TIE STATUE OF GENERAL EDWIN d.
GAKfP-The statue OF Edwin d. Baker, OF
oregon, poet, orator, governor, L. s. Sena-
tor, and general, has arrived and been placed
in YOsiliOn in Statuary Hall, at the Capitol.
10 IS the work of DR.. HOratiO Stone, who
lei q few months since in Italy, where lie
made the statue. 1t is life size and stands
on handsome dark PEDESTAL, and Is made OF
uIe white Italian marble. TIE friends aut
.el8tives OF the deceased statesman pro-
nOuI &c the likeness good, and the entire
Work worthy OF the reputation Of the artist.
He IS represented standing with his left foot
lightly advanced in the act Of deli geriug an
grafton. His right arm Is elevated IN front
Of and across his breast, the index finger
poioting downward. His right arm rests
against his breast and in his hand he carries
small roll. The head is we'll thrOwd back
and the expression of the face is earnest and
animated. a military cloak or mantle is
thrown across his left shoulder and sweeps
in graceful folds around his form, falling at
his feet on the left on military nat sur
mounted with an ostrich plume, beside
which lies a sword. The tout ensemble is eff
fective, the erect 6gure, the manly face, the
bald head fringed with curly locks, and the
short side whiskers, all reminding one OF the
Senator Baker of 81, when in the attitude of
delivering one OF his stirring OrationS. The
statue is not the gift OF Oregon, but was pro-
viGed for by Congressional appropriation
several years ago.
