to make such disposition of my limited funds

A correspondent Of the LoHdon Reader
gives the following details regarding the
production of statues
"The sculptor, having designeds figure,
first makes q sketch Of it in clay few
inches only in height. When he has sat-
isfied himself with the general attitude, a
cast is taken Of his sketch and, from it q
model in clay is prepared, Of the full size
he designs for his statute, whether half
the natural height, life size or colossal.
The process Of building the clay, as it is
called. upon the strong iron drmGtIrG or
skeleton on which it stands on its pedes-
tai, and the bending and fixing this arma-
tuTG into the form Of the limbs, constetute
3 work of vast labor of purely manual
sort, for whose performance all artists able
to afford it employ the skilled Workmen to
be obtained in Rome. The rough clay, rude
ly assuming the shape Of the intended
statue, then passes into the sculptor's
hands and undergoes his most elaborate
manipulation, by which it is reduced Cgen-
orally after the labor of several months
to the precise and perfectly-fuished form
he desires should hereafter appear in mar
BILE. This done, the foTmdtore takes cast
of the whole, and the clay is destroyed.
From this last plaster case in due time the
marble is hewn by three successive work
mrn. The first gives it rough outline, the
seconk brings it by rule and compass to
close resemblance with the cast, and the
thiyd finishes it to perfection.

In bis speech at Boston, yesterday, Gen.
Burnside paid handsome compliment to
Massachusetts, soldiers, Of whom, he said,
he had commanded q greater proportion
than of those from any other State. 81
slways found them loyal and brave" he
added, and he never saw a Massachusetts
regiment turn its back on the enemy, nor
soldier or officer from Massachusetts,
quail or shake under any trial brought to
bear on him. The General continued:
"Had the soldiers Of the North Carolina
expedition been Of q different stamp we
never could have gone through the trying
scenes Of Hatteras Inlet. The patiencs
and courage Of Massachusetts, men on that
occasion deserve the admiration Of the
world.
ain doing homage to the men such as
have had the fortune to lead, we must not
lose sight of the fact that these victories
are due to the conduct Of the men who
have exposed themselves to the bullets Of
the enemy twenty times where 1 have been
exposed once. Yes, may say, on some
occasions, such as picket duty, one hun
dred times. There is 8 tendency TO lose
sight of the men, in doing homage to the
officer who is so fortunate as to command

The report of the school commissioner
of Ohio explsins fully why that state stands
SO uncompromisingly on the side of liber-
ty and good government. The numbsr of
schools taught in the State during the last
year was Il, ,66l, of which "a, ,2S8 were COM
mon schools, open 10 al. The number of
children enrolled in these common schools
was 725095. The whole number enrolled
in schools of all classes was $50, Alb. It is
noteworthy that during the year, 1929
colnred children received the benefits of
the educational system. The total expen-
ditures for educational purPooes in the
ssutU amounted to $2,409,613. No State
which boasts an educational system 30
complete and thorough as this can ever
array itself on the side of cause so op-
posed to the best influences of Christian
civilization, as that which Davis and his
crew sre striving to make successful.
Twenty years hence, when Kentucky,
Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, and
the other slave states shall have been en-
hghtened by the same educational system
as the northern states now enjoy, they
will be found as vehemently hostile as
Ohio and Massachusetts to whatever de-
grades the citizen or oorrupts the State

we are having most delightful weather, for

We are, however, not as highly favored
by the presence Of q dreaded visitor in

less than FIVE thousand cases in the city,
and an unusual fatality attending it. OF
course every effort is made to prevent the
spread Of it, but like every contagious dis
ease it fulfls its mission, despite human
agency. In the recent railroad accident
on the Northern Central Railroad, Hon. R.
C. Parsons, of Cleveland, had narrow
and miraculous escape from death. The old
couplet in such cases, has a peculiar sig
nifcsnce,

He is now in this city, almost entirely re-

TIE report of the injury to Mrs. Senator
Sprague, was incorrect, che being, to cur
personal knowledge, in this city at the time.
Oar member, Hon. R. P. Spalding, made
his debut before the House yesterday, and
fully justified the expectations of his
friends in a speech Of marked ability, on
the COnfscstion Bill. He held the House
in close attention for two hours, eliciting
frequent cheers from members and the
galleries. This hsttering appreciation Of
his opening speech will be to his constit-
uents at home, cheering verdict Of their
selection, and endorsement Of him as an
able and fitting representative Of their
interests. As Chairman ofthe Committee
on the General Bankrupt Bill, in course
of preparation, and soon to be brought be-
fore the House, the public and those inter-
ested in its success, may feel a confidence
that no efforts will be spared on his part

