The government of the Chartreux is
monarchial rather than communistic. The

CoNsTANTINE,s BASu,1c.

constantine erected a. splendid basili
ca on the supposed sites of the HOLY
Sepulchre and Of Calvary. It is gener-
ally agreed that the sites in question
were the same which have ever since
peen SHOWN, but the question remains
Wnether they were correctly. or even
honestly, determined. No one who is
acquainted with the Byzantine history
OF this age is likely to doubt that cred
ullty, fanaticism, and fraud are its dis
tlngulshing characteristics We have
the testimony of Gregory, Jerome, and
Chrysostom, who were all alike dis
gusted by the intrigues, the venality,
and the INSCRIPTIONS mendacity of
the Greek bishops, whom they de-
nounce.
Constantine himself was politician,
rather than a devout believer: his
cruelty is well known; also his indiffer-
ence to disputes on religious matters
which were regarded by the bishops
as of fundamental Importance. The
chronicler states that a Temple of Ven
us was destroyed by Constantine's
orders, Vita Constant, Ill, 25-S,) and
that the Holy Tomb was almost unex-
pectedly found by the patriarch I'M.
derneath the mound: but Eusebius
does not tell US by what means it was
recognized. and the discovery of the
cross is not noticed until twenty wears
later. 1t is not very probable that the
subject was examined by the patriarch
with the critical coldness of a modern
antiquary, and it is conceivable that
the site sacred to the pagans was re-
consecrated, just as pagan sites were
reconsecrated to Christian worship by
the missionaries of Gregory the Great
1t is at least certain, from what Je-
rome tells us, that the cave manager
at Bethlehem was found by Helena to
be chapel in which the mysteries of
Adonis were celebrated, before it was
reconsecrated as the site of the Ma
tivity, over which Constantine erected
the earliest known orthodox church.
There is no pretense on the part of
contemporary writers that any ancient
Christian tradition pointed out the lost
site Of the Holy Sepulchre, over which,
as they tell US, a mound had been
heaped up, supporting a pagan tenn
pie. 1t is more probable that they relied
on visions and miracles, such as the
later chroniclers record, to have guild
ed the pious Helena in the discovery
Of the sacred sites.-Maior Gender in

CHOPIN AND TENNYsoN.

Chopin is without dispute the Tenny-
son of the piano. The same depth,
warmth, and delicacy of feeling vitalize
every line. the same polish, fineness of
detail. and symmetry of form, the same
eXquisitely refined yet by no means
effeminate temperament are seen in
both.
Each shows US perfect passion. be-
yond the ken of common men, without
a touch of brutality, intense and We
hement emotion, with never a, hint of
violence in its betrayal, expressed in
dainty rhythmic numbers as symme-
trical as if that polish and symmetry
were their only raison d'etre. Super
fetal observers, fixing their attention on
the pre-eminent delicacy, tenderness
elegance, and grace of their manner and
matter, regard them as opponents of
these qualities merely, and deny them
broader, sterner characteristics.
Never was a grosser wrong done true
artists. No poet and no composer is
more profound, passionate, and intense
than Tennyson and Chopin, and none so
rarely pens line that is devoid of gem
uine feeling. Both had the heart of
fire and tongue of gold. Tennyson wrote
the modern lyrics of his language and
Chopin the model lyrics of his instru-
ment fol-. all posterity.-E. B. Parry in

ADVOCATING THE GREEK DRESS
From Nineteenth Century.l

rom N1QSCeenUn Century,
Lucasta-When you advocate Greek
dress, you lose sight of another objec-
tion, or rather defect, in it for our re-
quirements. 1t leaves the neck too
bare
Urbane-I should have said that that
is one of its great merits. The spring
of the neck from the shoulders is one
CT the characteristic beauties of the hui
man figure-a beauty which the old
Greek displayed.
L.-Yes, and the old Greek dress was,
no doubt, suitable to the old Greek
life. But it would not suit our ways
and our climate to have the neck bare
all day and all the year.
U.-Surely it is very much a matter
of habit, which may be altered. have
heard my mother say that in her youth
the collar of a woman's gown was ar
ranged to show the collar bones of the
wearer, even in morning costume. I
don't know that there were any more
colds or sore Threats than now.
Ii suspect that there were among
women. And it is pretty certain, be-
lieve, that the craze for classical
dress in our grandmothers' days, dur
ing which women went about decolette
and bare-arnled, in fimsy clothes and
Wintry weather, resulted in a great in
crease of lung and throat ailments.
U.-On the other hand, have been
told that doctors strongly disapprove
the mufling up OF the throat with
''boas" and fur tippets, now so much
in vogue.
L.-True. But does not our argu-
nent, as usual tend to recommend the
just medium which is always the
safest way? Let there be neither ex-
cess nor deficiency in the amount of
clothing worn.

