AUTHORS OF THE WORK.
The fact is slowly dawning upon the peo-
pie of this city and State that this monu-
ment, when completed. will be unexcelled
in point of art and impressive beauty.
This fact will. in the course of
q short time, be fully realized,
and then admiration will revert,
to certain extent, 20 its creator. or Gre
ators, or to that man. or those men. whose
souls were SO much concerned that they
would have nothing but the faithful en-
1odiment of an ideal. which should bring
fame to the State through ages to come

own hands. for ne claims to be
neither an artist nor sculptor, but he has

he has deduced representation that will
be subject OF State pride in ages to come.
1t has been the intention from the first that
the American idea should prevail in the
monument, and that no artist who did not

THE ARMLESS PAINTER.

There is an armless man living In
Antwerp who paints. using his toes,
and who is above the average as a
copyist. This is an old story, but it is
always new and interesting to watch
his skillfui play Of foot In the gal
lery he is as much of a show as the
pictures His perfect Indifference to
surroundings and disregard of the
number of eyes focused on him leads
an observer to regard him as a
machine and to forget that he Is d
creature of flesh and blood and soul.
But one woman saw deeper, says
the Newport News. She was sitting
near when letter was handed to the
artist.
He took it in one foot, and dexter
Gus toe of the other slit a side of the
envelope open.
The letter came out and was read,
with a visibly falling face and dis
tresssd look. The armless man evil
IDENTIFY had bad news. He refolded
the sheet, toe gliding along the edges
creasing them exactly as you use your
thumb when in meditative mood.
Then the foot came up to the breast
pocket and tucked the letter in. This
was all done 50 easily that it seemed
impossible these feet We're not hands,
but when a foot flew up to the face
and with the back of the big toe
brushed tear from the armless mans
eye. then, indeed. he ceased TO be a
machine. His sorrow seemed deeper
than other mems sorrow.
He rose, slipped his feet into low
shoes, and went sadly out.

THE CHILD'S PROTEST.

Joseph Haworth, the actor, tells a
story of a little girl who was very
curious to know all about thunder
storms, and was told by her mother
that they were the voice Of God. A
few days later the child was caught
out in thunderstorm and called by
her mother to come in. Her little legs
came toddling up to the piazza as fast
as they could, but as she reached the
steps there came a terrific clap OF
thunder. and the little one looking up,
said, with a panied expression on her
face: ooh, bod, 90 needn't holler SO
loud: Use hu1ryin dest as fast as L

Once upon a time. in great house

lived little girl. She was named
Julia. after her lovely young mother,
but as She grew she showed no resem-
blance to that mother with her great
dark eyes and wealth of black ring
lets. This little girl had red hair, and
that was very dreadful thing in those
DAYS. Very fine. soft hair it was,
thick and wayy, butt was red. Wis
itors. coming to see her mother, would
shake their heads and say, Poor little
Julia, what pity she has red hair"
and the tender mother would sigh.
and rcgret that her child should have
this misfortune, when there was no
red hair in the family 50 far as one
knew And the beautiful hair was
combcl with lcaden comb. As one old
lady said that would turn it dark, and
it was soaked in honey-water, az an
other old lady said that was really the
best thing YOU could do with it; and
the little Julia felt that she might al
most as well be a hunchback or Grip

beautiful mother died; and after that

A SINGULAR LooK.-A singular dis

a side door of a room in Dulevey's

about sixty years old. Its antecedents
