to the Pope, pressed his Land as well as kissed it. Leo 111. cut his hand off then anti there, and established that hence forth.the shoper , should be kissed! This solemn, strict old Pope was the one who built the Triclinium attached to the Lateran, and ordered to be made the celebrated mosaic which adorned this Triclinium. A copy of the mosaic can be seen in the superb arched niche forming the end of the Sancta Sauctoi tun on the Piazza of the Lateran. In one of tho pic tures of this f'anious mosaic—the one to the left of the central colossal Christ surrounded by his Apostles—St. Peter bestows the stole on Leo HI. and the Banner on Charlemagne. Leo Ill.'s tomb was crowned by Charles, but it was destroyed, and his remains, with those of Leo L,ll. and IV.,were deposited in the same vault in the crypt of St. Peter's—the bina el usura of one of the Madonna chapels. Last Sunday, when these fine - old crypts were open to women—the only day of all the year —1 spent five hours there, and stood on the broad stone which covered this vault. The remains of the four saintly Leos are no longer there. Paul V. ( 1607). that courtly Borghese, who, I am sure, would not u have cut off his handsome hand if fifty _ . . y m creel Dalilahe had pressed it, removed them to the upper church, where they are placed in the chapel of the Madonna of the Colutun—the chapel at the end of the left lateral nave. It is thiS chapel Cardinal Bonaparte always visits when be eomes to St. Peter's. I have often seen ate handsome prOlate:sweep up to the al tar, fall pit his knees, and pray devoutly, his attendants, like myself, standing at a respect- AititOce.

After the slipper had peen liissed twenty-four times, a handsome rinfresco, or collation; - was served During—this—the-Popp walked about among the young men and talked , cordially with them. To two Rish..atenogra pliers he showed a magnificent album which has been recently sent, frmn treland to him. After the riiifresco, the Pope called, to him two of his great nephews—lads who are ,stu dentg in the College Capranica—and gave them to hold two elegantly-embroidered purses, each containing twelve numbers, and said he had opened a lottery for stenographers—for there is no real fun in Italy without a lottery. The twenty-four lots were arranged on a round table. They consisted of splendidly botind liturgical books and other objects of value; each one had marked milt a number. The Pope took a seat at the table as jolly as a gbod4ta.ttired grandpa Pa., and-made:the-twenty four young men stand around him. Each one drew a number from the purse and handed it to His Holiness, who announced it. The head chamberlain and two private chamber lains distributed the lots. While the distribu-- tion went on the Pope had a pleasant word for each one, and with that tact which is peculiar to him he_remembered the nation and often the diocese from which the young men came. You can well imagine the delight all this Caused 'the young' priests: • After - this part . of the reception. the Tope took the stenographers throUgh the library and showed them a great number of precious gifts received lately from .Eastern chinose ivory chessmen exquisitely carved, money, &c. The young priests trooped after "the old man of the Vatican," holding under their arms and in their hands their gifts. It was like a band of collegorhoys-following some favorite • . ProfeSser. -The Pope, MO, was as merry and as happy as if Ile bad no anti-infallibility minority to trouble him ; no Cardinal Guidis to cause him vexation. The old gentleto.n made many a dry, shrewd remark. .1 t e allegorical toy has been lately sent , Pope. It is a bark dashing about on ; fin ions sea ; a figure repre senting Pius IX. bolds the rudder, a Zouave inanaijes the sails and our Blessed Lord is asleep on the deck. The Pope stopped in front of it„ -and said : "See, that . ig i llusjX. in the ship. There is a tempest raging around him: - But don't 'be alarmed, because " (and he pointed to the figure of the sleeping Lord) "lie is 31aster of the House." The discussion of the.4th chapter De RomaKo Pontifice elosed .onlast,Tuesday.-- Both sides , resigned the right of speech. The Infallibilists urged a prompt declaration of the dOzma. The 113 iuority requested the matter Should be de ferred until autumn, urging the example of the Fifth Council of Lateran (.1442), Which was sus pended from the 4th of June to December on account of the ill health among the Bishops. Bathe request of the minority will be disre garded. The voting, it is now said, will take place en the Ic4h, and the ne - xt general session on the 20th. Vettillot, of the L: wirers, with his usual daring and more than usual brutality, , says,-alluding Ay-the-hot weather and the diffi culty the Bil,ops sutler from having to remain in Home : "It the definition needs the sun to ripen it, well, then, let it be broiled." There has been it great deal of illness amone . the American Bishops. Bishop Ryan, of Buf falo, is lying very low. Dr. Taussig, who has been called in as consulting physician, told me, lust now, that lie is very anxious about the Bishop : he pays three visits daily. The disease is a badly managed diarrieea. which has