The most notable piece of statuary in the Salon, the work of an American, is Saint-Gaudens’s statue of Admiral Farragut.  Mr. Saint-Gaudens, who is a native of New York, received about two years ago from one hundred gentlemen of that city, who had subscribed the necessary funds, a commission to make a statue of the great sailor.  It is to be placed in Madison Square, New York.  The pedestal is to be of granite, having at its base a large seat, on the back of which will be an inscription mentioning the important events in the life of the hero.  The statue, of bronze, represents Farragut in a standing posture, a little larger than life-size.  It is now being cast, and will be ready to be placed in position within two months.  Mr. Saint-Gaudens is now at work on a statue of Richard Robert Randall, the founder of the Sailors’ Snug Harbor on Staten Island, in front of which institution this statue is to be placed.  This sculptor has also nearly completed his cast of the figures intended to ornament the mausoleum of Ex-Senator E.D.  Morgan (of New York), about to be erected at Hartford, Connecticut.  Mr. Saint-Gaudens intends removing his atelier from Paris to New York in June, and will hereafter be permanently located in that city, where he will be an important addition to the art-movement in our own country.
