we'll.

we'll.
The first public statue of Oliver Crom-
we'll erected in England was unveiled on
the first OF December in Manchester.
The statue is Of bronze, aud, together
with the pedestal, an unhewn block OF
stone, Was the gift Of Mrs. Abel Hey
wood to that city. The figure was con.
structed by Noble, the English sculptor.
Cromwell is well represented as standing
upon rough ground near a broken tree
stump. he is shown in the well-known
costume, tapped boots, heavy spurs,
leather gslntlets, and a leather coat
crossed by broad sword belt. His
sheathed sword rests on the ground, and
his right hand is upon its hilt The head
is bare. The portrait is said to be a
faithful one. The London Times says OF
the sculptor: "The artist has nowhere
strained for effect, but has everywhere
worked ont conception grand and sim
pie. and thas has attained the greatest
effect. He has seized no special occa-
sion, but the longer we contemplate the
statue the more we perceive that it con-
tains the aggregate of the whole man
his wisdom in peace and his strength in
war, his unhinching ambition and his
severe pietY." t
The proceedings at the unyeiling Of
the statue were unostentstious but i'm
prsssive. The neighborhood was
thronged with spectators. A letter was
read from Carlyle's daughter in which
the great essayist regretted, by proxy,
his inability to be present at the cere-
monies
Addresses were made by Mr.. Abel
Haywood and other aldermen of Man
chester, and by Mr.. Thomas Bayley Pot
ter, member of Parliament. Mr.. Potter,
in the course of his speech, remarked
that this tardy act Of justice to the mem
ory of Cromwell was most appropriate
in that city where the greatest move.
ments in favor Of progress had been
carried on. There was other work yet
to do, and he had no doubt that in the
doing of it Manchester would maintain
the position it had held before. BE was
proud to know that in the new town hall
Of RoehdSle an appropriate recognition
of the Protector had been made, mas
much as, for the first time in recording
the various kings, the figure of Crom,
we'll appeared on the painted window
between the Chsrleses. He hoped and
trusted it would not be very long before
the prejndices which might now be fell
by some persona against the Protector
would be so far overcome that q statue oil
Cromwell might be placed in the palace
of Westminster. He could not help
thinking there was something contempt
ible-something that was not creditable
Ito England-that the memory of Crom
we'll should have been so long neglected.

Won BulOW's Eccentri0ities az Re-
hearsal.

Baltimore Bulletin.l
DR.. Hans Won Bulow is great artist,
and justly entitled to artistic eceentrici.
ties. He splashed down into our quiet
center, and in the course of very few
hours had everything thing in buzz.
His style of play is so eminently disci.
phned, smooth and refined, and his cast
Of face so military and seli.restrained
that one hardly looks for the oddities Of
temper that have marked his visit here.
II was the fortune of the writer hereof
to see him at the rehearsal on the morn
ing Of the first concert day. He came
in in quick, nervous way, stood a mo.
ment at the back of the theater, took off
his overcoat with jerk and slammed it
down. He listened for a while to the
orchestra, which was rehearsing one of
the overtures Of Gluck, aud nodded his
head at the rythm with smile Of sp-
proval. Suddenly, as if shot out of a
gun, he disappeared, and in a moment
afterward advanced through the forest
Of trombones aud big 6ddles to
the conductors standl aud seized
Mr.. Hamerik = his old pupil'-
caught him to his bosom and
kissed him. This chaste yet tender
dalliance lasted but moment, and the
darker side of his temper flashed out.
He walked to the piano, on which hung
sign whereon was inscribed the word
"Chickering II am MOI" he said with
look Of scorn, "a travelling advertise.
ment, and jerking of the sign laid the
large gilt letters face downward on the
stage. and cast at it glance of hatred,
as though it were loathsome reptile.
Calling out to an acquaintance in the
auditorium he said in good idiomatic
English: Mr.. -, that jackass has
sent down sign board with the piano"
He then lapsed into German, in which
the words lump and "schweinhund"
were audible. After he began the re-
hearsal, in one OF the orchestral inter
ludes, he got up and tripped softly
around, picked up the hated sign and
carried and stuck it under the tail end
Of the grand piano; and then in another
interval walked around there and kicked
it. Thus was he appessed with blood.
