Mr. J. IL Hace, eaitor of Wallace’s Monthly, who just returned from a European trip, writes as foilows concerning Mr. Livingston: Bofore we reached Florence, in Italy, we bad read somewhere of un eccentric American who cd himself by ‘driving u team of twenty nurses; but we bad; uecepted the statement with muny grains of allowance, and as having origi nated ju the iinnginstion of some enthusiastic newspuper correspondent. On the evening of pur first duy there we took a’drive in the Cas- sine, which. to Florence, corresponds with the Bois de Bologzue to Paris, or tiyde Park to Lon- don. On reaching that beautiful park, the very Uirst object that met our attention was the fumous twenty-horse team, slanding ut re=t, bitched toan English drag, with an’ attendant in livery sitting on the’ box and holding the reins. “There stuod the ten pairs in a string, und all in excellent condition. ‘Ther were buys and light bay browns, with the leaders and the wheel-horses larver than the others and strongly resembling stuutEnztish hunters. The other pairs were carefully graduated in size and color, none being legs than fourteen und 2 bulf or fifteen hands, and runginz from that up to fifteen und a balf. The wheelers and teiders were sixteen hunds or more. ¢ harness and all the appointments were very elaborate, tresh, und peautiful. There was nothing of the circus _Trippery about it, but tothe modern American laste it was probably 1 Httle loo heavy ang itd too great a multiplicity of heraldic mountings insilver. We must bowever, remember tbat if Mr. Livingston's taste bas been at tault in this particular of ornamentation, he is living ina country where the display of wealth and litter is cherished by the people.- When the owner of the team was polnted out to us he was quietly walking about, some distance away, as though studying the eifect of his pets and their trup- pings from different points of view, and how be Iight possibly improve upon the tout ensemble. Upon presenting our card, he very promptly re- 2 turn and we entered into # pleasant con- versztion about his team and what he was aim- ing to accomplish. He lauzbingly replied that he hud no object in the World in driving such a team except bis innate Tondness for horses and a desire to do. whut nobody else could do. He bad not buen in Atherica for thirty years, but he was proud of being.an American’ citizen. He \ souzbt ww indulge bis funcy for driving Dig teams in Paris under the Empire, but be was prohibited. He then tried Viennu, w sported the ribbons over twelve quite pleasantly, ‘or a white, but the nubility soon found that tho nerican’s team was celipsing theirs onthe lic drives, and thes stopped bit. He then up bis residence in Florence, where, he he fs not molested in indutwing bis fancy. found him avery xenial!’ mun and most interesting talker, and it was not very pointed reminders a i after several irom our iriends that we even thought of returning lo the carriage. He anticipated our ren and propused to show us bow he could handle bis team, and at once mounted the box. Here seemed to be the difliculty. for there were twenty reins to be grasped ane manipulated, aod this not only required great strength in the arms, but great dexterity In contricting or exteuding any one rein Without aifecting others, ‘fo belp him in this difficulty we observed that the hand pieces of each pair of reins were a different cotor trom those of any other pair. For example, the reius of the teaders were blue, the next puir orange. the next red, ete. As soon ..3 he had arranged his twenty reins in bis two aands, ata single word the twenty horses stepped off ats brisk walk aif they were all one-hurse. He first circled to the right, and then tothe left, making the Jast sweep on, a cood round trot.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—E bave been greatly inter- ested during the past week inthe newspaper criticlsms upon Mr. Charles Webb’s adaptation of Shukspenre’s charming comedy, “‘i'welfth Nicht,” now being presented by those excellent comedians Robson aud Crane at Hayerly’s The- atre, and ulso in a number of communicanons upon the same subject which have appeared in one of the daily papers. These communications, with one or two exceptions, have not only inter- ested me but have been a sourcoof considerable amusement. Messrs. Robson and Crane come to our city and present what they frankly and unreservedly term an 2daptation of * Twelfth Night.” They do not claim that it is the original version of the comedy, with all its poetic beauty undefiled by the icunoclastic hand of the modern playwright, but simply an adaptation in which are retained such speeches and situations, tozether with such additions and interpolutions asyare ealeulited to secure the end aimed at oy*thi adaptor—namely: to present in the most a tageous position possible two clever comedians wao are recoxnized us tne Jeading expoucuts of. the highest type of lezitimute comedy. As 1 uudersti their announcements, this is all that M Robson and Crane claim. J have utiended two. representations of “Twelfth Night” at Haverty's, and Lean bear testimony to the fact that this.claim bus been fully sub- Stantiated. They do not deny. that clianzes have been made in both the text and situations, but they insist. and very properly too, that the main thread of the story bas been maintaimed, and that in the alterations and additions none of the original beauty of the comedy has been sacrifiged, But they have been guilty of mak- ing an innovation, and for this they have been heartily berated by the | writers of the communications to which l have referred. These fault-tinders hold up their hancs in holy borror and vigorously deprecate what they allege to be a desecration of tne pure Siuctity of