I'nder the above provisions of the act requir¬ ing the official acceptance of the statue by the Secretary of the Interior, Secretary I>elano notitied Miss Keam that be would view the work at 9 o'clock this uiorning. Accordingly at that hour quite a number ef members of Con¬ gress. journalists and a few (tersonal trie tub of the artist, including her slater and her aged parents, were present to witness the interesting a flair. This, it will be remembered, is not the public unveiling of the statue on the occasion of turning it over to Congress, liut is simply the private official inspection required, ax above stated, of the Secretary of the Interior. Among those present were Secretary Delano, Asm .¦taut Secretary otto, Senator Trumbull, Gob. Farm-worth.

It muat have been an anxious moment to the courageous little sculptor, and to her personal friends present. Could it t>e that the fragile youthful figure standing there, pale and anxious, and rendered more child-like in ap- pearance by her petite form and wealth of I>ora-like curls, had made a success where -o many older sculptors I'.rown notably and re¬ cently.had tailed'.' Was it possible that at her a-e. and with her slight experience, she had ma<ie a statue of Abraham Lincoln lit to be placed in the Capitol of the nation And then there wits the formidable array of lllinoisians present, familiar with the living Lincoln, and prompt to detect a defective literal representa¬ tion. howevei good the work nii^ht i>e artisti¬ cally. The veil was raided slowly. disclosing first the base, bearing the simple words A BRA BAH LIXCOLH; then, the well-remembered form; an<t finally and essentially, the head of the Patriot .Mar¬ tyr. There «m a momentary hush, and then an involuntary, warm, and universal demon¬ stration 01 applause gave the verdict of the dis¬ tinguished and critical gathering, and ansured the artist that her work was to be set down a success. There was another pause, while a more deliberate view was taken, and then an¬ other. and another round of applause eonflrmed and rendered final the involuntary decision from the first impression. And then every¬ body turned to where the little sculptor- girl stood, a little in the rear with glad tears in her eyes, and congratulation* were l>oured in upoti her from all quarters, official aiid unofficial, the illmoisians present being foremost in expressing their satisfaction with ber representation or the man they revered. The expressed opinion ot Senator Trumbull and others from that State was that the stati>e gives that thoughtful, benignant expression familiar to those who knew Mr. Liwcoln best, sbil which was best worth perpetuating in mar¬ ble. ISat he did not undertake, not being ta- miliar with art matters, to pronouuee upon its artistic merits, though they struck him as de¬ cided. On all the points at issue, of likenew acid artistic excellence, the opinion of so com¬ petent an authority as the distinguished painter ke'logg, who has both a European and Ameri¬ can reputation, will be read with intereat. and we «ut*)oin it in place of any less competent description of our own o To modal a life *i/e figure of a subject lack- ing many of the qualities which make a por¬ trait statue attractive and impressive. and yet to meet the reasonable expectations of the many who knew the original personally so weli, is to achieve a greater success than is usual in art. " it js an orileal requiring courage and the laitli ot genius to meet, aad especially so tnu»t it have been to Miss Keam. onder the circuni- stancea. which have lately attracted so much public Attention to the artist and to the work she now submits to the criticism ot those who eommissicned it. " The proportions of the woik are very exact; an extraordinary merit, which well repays the Sears of silent and laborious study given by I is* Keam to modeling the entire anatomy oi the Bgure before casting the drapery upon it. " l'he teaturesof Mr. Lincola are admirably rendered, and it was this faithf ul delineation of character which obtained for Miss Keam the commission for this statue over many abler com* {¦enters. The hoad and features are forciblv yet truthfully .modeled, the hair boldly man¬ aged in flowing masses, as by the skill of expe¬ rience; and the expression of sadness, miugied with benevolenco, is touchingly portrayed, well conceived, and appropriate ta the expression and meaning of the statue. The head, bending slightly torwardand downward,seem* to regard with anxious solicitude the multitude of a newly liberated people, to whom it presented, bv the right hand, the ' proclamation' of their emanci¬ pation. A long circular cloak covers the right shoulder and arm, tails backward ot) the left, being held partially under the forearm and caught up by the left hand, which grasps its ample folds as if in readiness to cover with the protecting mantle of the government the de¬ fenceless beings who are to receive the inesti¬ mable boon of freedom: a beautiful thought of tbe artiste.aptly and ingeniously symbol¬ ized. The cloak is happily arranged to give breadth as wall as dignity to a very tall and meagre figure. It plays also a useful part in aiding to support, where it touches the ground, tbe weight of the statne. " The figure is well poised, standing firmly and naturallf, and iU actio* is in perfect har- monv with the idea represented. Therj are no unnecessary or trivial details in the drapery to mar the grandeur of effect, large and varied masses being introduced with sack artistic knowledge and feeling as to ctve maalinees and dignity to the subject.

