Death of Mrs. Lee.

THROUGHOUT tbis'couury, aud abroad the ao-
nouuccmeut of the death of Mrs. Mary Gusts
Lee has been received with deep regret, her
truly Christian character, lovely disposition and
varied requirements having Won for her love, re-
spect and esteem. For many years she has been
an invalid, suffering intensely, at tunes, FROM
a neuralgia affection, under which, however,
she bore up with tor,ituae aud without COM
plant, but the death of her husband, the
great and good Gen r. f. Lee, and more re-
Gently, the loss Of a beloved daughter, broke
down the spirit that had so Dobly battled against
i'll health aud adversely, and she has been taken
to her reward.
For several years she had fondly cherished
the hope of ending her days at Arlington, the
parental mansion-hcr own home and the home
other children. There she was born, there
she had been married, and there her children
were born. Naturally all her affections cluster
ed around this, to her, halIowed spot, and as
years rolled on, she became more aud more
anxious to return to the old homestead, where
lie buried the remains Of devoted father and
mother, and where she had hoped TO have
peacefully surrendered her spirit to the God
who gave it, surrounded by all the rccollectious
of happier days. But 10 this she was doomed
to disappointment, disappointment that adj
ded to her recent heavy bereavemeuts, hnally
broke down a shattered constitution aud death
eusued She felt keenly the wrong imposed
upon her by the government. that without the
shadow Of right or justice, but merely by the
strong arm of power, withheld from her, her
own and her chiidrens', in violation Of the
very laws under which the property vas at first
seized; and few there are in the land, we should
think, who will not regret that this injustice
was perpetrated, and who will not now be will
ing that restitution shall be made to the de-
scendcn:s oil. her whose soul has passed to Il
happier home.
Her funeral took place on Friday in the
Memorial Chapel in Lexington, Va. Her three
sons, W. II. F. Lee, Gusts Lee and Robert
L. Lee, jr., and her daughter were present, be-
sides large concourse Of friends. Her re-
mains were deposited by the side of her hus-
band in the Memorial room. Mrs Lee was sixty
seven years of age. Business was entirely sus-
pended 10 the town, and many places were
draped 10 mourning. The obsequies were very
imposing.

The FARRAGUT MoDELS.-No one seems to
have good word for the models of statue to
Farragut since the Congressional Committee
rejected them all, and a correspondent of the
New York Tribune cuts them up in this merci-
less fashion,
Here are the models for the Farragut statue,
which are almost without exception the ludi-
crous failures of unheard-of stone cutters
Somebody named Turini illustrates his capaci-
ties by an Admiral, which is pleasant combi-
nation of a poet ard Pecksniff; and another
somebody, called Pickett, turns his subject into
a gold-laced clergyman of a mournful and sane
timonious aspect, who holds his glass gingerly
to his waist with one hand aud appears to be
contemplating doubtfully the future prospects
of al. other Christians. G. L. Ostner presents
a pedestal down which two dolphins wiggle,
and at whose base stands a fat boy in the act Of
bowling. On the top stands pompOus and
irascible Farragut of the fine old traditiOnary
sort, who is apparently shouting strong lam
guage at the noisy fat boy, j. Drishler, an
striking point is a brow, and which may be tru-
ly said to be terror to its foes.
Mr.. Fiske Mills sends a figure of a gloomy
and muscular policeman standing by a park
fence and playfully labelled "Farragut' for
this occasion only. Another Mills grinds ont
chubby and cherubic creature, who grasps his
sword and points into the distance in the ex-
tremely inane fashion which it is well known
all naval commanders adopt on important occa-
sions The models of Rogers and Nc Donald
both dashed to the mast-are rather better than
the others, having something of spirited
and enthusiastic action, but they have not,
among other lacks, the dignity that anything
larger than statuette requires. A Mr. Eze-
kiel is represented by work which looks as
much like an unhappy Feejee as it does like
ell presented. Itnobly sustains the reputation
of the artist 1t is the figure of respectable
old imbecile, with as much life, soul, verve,
spirit about him as a tobacconist. Any plas-
terer might mold hundred of him in a year and
never feel it: 1t is consolation to know that
though needing but one sorry vote to gain the
commission, Miss Ream did lose it with the
rest of the image-venders. That she came
within one vote of getting it is sufficient COM
ment upon the critical taste of congressman.
The Portland daily press., 1873-03-27

Now that the members of Congress have
got or can get the $1,000 that small major
ity voted to all, it is really wonderful to see
how many ways the people have to suggest
for its expenditure. One of our most respec-
ted citizens suggests that the whole amount
be donated to complete the Washington mon
ument now half completed at the national
capitol. Other gentlemen who most severe
" denounce the Butlerian raid, complacently
suggest that the Congressman drawing it
could embalm their memories by giving it to
TINS or that institution. Have they forgotten
