women living. She is called 1.-THE second
Rachel" but she Is not much like the great
Jewess, except in her exquisite voice and the
serpentine grace of movements. She has less
fire and force, and more heart; she has fewer
jewels and more friends; she has not turned her
tears into diamonds or her blood into rubies.
She is never wei. is fearfully thin and pale
keeps habltually cough ana a doctor, has now
and then hemorrhage, yet works always at
her art and at painting and sculpture, never
losing moment, though fltngtng some away in
FAD one, her life is sad one, yet she seems to
have fierce joy in toll which would dismay
many clever woman, healthy, happy and be-
loved. As an actress she never aStOniSheS She
never disappoints me; her power is so real, her
method SO simple, yet so subtle, her conception
so stepped in thought and feeling, and her art
subordinate. 1t is art without touch OF arti-
fice-it is not the gliding Of tradition. not the
electro-piating OF school, but pure metal
wrought into the body OF her genius.

lectures delivered to the Psychometric Society
during the last summer, by Dr. Buchanan, a
well-known spiritualist. The new church win
maintain, it is said, what may be termed
is to be formulated. It's great object will be to
carry out the altruistic idea, unmixed with any
doctrine; and the motto chosen is; Little
cminren love one another" Ii is thought large
numbers Of persons unsettled in their own
churches will gladly welcome this latest de-
vveloement OF free thought, and the opportunity
1t affords for union. In January the church
will spring into existence, and the opening SER

The vacant space in the Scow, between the deck
and the bottom, Is filled with water by means of

from her by means OF a small machine provided
for the purpose, and the scows are then towed
up to the city again. The change from the salt