The feet that this young artist has achieved this undoubted success at aa age when nMst artists are commencing their education, will make her personal 'history one of no little in. terost. aad wo snbjotn a brief sketch, which will servo at loast to correct some errors ia pub¬ lished eutemeats regarding her romantic career. She was bora ia Madlsoa, Wis. Her father, Robert L. Keam, bold the position of Territo¬ rial Treasurer of Wisconsin uader Gov. Dodge, aad subsequently he held various other public pos tions ta the State. He came to Washington during the last year of Fillmore's administra¬ tion, and took a position aa draughtsman in the General I .and oflee. Afterwards he went to Kansas as chief c.lerk for Surveyor General Calhoun. During the time he was in Kansas his children were seat to school at the Christian College, and it was there that Miss Keam, then nine year* of i|>, began to display that precocity which has since beea so signally developed. At tbe age of eleven a number of tet down as a bora poet. Somewhat later her fine magical Abilities gave token that she was ta achieve tame in that direction, »nd ou the re¬ turn of the Keams to Washington she ramie a»e of her musical capabilities for the t>«sn- etit of our wounded soldiers at Lincoln H«x- Sital and elsewhere, raising <i«Jit<3 a fund i CO- operation with others tor their aid. When a child she had expressed With th* (rr«v njola mother her opinion that every voun< woman should have tom« am in life, and 41 sbe grew older her parents tound that «h - h% 1 realiy formed a settled convtcrkin of that sort under her cluster of raven ringlets.

