10 r* eesti LITERATURE. a CASTELAR ON BYRON. 0 Loxp Bynon, Np Orme Saercurs, By Emilio WCastelar. Translated by Mrs. Arthur Arndld, Lon A don: Tinsley, 1875, id | Here at last is the long heralded Castelar’s “Life/of | Fyron” rendered ingo English by a competent,band. | *0 those who have been expecting new revelastons con- serning the world farnous poet, his biography, bis sup wresved memoirs or bis life-work, this sketchy but brill: | Bot volume will bring only disappointment, But to | jhose who relish brilliant generalization, eloqwent and | netaphorical touches and the high poetic treatment of 1 poetic theme, Castelar’s briet book will be welcome, | sowever great a misnomer it may be to style it s biography. Out of 346 pages of the London edition fess than half, or only 179 pages, are occupied with Lord Byron. The other materials, fitly denom- wated “sketches” ip the title page, are brilliant char- scterizations of four eminent Frenchmen and one wallan transplanted to France—Victor Hugo, Alexan- tre Dumas, Emile Girardin, Adolphe Thiers and Daniel Manin. Passing over these essays, which have been | yablished mm other forms, let us come to what Castelar das to say of Byron, His book is prefaced by a grand- Qoquent introduction by José R. Leal, of Havana, which Mrs. Arnold bas thought proper to render ‘rom the original edition, but which might better have ‘cen left out Castelar’s preliminary sketch of the wiormy birth, infancy and childhood of Byron seizes he inain points of his strange biography and brings the picture before the reader's eye with great force of «pression, Witness the fellowing:— This stormy fireside; this rebellious birth; this qpendthrift’ father; this assassin uncle; this mother | embittered by disappointment, the sweetness of whose | #ex had been pierced by the thorns of her sorrow; this | blood, boiling and agitated like the troubled seas over which wandered the Normans; this cradle, rocked by | despair and watered by tears; this decay of an illus- | trieus line, which threatened extinction in its lost | representative; this accidental lameness, to which the | cruel shaft of ridicule made him keenly sensitive; all these influences, acting on a naturally sensitive nature, inspired the eternal elegy embodied in his verses, like she contipuation of the first bitter cry of bis existence, Castelar bimself, in hia second chapter, speaks mod- estly of the task he has undertaken, and claims no ful- | filment in it of what the world has long looked for with impatience—namely, a work on the life of the port which shall be, so to speak, monumental, “a book which would throw a new and a greater light on this great mind, and be for it almost aresurrection.” Such a book, he thinks, had she been worthy, might have ‘been written by the Countess Guiccioli, that beautifu treature who so fascinated Byron in the last few years of bis existence, and whom be depicts in the following language: — | And, indeed, that woman, who met the poet | half way in his career, when aimost maddened by wild passions and desperation, when faith and life were | nearly extinguished; she who smiled upon bim like the moon between’ the clouds of the tempest and | rootbed him with her tears, as the gentle rain calms the stormy ocean, and inspired him with tender verses, whose sweetness and pathos aro equalled by their grandeur; she who incited him to deatbless actions, éuch a8 the struggle for the emancipation of theGreeks, the memory of whose deeds shall be cherished among the heroisms and the noblest sacrifices of his- tory; that woman is one of those sublime Muses who ti the world singing, like a Sock of white mystic rds, over its sorrows and terrors. After this somewhat extravagant compliment to the | Countess, Castelar contrasts her with Heloise, whose immortal | for Abelard was of so much higher and finer a quality than that of Guiccioli for Byron. we Suds fault with the fair Countess for having survived | the poet, Saye he:— | The Countess wronged her first husband for the sake of Byron, Such a fault could have but one excuse—the eternity of her love. How did the Countess Guiccioli wear her perpetual mourning? Calling herself the Marquise de Boisty, after the death of hei wrote an interminable book upon Byron, a monotonous and wearisome apology, instead of the lyric poem which should emanate from an enamored heart. | The few personal and felicitous touches which are | found in Castelar’s book are mingled with a mass of Philosophical reflections which constantly interrapt the narrative, Castelar as a literary artist belongs es- Sentially to the class of orators. Rhetoric, not logic, | is bis forte, and long episodes, brilliant but beside the eubject, continually divert the reader from bis theme, which he has styled “The Life of Lord Byron.” He | diverges from an account of Byron’s boyhood into a jong comparative analysis of English society and that of France and the South of Europe. His narrative of Byron’s early poetic trials and squabbles with Edinburgh reviewers is sup- plemented by a long eulogy of the poetic genius jn general. Byron in Venice prompts‘as personal rem- jniscence of the Grand Canal and an apostropbe of Edgar | Quinet’s great work of “Ahasuerus.” Byron’s ad- ‘vent in the House ot Lords tempts Castelar into an ac- count of his own sensations on seeing for the first time the Houses of Parliament, the Cathedral of Toledo, the Coliseum of Rome and the Cemetery of Pisa. Some- times these episodes are fine specimens of rhetoric or of poetic