from An Occasional Correspondent


ROME April. 2, 'S3
Sunny Italy" has had, during the last
two or three years. considerably less sun
shine and great deal more rain than
are in accordance with the traditions of
the climate of that beautiful land, and
inclement weather threatened to spoil the
popular enjoyment of the festivities held
in Rome to commemorate the four hun.
dreth anniversary of the birth of Raphael.
The inscription on the tomb in the Pan
theon Of the illustrous painter, written by
Cardinal Bembo, states that the day of
Raphael's birth was also that of his death,
and the day in question was the 9th of
April. The Romans, however, have very
good reasons for keeping the anniversary
Cd the 2Sth of March. and it Is sufficient
for the world to be certain that the great
artist died in 1920, and that he had lived,
as the epitaph states, thirty, seven years
''integer integros." The celebration at
Rome seems to have been bright and Joy.
Gus enough to console the great army of
sightseers for having been afflicted with
the dullest carnival and the coolest Lent
that have been known in the capitol of
Italy for many years, while the Raphael
commemoration was in its every aspect
pleasantly characteristic of the people of
the eternal city, who have by no means
lost their ancient appetite for "bread and
shows" although when ugly rumors of the
Roman fever frightened away the foreign
visitors, the poorer Romans occasionally
experience some difficulty in obtaining an
adequate supply of the staff of life. The
| festival, moreover, was one in which liber.
ais and clericals could join with equal
heartiness. Raphael was a painter and
poet, but he does not seem to have
had any politics at all. He died on the
very best terms with the church. The
pope had given him the benediction on his
deathbed, and he was engaged in marriage
to the neice of Cardinal Bibiena, although
some Of his biographies have stated that
the painter was averse from wedding
Maria Bibiena because Pope Leo X. had
promised TO bestow on him cardinals
hat. For the prince of paint ,rs to be
raised to the dignity of a prince of the
church would have been an unexampled
honor bestowed on art. But it was not to
be. Rayhael like Byron, died at thirty
seven; and astonishingly full of renown
as was his brief career, very little is known
of the individual man. That he painted
vast number of wonderful pictures; that
he was personally handsome; that he left
his wealth, after the endowment of n
chapel, to his pupils and friends; and that
he was the companion of princes-these
few facts have been nearly all that, until
a very recent period, his biographies have
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1883-04-18

had to work upon. The learned Passavaut,
however. discovered more and ample
materials for the painters life; and still
more recent writers have striven, and are
striving, further to develop onr knowledge
of a personality of which it may without
exaggeration, be said that 1t has grown
'dark from excess of light" In the blaze
of glory which surrounds the master who
produced the "Transfguration' and
"Spasimo di Scilia," the man Raphael has
hitherto been only family visible. From
the church of St. Genevieve, in Paris pro-
trndes a brazen hand. brandishing fam
ing torch. 1t is the tomb of Jean-Jaques
Rousseau; and the torch of the citizen of
Geneva is supposed to be still enlightning
the world. A brighter and purer light,
however, streams from the tomb of
Raphael Sanzio. 1t is the light of that
beauty the knowledge of which his short
but glorious life was spent in intoxicating
of that beauty which is the inseparable
handmade of truth.

CROSSING BROOKLYN BRIDGE-1 crossed
over the Brooklyn bridge for the first time
on Tuesday last; it is considerably more
than a mile long, from the top of the hill
where the station is being built in Brook
Ign. to Chatham street. The large station
in Brooklyn is to be used by the steam
drum cars for waiting rooms. etc.. and a
smaller building is being framed at the

asphaltum walk in the middle of the Brook

a thousand feet or more, and then climbed
down a ladder. or crude steps, to the north
orn flooring in which n crack occurred
here and there, showing the frigbtful
chasm below, one glimpse of which was
enough to make man finch. The floor
ing on this side was of panks, but the
parapets being up there was no danger
When | reached the east tower, the
magnificent character of the arch there
seemed to show more wonderfully than
from the surface of the river below 1t is
fact that on the top of each of the
towers two houses can be built, of 20
feet front and 1913 feet depth. ANY man
who owns house and lot Of the full depth
in New York can look out of his back
window on his yard and his neighbours,
and consider that both of them do not
cover as much space, by another half
building lot. as the top of these bridge
towers. The East river assmes beauty
of color and extent from the bridge that
one could hardly imagine; nearly the
whole river, from Governors island to
Blackwell's island, lies under the eye, and
it seems to be the principal thing in New
York landscape and those buildings which
border it, especially up toward Williams
burg, rise enormously from their great
bulk, in general, sugar refineries. New
York itself seems, from the Brooklyn end
of the bridge, like town on hill which
rises to certain profile or a parapet, and
beyond that is smoke and vagueness.
The four great cables, that droop as mod
estly from their towers as four white
washed Bologna sausages, do not attract

the eye to other things. None Of Roeb-
ling's bridges seems lighter than this, the
imposing nature ofthe towers and cables and
breadth of the bridge making one almost
forget that it is the cables which are doing
the work. The bridge is as solid as
turnpike road in the middle of the coun-
try; it neither rattles nor trembles, and
however nervous one is stepping over it
at first, he soon feels secure and feasts his
eyes on the ever opening panoramas.

ENoCH ARDEN IN CoNNECTICUT.-A
correspondent of the Hartford Courant
records death in his S9th year of Harry
Rockwell at East Hampton on the Sth,
who was the victim of another Enoch
Arden scrape which he endured with
emotions 1--WE must imagine, we cannot
describe" In 1917 he married the daugh-
ter of Elisha Niles. the village pedagogue
of Chatham. Two years later he left his
wife and child and sought his fortune in
Georgia and alterward took the sea. His
captain was u hard master and during a
mutiny he deserted and after " incredible
suffering,''as Robinson Crusoe would say,
reached q port and shipped again in an
English man of-war. England and Spain
were at war, and being captured
Rockwell was thrown into Spanish
prison and barely escaped starvation. He
had numerous other adventures in the
American navy and the merchant marine.
During all this time he did not com mum.
cate with his family and at the end OF six
years his wife married again. On his ar
rival at New York he heard of his fate
and betook himself once more to the con-
solutions of the deep .for period of 10
years.In 1881 George Evans, husband No.
2,died leaving three children,two of whom
are still living in Connecticut. In 1885
Rockwell again came to this country to
get his mail and, learning the facts through
various neighbors who did not recognize
him, he at length asked shelter of Widow
Evans during thunder storm. We are
asked TO believe that his appearance
reminded one of dream she had had, and
this led to an identification, tears, en-
braces, explanations and within five days
a new marriage. Three sons have since
been born to them one died in the rebel
lion and another still lives with his mother.

found welcome with her beloved sister

from her by death just eleven months
before her own decease. Her only child,
son of but 25 years of age, lay at the
point of death for weeks previous to her
own death, and died but four days after
his monthers funeral. She leaves ven.
