Models for the Lee Monument.

Yesterday a large box was received at
the capitol and stored away. 1t con-
tanned a plaster model OF an equestrian
statue of General Robert f. Lee. Where
it came from and who sent it is unknown
to ven the board which has te decide
upon the merits of the different works.
This is the second model which has been
received. 1t is stated that the first came
from Canada. Both are encased in strong
heavily-bound boards, which have no
mark upon them save the direction, "To
the Lee Monument Association, Rich
mOnd, Va" The board has prescribed
that the anne of the competing sculp-
tors shall be kept from them, as they
propose to adopt the best work, and will
be unbiased in their choice. In accord
ance with this requirement, no one knows
the names of the seulptors who are COM
peting for the great work. Other sculp.
tors are known to be working on medels
which will come in during the month of
September. The committee will prob
ably decide the matter before the end O.
the month if all the models are in. The
competition for this great work will be
very lively. Sculptors in Europe and
America have signifed their intention of
competing for it. Many will simply send
photographs of their models, in order to
avoid the great expense and risk. The
models will be exhibited in the hall of
the house of delegates. The committee
which is to decide is composed of the
governor, treasurer and auditor - Rich.

FACTS N FANCIES.
John Chinamnn's Conclusion.

John Chinaman at his washtub stood,
And cheerfully rubbed and secured,
The wages he got were small enough,
But never his soul was soured.
He did not covet n mansion proud,
His tastes were simple and few,
He washed away with a ightsome heart,
And sang as the soap-suds flew.
Soon the Mclean man he came that way,
And II grioved him sore TO see
A heather with plenty Of work to do,
And doing 1t merrily.
For the Mclean man was on a strike,
And his soul was full Of gall
So he rallied some other Mclean men
And gave the heather a call.
They kicked John Chinaman into the street,
And round the premises tore,
Till his tubs and other utensils lay,
A wreck on the laundry floor.
Then the heather he gathered his savings seant.
And he sailed for his own countree, :
"No Mclean man for me-" he sighed.
"He velly muehee too free" ~ Y Sun.

Last week we mentioned that some Sy-

shanties just above Curtis for the purpose
of camping out. The buildings being
completed, they are now occupied by q
party of ladies and gentlemens just
above these building there is smother
party, composed entirely of young gen.
tlemen, who have put up tent, and are
also camping. These young gentlemen
have taken the liberty to call on these
Young ladies on several occasions, and
7 the Young ladies thinking that. etiquette
demanded that they should return their
calls, they proceeded to do so one day
last week. But, as the sequel will show,
they had selected very inauspicious Oc-
casion to make their visit. 1t, being a
very warm day, the young gentleman
thought they would battle in the lake.
Consequently they disrobed, and We're
proceeding to enjoy themselves to the
fullest extent, when one of the boys es-
pied their visitors approaching in the dis
lance, but too late to think of preparing
to receive them, and with one accord
they started for their tent, leaving their
clothes upon the bank. The young ladies
came up and were not little surprised
at the cool reception they met with. FIJI
nally they discovered the clothing upon
the bank, and coming to the conclusion
that the young gentlemen they had
come to call upon had been in bathing
and had all been drowned, they were,
consulting whether it wonld be best 10

me to express my deep and heartfelt re-
greet that we are unable to entertain you
