MEeASebS eAO Scu1PgOFs The Boston Herald prints an extended sketch of T. H. Bartlett, the sculptor, form erly of this city, in which it is noted that he made his first bust in Waterbury, Conn, in 1863, and four years later was sent to Rome by Mr. David Clark, of Hartford, with a com mission for 8 monumental figure of colossal size. In 1870 he made, says the Herald, ''the statue of Dr. Horace Wells, the discoverer of the anesthetic properties of nitrous oxide gas, for the city of Hartford, one of the best statues in this country, but shamefully and barbarously placed on hideous wooden ped estal that gives it the appearance of a quack medicine advertisement D
 The following is given concerning his son
 His son, Paul Bartlett, is lad of great prom lse. He is fifteen years old, and has been liv- ing for several years with his mother and grandmother, near Paris. He showed no particular inclination for art until he was twelve years old, but lived happy boy life, apt in his studies and devoted to his pet ami. mals His father believed in allowing him the full vent of his own individuality. and left him to develop in his own way He 1howed particular talent for language, and became SO proficient in Latin that he could talk it fuently, as well as read and write it. One day he came to his fathers studio and said he would like to model something So he begansmod odeling his doves, rabbits and other animals, making rapid progress, until early this last spring, when he attempted his first head. He started a bust of his grandmother, an old lady, and when 1t was well along he asked Fremies, who is near naighbor of the family, to Hook at it. Fremiet was highly pleased with it, and from time to time after that gave the lad some practical hints in the principles of sculpture As the time for the salon approached, Master Paul took the bust under his arm and went into Paris with it, leaving it with the thousands of other works for the auction of the august jury. At last one day, telegram was received: Accept ed, with the felicitations of the jury" On .varnishing day. Paul Bartlett was among the crowd of artists at the salon, and was in- troduced to them as .sthe- youngest sculptor who exhibited in the salou.s'
