Death of Great French Nun.-One
| OF the foundresses of the Maison des
| Danes de la Retraite du Cenacle at
| Montpelier, Mother Helene de Lyon
mes, has died at the age of ninety in
the house Of her Order, which she had
never left for nearly thirty years. She
was a niece of Lamartine, the Poet
President of France, and sister of
the Bishop of Rodez, to whom Cardinal
de Cabrieres, the Archbishop of Mont
! pelller, has sent very beautiful letter
of coincidence. What a beautiful life
was hers!" he writes, land in what
terms OF affectiOnate admiration would
that great poet, for whom you have al
ways expressed so touching and re-
spectful an attachment, have sung her
praises now. Lamartine would no
doubt have contrasted the crowded,
restless days of his own life, so differ
ent from hers, with the silent years of
peace in which his niece has spent her
life"