From that time her progress was very rapid, and sl»e set herself down to hard work and study in her arduous profession, in a tuanuer quite wonderful for one of her years. The idea put forth by some letter-writers of her own sex, that she was a vain, frivolous girl, seeking ad¬ miration and noteriety, only, was as absurdly untrue as it was crael- It wa« only by resolutely denying herself all the ordinary amusements and" }dea«ures of those of her year- that she could hope to achieve success in her difficult art.difficult especially for a woman, and this she did. And work, work, work has it been with her from that day to this. BKK STATUE OF LIX'OLH. The history of the passage of the resolution by Congress. awarding the young sculptor the important commission of making the nation s statue of Abraham Lincoln will be remembered. It was opposed i>y Mr. Sumner, on the ground of the doubtfulness of entrusting so important a work to one so young and inexperienced, and, moreover,.a woman. It was also opposed by Mr. Howard, who said that he would as soon expect a woman to write the I Iliad of Homer, or to lead an army, as to execute such a work. The resolution was stoutly defended bv the brilliant McI>ougall, Coancss, Nesmitb. Howe, and others, who took the position that the work already executed by Miss Ream justified the com¬ mission . and on the woman .j uestion they charged home upon Messrs. Sntaner and Howard that women had headed armies successfully, had made statues successfully, and thai the .' Frag¬ ments of Sappho'' were written by a woman. The resolution, alter a protracted debate, parsed the Senate by a vote of it to 9; and the House without op|MM>ition. Miss lieam having com¬ pleted her model, sailed for Kurope, where she was accompanied by her parents. vmmi rum in at rope. Miss Keam seems to have received a good deal of kindly attention from the artist celeb, rities of the old world. In 1'aris. herself and father were accorded the rather rare privilege el tiee access to the studio of OrSTAVE DOR*; the pmsnre of visitors upon that busy artist being so great that be is compelled to he ex¬ clusive- His studio is notaldy complete; spa¬ cious. carefully lighted, and supplied with, doz¬ ens ot easels of all sorts, and other art-imple¬ ments, a- well as with books, a piano, Ac. lie is thoroughly impulsive in his style of work; he handles pencil or brush with astonishing rapid¬ ity tor awhile, then runs to the piano and dashes oil a piece ot music, and so on. At one time, wishing to iliustratd to a col¬ league the attitudes in >oiue group in whhb Vice.with a capital V.was to be .-rushed by Labor, lie threw himself upon the tloor, worked his round, boyish face luto an expression of tragic hate and despair, and seizing the font of the other, planted it uiton his breast to carry out the idea. Hi* mother, described bv Miss Keam as "a lovable old lady,' lives with him aad takes care ot him. She believes hitn the "best son that ever lived," and he certainly seems devoted to her. She take* infinite satis¬ faction in driving out dailv in a graad turn-out with a spaa of white hor»e.s, a present from her son. Miss Ilea in enjoyed the opportunity of sitting on the samescailoldingfrom which Dore worked uconoaeof his large paintings, and of noting closely the marvelous facility with which he handles the brush. Despite the vast amount ot woik he has done.carefully executed draw¬ ings numbered by thousands.and very many elaborate paintings in oil, he is but thirty-eight years of age and looks nut more than thirty. In dress and jppearance he is German rather than Krencb. Externally he ie joyous, hearty and genial, but underneath is a msrbid melan¬ choly, and with health, prosperity, and world¬ wide fame, he continually wishes himself dead, despite his masterly treatment of Bible subjects he describes himself as without religion, and when, on parting with Miss Keam he wished to give her some souvenir of his pencil he rapidly sketched a skeleton figure holding a bow and arrow, and wrote under it the word "Love" In. dicating that his faith in human affections is as deficient as that In a hereafter. He also gave her on parting a copy of his striking picture "Judith with the head or Holofernes, similar to his Bible illustration of that scene, bat much superior In fiai.>h and effectiveness. This bears the inscription "Offered to Miss Vinnie Keain from her atlectionate colleague,]Oti*tav Dore." Among the oil paintings on his easels was a large picture ot Christ descending from the Crow-, a striking Dorean picture illustrating In¬ toxication and the impressive painting of Kos sinieiead and bearing a cross upon hi* breast. Miss Beam took a bust of Dore and abo ot l'BRB HYACINTH!. The latter -he found at the convent at Pa«sy, dressed in a coarse gown, b arefooted, and with bead shaved. The room which he occupied was uncarpeted. and almost w ithoat furniture He was at first inclined to th Ink the rules of his order would not permit him to sit tor his bust, but the next day he wrote to Miss Keam to say that he found he coald do so with propriety, and that he would consider it an honor to sit to one who bad made likenesses 01 Abraham Lincoln and Tbaddeus Stevens, lor whom he had gr~at admiration. Despite his homely garments and shaven head, the dignitv and gi ace of the t'e*-* were such as to irrefutably impress all visitors. In Munich, Miss Keam met KAULHACH, the great German painter, and was treated by him with the greatest kindness. His -tudio was the reyerseol l>ore being small, crowded, and with everything ia the greatest confusion. His room was crowded with the cartoons of his celebrated frescoea, mythological and histori¬ cal, in Berlin, and contained also his noted picture of the Spirit Flight.an angel mount¬ ing heavenward bearing a child in its arms. Kaulbach is a thin, elderly man, (In his06th year,) but notably cheerful and kind-hearted. He wears a wig aad cap, and paints ia demo¬ cratic style, in his shirt sleeves. Whan Miss Keam, accompaaied bv her father, visited him, he called oat heartily, "And so this is my little colleague," and after welcoming them called far fruits, nuts, aad cake (tor his gue»ta. And afterwards the genial old artist got into ani¬ mated conversation in German with Mr. Keam, and Mias K. improved the opportunity to model a graceful medallion of the famous paiater's During her stay ta the city E# intro¬ duced her ta all the leading artists ia Munich, Sd PD parting he gave her letters of iatrodac- n to trusts la Kerne that the fouad of great benefit. " In Paris, a sister of Horace Greeley, residing there, had givea Mis* Keam letters of introduc¬ tion to one of the pupils of Lta/T, and through them aha had aa oppertualty of meeting the great composer. She was Invite* to go to the coavent, near the Colliaeum, where Lis/t lives, ta hear him play. The mom wa< filled with distinguished people. Mia Keam, by the thoughtful aess of her friends, was placed ia a seat very near the great musician.

