In the Continental Monthly is a pleasant ar
ticle on Palmer, the American sculptor, who
had not even an average common school edu.
cation in youth, and who has never studied the
"old masters" or visited the art-treasures OF
Europe Our readers will be glad to learn how
the artist who chiseled the "White Captive -

He commenced life hs q carpenter and
Joiner, but, while practising his trade In Utica,
N. Y, his eye accidentally fell on cameo like.
ness. and as the dropping Of an apple suggested
70 Newton the laws Of grayitatlon, so the sight
OF this little trie was the talismAn that revealed
70 Palmer the artistic capabilities OF his genius
Being thus led 70 attempt the portrait OF his
wife upon shell. he executed his task-which
was in a twofold sense n labor of love-with
such fidelity to nature, such bold outline and
delicacy of finish, that connoisseurs detected
In II the hand OF a master. Thus encouraged,
he for two years made cameo cutting his bu6i.
ness, and followed 1t with remarkable success,
till, his eyes becoming affected by the exercise
Of this talent, he was Obliged to relinquish II,
with the expectation OF returning to his old
trade. But happily, he was induced to try his
skin at modelling In clay, and then he dis.
covered what was In him."

The Dannewerk.

In a letter from Flensburg we have the fol-
lowing account Of the Dannewerk," }" the great
bulwark of schleswigi
The fortress consists at the present day
(without going into all the nlcctics of histor-
ical detai) Of three enormous earthworks
stretching across the entire breadth Of the land
they are so arranged as to form the neck, or
funnel, with long outwork TO protect the mar
row channel through which the troops are ulti-
mately intended to be driven. Toward the
Baltic, or East Sea, there runs the "Ostef-
Wolden," Cor east rampart) this lies toward
the "Eckenforde," and is sometimes called
the el-Dannewerk,"
II is about two English miles long, the
earthworks being from four feet 70 nye feet
high and sixteen yards broad, and beset with
q ditch, the depth Of which varies from SIX TO
ten feet. Beyond this Is the great bay formed
by the river Schley, which Is so wide that no
troops could possibly attempt 10 pass It.
Stretching Immediately In front Of this is the
Kurgraben," which is upwards OF . mile In
length, beginning at the end Of seIksr Lake.
1t Is from ten 10 twelve feet broad, and from
four 10 six feet high. Behind this lies the
great Dannewerk" Itself, which consists OF
earthworks not less than fourteen miles long
In some parts 1t Is from thirty to thlrty-si1
feet high, and the ramparts are from ten Ia
twenty feet broad.
The whole Of these earthworks are lmmedl'