analysis, but at others they become weari- fome, as interrupting with the reflections of the indi- vidual author what the reader rightly expects to be devoted to the immediate subject of his book. Here is | & pen picture of the personnel of Byron, which is worthy | of quotation: — His remarkable face; the beanty of his Grecian head; bis spacious forehead; his arched eyebrows; the depih of his eyes, which in ‘repose assumed the pure blue of the heavens, but which any emotion deepened to black, like an ocean of changing thoughts; the perfect Jine of his lips, sculptured as if to vibrate eternal har- mony; his aquiline nose; bis veard, divided with in- comparable grace; his Olympic gestures; his majestic attitude; his stateliness, tempered by softness: the genius flashing from his features; bis pale and delicate | ermplexton, resembling the color of antique marble, | gilded by the suns of centuries; ail his being, all his Person, declared that, in chiselling that pertect vase, the Creator did not design that it should remain empty, but be filled with immortal fragrance, “ Astonishing flexibility,” says Castelar, “is a dis- | tinctive characteristic of the poet.” The picturesque | description of Byron's Eastern wanderings, his travels B Albania and Greece, abounds with the most romantic and fascinating scenery. Custelar’s extremely brief ac- count of the suppressed memoirs of Byron is as ful- lows: The memoirs, which the poct wrote in a style Superior,even to his verses, if we can judge by some Femaining fragments, those eketehes which would Ihave been one of the most faithful historic testimonies of the times, have disappeared through the prudery of ‘the English aristocracy. wio were there painted nude, according to the method of great artists, * * * He gave up bis memoirs to Moore. But Moore, who was crafty and cold hearted, incapable of telling a truth, and desirous to frequent | bigh soctety, becoming the possessor of tragic and | comic descriptions of ladies of rank, and thinking it | unwise to reveal their secrets, broke the mirror in | which posterity conla have seen the face of the great | poet and of hie epoch. Castelar does not fail to pay a high compliment to Byron for the tone and spirit of bis three speeches in Parliament, ail in support of the rights of the peupic. ‘and of progress as against privilege. Indeed, he claims Byron as an aristocratic repablican—a man who left many traces of his imtelligence bebind as a constant de- | fender of the cause of liberty. Here is a sentence which is orator Castelar’s panegyric upon eloquence :— Eloquence is the angel's trumpet, which calls down | the judgment of God upon tyrants and unfolds the in- Dinite joys of a new existence, The singular paradoxes of Lord Byron's life, char- | acter and writings have nowhere found a more elo- | quent cumming up than the following by our author:;— He believed that to live was to fee! everything, to experience everything; to pase through the different | ions of the warmth of universal lite; to plunge eavily in the depths of the ocean, like the fishes; to weale the snowy peaks, like the eagles; to roll among the dry jeaver of autuinn; to trample on the snows of winter; to languish under the burning gun of wummer; to hover, like the butterdy, among ihe epring flowers; to be a pilgrim, ' wander- the Alhambra to the Vat- fag continually from sean, from the Vatican to the Parthenon, from the Pur- thenon to the Pyramids; to be the orator who wrestles in the tribune, and the brawler who fights in the #tresis; tobe the aristocrat, the noble who rejomes in the remembrance of his blazonings, and in the pride of his long descent, and the democrat, the man of the Prople, who protests against ail tyragnies and demands complete liberty; to be by turns a cenobite and an epicure; chaste and voluptuous; sceptical and believ- ing; a crimin an ‘apostle; an ener of bumanty philanthropist; an angel a 8 dem if = his spirit em braced all things and all ideas; as if his being was the ract of all life, his personality the protagonist of the grand scene of tho universe, of the great tragedy of bistory. i Elsewhere Castelar says of his subject and the esti mate of him by his English countrymen:— No people ever hated o mon as the British people bated Byron; and yet no rase was ever more faithtully Tepresented in ite characteristic qualities, and above ai} ip its haughty individuality, than tbe Fnglish people ‘were represented by Byron. LITERARY CHIT-CHAT. ‘The Saturday Review story, “A Garden of Women,” ie toid wit point ‘The vory clever metrical review of “Browning's Inn Album’ ip the Jribwne was from the pen of Bayard spirit and ‘of it, The Athencum thinks it svperior to anything | tention has been given to the details of the central | dren are | who take charge of it to push forward their charitable | work during the winter. | Xavier ts going on at the College Hall which is con- po ‘Taytor, 4 met whiten, thowgh generally suppoeed, was Bot Pp’ sitively at frst. The Academy says that it bas for its theme@a ‘vulgar, repulsive and improbable sory,” and that vulgarity is stamped upon the whole Mr. Browning has written of late. Hardly a compli- ment when we remember that Mr. Browning's best work is bis earliest, . ‘Madcap Violet’ is the name of William Black’s new novel, which will, be begun in the January number of Macmillan's Magazine. Moncure D, Conway says in a letter to the Academy that Walt Whitman has to have bis books printed at a job printing office and at his own expense, as no