OF PRAXITELES’. ondence New York World. A friend arrived to-day from Greece, and Dbrought mea small photoeraph of the Iast statue found at Olympia, Hewas present when it was discovered. Itis the beautiful Hermes of Praxiteles of which Psusanias speaks when he tells of the statucs in the Hercum, or Temple of Juno, the most important temple in the Altes after that of Zeus, Pausanias. says, after mentioning over the sevenicen statucs in zold and ivo “They have placed likewise otlier statues in the Herieuns, namely : a Hermes in warble, holding on his arm Dionysos, who is an infant: it is a work of Pravitcles.”! My dfriend tells me that the drapery on which the cnild is scated is the most perlect ever modeled and chiscled. The hauds also of the statue are exquisitely wor You can see the veins and indications of mu: cles. The fleshiness is remarkable. The pho- tography represents a fizure something like the Avoilo “Saurokionos, or_lizard-slaser of the Vatican, which is believed to be one of the few truly Greek works i Rome. Hermes bas the same graceful bend of the body, but the head is siner; the hair is beautifully bandled; the close curls cling to the exquisitely shaped bead. It is the most perfect statue that has yet been found in the excavations of Olvmpia; and, as it was dis- covered in the Heraum, we know positively that it is the work of Praxiteles. I questioned my friend as to the impression the statue made on him when he first saw it. He said it was go lfe-like in its dnish and effect that he felt as be would in the presence of a stranger who was so_beautiful as to excite admiration, and yet respect prevented staring, which act would scemn indecorous. After much question- ing about this lovely Hermes, and close exami- nation of the photograph, I can sce that the tin- ish must be of a higher degree than we find on the Phidian worl Quintilian _praised Praxit- cles for tue natural character of his statues, and that is what my friend sars of the Hermes —it is life-like. Praxiteles stood at the head of the Iater Atticschool. Pausanias placed him in the third gencration aiter Alcamenes, the disciple of ~ Phidins. Vitruvius gives him as late & date as D. 350." He and Scop.as were masters of the Greels school of fin- and expression, where the ideal of sensual charms was sought for by the artist—the per- feet representation of soft and youthful beauty. The Cupid Centocelle, that lovely torso calted the Genius of the Vatican, is also attributed to Praxiteles. 1f not by him, it is by a £00d copy- {st, for you sce the same type in 1t that s in the Hermes of the Hermum of Olympis, Hi the only knowlede we have had of this statne of Hermes, veyond the description Pausuius fave of it, was obtained from a bas-reliel and a vase paitting; now we are placed face to face with the statue it<elf, and are sure that we are looking at an actual work which came from the c{lisc] of the celebrated Greek sculptor rraxit- eles. GUSTAVE DORE, Appletons’ Journal for Mai. Gustave Dore is about to reveal to the public another phase of his singularly-original and creative taleot. He i3 now at work behind closed and guarded doors on his contribution to the Exhibition. It isa colossal vase, some sixteen feet in height, of a flask-shape, and cov- ered with fizures in {ull relief, representing “The Triumph of the Vine.” Orver the whole surface of the vase swarm nymphs, satyrs, children, intermingled with fruits und flowers, aud strange shapes of inscct sud apimal life. It is a wild and graceful fautasy, a mass of animated tficures, a thronz of strange, visionary beings and nccessories. Yet -in the whole there is meither crowding nor confusion. Fair nymphs sit poised upon the slope of the vase, chubby children c¢hmb and swing amid the trailing sarlands, and satyrs &kip up its sides with all the awility that their goat-limbs can Jend them. Around the base cluster child-forms at play with colossal types of wsect-life. One plump little fellow lies on bis back, hugring to his breast a gimantic fly thas is half as large as lic is bimself. Two naked urchins are contending with an equally huge spider, and one little feliow, in no wise daunted by the repulsive aspect of his adversary, is pushing the creature away with bis dimpied foot. Another holds a field-mouse by the tail, and uses all bis best efforts to keep his" captive from cscaping, And—pretticst fancy of ali—one charming urchin lics asieep with a colossal butterfly hovering above bim, and just 10 the act of kissing his baby lips. It would takeavolume to describe ail the figures—the fruits. the flowers, the varied imagery—wherewits this sizanticvase 1s literal- Iy covered. Iitook all the creative force of Dore’s talent, and all bis unexampled rapidity of exccution as welk to bring this remarkable work to such a point of perfection in 50 short a time. What will be its destiny? for onlr a sovereign or an archi-milhenaire could afford the pussession of sus I, or owna hall sufficiently large to give it a ficting home. The present model is in plaster; cast in bronze, the work will be worth some $20,000. —— HUMOR.

