venient, impervious TO frost, and |
am confident that cattle are wintered
in it at fourth less cost than when

Mr.. PEABopY's STATUE IN LONDON.
Peabody's statue cannot escape the fate Of all
London statuary. II no fault is found with the
sculpture, it's position does not escape criti-
cism. The Builder says:
The committee went all the way to Rome to
get q sculptor, Mr.. w. W. Story, who is an
American, land an able man, too and coul
rot find founder to put the work into metal
nearer than Munich-Frederick Miller. After
all this long travel, and the expenditure OF
some $4,000, what is the result? We answer,
with regret, an entire mistake and disappolnt-
ment-at least for the present. The excellent
philanthropist sits hatless in an ordinary libra
~ chair, without single touch OF ideallty to
make it other than seated man most awk-
wardly placed among some irregularly shaped
buildings apropos OF nothing, and square with
nothing.
The first impression on seeing the figure is
that it is something up for sale; the second,
especially If there be q number OF persons
gathered round about it, that it is an auctieneer,
not for sale, but selling. We are not joking,
neither do We desire uselessly to find fault.
Our object is improvement, il possible.
The figure cannot remain where it is. Be-
fore the permanent pedestal is ready to be
erected better site should be found for it,
and carefully designed canopy should be put
over the statue. The stalwart form Of good
George Peabody, in his coat and trousers, as
he lived, sitting without his hat among the in
surance Offices at the back Of the Exchange,
in q peting shower OF pea.soupy fog, is q
sight that surely cannot long be endured, even
in London.

We learn that a brother of Governor Walker, OF

the test oath against the members OF the

Intentions. concerning which many conflicting
statements have appeared IN print. General
Canbv told his visitor that Virginia could not

senators were elected and admitted to Con-
press. Therefore, the new constitution Whlch
abrogates The test oath was not now IN force,
and members OF the General Assembly
(although elected under lt) could not be ex-
empted from taking the oath. Beyond this
important point, the military ruler OF virginia
did not choose to be very communicative. IL
is evident that he is waiting ror more precise
instructions from Washington; and 1t may De
that he will have to wait Tor some time YET.
The Cabinet seems to be spit up on tne SUD

Governor Fish and Generals hawilns anu Cox,

Radical senators and congressman. Presi-
dent Grant is represented as on the fence
ready to tin either way according to the pre-.
ponderapce Of advice, but we cannot lend full
credence 10 that statement. There is no doubt,
however. that plot is medltated by which all
the fruits OF the late Virginia elections are to