terminated in puiton The weather is nut al all unhealthy to those of us who k , ...0w how to live in the lloniati fashion. I Lever enjoyed such excellent health. The air is delicious, the fruits and vegetables excellent. I avoid the heat of the day and all annoyances. The duke far ,tintte is the true summer life of Borne. And now to give you a plsasant good by, I will send the last mot of Duke Galtain—the witty blind Duke, who is one of the cleverest men in all Italy his bon-mots are famous. A friend of his has just repeated this last one to me. " l'io 1X.," said the Duke, " che per 24 anni non La detto ne talk, the corbellerie, ora, the miracolo, net:num anne diventa infallibile!" " Pin§ IX., who for N 4 years never said or did anything wise, now—what a miracle—in the 25th year becomes infallible l" The Duke is, of course, a great liberal. Mad Dogs. An interesting lecture was delivered in Balti more last week by Dr. John P. Garrish, on Hydrophobia, its History, Symptoms and Treatment. As all that relates to this dreadful malady has an immediate interest for every in habitant of env n or country, but especially for those who live in cities, a few facts may he profitably collected from this lecture : Hydrophobia occurs move frequently in northern than southern latitudes. The sus ceptibility of contagion from rabies is confined mostly to a period of seven weeks after the bite of the rabid animal. As the largest number of cases •.,f hydrophobia are reported in the months of September, Neivember and Decem ber, it may therefore be assumed that the ma jority of victims are bitten during the dog days. The bite of a dog that is merely angry and not rabid dues not, in Dr. Garrish's opinion, engender hydrophobia. The poison is rarely communicated to the system where the animal bites through the clothes. In order that the malady shall be de veloped, it is necessary that the saliva of the dog must conic in actual contact with the wound or abraded surface. When one has been bitten by a dog, the ani mal should not be killed on suspicion of rabid ness, but kept confined, in order that the phy sician may construe subsequent symptoms of the patient. Fits are conclusive evidence that a dog is not mad. The rabid dog does not . sbun . the water. He will stand aint lap it, but-lie 'cannot .take - large swallows by reason of the invariable, paraly sis, of the muscles about the jaws and throatia sign by which madness may always be detected. Hydrophobia fully developed in the human system is hicurable. But if treated before the period of "incubation," as it is called, has passed by (which varies from three to seven weeks), tbe poison may be eliminated from the system. One of - the pbysiciaits in attendance at the lecture, Dr. Alexander Steri, mentioned that-the celebrated Dr. Youatt, whose -,works on the domestic animals are well known, was bitten thirteen times by rabid animals, once on the lip by a rabid cat, and that had himself been bitten by a mad dog only'two .. r ats ago. PHILADELPHIA EYEiMi z gl : l3l'iLLE'''TlN - , WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1870. In these cases -the-cure had been effected by immediate excision of the parts - and 9uteriza tion. Dr. Garfish inclined to regard the vapor bath as the most efficient remedy for ..hydrophiibia, and condemned: the use of . etlnt4ants .Ir, all ; cases of venomous bites. I - • ' In the opening part of his lecture Dr. Gar rish referred to the cause of hydrOphobia ,as a mystery wholly unknown for many; years, and still — inverfectly — understood - Thereu little doubt that in many cases it is the result of the artificial life which dogs lead es human companions in a state of the highest, civiliza tion. In South America, where the, dog lives in a state of nature, the malady is,' unknown. Shut out from the society of hie , kind in the house or upon the lawn of his meter, the - poor dog is driven into the rabid - ebudition by man's ignorantly cruel inattention to his wants. iNluzzles and canine solitude produce more cases of rabies thal the summer heat. THE SALE OF THE DICKENS PIC ' ' WOES. , The sale of pictures, drawings, and objects of art belonging to the late Mr. Charles Dickens, took place at the rooms of Messis.Chrtistie,Man son & Woods, on Saturday, and proved to be one of the most remarkable ou record. The large salesroom was filled to overflowing, a very large proportion of the spectators being from the provinces, and the prices, paid for - the ma jority of the articles sold were sp.extravag,autly high that nothing in the history . of- Messrs. Christie's rooms has ever equalled them,— The desire:to secure mementoes of the great novelist led purchasers to give twenty, thirty, and, in one or two cases, even a hundred times the in trinsic or marketable value of what, under or dinary circumstances, would be leemed a corn mon-place article. The lots, especially the ob jects of art, were too numerous to be specified in detail: The' following- 'ill RUfficiently indi cate the spirited character of the competition: Drawings : A .small work by Stanfield, no larger than a page of note-paper., "The Bri tannia"—the vessel in which Mr. Dickens first went to America—was bought by.

