Another Piece of Sculpture. = Powers, the
sculptor, besides his statue of California, is en-
gagged on one of the Union. A correspondent Of
the Intelligencer says he suggested such work,
when Powers took him to his room and showed him
that he had anticipated his suggestion, by exhibit
ing clay model, representing female of majestic
proportions, in standing attitude, with one hand
resting on Roman fascia, the emblem of union
and strength; while the other arm is gently up.

| the solemn and earnest exprt sson of her fac,
seems to appeal. Like the other works of Mr.
Powers, the writer says the attitude and form o
this statue is easy, graceful and noble and is char
acterized by that peculiar dignity observable in
and which forms one of the chief attractions of hi

The Worlds Fair Statistics-Erpenses Of the
American Department.-Edward Riddle, Esq, has
prepared three octave manuscript volumes of re-
ports of the Worlds Fair. From one of the state
ments of this report it appears that Mr. Riddles
expenditures in the discharge of his duties Com
missioner, have been f43l5 So. 4d., of which
sum George Peabody, Esq., the generous American
merchant, advanced f3O0O, and Mr. Riddle fur
nished, at his personal risk, fl3l5 IS. 4d., and
without any charge for his own labor. The fol-
lowing is the appropriation made by the govern
ments named for defraying the expenses of theil
several commissions:
States Zoll Veian, f6l 900; Greece, 400; Tur
key, 6OOO; Denmark, Rizbault, dollars, 5000
Austria, 5000; France, SO, 400; Spain, 5000

Papal States, 1000; Tuscany, 2100; Tunis, 1900
Switzerland, 280O; Sweden and Norway, 100
Russia, SO0O
Mr. Riddle will ask Congress to remunerate hin
for the expenses incurred by him, and, Of course
there will be no hesitation in doing 80. Mr.. Pea
body will also, no doubt, be promptly repaid th
full amount advanced by him.

again " there il a great gulph fixed" between us.
This appears to be the great error, the fatal mis-
take, on which have been shipwrecked the aspra-

the happiness Of the world in all ages and nations

them worthy characters; and this, indeed, is the
intention of every Legislator; but such as do not
effect this well, err. And in this one polity differs

In paying due attention to the health Of the
body, is wiser, better and safer to allow dis
to pass into excess, and then seek remedy
when, alas remedy can be of any avail. But
for the present it is necessary conclude by briefly
remarking that mankind for thousands of years
have been allowing ignorance, error, privation vice
and crime to run into excess; and then, in all the
pomp and circumstance of trial and legal butchery
Of the man-made victim of evil, have sought to
find remedy in "the rebuke and penalties of the
law" which never have been, can, or will prove
