The Men Who Fascinate Women. It Is the Homely, and Not the Handsome Ones. lustrative Incidents from the Lives of Koted Characters. The Amours of Julins Cmsar, Sir Philip Sidney, Pietro Aretino, Paul Scarron, Baron Von Der Trenck, Vol taire, Ronssean, and Jonathan Swift, - Junius Henri Browne {n Appletons’ Journal. The special attraction of some men for most women is dezply hidden. It is not dlscoverable by observation or by reason, and 1ts source is, in maby cases, as mysterious to those who exer- cise it as to those who feelit. The general opinion that men draw and delight the other sex mainly torough their' £ood looks, notwith- standing it has a basis of fact, cannot be salely adopted. Wehcara grest deal of handsome fellows, historic and contemporaneous, who have broken feminine peace and rifled feminine bearts. We are jutimately acquainted with what Alcibiades, Mobammed, Crichton, and Marlborough huve schieved in that way, not to mame the beaux of our set or the rallants of the town; bat we are apt 1o’ overlook other quali- tles ‘that have contributed to their success. Women like to talk wildly about- handsome ‘men, as if Handsomeness were the sole thing desirable; and yet, while they rave over lus- trous eyes; flowing locks, and magnificent fig- ures, they find themselves fascinated by plain and even homely men, whom, from description, thiey woutd feel sure they conld never abide. ‘The Dustrious ien in_history who have been subdvers of women, who have kindled in their besrts fn e passions, have been, 8s arule, rather plain than handsome. z JULIUS C23aB, Tor instance, as great a victor over the other sex 25 over'his own,~—trinmphing eventoally over both by force of arms,—was far from heautiful, uswe lestn froni Buctonius and the marbles that are stlll preserved. ' His featiites were not quite regular, nor well proportioned. His com- ‘plexion was naturally sickly and pale, when'not bronzed by exposure.. He was tall, but very spare; he had & distemper in the head, Plutarch tellsus, and was’ subject to epilepsy. In his later years, also, ho was entirely bald, which ‘made him the more desirous to wear a crown of laurel. One of the most winning, eloguent, and Irresistible of mep, he owed his power to his ‘mesterly mind, not to su attractive person. As women are unquéstionably drawn to own- ers of renown. and occupants of high places, it 1may be' thought that they went to Camsar for whist he had achieved rather than for what he was, But: accredited facts seem to disprove this. Whep he was a'mere stripling, before he had gained any place or fame in Rome, girls of his age’sighed for him, and matore women Ionged for his Jove. He felt what he was born to by the extraordinary inflaence he exercised over women ere men had recoguized his gifts. Bylls said of him, while in bis earlyteens, “They Imow little who donot see manyMariuses in that boy.” Even previoustothat, women had fonndin him many lovers. Afterward, in Bithynis, Spain, Gagl, wherever he went, in truth, the {airest of the feminine patives, though ‘they kvew not his agme nor rank, appeared to bun- ger for his socibty. ‘They flew to bim as the 1ooth flies to the flame—by an instmet of self- destruction.. He was by no means a vain, seltish, sensual libertine; be was sensitive, sus- weptible, eflectionate, passionate; loving too much ruther thau not enough; conquered by, as well as conguering, women, as the fsmiliar ex-~ ample of Cleopatra 60 fully fllustrates. ‘ascinating as Casanswas, he could not kee bis third wité, Pompeia, from a desperate ani danzerous flirtation with Publius Clodius.

Great sympathy has been expressed with Sid- Dey for his loss of Lady Rich, to whom he had beed betrothed, but who was married 10 an- other. As the lady turned out, he was very fértunste fn tiot her; but whether her deviations were the result of her wedding a man shredid vot love; orof \natural moral obliquity, cannot be:determined..

Sidney wooed her most. energetically under the -mame of 4 Stella long after her marringe, and mot at all, as his panecyrists claim, in Platonle {asbion. 1t is impossible 1o read his amatory poems addressed to ber, even allowing for the Iresdom of the age, without being convinced that he emploved all the arts of pas sionate and poetic expression tosuily the woman be assumed to worskdp. For a model of chival- T3, 28 in most things he certainly was, his ex- tremely erotie, sometimes - licentious, effusions are not exactly what would be expected of him.

