Casting a Bronze Statue.

THE lower half of Conrad's statue
of soldier, to be erected in Hartford.
was cast i'll bronze in Fischer's foun-
dry, Forsyth street, on Saturday. The
upper half had been finished. The
figure is heroic in size, and represents
young Union infantry soldier in uni
form, including overc6at and carving
a musket. The casting Of aiarge piece
in bronze is a delicate operation, re-
quiring care and artistic skill. The
making of a plaster mold from the
original model, then . plaster figure
from that mold, and finally from the
figure a sectional mold into which to
run the metal, requires many. weeks of
skilled labor. The element Of luck
enters largely into the eliminating at
tempt to cast, as flaws in the metal
often cause failures, imposing weeks
of additional labor. Consequently
the dozen workmen employed on Sat-
urday were viSibly anxious, and a knot
of spectators employed the entire aft
ernoon interestedly watching the pro-
cess.
The large box called "f1ask," con-
tanning the mold, clamped firmly with
iron, was let down with crane into a
cavity, and flowed over, so that only a
funnel protruded. This was close to a
brick furnace, in which the bronze was
heating over a great, roaring fire.
The metal, as 1t was Slowly
converted into liquid, was close
ly observed by the foreman. A
glimpse through an aperture showed
it, boiling furiously, like water, and
so hot that an iron bar stuck into it be-
came red almost instantly. When the
iron could be withdrawn without any
bronze clinging to it, the compound
was deemed ready. An immense
metal bucket, attached to a powerful
crane, was swung under the end of a
spout, the furnace was tapped and a
molten stream ran out. Sparks flew
in every direction, faces were shielded
hastily from the heat, and the dusty
plaster images of Franklin, the Van
derbilt bas reliefs, and other relics of
previous jobs were made to glow.
The bucket was nearly filled, a turn of
the crane took it over the flask, and
the liquid was, by tipping the bucket,
poured into the mold, from which the
suddenly-heated air rushed through
vent-pipes with a noise like escaping
steam. Some of the bTonze stopped
over and set fire to the : ii floor, and
the water that quenched the blaze
made so much steam that nothing else
could be seen for five minutes. The
casting was perfectly. Y. Sam.

Suicide In San Francisco.

In the Government building at the
Centennial Exposition is chart which
illustrates in a novel and striking way
the relative proportion of homicides
and suicides in the several sections
and States of this country. In this
chart the top row of figures on dia-
grams is devoted to the four great see
tions of the country, and the remain
ing figures relate to the individual
States. The key at the bottom of the
chart, explaining the vertical and hor-
izontal shading of the blocks. shows
that, of the individual States, Nevada
has the unenviable distinction of the
largest proportion, both of honaicides
and suicides, though in the matter of
suicides it is equaled by California,
which comes next on the list. After
Nevada and California, come the
States of New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Nebraska, Florida,
Wisconsin, New York, Kansas, Con-
necticut and Maine. The proportion
of males to females among the sui
cides is without great variation except
in South Carolina, i'll which State the
female suicides largely predominate,
and in New Jersey and the District of
Columbia. where the namber of fe-
male suicides is so small as not to show
at all. As these remarkable diagrams
award the suicidal palm to the Pacific
States, it may not be uninteresting
now that "the melancholy days have
come," to look at San Francisco S
standing in the matter. From the

taking in consideration the population.
In 1S49-5O, and a few years subse-
quent, the number of suicides was

An. Almost Incredible. lrnpOsture.

A REMARKABLE. story is related by
a legal gentleman of this city in a pre-
Hminary proceeding to recover moneys
fraudulently obtained from a wealthy
BroOklynite. 1t appears that in 1850
the latter had wild sort of son for
whom he hadi procured an appoint
ment as cadet at West Point. He
was expelled from the institute there
for misconduct. andl after roaming
around Brooklyn awhile he stole his
mother S. and sisters' iewelry and de-
camped.. 1t was, aSoertained three
years after. that he had been South and
was conscript in, the Confederate
army. A correspondence was started,
and the family heand from him occa-
SlOnally before the.war closed. After
Lees surrender he went to New Or
leans, and engaged in business there.
In 1866 he wrote to his father, asking
for So, 900, and later for 81, 900, which
amounts were sent him, as requested.
In 1867 he expressed desire to return
home, and money W3s sent him for the
purpose. The family anxiously ex-
pected him., and in the fall of that
yearhe came, SO changed that his fam
lily hardly knew hiIn, but he talked so
fairly about his relations that he was
unhesitatingly received as the long-lost
boy. Last week the legal gentleman
referred to received letter inquiring
for the whereabouts of a man named
George Westmanr who had disappeared
from. New Orleans in 1868-the former
partner of Mr.. H., son of the Brook
lyn citizen. The latter's son had died
suddenly, and Westman Immediately
ran away, leaving wife and chisd
scantily provided for. This letter was
shown to a neighbor of the Brooklyn
ite, who saw through the situations at
glance. Confronting the supposed
son., he boldly charged him with frau6u-
lently personatfng another, and, waen
he mentioned the name of Geenge
Westman, the fellow wilted like a. ten
der leaf in the chilly frost. He, ad-
mitted his guilt, and it was his eyi-
dent preparation for fight that led to
the legal proceedings to compel I1ina to
disgOIgs some of his fraudulently ac-
quiredJ pgoperty.-N. Y. Cor. 0h6eHgo

Shaved by a, Madman..

