There is no evidence that be knew anything of the

very hard at his model. and the result shows u
good deal of real capacity that might with right in

feat of balancing bronze horse on lis hind legs
that excited the enthusiasm Of the Congressional
cognoscent and induced them, at the suggestion of
a welleonducted lobby, to order the Washington
foundry at Georgetown, the appliances Of which
were said to show considerable ingenuity. 1T this
foundry he cast the tvo statues mentioned, and
duplicate of the jackson for New Orleans, and also

from Congress an exorbitant compensation. Public
