BEAUTY , SYMMETRY , SOLIDITY AND GRACE Ilotr Men Act In n.lttlo r.nrROit of Alt O. A , n. Mocllnrri Jnck' * Double Jag A llr.ive Confotlor' nto Chaplain.x The handsomest monument on the field of Gettysburg was unveiled on July 3 In commemoration of tlmt eventful day thirty years ago. It stands In the Notional cemetery within a stone's throw of the beautiful statue of Major General John R Reynolds. It was erected ! > > the state of Now York In memory of the 1,1100 , valiant sons who nro clustered In soldiers' graves at Its foot. Its total height Is ninety-two feet nlno Inches , Its weight Is many tons , and Its cost is 802,000. It commands a charmIng - Ing view and can bo scon from any part of the Hold , except the Ice of Gulp's Hill nnd of the Devil's Don' When finished It will bo the crowning work of the Now York State Board of Gettysburg Com- mlHsionors , whoso organization was in spired by Gertornl Danlol E. Sickles , and which came Into oflloiul being through his efforts under u legislative act passed In 1887. It is within the bounds of reason to Bay that the Now York state monuments surpass In nrtlBtlU * design , beauty of execution and solidity of construction thoho erected by any other state in the union. On thcso battle-scarred Holds the Empire state has buried with her fallen heroes $200,000 In monumental testimonials. The state monument as It stands Is a model of beauty , symmetry , solidity and grace. In height It la 70 fcut , with a heroic statue In bronze of a young girl 10 feet 9 Inches In height , holding in her hand outstretched over the graves of the unknown Now York dead a wreath of laurel. The figure Is majestic In appearance and superb In execution. The base of the monument , which has been erected under the supervision of A. J. Zabrlskle. engineer to the commis sion , ls'27 feet in height. It Is built of Hallowoll granite , with a polished shaft. On the plinth Is a bronze trophy sur mounted by a Now York state caglo In bronze over the state's escutcheon. Underneath the escutcheon and on the base Itself , In solid blocked letters , stand out In bold relief the two simple words , ' "Now York. " Along the upper line of the base are the badges of the different corps that participated in the battle tho.Flrst , Second. Third , Fifth. Sixth , Eleventh , Twelfth , Cavalry Engineer , Signal corps and artillery. On the four sides of the base are loft places for appropri ate tablets , ono of which will bear a complete list of all the ofllcors .from Now York state who were killed or mortally wounded In the battle. But the commission has done oven more than this to enhance the attract iveness and beauty of iho monument. It has put In position a bronze circular In alto rellovo , divided in four panels , ro- produclng , the valor of Now York state ofllcors on the field. The front panel represents General Sickles Immediately after ho was struck by the confederate bullet in the right log. Ho has been helped from his horse and is leaning upon ono of his brigade commanders , Brigadier General Josoph'B. Carr. In this group are the woll-remomborcd faces of General S. K. Zoolc , who was killed the sumo day that Sickles was hit ; General S. H. . Weed , a native New Yorker , who was mor.tally wounded the following day on Round Top by a con- federatp sharpshooter ; General C. K. Graham , another of the Third corps brigade commanders , who died three years ago ; General R. B. Ayres of the artillery , who died only a year or two ago at Fort Hamilton ; General J. H. Hobart Ward , n. brigade commander , who is now a clerk/ in the superior court in Now York city , and Brigadier Gen eral Henry E. Tromaln , who was on General Sickles' staff , and who was the first ofll"or to reach him after ho was wounded. On the obverse side Is a group of gen eral ofllcors surrounding Alajor General Henry W. Slocum of Brooklyn , the com mander of the right wing of the union army. At his right stands the venerable - blo Gonorn George S. Greene , through whoso magnificent generalship' and sagacity the union army was baved on the night of the 1st. At the time of the battle General Greene was 015 years old. Today he Is the oldest surviving gradu ate of Woit Point. Gcno'ral Moudo hud ordered the entire Twelfth corps over to the support of the union loft , which cov ered Round Top. General Slocum ex postulated against the movement. Ho ueclar6d that Meade was imperiling not only the right wing , but the entire army of the Potomac. Ills arguments were so forcible and convincing that Meade finally permitted him to' retain ono brigade. Slocum detached Greene's brigade , and this llttlo force hold the barbed end of the fish-hook line which represented the union front. General Greene quickly perceived that his brigade was totally inadequate to