You've CATHOLICS FRIEND SocIETY.--We recur
to this subject again, at the request of the member
to whom alluson has been several times made, and
we now give the particulars, as elected at con-
ference of the parties concerned.
Our informant still adheres to his former declara
ton, viz: That he stated to the member that he
had heard that resolution had been introduced
into this society combining their purchases to Cath
ole tradesmen, and inquired of him iii so, to
which the member replied, yes.
The member admits he 30 responded, but that
he had reference to another resolution, about
which he was at the time conversing; which reso-
luton was introduced by Mr.. Savage, authorizing
the establishment Of schools in reference to which
there was passive understanding that no children
should be clothed at the expense Of the society,
unless they would enter the schools He further
states, that no such resolution as the one at first
alluded to had been mentioned, but that a member
had, in private conversation, declared himself in
favor of the proposition.
THE above has been submitted to the president
of the society, and by him approved.]
SCULPTURE IN THE RorUNDo.-0ver the west
door is represented the Preservation of Captain
Smith by Pocahontas," from the chisel Of Cappe-
lano, who possessed talent for execution Of the
first order; the group consists Of FIVE figures. The
moment represented is when.the death-blo was
prepared to be given the brave Smith, and it's pre-
vention by Pocahontas, the daughter of the chief
tain Powhatan. She is represented as hanging
over Smith to protect him from the blow. Besides
the Indian with the war club, at the head there Is
another who stands at the feet Of the captive, TO
whom Powhatan seated behind motions with his
hand to stay the blow of death. 1t is to be re-
gretted that the artist was not furnished with the
study Of living subjects for his Indians, as we
should have Witnessed in the present picture
very different expression of features, form and
costume that now exists, these partaking more Of
the oriental character. The whole subject Is very
highly wrought, and the costumes rich, but want
ing in truth Of fact. Captain Smith furnishes the
following sketch of this incident, which took place
in 1905;
"Having toasted him after their best barbnous
manner they could, long consultation was held,
but the conclusion was, two great stones were
brought before Powhatan; then as many as could
lay hands on him dragged him TO them, and there
layed his head, and being ready with their clubs
TO beat out his brains, Pocohontas, the kings dear
est daughter, when no entreaty could prevail, got
his head in her arms, and layed her own upon his
TO save him from death; whereat Powhatan was
eontented that he should live to make him hatchets
and her bells, beads, and copper"
