1E WE KNEW.

If wc knew the baby fingers, pressed
against the window pane,
Would be cold and stiff Tomorrow
never trouble US again
Would the bright eyes Of our darling
catch the frown upon our brow
Would the prints of rosy fingers vex us
then as they do now?
All! those little ice-cold fingers, how
they point our memories back
To- the hasty words and actions strcwn
along our backward track!
How those little hands remind us, rs in
snowy grace they lie, g
Not to scattrr tborns, but roses, for our
reaping BY and by.
Strange we never prize the music till
the sweet-yoiccd bird has down
Strange that we should slight the viO-
lets till the lovely flowers are gone.
Strange the simmer skies and sun
shine never seem onr-half so fair.
AS when winters snowy pinions Shake
the white down in the air!
Lips from which the seal of silence none
but God can roll away,
Never blossomel in sucl, beauty as
adorns the mouth to-day;
AND sweet words that freight our men,
DRY with tfeir beautiful perfume,
Come to us in sweeter accents through
the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbeams lying ali
around our pSth;
Let ms keep the wheat and roses, cast
ing out the thorns aud chat;
Let us find our sweetest comfort in the
blessings of to-day,
With patient hand removing all the
briers from oaf wav.

DESCRIPTION OF THE STATUE TO ri
ERECTED TO THE MEMORY or
GENERAL ROBT.
E. LEE.

ty' """Spo"'o'IouS'S ou'
efectualty, have the committee OF
the Lee Monumental Association
carried to tangible condition the
important trust rcposed in them By
the association, of selecting the
statue which is to grace the splendid
granite column in Lee Circle, at the
intersection of St. Charles avenue
and Delord street:
They correspondent with artists in
the principal cities of the Union, and
finally entered into .contracs with
the Hinsdale Doyle Granate Compa
ny.
This firm sent Alexander DOYLE,
an accomplished artist of New York
to this city to confer with the Com,
mittee referred to, which is compos
ed Of Messrs. Col. f. A. Palfrev,
Chairman, S. II. Ken6edy, I. l..
Lyons, j. C. Morris and Archibald
Mitchell.
Mr.. Doyle arrived here about three
weeks ago, and was given the free
use of the old senate cloak room, in
the former State House, at the cor
ner of St. Louis and Royal streets.
Here he assiduously labored, until
last Wednesday, when he completed.
PERFECT MODEL
in clay of the great Southern chef,
Gen. Robert E. Lee.
The figure stands upon a square
clay slab, pedestal. From the upper
surface Of the pedestal to the crown
Of the noble head the model is pre-
cisely two feet in height.
The figure is sttired in full suit
of a Confederate general. The lower
limbs are incased in neat fitting cav
airy boots. The head is bare and
the face slightly turned to the right,
so as to give a tbree-quarter profile
view. The right arm hangs natu-
rally at the side. The right hand is

are the heavy riding gauntlets and
The SLOUGH hat which were, it is said,
characteristic of the General. The
left hand-gauntlcted-rests upon
his hip, with the 6ngcre spread and
the palm turned outward. Tic
sword hangs easily at the belt; and
the sash seems to have twisted
about until the ends drop down just
over the centre Of the left pocket of
the pantaloons.
The pose is known as the central.
The weight OF the body rests on the
left limb-thc right is slightly aa-

at once impresses the beholder as
graceful aud elegant, and the pose as
natural and easy.
When the model was complete, the
committee was notified and several
gentlemen Of culture visited the
room named. Among these were
General Jubal A. Early, Colonel E.
A. Palfrey, Captain Archibald Nit

A DEFERRED WEDDlNG.-From q
Natchitoches letter Of the 23d to the
New Orleans Times Democrat, we
make tue following romantic extract
Of wedding deferred owing to the
groom elect failing to put in an ap-
pcarance at the appointed time:
A wedding in high life, which was
to have occurred at Camptc, in this
Parish, on the 18th inst, has been
postponed indefinitely on account Of
the non appearance of the male con-
tractor to the affair. From reliable
parties the following facts were
cleaned:
George Lawrence ::and Miss Prud-
homme are cousins, and they loved,
not as cousins should do, but in the
true old fashioned way, the result
being that they wero engaged to be
married, and last Thursday determi-
ned upon as the happy day.
Arrangements were made for an
elegant supper and music and dan
cling. The priest, the company and
the bride were awaiting anxiously
the arrival of the hero Of the occa i.
sion, but no hero came. He had ia
ken the train at the neighboring sta.
ton with the avowed purpose of go.
ing to France. May be the climate
Of France will agree with him better
than that of Natcbitoches PARISH
Lawrence is rich and bad been very
lavish in-his presents TO the young
lady, having sent her on the day the
wedding was to have occurred dia
monds, silver, etc, to the amount of
$1,000. He give no reason for bis
strange performance.