protect the position Intrusted to his care , and placed his entire force In line as skirmishers , with intervals of ten paces between each man. In unite of this precaution General Kdward Johns ton's confederate division poked Its nose between his lines , and , as 'a matter of fact , pierced the union position , but , Buspectlng by the pohltlou of Groono's troops that ho was In a trap carefully laid , Johnston fulled to tulco advantage of the situation. Every olllcor on the field who knew what Johnston hud ac complished was amazed that ho failed to follow up his advtmtagoNind break the back of our line. Among the general ofllcors In this group , which is notable for the excel lence of the likenesses , are General James S. "Wadsworth , who ran for gov ernor of Now York on the republican tlclcot in 1602 , and who was killed in the " \Vilderno s in May , 1804 ; General Davit A. Rusgcll , who cumo from Washington county , Now York , and who was killed nt the battle of Winchester , October 10 , 1804 ; Brigadier General Henry J. Hunt , who was chief of artillery on General Mcado'u stall , and who dlou three years ago ; General Alfred Plcasanton , who was chief of cavalry of the Army of the Potomac , and who is now living in Wash ington , a retired colonel of the army ; the ] Hpular General Henry A. Barmtm , who died u couple of years ago in Now York ; General Joseph J , Bartlett , whu died a fo\v months ago in Washington , and General Aloxundei Shalor , now liv ing In Now York city. The right panel represents the death of General John F. Reynolds , command ing the First corps , and the likenoashaa bcon pronounced by his ulster to bo the b : t alto hus over seen. Over him are bonding Major General Abnor Djublo- . day , who died in Mondham , N. J. , last month , and Major General John C. Rob inson , who lost u leg at Spottuylvanlu nd who IB now living in Uinghaiuton1 t Y. , nearly blind. Among the other1' ' officers are General Francis C , Barlow , vho is quickly recognized ; General A. Von Stolnwchr , who took possession of .ho formidable position of Cemetery Hill and hold it In splto of iho successive charges of the confederates , and Colonel Thomas G. Dovln , ono of the cavalry commanders. The loft panel represents the wound ing of General Hancock , nnd around ; hts central figure are grouped In a striking manner General Mulpntrlck , General Warren , who was chief of on- pincers on Meado's staff , and who saw Lho Importance of Round Top and seized it ; General Dan Butterfield , who was chief of Meado's staff , and General Alox- uidor S. Webb of Now York city. who. the of General ' ' " in absence 'Paddy" Owen , commanded the famous Phlla- lelphia brigade nt the bloody angle and received the full force of Pickott's charge on the afternoon ot the 3d of July. Ii It n Untile rover ? There Is , unquestionably , a species of Jury or battle fever that seizes upon cer tain men In action , though many vet erans fccout , the Idea. But there are skeptics as to any form of Inspiration , whatever. I have seen men transformed in battle by sudden changes marked as perceptibly upon every feature us the shifting lights and shadows soon upon the face ot nature when the sun darts trotn behind a cloud. It is as though hands of restraint were loosened sud- .donly , and the pulses seem to leap as under tin electric shock. I have felt the change and noted it at the instant. Dur ing such a mood a soldier will attack anything that shows fight. Actors , orators and preachers understand this , tor there conios.to them n tlmo when the occasion , the scene , the approving audience transports thorn from the real to the ideal nnd inspiration , as good as any name , if it has been abused carries them away. Again , the spur of a mar velous deed may bo Incidental to the moment. When Kllpatrick ordered Farnsworth to lead his squadrons among the rooky moulders and standing tlindar on ho slopes of Round Top at Gettysburg in toco of a brigade of infantry the bravo young soldier protested that it was mmling men tp slaughter. "These are too good men to kill , " ho pleaded. "If you are afraid to lead this charge , I will , " said Kllpatrick. There was hot challenge and fiery answer for a moment , ; hon the general of a day gave the sig nal for that wild rldo to death. Circling Iho field to draw the enemy's fire the K > lo purpose of the charge and finding : ils band reduced to a handful and com pletely surrounded , ho started , sword In iiand , to cut his way through a whole regiment that stood across the path of retreat. Unhorsed In the first dash ho sprang into the baddlo of a fallen trooper and rode on until ho was over come by the drainof , five mortal wounds. Farnsworth's charge would stand In history as a second Balaklava had not Pickott's , occurring