Amer- jean publisher will issue them and no magazine print his verses. We certainly remember seeing one of Whitman’s poems in a number of Harper's Magazine, The first volume of the Bryant “History of the United States” will be ready in January. Happy thought! Let Charlotte Cashman employ her leisure moments in writing her recollections of the stage, She could make an intensely interesting book, Bret Harte’s last volume, ‘Tales of the Argonauts,” (Osgood & Go,), shows a falling of in strength of char- acter drawing and humor. [tis said that Mr. Harte is dramatizing his “Gabriel Conroy.” The “Quad’s Odds” is the title under which Mr. C. B. Lewis, “The Detroit Free Press Man” has published @ collation of rollicking, humorous sketches which have appeared from time to time in the paper of which he fs the “Man,” It is to be regretted that the ‘Odds’? do not contain more of the sayings and doings of the now famous Bijah, but enough of him is given to pre- vent his easy exit from the public mind. In the intro- duction Mr. Lewis in bis best vein criticises the wood- cuts in the book, and says that he much regrets the non-acceptance by his publishers of a pian which he submitted and offered to execute, His proposition was made after viewing some of the cuts with which his book was to be embellished, and was to the effect that he be silowed to make some sketches with an axe, Noticeable among the numerous pictures in the book is the one of, Old Bijah, with a shepherd’s crook in one hand, a box of bon bons in the other, a swarm of urchins around his left leg and atmbe of girls around his right. The face is so clearly cut and such great at- figure that we must believe it to be a true portrait of Bijah, The author does not claim that all he has writ- ten is humorous, for we are informed by the title page that it is ‘a book of humor, anecdote, pathos and other things.” CHARITABLE FAIRS. The Ladies’ Directory is one of the most usefal chari- "8 in the city. Special care is taken to instruct young women in the domestic arts, and advice and instruc- tion are given to all women seeking employment, The fair in aid of the Directory is now going on at Masonic Temple, and Santa Claus appears in all his glory to gladden the hearts of the young people, Numerous valuable and curious articles, including sewing ma- chines, pianos, a Remington rifle and Japanese curi- osities of various kinds are to be raffled for, and music and dancing takes piace every evening. ‘The grand dolls’ bazaar at the drawing rooms of the Free Training School, No, 39 West Tenth street, is Progressing favorably, and crowds of ladies and chi- jaily in attendance purchasing dolls. The ‘Training School ig a noble charity, and it 1s to be hoped the bazaar will realize enough to enable the good ladi The fair in aid of the new Charch of St. Francis nected with the church, The hall, which is one of the prettiest in the city, is finely decorated, and the fine paintings with which the walls are bung are = great attraction, The fair is conducted by the ladies of the church, and the object is to raise fands for the new church’ building. Avery fine selection of articles is —* on the different tables, and the attendance is 0 ib The fair for the benefit of St, Peter's Parochial Schools, now being held in the basement of St, Peter's church, in Barclay street, has avery good assortment of articles on exhibition, and is well attended. The children’s merry making at the New York Diet Kitchen, which is to occur to-night at No. 110 Second avenue, in aid of the sick poor, is to be a series of in- teresting entertainments. Not only will it be a chil- dren's merry making, but people of mature ages will flod at it something to please. SHALL WOMEN VOTE FOR DENT? PRESI- | A circular, signed with the names of Matilda Joslyn Gage, Lillie Devereux Blake and Clemence 8, Lozier, M. D., ig beirig circulated, appealing for the paseage of a“simple vill’ by she Legislature, which {fs to assem- ble in Albany in January next, securing to the women of this State the rignt yo vote for Presidential electors in the fali of 1876, and thus to inaugurate the cenien- nial year by an act of equity and justice,” in accord- ance with that part ot the Declaration of Independence which declares that “governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.” The word *just’’ is printed in italics, and the circular concludes by asking “Shall it not be doue?”’ BREWERY SEIZED. | A Adolph Levinger, the defaulter, it now appears, was one of the partuers in the Levinger Lager Beer Brewery, at College Point, L. I. The brewery was yesterday seized by the United States government authorities for non-payment of taxes, and a keeper is now in charge. BAITING THE TIGER.

There were some forty persons present in the room when the descent was made, but they all managed to escape, The police carried away the whole paraphernalia of the game, consisting of a table, lay-out, card box, shuffle board, chips, &o. | ‘The prisoners will be taken to the Tombs Police Court | for examination this morning.

Speeches were made recommending the presentation to the next pay feces of a petition requesting the ofa bill which should provide for the testing of milk by the ordinary “testing valve,” instead of the lactometer. The dealers claim that the latter instrument Is so inac- curate that it is utterly useless. The testing of the milk at the railroad depots is also recommended, in or- der to preclude the possibility of any adulterated milk finding its way into the market.
