Flnxmnn olten uvd to say in jest before

in his prophecy, nfler nil. You see wedlock

Ami's reply may ho easily imagined.
When the bigwigs of the Royal Academy
heard of Klavm.in's return, nnd especially
when they lind nn opportunity ol seeing nnd
nditih ing his noble pnrtrail-statiio of Mans

mining their number. Thn Royal Academy
has alwnys had the art nf " running lo the
help of the sirongesln nnd when mi nrtist
has proved that he enn nchievn n reputation
without the Academy, then is tho Academy
must anxious to " patronize" him. The
Academy, it will he remembered, had given
its gold medal to his unworthy couqreiiior,
I'uglehcart, passing hy his own liir superior
work. He had then felt bitterly vexed, hut
determined thnt tho next time ho modelled
lor lbs Academy it should he ns n master he
would deserve nml he would command their
npplause. I'cr'uips, too, ho had not forgotten
the president's cruel cot when Flaxman told
him ho had married "Yon nre ruined for
life ns nil artist." Well! hn had pot over
both these slights. The wounds had healed
kindly, ninl ho had nn desire to keep alive
the giicvauce. I la allowed his name to he
prop sed in the candidates' list of nssociutes,
and was immediately elected. In the course
of the same year (I7U7) ho exhibited his
monument ol i?ir William Jones, nml several
bns rebels from tho New Testument, which
were greatly nduiircd.

ture. The foreign correspondent of the
True Democrat, writes of her os follows:
Re (ore Miss llosmer left America, she wns
known to ninny through a bust which she
had executed there Hesperus, the evening
slur n bust remarkable, not only tor it fin
ish nnd henuty of form, but fur the expression
nil which it is tilled, the expression ol
Irentiiv repose, drooping tho wenry lids,
bowing the bend nnd slightly parting the full
ins. I bis bust wns modeled nml cut In
marble by herself, without other instruc
tion than that which her own study and ob
servation had afforded her.
goon after ita completion, she left America
fur Rome. Come ti this home nf artists
where particularly to sculptors, every oppor
tunity nf study and improvement is afforded,
with the enrnest purpose or devoting her.icll
to her art, she became the pupil of Mr. (Jib-
son. Ha had seen a daguerreotype of Hes
perus, nnd having conversed with her, gladly
acceded to a plan which she hud desired
without hoping for the possibility of its ac
complishment. By reputation, Mr. Gibnon
is well known, nml it is universally conceded
thnt be excels nil living sculptors in delicacy
nml finish of execution, nnd in his scientific
and praclicnl knowledge qualities nfTurding
opportunities for rapid and certain progress
to one fortunate enough to be a Undent under
Ins guidance.
With his approbation, Min llosmer b-gnn
nt once copying a succession nf lha finest
works ol art. A bust Iroin tho Venus ol
Milo, one of the few great statues belonging
the wnrld nnd lo nil time; the "Torso," nu
exquisite fragment ; the "Genius of the Vat

iiiuuriiful, spiritual face, on which the eye
never wearies of dwelling. Tho execution
nml expression of these copies nru most ad
mirable; even the Uuphl h i lost little of its
spiritual henuty in the re production. In
speaking of Iheui, it was the criticism nf Mr.
Gibson, that they were executed til the broad
est and noblest manner; that, though not
perfect, they could scarcely have been done
more admirably or rapidly.
Miss llosmer is now engaged jpnn an ideal
bust, Daphne, The subject is one Hint ha
been often repealed ; nor can there bo any
great variety in the treatment of n bust; hut
upon the female head, however varied, may
be lavished nil the beauty in the artist's soul.
Daphne is not yet completed, though sufllci
eully so to he most beautiful ; it hi full
feeling, ol refinement mid delicacy, nud
shadowed by n mournful dreaminess, which
would seem to be n liivoiite expression with
the young nrlisl. I nin hnppy to say that this
bust is to be cut in unit lie nnd sent to Amer
ica. It will be interesting fur those who have
the opportunity of doing so, to compare her
tirst work in that country with her first work
in Home.
Il seems superfluous to wish for Miss llos

a
Tht Cherokee Mroeate gives gloomy ac.
count of the financial condition of the Cher
oken Nation, nnd has some gloomier antici
pations of their future fate, unless a reform
takes place in the administration of their
affairs.
The Nation has been indulging in the lux
ury of civilization, n large public, debt. The
Government is supported ny the annuities
which they receive annually fro in the I'nited
Pintcs, under tho provisions of trenties.
These are Insiilleient to meet tlie current
expenses nf the Government, nnd according
ly the debts continue tn increase. It takes
tho form of warrants upon thu treasury, is
sued lo citizens of the Nation ; but in the
course nf Irnde these have passed into the
hniios nf while traders nml merchants with
in tho Slates, in pnymenl for goods. They
oro secured by tho pledged faith of the Cher
okee Treasury ; hut tho only revenues from
which they can tie paid, is t lie nuntiitcs from
tho United Stntcs.
At this fund does not increase, nnd tho debt
dues, The Jlilvarnte foresees bankruptcy when
ever tho creditors press their claims. The
courso which is intimated that they will pur
sue is lo apply to Congress to stop thn an
nuities until these debts nre thereby provided
for. If this bo dona tho Nation will he ut
terly without resources or revenues, anil its
government will stop. Next follows, in ap
prehension nf thn Clierokees, n claim nu the
part of the United States tn extend jurisdic
tion over their country ns a measure of pro
tection, and then a proposal lo buy their
lauds nml remove them further west. If
they will not sell, they will hn m ule, subject
lo tin) nulhnrity nf thn United Slates, nnd fi
nally loose their diameter ns nn independent
tribe they hnve clung tn ao long, and under
so much difficulty. The prospect thus de
scribe I is indeed a pitih'il one for this inter
esting people, which, of nil the North Amer
ican tribes, has shown most progress in tho
arts nnd habits of civilization. We do Pol
believe that the United Suites would dim I
with them so hnrshty ns this writer nppre
bends, even in Ihe event of a failure to pay
their creditors, or thnt their nnnuities will be
withhold, with the result of stopping their
Eovcrumetit. The Government is more likely
we think, in n magnanimous nnd liberal spirit
to give their consent and aid to enable them
to relieve their nfTiirs. It will not take ad
vantage of their necessities lo drive a hard
liar jam with them.
The warning is uttered hy the Cherokee
editor with a view of impressing upon his
countrymen the critical situation of their
nllairs, so that they tuny take tt pi thomselves
to nvert the dangers, nnd lie promises on a
future occasion to furnish a plan by which
the Clierokees can extricate themselves from
their difficulties by their own exertions, con
siting, wn suppose, in the nature of a funding
of the debt, nnd a system of taxation other
improvements of civilized lile which are the
natural appendages ol ucut. .. U. j'ua-
