MISS FOLEY.
This artist is engaged on a medallion of Sena-
tor Sumner, and one of Mr.. Longellow-both
OF them OF exquisite workmanship, and true to
life. Among her ideals is one of the Prophet
jeremiah, the subject taken from his own
lamentations over the captivity of Israel. 1t is
not OF pitful, whining old man, but man of
majestic features, venerable of years, with the
countenance of statesman.
Mr.. ROPES.
His walls are hung with views and sketches
taken in Italy during the past years. So at
tractive are they that his pictures are taken by
American visitors quite as fast as he can pro-
duce them. Among his paintings is a superb
view of Tivoh, taken from the spot where
Horace lived, the place where he looked out
RANDOLPH ROGERS
has number of commissions for ''Nydia,"
Isaac" and others OF his well-knoWn works.
His figure of Ruth cleaning is beautiful figure,
80 winning that, ii Ruth herself was half as
beautiful, no wonder Boaz singled her out from
all the other cleaners of the wheat-6eld.
Not long since, an English woman, with eye
glass In hand, was gazing at the statues i'll this
studio, and stopped to admire that entitled
.'The Sentinel"-a soldier of the Union, with
his mueket
'W6o is that ?" she asked.
''That is an American soldier-a sentinel
Madame"

entitled America Honoring the Fallen Brave.n
1t is the TguTe of q Queen, with wreaths of
laurel and immortelles in her hands. He has
two companion figures, one representing an
Indian mother sacrificing her child, the other
a Christian mother bringing her child TO the
baptIsmal font; both In obedience to religion
Another is entitled Captivity" the subject
taken from Isaiah, to be followed by another
representing the return OF the children of
Israel to their beloved land. He has two
Others in clay, one entitled "Ungrateful Lover
"a wayward son, spurning a mothers lnsruc-
tions, breaking away IRON restraint; the other
The contrast between all these subjects is very
striking and pleasing. Like his brotuer artists
Mr.. Hazeltine has quite as much as he can do
to keep pace with the demands of his country
men.
MISS sTEBBINs.
In the studio of Miss Stebbns you may see
one OF Longtellow's poems il marble. 1t is the
Angel Sandalfan:-
"He gathers the prayers as he stands,
And they turn to flowers in his hands,"
Another figure is entitled Autumn" child
loaded with grapes. Another a commission
from NJ. o. Roberts, of New York, is "Colum-

World.
MISS HosMBe.
Miss Hosmer's studio is exquisitely fitted up.
A magnificent fountain, OF her own design,
stands in one OF the rooms, so that with the
pounding of the workmen,s hammers. there is
the more melodous music of running water.
The fountain was commission ordered by
Lady -, of England. Miss Hosmer has in
process of execution ''The Sleeping Faun" and
also 1.-The Waking Faun," two groups, which
she intends to send TO Paris for the Exposition
These are the only two designs, believe in
her studio, except that of the soldiers monu.
ment for st. LOUIS. She has, however, quite
as much as she can well attend to in filing
orders for copies of statues already favoriteE
with the public.
MISS LEWIS.
In the studio once occupied by Canova,
found Miss Edmonia Lewis, who, | presume, il
perhaps tweDty-three years OF age, with African
and indian blood in her veins, She received al
education at Oberlin, Ohio, and spent a shor
time, l believe, in New York; then went Il
Boston and studied the art by herself, having
room in the Studio Building, where she modelled
bust OF Colonel Shaw. With the funds oh
tanned from the sale of the busts ordere
by the friends OF Colonel Shaw, and who wer
ready also to lend helping nand, she came T.
Rome little more than year ago, ignorant Q
the Italian language, and stranger to tn
place. she had already decided what course t
pursue. She had read LOngiellow's "Hawatha,
and lOnged to reproduce in marble the conceI
tion OF the poet. She modelled two groups, th
wooiEg and marriage of Hiawatha, and ON
ana lIte-siZe.
A copy of the Marriage of Hiawatha" hs
already gone to New York.
MR.. IVES
is engaged upon statue of heroic size of IL
late Bishop Brownell, of Hartford, Connect
cut, which is to be in bronze. 1t will be ca
at Munich, and will stand in the Collel
grounds in Hartford.
MR.. FREEMAN.
The only finished picture which this arti
has on hand is a scene on the morning OF u
resurrection of Christ, the three Marys at Il
tomb, the Angels, and the fleeing Soldier
These are the only figures. Mount Calvar
with its three crosses, and the city Of Jerus
lem, seen In the red light of the coming NOR
ing, form the background. 1t is wonderful
effective picture.
