1t is quite o common thing TO read about
women acting as models for sculptors and
painters. In tact, noyelists harp upon the
idea and invariably make the heroine tho
victim of some long haired genius, who
wears a velvet coat and sketches with light
ning-like rapidIty But whoever heard OF
a man posing for such purpose? There
is no doubt that they do pose, and
that some OF them are as vain as pea
cocks, but still fctiOn-writers don't
take to the idea much. NeVerthe-
less, there is man In this town
and. what is more, a very modest man, who
has had ms picture in an art studlo. and
had the lines of his stalwaIt figure care
fully studied by sulptOr's pTactlced eye
That man is Captain Edwin j. Bosher, q
former commandant OF the Richmond
HowitZers, and, what is more. the sculptor
who used the photographs OF his physique
was Sir Moses Ezekiel, a VIrginIan. who has
recently achieved much celebrity IN Rome,
Italy. When the Confederate Sailors and
Soldiers Monument Association hrst con-
ceiVed the idea Of erecting memorial 20
the heroes who lost their lives for the
Lost Cause they determined 10 nave
an immense column, surmounted by the
bronze statue of private soldier. AS
Captain Bosher is q man of splendid figure
he was requested TO have himself photo
graphed in O Confederate uniform, so that
his picture might be used as q model
tor the artist. He consented 10 do
this and was photographed in seye.
raj different positions SO that Ezekiel
could have an exact idea of perfect man.
1t was from these models that the sculptor
made all his figures, but somehow the com.
mittee and Ezekiel could never agree upon
the exact terms regarding the statue, and
recently it was decided to discontinue the
correspondence and place the work in
other hands. Whether Captain Bosher
will still be used as the models Il question
l cannot answer, but, at any rate, If the
public want a good. stalwaTt Confederate,
he's the fellow to fill the bill.

THE wicked heeth when no man pur-
sueth"; but sometimes their very flight
attracts suspicion. There is a young man
in this town-a very nice young man-who
went TO the big chlcken-fght in the West
End; but as roosters have been numbering
each other ever since the world begun he
did not think it necessary to mention the
matter to his better half. In fact, the cock
ing main. according to my young friends
idea, was such trifing affair that he even
deemed it best on the following day not to
wear the same shoes which had adorned
his feet on the night of the mighty galli-
naceous contest. It might be stated pa
renthetlcally that these shoes were quite
muddy and clearly indicated that
their owner had been in the su-
burbs, or to express it more antique
ly, "at the gates Of tho city," When
the good wife saw the DISPATCH in the

Its Utilization at Funeral and q Birth
I'm Europe.
The somewhat pathetic fact that q
bag of Brazilian earth should have been
placed in the coffin beside the corpse of
Dom Pedro may serve to recall to mind
a somewhat analogous incident which
occurred at the time cf the birth of
his grandson, the eldest son of Crown
Princess isabella and her husband,
Prince CASTOR. of Orleans. Count d'Eu,
says the New York Recorder. The i,n-
pcrial couple il question were married
many years before Che princess had any
prospects of becoming n moth and
when finally it was officially cn-
nnounccd that she had hopes of present
ing the nation with IN heir to tho
throne the news yyns hailed with much
popular rejoicing. Unfortunately the
princess happened to bc travelling in
Europe at tho time when this announce
mcnt was made, and her physicians in
sisted that under no circumstances
must she undertake the return Journey
to Brazil until after the birth of her
child. The advice placed the imperial
family in 4 somewhat dii.icult prctica-
Elcnt, for according to the terms Of the
national constitution it was indispen-
sable that the Ecir to tho throne should
be born on brazilian Goil. Indeed, were
he to make lis debut in the world on
foreign territory it would according to
the legal experts, constitute Cuflcicnt
ground for raising the question as to
the validity of the child's rights to the
crown. After much dclibcr.tiou and
discussion the following ingenious solu-
ton of the difficulty Was determined
upon: A couple of sacI;fuls of earth
were brought from Rio dc Janciro and
strcwn across the threshold of the
brazilian legation Ct Paris. and n faw
hours before the birth CT TIC child tho
princess was conveyed thithcr and to
on apartment on tho floor of which q
portion CT the transatlantic soil had
been placed. The young prince,
therefore, was declared 70 have Iccn
born OF brazilian soil, since not only
was there brazilian earth on the
ground. but, moreover, the legation, by
virtue of its cItratcrritorial diplomatic
privileges, was regarded Ca part and
parcel, not Of Paris or France, but of
tho brazilian empire.

Christmas is the happiest time of
the year, after all. For on that day
1892 years ago, there came into this
world child of Heaven our Saviour,
by whom the Pagan world was lead
to embrace the religion of God. 1t is
fit that we should celebrate the day,
that we should drop all business cares
and troubles. and worship Christ. 1t
is fit that our little ones, the coming
rulers of the world, in gazing and adj
lniring the gifts that the mythical
Santa Claus brought them, next Sab

to the cause OF the jubilee, and be told

of the Democratic and subsidized So
called independent press and a few
sore politicians to defeat the re-elec-
ton of Senator Davis. The Repub-
lean members of that legislature
merely have one course to pursue on
the Senatorial fight. They must bow
to the tremendous masses who have
SO spontaneously asked that Senator
Davis shall succeed himself, and any
representative of the Republican stripe
who fails to do this is false to his party,
to his people. And every one of the
twenty-five Republican senators are
expected to cast their votes for the
senior senator. or looked upon in the
light of renegades by the people whose
servants they are. Only one result can
follow what we are sure will not occur
the defeat of Senator Davis. That
result would be a complete downfall
of the Republican party in this State
for in that party have the, people
placed the high trust of returning
Senator Davis, and should that party
by violating their instructions and
pledges, fail to do SO, it would meet
with disastrous political defeat two
years hence. And these senators anC
representatives are expected to attend
the Republican caucus. and there by
viva voce vote. cast their vote for then
party candidate. No excuse for re
manning away from that caucus vii
