dozen children, amid roars of
laughter-a very undignifed posi-.
tion, certainly, for one of the best
Greek scholars in Europe, for a
landscape painter, unriyaled any,
where, and the author of half a
dozen learned quartos of travels in
Albania, Illyria, Calabria and other
interesting countries. But what a
delight he is personally to the iu-
niority of England wherever he is
known! A few years ago he was
obliged to build a cottage in Ra.
VIENNA, in Italy, and live there a
portion Of the year in order to get
time for painting and study for
when he is in London the little
people, whom he passionately loves
and cannot live without, run after
him, as they did after the Pied
Piper Of Hamelin, to that extent he
has no leisure for his profession.
When it is known that the delight.
ful old fellow is ON his way back to
England for the holidays, many Of
the castles and other great resi-
dences are on the alert with invita-
tons to secure him for as much
time as he can give them. Genera
tions of children have clustered
about him in different Christmas
seasons. He dedicates his first
book "Book of Nonsense" "To
the great grandchildren, grand
nephews and grand-nieces of the
Earl of Derby, the greater part of
the book having been originally
composed for their parents" Prime
fayorite as he is among the Argyles
and the Devonshires, he has an i'm
mense clientele among the poor
and oyerworked peasants of various
countries. Having been a traveller
SO many years, and so conYersant
with the languages of the cont.
nent, he is as much at home with
his fun and with his wide goggles
in the mountain passes of Switzer-
land and Spain as he is in the great
houses of England. He promised
not long ago that he would come to
America before he got too old to see
our country. One of his sayings at
least deserves Immortality: "The
world will never grow old, so long
as it has little children and flowers

The Choctnws.

From the Fort Smith papers we
learn that a reign of terror exists
in the Choctaw Nation. The Her
aid thinks that much if not all of
this trouble has its origin in the
arbitrary action of Governor Cole,
who is the representative of the full
blood, non-progressive element.
In speaking of these troubles, the
Independent says:
"There appears to be great excite
ment in the Ohoolaw Nation. The
Light Horse are riding over all
parts of the Nation, arreSting half
breeds and white men, and all that
are living near the line are coming
over into the State for protection.
There are several men, who are
leading men in the Nation, in
town, having escaped from the
Light Horse. We have conversed
with some Of them and they do not
know what charges are against
them. All this excitement is pro-
duced by the arbitrary action of
Coleman Cole, Governor of the
Nation. He is a full-blooded In
dian, and is acting without law. 1t

When a prominent English
statesman, some years ago, COM
pletely disabled by the cares and
fatigues of his great office, con-
suited Sir Henry Holland, the
court physician, as to what course
he should adopt to regain his
health and yigor, Sir Henry, with
profound wisdom, told the Chan.
cellor to 60 down to Brighton for
a month and take only one book
with him. "Shall it be Homer"
asked the scholar and statesman of
the physician. "By no MEANS"
said the doctor. "The volume |
recommend is Edward Lear's Book
of Nonsense, one Of the healthiest
works ever written in the king
dom" Sand who is Edward
Lear?" inquired the man of state
affairs. ''Sir," said the physician,
81 am amazed at your question.
Edward Lear, sir, is the biogra-
pher of that globular man Of
Hust, Of that uneasy old man of
the West of that courageous
young lady of Norway, of that
morbid old man of Yesuvius, and
others OF like distinction" The
statesman retired with his one
book to the sea coast, and came
back to Downing street at the end
of his vacation a wiser and health
ier man it is said, Edward Lear is
a great, broad -shouldered, healthy
Englishman, who spends a large
portion Of his valuable time in
making children happy. He is

