Professor Henry's statue.

The 10Th of April has been finally decided
upon as the day on which the bronze statue
of the late Professor Henry shall be un-
veiled. The statue, it is not generally
known, is now in the Smithsonian Institu-
tion, but its exact whereaboutsis is q mystery
to every one except Professor Baird and a
few officials. The time was selected be-
cause of the session of the National Acad-
emy of Sciences in this city on that date.
The site has also been selected and the
statue will stand in the centre
of the broad lawn across the roadway at the
northwest corner of the Institution. The
Grafton will be delivered by Professor Noah
Porter, president of Yale College.
The statue was authorized by Congress
on the 1st of June, 1880, and an appropria-
tion of 1000 was made for the work. The
artist selected was Mr.. w. w. Story, we'll
known in this city, and the work was exc
cuted by him in Rome. The statue was
modelled from number of photographs and
also from q cast of the face and bust, exc
cuted by the late Clark Mills, while s.
Maclean, of Princeton, furnished an aca-
demic gown similar to the one used by
Professor Henry when member of the
faculty of Princeton College. The pedestal,
which has also arrived, but is not yet un-
boxed was cut from n design prepared by
Mr. Story. The die is of polished red beach
granite and the remainder of fine.axed
Quincy gray granite. The pedestal cost
nearly $1,000.
