DEATH OF MADEMoIsELLE RACHEL.

Mademoiselle Rachel, the actress, died on the
Sd instant, at her estate in Cannes, in France
Mademoiselle Rachel was of humble origin. Her
father was a hawker, of the Hebrew persuasion,
and she was born on the Oath of March, 1920, at
the Swiss village of NUM-, while her parents were
engaged on q professional tour. The family after.
ward settled for some time at Lyons, where the
eldest child Sarah, pursued the vocation of a vo-
calist at the various cafes, while Rachel the future
a%ctress) collected money from ~admiring connois-
seurs.
In 1880, Paris became the residence Of the Felix
family, and little Rachel, rising from the merely
financial department, joined with her sister as a
singer at the cafes on the Boulevards. While thus
employed, it seems she attracted the attention Of
NJ. Choron, founder Of the Royal Institution for
the study of sacred music, who at once took charge
of her fortunes. However, he soon dissolved that
she was moro suited for the dramatic than the mu-
steal profession, and he accordingly placed her
under the tuition of M. st. Aulaire. In 1886 she
was admitted as a pupil at the Conservatoire.-
And from this time forward, her history and tri-
umphs on the stage are familiar to every reader.

THE SUN.

The editor Of tho Fayetteville North Carolinian
tells the following amusing incident in his expert
enee:
We were teaching an academy" down in the
wire grass country of South Georgia soon after
we left college, and among the higher branches"
taught in that "institution" were the rudiments Of
Astronomy, to which advanced text book wo had
a class of sand hill boys and gopher
trapping girls, ranging in age from fourteen to
twenty years. A few Rotations, confined princi-
pally to corrections of mutilated RECOMMENDATIONS,
STAIRS" "heavingli buddies," 1.-THE zeath,"
~"comics," 'planics," &C.. and we made TO the
advanced class" the startling and incredible
announcement that the sun did not rise and set
daily, that the revolution Of the earth on it's axes
made night and day, &c There were a few open
countenances in that gaping, wOnder-stIicken class
about then.
Next morning we were waited on by a grave,
sage looking patron of ours, who. with some as
perity of cOuntenance, and, as We imagined,
contemptuous severity of expression, thus deliver
ed himself:
"We'ye e~mploy'G We here to larn our young
'uns, haint WEI" We assented to the PROPOSE
ton.
"Well," continued he, "what's all this riggy
marole and stronamy aud stuff about the sun not
settin' and risin', and the Seath turnin' upside
down of a night, and SIGH like in6del talk ye've
been foolin the skollards with ?" Now, thought

his b~enighted understanding. Inviting him into
the academy, we proceeded to draw a diagram on
the blackboard, for the purpose of illustration.
"Now," said we, 1.-THE sun is ninety-fve millions
of miles from the earth, and"-"Stop !" cried he,
chow do you know that? Who's been thar to
measure it? What surveyors ever drug his
chain over that rout2 'Taint So" In vain we,
assured him that scientific men had demonstrated
it, and philosophers proved it beyond a doubt AMI
that all the learned and eminent men in the
world admitted and believed it.
"They don't know nothing about it" was his
dogmatic response mot a bit more'n | do, and
they've never ben any closter to the sun than |
hev. It's agin reason, sense, and scripture to say
that the sun don't rise and set-for thar's a text,
which mabby you've, seed: if you ever red the
bible, which / KANT scarcely believe you ever did

the going down thereof--and see here, young
man, if you KANT teach the children bester'n such
fool talk and infdel argument, you mout as vel
look out for a Dooly settlement, whar Their ain
no churches, and tho folks mover reed the
bible"
We caved, wiped out the diagram with oul
left %coattail, bowe6 out our indignant patron
and the next morning the''stronamy" class WA
advanced to Peter Parley's geography, and th,
sun permitted to rise and set as usual. There

RUSSIA.

