Here ai last s the long heralded Caatelar's "Lltfof
tyron" rendered in(o English i>y a ci mpetent.hii,nd.
?o those who hare been rxpectiug new revulaUbns con
?ernmg the world famous poet. his biography, his sup
tressed memoirs or his hie-work, ih.s sketchy bat brifl
ut volume will bring only disappointment But to
Aose who relish br.llixnt geueralizalioa, ekniaeat and
nelapborical touc hes and the high poelie treatment of
. poetic ibeme, Catdelar's briel book will be welcome,
towever great a misnomer it may be to style it
i biography. Out of pages of the London edition
rss than half, or only 179 pages, are occupied
?itb Lord Byron. The other materula, fitly dsnom
?au-rt "sketches" ,o the t tie page, are brilliant char
tcierizations of ft ur eminent Frenchmen and one
Kalian transplanted to France-Victor Hugo, Alexan
Ire Dumaa Emile Girardla, Adolphe Thiers and Daniel
daoin. Paisng over these essays, which have been
jablished mother forms, let us come to what Castelar
sag to Hay of Byron. His book is prefaced by a grand
loqueul introduction by Jom; R. Leal, of Havana,
?hich Mra Arnold bus thought proper to render
from the on ?.nal edition, but wUich might better have
?cen left out. Castelar's prci.rmuary sketch of the
itormy birth, Infancy aed childhood of Byron seizes
tie main points of his strange biography and brings
?he picture belore the reader's eye w.ih great force of
?apression. Witness the fallowing:?
ThtK stormy fircskle; this rebellious birth; this
ipendtbritt lather; this assassin uncle; this mother
embittered by disappointment, the sweetness of whose
sex had been pierreu oy the thorns o! her sorrow; this
blood, boiling and agitated like the troubled seas over
which watid) red the Normans; this cradle, rock'd t?y
despair and watered by tears ; this decay of an illus
trious line, which threatened extinction in i-< 1< t
representative; this accidental lameness. to which the
< ruel shaft ol ridicule made htm keenly sensitive; all
these loflueaoes, acting on a naturally sensitive nature,
inspired the eternal elegy embodied in his verses, like
the continuation of tho tirst bitter cry of his oxistenca.
Cattelar himself, in hia second chapter, speaks mod
estly of the task be has undertaken, and claims no fhl
I Jment In it of what the world lias long looked for with
impatience?namely, a work on the life of the po< t which
shall be, so t< speak, monumental, "a book which
would throw a new and a groaler light on this great
mind, and be for .t almost a resurrection." Such a
book, he thinks, had ?ha been worthy, might have
been written by the Ci unless Gmccioli, that beautifu
ercature who so fascinated Byron in the last few years
of his existence, and whom he depicts la the followtug
language ?
Ar.d, indeed, tl at woman, who met the poet
hall way n his career, ? Ucd inmost maddened by wild
past.ons and desperation, when faith and li!e were
nearly extinguished; she who sm led upon him like
the moio between tho ciouds of the tempest and
toothed h.m with her tears, as the gentle ram calms
the stormy ocean, and inspired him with tender verses,
whose sweetness and pathos aro equalled by their
grandeur; she who incited him to deathless actions,
inch as the struggle tor the emancipation of the Greeks,
the memory o( whose deeds shall be cherished among
the heroisms and the nobler sacrifice* at his
tory; that woman is one of those sublime Muses who
pssover the world singing, like a flock of white mystic
birds, over its sorrows and terrora
After this somewhat extravagant compliment to the
Countess, Castelar contrasts her with Heloise, whose
immortal love for Abelard was of so much higher and
finer a quality than that of Guicctoli for Byron. Ho
Ends fault with the fair Countess for hiving survived
the poet. Says he:?
The Countess wronged her first husband for the Rake
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 toerself the
Marquise de Boiacv. after the death of her husband, sh
wrote an interminable book npou Byron, a monotonous
and wearsome apology, instead of the lyric poem
which should emanate from an enamored heart
The few personal and felicitous touches which sre
found In Castelar's book are mingled with a mass of
philosophical reflections which constantly interrupt
the n&rrativa Castelar as a literary artist belongB es
sentially to the class of orators. Rhetoric, not logic,
is his forte, and long episodes, brilliant but beside tho
subject, continually divert the reader from his theme,
which he has styled "The Life of Lord Byron." He
diverges from an account of Byron's boyhood into a
long comparative analysis of Kngllsh society and
that oi 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 ouiogy of the poetic genius
in general Pvron in Venice prompts 'a personal rem
iniscence of the Grand Canal and an apostrophe of Edgar
(juinet's great work of "Ahasuerua" Byron's ad-,
vent in the Bouse of Lords tempts Castelar into an ac
count of-his own sensations on seeing for the first time
the Houses of Parliament, the Cathedral of Tolodo, the
Coliseum of Rome and the Cemetery ol Pisa Some
times these episodes are fine specimens of rhetoric or
of poetic analysis, but at others they become ifeart
come, 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
a pen picture of the personnel of Byron, which is worthy
of quotation;?
His remarkuble face: the beauty of his Grecian head;
Ins spacious forehead; his arched'eyebrows; the depth
of hie eyes, which id repose assumed the pure blue of
the heavens, but which any emotion deepened to
black like an ocean of changing thoughts; the perfect
line of his lips, acalpturad as if to vibrate eternal har
mony; his aquiline nose; bis oeard, divided with in
comparable grace; his Olympic gestures; his majestic
attitude; his stateliness. tempered by softness; the
I'eniux (lathing from his features; his pale and delicate
cmpiei'on. resembling the color of int iue marble,
gilced by the suns ot centuries; all his being, all his
person, declared that, in chiselling tfiat perfect vase,
trie Ore.itor did not design that it shoald reuiu.u empty,
but be filled with immortal fragrance.
'? Astonishing flexibility." says Castelar, "Is a dis
tinctive character.stic of the poet" The picturesque
description of Byron's Eastern wanderings, hi? travt is
:n Albania and Greece, abounds with the most romantic
and fascinating scenery. Castelar's extremely brief an
eount ol the suppressed memoirs of Byron is as fol
lows;
The memoirs, which the poet wrote in a stvie
supernr.even to ins verse.-. If we ran judge by soma
remain.ng fragments-, tfcise -(fetches which woi.id ,
kave be^-ii ot.< of the most faithful histor c testimonies
?.f the lime*, have disappeared through the prudery of
the Kngltah aristocrat y who were there oainted nude. !
a< carding to the method of itr-at, artists ? ? *
He gave up bis memoirs to Moore. But
Moore, who was crafty im cold hearted,
incapable of telling a truth, and desirous to frequent
high aoclety. becoming the possessor of tragic find
comic descriptions of ladies of rann, an l thinking it
anwisa to reveal their secrets, broke the mirror in
which posterity could have seen the face of the great
poet and of hit epoch.
Castelar does not fall to pay a high c<Kup!imenl to
Byron for tie too* and spirit of hia three-p< o< l.*, n
I'ariiament, all in support of the rights of the people,
and of progress as against privilege. Indeed, he cUims
Hyron as an ariatocratlc republican?a man who left
many traces of his iatelllgence behind as a constant do
leader of the cause of liberty. Here is a sentence
which is orator Castelar's panegyric upon eloquence:?
Eloquence is the angel's trumpet, whi' b calls down
the Jodgment of God upon tyrants aud unfolds the iti
fiaite joyi of a new existence.
The singular paradoxes of Lord Byron's life char
acter and writings have nowhere found a more elo
quent summing up than the following hy our author:?
He believed that to live was t" feel werything. to
experienc e everything; to pass through the different
gradation- of the warmth of universal life; to plunge
heavily n the depths of the ocean, like the fishe*. to
?e*le U?e snowy peak?. like the eagles; to roll among
the dry ieaves ot" autumn, to tramplu on the snows if
Winur; to languish 'inler ih* burning inn of
?umner; to hover, like the batterUy, among
the spring flower?; t.? be t pttgntn, wander