SwissvALE, Pa., May 2.—Tn a reeent issue of Tuz Trinusg, you copy from the New York Sun a descrintion of the hail of the House of Commons, which says: “ The length is 75 feet; width, 45 fect; and height, 14 feet.”? The “ 147 must be a typographical error, and the writer probably said 114, . If the coup is only 73 fect lone and 45 wide,—and this scews to me about right,—it must be over 100 high, or my impres- sions were all wrong. When I stepped into tie cazre, I felt as if I was in a well, or a clothes- oress. The walls are so dark, and so bedaubed with ornamentation, that the sides scem to close iu on one, and the ceiling is 6o faraway that one looks up at it as to the top of a white pine. In tne House of Lords, I bad shocked the polite policeman by sittine down, to have a good rest and a little think, on one of the glar- ingr red moroceo cushions very near the Throne, ana trying the equally rea and shiny accom- modations of the long, stiff, high-backed benches or pews, so arranged that every Lordship must turn bis shoulder to Royalty if he should sit down in the august presence; but the good- natured attendant did not tale it amiss tnat I made myself comfortable in the House of Comnionz, Jeaned over on my elbow to see up to the ceiling, and tried to gut used to the idea that one brancn of the British Parliament did actually meet in that cupboard. When I asked him how manv members there were, and what they did with them all; if they sat on cach other's knees: If they vacked some under the benches, or strung them on wires up near the top, Ihad to turn my head as far back as. pos- sible and to ook for any means of stor lose under the ceiling; he laughed and said, 0O a'am, we don’t Liever "ave hall ’ere hat once!

