A WONDERFUL FLowER--A flower has
been recently described by an eyewitness a,
Constantinople, which is so great rarity that
one is apt to treat it as fable and wait for the
confirmation of ones own eyesight. 1t belongs
to the narcissus kind Of bulbs, and bears the
bontanical name of ophyrs mouche. There
were three naked flowers on the stalk banging
on one side; the underneath one was fading,
while the TWO others were in all their beauty.
Iney represented perfect humming bird. The
breast Of bright emerald green is a complete
copy of this bird, and the throat, head, beak
and eyes are most perfect imitation. The
hinder part of the body and the two outstretch-
wings are bright rose color one might almost
say flesh colored On the abdomen rests the
whole propagation apparatus, of deep dark
brown tlns, in the form Of a two-wingel gad-hy.

compelled constant practice with the gun, and BY
its effective use they made US nation. Existence
In those days depended upon steady nerve accuracy
OF aim and qulckness OF trigger. But theirs was q
sterner school than ours. Since we can no longer

Mr.. Pages Third Lecture on Art.

MIR. Pages Third Lecture on Art.
Last night MIR. Page delivered the third OF his
series or lectures ON art to numerous and
select audience. The lecture WAS principally
taken up with some dscursive remarks upon
Raphael AMI his school Illustrated by the aid
OF the magic lantern "Cnrist's Charge to Peter"
..The Miraculous Draught," "Paul Preaching In
Athens, and a number OF other compositions OF
the great master were effectively presented, while
the lecturer proceeded to point out the various
beauties OF linear compositions In which he de-
clarcd that Raphael stands at the head OF all
artists Even greece must yield to him
the palm for the knowledge how to az.
range masses and so place figures
that there shall be no over crowding, bus
that each one shall seem to have sufficient space.
This quanty was owing MS close attention to per-
spective anu tine careful manner IN which he pre-.
pared and mapped out his work. In the wonderful
diversity OF feature, anu, when necessary, the
preservation or resemblance with difference, Raphael
displays the most marked power oi observation
But though powerful and varied, there Is always
picture with acuon, deprlvng II OIL all contrast, a.
some OF the mOderns think they are called upon TO
do. But he sometimes repeats his lines, as Shak-
speare does with Intention We need never 10
tention to his work. All the good ideas
are likely to he his own. The lecturer
alluded 10 some modern criticism on "rhe Miracu-
lous Draught" which appeared TO be pretty well
ment with the critlcs-he usually does-and said
that he did not know any modern artist who could
hange the work for the better. The audience lis
ened 10 the delivery with the greatest attention.