a couple of hours earlier , given the world a more pictur esque feat of arms to wonder about. It is believed that General P. R. Clo- burne , who was killed at Franklin , Tenn. , in 1804. while riding all alone igalnst the union breastworks the most heroic episode of the Kind in the war wont into action that day piqued by a remark from his superior shortly before the attack , reflecting upon the spirit of Cleburno's troops. At Shiloh Colonel Allen of the Fourth Louisiana led his men four times against the famous "Union hornet's nest , " only to moot with repulse. Receiving an order for another charge ho asked the commander , Gen eral Bragg , If the men must repeat the assault. "Colonel Allen , we want no faltering hero , " said Bragg , haughtily , , then turned away. Though bleeding from a painful wound ttie colonel would not abandon his soldiers to tholr fate , but rode to the colors , sounded the charge , and dashed once more into the frightful carnage. l.iirccst Grand Army Gathering on Kecorcl. Estimates which have baon sent by the assistant adjutant generals of the different departments to the oxecutlvo director of the twenty-seventh national encampment of the Grand Army , to beheld held at Indianapolis early in September , indicate that the attendance at this great annual gathering will bo 40 per , cent larger than over betoro. This is' largely duo to the fact that the oncarap- 'fnont is to bo hold at a point which is the center of the Grand Army mem bership and will also bring them closer to the World's fair , which will bo one of the attractions of the .occasion. The work of providing accommodations tor the crowd is" ono of the greatest problems connected with the encamp ment and is being specially looked after under the supervision of the executive director. Ills Honts and a U'c Head. General Meade , who was a good deal of a martinet , gave orders that no officer should bo allowed to leave the lines of Petersburg , for Washington or olbo- where , unless his apnllcatlpn was ap proved by the adjutant general of the Army of the Pfitomuc ; and ton days waste to bo the limit of the leave of nbsonco. " .Tack" Gloeson went to the adjutant general and stated hlsdeslro fora leave , so says Hon. John F. Finorty in Dona- hoo's Magazine for July. "General Meade won't hoar of it , " said the adjutant general , "If you haven't some good special reason for leaving your command. " "But I have a good reason a mighty good reason , " Mack' replied. Divll a pair of boots in the whole quartermaster general's outfit will go on my foot , and I have to go to Washington to got a pair made to order. Is It barefooted the general - oral would have me appear at the head of my men ? " Gloeson's logic convinced the adjutant general , and the required luavo for ton made out. "Jack" days was departed In triumph , went on a magnificent "tear , " and made sad havoo of his financial re sources. On the morning of the tenth day of his absence the adjutant general received thd following telegram from the national capital : "Can't find a pair of boots in Washing , ton to fit mo. Shoemakers all on u strike. I want leave extended ton dnya longer- bo that I can go to Now York and have a pair built for mo. mo."JOHN II. GLKSBOX , " The officer showed the dispatch to Meade , who swore at llrbt Hko a trooper , but , being hlnibclf the grandson of an Irishman , ho rather enjoyed , at bjttjin , the humor of Jack's subterfuge. "Toll him he can have his ton days leave additional , " bald the general , "but if ho has not returned by that time ho must either quit the sorvieo or pro vide himself with a bmallor pair of foot No. 18'n are barred In this army.

Ga , , announces the death in that city on Wcdnodduj morning of Rev. Father Darlua Huhort in the 70th year of his ago. Ho hud re moved to Mucon from Now Orleun about a year ago for his health , having sustained a stroke of paralysis in tin. latter city about two years ugo. Father Hubert was born July 10 , 1823 at Toulon , the great naval station o Franco. His father gave him a collegiate education , uud oa September 23 , 1843 when ho was 20 years of u ere , ho became i member of the Society of Jesus. After a few yoara in the churches of Franco h was assigned to work la this country Ho embarked from Franco on the sailing vessel St. Ann. Ten other JosuUa camu over with him. They arrived In Mobile ) ccoinbor 12 , 1817 , and then separated and went wherever tholr superiors sent hem. Of the eleven that came over nly two- now survive -Rov. Father Juffo and Brother Ignatius the latter mvlng for many years officiated as sox- on of the Jesuit church. As chaplain in the confederate army 10 showed the highest courage of man- lood and the manly gentleness , of the minister of God. Ho shared with the oldlors