Achieving Distinction.

The young sculptor, Paul W. Bartlett, is winning recognition as evineing very supe- rior ability in his chosen profession. The young man is the son of the gifted Trueman H. Bartlett, of Boston, who began his chosen life here in New Haven and has since achieved a high place among American sculptors. The Magazine of Art, 1884, thus speaks of young MT. Bartlett's latest work:
 There is at present on exhibition at the rooms of MT. J. Eastman Chase, Boston, statuette of tolerably large size by Paul W. Bartlett, the talented twenty-year-old son of the well known sculptor, Trueman H. Bart lett. It's subject is John Brown the hero of Harper's Ferry, who is represented standing, bareheaded, with trousers tucked into his boots, and generally in the rough costume that he may have worn while fighting the border ruffians of Kansas. The right leg is moved forward and slightly bent inward, the hands are clasped upon the back, and hold book probably the Bible. There is much energy in the figure; it stands well, and the position described allows of disposition of lines which, slightly as it differs from that of other modern standing figures, makes it very pleasant to the eye, although it repre- sents John Brown the thinker, rather than the fighter. The young artist is sincerely to be congratulated upon his achievement, which, we trust, gives us only foretaste of the good work he is to do. One cannot, however, repress feeling of sadness in looking upon this statuette. Here once more is young artist who appears before his countrymen with a work speaking of ambition and thought The young sculptor does not rest satisfied with showing us how cleverly he can work clay from model before him. He has taken up subject which fired his i'm agination, embodies, we may suppose, his convictions, and ought to be dear to great many at least to those to whom he appeals. The question is, Have his countrymen any need of him? Do they want anyone to give shape to their imagination and to body forth their convic- tions? Or will they rest contented with ap- plauding the cleverness of the artist, and leave him ever after to shift for himself or at the best keep him employed on private busts and unmeaning trifess That remains ter, of ladies, evidently artists, by the same hand and exhibited at the same place, are as delicate as the John Brown is strong.

A Home Enterprfse.

Attention is called to the ad vertisement in another column of the first divide nd of the Fort Baseom Cattle Raising company.
 This company was started some months since by enterprising gentlemen of this city, who saw the profits to be realized by raising beef cattle in the far West. They purchased upward of fifty thous and acres of fine graz ing land in San Miguel county, New Mexico, which the company now holds in fee simple, and stocked it with nearly five thousand head of cattle ''as 8 starter" Since then the herd has increased to such an extent that after selling steers enough to pay the dividend the company has more stock on hand than when it commenced business.
 The company proposes to pay quarterly dividends, and as it's affairs are under the management of gentlemen who for years have been largely interested in raising beef cattle, there is no reason to doubt it's success. Its future without doubt will be prosperous one.
 As a New Haven enterprise and as tribute to the energy of our business men we wish the company God speed and successful fut