A* a souvenir he gave Miss Beam a superb me¬ dallion locket, having a head of Christ carve.l in stone cameo, set in etru«can gold and witlx Boman enamel. Thegeuius, vivacity and child like frankness ot the American sculptor girl seem to have impressed tho lauious Cardinal creatly, and he wrote to her before «he lett Bome. encouraging her in her art career, com¬ mending her lor her nol.le devotion to her pa¬ rents, and giving her his benediction. Anto- nelli, who has borne the cares of state in Bome lor so many years with siugular ability, and who was made a cardinal shortly before the suc¬ cession of Pope Piux IX., is now stoop-shoul¬ dered, thin and tallow, but is brilliant of eve and most gracetul andtascinatiug 111 manner.

Miss flosmer Miss Steb- bins, and by the Italian artiats Bosetu, l'ado- Iini, Ansigilioni, &c. OPIKIOW or TH« ARTISTS. Healv's studio was in tbe house adjoining hers, and he and Story were among her be»t friends and most judicious advisers in the execu¬ tion of the work ,in which they took great interest Story, who employs some twenty-five men in the mechanical work of putting his models into marble, selected the workmen tor her statue, and by his advice she made some slight alter¬ ations in the drapery over one arm of her model, iu which change Healy concurred. Story then declared that he would stake his reputation on the statue. Healr, who has painted tbe best portrait executed or Abraham Lincoln, also wrote Miss Beam a letter after the statue was completed, in which he says:."I tender you my sincere congratulations on tbe admirable likeness you have obtained in your statue of President Lincoln. It represents the very m»n- ner of our noble Patriot Martyr, and will, I feel sure, give great satisfaction to our people wl>en placed in the Capftol. Your tender care of jour rather and mother has touched me greatly,*' Ac. Ac. After she had secured a room and mounted ber model in it, Miss Ream gave a reception, an J her studio was crowded tor two or three days by the artist fraternity in Rome, and In tho leading people there, and the admiration and sympathy ot the people tor the courageous young American artist was exhibited by the daily contributions of the choice-t flowers lor the decoration of her studio. TBE AP.T .lOrBHAX. OF ROMS OS THE RE\M LtKCOLW. The ait journal ot Rome, Biwnarotti, which is noted lor the beverity of its judgments, and which rarely condescends to noticc an American artist, males the following mention of Miss Beam's Lincoln, which wa* translated from the Italian of that paper by Bishop l><>menec. oi Pittsburg, who was at the Kcumenical Council .. A semi-colossal statue of Abraham Lincoln made of plaster from the model executed in clay, by a young lady artist, was on exhibition a tew days ago, in her studio. No. 45 Via de San Basilie. The name of the artist is Miss Vinnie Keam, who received from the fcoverrment oi the I nitsd States the commission of making that statue, over msny competitors. She has most justly perceived how a monumental statue of President Lincoln should be represented, so that the living to whom he was known might see in the expression and character or the de¬ ceased. and posterity might form a just idea ot the man, who held his high office In times verv grave and difficult, and who. while he was en¬ gaged in carrying on the greatest act of repara¬ tion to humanity, fell a victim to a blind fanati¬ cism. Therefore, Lincoln Is represented seri¬ ous, calm, melancholy, standing erect, dremed .n the costume of the times, yet rendered artis. ticallv, as far as possible to be done, by the combination ot the folds, naturally formed bv the movement of the person, and eariehed with the gracefully falling cloak, which nearly covers the whole back part of the figure. He holds In his right hand a paper, in the form of a papv - rolds ca« be read words ret erring I" abolition of slavery.

