Mr.. Mundy, the sculptor commissioned b. the
city of Rochester to make bust OF Frederick
Douglass, has been in Washington some time in
the prosecution of his work, and is Just putting
the finishing strokes TO an excellent likeness and
spirited representation OF his subject. Mr.
Douglass has strong face and well poised
head, set on massive shoulders, making him a
good subject for the sculptor.
Winnie Ream has new statue emblematic OF
"The Wes+," occupying the pedestal in her
studio, lately filed by the Miriam" sold to a
lady Of Philadelphia. THE West" is female
figure aptly personifying the region named, in
her 1.-the figure, rounded limbs, buoyant sep,
and radiant, hopeful face. In her hands she
bears q compass, surveyors chain, and other
symbols OF progress; at her feet rs a broken bow
illustrating the departed sway or the red man;
while sheaf of wheat and q yet more charac-
teIlstc feature in the shape OF stalk and ear
or two of Indian corn by her side, make the
other accessories.

Winnie Ream, OF Washington city. The bronze
statue was brought upon the stage and placed
