the conditions TO the birth of high art, still here
remain in a state of comparative infancy. And 80
little are the general public alive to the eNgonccs,
that achievements al but childish are greeted
with astOnishmenJ aud gratitude. We remember
an occasion when our attention was triumphantly
directed to certain foot and ankle: the foot was
emlnently artistic, but unfortunately IL was moth

Perugno and Raphael, by sundry repettlons, had
made trite three hundred years ago. As ior dra-

THE LOST BOURBON.

GeOrge william curtis IN Harpcr
Ii is tventy-ninc years ago that in the editorial
sanctum of the old Putnam IN Parkplace, the ques-
ton was asked, Have we n Bourbon among us !.
The paper which bore the title was sent to Mr..
Putnam by the Rev Dr. Hawks, who was ut that
time a literary and historical authority in the city,
~ well as an eloquent preacher. He stated that
entire confidence could lie rcposed ia the Rev. Mir.

mower The good doctor did not undertake to eX-
press an opinion upon the claim OF Mr.. Williams,
but he said that he could speak with certainty to
the fact that he was not an Indian, ami that he
was not equal to the invention of complicated evl.
dence to support fabricated story.
The editors of the new magazine saw at once the
advantage to their enterprise of unique article,
and it was published III the second number Public
attention was soon aroused, and for a long time
there was u brisk controversy over the probability
of the Williams claim. The strongest argument Tor
it vas the appearance OF the claimant. Mr.. Will
Jams came one morning to Mr.. Putnams office and
the editors descended to see him. They beheld Il

comp exon, and Of the lift of head and heavily
moulded face that marked the Bourbons There
was something singular and distinctive i'll his APP
pearance due partly TO the dark, un-American bue.
and partly doubtless TO the Imagination stimulated
by the suggestion that he was the Dauphln. His
manner was simple, and of the placid dignity which
befitted both his heavy person and his alleged
ROYALTY But il was impossible not to feel that his
soitpess and repose might be also the craft o. tho

Women Suffrage Convention.

Omaha, 2S.-TO-day the morning
session of the national women's
suffrage association was held which
developed the organization Of the
campaign work. In the afternoon
Mrs. Shattuck, of Boston, and Susan
B. Anthony spoke. In the evening
addresses were made by Mrs. Ney-
man, New York, and Mrs. Minner
and Phoebe CoZZens, st. Louis. The
convention closed with a public re-
ceptiOn at Paxton Hotel, attended
by the leading citizens. The con-
vention has been a success and there
is no doubt that many converts have
been made, but, nevertheless, it is
doubtful if woman's suffrage will
be carried this fall. All votes of
persons not voting upon the ques-
ton will virtually be cast against
it. The suffrage convention will be
held at Lincoln on the 10th and 3Oth.
