Women in Art.

Harriet Hosmer, of WateTtOwn, Mass,
is the most widely known among the
women sculptOrs at Rome. An ideal
head called "Hesper,n daguereotypes of
which were taken to Gibson, the Eng
lish sculptor at Rome, obtained that
artists consent for the lady to become
his pupil. Among her art-studies We're
copies of the "Venus of. AlilO,n the
"Cupid of Praxiteles," and the ''Tasso'
of the British Museum. Her first origi-
nal attempt was head of ''Daphne,"
then one of "AIedusa." Two replicasto to
the 'Daphne" were subsequently or
dered. Her next design was the shep-
herd wife whom Paris deserted for
Helen. In 1856 she executed a statue of
"Puck,n three copies of which are in
noble collections in England. The fol-
lowing year she made statue of
TBeatrice Cenci Asleep in her Cell"
and the design of a monument erected
in one of the churches in memory of
beautiful daughter of Madame FalcOnet,
an English Catholic lady resident of
Rome. sZenObia,n a colossal work,
architectural in style, with massive and
highly finished drapery, was sent to the
United States for exhibition, and re-
ceived the praise of art connOisseurs. In
the Paris Exposition of 1867, she eXhib-
tied the sleeping Faun,p and the Leg
islature of Missouri gave her commits
sion to execute a statue OF Thomas ii.
Benton.
Miss Emma Stebbins, of New York,
like Miss Hosmer, has long been resi-
dent at Rome, devoted to the study of
the plastic art. She executed statue of
Columbus, which has found many ad-
mirers. One of the most pleasing and
original specimens of her skill is a
figure of "Joseph,n represented in boy
hood. a statuesque adOrnment Tor
fountain commissioned for the Central
Park is a representation of the "4ngel
of the Waters''-the miracle beside the
pool of Bethesda.
Miss Foley, of Vermont, has achieved
an enviable reputation by success in re-
lIieyos. Among her celebrated works is
bas relief of LOngfellow, a head OF
/ William Cullen Bryant, and one of
[ Charles Sumner.
/ Edmonia Lewis, a dusky maiden of
negro and Indian parentage, while IN
her teens abandoned herself to sculp-
ture. During the Union war she eXhib-
tied a bust of Colonel Shaw, the fair
haired hero and martyr to the caHse of
her race, at the Soldiers Relief Fair in
in Boston, Since then she has modelled
the "FreedwOman on First Hearing of

among the Roman studios during her

The Mystic Temple.

Far down in the shadowy valley,
Where the spirits and phantOm-shadesl loom
Stands weired, fantastical temple,
In the mystical midnight and gloom.
It sends forth q purple-lilIe lusire,
Poured out from lis porpoyry halls
Abroad through the blue-litten windows
Set in its adamant walls.
And the legend OF musical zephyrs
That tlirong through lis wide-open door,
Go out with ineese and starlight
Through Life Of Eternity's shore.
IT'S said by people who've witnessed
It's sOn candclabrian light,
There's sanctded spirit that frequents
This labyrinth temple at night.
He comes in the silence OF midnight,
When the mooon has begun its decline,
And lights with the essence OF noontide
The crcsset that hangs DER the shrine.
There's none OF It's radiance that slumbers
In the midst of the daperies' fold;
Il goes upward, straight through the sky-Iighi
All tinted with purple and gold.
The voice ofhis footsteps awakens,
Far up in the vibrating dome,
Sweet echoes that never cease sounding
This side Of their Heavenly home.
when the spirit has finished his mission
And passed from the sill ofthe door,
A demon comes up from the eloisters,
And quenches the light evernore.
The walls OF the temple may crumble,
And the light on the turrets may die
But lamp on the altar is cleaning,
That's again to be lighted on high.

Cure for Cancer.

