Thomas Campbell’s father, who
.“was Aiexsnder- Camf
Vgrand-
father, is said to have been a man
of very hasty temper. Dr. Rich­
ardson relates the following in his
“ Memoirs of Alexander Campbell
, —■“ It is refated that/Thomas, when
preparing himself for the-ministry,
had been permitted to conduct wor­
ship in his father’s family, and that
on one occasion, when he had pray­
ed unusually long, that the old man,
whose kneeling posture had become
painful to him on account of his
rheumatism, was no sooner upon
his feet than, in a sudden gust of
passion, lie began greatly, to the
surprise and scandal of all present,
to belabor poor Thomas with his
cane because he had kept them so
long upon their knees.”:— Ex._ __
Our readers are aware that the
General Assembly of the State of
■ Ohio, winter before last, made an
appropriation of. $10,000 for a
marble statue of James A. Garfield,
to ’be placed in the National
Capitol, and appointed as cominis
sioners Governor Foster, Lieutenant
Governor Richards,- State Senators
Perkins, of Trumbull county, and
Jones, of Licking ; Speaker Hodge,
of the House; Representatives
Koons, of Mt. Vernon, and Barger,
of Coshocton; Chief Justice John­
son, of the Supreme Court, and
Attorney General Hollingsworth.
These commissioners contracted
with Mr. Charles Niehaus, an artist
of this city, so make the statue—
he to make a full size clay model,
which, if accepted, would secure to
him the completion of the work in
marble. Last week the members
of the commission met in this city,
and accepted the model—so that
Mr. Niehaus will proceed to . finish
the marble statue, which, we be­
lieve, is to be completed within a
year. There is, we believe, but one
opinion on the pstrt of those who
have seen the model—that, as to
correctness of likeness, animated
. expression, and commanding figure,
the model is admirable, .and most of
them regard the head and face as
an improvement on those of the
bust of which we had occasion to
