SUNDAY MORNING. BEPT. 25. 1870
AUDUBON.
We have been very much interested in a
striking sketch of Audubon, contained in
the last number of the Edinburg Renew.—
For the benefit of our readers, we will take
a brief survey of the more memorable
characteristics of one of the most remarka
ble men of modern times and certainly the
greatest of ornithologists in any epoch of
the world. •
Audubon was certainly an eccentric. —
The mixture of French and Spanish blood
in his veins, seems to have given him a
temperament like quicksilver. He was reck
less, enthusiastic, brave ; devoted heart and
soul to his specudite; vain as a peacock,
and fond of exaggeration as a Gascon. It
was his whim to hunt in black satin breech
es, to shoot in dancing pumps, and to dress,
altho’ only the wild turkey and the deer
might witness his magnificence, in the
finest ruffled shirts to be obtained from
Paris!
He thus describes his own personal ap
pearance :
“ I measured five feet, ten and a half inch
es, was of fair mien and quite a handsome
figure; large, dark, and rather sunken eyes,
light-colored eyebrows, aquiline nose, and
a fine set of teeth; hair fine texture, and
luxuriant, divided, and passing down each
ear in ringlets as far as the shoulder.”
An effeminate picture this, but the man
was not effeminate. A dauntless hunter,
an experienced backwoodsman, a superb
s h o t—he was likewise as irrepressible a
spirit as ever fronted misfortune with a
bold brow, and laughed or worked it down.
His career was full of startling vicissi
tudes. A beggar to day, unable to pur
chase a pair of boots : to-morrow, by some
lucky stroke as a draughtsman, he gains
the wherewithal to array himseli in “ pur
ple and fine linen,” and to dine sumptuous
ly on champagne an 1 potted meats.
Mr. Buchanan, the compiler of Audu
bon’s biography, has portrayed him in a sin
gle felicitous and epigrammatic phrase, as
« a compound of Action and Narcissus.”
The “ Action.” however, predominated.
His adventures among the Western forests
and on the waters of the Ohio and Missis
sippi are as exciting as a romance. Num
berless were the dangers he encountered,
and many were his hair-breadth escapes.
Os the latter we will mention a single in
stance. During the Winter of 1810-11,
Audubon, while on his way across a West
ern prairie, put up for the night in an In
dian hut, containing only a woman and a
Shawnee “brave,” who had accidentally
wounded his eye with an arrow. As the
naturalist lay down on a pallet o bear
skins, with his gun close to his body, and
to all appearances asleep, two athletic
youths entered w'th a dead stag on a pole.
They disposed of their burden, and helped
themselves to whisky. * * (The rest
shall be told in Audobon’s own words.)
* * * “These lads had eaten and drunk
themselves into such a condition that I al
ready looked upon them as hors de combat ,
and the frequent visit of the whisky bottle
to the ugly mouth of their dam, 1 hoped,
would soon reduce her to a like state.
Judge of my amazement when I saw this
incarnate fiend take a large carving knife
and go the grindstone to whet its edge!
I saw her pour the water on the turning
instrument until the
cold sweat covered every part of my body,
in spite of my determination to defend my
self to the last. Her task finished, she
walked to her reeling sons and said,
‘['here! that’ll soon settle him! Boys,
kill yon , and then for the watch !’ ”
At this moment, after the fashion of a
raelo-dramatlc surprise, the door opens,
and two stout white mmters enter, each
armed with a rifle. The tale was told, and
the intended murderers secured. * * *
Rather too frequently does Audubon treat
us to narratives of this description. They
are exciting no doubt, but a disagreeable
impression, strengthened by the biographer,
Is made to prevail, that the naturalist s
not merely an accomplished rifle shot, but
a sturdy drawer of “ the long bow.”
Meanwhile, Audubon had completed
many hundred drawings of the' birds of
America. He exhibited them in Philadel
yhia and New York, and received the
praise of scientific men—among them
Luoien Bonaparte, Prince of Canino,
himself an ornithologist of reputation.
