' 'Mr. Eckels left tonight'for Chicago, and:
it is supposed that he will’take occasion!
to preach Ms “third tickettdoetrine” to bis;

Mr. Eckels made this statement upon his
own-responsibility, occupying or up®a a-pow.riorr the authority close
of some one to
the president, is a raattewof conjecture. ;
From remarks made byMdri Eckels, third it is
evident that he does not-uepect the
ticket to win. nor does &e claim that it
will help to-elect a sound-money It president
or a sound money congpee.;. ; appears
thatthe best he expects to-accomplish'-is

Shelley and Fir*, and Flame..
Unlike most poets, and iu this reseat*
filing his contemporary Turner in
painting, Shelley began with no special
|»ve of color, but developed it with his
general development. The chief fshar
;acter of Shelley’s color is that it is al¬
ways mingled with light and move¬
ment. His is “a green and glowing
light like that which drops from folded
lilies in which glowworms dwell.” It
is translucent color, proceeding from
some “inmost purple spirit of light,”
and he seems to be always looking
through a rainbow hued cascade. A
curious feature in his use of color is the
evidently unconscious repetition of the
same word within a few lines. The col¬
or seems to flash before him and disap
pear. Hia colors are fluid, opaline, ir
idescent. In this, again, as in the
“Witch of Altas,” strongly resembling
Turner’s later use of color, they make
“a tapestry of fleecelike mist,”
“woven exhalation underlaid with lam¬
bent lightning fire. ”
No poet has ever used fire so exten¬
sively. “Men scarcely know how beau¬
tiful fire is,” he says. “Each flame of
it is as a precious stone dissolved in
ever moving light.” He finds the sem¬
blance of flame in the uulikeliest places,
even in water, for the dew iu a flower
is like fire, even iu the solid marble,
for the pyramid of Geatus is a flame.
Everywhere he sees color fused with
light and in perpetual movement. The
whole visible universe is “a dome of
many colored glass,” which “stains the
white radiance of eternity.” Shakes

Pap* Haydn's London Debut.
On Haydn's arrival he first took up
his abode at Bland’s, the music pub¬
lisher, at 45 Holborn, but soon after¬
ward removed to rooms prepared for
him at 18 Great Pulteuey street,
residence of Salomon. Near here,
Messrs. Broad wood’s, is shown a room
in which Haydn used to retire to com¬
pose. At Salomon’s he would appear to
have appreciated the arrangements made
for his comfort, especially with regard
to the cuisine, which was under the di¬
rection of a foreign chef. We find him,
however, complaining of the late hour
at which Londoners dined, though to us
.6 o’clock might seem uncomfortably
early. In March, 1791, he conducted the
first of Salomon’s concerts at the rooms
in Hanover square, and in this and the
following year he bright out the first
six of his grand syiiifihonies. For many
years Salomon was among the foremost
musicians iu the metropolis. During
Mara’s first season in London be con

him a genius and asked whose violin
playing approached nearer the human
voice. When an old man, he was still
full of enterprise, and took great inter¬

A Story of lIJrsch.
One of the late Baron Hirsch’s idio¬
syncrasies, says the London Daily Cou¬
rier, was somewhat of an embarrassment
to the ladies with whom he was ac¬
quainted, though some people might
aiot have objected to it.
The baron had a fondness for playing
cards with the ladies he met at country
bouses and losing money to them. Not
a few sixpences either, but £10, £20,
£50,at a sitting.
At first sight there may not seem any
the fact is that the baron iu would ,hi n ,T. a
pains to lose, and it was a common
thing fox onlookers to say that such and
such a lady with whom be was playing
hezique, or whatever the game might
be, would be richer that evening by £50
so.
Fairly won, no lady "
perhaps.
But the baron would carefully stop,
or play badly, just so as to leave bis
opponent the victor, and then what he
really enjoyed was pulling out. a fdw
bank notes and passing them oVer.
