CHEVALIER PAQUIN.
•Few will recognise under the designation "Chevalier Paquin," the famous Parisian dressmaker. This lady has just been appointed to the Legion of Honour, the first of her class to win the distinction. Madame Paquin, however, is more than a famous dressmaker. Kecent French exhibitions have owed very much to her enthusiastic co-operation. A woman of great wealth, she has subscribed large sums to many charitable institutions, particularly to the Society of Modern Education. Finally, she has done very much to improve the lot of shop assistants in Paris by the example she lias given in the treatment of her own girl employees. ALBANIAN SONG OF EXILE. Now in Bender, now in Buda, Bide we lone and desolate. Patience heart! What boots complaining, Ho it hath been willed by Fate. Yet this bitter, grievous exile C'nnnot longer still be borne; Is't naught that we like felons wander From Fatherland as outlaws worn? Who tlie exile's grief can number? Say, whose woes can equal mine? E'en the viper, should she sting me, Poisoned by my blood, would pine!
