[European ' ,;s,pon lance of tho Bulletin.] J'i.dresce, December, 1875. ■''n Punctually with the arrival ortho opening of the great gal ■ l'iiti PaUce this morning, which tyn is o'clock, wo presented our iidmittauco, and were noon at our it:on of wandering linilerndy about, with heacl.i thrown Lack and eyes ^trained up' ward, iutou ly studying a world ol artistic productions that spread boforo us. Now, as yesterday, wo were so walled in with the cele brated work t ol' celebrated men that wo found our untutored judgments almost at a loss for measure« of comparison by which properly to estimate the extraordinary merits of what we 1 )< : U le old . At every utep-we encountered sonio produc tion of Kapha, d, oi C. rreggio, of Titian, of Tintoretto, ol Paul Veronese, or their famous compoors, ami where all is so uniformly ex cellent, criticism utterly fails. Of course wo were b tter pleased with some pictures than with others, and if it had not been tor fear of being overheard, wo might even have ven tured to criticise points that particularly pleased ns, or which fell short of our self-con ceived ideal, but of all the crowd who thronged the place, nobody dared open their mouths in criticism, and taking tho hurt that to bo silent was to appear wise, as well as immensely experienced, we held our p- ace about the pic tures, or upoko in snbduod touo.s when other vi it rs were within hearing distance. This palace, liko the Uffi.v, which wo yeb* ter,lay visited, is diviJed into a groit number of small rooms; these, for purposes ot distinc tion, bear the sounding tilies of the hee'bon gods. Thus, thero is tho Saloon of Satan, the Saloon of Jupiter, tho Saloon of Mars, of Venus, of Apollo, and so on, through a series of twelve, all teeming with great pic tures, and, lor the most part, as we saw them, crowded with visitors, and with artists en gaged in nukiug copies of the most notod works. They have a very satisfactory plan in operation here to insuro the enjoyment of strangers and render them independent of the vendors of catalogues, who haunt liko rostlois ghosts all the galleries of Europe. Tho plau in question is to supply as cata logues in each saloon a number of fans made of heavy pasteboard, and having a proper quadrangular shape; and on one side of this convenient institution is a list, in French, of the pictures in the saloon with their respec tive numbers attached, and on the other side the same iu Italian. This gives great satis faction, for evory one knows how provoking it is to see a handsome pioture without being able to determine tho exact soene of history or romance it is designed to represent, and to a visitor even tolerably well read, it is sufli cient merely to be informed of tho principal characters involved, upon knowing which one can instantly locate the scene, so that these names being iu French or Italian makes little or no difference to on who does not read these languages. Still, if I had not known the story of Judith and ilolophernes, I might have failed to re cognize, by her Italian name, the dark eyed woman with the scimotar, about to descond upon a sleeping warrior. Such pictures as these from the life of Christ and from Bible history generally, are hardly to be mistaken, and about the Madonnas, the Magdalens and St. Sebastians, there could never be an in stant's doubt, for they are all of a peouliar typo that once remarked renders uncertainty for the future impossible. 1 hate to be thought an imitator of auother man's writings, or a bliud followor after an other man's ideas, but 1 must remark after Mark Twain that whenevor I came suddenly upon a picture that struck me as unusually impressive and beautiful before I knew the name of the artist who did it, I was almost sure to liud upon inquiry that it wa3 not done by one of the old masters, or any of tboir "schools," but by some person 1 had never even as mach as heard of. This is discouraging, because I should be pleased to think that I bad discovered the merits of a celebrated thing " all by myself," as I could never claim to do after having my opinion prejudiced in its favor by knowing the name of the prodigy who produoed it. In this Fitti Palace there was one thing, however, that did afford me considerable S60ret satis faction, and it was the fact that I was enabled to guess the subjects of at least two-thirds ol the purely historical pictures at sight There fore I never failed to give the authors of the works which I thus recognized full crodit for having treated their scenes so ably. From time to time we encountered in these saloons of the gods tables of rare mosaio work, besides vases ami fragments of sculp ture iuterspersed among the teemiug wonders of pictorial art that ülled tho place. One round center table of some four or five feet in diameter in particular claimed our atten tion, as having been prepared expressly for exhibition at the World's Fair in London, ol the year 1851, and then not sent there. What made it specially worthy of attention was the knowledge that it represented a consolidated cash vaine of $150,000, enough to buy a re spectable steamship, or half a dozen planta tions, as such things have gone in tho South since the war. From the picture gallery we walked through an almost interminable corridor, hung with ancient tapestry, and on into another filled with crayon sketches and smaller works from the hands of the old masters, and on and on, until by chance looking out of a window we found ourselves across the river, and wauder iug on in surprise we came at last to the I'ffizi palac.