' OTHER WORKS OF MTSs REAM. While the workmen were putting tbe plaster model of the Lincoln statue into marble. Miss I.earn was hard at work on other subjects, she modeled a life-size figure of Sappho, and a smaller design embodying the Spirit of the l.oman < armval.a young girl throwing flow¬ er*. Both designs were much admired in Rome lor their spirit and grace. She also arranged for the cutting in marble two HttJe figures which were among her earliest works, and models of which she carried to Europe. One is styled "Miriam" sud the other "The West." The industrious little woman also modeled a !.*r£ comber of busts while in the priseipal »k Europe, and among them, in addition n«med. was a characterise boat of bpurfeon, takes, oddly enoogfe, in hia charch in London, that being the most coove- Ptace- he resided eat or town «Te also made a much-admired bast* af John our Minister to Vienna; one of Archbishop Jthen ' #f Mr* Fnm9at' » -am^ oi ftTiit goldbk ornrtows.

It wa« placed Mue days ago inthe rotunda of the Capitol, but <rrwMd fromthe public eye until it slionld be formally turnedover to Corjre.v. The act of Congress givmjthe commission to Miss Keam directs the .Sec¬retary otthe Interior to contract with her "fora life pi/e model and statue of the late PresidentAbraham Lincoln, to be executed by her at a

ing the official acceptance of the statue by theSecretary of the Interior, Secretary I>elanonotitied Miss Keam that be would view thework at 9 o'clock this uiorning. Accordingly atthat hour quite a number ef members of Con¬gress. journalists and a few (tersonal trietub ofthe artist, including her slater and her agedparents, were present to witness the interestingaflair. This, it will be remembered, is not thepublic unveiling of the statue on the occasion ofturning it over to Congress, liut is simply theprivate official inspection required, ax abovestated, of the Secretary of the Interior. Amongthose present were Secretary Delano, Asm .¦tautSecretary otto, Senator Trumbull, Gob.Farm-worth. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts,.lodge Marshall and Representatives Po¬land, I^wrence, Armstrong and Ingersoll-Atter tome preliminary work in removing theboard-si'rroundings of the statue, the outlineof the statue appealed, but still shrouded by itscovering of cloth. 1 lie workmen then preparedto lilt this veil, and there was a sudden bush inthe bu77. of conversation, in anticipation of theevent. It muat have been an anxious momentto the courageous little sculptor, and to herpersonal friends present. Could it t>e that thefragile youthful figure standing there, pale andanxious, and rendered more child-like in ap-pearance by her petite form and wealth ofI>ora-like curls, had made a success where -o

many older sculptors I'.rown notably and re¬

cently.had tailed'.' Was it possible that at hera-e. and with her slight experience, she hadma<ie a statue of Abraham Lincoln lit to beplaced in the Capitol of the nation And thenthere wits the formidable array of lllinoisianspresent, familiar with the living Lincoln, andprompt to detect a defective literal representa¬tion. howevei good the work nii^ht i>e artisti¬cally. The veil was raided slowly. disclosingfirst the base, bearing the simple words

