I do not know of anothor incident in history in which a dofeated general was greeted with bucIi nffection nnd confidonco in tho moruont of disaster nnd defeat. It is sublimo." "Tho Confedorato troops moved noiso lesdry excepting their yell," explained Col. 0. P. E. Burguyn, civil engineer and dolegnto sent by Virginia to receivo tho Btntuo. "Tho committeo thought tho design too theatrical. Thoy were biuri nehH men, not artists." "Ah!" said tho sculptor, thoughtfully, "thoy wero urtistn truo nrtists. .Thoy did not wish to revive tho past." M. Antonin Mercio is in tho nrimn at Hfo. A typical Frenchman, of medium height, ho hna charmingly cordial man ners, with tho simplicity insoparablo from childhood and gonitis. Ho was born nt Toulonso, nnd his parents ex pected him to follow commorco. "Wlint turned you to art?" I naked him. "Laziness," was tho natvo roply. His early life was not without hardship, but success Boon crowned it. Ho enmo to Paris nt twenty nnd nt twenty-throo win awarded tho prizo of tho French school at Homo. "David" was his first import- ant work. His sooond greatest effort is the "Glo ria Victus" at tho last exposition. Paris has many of his works. The tomb of Louis XVIII, at St. Denis, is proba bly the boHt known. Morale is tho pupil of M. ANTONIN MERCK. thoy hnvo just completed tho Lafayette monument erected by congress nt a cost of $.50,000. Mercio is an officer of tho Legion of Houor. Unlike most Frenchmen, ho hns trav eled extensively, nnd. his home is replete with tho art treasures of many lands. In his bronze medallion, tlm no?iin nt Art, over ono of tho urchos of tho Louvre, ho has perootuated tho iwunitv nt JiU young wife, who died a couplo of years ago leaving him two beautiful children. Tho first model of tlio Lee monument occupies a pedestal of honor in his classic ntelior. "Tho tronornl liml vnrv ....ii jhnnds and feet," snid tho sculptor, taking iruw ooiunu a uooemi taietrj- tho cav nlry boots worn at Gettysburg. "A young girl could scarcely wear thorn." Over tho Inxits hung Lihi's hat. Tho sword was modeled from a photograph. "Havo you tho general's saddle?' "It is a curious fact," said Mercio. "Tho Baddlo of tho statuo was modeled from ono loaned mo by tho Duo do Char tres." Tho Duo do Chartres and his brother, tho Comto do Paris, it will bo remem bered, Berved on tho Union Bido, and tho saddlo was tho ono tho former hnd used throughout his service. "When tho duo loaned mo tho Biiddlo," concluded Mercio, "ho miid, 'Ah, I boo, you wish to mako tho Bouth fighting victorious!' 'Tlio war,' I replied, ia over.'

Twnitydhrvo years ngo I vlnited Fort Kiloy, ICnn., when tlio military reports referred to it is on tho western border of tho thickly Imhltahlo irgion, nnd tnlked with olllceni and traders of Ellsworth, n little beyond, us "on tho edgo of tho Great American Desert." In tho vnlloys thoro was oft jjniBs and n sort of sod. Northward nnd tiortheiutwnrd nnd I especially recnll Pawneo county, Neb. tho country w us covered by tho "linrd grass of the plains;" that is, a sort of bunched nnd seeded grass which formed no sod. Go lug westward on tho Plntto I found very little sod beyond Loup Fork. Tho won derful change in all thnt meridian I know, for I hnvo seen it. I hnvo heard nioro curious things, for which 1 cannot personally vouch. Many witnesses say that for many years tlio border between tho soft grass of the Mis souri valley and tlio regular plains grass traveled regularly westward at tho rnto of two or threo miles per year. During nil those years nnd many moro all west ern Now Mexico and northern Arizona wero certainly growing dryer, for I found ninny recently extinct lakes and abandoned fields in which tho Navajoes had raised good crops of com thirty years before. At tho samo timo tho val leys nbout Uoavor, Utah, wero gaining moisture ho rapidly that broad stretches remained green nearly all summer nnd nt Halt Lake City thero was at least ono heavy rain each month in thosummor of 1871. Now wlint could hnvo caused this change except tho presence nnd work of the Caucasian? I enn imagine no other reason which fits