In 1826, Audubon sailed for England
where, In his own words, “ he expected to
And that fame given to all heroes so tardi
ly iu their own country.” His sanguine
hopes were dashed at first, but gradually
subscriptions came into the grand Orni
thological work he had projected, aud his
scientific prospects daily improved. He
formed the acquaintance of the most cele
brated politicians, savans and literati in the
kingdom. Lord Standby, though shy at
the commencement of their intercourse,
soon became his firm friend and patron.
Humboldt and Sir Humphrey Davy ad
mired his genius, and furthered his plans.
In Edinburgh, Audubon encountered Mr.
Lizars, the well known engraver of
Selby’s work on “ The Birds of Great
Britain.” When his portfolio was opened
before Lizars, the engraver exclaimed,
“ My God, I never saw anything like them
before!”
It was in the Scotch capital, under the
stimulus of flattery and success, that Au
dubon’s personal vanity broke out in a
very characteristic manner. He took again
to fine dressing, making his toilet twice a
day, and wearing gorgeous silk stockings
and pumps. “ I wear my hair (he writes
in his diary) as long as usual;” and I “ be
lieve it does as much, for me as my paintings."
On one occasion he met Jeffrey, the
brilliant and aristocratic critic, at a din
ner given by Capt. Basil Hall. “ He (Jef
frey) talked,” (according to our natural
ist) “ with disagreeable volubility.” In the
course of the “ evening, however, Jeffrey
seemed to discover that if he was Jeffrey I
was Audubon !”
* * * Finally, after years of labor,
and of alternate residence in America and
England, the publication of the Ornitho
logy was accomplished. In 1839, when
Audubon was verging upon his 60th year,
the sth and 6th volumes of the magificent
work to which he had devoted his iife, ap
peared in Edinburg. In the letter press he
had been materially aided by his friend, the
distinguished McGillivray.
Upon his return to New York, Audubon
prepared for his last and grandest journey
to the Western wilderness. With a party
of six companions, he left New York on
11th of March, 1843, on an expedition to
the Yellow Stone River, and the adjacent
regions, in order to procure materials for
his work, The Quadrupeds of North Ameri
ca. This journey lasted eight months. It
was crowded with adventures, many of
which he describes in his usual fervid and
animated style.
But here again the exaggerations are po
tent. For example, he gives a story of the
ravages of the small-pox among the Man
dan Indians that is worthy of Munchau
sen. He states that in a couple of seasons
one hundred and fifty thousand of these
savages perished, leaving only twenty
seven persons to represent the once power
ful tribe!
The three years immediately succeeding
the period of Audubon’s return from the
West were spent by him tranquilly and
happily in the bosom of his family. But in
1846— and, it would appear, with compara
tive suddenness—his mind utterly failed
him. Simultaneously, almost, he lost his
sight, and had to be led about by the hand
of a servant.
In all the records of biography we can
recall no picture so sad as this. Southey,
an intellectual imbecile, broken down in
body and genius alike, is a melancholy ob
ject indeed, as he maundered over his man
uscripts, and feebly contemplated the books
he had once so dearly loved.
But the spectacle of the bold hunter, the
indefatigable explorer of farthest wilder
nesses, and lakes, and mountain ranges,
the ardent naturalist whose vision had
once been keen as the eagle’s, and who, in
the striking language of Smollett, may be
said always to have followed “ independ
ence with his bosom bared ” —the spectacle
of such a man chained and fettered in a
double darkness is pathetic and terrible to
the last degree. Yet it is possible that he
himself suffered little, if at all. A merciful
oblivion rested, cloud-like, upon his brain.
It was never uplifted in this world. He
expired on the 27th of January, 1851, leav
ing the completion of his work on quadru
peds to the care of his son.
Hard to Urge. —A special te egram
from Atlanta, in our edition of yesterday,
reads thus:
“ Urge Democrats and Conservatives to
return to their posts, and call meetings at
once to petition for a fair and 'ree election
in November.”
