Before her, eighteen women have had their names inscribed on the golden book of the "Chancellerie de la Legion d'Honneur." The fiest upon whom the reward of courage was con- ferred was Mme. Abicot de Ragis, whose husband was Mayor of the Commune of Dijon. Three burglars, desirous of destroying the municipal papers, set fire to the building after effecting an entrance. Mme. Abicot, although her clothes were acorched by the flames, rushed upon the men, fell struck by a knife, rose again and pursued them, wrenching from the most desperate of the crew, after a dangerous struggle, the cross of her husband's father, which he was carrying
off with other valuables.
Twelve of the "Chevalieres were Sisters of Charity, heroic in their deeds of mercy. The others are Rosa Bonheur, the painter; Mme. Dodu, the mistress of the telegraph office of

Several actors have received the cross, the most illustrious being Delaunay, of the Comedie Francaise. M. Coquelin, the younger, is the only actor having the military medal; he won it during the siege of Paris as Sergeant of the Third Regiment of the National Guard,
In order to reach the highest grade of the Legion of Honor the statutes require that a certain stated time should elapse between each progressive nomination. There have, however, been a few exceptions to this rule. After the 2nd of December and the coup d'etat the Duc de Momy, then only a Chevalier, was created Grand Cross; M. Pouyer Quartier, who negotiated the treaty of Berlin, passed from the rank of Knight to that of Great Officer, while the Comte de Gontant Biron, Embassador. of France to Germany, received the brevet of Grand Cross without ever having belonged to the Legion.
The order was founded by Napoleon I in July, 1804, at the most glorious Time of his Between the bat- conquests and victories.

was the Emperor's intention that the little, cross and narrow red ribbon should be the visible emblem of a purely honorary reward, conferred on whomsoever had achieved glory in warfare, science, art, letters or worthy deeds, and that merit, and bravery. shoold be thus acknowledged in the civilian as well as in the soldier. He submitted the members of the order to a certain rule and discipline; he insisted that the insignia should be worn in public on all occasions, a statule which virtually appeared to exclude actors; he did not admit that such a distinction could be refused by any citizen, and conferred it on 'men who were avowedly his enemies when their names had honored France. Toward the close of the triumphant Napoleonic era, there existed 48,000 Legionnaires. The. first brevels were all signed by the Emperor himself, and for that reason Rochambeat, Lafayette, Vice-Admiral Truguet, and the poet Lemercier refused theirs, being unwilling_to take an oath of loyalty to the Emperor. The only man belonging to the manufacturing or industrial classes decorated at that time was M. Delessert, who, with great expenditure of labor and money, had succeeded in extracting sugar from the beet root. This discovery was of incalculable importance, as the English cruisers Interrupted the importation of sugar from the colonies, and it cost in France $1.25 per pound Every cross given to civilians carries a tax, payable to the Grande Chancelleric, and the moneys thus obtained, as also those derived from the authorization wear fartiga orders, form a fund whence the pensions of the widows and orphaned daughters of Legionnaires are drawn; but these resources are inadequate, only amounting to about half the sum required, which should be $60.000.
The Great Chancellor of the order is at present General Faidherbe. This noble ald veteran is suffering from a nervous disease caughtin Senegal during the hardships of the campaign of 1870. which has deprived him of the use of his legs, but in no way impaired his brilliant intellect and active mind. Seated in a'chair_running on Castors, which be maneuvers with marvelous dexterity, the General presides in person over every branch of this administration, entering realously into the minutest details. The educa- tional establishments of the "Daughters of the Legion of Honor St Denis, Ecouen, Les Loges, are under his jurisdiction, and he is ever ready to receive in blu office either the pupils or their relations to present.
The Vice-President is the General Rousseau who distinguished himself by his bravery in the army of the Loire.
The Grand Chancelleria does not prosecute for illegal wearing of decorations, that duty belonging to the Prefectare of Police, but it grants the permission necessary for wearing any decoration obtained abroad. The desire for these alien orders is on the increase, especially since some restrictions have been added to those existing already in the case of the Legion of Honor. The foreign order more frequently seen is the “Micham," perhaps because so many officers served in the Tunisian campaign. The next is, the "Christ" of Portugal, and, strangely enough, it is most frequently seen on Jews. The ribbon, being the same color as the Legion, has been the cause of many fraud- ulent contraventions. The wearers hope that by inserting a tiny star in the center of the bow
And Dr. Young in turn says:
Be wise to day; 'tis madness to defer.
-Night Thoughts. Although Congreve had said long before him:
Defer not till to-morrow, to be wise; To-morrow's sun to thee may never rise. The oft quoted line of Campbell:
Like angels' visils, lew and far between.
-Pleasures of Hope.
Finds its parallel in Binit's lines:
:

And these lines again must certainly owe something to Poe Norris, of Bemerton (died 1711), who says:

A BIT OF STRING.
Lydia Elliot, of the Lower Hutt (N.Z.), is an artless pansy-bud still rejoicing in the glad golden apringtide of youth, though soon to be sunkissed into the fragrant flower of womanhood-aged 18, wearing a blush, a bang,, and No, 10 poloshes. For the past to moons she has cleaned the moleskins and bashed the hash of a worthy settler for the honorarium of eight shillings, à week and found.” But, though lowly her lot, and of poor but honest parents, many long, long thoughts fit through Lydia's carmine-thatched cerebrum. The cold and cynic stranger, watching Lydia peel the harmless necessary potato, milk the mild-eyed mangle, or turn the creaking cow, would little suspect the wealth of weird, wild fancy and unutierable longing to blaze comet- like in the world's eye that cavort beneath her modest exterior.

Returning late, they heard shrill elfin shrieks and broken-hearted sobs issuing from their handmaiden's bower. Inspection revealed that crushed, fragile flower apparently lashed to her bedpost and, like Godiva of old, clothed-on with chastity" and nothing else but freckles and a bit of string. Unlike Godiva, her "rippling tresses" were not "showered to her knee," but were scattered in crimson profusion, bedewed with local bear's grease, on the floor.
