thing of the brave manner in which she meets
life and the honest work she is doing. She is
about to challenge criticism for another work,
and will shortly place on exhibition statue she
calls "Sappho." 1t is designed to represent in
marble, the thought contained in the poets own
words
"Thou must die and no memory of thee will re-
main."
Miss Ream's Sappho it, says the Roman Art
Journal, a woman nobly formed, draped in a
Greek robe, falling in harmonious and graceful
folds about her limbs, which are vailed rather
than concealed. The right hand holds the style,
while the left holds the open papyrus on which
she is supposed TO have written the foregoing
quotation. The journal from which Iquote this
description, declares that the artist has nobly
worked out the said thought Of the poet,

tion at the studio she is about to open IN New
York. One of the figures represents the west,
and is an enlarged copy Of one from an allegori'
cal group which she modelled here some twelve
months ago. It has been put into marble by
the direction of seine friends of Gen. Schenck
to whom it will be presented. Miss Ream has
also figure of Miriam singing her psalm Of
praise for the lsraeltes successful passage Of the
Red Sea- and a little statuette representing the
Roman carnival - young girl in joyous
abandon throwing flowers.
Whatever differences of opinion exist as to
the artistic value of Miss Ream's work, there
certainly can be none as to the ambition pos
sessed by her, and the energetic industry with
which she strives to excel In her studio here
she has on the stand just finished, a remark
ably good bust of Admiral Farragut, which is
pronounced to be a fine likeness-a fact OF which
am not a competent judge. Certainly,
however, it is a work full of power
individuality and character. The artist cannot
be charged as in the case of her Lincoln, with
having worked with cast of the living face, as
she never saw Farragut but twice, and in the eX-
cution of the bust has mainly worked from
photographs. Miss Ream has also commenced
a bust of Gen. Schenck, and has just sent to be
cast fine medallion of Mrs. Paulina Wright DAVIS

affair, crowds of people naturally began to flock
to witness it. The Roman Catholic clergy OF the
nelghborhood at once, we are assured called in
able physicians. One Of these, DIR. Lcfebore,
has given great attention TO the case, and has
printed monograph OF it. This gentleman
has been for two years at the head of the medi-
cal staff of two lunatic asylums, and is likewise
a professor in Louvain university. His report
is examined at length by DR.. Day, and the latter
has received a note from DR.. Letebore, stating
that, as lately as the middle of January, the
condition OF Louise Lateau remained unchanged.
His experiments have been numerous and inter
esting. He scrutinized the places from which
the blood eXuded with microscope, and found
that on those places the epidermis is very thin,
so that the true skin can be seen through it.
When the bleeding is going to begin, little
bladder appears on the spots, filled with trans
parent reddish fluid. A rent presently takes
place in the cutcle, the Serious fluid escapes, and
the blood begins to ooZe from the surface OF the
exposed pdpilo within. The quantity of blood
often amounts to nearly quart. Pending its
flow, the doctor repeatedly tiekled Louise's nose
with feather made her smell ammonia,
pricked her with needle, and passed Il strong
electromagnetic current along her arm. All
this the girl invariably bore without the least
sign of uneasiness or even of feeling. DIR. Lete-
bore carefully wrapped her hands in strong, we'll
stitched leather gloves, drew them tightly at the
wrists, sealed the strings, and then watched the
result. This was, simply, that the gloves, when
taken off, were filled with blood. In brief, this
physician and others feel totally unable, how
ever awkward may be any different assump-
ton, to declare that the girl Is consciously an
imposter.
What, then, is the alternative2 The doctors
of the Roman church, of course, have no diff
Guilty in answering this question. The case Of
Louise Lateau, in their view, is purely miracu-
lous. 1t is a fresh instance of stigmoto, to add
to the seventy that have gone before, the verit-
able history of which lives in the annals of
Rome. Those who cannot accept this facile n.y.
pothesis, and who are not constrained TO believe
that the reports of the doctors are, in every
sense, absolutely trustworthy-so that no curl
oas unforeseen calculation shall be hit upon, as
in so many apparently insoluable pathological
problems before-will, no doubt, adopt the theory
that the case OF Louise Lateau presents some
novel or hitherto unanaiyzed symptoms of hys-
terra, the explanation of which will not long be
withheld from the world when experts apply
themselves to the mystery who are best qualified
to track and unfold il,

The BLEEDING Girl of HaiuauIf.

A new wonder has turned up in Belgium.
But little while ago we recorded the marvel
GUS exploits of fasting girl in Wales. Still
later, national pride was gratiied by the advent
of wondrous prophecies in Louisville. The
young lady whose fame now resounds from
Hainault, however, is more astounding person
than either. In fact, no more ineXplicabe case
than this of Louise Lateau's has probably ever
been known. Her peculiar accomplishment is
not to fast or to prophesy, but TO bleed This
she does in the most proluse and unprovoked
manner, and every effort to find out how she
does it has hitherto failed. The investigation
has not been confined to the ignorant or super
stitious. 1t is asserted that the ablest Flemish
physicians have been baffied in their attempts to
discover the cause OF the young woman's san.
