Of gallantry, dressing up, carousing, intriguing
conspiring quarrelling. duelling and poisoning
But Mrs. Champney makes romance the hand
maid of history. Besides the familiar memoirs
and chronicles, including the writings Of the in
evitable Brant6me, she has consulted many
archaeological works published since the day OF
Dumas, among them the magnificent tones Of
Miintz and Palustre. One Of the best tales in
her volume is The Cardinals Reliquary,' of
which the following synopsis will convey a par
tial idea:
Jean Goujon, an eminent sculptor, is model
ing statue OF the late Cardinal Arnboise. to be
placed on the prelates tomb in the Cathedral of
Rouen. He is invited by the Cardinals nephew
to the Chateau OF Gallon, where he meets one
Brother Paul At Gallon the sculptor hears
the story of the portrait of the beautiful Joan
Of Aragon, made by Raphael, by order Of the
Cardinal who greatly admired the lady, but
which picture concealed in the castle, no
knew where. It is supposed, however, that
the Cardinals reliquary, entombed with his
body, contains the key to the mysterious hiding
place. Brother Paul, enemy Of the Car
dinal, would like to make away with the por-
trait, and therefore suggests that Goujon shall
take advantage of his work at the tomb in alb
stracting the reliquary. The sculptor refuses to
commit the sacriege, yet desires to save the
picture BY accident he notices a crack in a
panel of a room in the castle where Solario, a
pupil Of Da Vincis. has been painting frescos
The discovery Of keyhole in the panel follows
Goujon picks the lock- finds the portrait by
Raphael, and, with Solario's colors, quickly
daubs over the heavy coat Of varnish likeness
of Louis XII The portrait is saved.
This story is told in the first person singular
by Goujon. To-day a picture of Joan of Ara
gon. attributed to Raphael. hangs in The
Louvre

and primerlke-a condition which is sufficiently
explained by the PREDATORY statement Of the
origin of the work. 1t undertaken at the
suggestion of "a cultured woman who entered
actively into the opportunities of her New-1ork
life" She said Write a course of lectures
upon the political history Of the United States
and I promise to form a class of women, all as
i'll informed as I am and equally anxious to

were presently expanded into the book be-
fore US.
The most conspicuous shortcoming Of the work
is a lack of comprehensive grasp of certain COM

enactment of the Ordinance of Freedom" are

Purchase to be considered. The authors
manner Of narration is however, always such as
to be easily understandable and agreeable as
far as it goes, if not especially illumnative of
the intricacies and subtleties Of political action
The following passage on Lincoln. at the close
of the volume, is fairly illustrative Of the au-
thor's relatively restricted development of
thought, also Of the general excellence and
the occasional slight defects of her diction:
This man Of rigid honesty and strict integrity
democratic in the best sense, with much Of
the native flavor Of the soil full of American
humor, and withal tender of heart; loving his
country with quiet intensity, and taking the
wide outlook of the statesman, who sees not to-
day only but the distant tomorrow. Abraham
Lincoln shared the common weakness of the
race-on occasion he blundered and was mis-
taken-but he felt impelled to do his duty, and
struggled toward the right God gave him to
see it. He left what he had not found-a ma
tion. The doctrine of States rights was dead

Almost Every Speaker at PhiladeI-
phia AIIudes to Subject.
Philadelphia, May 22.-That creed re-
vision is the leading issue of the Pres
byterian General Assembly was strongly
evidenced during to-day's sessions, when
almost every speaker took occasion to
mention the subject during the course of
his address. Shortly before adjournment
Rev. DR.. Richard S. Holmes. of Pitts
burg, startled the commissioners by
launching into a discussion of the ques-
ton, but when he stopped long enough
to announce that he was simply leading
up to point in connection with his ap-
peal for assistance in removing the mort
gage from the New York Presbyterian
building, no objection was offered. A mo-
uon was made to hold the meetings of the
assembly during the debate on revision
at the Academy of Music, but was not
acted upon, as the order Of the day took
precedence.
In stirring address Robert z. Speer
OF New York, secretary of the board of
foreign missions, defended the mission
aries against the malignant and venom
Gus criticism" which he said they had
suffered since the Boxer uprising in
China.
