WHEN PAGANINI PLAYS
A New Translation of Heinrich
Heine's Famous Description of
the Performance of the,
Great Paganini.
Copyright, 2839, by Ervin Wardman.
/AWvA/VV\J
I believe that only one person has
succeeded in fixing the real face of
Paganini on paDer.' He is a deaf painter
named Lyser, who, in his brilliant
madness, drew the head of Paganini so
well with a few strokes of his crayon
that the beholder laughs and is fright
ened at once at the resemblance. "The
devil directed my hand," said the deaf
painter to me, giggling mysteriously
.and nodding with good natured irony,
as.he was used to do when he indulged
in his harmless jests. This painter
. ever had been a curious creature.
Despite his deafness he loved music en
thusiastically, and it is said that if he
was near enough to the orchestra he
could read the music from the faces
-of the musicians and that he could
judge of the more or less successful
execution by their finger motions. In
deed, he wrot? the operatic criticisms
for an important, newspaper of Hanir
burg. After all, what is there wonder
ful in this? The deaf painter could,
see the tones In the visible signature
of the music/ There are persons to
whomx the tones themselves are only
invisible signatures, in which they.hear j
colors and forms. j
I am .sorry that ' 1 own that little i
?drawing of Lyser's no longer. Only in
glaring b?ack, hasty lines could there
be seized those fablelike features.
. which seemed to belong more to the j
sulphurous shadow realm than to the
' sunny world v. * life.
"Assuredly the devil guided my
band." insisted the deaf - painter, as ?
.we stood before the Alster pavilion in i
Hamburg on the day when Paganini .
?T"v? his first concert there. "Yes, my ;
friend," he continued, "it is trae what 1
the whole world is saying-that he has :
sold himself to the devil, body 'nd
soul, to become the bos': violin player, j
to fiddle, millions into his pockets, and
first to get away, from the slave gal- j
ley. where he had suffered so many ;
years. For see, friend, when he was
orchestra leader in Lucca, he fell in
love with a theater princess, became !
jealous of a priest, stabbed his faith- I
less Amata in good Italian style, was ;
sent to the galley in Genoa and, as 1 !
have said, sold himself to the devil to :
get away, to become the best violin
player and to lay each one of us under ;
tribate tonight to the extent of $2. But j
see you! All good spirits praise God! ;
See, there he comes himself, with his j
suspicious familiar."
Indeed it waa Paganini himself. He ?
wore a dark gray overcoat, which
reached to his feet, making him look .
very tail. The long, black hair fell to I
his shoulders in torn curls and formed I
a dark frame around the pale, corpse- j
like face, on which sorrow, genius and !
iell had graved their imperishable \
signs. Beside him danced a short, .
. comfortable figure, prosaically ornate, j
rosy, wrinkled face, a little light gray ;
coat, with steel buttons, saluting to all :
sides with offensive friendliness, but
always squinting upward full of wor
ried timidity at the gloomy form which
.stalked, grave and thoughtful, at his
side, t _? imagined that he saw that
picture of the place where Faust ls
walking with Wagner before the thea
ter in Leipsic. The deaf painter made
comments on tl?e two shapes in his
own fantastic way and called my at
tention particularly to the measured,
broad steps of Paganini. "Is it not so,"
asked be, "as If he carried the iron bar
still between his ankles? He has ac
quired for good the habit of walking
'that way. See, too, how contemptuous
ly ironical is the glance which he sends
down on his companion when he bur
dens- him with his prosaic questions.
But he cannot rid himself of that com
panion. A bloody pact binds him to
;this servant, who is nobody else than
satan. The ignorant public, lt Is true,
thinks that this companion is Harris,
the -writer of comedies and anecdotes,
whom Paganini has taken along to
manage the finances. The public does
not know that the devil merely borrow
ed his body from Mr. George Harris
and that the poor soul of that poor
creature 3s locked up in a chest in Han
over with other rubbish to wait till the
devil returns its flesh envelope. Prob
ably he will accompany his master, j
Paganini, in another form through the j
?world then-namely, as a black poo
dle."
If Paganini seemed fablelike and
weird to me In the bright noonday, ;
under the gre. a irees of Hamburg's ;
Maiden lane, how did his frightfully j
bizarre appearance amaze me in the '<
evening at the concert! On the stage I
there appeared a dark form that seem
ed to have risen from the under world. ?
