BILE Rue St Jean-St Seurin, No 70,
in that city. The fiscal returns of
Bordeaux from tho time Of the Duo
de Richelian's Governorship to the
year in which Jean Bonheur went to
the Rue Ste atherine, bear no trace
of any wealthy person of his name
living in Bordeaux, but numerous
traces of petty shopkeepers, costers
and such like. The birth place Of
Rosa Bonheur's father is also given
in a municipal certificate as the Rue
Entire Denx Mers. which although
rather a slum street, is fairly respec-
table. The witnesses of the famous
animal painters birth, as given in
the municipal certificate. are Fran
co.'s Bonheur, the infants grand

Guillaume Laville. a clerk, living at
2 Rae Castel Mouron, a rather SUM
nv place in 1922. The father of
baby Rosalie is Oscar Raymond Bon
heur, age 26, and set down as a
drawing master. His wife, merely
mentioned as such, is named Sophie
Christine Dorothee. The grand
mother on the paterpal side signs,

birth declaration AS Marianne Perard,
femme Bonheur, 1876. This is, and
probably was in that year, a wretch
ed street. FRANCHISE Boneur hired
himself out by the day to cook in pri,
vate houses. Bordeaux is, like all
great commercial places, q city OF
good cheer. The dinners of the Due
de Richelieu set up a luxurious aud
refined standard and had the effect
of enabling men cooks to earn hand
some wages.
T. would be interesting to know
why Francois and Marianne Perard
called their son Oscar Raymond and
why he dropped the former name.
There had never been an Oscar in
France before the translation came
out of Osslan's poems, that Bona
parte and Bernadotte used to devour.
We may conjecture that the Osaianic
taste and the poems, perhaps, also
infltrated down to the Rue des Deux
Mers. Nine Talma at public meet
ings recited selections from these
high-fown poems, which met the de
clamatory bent of the time. AT any
rate. Ossian was new to the French.
The fact of the journeyman cook
calling his son OSCARS not without
significance. There is no solid ground
to go upon to tracing the origin of
Rosa Bonheur's mother, Marquis or
Marquessa, beyond that she figures
in the marriage registry of Bordeaux
as a native of Altoona, and that her
given names, Sophie Christina Dor
othea, might have | cen culled from
the Royal Almanac of Prussia Rosa