Any legislative Democrat who is absent
from his post, at this juncture, without the
best of reasons, must be a hard subject for
“ persuasion.” The people in his neighbor
hood ought to shame the delinquent back
to Atlanta, or, if needs be, conduct the
gentleman thither with a posse comitatus.
Our New York Correspondence.
New York, September 22,1870.
“ The vanquished triumph and the vic
tors mourn,” is an epigram that correctly
describes the changed attitude of our peo
ple towards the European belligerents. —
All the joy of the Germans is gone ; the de
claration of the Republic in Frauce, and
the persistence of the Prussians in main
taining the war after their arch-enemy Na
poleon has been overthrown, have com
pletely turned the tide of feeling, and one
hears on all sides the remark that if Wil
helm does not soon make peace, it will be
the worse for him. Many believe that peace
now will not be sufficient to stay the tide
Os Republicanism which threatens to again
sweep over Europe, and adepts in Euro
pean matters declare that the tyrant of
Prussia will yet be hoisted by his own pe
tard. England and Russia see the danger;
hence the earnestness with which they de
mand that Prussia shall treat with the
Provisional Government of France.
The situation is in the meantime affect
ing business unfavorably. The last num
ber of the Financial Chronicle reported a
decline in every leading staple sold in this
market, except breadstuff's and tobacco.
Ami yet the distributing business is large,
and complaints of dull times are not so
general as they have been. Cotton is
pressed for sale “ to arrive in a few days,”
and this fact, together witli the unsettled
tho.Coutipi.jnt, has
r or one 1 cenu 1 At this <Te
clinetlmre is some export, but the market
is yet rar from strong. Some of our most
trusted friends think an early decline in
gold not improbable.
The Democratic State Convention at Ro
chester yesterday nominated Gov. Hoffman
for re-election, and most of bis colleagues
among the present State officer's. But the
most important action was in the matter
of the resolutions. They take strong
ground in favor of the policy of the Demo
cratic party taking what is termed a
“new departure,” acquiescing in the 15th
amendment, and other Radical outrages of
the past five years, and endeavoring to re
store liberty and law under the new order
of things. There will be difference of opin
ion as to the wisdom of such a course, and
fortunately there is ample time for discus
sion before definite action Is required. A
desperate effort will be made to defeat Gov.
Hoffman, but with very little prospeet of
success, as he has the confidence and good,
opinion of moderate men of all parties
The large floating vote will go to him.
Like master, like man it is rumored
that an officer of high rank on Sickles’
staff has deserted his wife and children,
who are now in this city, and is now “gal
ivanting” about Georgia ami Alabama as
a widower. He will bear watching. I
don’t mention his name for fear the Radi
cals will send him to Congress.
The funeral ceremonies to be observed
on the occasion of the final interment of
the remains of Admiral Farragut, in or
near the city, and for which preparations
are now making, promise to be the most
imposing siuce those accorded to Lincoln.
The Guerriere, one of the finest steam cut
ters in the service, has been detailed to
transport the body from Portsmouth, N.
H., and, as aii escort, orders have been is
sued from the Navy Department to prepare
as large a squadron as, in tin present state
of affairs, is possible. A splendid cata
falque will be placed in the lower cabin of
the Guerriere, upon which will be the
coffin, and .upon entering the harbor of
New York the forts will fire the customary
salute of seventeen guns, which will be re
sponded to by the ships. A grand proces
sion of boats will b; formed, containing
the officers, marines and ships’ companies
of all the men-of war, accompanied by
music, while minute guns will be fired un
til the cortege reaches the shore, when the
civic authorities, aDd the members of the
Loyal Legion of the United States, of which
Admiral Farragut was Grand Commander
of this State, will assume charge, escorted
by regular troops and the entire First Di
vision of Militia, in command of Major
General Shaler.
Borne time during the coming week it is
thought the ceremonies will take place, if
the arrangements can by that time be com
pleted. President Grant, the Secretary of
the Navy, the Chief of Bureau, the Admi
ral. and all the officers of the navy, marine
corps and army who can attend are to par
ticipate, while the escort will be swelled by
all the marines, sailors and regular troops
iu the vicinity of the city.