He made his boast good, too; for he had an extraordinary facility and versatility, composing seutfinental, ~ satir- jcal, historic, ~sacréd, profane, poctic, and licentious worke, which had an jom ediaté and abungant sale. The Doge, Andrea Gritti, became " bis friend; the Pope was reconciled to him, and promised him his” sister in marriage. Chstles V. hoored hiu, and e hat hizh hoges of a Cardinal’s hpt. Alifwent well with him. He painted and carved with skill; he fared sumptuously; the noblest beauties of Venice melted at his' glance. Still, he was 1 coarse scoundrel. He was a glutton, a seosualist, a blackguard, and not unfrequently he was way- 11id and beateu, and several times nearly mur- dered, for his transeressions, literary acd mor- al. He was designated as the scourge of Princes. ‘Why some of tnem did not have him put out of theway in nh:z era of easy poison and poniards passes comprehension. ‘Having bee 10ld one day. of eome” shimeful conduct by his sisters,—the members of the Aretino family were very much alike,—he was 50 greatly amused that he tarew himself back jnto his” chair with immoderate laughter, fell over, and broke his preclous neck. Heleft mauy mistresses, who wept over his death, but dried their. tears betimes, to smile and sin agaln. Arctino's charm for women must have been his immitigable viciousness. PAUL SCARRON, the comic poet, renowned in his day. sud hardly remembered now, dazzled the imagination and controlled the sensibiities of some of the fincst women of France during the reign of Louis XL and XIV. Nature hiad_been miserly to him as respects his person, before disease had made him a wretched cripple. But even after that he had no trouble in obtaining for wife the young and lovely Francoise d’Aubigne, who, a8 Madame de Maintenon, subsequentlysubjugated the most fastidious and fickle of French Kings. ¢ wit sald, when he was five-and-thirty: “Though hideously deformed, not = line of grace left in me, the most charming women carth has yet seen are rendered bappy by my smile. Bless yourself, friend Scarron, it is your geaius dhat transforms you.” To his bride he cxclaimed: “I shall mske you jmmartal, Fran- coise! Youshall go down to posterity as the of Starroal’ ~Alas for ezotism and predic- on! ' Who recollects to-day . that Madame de Maintenon was ever Madame Scarron? ‘What a devit of a fellow was BARON' FRIEDRICH VON DER TRENCK in regard to the sentimental sisterhood; and yet he was cheated of attractive features, and owed all_his emotional successes, as he once wrote, Lo his uncompromising ueliness! There are many records, besides his own interesting memoiré, of how, when he sousht to win women, they were incontinently won. Trenck’s npassion for the Princess Amelia, sister of Frederick the Great, involved him in life-long troubles. Hia: precocious talents and soldierly accomplishments bad- warmly recom- mended him to the King, who, resolved on his advancement, treated him like a friend and a son. At 16.he was admitted into the Roval body-guard, and at 1§ was selected to drill the” Silesian cavalry. A brilliant future was opencd to him when, on the oceasion of the “festivities of the marriage ot the Princess Ulrich. an older sister of-- Frederick, with the Prince Royal of Sweden, he met in Amelia one of his many fates. Theg fell heels-over-head in love with one another at_first sight, aud took mo counscl save from their inclinations. Their rash- mess escaped observation, and in the campaien of the year following (1744) the young man gained a 6till stronger hold uvon the affections of bis sovereigm by his dashing valor. The King appointed bim his Adjutant; but, returning to Berlin, Trenck was so little circumspect in his foterviews with the Priucess that her brother could not remain in’ ignorance of them. He en- deavored by indifectiadmonitions to draw the of- ficer away “from the danger he was bringing upon himsell; but the latter was too deeply in love, and 100 im%g!,uons in disposition, to heed any warnings. The consequence was, that he ‘was arrested. and kept in_confinement several weeks, the pretext peing lateness on parade. During the npext camp he sgain dis- tinguished himself; but the King, baving dis- covered that he was in ;rivam correspondence with his ferocious and turbulent cousin, Baron Franz, in the service of Maria Theress, caused him to bLe cashiered, and "thrown, without trial, into the fortress of Galatz,’ whence he escaped_aitera year's im- prisonment and repeated audacious and desper- ate attempta. i Trenck kuew that his punishment was due less to his kinsman than to his monarch’s kins- woman, and admitted to his mistress that it was very difficult, in the nature of things, to remain a favorite with the King, and be 2t the same time the lover of the King’s sister. Still he persisted in his obstinacy, impelled by his romantic attachment and his equally romantic recklessness, although ne was - bopelessly cat off from personal communication with the Prin- cess. ‘Shut out from Prussia, he wandered about; had divers adventures; consoeld him- sell after the usual masculine fashion for his separation from Amelia; and finally, going to Dantzic on'the death of Lis mother, he was seized in the middle of the nizht by three hus- sars, acting under Frederick’s orders, and-con- ducted to the citadel of Magdeburg. ~Notwith. standing the most daring and wonaerful efforte to_escape, in which he very nearly suc- ceeded several times, he remained there about nine years and a half, loaded with irons and undergoing terrible suffering. - The faithful Princess, even more wretched than himself, from the knowledge that she had brotight such wocs ‘upon him, Javored with and besought her broth- er, without ceasing, to effect her lover's release, sud finally carried her purpose. After new commitments to prison, and marvelous escapes, after sundry duels, llant exploits in the service of Mars and periences 85 & journalist (be drank the cup of wormwood to the very dregs), the death of the King enabled Lim to return to his native coun- try, from which he had been exiled forty-two cars.

