[" tw one Wh YEAR\u2014NO.184 MODEL FOR THE NATIONAL) MONUMENT TO JACQUES CARTIER, BY MARSHALL wot Dp.In the very bewutiful work we are about to criticise, (Or rather describe, for ariticism, save as affecting one or two matters of detail, may be ssid 10 be disarmed), we are desirous in the first place to ackmowledgo the high compliment paid to us \u2018by tKis distinguished sculptor, since the abject chosen, no less tham tho exhaustive and elevated treatment of iL, are conclusive of his belief in our appreciation of the highest style of art.Rising from a quadrangular stepped base, upon which are two podiums, the upper one baving projecting our.ners, and upon whieh there Lowers a beautifully enriched drum pedestal, we see in the firat place » statue of Jacques Cartier, with aa Indian kneel ing on the one side and a squaw on the other.The figure of Jacques Cartier stands with his right band stretched out, as if holding the award of justice, the left band being cles by the Indian, while on the right there appears a taw contemplating a cross, typieal o the introduction of Cbristianity.The attitude of this great discoverer is that of eimple consciogs r, the expression diguifed and noble, and the costume such as we know be worse.It commands st once the attention of the spectator and rules over the whole composition, ' Below this group we come to four seated allegorical figures, ropresonting the four great powers of Canada: Navigation, Commerce, Agriculture and the Fisheries ; and dividing these figures and immediately undorneath them in recessed panels are four Bas Reliefs; the front one representing the Indians when they first perceived the vossel coming up the Bt.Lawrence ; the next, 4o the right, the lauding in Donnoeona\u2019s canoe ; the one at the back, bearing the first sermon; whilst the remaliing fourth depicy the first religions pro- cossion.Hebe the koy.nole of the rogress of Colonization, through the introdtiction of Christianity, is struck at the highest pitch, in the subjects given, and dominates throughout the yo ony, just as the figures go throughout the composition, and fn the interest uf the subject.Asregards style the composition is marked with distinstion and origivality, Mr, \u2018ood, while being as we know eminently an jdealist, and while so treating the four.leading allegorical autjonts, representing the -reall:ies of the Indians as they still linger round 'abeat the deserted homes of their race, he sets thom before us not in the roalism of an imitator, but rathor fo thé eut- lime realisagion of the poet, fullowing the great masters of bygone timus in strict obediunce to the inevitable principles of Arte The consequence is that the design is grand, the forma are noble, the tomposition pap, bril- lisut snd harmbnious, while in expres\u2019 sion the whole story is told in x manner most emphatic and imposing.This important quality bi tontrast ss between the ides! treatment of the four figures, and the reality of the identification of the ledians in the Bag Relievge, Without anything in the way of exaggeration of effvet so often resorted to, gives immense value, and when this monument ww erected full appart quality will be even more Apparent.; Jv.wamld seein as imperiinience be- feke the great work of a soulptor:20 ndiy and peverently Tp poised with bieaubject, taeflur any suggestion with to a style, difference of treatinent bero and there, and it is in fact only in one or two Tid matters that we should venture upon offering ADY.The subject ie one that bas afforded the sculptor she fullest scope and Tantage of his art in pourtraying the beauties of emption, pathos, and Christian onlighwnmept., How this has been done, however, can only be adequately fult in presence of the model, and we copd tr urge ali our readers to go to the Parlisment House and see it for themselves.x fool ero beaut ifn) werk w received with acclamation, and that every Ondidinn, bots Faench and English, will give his mite towards æaking it a National Monutent( pepe swe reported that tbe Recslohélhavebeen repulse By tho Chinesh.\"THR OANADIAN CLUB IN CHICAGO.= Au laut; the Canadians resident in Ohiçago have organized an association of anutional cbarscter.I¢has long been & source of wonder to visiting Canadians that, » ith 15,000 Canadians in this city, there Was not one point at which they could gather to renew old memories aud discuss ourrent events.~ The young Cunmhan arrivin, in this city has been in & worse position than the immigrant of any other nationality, Thero was, indeed, no one to whom he could go and claim sssivtance and advice an a follow.patriot.Ali this is Lo be changed.he club has elected the following officers : \u2014 President William B.Sullivan Vico-Presidents, B, Giroux, senior, a leading roprescotative of the French.Canadian clement, and Dr, M.D.Ogden ; Bucretary, Joseph LeBœuf, and assistsnt.sscrotary, Dr.Montgom ory Jones ; Tressurer, W.F.Person ; and an executive committee cobsisting ot C.R.Brooke, R.B Davis, Donald Moodie, J.D.Ligure, Dr.E J.Ogden, Nuthan T.Fitch and Charles W.Cooper.The plans of the Society have not yet been fully decided upon, but it is probable that a club room may be opened at some down town location.A number of the members are today delabrating the Queen's birthday in an pppropriste \"manner.The visit of rine Leopold to Chicago will be mado the occasion of a formal assembly of the clad, to pay the respects of its members to that estimable Prince.Another development of the strong clansbip of vbe Scotch residents here is in the formation and oquipment uf a Sootch company in the State militis.The Jude are all provided with kilts and the company bas its bagpipes.The Captain ie James McGregor, a well-known Boowchman.\u2014 Times.PARISIAN OPINIONS ON THE LATE EMPRESS.The Empress of Russia's death was noticed by obituary articles in mont of the Parise jouroals.They were written in a kindly spirit.The Cearina's dominant virtuss were charity and soif-denial.She was an unloved daughter, laving wifo and mother, n sincore and constant friend ; but latterly her condition threw her into a superati- tious priest's hands, and her sedentary habits developed a gloomy tendency, and she deeply took to heart the Cear\u2019s Intterdiny passion for the Princess Dulgurouki.Anny Saavice\u2014 The Boitish Military Commission strongly recommended the abolititn of the short service system, and.auguett sn extension of the time of service from six to nine yours.arm re The remains of the Empress were romoved to the Petropaulorsk fortress yosiorday, An immense grawd wit nessed the procession, which consisted of various military detachments, court officials, standard-bearers, clorgy, de- putatious of or orders of knighthood and charitable \u2018and other socistivs.The Ewperor and Graud Dukes followed the hoarse on borssback.tet fr rte a A Empuy Pargixd Tuotour.\u2014 Shortly, before leaving Niagars Falls, Her Royal Highness Princess Louise enquired after the man who bad recently fallen over the cliff; she was alse desirous of seeing bim, but it was thought advisable not to disturb the sufferer who Wan algoping, eo Her Royal Highness was fin to content herself with scnding & message of sympathy to bim.The Hanlan-Trickett articlos were daly signed Saturday.The race takes pince on the fifwenth of November on the Thamos, from Putney to Mortiake, for two hundred pounds a side, the champiouship of the world, aud the Sportamen trophy.Col.Shaw bas ted fi ty pound: on bebalf of Hanlun srpthing bea beon amicably areang.ed 19 the satisfaction of all parties.(ireat interest is folt in the match.Madgebo b sexton caoglit a little gi piety a Bower In the ceme- tary recently and thrust her into the dead-house \u201cwith four corpees.He !
