the happy idea of filling those natural
molds with peculiar solution of plas.
ter, by which process the victims are
reproduced in their integrity
The first group reproduced was com.
posed of man, q woman, and two young
girls, who remained within doors until
too late; when they attempted to escape
by the windows or terrace, they were
suddenly asphyxicated, and covered by
the dust, which faithfully preserved the
contour Of their forms, In 1868 n body
thus reproduced was that of a man who
had fallen face downward, whose countc-
nance was the very image of despair and
suffering, his clenched teeth and .clasped
hands eloquently expressing the agony
he had endured
Next in interest is the form of wo-
man who had fallen on her back, whose
right hand leans upon the earth, her left
hand raised, as il trying TO ward, off
danger To aid her flight she had raised
her vestments. Her form is tall and ele-
CANT, her admirably arched foot incased
in strong sandals being favorite sub
ject of study TO artists. On one Of her
fingers is silver ring, while near her
were found gold earrings, silver mir
ror, and an amber statue representing
cupid. Her hair in the front forms
three rows Of ringlets, and falls plated
over her back in the manner of the Vol
taire pe1rUques
A remarkable group of three persons
has been admirably cast, which is in the
highest degree interesting. A man of
tall stature and powerful build, with
strongly marked features, prominent
cheek-bone, heavy beard and mustache,
is the principal figure. He held in his
hand the earrings of the two young girls
who followed him, and the key of the
house, and looks the beau ideal of an
old Roman legionary. Over his head he
had thrown the corner of his mantle for
protection against the noxious gases or
the falling dust and cinders, the express
sion on his face and that of his two
daughters being suggestive of sufiocation.
There is something touching in the spec
tacle Of the two sisters who followed their
father in the precise attitude as they
fell, supporting each other, breathing the
same poison, and dying entwined in each
others arms. Both the figures are Of
beautiful forms and proportions.

SUGAR DEALERS AT THE CITY HALL.-We
copy the following from the Times OF last
evening:
A number of prominent receivers of sugar
this morning called upon the Mayor and
City Administrators, to ask for more room
and an extension of the time during which
sugars can be permitted to remain on the
levee. They claim that very often boats do
not arrive until eleven A. NJ, and that they
are not discharged until long after the
market for that day is closed BY eleven
o'clock the next morning, before they have
had time to sample the consignment and
exhibit it, the lot is carted off and often
divided among the different sheds.
In disposingof sugars it is very necessary
to keep the lot intact, and to readily sample
every hogshead; This. under the present
management, they claim to be impossible.
They ask, further, an extension of the front
allowed for the receipt of sugar, and that
some repairs be done to the earthwork of
the levee. One gentleman stated that
during nearly all OF last winter the hogs
heads were in six inches of mud, and that
many purchasers declined to even visit lots
exposed for sale.
A committee of brokers have also waited
upon the Mayor, to complain of the exac-
lions of the Sugar Shed Company. Nearly
all of the sugar which reaches New Orleans
is purchased either by the West, the re-
tiners, or the brokers. The latter, COM
munity numbering perhaps one hundred
men, purchase from the original cOnsignees,.
and retail to the grocers at an advance of
one-eighth to one-quarter of a cent per
pound. They contend that the exactions of
the Sugar Shed Company of an additional
charge at every sale, is ruinous to their
business, and that the small advance on
first cost. which heretofore afforded a COM
Portable livelihood, by this increased ex-
pense, has become utterly inadequate.
