A New Translation of Heinrich / Heine's famoai Description of S. the Performance of the y Great Paganini. y Copyright. 180'j, by Ervin Wardmaiu I believe that only one person bas succeeded in fixing the real face of Paganini on paper." He is n deaf painter named Lyser, who, In bis brilliant madness, drew the bend of Paganini so .well wltb a few strokes of bis crayon that the beholder laughs and is fright ened nt once at the resemblance. "Tho devil directed my hand," said the deaf painter to me, giggling mysteriously and nodding wltb good natured irony, ns be was used to do when he Indulged in his harmless jests. This painter ever had been a curious creature. Despite his deafness be loved music en thusiastically, and It Is said that if he was near enough to the orchestra ho could read the music from tho faces of the musicians and that he could judge of the more or less successful execution by their finger motions. In deed, he wrote the operatic criticisms for an important, newspaper of Ham burg. After all, what Is there wonder ful lu this? The deaf painter could see the tones 'a ihe visible signature of the music. There are poisons to whom the tones themselves are only invisible signatures. In which they hear j colors and forms. I I am sorry that ' 1 own that little- j drawing of Lyser's no longer. Only in j glaring black, hasty lines could there ? bc seized tbose fablelike features. | which seemed to belong more to the ; sulphurous shadow realm than to thc j sunny world of life. "Assuredly the devil guided my ? band." insisted the deaf. painter, as ; we stood before the Alster pavillon in ; Hamburg on ibo day when Paganini ; gave bis first concer* there. "Yes, my j friend." he continued, "it is true what j the whole world ls saj lng-that he has ! sold himself to the devil, body and soul, to become the best violin player, j to fiddle, millions into bis pockets, and j first to get away from the slave gal- ? ley. where he had suffered so many j years. For soc. friend, when he was orchestra leader in I.ucca. be fell in love with a theater princess, became I jealous of a priest, stabbed his faith- ? less Amata in good Italian style, was j sent to the galley In Genoa and, as 1 have said, sold himself to the devil to get away, to become the best violin j player and to lay each one of us under I tribute tonight to the extent of $2. But see you! Ail good spirits praise God! Sec. there he comes himself, with ids ? suspicious familiar." Indeed lt was Paganini himself. He wore a dark gray overcoat, which reached to his feet, making him look very tall. The long, black hair fell to bis shoulders in torn curls and formed a dark frame- around the pale, corpse like face, on which sorrow, genius and hell had graved their Imperishable signs. Beside him danced a . short. ? comfortable figure, prosaically ornate, ? ro5"y, 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, g ave and thoughtful, at his side. Ono imagined that he saw that picture of the place where Faust ls walking with Wagner before the thea ter in Lelpslc. The deaf painter made comments on tbje 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 he, "as if he carried the iron bar still between his ankles? He baa ac quired fer good the habit of walking that way. See, too, how contemptuous ly ironical is the glance which ho sends down on bis companion when h? bur dens- him with bis prosaic questions. But he cannot rid himself of that com panion. A bloody p-r.ct binds him to this servant, who is nobody.else than satan. The ignorant public, it-is. true, thinks that this companion is Harris, the writer of comedies and anecdotes, whom Paganini bas taken along to manage the finances. The public doss not know that the devil merely borrow ed his body from Mr. George Harris and that the poor soul of that poor creature Is locked up in a chest In Han over with other rubbish to walt till the devil returns Its flesh envelope. Probt ably be will accompany his master, Paganini, In another form through the ?world then-namely, as a ' black poo dle." If Paganini seemed fablelike and weird to me In the bright noonday, under the green trees of Hamburg's Malden lane, bow did his frightfully bizarre appearance amaze me in the evening nt the concert! On the stage there appeared a dark form that seem ed to have risen from the under-world. That was Paganini in black gala, dress, the black coat and the black waistcoat of a dreadful cut, as perhaps hellish etiquette prescribes at the court of Proserpine, the black trousers tim idly S uttering around the thin legs. The long arms seemed, even lengthen ed a? he held tho. violin In one hand and in tho 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 bad a strange deslro to laugh; but. his face, which seemed still more cadaverously white in the bright light of tho stage, had something so beseeching, so stupidly bumble,, that a horrible pity., drove away, the desire to laugh. Has ha learned these motions from an au ? Jiu a ton or from a dog? Is thia beg ting look that' of a dyin# man or .Inrks there behind it the. saturnine humor of a sly miser? Ia this a living mi n who ls dying, and who l# to amuse tho nub ile lu, tba aren? of art .Uko. a.. turing .V,' .. 