CONSTITUTIONALIST A. IJ OUST A. »A. 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. WILLOUGnBY. F'TJfSTK RAL NOTICES. THE FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES of Mr. and Mrs. D. A.
