The national Capitol; its architecture, art and history . CCLXXXIV. This admirable workis by the American poet-sculptor, W. YV. Story, and was executed in Rome in1883. On the north side of the base is a basso-rilievo in white marblerepresenting Minerva Dictating the Constitution to Young America; onthe opposite side, Victory Leading Young America to Swear Fidelity at theAltar of the Union. The statue reminds us of the recollections of Cood-rich, who visited the city in the winter of 1819-20: Among the judgeswere Marshall and Story, both of whom riveted my attention. The formerwas now sixty-four years old, and still in the full vigor of his career. He wastall and thin, with a small face, expressive of acuteness and amiability. Hispersonal manner was entirely dignified, yet his brow did not seem to me toindicate the full force of his great abilities and lofty moral qualities. I sawhim many times afterward, and learned to look with reverence upon him, asbeing the best representation of the era and spirit of Washington, whichlingered amongst us.. STORY S MARSHALL THE CAMPUS Greenonghs Statue of Washington.—On the eastern plaza, aboutfive hundred feet from the Capitol, resting upon a low granite pedestal, is acolossal statue in marble of Washington, which has enjoyed a remarkable his-tory. The figure, scantily arrayed in the toga of a Roman senator, is repre-sented in a sitting posture. The left hand clasps a short sword, the right pointstowards heaven. This is the work of Horatio Greenough. It is the birth of my thought, the artist writes. I have sacrificedto it the flower of my days and the freshness of my strength ; its every linea-ment has been moistened with the sweat of my toil and the tears of my exile.I would not barter away its association with my name for the proudest fortuneavarice ever dreamed of. In giving it up to the nation that has done me thehonor to order it at my hands, I respectfully claim for it that protection whichit is the boast of civilization
