Il French EncEuHtrcss.

Hardly any woman in France mas had
so marked a personal influence, has so
permeated her time, as Julie Recamier
and that without taking any active part
in the stirring events of the close of the
eighteenth century. She was essentially
and intensely womanly, the incarnation
OF gentleness, amiability and tact. Her
friendships are renowned-shc was her
self an ideal friend-and the charm of her
presence was unbounded, almost unpre-
cedented. Beautiful of person, perfect
in manners, fascinating by inheritence,
living in an era of gallantry, which means
so much, often SO i'll, in France, she
gracefully avoided the countless perils
surrounding her, and went to the grave
without the shadow Of spot upon her
name. Grievously misunderstood at
times, though mainly by foreigners who
could not believe what traversed their
theories, her behavior finally nullited
scandal and shamed her detractors to
silence
During more than seventy years she
seems never once to have crossed the
delicate boundary between love. as gem
orally apprehendcd, and genuine friend
ship. Kind and complaisant to all, she
knew exactly when she had yielded what
was due to the fullest courtesy, and there
she serenely paused. She scarcely made
an enemy amongst her own sex--for she
never sighted ,nem, was never guilty Of
arrogation-- and rarely offended the vain
est and most sensitive man, because she
refused to kindle expectations she would
not crafty. That a woman so lovely and
bewitching should have escaped shoals Of
feminine foes manifests the completeness
OF her tact, the excellence Of her intuition
Many called her cold-a prudent woman
is apt to be so regarded but she was not !;
but she was extremely tender, and tender
ness is passion at rest. Everybody ad-
mired her, and was drawn to her though
not beyond the line that is the boundary

A dealer in house furnishing materials
on the West Side has adopted an ingeni-
Gus and effective method of stimulating
his sales. Let it be supposed that a lady
enters, looks at some carpets, likes them,
but finds the price excessive, and SO is
about to depart. The proprietor makes
a signal and there enters a magnifcently
atured woman who asks to see some car
pets. The proprietor ebsequiously shows
her the carpet which the first woman had
seen, and she is charmed with it (the first
woman has stayed as matter of
course to see how the second wom-
ans overskirt is trimmed, apd whether

Ho,c a Leper Discovered His AH;ction

Recent Honolulu papers announce the
death of w. 2. Ragsdall, governor Of the
Leper settlement, on the island of Molo-
kai. Ragsdale was native of Hawaii,
born Of a native mother and American
father A lawyer by profession, he was
held in high esteem by the people and
government. His discovery Of his leprosy
is thus described: One night he was
studying up law case in which he was
deeply interested, when the chimney of
his lamp fell Oh the table. Although the
chimney was hot as fire, "Bill," in his
excitement, picked it up, and set it in its
place, without experiencing the least in
convenience, such as would naturally re-
suit to really sound person handling a
red-hot lamp chimney. Rejecting for a
moment, he looked at his hand, but could
not discover the least sign that he had
been burned. He then took off and put
on the lamp chimney repeatedly, and with
the same result. This experience con-
vinced him that he was among the affiict-
ed, and he lost no time in communicating
with the authorities.
An examination was made, and medi-
cal authority declared that he was atflict-
ed with leprosy The police did not ar
rest him, however, owing to his exalted
position, as was common with those sus-
pected of being lepers, so he voluntarily
delivered himself up as victim of the
terrible disease. He was then sent to
Molokai and installed as Governor Of the
leper settlement, which position he held
for number of years up to the time of
his death, last month. Soon after his
isolation from the world and his friends,
the disease made itself more apparent,
and there were none so incredulous as to
believe that he was not forever afflicted
with the leprosy. During his administra-
ton of affairs he was as successful as he
was popular. There were and are about
eight hundred lepers in the settlement,
but by his tact and kindheartedness,

ing out of window, until eleven; then she
retires to arrange her toilet for the even

from the wash, or perform some other
household duty-duties not to be omitted,
but which the economical woman Zone

have completed before the day began;
then she dresses for afternoon calls, and

table. Here nearly another hour fades
away before she begins her afternoon

cheerful chatting Of the 'shaugAraun,
Nilsson, Kellogg-of every thing in short,
which concerns the shows of life, but
careful as one walking over pitfalls to
avoid every subject of vital interest either
to herself or others.
Then, the visits or drive ended, she hur-
ries home in season to dress for dinner,
and go somewhere afterward, as if to ex-
haust to the last drop her own vital
strength and the hours of the day. This

We are called upon this week to
chronicle one OF the most horrible ac-
cidents that ever occurred in anv com
munity: The accident happened about
two miles from Shamrock, and little
Jimmie Robinson was the sufferer. The
facts, as we obtained them. are about as
follows: Mr.. Robinson was some dis
tance from the house clearing, and Mrs.
Robinson had gone to a nejghbor's (Mrs.
Fritz, some 300 yards distant, leaving
Jimmie and Guy, aged respectively four
and two years, at home. She had been
gone only a short time, when she and
Mrs. Fritz heard child making a
noise at the door, and Mrs Fritz, think
ing, perhaps, it was her child wanting to
get in, opened the door and there stood
Jimmie with the last vcstage of clothing
burned from his body, except his boots
and little flannel collar; and his body
down to his feet burned almost into
perfect crisp. Mrs. Fritz picked him up
and ran into the house, and began bath
ing him with castor oil. The telling Of
his mother at this time no one but motif
ers could tell. Yet her frcnzicd cries
never seemed for a moment to dagnt
him or affect in the least his presence of
mind
He told them to go after his little broth
er; that be had left him at the fence;
couldn't help him over, and about how
the accident happened. He said Guy
was playing in the fire with a stick and
set him afire; when his cloths began to
blaze he ran to the water bucket to
put it out, but the bucket was empty, and
he then began to scream. Getting no re-
ply from anyone, he said he rar into the
yard and began to swear, thinking his
mother would come to correct him for
swearing, as she had often done, but no
one answered him, and he then started to
where bis mother was, and after going
some distance he thought of having left
his little brother shutup in the house.
He went back after him, saying he might
be burned up also. They then started to
gether, and in crossing the branch he
said he thought OF lying down in the wa
ter to put the fire out, but was afraid be
might die. And it was afterward found
that he had gone through two gates and

A HITHERTO UNPUBLISHED POEM BY FELICIA
HEMANS.
Have you heard, have you heard Of that sun
bright cline,
Unstained by sorrow, unhurt by time
Where age hath ne power DER the fadeless
frame,
Where the eye is fire and the heart is flame
Have you heard of that sun bright cline ?
There are rivers of waters gushin there,
Midst blossomed beauty strangely fair,
And thousand wings are lowering DER
The dazzling wing and the golden shore
That's found in the sun-bright cline.
There are myriads Of forms .arrayed in
Beings of beauty clothed in light
That dwell in their own immortal bowers
Mid the fadeless hue of the countless flowers
That spring in that sun-b-ight cline.
Then far away in that sun-bright cline
Unstained by sorrow, unhurt by time,
Where amid all things fair, is given
The home Of the just, and its name is Heaven
The name OF that SUM- bright cline.
