Well Known People.
Thorwaldsen, tbe great Dutch sculp
tor. after working for more than four
months unrecognized in Itouie, deter
mined in despair to return home and
lay down the sculptor's chisel forever.
A chance error by a careless clerk hi
drawing his passport detained him
tweuty-four hours. During that Inter

the studio, admired his '-Jason" In clay
and aroused tbe desponding Dane's
hope by ordering a copy In marble.
Thorwaldsen unpacked his tools and
Sever afterward In bis long career
lacked patronage.
i Rachel, the great tragedienne, was
when a child a street singer and as
such might have passed Into woman

critics dining together chanced to bear
her loud, clear voice beneath their win

derful faee and eyes aud in a kindly
spirit proposed to her protectors to
place her in tbe conservatory as a pu

Sir Walter Raleigh would probably
have remained out of favor with the
court had Elizabeth on her walk to the
Tower chanced to take a path less

the story of how the gallant Sir Walter
spread Ills cloak beneath the royal feet
and was rewarded with his sovereign's
smile and speedy restoration to favor.
