Dixie. the muse of the South Of we
may thus apotheosize the endeared ap-
pellation of our sunny land, has found
an embodiment in plastic art, in a me-
dallion, the work of the deft hands of
Mr.. Orion Frazee, of Atlanta, and which
we hope to see soon cut in marble. The
idealization, says the Atlanta Journal,
Is thoroughly consonant with the spirit,
the sentiment, and the thought of the
South. While the idea of luxuriance is
typified only in the richly flowing hair,
bound with roses, accompanied with an
opening magnolia blossom, the express
sion of the face is one rather of patient
endurance and calm reliance than of that
warmth which might be expected in such
an impersonation. But the creation will,
to reflective minds, more truly represent
the newer and more progressive South,
clinging with tender reverence TO the
memories of the past, yet looking onward
and upward, with a supreme aud sub
lime faith, to the better things in store
for her in the brighter days to come.

whelmed by an avalanche of rock and
earth, killing a number Of people and
wounding several others. The Pittsburg
Chronicle telegraph, commenting on
this accident, says For people who
like to speculate in regard to chance, the
accident presents a suggestive topic. If
the train had been second foster it
would have lodged the landslide, or if a
little slower it might have stopped in
time to avoid running into it. The oh