ciated at one time in Virginia as 4
committee man in the delicate task
of selecting model for statue of
Gen. r. f. Lee to be erected in that
State. At the exhibition Of the
models Efeen artists competed for
the honors.
f. The committee were not deeply
impressed by the fai.hfuIness Of
fou: teen Of the models examined by
them, and they were almost in dcs-
pair. But one mo'lel remained to be
un: ei'ed. At last fhe veil was lifted
and the work orart exhibited. At
once General Early exclaimed. "Ah,
hat is likeness of General Lccw
A neat lady stepped to his side from
Il group of eople who were standing
near, and said, General, thank you
for saying that.
"Wny do you thank me?" asked
the General.
"Bccause,' sail the lady, "that is
my model. My name is Minnie
Rcam."
The General con, 'lers the model
made BY Mr.. Doyle fully equal to the
work Of Miss Rcam.
The model has been accepted by
the committee. 1t will be shipped
away from this city and a bronze
statue made from it.
The material of which the statue
will be composed, as agreed upon,
will be eighty-six per cent. of copper
and fourteen per cent. of tin-stan-
Lard quantity.
II is also to he delivered on the
lcvee, in this city, in eight months,
when tho association for which it is
t" be made will pay the contractors
$4,000 in cash. When it IS firmly
and permanently located on the COL
umn, where il will stand for ages.
$250O more will be paid, and at the
end Of one year thereafter $2jOO-or
The last paymcnt,,will be made and
the terms of the contract fully COM
piled with.
Mr.. Alexander Doyle, the sculp-
tor, is young man-comparatively.
He is not more than 30 years. He
has passed thsGugh all the stages of
apprenticeship and study in Che la
Dor of acquiring a thorough knowl.
edge of his high and noble profes.
sion. He studied for seven years in
the city of Florence, Italy, and in
the Carara Marble Mines. He will
soon submit to committee a model
for the monument Of Margaret
Haughc'y.- States.

Pacific represent the receipts of eleven
different lines, whose aggregate mileage is
over $500, and which are operated by it.
The paid up capital stock of these eleven
corporations in 1878 was about Sil0, 600.
600, instead of S54. 000, coo, as stated in
the Eraminer. Instead Of the dividends
being at the rate of IL per cent, there.
fore, they are at the rate of 81 per
cent, which is by no means the
highest showing of any enterprise in
the United States. The practice of lump
ing all OF the earnings of the whole of the
branch lines operated by the Central Pa.
cite, and then ascertsining the percentage
OF profit by ignoring the capital stock of
all those corporations, may perhaps be re-
garded as ingenious by political partisan
journalists, but it is not candid or honest.
1t would be as fair to take the $50 miles OF
the Central Pacific as the basis Of an argu.
ment to show that that corporation charged
more per mile than any road in the United
State. By taking the aggregate earnings
of all the roads, and dividing them by the
mileage of the Central Pacific, it would
be made to seem to earn S26, 900 per mile !;
which is enormous. But when the earn
ings are divided by the mileage which really
earns them, the truth appears, namely,
that the earning are about Sc, 900 per mile.
False assertions regarding matters of fact
can never be maintained in the long run,
and therefore tits always mistake to make
them. The Examiner is young in the bust.

RAILROAD PROFITS.

A few days ago the Examiner had an
article on sailroad Profits and Fares. in
which some characteristically wild mis-.
statements sre made, of course with the
deliberate purpose of misleading public
opinion. It Fss alleged that the Central
Pacific Railroad is the best paying prop,
erty in the United States, and this is the
kind of stat ement upon which that asser.
ton was hsed: "The dividends to its
"stockholdta s-four persons only-amount.
"ed to over Sc, 600, 600. on capital stock
of s54.oo4ooo. This was IL per cent.
ION the in %stment, when the banks find
"great diff guilty in loaning money on good
I" security y 6 per cent" Now while the
Central Poetic Railroad undoubtedly is a
very good lying property, the Examiners
fg1res arc far from being correct. The
TACT il thu the earnings Of the Central
