STATUE OF THOMAS II. BENTON.

In the coming month of May there is TO
be inaugurated at st. Louis a portrait
statue of Thomas Hart Benton, the great
Western statesman, who died in 1853. The
movement to procure this statue had its
incipiency SHORTLY after Mr. Benton's death.
In 1860 the Missouri Legislature passed an
act appropriating $2500, with the condition
that sufficient additional sum should be
subscribed by individuals. The proper
commissioners being appointed, the County
Court of st. Louis appropriated $2500 for
a pedestal, and the commissioners and a
few other private individuals, $500. In
the summer of 1860 Miss Harriet Hosmer
was selected to mould the statue, and in
the following fail she visited the West to
collect her materials for the work. In the
fall of 1861 the plaster cast of the model
was sent from Rome to Munich to be cast
in bronze at the Royal Foundry. This
was safely accomplished, and the
statue was as safely sent to the
United States. 1t weighs three and half
tons, and Is ten feet high The pedestal,
which is of New England granite, will be
placed on a foundation two feet above the
surface of the ground, so that when erected
the head of the statue will be twenty-five
feet above the standpoint of the beholder
The upper draping is cloak resembling
Roman toga. The lower limbs are draped
partly in antique and partly in modern
dress. The hands are represented as un-
rolling a map. Miss Hosmer found her
inspiration for the character of the statue
IN a speech which Colonel Benton deliv-
cred at a Railroad Convention in st. Louis
in lS49. From this speech she has taken
these simple words, and inscribed them on
the pedestsl, "There is the East-there is
India y For this statue of Benton Miss
Hosmer was TO receive $1,000 in gold, of
which amount it is estimated that she has
received $1,000. The statue has been COM
pleted about three years, but has never
been removed from the case in which it
was sent from Europe. The orator, on the
occasion of the Inauguration in May, will
be Major General Frank Blair, whose ex-
tended personal acquaintance with the
dead statesman will enable him to pro-
nounce a most fitting address.

The fashion editor of the New York
Herald thus discourses on the incoming
style of ladies head gear:
There is, probably, no article of lady's
toilet that so completely captiVates the
female heart and calls forth such rapturous
praises as the innocent, useless little bonnet.
A wondrous transformation has taken place
this year in bonnets of every description :;
but the pleasing satisfaction still remains to
us of knowing that We are retrograGing in
a very handsome manner. A short time
since we had the "Marie Stuart " shape !;
and now, having rolled along with a com
mendable velocity through historic ages,
We find ourselves face to face with the be-
witehing, graceful "Marie Antoinette,"
the picturesque Spanish mantilla, or cas-
quette, and last, but not least, the "Coronet,"
or "Diadem." Yet we venture to assert
that none of these bonnets will be in vogue
a year hence, simply because they are not
what is needed for comfort or for beauty,
although they may be stylish. Tulle and
lace are now the materials principally used
in the construction of these fairy fabrics :;
but straw bOnnets for spring service are
considered chie-and chic you know, means
everything. Satin, lace, metallic wreaths
and ornaments, and flowers of different hues
are now the prescribed trimmings. The
enlargement of the bonnet-that is, what
there is of titles more in the trimming,
which is very elaborate, rather than in the
bonnet itself. Wells may be said to occupy
the place where once the sheltering cape
protected the back of the head and neck,
Il al 4
meaninglessvoid that always gaped between
crown of head and front of bonnet. For
summer wear the incoming styles are in
themselves the hardsomest and lightest, if
not the most becoming, with which We
have been blessed for many long years.
They are, to be sure, very eccentric in
many respects. But what of that? Pre-
cisely the same thing has been thought and
said concerning every innovation brought
about in the modes by her moody dameship,

Two negroes Of Texas falling in love
with the same negress were induced by her
to fight a duel, che having promised to
award with her hand and heart the con
querer. A squad Of idle soldiers consti-
tuted themselves as seconds, took the two
lovers in the woods, armed them with
muskels, and put them twenty PAGES apart.
Ii seems that one Of the principals had
loaded his musket with an immense load of
powder and a handful Of musket balls.
When his gun fired everything fell before
him. He killed his adversary, wounded
four Of his seconds and had his own breast
works seriously injured.

Of his command, but large portion Of his
