FEMALE ARTISTS OF GENEVA.

Mons. SIMoNn in his history of Switzerland, re-
lates the following anecdote, which is recommend
ed to the attention of the female readers of the
GARLAND, by one of their most ardent admirers
Mr.. de Candole, Professor of Botany at Geneva,
but whose reputation is European, made use, in
course of lectures, of very valuable collection of
drawings Of American plants, entrusted to him by
Spanish botanist Mr.. Mosno, who, having occa-
sion for this collection sooner than was expected,
sent for it back again. Mr.. de Candole, having
communicated the circumstances to his audience.
with the expression of his regrets, some ladies who
attended the lectures offered to COPY with the aid
of their friends the whole collection in week. and
the task was actually performed. The drawings,
eight hundred and sixty in number, and filling tl1r-
teen folio volumes, were executed by one hundred
and fourteen female artists one indeed of the la
dies alone did forty Of them. In most cases the
principal parts only Of each plant are coloured the
rest only traced with accuracy the execution, in
general, very good, and in some instances quite
mastery. There is not, perhaps, another town of
twenty-three thousand souls, where such number
of female artists, the greater part of course amateurs,
could be found. Notwithstanding the wide disper-

SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 25 1894,

To our patrons we tender the congratulations OF
the season, and hope that the anniversary of sa-
viour's birth may be to them day of true JOY that
its dawn may dispel every intrusion of Care, light
up the bright beam of Hope, and yield the holy
consultations of Religion

sion of the drawings, there were not any lost, and
one of them having been accidentally dropt in the
street, and picked up by girl ten years old, was
returned to MIR. de Candole, copied by the child,
and is no disparagement to the collection. On
Their occasion, several drawings were carried to a
wrong house, but there too they found artists able
and willing to do their part. This taste for the
arts and for knowledge in general, is UNIVERSAL
There too you hear music executed with that facil
ty which marks great practice, and you meet with
these accomplishments in families, where, from all
circumstances, you might wonder there should be
found time to acquire them this is explained, when
you remark how few women above the lower ranks
are seen about the streets, any where but at home.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Several poetcal pieces under consideration.
The authors must exercise little patience-a quail
ity so essential to poets We would remark, how
ever, to of them, that we fear the introduction
of some unpoetical phrases-such likewise"
"except," &c.-will forbid the publication of his
numbers. Poets, like soldiers, must undergo the
drill and have due regard to steps and time They
cannot expect success without labor-if they do,
they will scribble in vain.
The person who cobied the verses of OcTAv1AS,"
has not done him justice. There are many omis-
sons and errors, in the copy furnished us, which
will not take the liberty, at this time, to correct
knowing that the author himself writes a fair hand
as well as a smooth verse.
Our correspondent 6 ROSA" will excuse us for
SAYING, that we think we have seen his lines before.
Our Memory, false as it is, seems to tell US, he is
only introducing to an old acquaintance, whose
features recognize, but whose cognomem
have forgotten. The ingenious reader will de-
eide.
To all, we take this occasion to say, that we do
not hold ourselves bound to make any explanations
in person, in regard to any opinion may entertain
of their illusions.

THE LADIES.

THE LADIES.
TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH
The critics of the fair sex tell they are vain.
frivolous ignorant, coquetish, caprcious, and what
not Unjust that we are it is the fable of the
Lion and the Man. But since the ladies have be-
come authors they can take their revenge, were
they not too generous for such passion. Though
they have learnt to paint their sketches of men are
gentle and kind.
But if the ladies are what surly misanthropes call
them, who is to blame Is it not we who spoil
who corrupt, who seduce them
Is it surprising that pretty woman should be
vain, when daily praise to her face her charms,
her taste, and her wit Can we blame her vanity,
when we tell her that nothing can resist her attrac
tions,-that there is nothing barbarous which she
cannot soften-nothing elevated that she cannot
subdue when we tell her that her eyes are bright
er than day-that her form is farer than summer
more refreshing than spring-that her lips are YER
million-that her skin combines the whlteness OF
the lily with the incarnation of the rose
Do we censure fine frivolous, when
increasingly tell her, that no other study becomes
her but that Of varying her pleasures that she re-
parties,-no ideas beyond the thought of the after
moons amusement Can we blame her frvollty,
when we tell her that her hands were not made to
touch the needle, or to soil their whteness IN do
mestic employment! Can we blame her trlvolty,
when tell her, that the lock OF seriousness chases
from her cheek the dimple in which the Loves and
the Graces wanton; that reflection clouds her brow
with care and that she who thinks, sacrifices the
smile that makes beauty charm and the gaiety that
renders wit attractive
How can a pretty woman fail to be ignorant, when
the first lesson she is taught is that beauty super
sedes and dispenses with every other quality that
all she needs to know is, that she is pretty that to
be intelligent is to be pedantc; and that to be
learned than ones neighbour is to incur the reproach
of absurdity and afectation
Shall we blame her for being coquette, when the
indscrminate hatery of every man teaches her that

the water ofwhich was quite hard, but
the water he brought up fromthis great

the ddties" pro tempore. The President, with
IN the last two or three months, ofhis own mo-
ton, and without any opportunities Of SEQ
alitIoh OF Secretaries,' or OF any one of the
Secretaries, applied to The Attorney General
for his opinion, in the case of Mr.. Crawford,
not, however, to know whether the law au-
thorized him to make temporary appoint
ment 10 the Treasury, but whether it made it
obligatory upon him to do SO. The opinion
of the Attorney General rendered it necessary
to ascertain The precise state of JMr. Crauford's
health, before any step was taken and we
believe the President called upon Judge All
derson, the LIST Comptroller, for report of the
actual condition of the Secretary. A consul
tation Of his physicians was held, for the pur-
pose OF making such report. What the re-
suit oftheir consultation was we know not
for Judge Anderson has not to this moment ,as
far as we understand, made final report.
That Mr.. Monroe refused the solicitation of
the Secretaries, or any Of them; to remove
Mr.. Crawford, or 10 suspend him, is utterly
false. No such solicitations were ever made.
We believe that ifany other man than Mr..
Crawford had been so situated, the President
would long ere this have appointed some per-
son for the temporary performance Of the du-
ties Of the Department, which it is notorious
that he has been and is yet unable TO perform.
But the peculiar relation, in which Mr.. Craw-
ford has stood, not only towards him, but to-
wards the members Of his cabinet, as canda-
date for the Presidency, has prevented him
| from doing any thing, the meaning or inten-
ton of which might be perverted to serve cleo
tioneering purposes.
In addition to the foregoing charges it has
been asserted, that since the National Jour
nal became the official paper, the Secretary
of State has conducted it himself, and written
the editorial articles which have appeared in
it. To query on this subject the Editor has
replied that " so far from writing for the paper
Mt. Adams has not furnished single fact or
hint on which any article in it was founded,
with the single exception of the controversy
with the Editors of the Intelligencer, in which
case he was applied to as the person best ac-
quainted with the facts, for a statement of
them, which he readily furnished, and from
which, the articles in question were written
by the Editor
Thus one after another are their receptions
and Misrepresentation of those who are plot
ling against the people refuted and exposed.
Well would it be if, from the exposure they
would learn wisdom and refrain.
