4 Bold Criticism on Mrs. LQnOtry's Per-

Il Bold Criticism on Mrs. Langtry,s Per-
SON.
Under ordinary circumstances, criticism
has nothing whatever to do with the per
sonsl attributes of an artist; but when
these are the only grounds upon which she
bases her right to appear upon the stage
it may not be very far amiss to consider
her merits from that point of view.
She certainly has An air Of refinement
and of distinction, and is unquestionably
a well-bred woman. But these are not ex-
ceptionable qualities on the stage. Her
eyes are steel gray in color, and are by no
means sparkling or capable of variety in
expression. Her mouth is large and not
particularly shapely, while her lips do not
follow the line Of beauty in their forms.
Her nose is long, ungraceful in its lines,
AM. out of proportion to the length of her
face. Her chin is full and heavy, as is the
whole lower part of her face, which, though
amiable in its general expression, conveys
tho impression of fxity or lack of fiexi-
bility. Her neck is very beautiful, and is
superbly set upon her shoulders, which are
shapely and are we'll carried. Her hands
are large, though not badly formed, but
her wrists are ugly. and her arm, from the
wrist to the elbow, is anything but the ideal
OF physical beauty. From the elbow to
the shoulder it is thin in proportion to the
fullness of her figure. Her feet are large
and not we'll shaped. Her legs are thin
and far from abundant in lines of grace,
and her knees protrude. Perhaps the ar
tistic manner in which they are padded
may have something to do with the unfav-
orable effect produced. Her stage walk is
heavy and ungainly, and at times she stalks
with a vigor that is far from becoming. In
fact. to be brief, We have seen many women
Of much greater physical beauty on the
stage, about whom it has not been consid-
cred Of vital necessity for either the press
or the public to rave.

Story of n Cotton Bale.

this paragraph: David Crowley is the

the steamer Stonington, which has had
its quota OF mischances on Long Island
Sound. The old man is pardonably
garrulous, for the truth is alwaysain
him. lie tells vivid story of forty
two winters ago, and his recital brings
ND all the horrors of that fateful night
when the thermometer was at six be-
low zero, and the steamboat Lexington
was totally destroyed by fire. OF one
hun lred and eighty-four victims on
board, only four succeeded in getting
ashore with their lives. For fifty hours
Mr.. Crowley foated about on a cotton
bale. His feet were badly frost
nipped, and he is to-day, in his "sere-
and-yellow," minus several toes. But
lie held on to that bale Of cotton until
1863, when the raw material was worth
one dollar forty pounC. Then he sold
his "preserver" and banked over four
hundred and sixty dollars. And he
tells all this as modestly as if he was
not that man, bur another man.

Honey.

The honey is, as Il rule, very sweet
and fragrant, but is sometimes very
injurious to human beings. Here l
may mention that no bee can suck
honey out of flowers, as is popularity
supposed. She licks it out with her
tongue, the end of which is covered
with hairs, so as to convert into d
brush, scrapes it between the jaws,
and so passes it into the crop, where it
is changed into honey. What property
may be in the crop which converts
flower juice into honey we do not at
present know. To all appearance the
crop is nothing but bag of exceed,
ingly fine membrane, and yet, after re.
manning for a little time in the crop,
the flower juice undergoes change in
consistence, flavor and scent, and.
whether the insect be q wild or domes
tic bee, the change is identical through.

A Glad New Year.

Sing soft and low, with tender tone,
A requiem for the years gone by,
With rains that beat, and winds that moan
Well join in mournful melody;
Chant to the wintry blasts that raves
So wildly over hill and plain,
Weep, for tonight, from out their graves
Old joys come crowding back again.
Pile high the fre-keep out the coltt'
Lay on the board your festive cheer;
Make mirth and music as of old,
Toweloome in the good New Year.
The Old Years brow was often stern,
And harsh his lessons-as we know;
But oh f! we have SO much to laaHi;
And wisdom often comes waah woel
Where are the forms that used TO sit
Beside us in the firelights blaze?
Where is their laugh, their merry wit,
Their noble worth, which sought not pra1sef
Gone! Yet their presence seems to come
And lingsr with us round the hearth;
They fit about us in our home,
And share our sadness-and our mirth.
Oh, what wealth of bliss was ours
In those lost days, so quickly fled
What fragrance dwelt within those flowers
Which seem 80 scentless now and dead
Whst blessed moments, cast away
In spendthrift waste, we might have stored!
What gentle memories for to-day
Might have been ours "a golden hcardl
Vain sighs o'es Joys departed now!
Well grieve no more for vanished days,
But forward press, with tranquil brow,
And still our thankful song shall raise!
Glad that so far our task is done,
That rest comes nearer and more near;
That soon beyond the transient sun,
We're sure to find glad New Year!

The aggregate sum of money paid

the outlay in this direction was

of live cattle from the United States
amounted to in the first half of the
present year. There is a. solid in
crease in the importation total fol
1882, and it is not likely that it will
fall much below $5,000,000. No other

From the programme Sor 1883 of
the French commission intrusted with
the restoration and maintenance Of
historic monuments one gets some
idea of the generous care which is be-
slowed in that country upon these OBJ
jects. The average annual sum thus
expended is about 100000. For the
coming year the list Of works to be
undertaken fills half column in small
type in one OF the Paris newspapers,
and embraces the whole country.
Among the items are the Chateau de
Courcy, the Cathedral of Laon, the
ramparts of Carca2sonne, tie amphi-
theatre of Aries, the Cathedral of Lii
sielx, the Chateau Of Blois, the Cha
teau Of Pierrefonds, the Cluny Mu-
scum, the Abbey Of st. Denis, the
chapel of the Chateau of Vincennes,
the Tour de Montlery and the antique
theatre of Orange. 1t further appear.
that a large number OF new works are
projected, together with the restcra-
tion and maintenance Of mosques and
Roman monuments in Algeria, and
megalithic remains scattered over
Brittany.