Grove, for 00 guineas. The principal picture in the collection was Frith's Dolly Varden, the most "roguish, comely, bright-eyed, enticing, newitching, captivating, maddening little puss in the world."' The past history of this pic ture is curious, and another singular episode was added to it on Saturday. IL originally cost Mr. Dickens 1:20; on Saturday it- was bought by Mr. Agnew for 1,000 guineas. It' a sporting term may , be applied tcl pictme-buy-' lug, one can only describe the competitors for the workas-so many rival "plugger's." The bids were sometimes an advance of 50 guineas at a time, and after the applause which followed Mr. Agnew's last bid of 1,000 guineas it sounded like a piece of satire to hear a feeble , ‘N NE BREVt ,T1:1 voice cry out "A thousand and one," When the laughter which had followed this offer sub sided, Mr. Agnew disputed the right of the auctioneer to accept a bidding of less than five per cent ; the spectators supported Mr. Agnew . ; and as there was no further advance the pic ture was knocked down to him. A companion work, painted by the same artist for the same amount of money—Kate Nickleby at Madame Mantihni's—realized 200 guineas, ( Attenbor- Dna). One of Stanlield's theatrical scenes, The Eddystone Lighthouse, presented by the artist, 000 guineas, (Attenborough). Aenther large scene; also by Stanfield, painted for "The Frozen Deep," 130 guineas, (Attenborough). A man-ot-war with a boat, also by Stanfield, 175 guineas, (V °kills). Maclise's well-known portrait of Mr. Dickens, painted in 1839, and presented by the publishers of " Nicholas Nickleby" on the completion of that work, was bought - by the Rev. Sir E. It. Joddrell, Bart., for 000 guineas, a much smaller sum than the picture was generally valued at. There were about 40 lots of decorative ob 7 jects—candlesticksi• tazze, pi•estlen figures, seaux, etc.; for'each of which there was - a brisk' competition, the prices being about four or five times the real value of the article. A Mr. Hicks bought a plain Chinese gong for 31 guineas;- a walnut paper -weight, abont faur incite§ by three inches, was sold for 7 guineas ; an inkstand for 111 guineas ; a walnut enve lope case for 9 guineas, and a match-box,worth about as many shillings, fetched 5 guineas. But the most spirited competition during the sale was for Mr: Dickens's favorite raven, the gi Grip" of " Barnaby - Budge." The first bid of 25 guineas for an indifferently-stuffed black crow, in a common glazed case, was thought a bold offer, but in less than half a minute a dozen or more competitors had run the figure to' 60 ,guineas. The price, however, con, tinned to advance, and first one opponent and then another were shaken off, till; at 75 guineas there .ntdre; only two competitors in the field. "Eighty, and knock it down," cried the bolder er of them, thinking that so large an 'advance Would not be challenged, but "eighty-one" 'speedily followed; and for full five minutes the. spectators watched the duel. One of the spec- ulatoribid y two, three _or five pounds at a, Other -quickly followed, tortoise fashion; with his single guinea, but in the end he succumbed to ;120 gnmeas, at which enor 'lndus figure the historic bird was bought by Mi....7tittage, of 'Pulse Hill. The cheering that folloWed WaS something like an ovation. A small handsome bronze, " Esmeralda," after Prattler, was purchased by Mr. 'l'QOlO for 21 guineas. Augustus Fletcher's bust, of Mr. Dickens was knocked down to Mr. Greenbury, of Whitby, for 51 guineas, and a bust of Landor,. after Gibson, was bought by Mr. Mitten for 22 guineaS. Some plaster casts, which are ordinarily- sold. for not More than £l, realized from 8 guineas to 10 guineas. Some Pekin and oriental porcelain fetched equally extravagant prices. Vases and bottles of no extraordinary merit were sold for 7,8, 10 and 20 guineas. The last set of articles offered for sale were the Pickwick ladles, half a dozen small silver toddy spoons, each having a gilt figure handle representing some character in "Pickwick." The ladles were presented to Mr. Dickens by Messrs. Chapman and Hall on the completion of that work. Four of the six were bought by Mr. Agne'w, and the prices may - be taken as some criterion of the relative popularity of Mr. Dickens' subjects. While Sam Weller fetched £O4, Mr. Winkle only realized £23, and Mr. Jingle was sold for £3O. But the highest price fur thean small ladles was given by Mr. A. Halliday, for the 'figure of Pickwick..to9. .T.he last of the to . was bought. by Mr. Dickens' son. for 34 guineas. Though it was not in the catalogue, the auctioneer then discovered that the morocco case for'the ladles was for sale. After a spirited bidding, it was ' bought by Mr. Permain for three guineas. The sale realized £9,410.-Lon don Times,Jit y CITY ORDINANCES. COMMON COUNCIL OF PIIILdDEL PHIA .