'c. . ?' J.?. ' ' . - ' . . . ?. v I femcrmiur, winn niB spasmouio inure ments, or Is It a dead man, who bas climbed out of the grave, a vampire, with the violin, wbor sucks, if not tho blood out of our hearts, at all events the money out of our pockets? Such questions crossed themselves In my head while the master cut his atro cious compliments. But all such thoughts had to hush when the won derful master put1 hts violin to his chin and began to play. With tho llr8t stroke of his bow tho scenery around and behind him was changed. Suddenly he stood with bis music stand lu a. cheerful room, deco rated lu merry disorder with twisted furniture lu tho taste of Pompadour; everywhere small mirrors, gilded An> orettes, Chinese porcelain, a most de lightful chaos of ribbons, garlands, white gloves, false pearls, diadems of gilt, such as ono linds in the studio of a prima donna. Paganini's appear ance, too, had changed, and to tho greatest advantage. He wore short knee breeches of lilac satin, a sliver broidered white waistcoat, a coat of light blue velvet, with gold buttons, and tbc bair, carefully dressed in littlo curls, pinjad around his face, which was all young and rosy, and shone with tenderness when bc cast his glances at the pretty damsel wbo stood by bis side while he played. Truly, at his side I saw a pretty young thing, dressed in tho old style, the white satin swelling below tho hips, the waist charmingly tiny, tho powdered hair dressed high, the pretty round face looking out freely with Hashing eyes, finely painted cheeks, beauty plasters and an impertinent, sweet little noso. In her hand she had a white paper roll, and the motion of her lips, as well as the coquettish swinging to and fro of her shoulders, made it appear that she was singing. But no tone was audible, and only from the violin play with which young Paginlni accompanied thc charming child could 1 ascertain what she sang and what he bimself felt in his soul during her singing. Oh, these were melodics like those fluted forth by the nightingale In thc evening dusk, when the rose's odor makes her expectant spring heart drunken with desire! Ob, that was a melting, sensually dying, blessedness! These were tones that kissed each other, then fled petulantly, then again embraced with laughter, became one and died in drunken unity. Yes. the tones indulged In a merry. play, like butterflies when the one teasingly avoids thc other, hides be hind a flower, ls caught at last and then. light heartedly happy, flutters up ward iu the golden sunlight. But a spider, a spider sometimes can bring to such lovesick butterflies a sudden bitter fate. Did th? young heart forbode such a thing? A mel- j aucboly sighing tone, like a premoni tion of a disaster stealthily approach ing, glided softly through the most en trancing melodics that glowed out of ; Paginini's violin. Ills eyes became j moist. Adoring, he 'kneels before bis j Amata. Alas! As he bends to kiss her feet, he sees under the bed a little priest! I know uot what he had against the poor fellow, but the Genonn be came pnle as death. He seizes the lit tle one with furious bauds, boxes lils ears and kicks bim, throws him out of the door, then pulls a long stiletto out of his pocket and thrusts It Into the breast of the young beauty But In this moment there sounded "Bravo! Bravo!" from all sides. Ham burg's enthusiastic men and women gave their best applause to the great artist who bad just ended the first part of his concert, and who was bowing ! willi even more t agios and contortions than before. In his face, it seemed to mc, there whined a humility still r lore beseeching than before. In his eyes stared a fearful terror, like that of a poor sinner. As Paganini began to play anew, it became somber before my eyes. The tones did not transform themselves into bright dolors and shapes. The form of the master rather draped Itself in gloomy shadows, from the dark ness of which bis jnusic wailed with most stabbing tones of lament. Only sometimes, when a small lamp that hung above bim threw its dim light on him, could 1, see his pallid face, in which, however, youth had not yet been extinguished. Strange was his costume, split into two colors, of which, the one was yellow and the other red. Oa his ankles