Stewards Diplomatic CorrespOndence--Tht

SBHhfdb , DlploulhllcO cOoEEehpoAuChSN-- a nc
Alexandra Case.
The recent publication Of Mr.. Stewards
diplomatic correspondence has only con-
frmed the reputation Of its author, in the
opinion Of all thinking men, as the great
est living diplOmatist. The people will
read with especial qualification his dis
PstUhvu to nfr. ADAMS, our Minister at
London, touching our relations with Eng
land. Their calm, firm and decided tone,
and the grave and momentous warnings
which they convey to the English Govern
ment, express precisely the sentiment of
the American people. For example, in re-
gard to the Alexandra case, Mr.. Seward
declares that, if there can bs found no
Justice in the laws Of England,
"then there will be left for the Uni
ted States no alternative but to protect
themselves and their commerce sgainst
armed cruisers proceeding from British
ports as against the naval forces of pub
lie enemy, and also to claim and insist
upon indemnities for the injuries which
all such expeditions have hitherto con-
mitted, or shall hereafter commit, against
u.s." and that in thus assuming the task
Of redressing our wrongs, England need
not be surprised if "the navy Of the Uni
ted States shall receive instructions to
pursue these enemies into the ports which
thus, in violation of the law Of nations
and The obligations Of neutrality, become
harbors for the pirates"
The tone of these extracts is precisely
the true one. There is in them as little
bluster as timidity, but their calm, earnest
and dignifed warnings, thus conveyed, are
far more impressive than any empty va
porings.

Conventional Orthoepr.

During q rough and tumble debate on
the Confscation Bill, yesterday, 1 paid q
little attention to the manner in which
certain words, OF very common use in the
English language, were pronounced by diff
ferent members. About twenty per cent.
Of the Representatives had something to
say. The Consitooshua was talked Of free
ly, and great love for the instrument was
expressed eloquent appeals in behalf Of
the iHstitooShEas of our country were made,
and it was generally conceded they were
great indeed. Several inquiries were made
es 10 irh1r certain authority was obtained
from, and the reply generally was, that if
the Inquirer would look in the right place,
he would find it thar. 1t seemed 10 be q
mooted question whether Congress had the
right to con-fs cate anything. 1t was ask
ed if doopIieGfe copy Of comething or 9TH
er could not be made, and gentleman was
referred to the Smithsonian IRStitoot for an
oPportoOnity to get what ne wanted. Life,
and liberty and the pursoot Of happiness
were declared the constitooshRHaL rights Of
everybody. The Democrats thought the
Republicans were revolutionary. Euro
pean preoedents were quoted and at home,
mere, we were G6IeTIeQ 10 inc uu6 GlaleS VI

ard was said to be the Secretary of State
and Mr.. Booohsnsn the last President
The AbelEioniStS were declared .fan-atics.
A great many men had been enlisted fol-
three years or dooring the war, but the
qIsoto Of some States was moi full yet. Ref
erence was made to provo msrshsls, pro.
cost marshsls and the Pro-Vo Marshal Gen.
ersl. High eulogies were passed upon the
people of certain dssstSiets, because they
had done their doOfy in filling up old Tg.
msnts. Men who didn't enlist were sdvis
ed to get su6Stitoots. Finally, somebody
offered resoIooShun that the House sd'
iourn, and the members went home to oslseI
over their imperfect accentustion.

Tho Pirst Ne,Erpnpsrs.

The first newspaper published bears the
date of November, 1857; the first English
one was in 1922, and the first French in
1861. A very ancient printed sheet was
offered for sale in the Libri collection, and
of which duplicate exists in the British
Museum. 1t is entitled " Ksue ZsituHg aus
HisPaniG uHd ItaIisn," News from Spain
and Italy, and bears the date of Februry,
1884. The catalogue gave the following
description Of it: An exceeding rare
journal, which appears to have been print
ed at Nuremberg. 1t contsins the first
announcement Of the discovery of Peru,
and has remained unknown to all the
photographers that we have been able to
consult. In this printed sheet it is said
that the Government OF Panumyrs (Psna
MAJ in the Iudies, wrote to his msjesty
Charles V } that the vessel had arrived
from Peru, with letter from the regent
Francisco Hiscsrs, (Pizarro,) announcing
that he had taken possession of the coun-
try that, with about two hundred Spar
isrds, infantry and cavalry, he had re-
paired to the possession of q great signor,
named Cassiho, (who refused peace and
attacked him, and the Spanisrds weFv the
victors, and that he mad seized upon five
thons~ud silver marks; and, lastly, that
he had obtained two millions of gold pieces
from the said Csssiho.

Postoalce nIonsr Ordsrs.

The establishment of Postof1ice Money
Order system is contemplated by the Gov.
ernment This is a desirable improvement,
and one We hope to see speedily put in
practice, as by it much of the present in
security Of the transmission of money by
mail will be avoided.
In Great Britain the money order system
has been in fOTcs for many years, and is
extensively used. Money orders are is
sued and paid at every post town in the
kingdom at a charge of Sd. for sums not
above e, and 81. for sums not above s5,
which is the highest sum for which a sin.
gle order is issued. Payment Of a money
order must be obtained before the end Of
the third month in which it was issued, or
a fresh commission is charged, and no
order is paid sfter twelve clear months.
Fraud is prevented by the refusal of the
Office drawn on to pay the order until the
official letters Of instructions from the
drawing Office have been received, and not
then unless the person presenting the
order can furnish the name Of the person
who first obtained it.

