LMC X--1 was observed with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) over a nine-month interval to search for low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) which had been previously seen in one Ginga observation (Ebisawa et al. PASJ 41, 519, 1989). Power-density spectra in the range 0.001--1.0 Hz for each of the nine ~ 5-ks observations show no evidence of QPO near 0.075 Hz (with a 3sigma upper limit of <0.9% r.m.s. variation). However, the hardness ratio (5.9--15.9 keV/2--5.9 keV) is strongly correlated with an increase in high-energy count rate. Additionally, the very low-frequency noise shows a weak correlation with source hardness. Individual observations reveal that LMC X--1 undergoes short time-scale ( ~ 5 min) variability at both low and high energies, with the high-energy light curve lagging by _
