BIBELOTS. The French Passion for Cu- riosities., EXCITING SCENES AT THE HOTEL BROvOT. Antique Pottery—Bernard Palissy and the Lady of Boissy. Paris, April 10, 1875. Tuere is nothing, perhaps, which more sarprist end mystifies the orainary class of American visi- tors to Paris than the mania lor bivelots, or, a8 we should cail them in English, ‘curiosities,’ witn- oul, however, attaching to them the full signif- cance implied by the word, and they naturally ask themselves Why articles apparently 60 useless should in a practical age like the present be dis- puted with an almost insane earnestness and pushed up to prices that would be fabulous were ‘hey not of daily occurrence. Many even of our compatriots, whose education and pursuits quality them to understand and share the general enthu- #iasm for the chess-d’euvre of painting and sculp- ture, have not as yet arrived at a comprehension of this European furor for old pottery, glass, Wood carvings, prints, miniatures, manuscripts and otuer time-worn relics, ENTHUSIASM FOR THE ANTIQUE—WHY? ‘These extravagant prices, this enthusiasm for musty débris, tuis insanity of veneration tor things @ot always beautiful in form or attractive in ae- Valls, are due to two very distinct and different Causes. One Is the positive and natural interest Which is attached to these souvenirs, and which results from the faithful picture which they pre- Went to us of distant ages; the other ls the weakness, common to many mind;, of resenting competition and of pushing beyond the bounds of reason we desire Of acquisition, The first of these senuments ex- Plains itself by the spirit of research and analysis Which distinguishes our epoch. We seek io re- ascend to the sources of ali things. History is no » longer a mere recital of national events, It aims at arriving at a correct idea of the characters of those who have taken a leading part in them and at tracing the causes, not merely of the political, but social revolutions which have marked each stage Of progress or civilization. What vaster or more attractive field of investigation can, in fact, offer itseif to our research than the precious triflea Which exhibit to us an ancient people in their Works and which reveal to us their nabita and customs? ‘Ihe arts, taken in their general sense, are an exact expression of the lite of communities, ‘Therefore, this apparently futile study of the Sragilo works of @ past age 1s in reality the study Of progress; tor by their aid we are enabled to re- Constitute in our minds a state of society and an order of ideas far removed from cur own, A Bmall vase found in a tomb, @ remnant of @loth or carpet or the carved handle of a kaue, tells us more of the condition of the arts at @ particular epoch than all the writings and lectures of professing Savans, What more eloquent dissertation, tor instance, could have been presented tous on the Vanity of our modern boastings than the statue exhibited on the Champs de Mars in 1867 (Exposi- tion Universelie, section |’Egypte), representing King Schattra, and dating 4,000 years previous to ourown era? What more convincing evidence Bould be aaduced of the state ol the arts atanepoch Atwhich we scarcely placed the creation of the world, and which opens in these early ages a vast and almost entirely unexplored field of research? | Is it not a sufficient justification of the eagerness With which the learned and curious compete at * public sales for relics which are calculated to en- lighten their doubts, corroborate their theories or fusure the triumph of their ideas’ Is not the Bistory of ancient institutions or ancient arts as Interesting as that of ancient wars? To the Student and thinker it is infinitely more so, for tt embraces the history of all classes, and, througn the medium of their works and art creations, fur- Rishes us with the means of correctly appreciat- fog their progress. THE CONGREGATION AT THE HOTEL DROVOT. In these facts isto be found the explanation of the main cause of the affluence of the crowds ‘Which aally attend the auction sales at the Borel Drouo:. Those who may be termed “the privi- Jegea of mind” are also frequently the privileged Of fortune, and can afford to satisty their ta: at almost any price. ©ourse, that ali coliections of value are seat to Paris jor sale, thatan army of agents and dealers are constantly employed exploring the Continent for O/delots Bud antiquities, apd that there are but few of tue productions of past ages on which the Attention of collectors is fixed of which samples Bre pot tobe jound at the pubdiic sales or in the curiosity shops of the French capital, Let it nos be assomed, however, that there is anytning peculiar tu our epoch in this passion, The richin | ges Lave manifested the same desire to possess themseives of tne relics of former times, ‘the Roman Datricians imported at great expense the brass "ases and marbio statues of Greece, tne carpets And rich stuis of Asia, and, in the time of Augus- Sue, Horace censared bis compatriots for tueir ex- travagant tastes in regard to antiquities, It is Rarrated that ORarles the Bald, eo of Charie- Magne, aesirous of honoring in @spectal manner the monks of the Abbey of St, Denis, made them a present of a banap, which, it was pretended, haa belonged to Solomou, in short, if 1 dosired to @stabdiish tho fact by 1urther historical examples, I | could cite thousands, which prove the taste waich existed ip ail ages ior collections of this kind. THE COMPETITION OF PURCHASERS, Let us now speak of the other influences to Which this fever of competition isto be attrib. Qted. 1¢ 1s sufcient for any articie to be rare to insure its being coveted, aod those who fad bus littie trinsic value to an artic! med vy al tiquarians will oiten set their hearts upon it, pre cisely Jor the reason that itis desired by others. ‘This opposition, of course, stimulates the fanati- ism of collectors, aud they are capabie of any sore of folly when they Ond an artcic to which Shey attach either a reai or sentimental vaine contes: Thas, between the bidder that knows and the bidder that expects to know, the Worth of a vase oF an antique gem, +i Mtroggie becomes so keen that it speedily degen erates into @ question of amour propre, or of pas- sionate resentmedt that nothing but the posses. wom of the dispated object ean satisfy.