That was Paganini in black gala dress, j
the black coat and the black waistcoat
of a dreadful cut, as perhaps hellish ,
etiquette prescribes at the court of i
Proserpine, the black trousers tim- j
idly fluttering around the thin legs, i
The long arms seemed even lengthen
ed as he held the violin in one hand
and in the other the bow, and nearly
touched the ground with them while
he displayed his nameless bows before |
the public. In the angular distortions
of his body there was a dreadful wood
enness, and also something grotesquely
animallike, so that one had a strange
desire to laugh; but h's face, which
seemed still mop.? cadaverously white
in the bright light of the stage, had
something so beseeching, so stupidly
humble,. that a horrible pity drove
away the desire to laugh. Has he
learned these motions from an au
|>maton or from a dog? Is this beg
ging look that of a dying man or lurks
there behind it the saturnine humor of
a sly miser? Is this a living man who
is dying, and who ls to amuse the pub
lic In the arena of art like, a dying
gmcrmtur, witn ms spasnio?ia ii
ments, or is it a dead man, who
climbed out of the grave, a vam
with the violin, who sucks, if not
blood out of our hearts, at all ev
the money out of our pockets?
Such questions crossed themselv?
my head while the master cut his J
clous compliments. But all i
thoughts had to hush when the i
derful master put his violin to his
and began to play.
With the first, stroke of his bow
scenery around and behind him
changed. Suddenly, he stood with
music stand in a. cheerful room, d
rated in merry disorder with twh
furniture In the taste of Pompad?
everywhere small mirrors, gilded .
orettes, Chinese porcelain, a most
lightful chaos of ribbons, garla:
white gloves, false pearls, diadem.'
gilt, such as-one linds in the studi<
a prima donna. Paganini's app<
ance, too, had changed, and to
greatest advantage. He wore si
knee breeches of lilac satin, a si]
broidered white waistcoat, a coat
light blue velvet, with gold butte
and the bair, carefully dressed in li
curls, plajwd around his face, wh
was all young and rosy, and sh
with tenderness when he cast
glances at the pretty damsel who sb
by his side while he played.
Truly, at his side I saw. a pre
young thing, dressed in the old st:
the while satin swelling below
hips, the waist charmingly tiny,
powdered hair dressed high, the pre
round face looking out freely w
flashing eyes, finely painted chee
beauty plasters and an impertine
sweet little nose. In her hand she h
a white paper roll, and the motion
her lips, as well as the coquett
swinging to and fro of her shoulde
made it appear that she was singh

Yes. the tones indulged in a mer:

But a spider, a spider sometimes ea
bring to such lovesick butterflies
sudden bitter fate. Did the your
heart forbode such a thing? A me
ancholy sighing tone, like a premon
tion of a disaster stealthily approacl
ing,- glided softly through the most ei
trancing melodies that glowed out (
Paginini's violin. His eyes becam
moist. Adoring, he vkneels before hi
Amata. Alas! As he bends to kiss bc
feet, he sees under the bed a littl
priest! I know uot what he had again?
the poor fellow, but the Genoan bc
came pale as death. He seizes the li'
tie one with furious hands, boxes Iii
ears and kicks him, throws him out c
the door, then pulls a long stiletto ou
of his pocket and thrusts it into th
breast of the young beauty
But in this moment there soundei
"Bravo! Bravo!" from all sides. Ham
burg's enthusiastic men and womel
gave their best applause to the grea
artist who had just ended the first par
of his concert and who was bowing
with even more angles and contortion:
than before. In his face, it seemed t<
me, there whined a humility still mon
beseeching than before. In his eye?
stared a fearful terror, like that of ?
poor sinner.
As Paganini began to play anew, i
became somber before my eyes. Th(
tones did not transform themselves
Into bright dolors and shapes. Th(
form of the master rather draped itsell
in gloomy shadows, from the dark
ness of which bis uiusic wailed
with most stabbing tones of lament
Only sometimes, when a small lamjj
that hung above him threw its
dim light on bim, could I see his
pallid face, in which, however, youth
iiad not yet been extinguished. Strange
was his costume, split into two colors,
of- which, the one was yellow and the
other red. On his ankles there weighed
heavy chains. Behind him there moved
a face whose physiognomy hinted mer
rily at that of a goat and long, hairy
hands, which, as it seemed, belonged to
the face, occasionally reached helping
ly into the strings of the violin which
Paganini was playing. Sometimes, too,
they guided the hand which held the
bow, and,a bleating laugh then accom
panied the tones that welled ever more
painfully and bleeding from the violin.
Those were tones like the song of fall
en angels who had 'reveled with daugh
ters of earth and, bowed with shame,
are descending into the underworld.
Those were tones in whose abysmal
depth neither comfort nor hope glim
mered. When the holy ones in heaven
hear such tones, then the praise of God
dies on their paling lips, and, weeping,
they cover their gentle heads. Some
times when that goat laugh bleated
into the tortures of this playing I could
see in the background a horde of little
women, who nodded in evil merriment
with their ugly heads. "Prom the violin
then there rushed sounds of fear and a
pitiable moaning and a sobbing as has
not been heard on earth before and as
never may be heard on earth again
unless it be in the valley of Jehosha
phat when the colossal trumpets of tho
judgment aro wound and the naked
corpses crawl from their graves and
await their fate
Had a string really broken? I do not
know. I noticed* only the transfiguration
of tho tones, and with them Paganini
and his surroundings seemed totally
changed again. I could scarcely recog
nize him iu the brown monk's habit,
wbicli hid him rather than clothed him.