THE LEE MONUMENT.
Description of the Model Made by
Brooklyn Sculptor,

Desc rfpiiOn of the Model Made by
a Brooklyn sculptor,
Washington DELI Gazotte.l
At his studio, No. 204 Montague
street, D. B. Sheahan, the sculptor,
has nearly completed his model of
the proposed equestrian statue of
General Lee, to be erected at Rich
mond, Va. A number of Ameri-
can and European sculptors were
invited by the committee having in
charge the erection of the proposed
statue, to compete and have their
models in Richmond by the 1st of
September next, when a critical ex-
animation of all the models is to be
made by a committee of experts,
and the contract awarded to the
best model. Mr.. Sheahan is the
author Of the "Custer Group" of
the well-known " Hamlet" and sew
eral other successful and popular
works Of the sculptor's art. The
work represents General Lee bare
headed, but otherwise in full uni
form, seated Oh a full-blooded stall
lion, sword in hand, with body and
head turned to the right. Bearded,
grim and stern, every nerve and
faculty awake, he looks intently into
a distant part of the field, all alive,
to the scene where the crisis of the
battle evidently RACES. His figure
is erect and finely modelled, every
limb being in proportion. In the
progress of his work Mr.. Sheahan
has received constant suggestions
from General Roger A. Pryor of
what he knew of General Lee in
his lifetime, aud the general says
that not only is General Lee cor
rectly portrayed in the work, but
that the horse, also, probably the
greatest feature in equestrian statu-
ary is correct likeness of the horse
Lee rode. The horse and rider arc
the very personification of spirited
animation. The entire spirit and
pose of the group is intensely mar
tial without exhibiting anything
tawdry or straining for effect. The
work is well calculated to suit the
martial yet refined tone and taste
of the Southern people, and Mr..
Sheahan may well expect success in
the approaching competition.

FEMALE EDUCATION.
Some of the Faults of the Fren,
EyafaFra

Speaking Of female education in
France, the Westminster Review
says:
In France, where public opinion
is so much more severe with unmar-
ried women than with wives, we can
not but suspect that the purity of
girls is valued rather from the sens
uous point of view than as pledge
of future chastity. The more de-
bauched the men, the more they
will be influenced by this sensuous
attraction; and, moreover, the more
their own licentious life has I'M
pressed them with the frailty of
woman's virtue, the more severely
will they guard their daughters. At
any rate it will be conceded to us
that a species Of purity which can
only be secured by claustration
does not command much respect.
French writers in general seem to
think this claustration warranted
by the inhammable temperament
OF their race, by their proximity to
the South, by their hot blood and
impetuous desires. George Sand,
for instance, in her novels, usually
implies that a man who spends ten
minutes alone with the woman
he loves without forgetting his
good manners, deserves considera-
able credit for his self-possession.
Michelet is of opinion that after
the age of four or five the two
sexes ought to be kept carefully
apart. Tame relates that in certain
schools it has been found necessary
to exclude all male professors, even
such as are old and ugly. Scraps
If letters addressed to these prosaic,
unsuspecting "Romeosp Of fifty had
been discovered in the desks of the
young ladies. A former pupil of
the great Legion Of Honor school
at st. Denis, into which no man is
allowed to enter, tells us that on
one occasion the authorities were
very greatly scandalized by the dis
covery that the word " Amour"
had been scribbled all over its walls.
For our part, we think that the
mental and physical state indicated
by these or similar occurrences
would be remedied rather than ag-
gra1ated by enfranchisement. The
physical appetites of the French
are not by any means ferocious;
their sensuality lies chiefly in their
Imagination; now nothing stimu-
lates the Imagination so much as
mystery and restraint. Fresh air
and exercise provided for the body,
together with interest provided for
the mind through a more rational
course of study, and especially
through the prospects opened by
women of utilizing their studies in
subsequent professional pursuits,
would prove far better checks than
convent walls. The very fact al
legged in defense of the French
mode Of education, namely, the
fact that the two sexes cannot be
allowed to mingle for an instant
without danger, is in itself a suffi.
cient condemnation of that mode.

The London World extracts from
the German Tagblatt a very curious
aneedote of Pauline Lucca and the
tenor Sonntheiler, who, in 1860,
when she was neither known nor
rich, lent her a diamond of great
value, which she wore when she
performed in "Semiramide," but
forgot to return it to him. Sonn-
theiler was then rich, and thought
but little Of the jewel. He, how
ever, afterward asked Lucca to re-
store the gem, and in reply was in
formed by the diva that she had
been robbed of it. At length Sonn-
theiler fell into such difficulties
that he was obliged to take legal
proceedings against the fair bor-
rover, who, as she could not prove
the robbery alleged in her letters,
was condemned two or three weeks
ago to pay heavy damages to Sonn-
theiler.