PAUL HAAS, barber, quit the barber
shop of the Merchants Hotel, in this
city, in August. He was offered an
increase of pay, if he would remain.
But hoping that he might earn much
more as an independent barber In a
Jersey town, and 50, be enabled to
marry Miss. BreWen,. of 128, East Six
ty-eighth street, to whom he had been
long attached, he declined the, offer.
He hired the basement shop at Main
and Bridge streets, in. SomenVilae, n.
j., engaged an assistant, John Hase,
and was soon prospecting. But his
business did not develop as rapidly as
he had desired, and he was occasion
ally respondent. A nervous disorder
also depressed his mind. On Friday
evening he hurried out of his shop,
after he had locked himself in for the
night, and ran through che streets
shrieking, "Mardert free' He ex-
planned that he thought that his shop
was surrounded by ruaalsans, who in
tended to break in and drag him out
to gibbet. On Saturday afternoon,
Haas began to shave Mr. Brown, a
customer, and then to whet the razor.
Then he stepped back pace from the
chair, and slipping the razor into his
throat, nearly beneath his right ear,
drew it with his left hand. deeply, tC
his left ear. The razor fell, and Haas
staggered around the room and fell
dead.-N. 7. S1tn.

AUTUMN MUSIC.

THIS is the path-here where the fence-rais lie
Across the withered fern.
Down-trodden now and dry:
And look against the cool, dark, azure sky
How warmly. brilliantly
The vivid autumn splendors glow and burn.
Oh, the sweet silencei When we came IN spring
Do you remember how glad bursts of song
Rang. greeting Us, and echOing
The shad0wy, long-drawn aisles among?
How everywhere
Bird called to bird with eager, questioning cry?
Now all is STILL
Save where our rapid feet.
Mid the crisp leaves and rustling brushwood
hieing
Send startled echoes through the forest flying.
Hush! step more softly, vet more softly. sweet!
Nay. pause moment. Listening, we shall hear
Divinest music thrilling far and near;
The heart of nature throbhing, beat by beati
Hark to the winds low, earnest signing
Solemn as voice of prayer;
The tender murmur of the hidden rill
The sound of ripe nuts dropping here and there;
Far Oft dreamy bird-song swelling, dying;
Some scarce remembered strain,
Half joy, half pain =s
Telling how fair,
But how beloved in vain
CThe old, old storyD
Was the dear ended summer, whose swift glory
Dies out, forgotten, lonely, in its wane!

Beg Thieves in Paris.

WE, have here a small Journal called
Les Pst5tes A.ffches, in which, people
advertise for servants, for places,
houses to let, or offer rewards, for OBJ
jeets lost. This has been used of late
fon species of industry very common
in England-the finding of lost dogs.
Recently the number of advertisements
in this journal of dogs found, which
coald be reclaimed by their owners
upon payment of a small rec0mpense
and the cost of keeping to date, attract
cd the attention of the. police. They
saw that company had been formed
for this special business. Last week
over fifty dogs ware found, and all
taken to the same place.. where they
were reclaimed by their. 0Waers upor
the payment of money, tha. sum vary
ing according to lhe evident value of
the animal. Or&erS We're given to the
police to look OFT for the, rascals. Yes

accomplice of the thief gave sharp
whistle. Meantime. tho lady was run

The Gar at the Palace of PeterhOff.

THE palace of Peterhoff is situated
on an eminence facing the bay, and the
space. between the extensive, but
rather plain, building has been con-
verted into a beautiful park. From
the central portico of the palace a
broad, sloping avenue leads down to
the beach, with wide stream of wa
ter in the middle, ripping over bed
of marble, and a line of splashing
fountains on each side for mile and
a half. AT the head of this avenue
there is large circular basin with a
group of marble Nereids in the center,
from which several immense columns
of water ascend to a height of sixty or
seventy feet. Around the basin there
are number of dolphinS, dragons and
nondescript monsters, who all send out
streams of water, and the whole sur
rounded by very pretty fence formed
by diagonal slender jets of the spark
ling liquid, crossing each other. The
waters had only just been turned On,
and the bands of music were tuning
their instruments, when / entered one
of the many shady walks which spread
out in all directions, and a few turns
brought me to small marble building
in Grecian style, half hidden by foil
age, with small knot of people loung-
ing about the entrance. A short dis
tance away groom was leading a
white charger UP and down. Upon
inquiry [ found that the EN-
peror was in the building, which
contains bath, and that the
people were waiting to present to
him complaints or petitions. Several
old women wanted to have their con-
Scripted sons returned, while others
We're suing for the pardon of some
criminal, and though had nothing in
particular to say to his Majesty, | con-
cluded to stay and have goo0 look at
him. We did not have to wait long.
The folding doors opened, and with
rapid strides tall form passed by and
had reached the groom with the horse
before any of the petitioners could ap-
prOach him. AS he mounted, had a
full view of his fair open countenance,
but his steed was a more beautiful OBJ
ject to look upOn-the nobleSt horse [
ever saw; of pure Arab blood, milk
white, with rosy nostrils, and grace
fulneSs and strength in every move.
When his imperial master seated HIM
self, the gentle animal turned its head
and affectionately attempted to nibble
the Emperor's boots, but "a single word
started him off on a canter, much to
the dismay of the petitioners, who en-
deavored to keep up with him, holding
out their papers. The Gar shouted
back a few words telling them to come
to the palace, and disappeared from
view. For. the sake of the beautiful
horse, I was glad to hear that there is
a park at Tzarskoie Selo, where all
horses who have ever carried his
Majesty on their back are kept in idle
ness and abundance when their time
of active service has expired, and
there is no degradation in store for
them to carriage or even cart horses
when old age comes on.-St. Peters

THE French administration of woods
and forests is accustomed every year
at this period to mark the trees which
are to be cut down the next season.
That work has been rendered super
t1uous this year in the forest of Com
piegne by the storms which have ragged
with such violence this year, and
which have blown down about $50, 600
loads of timber. No trees will in con-
sequence be felled in 1876 or 1877.