THE FRENCII-PRUSSLAN QUARREL Pions, July 26.—The Journal Officiel of this morning says that Marshal Le Ikeuf late last night telegraphed the Emperor that Gene ral Beonis had repelled - a reconnoissance of the enemy, near the town of Niederbronn, twenty-six miles northwest of Strasburg. One fficer r -a-Bavarian,-waskilled anti -two _ma. • prisoners. The Figaro, in its account of the affair, insists that the officer killed was an Englishman. • The Jourznal Ogiciel publishes a - despatch from the Duke de Gramont, addressed to the diplomatic representatives of France, refuting the statements made by Baron Von . Werther, that uo mention bad been made of the candi dature of Prince Leopold previous to the late offer of Prim: Gramontlppends a letter from Count - BenedettiTdatedlSWer3L - IF6kstating that he had been assured by the Cabinet of Berlin that there was nothing serious in the re port that it was possible that an, offer of the throne of Spain might be made - to' Ilohenzol ern. LoNDoN, July 26.—[Special .to the New York //era/rid—A special despatch from Stras burg, received to-day, says : The Me of the French army is now con centrated at 'Strasburg and Belfort. The Alge rian forces, - consisting of Zouaves and Turcos, and filling eighteen railway trains, reached Strasburg on the 24th, and to-day took up position at Belfort, close to the Baden line. Sixteen squadrons of Chacs'urs d'Afrique ar rived to-day via Lyons. Despatches-received-from -Thionville,-Sierck, St.Avold, Metz and Bitche, state that the army has_commenced_to move toward the frontier. The Imperial Guard has already started, and it is now regarded as certain that the Emperor •designs closing in on the Prussians between Thionville and Weissenburg, throwing the army under General McMahon on thet4rman side of the Rhine. This army is composed of three corps, com manded by Generals Forey, Douay, and Mc- Mahon. A force of 8,000 marines, under command of Gen. De Vrt-ssrtigne, accompany the Baltic fleet, and an attack is to be made on Stralsund, immediately north of Berlin. France denies the authenticity of the secret treaty said to have been offered to Prussia. LoNDoN, July 2f3.—A despatch from Paris announces that the Emperor leaves to-night for the front. The environs of Cologne have been cleared of their inhabitants arid buildings, and the trees will be leveled, iu preparation for a siege, The Pall Mall Gc zette. now that the real designs of the French Emperor are revealed, counsels England to make every preparation for war. Earl Granville, in the House of Lords to night, again referred to the draft of a secret treaty alleged to have been proposed by France to Prussia, and said he had an 4. interview this afternoon with the French Ambassador, who told him that the treaty originated with Bis marck; that it never had a serious basis, and was rejected by both parties. The Ambassador protested that France was actually desirous of maintaining peace with Belgium, England and Rolland. Mr. Gladstone informed,tbe House of Com mons that advices from Berlin, settling the au thenticity Of the Timex's information re g arding the alleged treaty, are hourly expected. The British Minister at Berlin had telegraphed that he despatch containing the original propoSitio us f Napoleon embodied in the treaty existed iu Count Benedetti's own handwritign. Mr, Otway, Under Foreign Secretary, de dined, when asked, to make any communica tion or express an opinion on the proposal made by Napoleon to annex Holland. Henri Rochefort was arrested at Blois to-day and is in charge of the gendarmes. La Liberie announces that .the.Joto•>url Of field will publish , to-morrow the correspon dence between the Fretich and Italian govern xuents, in which the first steps are taken for the solution of the question of the occupation of Rome. The Merle promises that the docu ment will create a sensation, and will show that the Italian government has not even asked for the withdrawal of the 'French troops, but France has taken the initiative to that end. FLORENCE, July 26,—Minister Ycnosia has assured the Italian llouse lEY6utie.S that Italy will not j leitl:to pressure from Frauee..; • • 13EutAN, July ,26.