His figures are all simple; bis attitudes novie, and full of quiet dignity; bis costumes elegant, and his color subdued. He is scarcely less to be ad- mired in the material execution of his works. His coat of enamel 1s thin, delicate, and of 4 transparency of tone which reminds one at once of Perlan marble andtivory. After his death his nephew Andrea and Andrea’s four sons continued to execute works in the same style, but not of the same excellence. They preserved, it Is troe, Luca’s secrets of manipulation, but their designs were inierlor in grace and purity, and tuey preferred amplitude of detail to simplicity. The difference in the estimate formed of their works by connoisseurs is, therefore, easy to be comprenended.

As I am writing on the subject of tne plastic arts, I must not omit to notice the eagerness witn which collectors hunt upevery stray relic of Bernard Valissy, tne humble potter, who, al- though he modestiy styled himself “a worker in clay” and spent many years of bis life in pov- erty and hardships, was not the less a great artist and prolound thinker. ‘fo nim geological acieace is largely indebted, tor while he moulded the admirable works which constitate the pride and boast of the leading European museums at the | present day, he was closely investigating the en- trails of the earth, and to nis researches may | be said to be due the first idea of the artesian | well. it was only after sixteen years of the hardest lavor and of unheard of dificuities that no succeeded in producing the beauttiul works walch obtained tor him the title of “‘Inventeur des Rus- uques Figulines du Roi,”? with a world-wide repu- tation and the tranquillity of mind induced by easy | collectors should exhibit a passionate eagerness to possess themselves of everythinggthat iasued | from his hand, the more especia.ly when we take into consideration the stimulus imparted to their | taste by the admirable specimens of his creations | which were exhibited recently at the Palais Légia- lati, Foremost among these was THE FLAGON BELONGING TO M. DE ROTHSCHILD, and which is so marvellously modelled that it seems due rather to the chisel of Benvenuto Cellini than to the mould of the humble potter. At that same exhibition was to be found the largest col- lection of specimens jrom the manufactory or | Oiron that probably was ever belore brought together. Who ‘toat had the good fortune to ex- | amine it can ever Jorget the beautiful cap of Henri Il, which excited such general admiration and which was one of the chief objects o1 attrac. tion in the collection? And yet the manufaciory which produced it was fora long time ignored, and is still unknown to many amateurs and col- lectors.

It 1s only a few weeks since | announced to you the dawn of a great dramatic reputation in the success achieved by the Vicomte de Bormer at the Théatre Frangais.

Scarcely has the excitement produced by this event ainong theatre-goers cooled down a little thyn it has been revived by another similar piece of good fortune which has befatfen a writer still younger than M, de Bornier, and who, like him, suddenly finds himseif famous, M. de Porto- Riche, the author of the “Drame sous Philippe 1L,’? which had such an unqualified success on Wednesday last at the Odéoo, is not more than twenty-four or twenty-five years of age, and was scarcely known, except as a poetaster and | asthe son of a millionnaire. It is to tais latter jact, 1 presume, that was due the unusual care that was lavished on the mounting ol the piece and which rendered itone o! the most historically exact as regards costumes and accessories that have been seen upon the stage of late years. Ar- tists and decorators were sent to Spain to study the styles and fashions of the epoch, | and an amount of expense was incurred which the pecuniary resources of the management | would scarcely warrant, ‘he piece was tnerefore scenic effects were concerned, and as regards the cast there was but little to find iauit with, the parts being ail distributed with judgment with, perhaps, a solitary exception. 1tis saia—{ know not with how much trutu—toat the plot is based ona tragical episode which occurred in Mexico some twenty-five or forty years ago, and that it has been adapted to the time of Philippe Il. in order that the author might be enabled to give fuller play to his fancy. Jn this transposition he has displayed an ingenuity and boidness which augur well for his continued success as a play- wrigor, toougn it will expose him to the censure of sticklers for historical truth, Tne story, as he bas constructed it, may be tous briefly told:—The heroine of the piece, Donna Carmen a’Aicala, is married to an old grandee, who might be her fatnee and who 18 distinguished for nothing but bis loyalty to the Crown, He has a friend to whom he is very much attached, Don Miguel de la Cruz, and who falls in love with his wile. His passion is returned by Donna Carmen, | but the lovers do not transcend the bounds of | Platonic aitachment. The King (Philippe IL), | who bas reached his forty-second year unscathed by the arrows of Cupid, suddenly tukes it into his head to become enamored of the Duchess, and as he is not @ monarch who easily allows nimself to be thwarted he cejermines to send the old Luke, her husband, on a mission to the Duke of Alva, in | Flanders, trom which, a8 it is iraught witu peril, he is 1m Hopes be may not return.

First came the successor of Severn D, Moulton as Tax Com- missioner in the person of John N. Hayward, lor the confirmation of whose nomimation Alderman McCarthy made @ formal motion.