Thc wild face, half secreted in the
hood, a rope around his hips, barefoot
ed, a solitary, d?liant shape. Paganini
stood on a rocky promontory by the
sea aud played the violin. It was thc
time of dusk, the red evening Hooded
the wide Hoods of the ocean, wbicli be
came ever more ruddy and roared ever
more solemnly, in mysterious accord
with the strains of the violin. But the I
morA-juddy the sea became the more
patna became the heaven, and when at
last he swelling billows looked all like
scar .et blood, the sky above became
ghastly pale, corpse white, and great
ana mreatening mere came out mc
stars, and these stars were black
black, like shinging coals. But the
tones of the Tiolln became ever more
stormy and daring. In the eyes of the
dreadful player man gleamed such a
mocking lust for destruction, and his
thin lips moved so frightfully fast that
it seemed as if he were muttering ac
cursed words of enchantment of a long
dead time, with which one calls the
storm and looses the wicked spirits
that lie fettered in the chasms of the
sea.
Sometimes, when he, thrusting his
naked arm, gaunt, far out of the flow
ing monk's sleeve, swept the air madly
with his bow, then he seemed indeed a
magician who rules the elements with
his wand, and then it howled like mad
in the sea depth, and the fear stricken
blood waves then sprang so mightily
Into the air that they almost flecked
the pale canopy of heaven and the
black stars with their red foam. It
howled, it shrieked, it cracked, as if
the world were about to break into
ruins, and ever more stubbornly did
the monk scrape his violin. He meant,
with the might of his raving will, to
break the seven seals with which Solo
mon had closed the iron pots after be
had Imprisoned the conquered demons
in them. Those pots had been sunk
in the sea by the wise king, and they
were the voices of the pent spirits that
I heard while Paganini's violin growl
ed its angriest bass tones. But at last
I thought to hear exultations of libera
tion, and from the red blood waves
there rose the heads of the unfettered
demons-monsters of fabled ugliness,
crocodiles with bats' wings, snakes
with antlers, sea dogs with patriarchal
long beards, green camel heads, all star
ing with cold, sagacious eyes and
reaching with long fins at the fiddling
monk. In his madness his hood had
fallen from his face, and the curling
hair, blown wildly by the wind, twined,
around his head like black serpents.
The appearance ..as so crazing that
I closed my eyes. Then the whole en
chantment vanished, and when I look
ed up again I saw the poor Genoan in
his customary shape, making bis cus
tomary bows, while the public applaud
ed without end.
Quietly Paganini brought his violin
to his chin again, and with the first
motion of the bow- the wonderful trans
figuration of the tones began once
more. But they were not so glaring in
color or so decided in outline. The
tones unfolded themselves calmly, ma
jestically, surging and swelling, like
those of an organ in a cathedral, and
all the surroundings had expanded
wide and high to a space colossal, such
as not thc bodily eye, but only the eye
of the spirit, can grasp. In the middle
of the space floated a flaming sphere,
where there stood, gigantic and proud,
a man who played the violin. This
sphere-was it the sun? I do not know. ?
But in the features of the man I recog
nized Paganini, ideally beautified, ce
lestially purified, lovingly smiling> nis
body bloomed in strongest manliness, j
a light blue garment inclosed the enno
bled limbs, around his shoulder billow
ed in shining curls the black hair, j
and as bc stood there, firm and sure, 1
an uplifted image of God and played
the violiu, it was as though the whole
creation barkened to his tones.
, He was the mau planet, around
whom the universe moved with meas
ured solemnity and sounded in celes
tial rhythm. Those large lights, which
floated around him in such peaceful
splendor, were they the stars of heav
en? And that sounding harmony that
rose from their motions, was it the
song of the spheres, of which poets
and seers have told such delightful
things? Sometimes, wl?cn I strained
my sight into the dawning distance, I
thought to see all flowing white gar
ments, wherein were hidden colossal
pilgrims, with white staves in their
hands, and, curious, the golden buttons
of the staves were the great lights
.vhich I had thought were stars. These
pilgrims moved in wide circles around
the player, ever more shining did thc
golden burtons of the staves become
from thc tones of his violin, and the
choral songs that came from their lips
and those I had thought wore the
songs of the spheres were really only
the dying echoes of that violin. An uu
namable holy fervor dwelled in these
strains, which sometimes trembled,
hardly audible, like secret whispering
on the water, again swelled, sweet
thrilling, like the hunting horn in the
moonlight, and then at last roared on
with unbridled delight, as if a thou
sand bards were striking the strings of
their harps and raising their voices to
a song 0/ triumph. These were strains
such as the ear never hears, but only
the heart can dream when it lies- at j
night on the bosom of the beloved.- j

French is spoken In every consulate

more widely spoken every year and
will carry a traveler almost a's far tis

THE CIRCUMLOCUTION OF THE ENG
LISH POSTOFFICE.
