Legislation and the school system from its in

ecclesiastical organizations under control of the

American institutions to resist the acgre. SONS
OF the Romish Church, and to sustain the true

State and municipal appropriations for sectar
ian purposes, and cal ling upon patriots to resist,
BY all lawful methods, efforts to change the
present system Of public schools.

more street. The enterprise of the firm in
connection with these scm-annual openings
will be appreciated by the general business
community, when it is known that they are
each made at direct loss to the house of about
two thousand dollars, the patterns being dis
posed of at about one. third or one half less
than their original cost 10 Paris. This is done
in order to preveut loss to the customers of the
house, but the business sagacty of the firm 10
making this liberal outlay is at once apparent
when it is known that buyers are attracted
from nearly all the leading cities of the West
and South and it may also be stated that
such visits have beneficial effect upon the
wholesale aud iobbiug interests of the city gen.
orally. At the ope ing yesterday buyers we're
present from Chicago, ST. Louis, Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, Harrisburg, Richmond, Norfolk,
Raleigh, Louisville and other Western and
Southern cities; and also from the various ci
ties and towns of Maryland, while there was

Mount Savage, once prosperous and at
tritctlVc, is now, comparatively, ut a stand
still The GREAT number of stone fences
scattered over the hill-sidcS remain as an
evidence Of the industry of the people who
We're at one time gathered at that point.
The rolinm-mill, then the life OF the place,
is now a fair representation OF the ruins of
oldcn time and the furnace would require
about 500 600 to pat ii in working condi-
ton. Then Mount Savage gave employ
mcnt to about one Thousand men, but these
forces have been gradually taken OH, until
at present the number consists of about
anc hundred and fifty. The machine shops
are now the main resources upon which
the people depend.
Why this state of affairs should continue,
or even exist, no good reasons have been
given a two foot vein of ore, containing
about sixty per cent. of good iron, lies
about sixteen feet beneath the surface of
Henry and Joseph Trimblc's property,
about one and-a-halt miles south of Mt
Savage and Il half mil" from the railroad.
This vein extends over the greater part of
100 acres and could be delivered at the
furnace for about $4.50 per ton.

The Leo Memorial Statue.

Mr.. G. Barbee and Mr.. Roger
Gushing, the New York sculptors,
are giving the last finishing touch
cs to the Lee Memorial Stat1c.
which is to be placed on the grand
monument, that is now being exc.
cuted at his tomb, at the Washing
ton and Lee University, Lexington
Va. The figure represents General
Lee reposing in an easy posture
upon a couch, his head and shout.
ders slightly raised above the body.
his left arm outstretched by the
side OF his sword, his right hand
laid across his breast, and draped
in full Confederate uniform. The
appearance is natural and graceful,
indicating peaceful slunber rather
than death. This statue when fin.
ished, will be one of the finest pie-
ces Of sculpture and will be a last
ing honor to the fame of Mr.. Valcn-
tine, as it is a great credit to tho
gentlemen who are doing the work.
The block of marble from which the
figure was chisselcd was procured
from the qna1ries in Vermont, and
is one of the purcst blocks ever
gotten out there. It is free from
all black spots which is so abun-
dant in Italian marble. It weigh
ed thirteen tons when taken to the
studio; and the whole work only
weighs some six or seven tons now.
The gentlemen have made very
rapid progress on the statue since
they commenced it on the first Of
Octobe, last, and the finishing Of il
shows the well trained cllisel oia.he
artists. The statue is to be mount.
ed in the chapel at Lexington in
June next, but we trust the public
will have ample opportunity to in
spect it's admirable proportions and
and artistic excellence before being
removed from the city Richmond
