| All this hullaballOo, jingOism and rOwdyism
| in Congress by violent men with violent pas
sions entirely void of self control should force
| the American people to call a halt and ask
| in Heavens name il we are to be controlled,
ruled and ruined by men who cannot control

our young men to be dabbled in by political
tricksters for political ends. Who will pay
for this war? Not the property owner by

away. Seward, who had as much brains as

4 FAITHFUL LIKENESS,

The pose is admirable. Standing i'm
medately in front one obtains a shade
more than q three-quarter view. The
head is tilted backward, giving the face
that thoughtful, firm, yet kindly look
that suggested the individuality OF the
man, The expression grows upon you.
There is dignity, manhood, power in
every line about the eye aid forehead.
The mouth is full Of character, and
every muscle of the face brings out
some delicate suggestion that helps to
impress one with the accurate and
faithful way in which the work has
been done. The detail is beautifully
worked out. Not faint line is over
looked which could add to the per-
lection that the sculptor achieved. II
is faithful portrayal Of the man.
It is understood that Mr.. Valentine
considers this one Of his best efforts
The few who have seen it have pro.
nounced it the Of the finest specimens
of sculpture yet done by him. Pro-
iessor II. st. George Tucker was in
the city on Wednesday to see the bust.
He was much pleased with it, and so
expressed himself. TIE other mem.
bers Of the family are delighted with
lit.
1t was photographed by HOMER &
Clark en- Wednesday. The Confed-
crate Memorial Literary Society has
asked permission to have the bust, when
completed, placed in the Confederate
Museum, to remain there until the
Memorial Hall in Lexington, for which
it was made, is ready to receive it.

SPLENDIDBUST OFMR. TUCKER

Richmond Times.
The bust OF the late lamented Hon.
John Randolph Tucker, which will be
placed in the Tucker Memorial Hall at
Washington and Lee University, in
Lexington, Va, was cast Thursday at
the studio Of the we'll known sculptor,
Mr.. Edward V. VALENTINO, No 800 east
Leigh street. During the casting there
were present only two or three friends
Of the sculptor, who had asked the
privilege of witnessing the process
This was entirely successful and the
last step before the completion of the
| work, which was naturally a source Of
some little anxiety to Mr.. Valentine
himself, left only the mechanical part
to be done before the bust will be
ready to send to Lexington, whenever
the hall which it is to adorn is prepared
to receive it.
Not until day or two ago was it
known that Mir. Valentine was at work
on such bust. With his Characters
tic retired and unassuming manner the
sculptor had mentioned the fact to few
people, but worked on quietly and stu
diously towards the perfection of one
Of the most beautiful specimens of his
art yet made by Mr.. Valentine.
THE scULproR's INSPIRATION
For several weeks he has been at
work on the bust. He was q personal
and intimate friend of the distinguish
ed lawyer. He had studied the man
ners, tie tastes the feelings, and, in
large measure, the thoughts of Mr.
Tucker. His admiration for the man
himself, as well as the magnificent
mental sttainments and intellectual
strength that gave him a conspicuous
place in the front ranks of American
craftsmanship and oratory, and SCUM
del his name familiarly among men,
bers of the American bar, was broad
and sincere. He had listened for hours
at the conversation of the great Vir-
ginian, and his interest at times grew
intense.
With such personal relations between
the two men it was natural that the
sculptor should have gained q certain
additional inspiration beyond that
which true artist feels in his work
solely from the fact that the results Of
his labcrs when approaching the higher
motives he has held before him COM
bine to make some contribution to the
great field of art.
The influence Of the able jurist up
on the sculptor is brought out in no
small measure in the work as it stands
"A speaking image OF the original In
the bust there is the same strength Of
the same force of expression,
which marked the man himself. Intel
lect, life, mental effort, are all discerni-
BILE.
