mpleted figure in marble has not only given the highest satisfaction to all concerned, but has been pronounced by competent critics one of the finest works of art in the world. The Mausoleum is to contain this splendid creation of Valentine's genius — this fitting monument to deck the tomb of Lee. The Association have raised in all $22,000, and they now need only $5,000 to complete the Mausoleum. Surely the bare announcement that this small sum is all that is necesssary to complete this splendid monument will at once bring contributions from every quarter. We would be glad to receive and forward any sums which could not be as conveniently sent to the treasurer, C. M. Figgatt, Esq'r, Lexington, Virginia. If any one fails to receive this number, ask if he has paid his subscription for 1879 or notified the Secretary of a purpose to do so soon.