Hions were with the white people. The
nosition she enjoyed was a peculiar
one and only definable by a perusal of
the peculiar circumstances connected
with her birth and life.

with race prejudice, although he owned
slaves and evidently was a believer in
the right of the stronger human to put
in bondage the weaker. Earlier in his
VIII he says:
l do enjoin my colored and natural
children that, seeing that the illiberal
and inequitable laws OF this territory
will not afford them and their children
that protection and justice which is due
in civilized society to every human be-
ing, always to keep by them will

recting the disposal of their property
after their death, until they can re-
move themselves and property to some
land of liberty and equal rights, where
the conditions of society are governed
by some law less absurd than that of
color
The old gentleman had a kind place
in his heart for his slaves. He says:
Should / leave any slaves, I earnestly
recommend to my executors not to
separate the families by selling them
individually without their consent, if to
be avoided. 1t is my will, and [ do
hereby authorize my executors not to
separate the families, but to allow any
of my slaves the privilege of purchas-
ing their freedom at one-half the price
of their valuation on condition that
they migrate to Hayti if they cannot be
allowed to stay free in this country"
Some Of these slaves, it is said, did
purchase their freedom and went to
Hayti, expecting that under the negro
government there they would have
more freedom and privileges. Several
of them came back in the face of the
law prohibiting free people Of color
from coming into the territory. One of
these was a negro woman who, when
the authorities got after her, declared
that they could do with her what they
pleased, but that she would rather be
hanged than return to that country.
Some friend interceded with the govern
or in her behalf, and the upshot was
that she was allowed to remain.
But to return to the history of Mrs.
Sammis. She was said to be remark
ably handsome mulatto, modest and of
refined department: and the same was
said Of her sister. The result was that
both secured white husbands. One mar
ried John Sammis and the other we'd
ded man named Baxter.
Neither OF these marriages would be
allowed under the laws of Florida,
which were strict against miscegena-
ton. So, to avoid prosecution. they
went out in a vessel many leagues from
the shore and beyond the jurisdiction

ceremony was performed

zens of the capital got together and
subscribed $500 toward the erection of
this monument to the memory of the
unfortunate men. A special committee
of three acquainted General Graham
with the action during the latter part
of August, and shortly after this the
matter was turned over to Lieutenant
Galley OF company D, light artlllery,
with instructions to draw designs Ior
the proposed monument.
During the month of OCTOBER, Lieu
| tenant Galley was absent on the plaS
tice march with his company, and nothN
ing definite was accomplished until at
ter his return about two weeks ago.
During the present month, however,
the gentleman prepared a number OF
drawings and submitted them TO the
commanding officer. The one selected
is a plain. simple granite obelisk, with
but little if any ornamentatlon. 1t Is
to rest on a base three feet square, one
and a half feet in height. Inc mann
shaft will be two feet square at the
base and ten feet high making the
total height of the monument eleven
and a. half feet. The base is to be nm
ished in rustic ashley, while the smart
will have a fine hammered surface. ON
the front will be the insignia OF the
company, consisting of it's name, the
number of the regiment and the
crossed cannons.
The exact wording Of the two other
| Inscriptions has not yet been deter
mined upon. but one side will probably
read:
Sacred to the memory of Privates
Clark, Byrne, Lubberding and Dugan,
who were assassinated July II, near
| Sacramento, by insurrectionists."
| The second side will state in sub
stance that the monument was pre-
scented by the citizens of Sacramento.
| The insignia are to be in full relief and
unpublished, while the lettering will be
! in relief and polished.
| Some minor details remain. yet to be
worked out, which include the exact
wording of the Inscriptions. Work will
| shortly be begun on the monument and
it will probably be erected at the
graves of the four men by the middle
of January. 1t is not expected that
the monument will be dedicated, how
ever, before May so.