tbei.i ti to the Pyramids: to be the orator ?ho wrestle*
in the tribuae and the brawler who ?irnti< in tho
? treats: to he the aristocrat the netile who rejores 11
the remembrance of his biaromngs, and in the pride of
li.t long descent, and the lennoerat. the man o! the
people, *t,i protests against ad ivraan cs and demands
complete liberty , to be by turns a cenobite mil ?u

abstract of atl I f-*, h,s personality tho protagonist of
the grand scene ol the universe, of the great tragedy
of history.
Elsewhere Castelar ?ay? or hfs subject and the esti
mate of him by his English countrymen:?
No people ever hated a man as the Br.tish people
hated Byron; and yet an ra.v was ever more faithfully
represented In its characteristic utialit en, and ahovo
ail o its l anghly individuality, than the i ngli-ii people

tention has been given to the details of the central
1 figure that we must believe it to be a true portrait of

that it is "a book of humor, anecdote, pathos and other
, things."

FAILURE OF A FICKLE FIRM.
THE ANCHOR PICKLE WORK8, OF PITTSBURG,
BTSPEND?ON* OF THE PAIiTNEIUi ABRBSTED
FOB FRAUD?THE LIABILITIES SAID TO BE
LARGE.
Pitthbcko, 1'a., Dec. 16, 1875.
This morning Henry J. Hem*, of the firm of Heinz,
Noble & Co., proprietors of the Anchor Pickle Work*,
was arrested at the instance of Kinder Blair on the
charge of removing goods and secreting them for the
purpose of defrauding their creditors. Heinz, Noble k
Co. are well known throughout the country as extensive
manufacturers of sauces, spices, Ac., and beside their
works here hare quite a large house at 8t Louis.
It would appear that depression of business has
rripplnd thorn financially, Inasmuch an they flailed to
liquidate the claim? of Mr. Blair, amounting to some
$&,OUU. During last night it is alleged that
a large number of wagons were engaged in remov
ing jarred pickles, spices and sauces from the manu
factory. and so industriously did they do the work thut
little oi value was found this morning. The bulk of
the goods removed were shipped by train to Chicago
uid started to their destination daring the night. Mr.
Heinz wok arrested this afternoon on information
noted above and released on bail lor a hearing.
K. J. Noble and Clarence L. Noble, tho other part
ners. were not apprehended, having left lor the West
A charge of false pretence was also preferred against
Mr. Heinz, on the allegation that he procured Mr.
Iilair's signature to the promissory note by falsely
representing that he was negotiating for a loan of
$10,000 from the bank in Sharpsburg, on the following
day. The liabilities of the firm were not given, but
must be large, as they had an excellent reputation as
enersretic business men, and their failure caused no
little surprise in commercial circles.