Shukspearean traditions. One writer oes even so far as to say that such unballowed work as this isthe prime cause of the present moribund condition of the beautifully poetic dramatic literature evolved by Shukspeare lone years ago, and predicts the ulterdugradation of the staye unless this alleged vandalism is stop- | ped. Now, this strikes me ns insufferable nonsense, in View of the fact that, morally and socially, the .stage today occupies x planc far, above. any that it nus occupied in the past. ‘There hus been no retrogression, although this -| so-cutlod mutilation of Shakspeare’s works has beeu going on for years, until today there is not single original representation of Shakspearcan plays being prescuted to the public... All have becu more or, less altered ana revised, and some — have “even. been mutilated ust, recognition, and yet wo have had none of these gorous protests which have churacterized the asstults upon. Robson. and Crane. ‘There were no protests entered when Miss Neiison presented a version of “Twelfth Night” which Shakspeare himself would hardly have recognized; ‘Speeches. and situations were dragsed in not only from “Cymbeline,” “Measure fur Measure," and other Shakspexrean works, but even from modern comedies, for no other purpose in the world than to bring Miss Neilson promingntly toview. And yet there were no howling protests and charges df Vandalism. Aguin, when Robson and Crane presented a version of the “Comedy of Errors,” in which there were more changes and inter- polutions than in, their present, version of “Twelfth Night,”.. these — selt-coustituted eritics wero silent, and viewed the “mu- their beloved idol with’ the the “Comedy of to immense audiences, and yet uot a single outery was made tilution — of aumains .. Why, then, do they assault * Twelfth Night No one'asserts that Robson and Crane donot give highly-tinished performers of Sir Andrew siguecheek and Sir Toby Belch: nor is it charged that tho play in its entirety Is flat. stale, und unprotitable. On the contrary, it is admit- ted that it abounds. in poetic uty and rich, rare fun; but we must check our inclination to. Jaugh at and admire it, and condemn it because it is not played exactly as Shukspeare wrote it. But Lam forced to the conclusion that some of these critics have enguzed in. this ussuult without first baving posted themselves carc- fully regarding facts. Some of tho statements are most recklesty mude, For instance, one suys that In Mr. Webb's apaptation, Matlvolio’s lines and business bave been reduced and abridged until the character bas been utterly spoiled. On ny second visit to Haverty's Theatre [took tho trouble to arm, wyself with an ancient volume of Sbakspeure’s comedies, and upon cea atien the original text with the lines spoken by Mr. Meredith, J found that not only bad ail the orig- inal words been preserved, but that numerous additions bad been made which served toin- tensily the character of Valvolio and to bring it into bolder relict. This is but n single instanccs,, bunt did space allow 1 could write halt u dozen similar ones to show that these complaining writers huve acted bastily and without curefully exunining into the matter. in conclusion, I would say that I am ardent admirer of Shakspeure and derive a great deal of plensure from reading bis works, but 1 can se# no possible burm to the purity and ndvance- ment of the stage iu presenting his plays in a manag that will please the musses. There is a large element in e community which can find nothing atu 2in Shukspearean plays presented 2s the: ve been within the pust few yeurs. Therefore, if a8 has been the case with Robson and Crane's version of “Twelfth Night,” one of thom ean be so arranged and re- constructed as to draw the attention. of nil classes of theatre-goers,, it is apparent that inuch good will be accomplished: re : ATH TRE-GOER. : WINE-LABELS, A Collector Who Hus Five Mundred ‘Taken from Bottles from Which He Wad Brunk. New York Sun. “T have sat here many a time of a summer twilight sipping Rhine wine,* and [ always think of those quiet, lazy evenings when I Jook at the picture on this label.” The speaker had opened at hazard.a book in which he said about 500 wine-labels were pasted, and he, was pointing to one which presented a. picture of Riidesheim on the Rhine. In the foreground a road winding along the river side led to aruined castle and a little tavern witha garden sloping to the shore, while the hills of the famous Riides- heimer vineyards were seen in the distance. “From here,” he continued, moving his finger over the tavern-garden, watch the sun set over the mountains on the other shore, while the ‘Rhine. ripples in. the gentle breeze and the leaves in yonder vine- yard tremble iu the roseate light. ‘Then, too, you can hold up your glass and let the sun- set glow through the amber wine. fs “Here, again,” he continued, turning over several pages and pointing ‘out the labels he referred to, *;is a good picture of the Cathe- drab at Worms. It comes: from a bottle of Liebiraumileh, a wine which grows near the famous old town, Ilere you see the vine- yardof Rauenthal; here is the villa whieh crowns the vineyard - of | Johannisberg. If you will look through this book you will find pictures of the most celebrated yineyards on the Rhine; and in the litte taverns you sce in some of the pictures £ have sat looking out cver the river, and urinking of the very bottles from which these labels came.?” As he continued turning over the leaves the reporter noticed a label of Johannis- berger wine, which he asked to look at more- elosely. It represents .a_ cloister vault. Four fat, jolly-looking priests ‘ouped near of Johann berger. One is. sitting on a‘ pile of thick folios, Jifting with one hand a. luge bumper