% which must be more than half a mile from where we started, and the whole of the way bad been lined with objects of art, great or small. Then we looked at each other iu blank urn izemeut and started back, to see it we could liud our way out again, for it was long past eleven, at which hour we had pro p se 1 to call oa the American Consul at his I. to of tee say Al> De F fî 11 office, in order to learn tlie address ol Brown « i friend, to whom his letter of introduction was addressed. After traversing what seemed to be miles of passages and corridors we finally reached the Piazza Pitti, from which we had entered, and were soon at the Consul's office, where we obtained the desired address, and at once started to find the studio of the artis, our countryman. Our reception was such more than fulfilled our expectations, or, to bo t xplicit, I need say no more than that it was such as a true American always gives a conn tryman in foreign lands, irrespective of politi cal prejudices or party feelings either may have entertained at home. Europeans may laugh at us for our conceit, our national vanity and easy assurance abroad, but no one can deny us the reputation we justly have for whole-souled cordiality and hospitality to our friends, whether they differ from ns in poli tics or of inions, and for our readiness to oblige strangers under all circumstances. We had the misfortune to find the artist himself absent, but Lis two sons and their mother did the honors of the house, showing us through the studio, in which works of great interest were in progress, and finally the younger sou chaperoned us on a carriage drive of several hours through the lovely en virons, showing ns all the attractions of the famous Cascine, or city park, and taking us to the new Piazza Michele Angdo, from whence we saw tho great city and the lovely valley of the Arno stretching beneath our feet like a panorama, all the time answering questions at a terrific rate and giving us a thousand items of information that could never have been gleaned from a euide-book or from the discourse of a professional guide. They have been living in Florence now a number of years, and say that they could not be prevailed npon lightly to leave a place so delightful in every particular. He says there are a great number of American residents in the city, and that they are enthusiastic in their attachment to this place. This, from what I have seen of Florence, I can well be lieve. Yours, etc., Stahlfeder. A Call for Kallm-li. the Preacher Supposed to Know Something About Babcock ana flic Kings. [From the Kansas City Times.] It will be remembered that Delano's official head never began to rest uneasily upon his shoulders until he gave Darfee & Feck, of Leavenworth, cause of complaint against him, and that he never recovered in full the favor which he had previously enjoyed, though he afterwards did all he could to propitiate Dur fee «V Feck. In fact, his rupture with that firm was the boginning of his downfall. The circumstances ot the collision conveyed a hint to the outside world that the intlaence of Durfee & Feck was very potent at the White House, but the impression on the pub lic mind was momentary, and has been long since forgotten. A full explanation of that iniluence can be had by applying to the Kev. I. 8. Kalloch. While Mr. Durfee was lying on his death bed, Mr. Kalloch consented to become a con stant attendant at his bedside, and for this service received a legacy of several thousand dollars. He says that one day a note arrived from Gen. C. W. Babcock, of Kansas, stating that his brother, Gen. Babcock, of Washing ton, desired Mr. Durfee to arrange the pay ment which was then due. Mr. Durfee told Mr. Kalloch that the note referred to an as sessment of $5000 which had been levied on Durfee & Peck, as large government contract ors, to be paid in regular installments out of their profits for the use of the party. Mr. Kalloch says that Mr. Durfee then paid $5000 to G. W. Babcock, for the President's Private Secretary. As Mr. Kalloch had never heard of any appointment of Babcock as a commit tee to raise funds for party purposes, the in cident struck him as a little extraordinary, and he mentionod it forthwith to quite a large number of prominent ltepublicans to see if they could explain it.