In 1862 the Gear of Russia will erect q monu-
ment commemorative of the one thousandth year
of the Russian empire. The national life of ten
centuries has an imposing venerable aspect. The
Government has always been the same, an auto
cracy, the administration has varied according to
the character and fortunes of each ruler. The de-
votion of the people to the sceptre is still, as here.
toiore, unlimited, like the imperial power-a loyali-

Of the Metropolitan 1.-THE high prelate) of Moscow
to Alexander ii, on his visit to the capital, shad-
dows out the relations between the sovereign and

Russia, for you are in her bosom and heart, the
orthodox people venerate you. Peace will facili-
tate your efforts to elevate and improve the inter

sacred person the orthodox church reveres the
quality Of her defender and protector, one of the
greatest prerogatives of the Lords anointe1." In
the chapel of the Convent of Miracles, the Empe'

SUMMER FRIENDS.
by FREDERIC e. cozzrNs.

When spring the fields in daisies dressed,
And flushed the woods with maple buds,
Ispied a little blue. birds nest
Within a cedlr's bianchy studs.
Its old gray grass inlaid with hair,
The summers sun had withered up,
And autumn's acorn still was there,
Though SHOWS had brimmed its tiny cup
What then9 / heard a pilgrim hymn:
Aid half forgave the long neglect,
VIXEN perched upon the threshold rim
A little feathered architect.
And straw by straw the walls he wrought,
And hair by hair the floor he spread
And when his blue bird wife he brought,
They slept within the nup.ial bed.
Oh. how | loved my pranksome guestl
For him loved his h~elpmate too
With jealous care l fenced their nest,
And watched them as they sang or few.
So April passed and gentle May
Went murmuriug by with leaves and bees:
And two small blue-winged chicks had they
When summer broadened on the trees.
My very solitude had made
That tiny household seem more sweet;
And often to the bank | strayed
10 watch the ~nestlings chip and eat.
But when the palsied autumn came,
And shook the boughs, and barred she WOO
/ scarce the feathered brood could blame,
Though void their puny wigwam stood
For summer friends had come like these,
Like these the summer friends had flown
When stormy winter stripped the trees,
They left the cold and me alone.

PARSON GREEN,
From the y. Y. Post Of 10th ult.


Parson Green is to have his usual donation par
ty at Hampstead, Long Island, next Thursday.
No resident of that Island needs to be told who
Parson Green is, although the New Yorker may
require such information. lie is, in short, the
most venerable clergyman of the Island, and
doubtless one of the most venerable in the Unite d
States-being ninety'niDe years old.
When u mere lad. in the l7th, year Of his age,
he was a soldier of the revolutionary army, who
engaged in many important skirmishes Of the
war, and who was one Of the hollow square Of
soldiers inside of which the Declaration of hide.
p~enience was read on the 4th, Of July, l776.
lie distinctly the men and the events
Of that period, and converses Of them with great
clearness and viyacity. lie saw, as he often says,
the birth and baptism of the Republic, and he has
lived to witness its gigantic growth, while nothing
in the stupeLdous change gives him any cause of
trouble or anxiety but the assertion, which is
sometimes made by the politicians, that the Faith
ers were in any sense in favor of slavery.
They heartily detested the thing, as he AYERS,
and nothing prevented them from putting u forci-
BILE end to i. but the universal belief that it would
soon put an end to itself. lie regards it as an in.
suit to their memory to say that they ever contem-
plated the extension of on evil SO patent and
monstrous.
When Mr.. Green left the army he entered the
ministry of the Presbyterian Church, and fol
/ sixty years he preached to the same congregation
at Setancut. Hin afterwards removed to Hemp
stead, where he now resides in the enjoyment OF
his faculties, his health, and the universal regard
of his neighbors and friends. Psrson Green, W,
believe, never enjoyed a salary of more than
house and three hundred dollars a year, but OF
that he managed to live with comfort, and rear
large family to responsibility and competence
On New Years day, in company with four young
s,ers, as they seem to him, (the united ages of tn
. FIVE amounting to over four hundred years, h
made the customary calls of the season upon tn
ladies of his acquaintance.
