Tho history of the negro race
teaches US that such declarations

Carew. the Irish scuIptOr.

There lately died in London, at the
patriarchal age of eighty-six, an Irish
man of remarkable genius, who de-
servedly acquired fame in the country
which he chose as the field of his labors.
We refer to John Edward Carew, a na-
tive of Tramore, county Waterford, who
as sculptor, added much to the nation
al honors which Irish talent has won for
the old land" Several of Carews
productions adorn public buildings in
England. Amongst them we may
specially name the fine statue Of Grattan
in St. Stevens Hall, the main approach
to the houses of Parliament. The re-
hero representing the death of Nelson,
on the Nelson Column, in Trafalgar
SQUARE. was modelled by Carew in less
than six weeks. Amongst the other
works of this gifted artist we may
enumerate the alto reliero, Z" Virgin and
Child" in the College of Old Hall; the
:. Prometheus and Pandora" the "Are-
thusa," and other statues in the Pet
worth Gallery; the colossal " Whiting
ton, at the Royal Exchange, London I;
the monuments Of Mrs. Fitzherbert and
the Rev. Mr.. Cullen, at the Catholic
Church, Brighton; fine altar pieces in
Catholic churches of Brighton and Of
Warriek street. London, and other pro-
ductions of great merit. Carew exhib-
tied on several occasions, at the Royal

Citses as Types Of Ideas.

A great city, whose image dwells in
the memory of men, is the type OF some
GREAT idea. Rome represents conquest.
Faith hovers over the towers Of Jeru
salem and Athens embodies art, the
pre-eminent quality of the antique
world. In modern ages, commerce has
created London; while manners, in the
most comprehensive sense of the word,
have long found supreme capital in the
airy, gay city of the Seine. What art
was to the ancient world, science is to the
modern. In the minds of men, the use
full has succeeded to the beautiful and
Manchester, fifty years ago a small Lam
cashire village, has expanded into a
mighty region Of factories and ware
houses. New York conveys the idea Of
vast railroad and telegraphic center !;
while Chicago, the restless pioneer of the
Old Worlds progress, is in itself small
empire of action, where each individual
citizen is willing to risk breaking his
neck if he can only accomplish some
thing few minutes before his neighbor
Boston and books are synonymous, and
Philadelphia continuity of uniform
brick houses is sufficiently suggestive OF
calmness and Quaker simplicity. When
one mentions New Orleans, the lmagln-
alton Immediately pictures a semI-tropi-
cal CITY, full of the languid and yolup-
tuous repose of Creole life whereas
Cincinnati dispels all romantic vision,
and immediately becomes the prosy
PorkopOlis. San Francisco, being made
nm Of sdventurers, gives one the idea of
vigorous speculative life, much as Que
bee. the finished town Of America, does
| of an antiquated stagnation.

HALLECK AND POE.

The sum total of Halleek's life and
poems is as it should be-as clear, un-
equivocal, and complete as the pages of
the business books he was wont to keep
so correctly. Edgar Poe was, Enhap-
PLY, the direct opposite of this Reg
alar work had no place in his vocabulary
However numerous his friends during
life. but few remain to him now and II
seems quite the fashion to eensure, with
out stint, his wild career in talk or writ
ten criticism. Erratie, reckless, impul-
sive, with passions wild and strong
like Burns, he early fell a victim to I'M
curbed propeRsities to evil. He passed
a miserable hand -tO-mouth existence on
earth, lived in fancy-moulded world Of
his own, broke the heart Of wife he
dearly loved, failed in everything but ac-
auiring fame, and died Of excess in early
manhood. Upon his poor wrecked life,
society might be more ready than 1t Is
to drop tear of pity and forgiveness
Admiration, we must all admit, Is due
to his great genius. chambers Ency-
clopedia ranks Poe among the rarest
poets of any land or time. The dirge
/ for his first love, weird and supernatural
in its perfect frenzy of grief, is bitter
wall from a remorseful eonsesenee. 1t
has scarcely rival in the language 20
DISPUTE its intense expression Of devo-
ton and sorrow. There is nothing IN
Poe that rings of the wildwood and
Aowery heather All is cloud, storm,
and shipwreck. He seems the inearnate
demon Of destruction and desolation.
Natural disposition probably moulded,
quite as much as circumstances, the
course of these two men. 1t appears
hardly possible that they ever could
have been warm friends. Their helds
were different, and so were their moral
natures. Health and morbidness can
not assimilate. If long life, pleasant
social intercourse, well won repute, and
a peaceful end are the best things We
/ know of. then Halleck was thrice blessed.
| The brilliant and original Poe, as If TO
balance his more palpable and fiery ge-
MUS. had little of these to mitigate his
wretched lot, yet fame behind that WII
shine like melancholy star when many
a better man, if not more genuine poet,
IS hidden In the clouds OF distant etner
of time. Diverse as were their eartniy
careers. and various their eharaeteris-
tics. Halleck and Poe leave 70 their
country a legacy of poetry such as no
Americap and sssuredly no New Yorker,
CON ovsr regard with feelings other than
+ -, - ,,ride and satisfaction. .-RONad