He whowm Goethe ('nllt‘.dr the greatest literary man that has ever lived, the most surprising production of the Author of Nature— VOLTAIRE— was fn no wise framed like Paris, albeit .be had maoy Helens. Brilliant as 3. diamond fn the sunshine, incontestably the cleverest of the hu- man race to present date, he would never have been chosen as a tvpical lover. Wonderful as his mind was, he was ugly of feature, but capa~ ble of delighting’ ‘women with his ugliness, Madsme de Genlss tells us that he was the only man of the eighteenth century who could . talk women a5 they really enjoy being talked to; and she had mesns of kuowing, and was capa. bie of judging, When the priice of wits, oged 20, had gone to Holland as page to the Marquis de Chateauncuf, he formed a sentimental at- tachmeunt to Olympe Dunoyer, the pretty daugh- ter of a French woman who had exiled” herself togetHidof o disagreeable husband.

Voltaire differed” from the vast majority of men, particularly those of the art-class, by adbering, despite occasioual delin- quencies, to the women who expressed fond- uess for him. He did not forsake them when they had deceived him, though they not infre- juently forsook him when be bad nof.damive,d them. ~ Cau it be possible that some wonien’s disloyalty is provoked by the assurance of their lover's loyalty to them. ROUSSEAU (JEAN JACQUES) looked the reverse of the sentimentalist that he was. Not only was hie remarkably plain, . his {face being dull'and his features heavy; his ap- poarance was_ rustic, his mauner was awkward; pothing in his exterior to gratify a woman's eve. Nevertheless, he stirred her £ her depths; thrlled her to'tac: core; set ber'blood on fire; drew her soul through the wild sea of her excited sense. His presence moved women a8 well as his writings; strangely ‘endugh witbal, for he was mot in the leust awiable; nor'was he capable of appearinzso, He could not talk; his wit was slow; he was silent, gencrally sulky, uttering either stupidities or pedantries when he nerved himself to say any- thing, and disgusted at the poor fizure hé cut. He assailed everything that had the temerity to exist. Socictywas a_sham; courtesy a trick; good-breeding 3 grimace; 'sclence quackery; philosophy abubble. It must have been.his grangiose, immutable erotism that struck sparks from the breasts of petted belles and stutely ladies of rank, . Hesays toone of his fair admirers:. *You have praised me for my writings; you would praise and honor me more for my 1ité, if you knew it; and still more for my heart, could you_ seeits parity, its tender- -ness, its great love of humanity.” " He declares himself to be the proper type of the rice. Those who would know man as unselfish, as noble, as exalted as can be, under the direful limitations which tradition and castom have imposed—says the restless - sophist in effect—should read the “ Confessions?” of Jean Jucques. . He quarreled with ererr]'bully under the fn- sdne beliet that the whole world was in con- spiracy against him. No man could long be his {riend; bis morbid temperament rendered it im possible. ~ But_geucrous, accomplished, dis- tinguished women pat up with his endless va- " zaries, his morose temper, - his enormous cxac- tions. They sympathized with him; they ca- ressed bim 5 they forgave his perpetual affronts and his base ingratitade for the love they bore bim. Madame de Warens gave him a Lhome when be was a poor, fricdless youth who had runaway from a hard master he had. been ap- prenticed to; cherished him; yielded. every- thing. Not without grave fauits, she was cx- tremely good to him; ‘and, though he professed a lasting attachment for her, his behavior oppugned his professions. 'The brilliant Madame d’Epin:‘; did all in her power to ren- der him contented. They were companions for years; she built for him the Hermitage at Montmorency; but he _transferred his affection to her sister-in-law, the Comnt- ess d'Houdetot, a very intercsting wom- an with a ‘code of ethics adapted to the last century. Indeed, he had no lack of fine ladies at bis disposal. It was the mode in Paris to be enamored of him, and the mode was followed with exceeding eazernees, He avows with characteristic modesty that the women were 50 intoxicated with his'books and their au- thor that there were very few, even of the high- est rank, whose conquest he could not- have made, had he cared to undertake it. He con- fides to the public that he had abundant evi- dence of the fact, which be did mot wish to priat, though It was entirely convincing. No ucstion either but he' told-the truth. That is the worst of it. And befs the man of whom many.of . bis contemporaries spoke as a senllion in spirit, supremely sensual, devoid of all de- 5 cency, depraved from the start, a fellow not to be admitted into any household where self-re- spect was Tregarded. But a great many cul- tured and charminfi women Wore this sentl- mental savage In the innermost foldsof their affections. JORN WILEES, often mentioned, even by himself, as the ugllest men in'_ all England, was a British ~Don Guaman de Alfarache. He had the gitt of talk- h;g women out of all respeet for the Dest-known of the Ten Commendments. Where he had {ree access, impropricties and scandal arose asa Datural consequence. Coarse, ' unscrupnlous, dissolute, lie had the art of dissembling to per- fection when be wished to, and women who ab- horred him-from his mJ)ulatlun were sure he had been foully slandered fifteen minutes after be had gainedtheir car.

