THE GREcIAN BEND That monstrous
freak of fashion absurdly called the "Grecian
bend" is said to have been suggested BY the
attitude of the Venus Of Milo the choicest art
treasure Of the Louvre, one Of the few speci-
mems remaining Of the best period Of Greek
sculptures statue, notwithstanding its mutt.
lated condition, Of incompatible grace and
beauty, and the despair OF modern artists. It
seems impossible that deformity 20 grotesque
as the fashion referred to could have had such
an origin; but 50, 1t is said. II is a fact that
the statue represented the goddess a. inclining
slightly forward, and this inclination, which
was thought to be an essential element Of the
grace OF the figure and attitude. was made the
excuse for the hideous travesty with which the
subservient votaries of fashion have made us
familiar. Il has just been discovered that the
..::Grecian bend Of fashion has not even the
merit of caricature Of the clatsic model
that it is q misnomer and slander upon the
famous statue, which 10 its original form gave
no pretext for such distortion.
During the siege Of Paris the Venus was
hidden in vault to preserve it from the casu.
alties of war. It had q narrow escape from
the flames, but the dampnesa of the situation
saved it from peril. When the danger was
over it was found to have suffered no damage,
except that the cement which joined the body
where it had once been broken, had been sof-
tened and allowed it to fall apart,
showing that the separated surfaces had not
been accurately fitted together, but the upper
part had been tilted forward by inserting
wedges, which were concealed by tho cement.
The famous bend was not given by the origi-
,al ortist, whose idea Of divine beauty embod.
ed in this statue has been the admiration Of
he world for ages. but was the work Of .
comparatively modern and unknown restorer.
whose sacrilegious oct has had consequences
hat they doubtless never contemplated

THE French provincial papers report
the drowning Of an English lady, de-
seribed as a relsgiease Protestante, near
Mont St. Michel. Accompanied by a
young lady, she started on foot, and
without guide, for Tombelaine, the
rock about two miles distant from the
mount. The tide was due in an hour,
and they had hardly reached the rock
when it began to rise. The elder lady,
aged IS, considering herself good
swimmer, left her companion to get a
boat sent to her rescue. Some inhabi-
tants Of the isle, seeing her surrounded
By the waves, raised an alarm, and two
fishermen went to her assistance, but be-
fore they could reach her she sank. Her
companion was rescued.

MIR. Nelson, late United States Minister to
Mexico, expresses the belief that the recent
outrage at Nueces in Texas, was perpetrated
by desperadoes or INSCRIPTIONS persons living
10 Texas who are interested 10 provoking hostl-
lities between Mexico and the United States
Mr. Nelson says there exists in that portion OF
Texas, lying west OF the Nueoes river, an organ-
cation whose avowed object is to create a war
between the two countries in order that they
may be afforded unlimited opportunity to pur'
sue their trade of robbery, and that there Is
another class of men who create disturbance
for the purpose of manufacturing claims against
the Mexican Government. Mr.. Nelson be-
lieves that while some depredatioDs are COM

persons residing 10 Texas.

SATURDAY, APRIL 8.

Mr. James &. Blaine delivered, last nlgh''
before a Republican meeting 10 New Haven,
campaien speech which he had prepared with
care and deliberaton. He does not want, he
said, the Republ can party to surrender or dis
band its organization before the legitimate ends
of the great civil war have been fully attained
He said he had no confidence 10 the Efforts or
the intentions of the Democratic party to pa
oify and harmonic the South on the basis OF
submis sion to law and order; he was no alarm
ist, aud had no desire to be sensational, but he
veutured to say that it was safer thing Tor the
people not to put the Democracy 10 the way OF
obtaining the coutrol of the Government. he
believed that the aim Of the Democratic party
now is to consolidate the South, and secure as
much Northern support as possible, aud 1t was
most startling fact that with the votes OF
the former slave States they need but frac-
ton Of the Northern vote to give them the
Government. He believed the policy OF the
Democrats would be one Of reaction, which he
thought would lead to fresh troubles. Blame
is fishing for the Republican nomination for
President, 10 opposition to Grant, and 10 their
hostility to the South are both "tarred Wild
the same stick. ~
