EVENING GERMAN CELEBRITIES A volume has just been issued by an Edin- burgh house picturing the every-day life of several distinguished German authors. Here is some about Jean Paul : “I went at eight in the morning to Jean Paul. A tall, strong, bony figure. like that of a farmer or a forester, entered the roow, dressed in a hunting coat, with a badger’s skin over his shoulder, and leading a white poodle by astring. As we had long been cor respondents we were soon in fall talk {[ spent two evenings with him, the first in his own house, the second at that of Madame Von Kettenburg’s. Not only was a court lady of the name of Stein present on both occasions but the newly married Count and Countess of Henckel Donnersmarck. The wish to appear in the beat light excited Jean Paul, and ac- eustomed as he is only to be listened to, my sudden interpolations interrupted him, ani the consequence was, thet while be proved himself a worthy, truth-loving man, and al- though the conversation turned on the Jead ing men and leading events in church and State, life and literature, I did not hear him utter one significant word, one deep view, one tesult of great inner experience ; his conver sation was throughout wearisome and obscure le aves us the narrative of his daily life as follows : ‘In the summer at six in the winter at eight, I walk about half a mile to Frau Schabonzel’s (an old countrywoman ;) the poodle goes with me; I carry ™my papers and 4 bottle in my badger s skin; there I work and drink my wine ull one o'clock ; then I do not drink again, but from five to seven I drink my beer as long as there is any in the jug.’ ‘For half an hour Jean Pant put us to sleep with receipts for sleeping None of the lightning flashes and scintillations of fancy, the striking similies, or the glowing pictures with which his works abound, appeared in his ecnversation. I left him, convinced that the man whv, as an author, belongs to the dearest and richest minds of Germany, is not therefore necessarily tender and soft-hearted After Jean Paul, I felt most interest about a certain Councilor Kraus In order to get at him, 1 applied to Jewn Paul, baving heard that they had heen friends for years ‘We are old triends, it is true,’ said be, ‘ but now we no longer meet But goto him, and say that although [ never will have any thing to do with bim myself, 1 have sent you to him Accordingly lL went. 1 had togoupa stee] stair, at the top of which was a closed lattice and outside hung 2 long wooden hammer. with an inscription above to this effect: ‘He who will enter must knock hard; if the ham mer ia inside 1 am not to be seen’ So 1 knocked bard, and the door was opened. As I entered « large library—which swarmed with cats of every age and eolor—a friendly old man, a bachelor with silver hair, and in a long dressing-gown, advanced to meet me. After | had playfully delivered Jean Paul s message, we fell into conversation. ‘Jean Paul.’ said he, ‘is a thoroughly upright, fsel- ing, good man, rich in beart and mind, but the blossoms of hig nature will never ripen into fruit; because he has not strength, tho- roughly and scientifically, to master any sub- ject. He knows much, but all he knows is in disorder and confusion, aud now that his own mind can create nothing further, he hus fallen into all sorts of follies.” ’ We make room for the following sketch of Niebuhr. He was impressed by bis first meeting again with Niebubr. A warm political quarrel had, in 1814, separated the two old triends, and though it had jong ago been made up by let- ter, yet they had not since met. From Bonn Perthes wrote to Besser: “1 was prepared for a painful meeting, and should not have wondered at a distant manner or formal bear ing on Niebubr’s part, but the very moment 1 saw him, | found the old heart and the old friend, and there was not a sbadow of reserve between us. His wife had just given birth to her second son, and the three elder children were running about their father’s room, with all their play things ; during our conversation, I was engaged first with one and then with the other of them. *‘ For five days I daily spent several hours with him. Our conversation was almost en- tirely political Niebubr's disposition is very melancholy ; the purer his heart, the deeper luis sensibilstiez, the more he feels the want of some warm cupport for his soul; be figi with uncertainty and quarrels with his lr He said to me, +l am weary of life, only the children bind me toit.’ He repeatedly ex pressed the bitterest contempt for mankiud ; and,in short, the epiritual condition of thix remarkable mun cuts me to the heart, and his outpourings aiternately elevated aud borrified me.

He was 56 years of age, and it su posed the cause of death was an affection of the heart As he was riding along it was noticed that his hat fell from his head to the ground, and that he appeared insensible of the fact. This circum- stance caused sowe one to approach him, when he was found to be perfectly lifeless, thongs he sat erect and rigid, holding the reins wit a firm grasp.” Ap Hlinois editor, speaking of « m gue Seats in the vicinity, says: “* The 1a cal has broke every bank, jail, and Sabbath we have had io this county tor the last ive year .

Her companion, Kodenoleatie teas, who occasionally poses the animals for her, exercises this power in a remarkable man- ner. *o devoted is Rosa Bonheur to the prec- tice of her art, that in the midst of the whirl of Paris she lives like a hermit, being scarce! ever visible except on those occasions in whic! ber celebrity imposes upon her the duty of mingling with society. On such occasions she is unassuming, and although thoroughly at her ease, retiring. Few could guess that she was in the possession of extraordinary powers, who did not observe the great clearness and decision with which her opinion is given on subjects which interest her. Those, owever, who watched her in moments of abstraction. and noticed the depth of the expression of those clear eyes, gazing perhaps upon scenes of animal life far away, would never hesitate to say that she is no ordinary person. She will visit the celebrated cattie fair at Falkirk, and during the time of its continuance she will reside, it is believed, with Mr Wilson of Bankknock, a well known patron of the arts. This gentleman is the possessor of one of her most successful paintings, “The Chalk Wag mer of Limousin.”’ i> The London Times, in an article upon | American Ambassadors,” rays “We way observe, however, en passant, thatthe diplomacy of an American Minister is more Cried in this country than that of any other representative of a foreign power in du bious times Speaking the same —-% and being for all social purposes an English- man, he has to attend public meetings, society and company 8 dinners in London, agrioultu- ral dinners in the country, and te mix with the English public a» well az with English officials Thus in all distuabances of th aal under. standing of the two countries, the American politician has to study the best combination of self-respect with neighborly courtesy. con- sideration to his country, and politeness to this.

When Mr. Webster was over here sume years ago, it was observed that Le approached sometimes nearer to dan gerous subjects than was quite pleasant to his hearers, trusting to the weight and gravity ot bis wind to keep the balance. Mr. Dallas takes the more politic line of keeping ata dis- tance; he wishes success to English agricul- ture, drinks everybody’s health, eulogizes the chairman, and dwells on the common in terests, characteristics aud activities of the two countries * The Times, it will be observed, pays, unin- tionally, the highest possible compliment Buchanan. ten to Mr Tae Mysterious Orcas —About an bour’s journey from Alberesweiler, and in a he: valley lies the village of Eusserth takes its nume from a convent that was once celebrated, but has now completely disap peared.

I should say he was about five feet eight inches in height, and weighs one hundred and forty pounds. His forehead is low. but broad—eyes deep set and very close together—nose (his best feature) long and straight—and nothing either in face or manner to found a favorable opinion upon, in respect either tocharacter or talent An inferior, or at least an ordinary looking man— such a one as among a thousand strangers, would be about the last designated asa ean didate for the Presidency. The luxuriant, brigand development of hair and whiskers which delight the Jessie Clubs in bis pictures are minus in the origiaal, and far from being abundant.
