VI. Ii. Mosman, OF the Amos company,
Lhic0pee, has Just finished 4 study model
three teet high of the $40, 600 equestrian
statue OF Gen. K. Il. Lee. which is to be
erected at Richmond, Va, ard will DC
exhibited there by the artist the first ten
days in November. The statue Itself Is
OF bronze, and the pedestal and steps OF
granite colored wood to represent stone,
instead OF the usual wax or plaster mod
81. From a series of steps whose grand
site is % by Is feet, rises platform hold
ing the pedestal proper, IN oblong
square with scmi-circular probes
tons Oil the shorter sides. The
base rises in this form without other or.
nalnents than holdings cut in the granite
to the bottom OF the die. The straight
part OF the dies sides are nine loot
square granite block paneled for bronze
relcis. The circular parts are iluted
column sections cut lOngitudinally. A
band around the colunnar parts, between
base and cOrnice. is covered with armor
and insignia of the middle ages. Above
| this die is u cOInice with a running Gree
ian ornament in bronze, besides granite
holdings, and the whole pedestal is Sc
cured by 10 by % feet stone. about
which aud just beneath the statue is IN
honor chaplct in continuous garland OF
laurel leaves. One of the panels of the
die shows mausoleum with o medals
lion portrait on Its face OF Lee,
which woman figure representing the
country embraces ih expressing griel at
the loss OF her son. while Virginia brings
wreath immOrtclles in Difference to his
virtues. The state coat OF arms, with
shield embellished with Lees titles is in
rcliei on the back OF the die. Above the
p high pedestal is the III feet equestrian
statue of Gen. Lee. The horse Is of high
blood and spirit. and, while showing
considerable action, has none of the
strained theatrical effect sometimes seen
in such works. The rider represents
Gen. Lee in his uniform, field glass in
hand, and the expression of both horse
and rider is OF expectation, as though
anxiOusly awaiting the result OF some
order upon which the fate OF bate
might depend.

Intermittent Fever

Is so common in the country as scarcely
to need comment. The causes which
produce it are such as cold, irregular
living, over exertion, low spirits, night
air, exposure to miasmatic exhalatlons,
&c. In large cities where edge tools
and agricultural implements are manu-
featured, the grinder protects his lungs
from the injurious effects of the dust
flying of the grindstone by wearing a
respirator, The coal miner ere |. &c.

Now it Is equally necessary 10, those
who are brought in contact with any of
the causes leading to intermittent fever,
to provide themselves with that well
known and highly esteemed remedy
against 1t, the home stomach bltters.

THINKS CONGRESS SHOULD PASS
AN ARMY BILL AT ONCE.
Cannot Get AlOug with Present Force
of the Army.

NEW YORK, November 2. General Sherman il
reported as saying.
No recruiting since June. NY last report shows
the whole American army being enlisted men OF
every kind in every branch numbered 22,33l.
there are large number of enlisted men who
do not carry muskets. AT General Sheridan
headquarters and at all headquarters in the army,
soldiers are detailed for clerks. The, are better
disciplined and they save great deal of money
to the government.
There are very few soldiers in the South and
as there Is peace everywhere, only two regiments
10 the whole Southern States, not more than six
huBdred men, and they are employ ed IN guarding
the puollc property, Congress ought TO pass an
army oil al once without AN legislation. The
army needs the money, aud nothing should be
added to the Appropriation bill that can occasion
debate.
While was before the appropriation committee
was asked II | could not get along with the
pIese INT force of the army, answered unhesi,st-
lngly, mo, The fact is we are not getting on at
all. The safety of.the people, the safety oil the

that may any day involve us in n war with Mexi
co. Nothing but the jldicious conduct of the
army Officers there can prevent war. Many iu-
haotsnts along the border want war, but 1t is not
this time with Mexico.
The regiments ought TO be recruited TO full
standard, so that we might have effective men in
exposed positions.

The General said the money spent for trans