As ine cditor of the North Briton, his dema- \gogism was so dexterous that,.aided by the olfy of his political adversaries, he becarie an idol of the common people. Prosccution made " him a valgar bero; but the basest behavior, ex- pulsion from Parfiament, incitement of rlots, nfamous libels could not unseat him in tne warm prejudices of women. Numbers of them thought lim a noble martyr, and several ladies of London pronounced him one of the purest. of men, cven after lie had been found guilty ‘of publisning an_obscene poem' upon-thelr seX. Long after his popularity had ‘waned, the wives and sisters of those who refused to rec g- nize him were flattered by his attention, and most unscemly in their bearing toward him, The details of his vonquests, which wonld fill vol- umes; would u:i’gk:e the prurient and amaze the conventional. Not ;Rochester, Saint-Evemont, Gramont, nor any of the elegant profiizates, na: tive’ or forelen, of Clarles 1L’s Court, made greater devastation in the ranks of feminine in- latuation than this lispins blackguard, this Squintig wit, this ill-favored and totally dis- reputable journalist.

Tue man who had slowly mirdered two devoted women pald’ the penalty which crime uprelentiogly exacts. Stella, as he called her, had indeed been his good angel. - He had been wretched with her; he was more wretched without her. As he bad predicted, be dicd at the'top. He passed a whole year with- out uttering a word,—with a dread of seeing any huinan face. He sank into araving lunatic, then Into a helpless idiot, and was buried years aftef he had virtaally died, leaving all his prop- erty to build a mad-house. Is it such menwhom women luve? But let judgment be charitable. A man who could treat good, gentle, devoted Women as Swift treated them must be insane from the first.

That is the question n6w agitating the Board of - Trade. - Some claim that the warehousemen can ‘only ‘charge the present legal rate, while uthers urge that the new rates are only in force from the..time the decree was made public. It 1s_not. forgotten that-the law has fio limitation: on winter storage, so that the warchousemen can charge the new rates all throngh the winter should they so eléct, which would be about 834c for the fivé wionths, intluding _thé'tim¢ during which deligerics must ‘run iwithofit extra'storage. g 7 * Thé leading produce markets were ‘leks ' sctive Saturdny and stexdy, with weaknessin provisions and a downward tendency in grain, In spite of the snow-storm. * The advices from other points were not pecaliarly - cncouraging to holders, and the uncertainty with regard rates - on -grain tended to check speculative activity, while there was little shipping demand, on Siturday last, the ‘elormy weather operating 'ngalost an’ active movement. ‘A falr number of orders came throngh the'mafls, but the attendnnce of buyers in person was'small. Prices weré steady and firm. Groceries were reported quiet, with values -unchanged. Coffees were dealt In very cautlousiy, and, despite thie strong statistical posl- tion of the market, there was an easy. feeling among holders generally, Sugars are in light stock, and with an active trade there is little doubt that prices would advance. “Jtice. teas, and molasses were firm; other lines about stendy. The dried- fruit trade vas ‘qrioted quiet, with prices ranging ‘a8'before. Fish were in’ fafr deémand at former prices. ‘Dullnces sgain pérvaded In_the butter market, and pricca leatcd in buyers' favor.

The snow-storm extends’ over aportion of Miéhigan, ind enoush has zlready fallen to considerably jmprove: the prospect for' getting out & fall crop of logs. The' wool, hay, and hop markets were devold of new features. * Broom~corn remains quiet, and some grades are quoted weak. Seeds wers less active, but: generally firmly held ‘fn view of the prospect of small receipts, ‘Green fruits were ‘qulet. Potatocs, ‘except peacliblows, were dnll 2nd easy. The local demand for poultry was snff- clent to absorb the desirable offerings, and recent prices were generally obtained. Eggs were Srmer. Rail freights were dull and irregular, with no change in asking figures. ‘The nominal rate was 35¢ to New York and 40cto Boston per 100 s of grain, but probably no room taken at those figures. Lake freights were quiet ind uncbenged.

The market opened firm, turned downwards, and reacted towards the close early to the latest pricesof Friday. The reports of stocks showed large quantitfes of pork here, and a material (ncrease in Isrd; but it was under- #tdod that arrangements are made, or belng- made, to take out a good deal of thé property delivered on March coutracts; while thiere wos a better shipping demand, especlally for lard.