of his command. Ho was up and about at all hours of the night , when nest of the whlto-tcnted cam ] ) breathed n slumber , for ho had no thought of atiguo when there was good to bo done. Strange to nay thlsllfo of activity served o build up his physical frame. Previ ously ho had been very delicate , and had uilTcrcd from frequent hemorrhages , > ut four years pt 11 fo in the open air eenied to recreate the wasted fibres , and left him nt the close of < the war trong nnd healthy. The old soldiers have many stories to 011 of Father Hubert's Virginia cam- mlgn. They toll them as they would" oil thorn of any ether veteran , for ho vns a much-loved comrade , and a soldier every inch of him. When the army Hissed through Fredorlcksburg , Id. , after n long march through brambles mil bushes , and famine and despair , ' \ithor Hubert's clothes were In such a altered condition , dangling from him Iko so many rags but honorable rags hat the good old man was forced to bog low apparel from the people of the town , is ho knew that the soldiers wcro too loot' to furnish it. Father Hubert had in him the element hat goes to make the hero perfect earlossness in the discharge of duty. Pho crow of the renowned Merrlraac voro under his chaplalnshlp. When she md Jier famous fight with the Monitor Either Hubert was on shore. Immedi ately after the fight Father Hubert sent vord to the commanding olllcor , Admiral Buchanan , that ho wished to como iboard and attend to these who needed iis services. Admiral Buchanan came ashore and said : "Father , I do not wish ou to como aboard. Wo expect to on- ; ace the Monitor again tomorrow and t will bo no place for you. " "My place _ s with the wounded nnd dying , " answered .iho bravo priest. "But , athor , listen , " returned the admlrah 'Wo are in n vorj disabled condition and If the Monitor returns tomorrow I hall blow up the Morrimac with all on ward , for A-O are in no condition to fight nnd will never surrender. Remain on shore. " "As I said before , my place is vith the wounded and dying , " replied the father. "If it is necessary I wish to die with the men. " After the war Father Hubert returned o Now Orleans and was made pastor of t4 c Jesuit church. OHEBABDI TELLS A STORY. low I to and 11U Crew Were Alarmed Dur- n Calm nn the ruoltlc. Real Admiral BancroftGhorardi , who commanded the combined fleets of the vorld during the recent naval Demon stration at Hampton roads and New York , js a genuine old sea-dog. Ho can spin as many yai ns of strange advcn- urcs in distant seas and foreign climes as any jack tar that over hitched his roubors or shipped before the mast. Perhaps the oddest of all his adventures s ono ho recently told a Louisville Post man of a phantom hurricane of the Pacific. "It was yjars ago , " the admiral began , 'when I-wus a captain , and in the days of wooden ships and lofty masts , before , ho era of ironclads , that wo were cruis ng in the Pacific , off the South Ameri can coast. Wo had not hud a captul of wind during the entire day. It was in ; ho dog watch , just about eight tells. Lieutenant Patcb was in charge of the lock and I was below when an orderly irought word that the lieutenant .bought . I hud hotter como on deck. I enow something unusual was up , for Lieutenant Patch was an officer in whom ' . had the utmost confidence in any emergency. When I reached the deck I cast an eye aloft and saw that the top bails were close reefed , sail shortened md everything in readiness for a blow. it was as calm as a duck pond , not oven i whisper of u breeze , and I looked at Patch to see what was wrong. Ho lolnted over the starboard beam , and ooklng In that direction through the gathering dusk 1 saw that the water was i mass of white. Over the quarter it vas the same , the ocean to star- joard seeming to bo whipped .nto foam. The first thought was , of course , that on j of these southern hurricanes was bearing down on us. Wo looked at the barome ter , but It had not fallen. There was not a Bound ; the night was perfectly itlll. Satisfied that it could only be a liurricano In spiteof the absence of the usual barometric signs , I told Lieuten ant Patch that ho had bettor call all hands on deck to stand by to work Iho ship. All precautions Had been taken , and the only question was whether the ship would stand. Wo stood in silence , all hands watching that wall off to starboard. The suspense was trying , but we waited for the storm to strike us. Slowly It came on , nearer and nearer , but not u bound accompany ing It. And then the ship went bung Into that white , foamy mass. But there was not u sign of wind'mid , wo stood there umuzud. Thou a bucket was sent over the tjido and u pailful brought up. Well , It was only u ma s of animalcule , buch us whales feed on.