Not a boat leaves Brooklyn in daylight
from Fulton Ferry, that passengers do not
watch from the after part, the masonary
work which marks the first stupendous
step of the gigantic East River Bridge. The
caisson now settling slowly but surely in
its submarine bed, was floated into position
on the Brooklyn side adjoining Fulton
Ferry, on the 3d of last May, since which
time satisfactory progress has been made,
under the supervision of the engineer, Mr.
Roebling, and his assistant, Mr. C. C. Mar
tin. The latest measurement, made a few
days ago, shows that the caisson for the
tower (which will rise to a height of 268
feet above high water mark) had been sunk
to a depth of twenty-seyen feet six inches
below high water level, and the depth as
signed being forty-four feet, there remains
seventeen feet yet to be accomplished. The
higher the tide the greater the quantity of
air required to be pumped in the caisson to
relieve the pressure, and for this purpose,
and for hoisting the* debris, sand and bro
ken rock from the river bottom, from three
to five engines are kept constantly going.
There are two gangs of workmen employed
below, each gang working eight hours at a
time, thus performing sixteen hours of la
bor out of the twenty-four. The caisson
i gangs number one hundred and sixty men
each, while about one hundred and fifty
are employed in the yard, and one hundred
and sixty more are constantly at wdrk at
the stone yard of the Bridge Company in
South Brooklyn, where the stone is first
taken by the vessels, which bring large
quantities from Maine. Here it is dressed
prior to being sent to its final destination.
The average progress made in sinking the
caisson is about three inches a day. Work
will be continued below the surface
throughout the Winter, at which time, of
course, the mason work will cease, but pre
vious to that enough of stone will be
placed in position to set tbe caisson, when
that being complete the interior of the
structure will be filled up with concrete,
thus forming a solid foundation for the
great tower of the East River
Since the days of Jenny Lind, no singer
from the Old World has arrived upon
American shore t who has created the fu
rore which is now being excited hy Chris
tine Nilsson, who, after the lapse of twenty
years, recalls to mind the triumphs of her
countrywoman. Like her countrywoman,
too, and a distinguished exception among
the majority of those who win a high rank
upon the stage, Nilsson is pre-eminently
marked by a simplicity which is most cap
tivating, because it Is so real. Accustom
ed, as she is, to the greatest honors both in
London and Paris, where she alone has
been judged worthy to divide with Adeline
Patti the first rank among lyric artistes , she
evinced, when appearing for the first time
on Monday night, a timidity before the
storms of applause which greeted her
which was all the more becoming, coupled
as it was with a perfect grace. At
tired in white, adorned by a few
well choseu flowers, she was lead
out by Maretzek, and after the furore had
subsided, and some preliminary notes
from the orchestra had been given, she
sang “ Angels Ever Bright and Fair,” from
Handel’s Theodora, and to those who look
ed upon the somewhat slight form before
them, the power of voice was surprising.—
The quality is also beautiful; each note
clear and lovely, and the compass great,
the high and difficult notes being given
without an effort. Her next piece was the
mad scene in Hamlet, an intensely difficult
selection, and one requiring great variety
of expression, and in which she wou en
thusiastic encores. The crowning piece
was, perhaps, however, the exquisite mor
ceau “ Ah, fors e Lui," by Verdi, the sweet
est thing, almost, he ever wrote, in which
is portrayed the struggle between love and
the consciousness of being unworthy a
thing so holy. The andanlino was given
with an intensity of passion and of tender
ness which has not for years been heard,
while an equal expression was given to the
cavatina.
Those who expect from Nilsson wonder
ful displays of vocalization will be disap
pointed. In that respect she is surpassed,
and in the concert of Monday night there
were no remarkable displays of rapid exe
cution. Nilsson’s pre-eminence consists in
the possession of a splendid voice, and great
dramatic power, which cannot in the con
cert room be shown to a true advantage,
requiring the larger liberties of the stage.
On returning, she was drawn to her hotel
by a crowd of admirers, the horses being
taken from the carriage.
