As to the &a,500 Chandler received from
Rose, the revenue infermer, as part fee and
part loan, Ar. Stevens learns that Mr.. Cha1d.
ler was ready TO pay the Government, but
the authorities at Washington said they had
no claim against him. Their claim more
properly was against Rose, and Rose could
have looked to Chspdler. The water In tht

lored convict whose term will expire In 9
few days, informed Aaier Bogkin that he
found gold watch under tho western steps
Of the Capitol building on the 29th Of Janu.
ary while cleaning up the premises. Hill
stated that fearing to carry the watch with
him to the penitentiary, where it would
have been taken from his person by the
officers, he had LETT 1t In a place Of conceal
ment. Probably he meant to get it when
released and to cay nothing about t.; but,
overcome by eompunctions Of fconscienee, he
pursued a better. course, and informed Major
Boy kin and delivered it ap. The watch Is
q double-case one, OF fine gold. but light
weight. Unless claimed by the owner before
the 1st OF June Major Boykin intends to
give 1t up to Hill.

DR. CURRY's ART NorEs.-The following
extracts are from Rev. DR.. j. l.. M. Curry's
last letter in the Religious Herald, from
Italy:
The true work Of the sculptor is upon the
clay model. He forms the conception, re-
wolves it In his mind, elaboratss it painfully,
and then works 1t out in clay. The sculp-
tors eye, the refined taste, the creative ina.
aginatien, the patient, plodding effort, are
all needed until the idea is actualized In clay.
Putting into marble is the work of the arti.
san. The question which once excited some
discussion In Richmond would only provoke
ridicule in Rome. Barely do any but begin
ners or poor sculplors handle the chisel, IN.
less it be to put few finishing touches. Mr.
Ezekiel, whose father lives In Richmond,
was engaged on Centennial work, ordered
BY some friends in America.
Randolph Rogers, who married Rich.
mond lady, "a genial, hospitable gentleman
as well as an accomplished sculptor. What
he contributed to the monument on Capitol
Square In Richmond attests his ability. His
Nydia and Somnambula, full of pensiye
thought, are beautiful conceptions, but bis
Lost PIeiad, on which be now labors, If the
marble equal the clay, will rank among the
best of modern sculpture.
Hiram Powers has two sons who continue
the profession In Florence. They inherit
much of their fathers talents, and while not
able, as Hiram Powers said he could do, to
make marble blush, are still acquiring an en-.
yiable reputation.
Mr.. Hart, who made the statue of Henry
Clay in Capitol Square, still lives, an en,hu-
siast and worker. For twelve years he
has been working upon the model of Ve-
nus, and seemingly has attained to almost
perfect accuracy and beauty Of form and fea-
ture.
Mr.. Montalant is q native Of Norfolk, and
has some very pretty Grecian and Roman
pictures.
Mr.. Chapman, a very cordial old gentle
man, Is 8 native of Virginia, and warm
friend and ardent admirer of Governor Wise.

mond, for 5000. It is said 10 be the intsn-

SIMPLICITY AND STRENGTH AT LAST
ACHIEVED III SEVERED RAILROAD AxLgs-DR
r. W. NELSON'S PATRNT.-One of the most
important and difficult problems Of railroad
mechanics has, it Is claimed, st last been
solved by Virgins gentleman, DR.. Robert
W. NslsoB, OF Charlottesville, by the inven.
ton Of car-axle which enables one wheel
to reyolye independently Of the other, and
yet combines simplicity and strength
hitherto On unattsinable desideratum
Many previous attempts have been
made to attain this object, but with
out success, until railroad men have
begun to consider the thing Impossible
But Or. Nelson has, he thinks, by an en-
tirely novel and simpleSrrapgemens, effected
what no one else has ever done. His patent
| is spliced axle severed in the middle, one
half being bored into conicai cavity, ir
which works conical spindle turned on te
the end of the other half. On the solid bal
| is projection Of about an inch In the forE
Of q collar, which holds In plaee cuff OF
| sleeve, which Is followed out for half its
| length sufficiently to slip over said projec.
ton. The inner portion of this cuf
| is a female screw, which is screwed
up on q male screw turned on TIT
| emu OIL tuc HONonSu haii~aAlcs LIE
| cuff, by an inner projection or shoulder
working against the projection on the solid
half, holds that in place, and being screwed
up tight on the outer screw Of the concaved
half Is held Ia place by steel spring, one
end of which is doyetailed into collar or
the axle whilst the other fits into fange
several of which are made on the outer edge
of the cuff, enabling it to be screwed uI
tighter at pleasure. The weakening of the
axle by the severed method is lessened by
the cone, which fits well inte. the concave
and the cuff going entirely over the hollow
completely remedies the defect; thereby
making the axle as strong as solid axle
and ali by the simplest means conceivable.
Strength and shsapness combined is the
great end for which all patentees of inde
pendently revolving wheels have striven
and all patents hitherto have sacrificed on
to the other. Those who have examined DR.
Nelson's patent however, are OF opinion
that II any severed axle Is practicable thts i
the invention. The Doctor is now makini
preparations to have his inveAtion practi
cally tested on the Chesapeake and Obi
railroad, In this city.
