SARCOPBAGUs FOR GEN. LEE-A BEAU,
TIFUL Work OF ART.-Mr. Valentine. the
distinguished Virginia artist, was in Lexing-
ton last week with his model of the sarcopha,
gus designed for the tomb of Gen. Lee, in the
Lee Chapel of the University. The Gazette
says: The conception aud design of the work
is beautiful aud touching, and the wOrkmau>
ship itself perfect and mastery in all its de-
tails. The base of the structure is in the
form of pedestal, upon which rises the body
of the work, supported by pillars at each cor
ner. On this rests the couch, whereon Teposes
the recumbent figure Of the dead hero. On
one side of the sarcOphagus is the Coat of
Arms of Virginia, and on the other the arms
of the Lee family. One end has cross in
relief, and the other the dates of the birth aud
death of General Lee
But the striking feature of the design is
the figure. This, with the drapery OF the
couch drawn around it, reclines with an air Of
perfect rePose, which seems to say, Not dead,
but sleeping" The picture-the impression
produced upon the mind is deep-sweet re-
pose. MemOry-the voice of the surrounding
IL, that he is gone something even whispers
death, yet this mournful suggestion is temper.
ed by the language Of the fgure-by the
sweet assurance it seems to give, that obiivi,
Gus OF the conflicts, the turmOis the trials of
on eventful life, he only rests from his Inbors
The emblems of war are by his side, but the
inugnOr Of sleep has relaxed the grasp of the
hand that held the sword now lying useless
beside it. The likeness is striking, and the
whole design suggestive aud uppTOJriatc.-
The figure will be lie size, with the rest of
the work in proportion. 1t was conceived in
Imitation of the sarcOphaSi of olden times,
wherein were preserved the ashes of the kings
in RbaIR -
these, with their stiff aud unnatural figures Of
knights clad in armor, are found in the abbeys
aud temples of the dead of the Old World
MIR. Valentine has seized upon the idea of
these, and improved it by relaxing the con-
strained aud rigid style of those days, and by
producing an easy, natural and sublime work
OF art.

More InCend:arism.

This morning about five clock a one
story frame house in rear of Mr.. L. W.
lIarbaums wagon shop, in which he had
his working material stored, was dscov-
cred on FIRE. All efforts to arrest the
flames we're futile, and the building
burned to the ground. There we're four
new wagons, three buggies and lot of
wagon material, worth about $500, in i. ;
which, together with the building, worth
shout S400 or $500, is an entire loss to
Mr.. Harbaum, there being no insurance
on either.
The FIRE was in the midst Of eight or
ten frame buildings, and it was only the
energetic action of our citizens that pre-.
vented the flames spreading. Mr.. Har-
baums new two story shop and the
dwelling of Mrs. Catharine Wells were
only saved by being covered with wet
blankets and having water poured over
them continually.
That it was tke work q villainous,
sneaking inceneiary, not doubt is en-
tertained, for there hadn't been spark
of fire in the house for more than a year.
1t must have been the intention of the
scoundrel to have a grand illumination

PERsoNAL.-The Ledger, Louisville,
Kentucky, short time since published d
an article that did gross injustice to Rev.
H. W. Harris, now living in that city.
The article was copied by the Missouri
Republican, and probably other papers,
giving it a wide circulation. Mr.. Harris
was at one time citizen of this place,
and his friends read with deep regret the
article referred to, but will now be pleased
to learn that there was not the shadow of
a foundation for the injurious charges
made against him. Mr.. Harris was in
Baltimore visiting q sick vile and child,
and while there the vile slauder was
concocted by a jealous insurance agent,
who furnished a sensational newspaper
reporter with the slauder. After M.
Harris returned to Louisville, he pub
llshed card proving the charges false,
and referring to the officers Of the COM
pany for which he was doing business as
willing to substantiate his statements
He also demanded an investigation by his
church, and was fully acquitted. Many
who saw and read the article will never
see his defense, and hence the injuctics
done him can never be wholly repaired.
Some newspapers are toosssger tn pick
up sensational personal items, and !. is an
outrage the way many good characters
are abused by relentless reporters.