there weighed heavy chaina 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 ploying. Sometimes, too, they guided the hand which held the bow, and ja 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 wltb daugh ters of earth and, bowed with shame, bro 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 Hps, 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 ci little women,, who nodded In evil merriment With their ugly bends. Tro m 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 are .wound and the naked corpses crawl from their graves and await their fab> Had a string really broken? I dc not know. I noticed* only the transfiguration of tho tones, and with them Paganini and bis .surroundings seemed totally changed again. I could scarcely recog nize him in tin brown monk's habit, which hld him rather than clothed him. The wild face, Iiaif secreted. In tho hood, a ropo around his hips, barefoot ed, a solitary, defiant shape. Paganini stood on a rocky promontory by the sea and played the violin: It was the time of dusk, the red evening flooded the wide floods of the ocean, which be came ever moro , ruddy, and roared ever more solemnly,; in . mysterious accord with the strains-of the violin.: But the more ruddy the sea become tho more pallid became the heaven, and when at burt the swelling billows looked all like scarlet blood, : the sky above became ahastly Daley coroso - white, and great ana tureatening tn etc carne our tao stars, and these stars were black black, like shiuging coals. But thc tones of tlie violin became ever more stormy and daring. In the eyes of the dreadful player man gleamed such a mocking lust for destruction, and his thia lips moved so frightfully fast that lt seemed as If he were muttering ac cursed words of enchantment of a long dead time, with which ono calls tho storm and looses tho wicked spirits that He fettered In the chasms of tho sea. Sometimes, when he, thrusting his naked arm, gaunt, far out of tho flow ing monk's sleeve, swept the ab* madly with his bow. tben bc seemed indeed a magician who rules tho clements with his wand, and then it howled like mad in the sea depth, and the fear stricken blood waves then sprang so mightily i into the air that they almost flecked I the pale canopy of heaven und tho I black stars with their red foam. It I howled, lt shrieked, it cracked, as if the world were about to break into ruins, and ever more stubbornly did the monk scrape his violin. Ile meant, with the might of his raving will, to ? break the seven seals with which Solo ! mon had closed tho iron pots ?fter he ! had imprisoned the conquered demons ! in them. Those pots bad been sunk I in the sea by the wiso king, and they I were the voices of tho pent spirits that ! I heard while Paganini's violin growl . cd its angriest bass tones. But at last ; I thought to hear exultations of libera ! tion, and from the rod blood waves j there rose tho heads of the uufettered i demons-monsters of fabled ugliness, I crocodiles with bats' wings, snakes : with antlers, sea dogs with patriarchal ! long beards, green camel heads,all star I lng with cold, sagacious ej-es and I reaching with long flus at the fiddling ! monk. In his madness bis hood had I fallen from lils face, and tho curling ? hair, blown wildly by the wind, twined. ; around bis head !!kc black serpe?is I The appearance ..as so crazing that j I closed my eyes. Then the whole cn I chantment vanished, and when I look I ed up again I saw the poor Genoan in j his customary shape, making bis cus ' ternary bews, while thc public applaud ed without end. Quietly Paganini brought his violin to bis chin again, and with tho first motion of the bow-the wonderful trans ? figuration of the tones began once I more. But they were not so glaring in ' color or so decided lu outline. Tho j tones unfolded themselves calmly, ma il jestically, surging and swelling. like ' those of nu organ in a cathedral, and ! all the surroundings bad expanded wide and high to a space colossal, suoli ; as not tlie bodily eye, but only the eye ' of the spirit, can grasp. In the middle ! of the space floated a flaming sphere. whore there stood, gigantic and proud. ! a man who played tho violin. This '? sphere-was it the sun? I do not know. . But in the features of the man I recog ! nlzcd Paganini, Ideally beautified, ce I lestially purified, lovingly smiling." His body bloomed in strongest manliness, a light blue garment inclosed the enno bled limbs, around his shoulder billow ed in shining curls tho black hair, and as he stood there, finn and sure, .an uplifted image of God and played the violin, it was as though the whole I creation barkened to his tones. ! ,He was the mau planet, around 1 