A Washington dispatch say that promin.
ent UniOnists OF Kentucky complain by
letter, and loudly, to the Government here
that the jails Of Kentucky are crammed
with Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia
slaves; that the silors of the different
counties in the State advertise for their
masters to come forward, pay charges, and
take their property away, or the same will
be sold according 70 law" and that the
proclamation OF freedom to the slaves of
rebels in arms in those three named States
is utterly disregsrded.
Officers Of returning regiments have
their colored servants seized in Louisville
by the city police and thrown into Jail,
snd Afterwards sold as slaves. These
servants we're procured in The States south
Of Kentucky. 1t is high time this outrage
was stopped.

A correspondent from Chattanooga ssys
the brutal treatment Of mules in the army
has become so notorious that the suthori.
ties have taken the matter in hand, and
established mule corral on the island op-
posite that place, where all worn out
mules are to be sent and recupersted. In
the last two months, the Qusrtermaster st
that point, Capt. Dudley, has received at
the corral over 5000 animals, only 1000
Of which have been saved. There are now
upon the island about 4, ,000 but they are
dying off very rapidly. A few weeks ago,
when the Tennessee was quite low, the
Captain swan 800 across to an island six
miles above, aud left them there, furnish
ing nothing but salt. The island is a
cane-brake, and the mules have fattened
up and are as wild as March hares. They
cannot be caught or removed from the
island, but be is building ferry boat to
bring them of, and will be under the ne
cessity Of lsssoing them before they can
be taken.

The Boston NumI,matio socIetv.

The annual meeting of the Boston Nu-
mismatic Society, held some days since, the
curator reported the number Of coins and
medals to be about one thousand, among
which are several rare pieces. At the same
meeting Mr.. Sesvey exhibited a small
parcel of very choice and valuable Amer
icaD coins. Among them were a silver
dollar of 1874, the finest known; a half
dime of 1902, one of five, the whole num-
Der believed to exist at present, or rather
known to collectors to exist; and q New
York copper of 1877, with the head Of
George Clinton, which is by far the finest
of the half dozen known. The collection
also contained other rare varieties of New
York Soppers, unusually perfect specimens
of early dimes, and rare patterns pre-
pared at the United States Mint, but never
adopted for the coinage. Mr.. seavey also
showed the two half eagles by the scquisi-
ton Of which he had completed his series
of the issues Of gold Of the United States.
Other gentlemen exhibited coins Of less
value and interest.

scme Of the chief events in the history Of
the formation Of the Constitution, he en-
desyors to deduce the conclusion that the
South have always aeDjOyed the right Of
Secession" The Constitution, according
to William Smith, was designed to protect
slavery, and from the day Of its adoption
to the hour Of rebellion, the South had al
ways made concessions 70 the North. For
years they have been casting a sop to
stay the rawlings Of that hungry, barking
Cerberus Of Massachusetts known as Fa-
nadcism. From 1850, when the Union
was saved by the precious concessions of
our Southern lords, the fierce spirit of
Fanaticism ran wild until finally Virginia
was compelled, the whole South was COM
pelled, to plunge into this bloody civil
war.
Such platitudes, we might inform the
new Governor, are rather late in the day.
They are too much like the twaddle of the
Copperhesd Press in the North. And al
though the rehearsal of the old exploded
notions of State Rights may do to kill
time in making an inaugural in Rich
mond in this most melancholy season Of
the rebellion, it will add nothing to the
strength of the rebel cause. Why, Gov.
ernor Smith, did you not deal with the
practical questions of the dsy2 Why did
you not face the terrible facts Instead
Of wandering through an old sOphism
about State rights, why did you not talk
about cOnscriptiOn, finances, want Of food
and ammunition Why did you not re-
fer to the great alarm Of the Southern
Press2 Why not something sbsut the
revolution in North Carolins2 Why not,
we ask William Smith knows too well
that the evils and dangers Of the Confed-
eracy are grown too gigantic to be consid-
cred in an inaugural. He knows that the
balances are trembling, and sOon that the
Confederacy, weighed in the scales Of Di-
vine Justice, will be no more. He is q
cunning Governor, and when affairs are
so gloomy and desperate he does well tC
talk about State Rights.

A Oursiion AnnRered.

Rev. Dr.. Hitchcock, in lecture on
"Duty and Destiny" delivereiin Brook lyn
last evening before the Long Island His
torical Society, met the question of "Whst
shall be done with four millions Of eman-
oipste5 slaves D." By asking, "What shall
be done with all the red-whiskered men,
all the blue-eyed men, all the white-hsired
men ?" This question, he aided, was as
sensible as the other, and both were the
same kind Of sense-which was nonsense.
He conceived that there was no difficulty
in answering either query; the freed
blacks, like the free whites, would do hon.
est work for honest pay. So that problem
would solve itself The issue Of this war,
he said, was to be chaos or cosmos, and he
thought it would be cosmos.
The lecture sbounded in telling hits,
and very general desire was expressed
for its repetition,