—The, Provincial Corro pondence says that the rapid and vast prepara tions for war extinguish. allfe.eling of .haittie tude caused by the boaited'-readmess' of the French to, take the initiative,- and will, it is hoped, save the Prussian soil from the c,daruity of war. COPEN - ITAcirs; - Jidy- 20. - -The Government of Denmark has issued a proelarnation of neu trality in the war hetWeetr Frussia,and France, in' which "the subjects of Denmark are warned .against - assistance either of the belligerents.: • • • Neutral °petty nt Son; Baron Gerolt tes received the following despatch from his Government : "Publie---ophriorr-in—lingland-l-favoinahle-t -. N'ortir Ocrmany, but the:Government, is not favorahle, aid acts with . .the , neutrality- law t i against North Germany as she did against the United States with the Alabantari" -= The Baron has also received the following letter fromthe Secretary - 7,nr State t = DEPArriimire ory.STA•ric, _ WainratOrtitt, July 22, 1870.—Str : I have the honor to ac knowledge the receipt of your,letterpf the 10th inst., communicating to this Government the text of the despatch from Court Bismarck to the effect that'Private-prOireityiilin the - ' high , iteas will be exempt from seizure by the ships of Ills Majesty, the Kingof,P.russla,_without re gard to reciprocity. In compliance with-tkii request further contained, in your. -note that communication has been officially made public , from this department. It is now nearly a cen tury since the United States, through'Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, theirplenipotentiaries, and under the guidance of the great Frederick of Prussia,entered into a treaty of amity and commerce, to• be in force ten years from its date; whereby it was agreed that if war should unhappily arise between the two contracting parties, all merchant and trading vessels employed in exchanging the products of,different places, and thereby ren dering the neceesdries, conveniences and com forts ol human life more easy to be obtained and more general, should be allowed to pass free and unmolested, and that neither of the contracting powers should grant or issue any commission to, any private armed vessels, em powering them to take or destroy such trading, - vessels or interrupt such commerce. The Government of the United States re ceives with great - pleasure this ,renewed ad herence of the great and enlightened German Government to the principle temporarily estab lished by the treaty of 1785, and since then ad vocated by this Government. Another oppor tunity was offered in 1845. President. Pierce, in his annual message to Congress, said: "Should the leading powers of Europe concu.r in propising as a. rule of international law to exempt private property upon the ocean from seizure by publie armed cruisers as well as ' by privateers,the United States will readily meet them on that broad ground." In 1850 the. Government was invited to give its adhesion to the declaration of Paris, and Mr. Marey, then Secretary of State, replied: " The President proposes to add to the first proposi tion in the declaration of the Congress at Paris the following words: And that the private property of the subjects or citizens of a bel ligerent, on the high seas, shall be exempted from seizure by public armed vessels of the other belligerent - unless it be contraband.' Thus amended the Government of the United States will adapt it, together with the other three principles contained in this declaration." And again, in 1801, Mr. Seward renewed the offer to give the adherence of the United States to the declaration of the Congress of Paris, and expressed a preference that the same amendment should be retained. Count Bis marck's despatch, communicated in your letter -of-July-10,-shows-that-North-Germany---is-wil ling to recognize this principle, even with out reciprocity, in the war which has now un happily broken out between that country and France. This gives reason to hope that the Government and people of the United States may soon he gratified by seeing it universally recognized as another restraining and human izing influence Imposed by modern civilization upon the aft of war. Accept, sir. the renewed az.-surance of my very high coniideration. HAMILTON F 16.11. To Baron Gerolt, Sc.
