ious throughout all nature. Up to the time of George Sand or George Eliot it had not seemed possible that a woman could be a great novelist, or up to the time of Elizabeth Barrett Browning that she could be a great poet, or up to the time of Rosa Bonheur a great painter, or up to the days of Mrs. Siddons and Rachel a great actor, or until Mrs. Somerville's day a great scientific writer. Even to the present time, for some reason, the corresponding figure among musical composers has not appeareshe shares least in the current educational advantages of all kinds. Among the eminent women above enumerated as pioneers in other intellectual spheres not one was German; we do not know that George Sand, or George Eliot, or Mrs. Browning, or Rosa Bonheur, or Rachel, or Mrs. Somerville, would ever have raised her head above the surrounding obstacles had she had the ill-luck to be born near the Rhine. Even in France there is no Salique Law in intellect; compare, for instance, the five ample vol

h all the rest. When Mrs. Somerville wrote her Mechanism of the Heavens, critics of this description admitted that she had proved, indeed, that women could master astronomy after a fashion, but probably chemistry would be beyond them. When Rosa Bonheur painted cattle it was remarked that probably she could not have painted men as well if she had tried. Then came Elizabeth Thompson in England, and painted men fighting-actual battle-pieces-and the critics turned round and wondered if she coulrly be regarded as first-class intellectual work. Until within a century but one single instance of this success was recorded — that of Sappho, in lyric poetry. Within the last century other instances have followed-Rachel in dramatic art, Rosa Bonheur in animal painting, George Sand and George Eliot in prose fiction. These cases are unquestionable. Other women have at least reached a secondary place in other spheres — as Mrs. Somerville in science, Harriet Martineau in political economy,

had gained fawm. in Italy, on the stand which she had made for it. While she was thus securing physical health and power of endurance, her mind was growing as well; but not without certain incidental disadvantages from the free, wild, and even rude manner of its development. Books did not suit her active temperament and her taste for concrete things. Of education and culture in the sense of the schools, during the years of, childhood, she had little. In this respect she resembles Rosa Bonheur, who found her early education chiefly in the lessons of nature learned out of doors. Her sports and the prophetic labors of the clay-pit beguiled many of the hours of study; and, very naturally, through her unrestrained liberty and occupations usually regarded as suitable only for boys, she acquired much of the character and manners of a brave, roguish boy. She was an intractable pupil, and if the report is correct was expelled from one school, and given over as incorrigible at another.

Rosa Bonheur. Prof. James M. Hoppin. The happy and beautiful name which heads this article is nt's name, a superb Sevres vase. In 1849 Rosa Bonheur sent to the Exhibition a number of remarkabn her. But she was still the same simple Rosa Bonheur that she is to-day, absorbed in her art, ancreation. Perhaps the highest quality of Rosa Bonheur as an artist, and that is saying a great dehe wins our inmost sympathy. Physically, Rosa Bonheur is of medium, or rather small, stature. Heer of such perfect simplicity and purity as Rosa Bonheur's could find the slightest satisfaction of rsey, and is now owned by A. T. Stewart.

s Frederick, daughter of Queen Victoria, and mother of the present German Emperor, was the honorary colonel of the hussar regiment whose uniform she wore, with the addition of a plain black riding-skirt. Civilization owes this lady a debt that cannot be paid save in grateful remembrance. During the Franco-Prussian War she frequently telegraphed to the German officers commanding in France, urging them to spare the works of art in the conquered country. Through her efforts the studios of Rosa Bonheur and other famous painters escaped destruction. The early part of September was spent in Switzerland. Chamounix filled the travellers with delight. They walked up the Brevant, rode to the Mer de Glace on muleback. The great feature, however, of this visit to Switzerland was the Geneva Congress, called by Mrs. Josephine Butler to protest against the legalizing of vice in England. At the Congress to-day — spoke in French.... I spoke of the two sides, active and passive, of human na

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.match Race. Charleston, S. C., Jan. 30th, 1861. The long talked-of-match between O. P. Hare's Delphine and Thomas Puryear's Rosa Bonheur, two mile heates, was run to-day over the Charleston course. The match was made several months since for $2,000 a side.--Rosa won in two straight heats easy and well in hand; time, 3:49--3:50½. Very little betting. The backers of Delphine offered freely $100 to $70, but could get no takers at that. The streets here are full of soldiers, yet the city is comparatively quiet. Yours, X.