JANE GREY SWiSsurLy. A SOINDY IN TIIE BRITISI PARLIA~ They had a lively time in the British Palia- ment over the shooting of Lord Leitrim by some of hisevicted teoants. Mr. O'Donnell, one of the Irish members, called the attention of the House to the extraordinary action of the Governmeut since the murder, in drawing a cordon around Donegal and othersrise futerfer- fug with the liberty of the people there; and he moved a resolutiou to the effect that this con- duct was unconstitutional and calenlated to foster disbelief in the impartiality of the Jaw. To illustrate this point, he begzed the House to consider a hypothetical case, substicuting En- elish names of personsand places for the actual ones. Said ho: : Imagine that a terrible ontraze had been com- mitted in a quict deil in Cumberland, fu the midst of a population conspicuous for its law-abiding virtues: that a landlord and two servants had been suddenly attacked ana mardered: that what was Delfeved to have been a happy English district had for years beea practically At thy mercy of one who, by the lsmentable rhoricominge of the English Land Inw, had been enzbled to_exccate the caprices of a barbaric staze of civilization by meuns of the chi- canery of nineteenth century legul procedure: that for a auarter of a century thivse Cumberland dales- men had been exposea to all-tne tyranny and mental and moral torture of & man of iron will, of violent passion, and of dissolute life: that villages had been clearcd of inlabitants, and the doom of eviction was continuaily banging over others; and thst, in_epite of all this, the district bad never becn staincd by an offense Of an agrarian chrac- ter, and that no attempt had been nade on this Cumberiand landlord. except by the uncle of a girl he had sttempied to disnosor. [** Oh," and ** Shame. ] It would, under these circamstances, strike every Englishman as being in the higheat degree unlikely that an nocent and patient peas- antry who had borne all this for & quaricr of & cen- tury, had entered into a widespread conspiracy to murder this Jaudlord, Wwho was_known (hrough- out the country as *the bad Earl,™ [Cries of U order Here o violent storm broke out, but the Speaker ruled that Mr. O'Donnell was within his right, and he continued nis speech amid con- stant interruptions. He reiterate his charee that “these debaucheries hud been practiced, not only by the wiles of seduction, but by the meaus of the autbority and power of the innd- Jord to threaten and inflict eviction if peasant, girls would not submit to dishonor,”—but at. this point 2 member called out to the Speaker, *I see stranzers in the House.” The Speaker, according to rule, put the guestion whether strangers should beordered to withdraw; it was carried by 57 to 12, and the reporters picked up their note-books and departed. For three hours and a guarter the House remafned in secret ses- sion, and no doubt the whole trath was told. But what was the good of attempting to sup- press all reports of the debate! The papers the next dar contained the substance of it, and the only effect of the attempted suppression will be to still further impress the Irish with the belfef that an English Parliament cannot do them justice. THE NICHE OF THE FOUR SAINTS. [Translated from a French Journal, for The Tridune, WE. 8] In Florence, near the Place de la Seigneuric, in the ever-animated street which conducts to Sainte Maric des Fleurs, Is secn a square edi- fice, without tower or dome. Notwithstanding its elegance, this does not attract the especial attention of travelers, unless they observe the nicies on all sides, contaiving maguoificeut statucs, among which are the St. George of Donatello and the St. Eticone ot Ghiberti. One of the most curious groups isin aniche facing the north, and cousists of four figures, whom the Florentines simply call “The Four Saints.” Before describing them, it will be better to re- callina few words the history of the monu- ment itself, which bears the pame of Or San Michele, and whose site was occupied, at the end of the thirtecnth century, by an zncient church dedicated to St. Michel. On the rums of this a buildicg was ereeted for the eale of grain, which was destroyed by fire, and re- built in 1804; and, as "a protection _from further disasters, a figure of the Virgin was painted on onc of the columns. This holy object became the urincinat attraction of the building, and as numerous cares were attributed thereto, crowds assembled before it at all hours of theday, and it was soon resolved to convert the market into a church. The first architect was_Taddeo Gaddi, who was succeeded by Andren Orcagna, and most of the tabernacle bears evidence of the wonderful genius of the latter. - The most prominent art- ists were_cousulted regarding the decoration of Or San Michele, and renowned sculptors en- gaged to complete statues of saints to fill the exterior niches. Among these, the scuiptor Nanni was emploved, who conc.ued that, instead of executing n sinzle statue, as in the other niches, he would make four of thctime of Dio- cletfan, as follows: Saints Claudic, Nicostrato, i, and Castoria. Ii is rclated that Vanni completed the statues, he regretted haying uudertalicn the task, tor, wrn his saints as he would, only three Would enter the narrow space assigned to them. 4nd one was alwa outside. As the four INartyrs were in- scpurable, and the programme was ** All or noue.” Nanni consulted the great Donato, who, after looking at riche and <tatues, burst ioto a hearty tau, * L thou wilt give 3 good dinner to me and wy pupils,” €aid be to Nanni, 1will place thy Jonr saints fn_the niche.” 14 will readily be frained that Nanm promised the dinner. Donato took ofl the arm of ove fig- ure, shurtened that of 2eother, and installed alt the Sailits easily in the niche.—forming an ad- mirable group, without any mutilations: being visible to the eye. Nanvi Joyfully paid the din- ner, on which oecasion the “adventure created great mernment. and the Tete of the Four Saints is celebrated on the 8th of November every year,—that being thc date of their instal- Jation'in the niche by Donato. Flowers are fes- tooued without and within, and lights sleam in every conceivable space,—presenting a rare sccve of bezuty, as Floralg chotcest offerings are always selected for the occasion. Below the niche is a charwing Las-relief, and on the angles of the base are the arms of the “Arte de Fabri- canti.” CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER ON LIMBURGER CHEESE. When we got aboara at Mayence, we were conscious of a dreadful odor somewhere. Asit was a foggy morning, we conld see no cause of it, but concluded it was from something on the whatf. The foe lifted, and we got under way; but the odor traveled With us, and increased. We went to every part of the vessel to avoid it, but in vain. - It occasionally reached us in great waves of disazrecableness. We had heard of the oaors of the towns on the Rbine, but we had o idea that tne entire stream was infected. 1t was intolerable. The day was lovely, and the passengers stuod on the deck holding their noses and edmiri the sceuery. The sweet Rhine!

To the Ediror of The Tribune. Cnicaco, May 3.—On reading the sketch of the life of Adah lsaacs Menlken,in a recent Tris- TNE, it brought to my mind the following lines that 1 cut out of a London paper over two years ago. They were probably the last poetic effusion she ever venned. By ineerting them, they may serve as a beacon-light to warn the fast woman of the end she will surely come to if she persists in her downward course of ruin. A CoNsTANT READER.

C., May 8.—Frauk Moulton, of Brooklyn, is in Washington. The New York Herald ot yesterday had a dispateh from Roches- ter, N. Y., contaming an_interview with Henry Ward Beecher’s agent, a Mr. Pond, to the effect that & conspiracy existed between Tilton and Moulton. The idea was that Moulion and Tii- ton had intrusted their confidences to a third party, who had delivered Jeiters to Beecher's lawyers that would prove au sllered conspiracy of Tilton and Moulton to ruin Beecher. Your correspondentswooped upon Moulton as hecame out of the Treasury Department, where he said he had been to purchase bonds, aod the fol- lowing took place: Reporter—"Let mg ask you, Mr. Moulton, about that report in the MHerald from Roch- ester.” Moulton—*' I have just read it, and_have not thought anything about it. Neither do I want to talk about {t, for 1 am in Washington on other business.”} Rep.—* But 1 want to know about it.”? Moulton—* Then find out in your own wa¥.