nil tho facts. In Auatrnlin tho changes hnvo been stupendous. Vast tracts on which tho summer bent wns almost intolerable havo becoino comparatively tcnipernto. Tho air is still hot, but thero is a Boftness in it which makes it far mora agreeablo; tho nights nro moro refreshing, tho breezes nioro cooling, nnd in tho vicinity of cul tivated tracts oven tho desert air is less prostrating. Old settlers in California insist I know not how truly thnt thun der is now often heard in localities whero it was unknown at tho timo of tho "dig fdiiKH." and a few nionoertt teHtifv in iu.r. sonally noting tho fright of Indians thero when they first heard thunder. Tho old est rejKirts of oxplorors speak of tho Cherry creek country as rainless in sum mer; but I havo Been rain storms in Den ver which would bo rated as "violent and protracted" oven in tho Ohio volloy. A recent writer on Egypt assorts that rain has fallen oftenor since tho English took ijoesossion. On tho other hand, tho ruins of Roman aqueducts and fount tains and evidences of cultivated fields havo been discovered so far down in tho Sahara ns to prove that tho limit of cul tivation was onco far south of tho pres ent limit, and wo know in reason that when Northern Africa hnd eighty Chris tian bishoprics it must havo held at least ton times as many pcoplu as now. Tho Aryan or Caucasian rnco ruled it then. Thero nro many reasons for behoving thnt tho habits of this rnco and their methods of culture improve tho climato. On tho other hand it is to bo noted that seasons of the old fashioned kind como nt intervals to western Kansas and Nebraska and toUtnaand Colorado; and it 1b imiKirtant to know whether this is always to bo bo, or whothor long contin ued cultivation will not finally mako tho increased rainfall permanent. Nebraska presents this curious anomaly: consider ably moro than half tho grain produced in tho Btato is from tho section west of what was only twentv-fivo vwirs mm mnrkivl as tho limit of possiblo fanning without irrigation. It is also a question if irri gating all tho vnlloys lying in proper locations therefor will not mako nil tho mljncent uplnnds cultivable by increas ing tho rainfall. J. H. Dkadlk. Cunt of Modern JaumuIUm. Sjwclal CorrwiiKjiiJonco. New Youk, May 1. Conjocturo nnd gossip in newsiMipcr circles havo lately been exerted as to why Mr. Ballard Smith happened to lw on board of the City of Paris at tho timo of tho accident to that steamer. Mr. Smith loft Now York mysteriously for no ostenslblo pur poao, nnd, with tho oxception of his dis patch in regard to tho City of Paris, ho returned ns quietly ns ho went. Tho fnct that ho wns thoro has been re garded us n piece of luck, but it has been pretty generally folt that thero was a Btory back of it. Now it comes out. When the Fassett committee began to turn Tummnny upside down Tho World dispatched Mr. Smith to Europo for tho puriioso of interviewing Grand Sachora Richard Crokor, who is luxuriating in a courso of mud batlis at Wiesbaden. Mr. Smith no sooner got woll out 011 tho billowv Atlantin thnti Tlio Herald irot wind of thn nhWt nt his mission and cabled tho facts to Paris. Tho cablo message arrived thoro sooner man 1110 uigBliipaw. A Herald man was at onco dispatched to Wiesbaden from tho Paris ofllco, and an interview was obtain ed from tho great Tammanyito in tho mud In Germany in regard to bis fellows in tho soup in New York. Tliis intcrviow was as promptly cabled back, so that when Mr. Smith arrived in Euroiw ho found himself beaten by Tho Herald's superior foreign Bervico. Tho City of Paris episodo mado up for that, however, for Tho World scored a clean beat over all of its esteemed con temporaries in that matter. This affair, trifling in itself, only goes to show to what oxiHiiiso nowspaiiers go to obtain news in these days. To send a man to Europo for tho purpose of obtaining a singlo interview means nn oxpenso of at least $ 1,000 for not over threo columns of matter. A thousand dollars a column is a pretty good price to iwiy for news, especially when thero is tho chanco of not getting it after nil. Allan Foiuiam.