A BRA BAH LIXCOLH;then, the well-remembered form; an<t finallyand essentially, the head of the Patriot .Mar¬tyr. There «m a momentary hush, and thenan involuntary, warm, and universal demon¬stration 01 applause gave the verdict of the dis¬tinguished and critical gathering, and ansuredthe artist that her work was to be set down asuccess. There was another pause, while amore deliberate view was taken, and then an¬other. and another round of applause eonflrmedand rendered final the involuntary decisionfrom the first impression. And then every¬body turned to where the little sculptor-girl stood, a little in the rear with gladtears in her eyes, and congratulation* werel>oured in upoti her from all quarters, officialaiid unofficial, the illmoisians present beingforemost in expressing their satisfaction withber representation or the man they revered.The expressed opinion ot Senator Trumbull andothers from that State was that the stati>egives that thoughtful, benignant expressionfamiliar to those who knew Mr. Liwcoln best,sbil which was best worth perpetuating in mar¬ble. ISat he did not undertake, not being ta-miliar with art matters, to pronouuee upon itsartistic merits, though they struck him as de¬cided. On all the points at issue, of likenewacid artistic excellence, the opinion of so com¬petent an authority as the distinguished painterke'logg, who has both a European and Ameri¬can reputation, will be read with intereat. andwe «ut*)oin it in place of any less competentdescription of our owno To modal a life *i/e figure of a subject lack-

ing many of the qualities which make a por¬trait statue attractive and impressive. and yetto meet the reasonable expectations of the manywho knew the original personally so weli, is toachieve a greater success than is usual in art." it js an orileal requiring courage and the

laitli ot genius to meet, aad especially so tnu»tit have been to Miss Keam. onder the circuni-stancea. which have lately attracted so muchpublic Attention to the artist and to the workshe now submits to the criticism ot those whoeommissicned it." The proportions of the woik are very exact;

an extraordinary merit, which well repays the

Sears of silent and laborious study given byI is* Keam to modeling the entire anatomy oi

the Bgure before casting the drapery upon it." l'he teaturesof Mr. Lincola are admirably

rendered, and it was this faithf ul delineation ofcharacter which obtained for Miss Keam thecommission for this statue over many abler com*{¦enters. The hoad and features are forciblvyet truthfully .modeled, the hair boldly man¬aged in flowing masses, as by the skill of expe¬rience; and the expression of sadness, miugiedwith benevolenco, is touchingly portrayed, wellconceived, and appropriate ta the expressionand meaning of the statue. The head, bendingslightly torwardand downward,seem* to regardwith anxious solicitude the multitude of a newlyliberated people, to whom it presented, bv theright hand, the ' proclamation' of their emanci¬pation. A long circular cloak covers the rightshoulder and arm, tails backward ot) the left,being held partially under the forearm andcaught up by the left hand, which grasps itsample folds as if in readiness to cover with theprotecting mantle of the government the de¬fenceless beings who are to receive the inesti¬mable boon of freedom: a beautiful thoughtof tbe artiste.aptly and ingeniously symbol¬ized. The cloak is happily arranged to givebreadth as wall as dignity to a very tall andmeagre figure. It plays also a useful part inaiding to support, where it touches the ground,tbe weight of the statne." The figure is well poised, standing firmly

and naturallf, and iU actio* is in perfect har-monv with the idea represented. Therj are nounnecessary or trivial details in the drapery tomar the grandeur of effect, large and variedmasses being introduced with sack artisticknowledge and feeling as to ctve maalinees anddignity to the subject.

And work, work, work has it beenwith her from that day to this.

