There is no art so pleasing to refined
tastes as that of the sculptor. Nothing so
adorns the garden, the lawn, the fernery,
as classic groupings of statuary. At the
head of the profession, in this country,
stands John Rogers. of New York, whose
fame is known IN this and the old
world as among the greatest Lying sculp-
tors; an honor not only to himself but to
America. The designs of this artist pos
sess. in addition to faultless workmanship,
the peculiar charm of the beautiful 10
genius. Possessed of indominatabe en-
ergy and love of his art, he has worked
himself up from comparative obscurity to

are among Mr.. Rogers's triumphs anC
have gained endless commendation from
critics everywhere.
5 Whole columns could be written descrip
