THE STATUE OF SIBERIAN.
Augustus st. Gaudens Chosen as the
SouIptor-A Successful Career.

augustus st. Gaudens Chosen as the
ScuIptor-A Successful Career.
The commission for the equestrian statue
of the late General Sherman has been given
to Augustus ST. Gaudens. For ten years
St. Gaudens has occupied a front rank
among sculptors. Besides, he was an earn
est admirer of General Sherman in life,
and will doubtless throw his whole heart
and soul into the work. His famous bust
of the dead hero was made after sixty-two
sittings of an hour each. He believes that
he knew and appreciated General Sherman
thoroughly. when / come to make the
statue of him." he said short time ago,
81 feel that it will bring out the best that
is in me, and that will display power that
l have not hitherto shown. It will be the
last equestrian statue shall ever make"
St. Gaudens was born in Dublin forty
two years ago, his father being French
man and his mother an Irish woman He
came to America with his parents when
but six weeks old. The family was very
poor, and st. Gaudens underwent many
hardships in his younger days. At the age
of thirteen he was apprenticed to cameo
cutter, and began to study art at the New
York Cooper institute in the evenings.
When nineteen his father, who had saved
hard for the purpose, sent him abroad to
perfect himself in cameo cutting. Young
St. Gaudens decided to become an artist,
however, and entered the atelier of Jouf
fray at Paris. In order to support himself
he worked half a day at cameo cutting,
and devoted the other half, as well as his
evenings, to modelling.
He went to Rome upon the breaking out
0f no Etr-oy, I,r1S a
studio, still maintaining himself by cameo
cutting. His first work was nude Hia-
watha This caught the eye of Montgom-
cry Gibbs, rich American, who ordered
the figure cast in plaster. Through the in
fiuence of Mr.. Gibbs the young sculptor
received a commission to make a bust of
William NJ. Evarts, who was at Geneva as
member Of the arbitration commission.

About this time Ex-Governor Morgan, of
New York, saw the Hiawatha, and was so
struck with its graces that he ordered it
cut in marble. Ex-Governor Morgan
proved one of ST. Gaudens' warnest
friends. 1t was owing to his efforts that
the artist received the commission for the
statue of Farragut which stands in Madi-
son square, New York. This monument,
which is regarded as one of the finest and
most artistic in the world, made young
St. Gaudens famous.
His other great works are the bronze
statue of Lincoln in Lincoln park, Chi
cago, and ''The Puritan, P" in commemora-
ton Of Deacon Chaplin, the founder of
Springfield, Mass. His last work was re-
Gently unveiled in Rock Creek cemetery,
Washington. 1t is called ''Nirvana," and
is draped figure in absolute repose, and
with face of singular sweetness, nobility
and strength.

Christmas Pardons Ordered.

ognition.
The daily army orders show that as Christ
mas approaches the number of sentences re-
mtted in the cases of private soldiers increases.
This action by the War Department is i'll pur-
suance of the policy adopted by Secretary
Proctor and which met the warm approval of
President Harrison, in holding out to private
soldiers the hope of pardon or remission Of 4
part of the sentence, when the soldier, by good
conduct deserved it.
1t has had the effect of reducing the number
of soldiers punished and raising the moral
standing of the army.
Tie granting of many remissions of sem
fences as Christmas gifts is regarded as es-
pccialIy graceful.

Gains Of the Early n orning Wiped Out by

New York, Dec. 1s.--Ihe dealings in the

determined struggle between the two specula-

and the transactions in the leading speculative
stocks. including Erie, St Paul, Atchison,

run up to very large figures during the
first half hour, while the rest OF the list pursued
the even tenor of it's way without special ex-
citement or movement The opening prices

better than last evenings figures and the
tendency as shown during the great activity
was undoubtedly upward, though only in
cotton oil, which was also specially active,
was there anything like a marked movement,
its gain being u Per cent. Gains OF u per
cent in Reading and Atchison and smaller
fractions among the others attested the con-
timed strength of the market despite the
heavy pressure brought to bear. With the
Stacking of of the early gains, however. there
was the usual shading of quotations in the
late dealings, but further feature was lacking
among the leading shares. Among the inactive
stocks St Paul and Duluth was conspicuous
with rise Of per cent, but the others moved
within tue the usual narrow limits. The mar
ket at II O'Clock was still active and rather I'M