full to the brim, while with the other he cautions « fellow recluse, who is at the tap, against tilling s to overilowing. An- other is leaning against the tank, while the fourth, with “hands folded 2s though: in er, is gazing heavenward, his’ face serene with Joy and gratitude for his share of the precious beverage. ‘The collector smiled as_he looked at the label and said: “That picture comes from a te mentioned in ai anecdote told by no person than Bismarck of Prince Met- ternich, the famous Austrian Prem! one of the Rothschilds. When Mette was passing through Frankfort on his way to Johannisberg he met Bismarck, who then represented Prussia in the German Diet. Metternich’ took osuch a liking to Aismat that he invited him to “go to nisberg. Before leaving Frankfort, M ver, they visited Rothschild, who in- sisted on putting up lunch ina basket for them. Johannisberg is not a great distance from Frankfort, and Metternich and Bismarck Jett the Junch untouched... When they un- packed the basket in Johannisberg they found six bottles of the finest vintage of Johannisberger, which Metternich had sold to Rothschild ‘two years before. ‘The Prince at once summoned. his steward, ‘¥or how much did we sell this wine to Rothschild ?? he asked. * For fifteen guilden the bottle, you! ccliency,’ answered the steward. -* Very well,’ replied Metternich, ‘whenever he wishes to buy of the same vintage put these bottles in the lot, but sell them at eighteen guilden the bottle, because, tha wine will have improved with age? A’ year later the wine was actually resold to Rothschild, and this label comes from one of those bottles.” ‘The: collector then showed the reporter some labels, with pretty conceits and deli- cate designs, One had the name of the vint- age printed in gold letters on a white back- ground, while at either side tendrits of grape- | vine twined around a goiden goblet. Other labels’ were green and shaped like grape Jeaves, and were suid to’ look very pretty on bottles. One design displayed fifteen shades of color. It was ona bottle of wine which came from the favorit Rhine ge of the late Emperor of Russia. It showed the Russian eagle on gold ground and numerous shields with coats-ofarms of the principal Russian nobles. Bismarck’s favorit wine is labeled .with “an ex- cellent - portrait of the Chancellor, and the favorit wines of the German: Emperor and other notables are similarly. desig- nated. One _Jabel shows the portraits of both Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort. ‘The designs for the Rhine clarets are in gold and red, and among them is 2 picture of the Loreley looking down into the river, which reflects the red glow of the setting sun. In vino Veritas” is written on one Jabel, and on another the German version of * Who does not love wine, woman, and song Remains a fool his whote life long. ¥ Some designs show luscious grapes and juicy leaves. « ' ‘The reporter saw one label with the fol- Jowing verse in German: ‘To tho protectors of the Rhine His tieriest wine! ; “That label,” said the collector, “recalls a yery festive oveasion, 1 happened to be in in Wiesbaden when the Eightieth Regiment» ot the Prussian army returned. after the Franco-German War. The regiment: was feasted at the city’s expense under the large oak trees that line the principal streets. “1. wine merchant presented 1,000 bottles of wine for the occasion, and that label is one ofthem. Whenever. look ‘at it, I think of the Prussian soldiers drinking to the healths of Bismarck and ¢ fis Es the Kaiser, and’ break! out into loud hurrahs atter each draught.” “How is it,” asked the reporter, “that we do not see such pretty labels as you collected in Germany in this country 2” . “Partly from the reason that the wine is imported Here in casks, and the merchants dou’t cure to use -any but plain labels, and partly. because the finest. wines rarely comes. here at all. You ‘sce some. of the _most famous vineyards are. owned by Princes and noblemen who sell buta small part of the Vintage;, and what they do sell is put up in first-class style, bottle, seal, label, and-all. Then, too, the small-wine- growers take pride in their vineyards. and like to have their bottles prettily labeled. “f consider 2 collection of wiue-labels more interesting (to the collector at least) than ‘a/collection of cards. Cards can be bought, but “many of the wine- ‘labels < can’ - only. got from, one bottles. ‘That-has been my experience: and other collectors will corroborate me: 1 col- Jected’so many because ten years ago I made the tour of the Rhine on foot with some Ger min ‘friends, yr J drank wine under particularly p! i nad the bottle so: +4 the label taken off. Now, whenover I look over this:collection I. can recall all these pleasant ‘eireumstances;~ so, that- while to some .these hitbels present only ‘pretty pictures and designs, they brine back to me some of the happiest incidents of my life. ‘There is hardly a label in the book that didn’t come off a bottle I helped to empty in com- ced in-warm pany with friends from whom I have been. sepdrated these ten years, These friends also made. collections then, bani if is pleasant to. feel that, perhaps they think’ of me when they look over their books. It’s also quite pleasant to know, when you see sume ie labels, e hundred that there'is scarcely aw wine represented of which you | ve not tasted.” Here he ddoked at a label of. the: Stein- berger cabinet vintage; then he putsed_ his lips, rolled “his cheeks, and throw back his head, ts though he were really draining a glass of the golden wine. Aiter this panto- mime he smaeked his lips quite audibly. AUCLION SALES. By GEO. P. GORE & C0., 2K und 216 Madison-st GEO. P..GORE & CO., 214 & 216 Madison-st., Wan SELL AT AUCTION _ MONDAY,.
