BEGGARs IN WASHINGTON Necessity does
not drive beggars out upon our avenues and
public places Labor of all kinds is i'm de-
mnnd here, and servants are much needed.
Where poor family come to want through
any kind Of affection, they have but to make
their wants known TO any persons acquainted
with them, and the means Of relief are sure to
be provided. The beggars who prowl about
are professional beggars, who come from other
places to impose upon the strangers visiting
us. We have seen some of them accosting
ladies, and refusing to leave them until paid
for doing 30. Cannot stop be pat to this?
CLARK MILLS AND HIS Next STATUE.-A
Washington correspondent of the United States
Gazette writes that Clark Mills the sculptor,
whose equestrian statue of jackson now adorns
Lafayette Square, has completed studio and
foundry on his farm, which he purchased i'm
mediately after receiving the commission to
execute an equestrian statue of General Wash
ington. II is said that he intends, to produce
the most imposing equestrian statue in the
world, even though its cost should exceed the
appropriation of $4,000 made by Congress
for this purpose. He proposes to locate the
statue in Pennsylvania avenue, half way be-
tween the White House and the Capitol. The
large open space which will be obtained by
the removal Of the market-house will afford q
most excellent site for this statue In this 10
cation it can be distinctly seen from several
quarters of the city, and it will possess that
prominence which should be allotted to the
representation Of parsonage who fills so prom
inent place in the thoughts and affections
of his countrymen. 1t will, undoubtedly, be o
noble work Of ART, worthy Of the sculptor and
his subject.
