BUST OF COMMODORE MAURY.-The ad-
mirable bust of Commodore MAURY made
by VALENTINE (now at WEST 4 JOHN
sToN's), has already been noticed in the
local department of this paper. 1t deserves
more prominent attention. 1t is one OF the
best we have ever seen. The genius that
transferred that likeness to the inanimate
material, and the hand that shaped it, are
entitled to a high position Of responsibility
in the community of artists. 1t seems to
breathe as you view it, so true to nature is
it fashioned. The spirit Of the original is
impaired to the likeness. and it may be
therefore classed with the highest order OF
achievements in the department Of por-
traiturc.
Mr.. VALENTINE sheds lustre upon his
native city, and we deplore the depression
in the general wealth which deprives the
community of the ability to afford the pro-
per encouragement to an artist OF such
skill and genius. We trust, with an i'm
proved state of public thrift, he will find
Il better reward in the city where he was
nurturcd aud raised, and where he should
be cherished.

Chamber of Commerce.

This important institution has been well
maintained through the years of trial we
have endured. As We are about to pass out
of the years that have afflicted us to the
years Of prosperity and increase, it should
be cheered on to greater vigor and useful
ness. We urge the merchants of the city
TO stand by it manfully and hopefully.
They need such an institution. 1t is the
eyes of the city, and in some degree an
arm, to defend the public interests. 1t has
done a vast deal of good thus far. 1t has
protected the city from much injustice and
partiality, and cannot fail to be Of infinite
benefit to the commerce and general inter-
ests of Richmond.
Our merchants must begin now to look
ahead, and considering that they have
commerce to foster and extend, and
that it can only be increased and i'm
proved i'll proportion to their spirit and
enterprise-their combination and co0pe-
ration-guidei by wisdom and sustained
by energy, they should shake off
apathy and listlessness and go to work with
zeal and hope. We have indeed a bright
future. But it will be all the more bright
for the energy and public spirit of our citi-
zens. No matter what the advantages of
town, it cannot be very fourishing unless
its Inhabitants are sagaeious, energetic, and
public-spirited. Those advantages cannot
prevail to make fourishing self-indulgent
Ours are admirable. No in
land city has greater; and we believe that
no city has more industrious population.
The chief fault of our peoplc-and il is a
sad onc-is their want of the spirit of COM
munion and cooperation upon the matters of
public concern and enterprise. The Cham
Der of Commerce and the two Exchanges
are bringing them more together and giving
shape to matters of general interest, as we'll
as concentrating the force by which they
ire to be protected and advanced. BY all
means, friends, give thcm a hearty sup
1ort.

Tho Mechanics, Exhibit,on..

We earnestly urge the manufacturers,
artists, and mechanics, to take into con-
sideration at once the subject of building q
house upon the Fair Grounds for the exhi-
bition of machinery and inventions and
works of art at the approaching Fair OF the
State Society. The occasion will be grand
one. A great multitute will be attracted
people from all parts Of the United States
and the exhibition should be such as Will
repay visitors for their long journey. Inc
departmcnts of agriculture and cattle and
horses will, from what we learn, make
fine exhibit. one greatly creditable to the
State, in spite Of the disasters and depres-
sion under which our people have labored.
Surely the mechanics and manufacturers
will not be behind hand-will not be con-
tent with displaying less enterprise ana
public spirit than the farmer and grazler.
It will not take large sum to erect
building suitable for the purpose OF
the exhibition of machinery, and that sum
ought to be promptly raised. The Presi-
dent of the Society, who is farmer, has
set liberal example. Surely with such an
evidence from a different pursuit the me-
chanics cannot fail to emulateit. The mat
ter should enlist their most earnest zeal.
1t would be we'll for them to hold meetings
to consider their interests. \ very short
time will put the manufacturing interests
of this city in condition of great pros
perity and greater promise. The community
of manufacturers and mechanics should
prepare to accelerate this great improve
ment by comforting with one another and
reriving the spirit Of their corps by free
and liberal consultation. They will soon
have to deal with great enterprises requir'
ing their united wisdom and energy. Now
! is the time to consolidate their strength.

Tho story of tho sudden doo,h
OF Mr.. Raymond, Of tho Times. ia
but repetition Of that told Of the
quick ending of the livos of many
mon, and not n fow Of note, in
this great city, during tho past
few months. "Apparentlv in nor.
feot f health, he dropped dead."-
Study tho Now York papers from
day to day, and you will romarlc
the alarming frequency of this
sentence in their locul columns
why is it that sudden deaths oc.
cur SO often here? Is because
lite is so terribly earnest in New
York : Perhaps so. Men who
are I'm tho harness" horo mover

with tho world of Now York
arc forever working. Mon like

Tor moment dreamed that he's
would die rs he did; and when
the ncws Of his death camo thov
co"!a not reconcile themselves to-
1T or understand it at all. But
now nm explanation is givcn.-
Last winter when in Washington
on n brief visit, Just before tho in
augnration, [ believe, he met with
Il severe fall which injured him
about the head and shoulders 40
much that he was Obliged to keep
ms bed for several DAYS. The
physlc'ans now say that in this
1nil The sensitive veins connecting
with his brain wero hurt much
more seriously than was thougbt
at tho time. And thoir theory Of
DIS death is this: That through
inc constant working Of his brain
slnco then these injured voins had
Srndua'ly become more and moro
delicate, thinner and thinner. I'M.
I'll tho quick rush Of blood to his
head, when he leaned over to fix
the lower bolt on the door Of his
house on that Thursday night,
burst them, and caused his suddon
death.