Henry Clews , the Now York banker , in his weekly letter , rovleVs tuo situation in Wall street In the following InnRU.igo : Wall street remains unsettled and de pressed. It has plainly passed tlio crueuil point of tlio crisis , una the process of re covery has set In ; but It proceeds so gradu ally as to make no conspicuous impression upon the value of securities. The special In- tervoutlou ot a group nt Influential banlts last week , by tutting out u largo amount of clearing house cortlllcutos , had the effect ot breaking up the tlaugorous stringency In money ; but the seriousness of the cir cumstances which led to that saving oftort causes yet to remain a certain degree of cautionary ortoi't. Several capi talists of high standing nnil largo corpora tions with which thoj' wcro associated had apparently become temporarily embarrassed by the iliRlculty of borrowing. Imlcotl , the distrust has boon more pervasive probably than nt any previous period slnco the memo rable days of 187J ; and the whole difficulty nroso from inlsgirlnjf a lest the Sh6rman act should drive Us into a suspension of gold payments. This distrust bscnmo so positive that nothing short of Immediate steps towards the suspension of purchases of sil ver could stay its force , nnd deferment of thosy stops produced n quluk and threaten ing Intensification of the apprehension. Clcvclnncl c innot Do All. The president's call for a special session of congress was therefore thu only kind of treatment that could produce any 'relief. That clTeot It has certainly had ; but there Is a limit to what Mr. Cleveland's Intervention can accomplish. It Is known that u month hcnco congress will proceed to the considera tion of this question ; and from such Investi gations as have been made Into the views of members of congress , there seems to bo more than a mere probability that the country may bo saved from nuy further silver ularm. But lu n matter of such supreme Importance anything short of ab solute certainty Is Insuftlcleut to establish a full return of confidence. The question is u very broad ono and r.imlflos Itself through our cnitro currency svstoin , nnd It will re quire judicious handling to Insure the qulclc conclusion which is above till required and which , It may be hoped , congress will reach. It Is possible that the discussions may verge upon sensitive topics , but that is foreseen , and there is consequently no disposition to take overythini ? for granted , but to keep business within conservative limits uutll it Is foreshadowed what are likely to bo the monetary conditions of the future. Whilst it is highly desirable that congress should pass without delay a hill repealing so much of the Shormau act us provides for the purchase of silver , yet , considering the uncertain composition df the senate and the probability that the J'moro money" inon may Do found to Insist on some compensation or substitute for tho'suspeusion of the present issues of silver mouey , It is not improbable that contentious may arise from that sort of bargaining. It } s possible , however , that such a turn m debate , should It bo wisely led , might bo productive of much good and help towards a bettor settlement of the gen eral question. FoVIt Is not to bn supposed that a stoppage of sliver issues is the only amendment the currency situation requires. Ono Knsontkal of Currency. " Wo must have an elasticity In our currency that will permit ILs.volumo to increase with the growing bualnes.i of the country ; nndJf the now silver ISSUUH are stopped without provision being matlo' for n natural additional supply of-money , tlicf change wlll'Jjo simply ono from unsound inflation to tlfo opposite extreme of violent contraction. It would bo neither mid unreasonable nnr nn unwhole some demand Ifj concurrently with the con sideration of ii rcpeal'bill , the sense of con gress should bo consulted as to the procure ment of this needful elasticity through amendments of the , laws relating to bank note circulation. Wcro a satisfactory un derstanding reached on that question It would no doubt materially contribute to wards insuring the cooperation of that largo section of the silver party who mainly care for the way fielng kept open for increasing the circulation , whether through1 silver or paper being comparatively immaterial to them. Ample deliberation , if controlled bv wlso hc'ads and directed towards prudent plans , may afford broader nnd more perma nently satisfying results than a partial con clusion limited to ono of the many points in volved. It is to bo hoped that some such prospect may temper the public patience In waiting tor the completed action of congress ; that , hownvor , need not and should not pre vent the early suspension of silver purchases through the prompt and simple method of a Joint resolution , which would avoid much dilatory parliamentary wranglinc , Money Upcoming Kaaler. The monov market is steadily working Into a condition of greater ease. Tho' de mand for currency from the interior has al most ceased , and a few days may quite pos sibly see currency returning from the west. Besides which there is a reserve resource of a great many millions which lias been with drawn most 'selfishly nnd dangerously from the banks and trust companies by savings banks. Beyond this , thcro is an amount , considerable iu the aggregate , withdrawn from deposit by private individuals and ultr.vconsjrvatlvo country biuk proiidoats. which may bo expected to find its way back Into circulation as soon as the stringency has abated. This movement is liltuly to soon place the banks In an easy position , when wo may run into cho opposite extreme of the glut of money and low rales ot In terest. The prcssuro for discounts has almost dissappoard. Llttlo new paper Is being made , and the stronger nnd moro prudent firms had made provision ahead ot their wants when the first sign of the storm appeared ; so that now the amomnt of paper offered at tunic Is q jito nominal.
