The large proportion of officers the list contains can hardly fail to be noticed by all. sounded the other is raised toward the ear, as she stands with head erect, in an attitude of intense listening for the reuu of her notes echoed from some opposing The figure wonderlully delicate and feminine, and the pose as unsurpassubiy giiicel'ul, light and airy iih an 'echo' should be.

THE BATTLE STORY.

But the artist is now chiefly engaged in modeling his first group. It is nearly completed in clay, and we see at once that it is The Battle Htory. A warworn soldier, seated, with a young sister upon his knee, is depicting to her the horrors, and relating to her the stirring incidents of a battle. Nothing, surely, could be more striking than the expression of nervous exhaustion and dignified mental distress developed 'in the figure of the soldier. With tody leaning forward in intense emotional action, and eyes cast toward the ground, which, however, they evidently do not see, he appears to behold again the field of blood, while the position of his extended gaunt, right hand and arm, in harmony with the emaciated, care-worn and sorrowful face, conveys a touching idea of the anguish tugging at his heart, as with mental vision he.

reviews the fearful scene, and witnesses once more the sufferings of his loved comrades on the fatal field. Thelittle fin year old sUter ia equally expressive of still other emotions. Withne hand thrown trustingly upon the brother's shoulder, arid the other pressed convulsively upon her throbbing heart, she seems to shrink from the dread picture which he ia sketching, her innocent child's face turning to him, meanwhile, with a mingled look of curiosity, surprised interest, and tender tone and pity to wnich the artist's chisel has done more justice than my pen can hope to render. When this group is finished in marble, the artists admirers may feel assured that it will fully justify the expectations of who knew his 'Ethan executed for the State of Vermont, and which secured for him the friendship and encouragement of so capable a critic as Hon. George P.

Marsh, now United State3 Minister at Turin.

II. White to the The foregoing paragraph recently Appeared in tho Vermont Record. Possibly the statement may bo true, but tho writer of this article would rather not rouoh for the truth of it, unless with a light transposition of tho words.

Appreciators of genius and art, everywhere, are watching the career of Vermont's young sculptor, Mead, with far more than ordinary interest, and what ever relates to him or his' ivorks is read, by Vermonter's especially, with the keenest avidity. In a late number of the New York Times we find tho following written by the Paris correspondent of that journal MEAD AND IIIS "ECHO." G.

Meade, of Vermont, whose snow figure ot tho "Recording Angel" attracted so much attention even before he had settled upon Art as his profession, and which won him the anonymous encouragement and patronage of the late Nicholas Longwoith of Cincinnati, opened a studio in Florence a few months ago. Young, modest and retiring, his achievements are, nevertheless, winning for him an abundant crop of good opinion, to say nothing of the more substantial evidences of popular favor which are beginning his ambitious steps.