BKK STATUE OF LIX'OLH.The history of the passage of the resolution

by Congress. awarding the young sculptor theimportant commission of making the nation sstatue of Abraham Lincoln will be remembered.It was opposed i>y Mr. Sumner, on the groundof the doubtfulness of entrusting so importantawork to one so young and inexperienced, and,moreover,.a woman. It was also opposed byMr. Howard, who said that he would as soonexpect a woman to write the I Iliad of Homer,or to lead an army, as to execute such a work.The resolution was stoutly defended bv the

brilliant McI>ougall, Coancss, Nesmitb. Howe,and others, who took the position that the workalready executed by Miss Ream justified the com¬mission . andon the woman .j uestion they chargedhome upon Messrs. Sntaner and Howard thatwomen had headed armies successfully, hadmade statues successfully, and thai the .' Frag¬ments of Sappho'' were written by a woman.The resolution, alter a protracted debate, parsedthe Senate by a vote of it to 9; and the Housewithout op|MM>ition. Miss lieam having com¬pleted her model, sailed for Kurope, where shewas accompanied by her parents.

on the samescailoldingfrom which Dore workeduconoaeof his large paintings, and of notingclosely the marvelous facility with which hehandles the brush. Despite the vast amountot woik he has done.carefully executed draw¬ings numbered by thousands.and very manyelaborate paintings in oil, he is but thirty-eightyears of age and looks nut more than thirty.In dress and jppearance he is German ratherthan Krencb. Externally he ie joyous, heartyand genial, but underneath is a msrbid melan¬choly, and with health, prosperity, and world¬wide fame, he continually wishes himself dead,despite his masterly treatment of Bible subjectshe describes himself as without religion, andwhen, on parting with Miss Keam he wished togive her some souvenir of his pencil he rapidlysketched a skeleton figure holding a bow andarrow, and wrote under it the word "Love" In.dicating that his faith in human affections is asdeficient as that In a hereafter. He also gaveher on parting a copy of his striking picture"Judith with the head or Holofernes, similarto his Bible illustration of that scene, bat muchsuperior In fiai.>h and effectiveness. This bearsthe inscription "Offered to Miss Vinnie Keainfrom her atlectionate colleague,]Oti*tav Dore."Among the oil paintings on his easels was alarge picture ot Christ descending from theCrow-, a striking Dorean picture illustrating In¬toxication and the impressive painting of Kossinieiead and bearing a cross upon hi* breast.Miss Beam took a bust of Dore and abo ot

Despite his homely garments andshaven head, the dignitv and gi ace of the t'e*-*were such as to irrefutably impress all visitors.In Munich, Miss Keam met

Whan MissKeam, accompaaied bv her father, visited him,he called oat heartily, "And so this is my littlecolleague," and after welcoming them calledfar fruits, nuts, aad cake (tor his gue»ta.

LtKCOLW.The ait journal ot Rome, Biwnarotti, which is

noted lor the beverity of its judgments, andwhich rarely condescends to noticc an Americanartist, males the following mention of MissBeam's Lincoln, which wa* translated from theItalian of that paper by Bishop l><>menec. oiPittsburg, who was at the Kcumenical Council

.. A semi-colossal statue of Abraham Lincolnmade of plaster from the model executed inclay, by a young lady artist, was on exhibitiona tew days ago, in her studio. No. 45 Via de SanBasilie. The name of the artist is Miss VinnieKeam, who received from the fcoverrment oithe I nitsd States the commission of makingthat statue, over msny competitors. She hasmost justly perceived how a monumental statueof President Lincoln should be represented, sothat the living to whom he was known mightsee in the expression and character or the de¬ceased. and posterity might form a just idea otthe man, who held his high office In times vervgrave and difficult, and who. while he was en¬gaged in carrying on the greatest act of repara¬tion to humanity, fell a victim to a blind fanati¬cism. Therefore, Lincoln Is represented seri¬ous, calm, melancholy, standing erect, dremed.n the costume of the times, yet rendered artis.ticallv, as far as possible to be done, by thecombination ot the folds, naturally formed bvthe movement of the person, and eariehed withthe gracefully falling cloak, which nearly coversthe whole back part of the figure.
