While Bostonians may well be proud of Miss Cushman, she is equally sensible of the honor of being born in the American Athens, and evinces her love for her childhood's home by thus sending, from Italy to Boston, these admirable specimens of modern art.

Several years ago he designed and executed for the Grand Duchess Helena, of Russia, busts of three great musical composers. Miss Cushman captivated by the beauty of he work, and wishing to help the artist and to make his merit known, and at the same time pay a graceful compliment to her native city, ordered casts of these works, whcih she has sent as a gift for the adornment of the Music Hall, with which she had associated her name by her recital of the Ode of the Ode written for the inauguration of its Great rgan.