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 thc song of tho sph?res, of which poets and seers have told such delightful things? Sometimes, wlien 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 .vhlch I had thought were stars. These pilgrims moved In wide circles around the player, ever more shining did the golden burtons of the staves become from the tones of his violin, and the choral songs that came from their Hps and those I had thought were the songs of the spheres were really only the dying echoes of that violin. An un namable. hely fervor dwelled In these strains, whieh 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 of triumph. These were strains such as the ear never hears, but enly the heart can dream when lt Hes at night on the bosom of the beloved. Kew York Press. I^ansraaorea L'seffnl to Traveler?.

Travel tn va and Trouble* of tx CitUeu of tue Greut Metropolis In Illa At * tempt to Mull u Little I'arkoiio For Delivery In New Yurk. In this greatest of nil cities, Loudon, there la n placo called St. Martin's le Cram!, and lu St. Martin's le Grand there ls au Institution which 1111s both sides of the street and in which every niau, woman and child of these blessed Islands bas more or less of a peculiar Interest. It is called tlie general post office and ls presided over by the latest of a long Uno of illustrious dukes and ls really a very great concern indeed. Well, 1 went there the other day. I did not go on some extraordinary er rand. 1 did not wish to worry the duke or to disconcert the ofiioials willi ques tions as to the rules and regulations. As a matter of fact. 1 went to post a packet of photographs. Now, It ls a remarkable fact that al though I have lived in Loudon for a good many years 1 bad never previous ly posted anything at tlie general post o?lce. I should not have done so on tlds occasion but for tlie fact that the clerk at my local otllce had got a more than usually acute attack of asininity and could not tell nie for the life of him what to do to get my modest pack et of photographs on? by that eveniug's mail to New York. It wanted just Ove minutes to the closing time for tlie American mail when I arrived, hot and breatldess with my rapid walk, in St. Martin's le Grand. I wanted three things, my par cel weighed, the necessary stamps and Information ns to where to post it Now, at most postoillces when you re quire staiupa you make your way to a door In the immediate vicinity of thc poseur, slots, where you bud the room devoted to their sale. Not so at the Loudon general post office. I approached the nearest door. A red braided official sitting on a sack i asked what I wanted. "Stamps." I said. "You'll get them lu the building across the street." he answered. Dodglug across tho street, therefore, at the usual risk of lifo which attends such a performance In this greatest of all cities, I ran into a room and up to a long counter, and. seeing close at hand a notice bearing thc legend. "Late fee. foreign parcels." 1 made for it and ask ed tho clerk to kindly "tell me how much that would take." Ile 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?" I asked. "Outside, across? tho street." he re plied. Glancing at the clock. 1 rushed out and. diving across tho thoroughfare, began a careful study of the various posting slots to discover which particu lar one was for thc reception of late fee packets for the foreign mail. I studied in. vain, nnd. catching sight of another red braided official in a corner, I asked him to direct nie. After a look at my packet he said: "Hand it over the counter across the street." With ? remark not loud, but deep, 1 once mogo dodged the traffic, charged up the steps, upsetting two men and a boy on the way, and thrust my parcel over that brass railing which tho au thorities with much prudence and fore sight have instituted lu these establish ments obviously to protect the so call ed officials from the righteous fury of an outraged public. "What is it?" asked thc clerk. "I assure you," I replied, "that this is a packet of photographs, tied round with string nud directed to New York." "Well, you must post it across the street," he said. Steeling myself so a frightful calm ness, I explained to bim that I had al ready been three times ac.-ss thG street over that same packet, but that nevertheless 1 would cheerfully cross lt a dozen times If the 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 esk the mau there." I did so, and, after answering one or two further nssinino queries as vveii as my trembling sanity would allow. It was accepted, and so at last I succeed ed In posting a packet of photographs to New York. And this Is a true story from "the greatest city In the world."-London Cor. New York Mall and Express.
