The Guiding Hand.

The unfortunate drowning Of Mr.. Garrett,
Of Baltimore, seems to have been an mex
cusable accident The pilot of the Joppa,
tie steamer with which Mr.. CARROTS yacht
cullidcd, says the vessels discovered each
other when mile apart, and that the Gus
tomary signals were given by each, No
fog was intervening, the night was clear
aud the waterway was ample and yet the
collision took place. We say therefore, it
was mcXcusable. Somebody made a great
llmdcr, or those two vessels would not
Lave been in l5O yards Of one another. Just
whore the blame lies We do not pretend to
say; that, we presume, Will De fixed by an
Investigation, The point to be made, and
HE Lesson to he learned, Is that every yes-
sci on the seas and every railroad train on
Tie land is under the guidance of some one
Land upon whom their safety depends
However perfect the machinery Of loco
rotou may be, however perfect
ne system Of signals for stopping, starting,
or Passing may be, there Is human intclli-
ycnce after all that gives direction to every
Ming, and upon which all the responsible
ily rests in the moment Of danger.

The Republican party in Virginia should,
as far as possible, arrange the existing differ
ouccs before the meeting of the Republican
convention at Chicago. There is no reason
why this cannot he done If the contesting
parties approach each other in a spirit of
concession andhamony. 1t seems practlca-
lle for sensible men, such as are leaders upon
10th sides in this split, to agree upon some
fasis Of settlement that would unite the dis.
cordant elements and result in harmony and
assured victory.

Houdon.
Wilson Macdonald, the New York sculptor,
is IN the city, invited here to exhibit the orig.
inal model of the bust of Washington made
by Jean Antoine Houdon at Mount Vernon in
1885.
II Is well known that the great French
sculptor Houdon was sent by Franklin and
jefferson to America in 1855 and was commits.
stoned by the state of Virginia to execute a
perfect likeness of Washington, the marble of
which Is now In the state house at Richmond,
The sculptor made Il mold over Washing
tons face and neck, which he carried to
France. Houdon made at the same time what
sCulptors call n squeeze In clay In the mold
taken at the time. This clay squeeze he
worked up from life sittings, opened the eyes,

the great book ON the original portraits Of
Washington, copies into her volume Washing

account Of lloudOn's stay at Mount Vernon.
II Is said that competent authority In art
and of the portraits of Washington have pro.
nounced this life cast bust to be the greatest
relic of Washington now eNtant. IL Is SUI
rcriuT In every respect TO the marble statue
likeness at Richmond. The bust is about to
be placed, through the libcrality OF number
of citizens of New York, IN the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in that city. The capital of
the nation is the proper place for this valua-
BILE work II should be purchased by the
government The only really valuable Origi.
nal picture of Washington as likeness Is
the Peale portrait now in the room of the
Vice President in the capitol
The original head of Washington, by Stuart,
is in the Boston Atheneum and Is valued at
$4,000. Marshall, the great engraver, has
pronounced the life cast bust" of lloudon
much more valuable, for the reason that it Is
necessarily more truthful, and also because II
was taken ten years before the Stuart por.
trait, when Washington was in his prime, he
being but 53 years of age. lie was 63 when
stuart painted him. The government should