Travelings and Troubles of a Citizen
of the Great Metropolis In His At
- tempt to Mail a Little Package For
Delivery In Nevr York.
In this greatest of all cities, London,
there is a place called St. Martin's ie
Grand, and in St. Martin's le Grand
there is an institution which fills Doth
sides of the street and. in which every
man, woman and child of these blessed
islands has more or less of a peculiar
interest. It is called the general post
office and is presided over by the latest
of a long line of illustrious dukes and is
really a very great concern indeed.
Well, I went there the other day. I
did not go on some extraordinary er
rand. I did not wish to worry the duke
or to disconcert the officials with ques
tions as to the rules and regulations.
As a matter of fact, I went to post a
packet of photographs.
Now, it is a remarkable fact that al
though I have lived in Loudon for a
good many years I had never previous
ly posted anything at the general post
office. I should not have done so on
this occasion but for the tact that the
clerk at my local office had got a more
than usually acute attack of asininity
and could not tell me for the life of
him what to do to get my modest pack
et of photographs off by that evening's
mail to New York.
It wanted just five minutes to the
closing time for the American mail
when I arrived, hot and breathless
with my rapid walk, in St. Martin's le
Grand. I wanted three things, my par
cel weighed, the necessary stamps and
information as to where to post iL
Now, at most postofiices when you re
quire stamps you make your way to a
door in the immediate vicinity of the
posting slots, where you find the room
devoted to their sale.
Not so at the London general post
office. I approached the nearest door.
A red braided official sitting on a sack
asked what I wanted.
"Stamps." I said.
"You'll get them in the building
across the street," he answered.
Dodging across the street, therefore,
at the usual risk of life which attends
such a performance in this greatest of
all cities, 1 ran into a room and up to a
long counter, and. seeing close at hand
a notice bearing the legend. "Late fee.
foreign parcels." I made for it and ask
ed the clerk to kindly "tell me how
mucli that would take."
He told me to apply half way down
the counter. I did so, and, after
weighing my packet, another clerk told
me it would take a two penny halfpen
ny stamp.
"And the late fee?" I queried.
"Oh. do you want it to go by this
mail? Oh, all right. Another halfpen
ny."
"Where must I post it?" 1 asked.
"Outside, across, tho street." he re
plied.
Glancing at the clock. 1 rushed out
and. diving across the thoroughfare,
began a careful study of the various
posting slots to discover which particu
lar oue was for the reception of late fee
packets for the foreign mail. I studied
in vain, and. catching sight of another
red braided official in a corner, I asked
him to direct me. After a look at my
packet ho said:
"Hand it over the counter across the
street"
With a remark not loud, but deep, I
once moje dodged the traffic, charged
up tho steps, upsetting two men and a
boy on the way, and thrust my parcel
over that brass railing which the au
thorities with much prudence and fore
sight have instituted in these establish
ments obviously to protect tho so call
ed officials from the righteous fury of
au outraged public.
"What is it?" asked tho clerk.
"I assure you," I replied, "that this is
a packet of photographs, tied round
with string and directed to New York."
"Well, you must post it across the
street." he said.
Steeling myself to a frightful calm
ness, I explained to him that I had al
ready been three times across the
street over that same packet, but that
nevertheless 1 would cheerfully cross
it a dozen times if thc regulations of
her majesty's service so directed. He
seemed hurt a little at my remarks, but
finally asked to have a closer look at
the packet. At last:
"Take it to the other end of the coun
ter," he directed, "and ask the man
there."
1 did so, and, after answering one or
two further assiuine queries as well as
my trembling sanity would allow, it
was accepted, and so at last 1 succeed
ed in posting a packet of photographs
to New York.

In the lirst place, silk corset strings
are invariably used. They are not
much more expensive than tlw cotton
ones and give far more satisfactory re
sults. Three separate laces are re
quired. The top one is laced loosely
to give case and fullness to thc bust.
The second one, which is shorter, is
pulled very tight lo compress the
waist line only, and thc third,' that
shapes the hips, is looser than the sec
ond, but tighter than the lirst. One
long string may be used instead of
three by leaving it loose at the top
and knotting it where it tightens above
and below the waist line, then tying
more loosely at the bottom. Much of
thc apparent flexibility of Yvette Guil
