Po1cers' Statue Of Washington.-T Boston
Atlas has letter from correspondent at Flo.
renee, dated February 10, from which we learn
that Powers, the eminent sculptor, devotes
most Of his time to the statue of Washington
ordered by the Legislature of this State. The
writer says:
For one, | am glad he has adopted the Con-
tnental uniform, instead of throwing away his
efforts in spasmodic endeayors to force US to be-
lieve either that the Father of bis Country ever
appeared in the costume of Eden, or strutted
like provincial actor before the pnblic, in the
folds of Roman toga. The form is little
above the size of life. The hero and statesman
leans upon column, instead of standing stiffly
erect in that position which it is generally as
sumed must be selected to comport with the
dignity of character we so constantly ascribe
to Washington. 1t is evidently the intention
Of the artist to seize him in one of those mo-
ments, when full ofloye for his fellows, and in
spired with patriotic devotion, he is planning
the spirit and the words of his great legacy to
posterity-his farewell Address" am not
quite sure whether the posture will be pleasing;
though until the work is completed, it may be
thought to SAVIOR ofaudacity to express judg-
ment. There are some exquisite points in the
work; and as whole, it cannot fail to be wor-
thy of the fame of its author.

That same morning at s o'clock, the minis
ter Of police entered the cures room.
My friend,' said he, 4 confess my nferiority,
You are able to instruct me in expedients.'
'Saved' cried the old man bursting inio tears.
Saved said the minister, and rescued from
the power Of her cruel relatives. But the next
time, dear Able, that you want NY assistance
in a benevolent enterprise, wish you would
give me little more time to accomplish it,
Within the next twenty. four hours, by an ex-
press order of the King, the Duke de----and
his accompices were secretly removed from
Paris and conveyed out of the kingdom.
The young woman received all the care
which her precarous condition required; and
when sufficiently recovered retired to quiet
country village, where the royal protection as
sured her safety. 1t is scarcely neelful 10 say,
that the next to her Maker, the cure Of st. Ger
mais was the object Of her deepest gratitude
and filiaI love. During fifteen years the holy
man received from time to time the expression
of her grateful affection; and at length when
himself, from extreme old age, on the brink Of
the grave, he received the intelligence that she
had departed in peace. f. ...as, .,.-.,z .-..... &.
Never until then had word of this myster;.
GUS adventure passed the good cures lips. On
his death bed, however, he confessed the rcci-
tai to bishop, one Of his particular friends,
and from relation of the latter myself had
it. This is the exact truth

Mr.. Jeferson's Ten Rules of Lite-The fol-
lowing good rules for practical life were given
by Mr.. Jefferson, in letter of advice to his
namesake, Thomas Jefferson Smith, in 1892:
/. Never put off till to- morrow what you can
do to-day.
2. Never trouble Others for what you can do
yourself.
3. Never spend your money before you have
it.
4. Never buy what you do not want because
it is cheap.
5. Pride costs US more than hunger, thirst
and cold.
6, We never repent of having eaten too lit
tie.
7. Nothing is so troublesome that we do will
lingly. -.
s. How much pain have those evils cost us
which never happened.
9. Take things always by their smooth han
die.
10. When angry, count ten before you speak;
if very angry, count hundred

TThe Washington con nespondent Of the
New York Democrat gives currency to a some-
what wonderful revelation, according to which
number of wealthy CaIifornians have entered
into negotiation to purchase the Sandwich
Islands from their present sovereign, with the
view Of having them annexed to the United
States as county of California. The nego-
tiation, it is asserted, had been successful, but
the weak-mnded king was afterwards induced
to withdraw his assent. The Californians have
not given the project up, but are endea7oring
tp bring the King back to his terms.

U'Horace Mann, in recent lecture on Vic
torias realm, said it might be worth while to
inquire at what period in history. or in what
paroxyism of arrogance and selfesteem, a mere
speck on the ocean, an Island not half so large
as some of our States, came TO be called Great
Britain. The whole Island might be sunk in
ourfresh-water lakes without at all obstruct-
ing navigation!

some unexplained cause, a diminution in the

THE MoRMoNs AND THE NEW REPUBIc.
ST. CHARLES.

I, has already been stated iha, The Nor
mons have purchased Charles Island, one Of
the Galapagos group, with the object Of re-
moving lhilherand founding new Republic
This is important il true. The Galapagos
form cluster Of islands in The Pacific Ocean
near the coast Of Columbia. They lie under
the equator, and the centre island is in lor-
giinde IS deg. 80 min. w. They are uuin-
habited, but are frequently visited by the
South Sea whale ships, for fresh water and
provisions. The-largest is sixty 10 seventy
miles long, and fifty broad, In general, they
are barren, but some Of the highest have
sinnied brush-wood, and all are covered
with The prickly pear tree, npon which a
large species of land tortoise lives and
,hrives in wonderful manner. According
TO Captain De'ano, some Of the largest
Of these animals weigh 800 or 400 pounds
but their common size is between so and
between two and three feet long.
Their flesh is described as OF deighifu
/ favor, aud their fat is much sweeler thar
I hogs lard. Charles Island is one sf The
principal and most fertile of this group. The
contemplated colony indicates sagaciy OF
the part Of the leaders. They must be con
vinced tha, with the approaching wave o
civilization, they will be swept away, espe
cialy should they continue their infamou
system OF polygamy. Indeed, the recen
manifesioes Of Brigham Young have produ
ced any thing but IA favorable impression
and we have heard surprise expressed i
various quarters, at the appointment Of sue
a man TO such station. Al cur last date
from the city of The Salt Lake, great prepare
lions were in progress for the erection of tn
new temple. We may infer, therefore, tina
the new colony is intended merely as
branch, or perhaps as place of refuge j
the hour Of danger.