A correspondent from Indiana, re-
Gently wrote to us to inquire respecting
the cure of a cancer by Mr.. Mason,
which was published some years since
in some of the city papers. The Spring
field Republic has been furnished by
subscriber with the following extract
from the Milwaukee Free Democrat,
which, we presume, will furnish the
desired infOrmation:
'tOur attention has been recently
called to a cure for cancers, which is of
so much Importance that we wish to
make it known as widely as possible.
Some eight months ago Mr.. 7. B. Mason
who keeps a music store on Wisconsin
street, and is n brother of the we'll
known Lowell Mason-ascertained that
he had a cancer on his face the size of a
pea. 1t was cut out by DIR. WolcOtt, and
the wound partially healed. Subse-
quently it grew again, and while he was
in Cincinnati on business, it attained
the size of hickory nut. He has re-
mained there since Christmas under
treatment, and has come back perfectly
cured. The process is this:
"A piece of sucking plaster was put
over tbe cancer, with a circular piece
cut out of the center little larger than
the cancer, and small circular rim of
healthy skin next to it was exposed.
Then a plaster made of chloride of zine.
blood root and wheat flour was spread on
a piece of muslin of the size of this cir
cular opening and applied to the cancer
for twenty-fOur hours. On removing it
the cancer will be found to be burnt
into, and appear of the color of an old
shoe sole, and the circular rim outside
of it will appear white and parbOiled, as
if scaled by hot steam. The wound is
now dressed, and the outside rim soon
separates and the cancer comes out
hard lump, and the place heals up.
''The plaster kills the cancer so that
| it sloughs out like dead flesh, and never
grows again. This remedy was discov-
cred by DIR. Fell, of London, and has
/ been used by him for six or eight years,
with unfailing success, and not q case
has been known of the reappearenee OF
/ the cancer where this remedy has been
applied. 1t has the sanction OF the most
| eminent physicians and surgeons of
/ London, bat has not till recently been
used in this country, and many of the
I faculty, with their proverbial Opposition
to innovations, look upon it with dis
trust. We saw Mr.. Mason at church
yesterday, and have since eOnversed
with him, and took particular notice of
the cicatriZed wound, and can only saw
if the cure is permanent-and, from the
evidence of six or eight years experience
/ in other cases, we have no doubt it is
the remedy ought to be universally
known. We have referred to this case
because Mr.. Mason is well known both
here and in the east. The experiment
excited much interest in Cincinnati, and
we call the attention of the faculty in
this State to the remedy. If it is what
is claimed for it, this terrible disease :
shOrn of its terrOrs. The application -
painful, but the pain is of eOmpaTae5,i,vesIH, sl,,
brief duration, which any one so allllc.es; we;
would eheerfully endure.-Cti'c'''''''''

WHERE THE COMPOUNDED MOTH-
Err" wAs.-A gentleman who came up
the Hudson, tells this story: 81 no
ticed,n he said, "a serious looking man,
who looked rs if he might have been a
clerk or book-keeper. The man seemed
to be caring for crying baby, and was
doing everything he could TO still its
sobs. AS the child became restless in
the berth, the gentleman took it in his
arms and carried it to and fro in the
cabin. The sObs of the child irritated n
rich man, who was trying to read, until
he blurted out loud enough for the
father to hear
i'What does he want to disturb the
whole cabin with that id baby for ?''
The man only nestled the baby more
quietly in his arms, without saying u
word. Then the baby sObbed again:
'fWhere is the confounded mother,
that she don't stop its noise@" continued
the prOfane grumbler.
At this the father came up to the man,
and said:
81 am sorry we disturb you, sir, but
my dear baby's mother is in her coffin
down in the baggage room. Pm taking
her back to Albany, where we used to
live"
The hard-hearted man buried his face
in shame, but in a moment, wilted by
the terrible rebuke, he was by the side
of the grief-stricken father. They were
both tending the baby.

GENEVA, June 25.-It is authorita
lively stated that the proposition OF the
council for the English Government fol-
an adjournment of the court of arbitra'
ton for a period of eight months is de-
cidedly opposed by a majority of the
members of the court, who have ex'
pressed desire for the continuance Of
the session until some definite conclu'
sion of the claims Of the American
Government are arrived at. The latest
dispatches received here from Washing
ton by Bancroft Davis, counsel for the
United States, it is said, are of such an
unfavorable character as to imperil arbl-
tration. The exact tenor of the dis
patches has not been made public, but
they are believed to have reference to
the claims for indirect damages, which,
by the decision of the court, have been
excluded from arbitration.
LONDON, June 25.-Private dispatches
received here by the Government from
Geneva state that the decision Of the
court arbitration will very probably
prove unfavorable to the English Gov
ernment.
PARIS, June 26.-The Franco-German
evacuation negotiations is concluded.

1t was over the backs OF these Know