The man was kitled. There won’t be any libel-suit brought by Beech- er, and o friend of bis or enemy of ming, or anybody on the face of God’scarth, has uny doc- ument or documents to showr that I entered in- to a conspiracy with Tilton or any oue else 1o ruin Beecher’s reputation.

THE VOICES OF AMERICAN WOMEN. ZLosion Post, At the meeting of the Ladies’ Physiological Tostitute yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Aunie D. C. Hardy rcad a letter from the Rev. E. E. Hale on the subject of the volces of American women, which has a peculiar interest on ac- couat of its subject, its cntertaining manner, and its authorship. The letter is as follows: Dean Mrs. Hanor: What Ienid to the ladies in church after your reading was. in substance, this: 1 value such instructions as Mrs. Hardy's aad those of the school of teachers which she represcnts. be- canse | nope they may improve in the course of time the b voices to which my countiywomen are now trained. ascribe it mostly to_the havits of our large schoola; some people ascribe it to the dryness of our climate; wnalever be the reacun, the fact is that most American women talk with a surill.voice, and if they wish 10 pui power, seek it by sharpeming the note, or Acreaming, Fatner than by giving more volnme, 1 remember_at the great dining-saloon of the Baner au Lac Hotel in Zurich, bota the largest and finest dining hall 1 ever ew, when 500 people were dining at once at their difierent tables, L could single out my Own countrywomen in all parts of the nall, mo matter what their. cistance,, by the shrill sell, more or less nasal, with which they summoned the' wait- crs, ordercd soup,-zsked for & nupkin, or passed froin pastry to 1ce-cream.

Epwarp E. UALE, ECLASSIC COSTUMES IN LONDON. ‘The rebeilion against conveutionality zoes on apace in fashionable London. One lady has made a notable experiment in the way of re- viving classic costumes. She juvited alarge company, in which every lady was to be dressed in classical Greek style. Nearly elhty ladles appeared, all in this dress, the gentlemen being in ordinary evening dress. The hostess had been animated by a'desire to introduce the ancient Greek costume info English drawing- rooms, but ic fs probable she wili be little encouraged by the results of this firsg attempt. Mr. M. D. Cooway writes: “Thpe Philistines bave already built up a Iarge mythology about these fair Greek in- surgents. One story, for instance, s, that a lovely girl, being asked what ber upper rarment was, replied, **a popular,” the supposition be- ing that she meant her peplos or peplum. Of course Mre. Grundy has told her catalogue. of the exposures of Gesh and figure for Which she nas such a keen eve. But, in fact, the general effect of the scene was marred because Mrs. Grundy had so Jargely been employed by the ladies as their dressmaker. Only a few Jadies had the couraze to dress anything like the Greek ladiesof antiquity; the majority had ssmply worn the costume over thick English umjlerga.rmeuts& which made it about as attraetive as if it ha been stretehed over wires and wax at one of the Alexandria costume-exhibitions. This necessity r Was ospecially cruel where the lady happened to be stout. The ancient Greek costime was based upon an honor, not to say reverence, for the fe- male form, which has no existence fn _Eneland. 1ts object was to display that form, not to dis- rln_y ltsell. However, the experiment is_one ncident of the strueele which the long Puri- tanized middle-class of England is making_to emaacipate itself from the Holy Empire of Ug- diness which has so long heid its ron_sceptre over the North, and which seems to bave made the lower classes over into its organic subjects.” SHE SATD'SO.

TRIPLETS. Indianavoitx Journal, A short time ago, when a woman in New “York City gave birth to triplets, conspicuous meation of the fact-was made in the New Yorlk papers, and a subscription was at once started to reward and encourare the mother. The event seems to have excted the emulation of o good woman in Mooroe Courty, this State, who lias gone and dooe likewise. We rezard this as another indication of returning prosperity. With a settled curreney, good crops, solid roads, and a rupidly increasing population, In- diaua will soon recover from the effects of hard times. It Is not stated that a subscription has been started for the Monroe County mother, but the father bas signalized his approvai of the event by couferring on the children the Serip- tural names Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednezo. ‘The fact that one of the children is a girl might be tuought by some to militute against the adoption of these names, but they are so insep- arable in history and rua so trippinely on the tougue that it would never do to separate them any more than it would do to divide Shem, am,-aud Japhet.
