Bpecial Diapateh to The Tridune. MusgzooN, Mich.,, Aug. 1.—In Black Lake, a settlement several miles back from the buay lumber port of Muskegon, there lived in ob- scarity for many years, and died in poverty, ao eccentric character who was once widely known throughout tho country aa * the man with the Uranded hand.” Out of the mengre sall of his ten-acre farm he mauaged by constaut toll to squeeze a poor subsistence for himself and his old wife, People who knew the history of Nathan Walker, who kaew that he had been ono of the carliest sud stanchest workers In tho Abolitlon movement, and thata great poet had IMMORTALIZED KIS BXTLOIT IN VERSH, never failed to treat him with respect, although it must bo owned that, to the most part of the Muskegonians, he was simply a poor, old, worthless Michigan cracker. In fact, the new generatlon had practically forgotten all about ulm, until reminded, in the obituary notices printed by several of the more enterprising local papers, that a once famous character bad passed away, Blut, even then, the [dea of erecting a _monument to his memory did_ not enter the minds of his townsmen, That grateful ackvowl- edgment of Walker's services to mankind was left to one who was wot only not a resident of the Btate of Michigan, but who was uot even & native-born American, THUX DONOR OF THE FINR GRANITE SHAFT that now rears itself above the grave of the ploneer Abolitionist is the Rev. Photius Fisk, s Greek, who was educated n this country, and who served for many years as Chaplain in the United States Navy. To-day was appointed for the public exercises conuected with the unveil- ing of the monument. A number of prominent citizens of Muskegon took hold of the matter, and got out anattractlve and varied progromme, including & proceasion, music by tho incvitable brass-band, singing, specches, aud the reading of Whittier's poem, *“The Hranded Hond." ‘The result was that, from early in the morning until the hour for tho excrcises to begln, ¢ BXCURSIONA CAMB IN BY BOAT AND RAIL from all polnts of tho comoass. The usually plscid main street of the city was trausformed intom crowded thoroughfare, where the fruit- peddier did atspense his warcs, and the ice- cream tnau and the lemonade man did pursuc a thriviog trade, sud the ftinerant person with the handkerchief-trick did basely doprive the wonderiog rustics of thelr spending moify, A Goodrich boat brought a plenle psrty from Grand Haven, and the tralos from Allegan and other poluts in Western Michigan swelled the crowd of strangers fu town to about 8,000. THE PROCKSHION formed on the maln street, which is here termed Western avenue, in frout of the Opcra-House, and proceeded by way of Western avenuo and Terrace street to Evergreen Cemctery, The line of carriages and other vehicles was about a mile long. Mayor H. H. Holt scted us Presi- dent ot the Day, and A, B, Miner as Marshal, with F. L. Reyuolds sod C, H. Joges (colored) us assistauts, Arriving at the cemetery, the speakers of the oceasion were conducted to the grand stand, which was placed near TUX MONUMBNT. The Walker monument s ton foet high above the foundation, and stands on a base, which {s sunk to & depth of five and o half feet In the ground, and stands five fuches above the sur- Ince, making the total helght of the monument above the surfuce ten feet fivo inches. The base Is three feet square. The material of wlhich it {s composed Is Hallowell grunite, from Malue, and is dounated by the liev. Photius Fisk, of Boston, who also paid the transporia- tion to this city, It has the following fuserip- tion ou the south face: ' Photius Flak, Chaulaiu of the Uniied Biates Navy. On the eastern face of the shaft {s the fol- lowiug: Walker's Branded land. On the upper buse, same aide, Is the follow- oz { 0!

Itis meet and right that one who was such as ho was should have his grave matked 83 you propoec. Hinname deserves remembrance, and rhonid be mentioned with thosc of John Brown, Charies T, Torrey, Willlam L. Chaplin, Eljjan P. Lo ‘Thompson Work, and Burr Calvin, Abraham Lincoln, and othier nohle men who suf- fered at the hands of the slayo power. Jonathan Walker s not - lers entitied to gratofol memory than the most honorod of them sli. e was one who felt satiafied with the applauso of his own soul. What ho sttempted was niot intended to attract public notice. 1le was on the free, dashing billows of the Atlantic when the voices of nature apake to his sonl with the crandest cmphasis of love and truth, and, responsive to those volces, as ‘well 31 Lo those of his own heart, he welcomed the panting fugltives from alavery to the safety of his own deck, thoueh In dolug #0_he exposed him- selt to stocks, prison, branding-lrons, and, it might have been, to death, I well remember ‘the sensation produced by the exhibition of his brand- ed hand, It was one of the few strocitics of alavery that roused tho juetice and humanity of the North to & desth-struggle with slavery. Look- ing into bis simple, honest face, §t was essy to sew that, on such & countenance as his, no irace of Infamy could be made by stucks, stripes, or branding-irons. **S. 8." ineant at the Houlh “*Slaye-stealor,” but was read by the Nortn and all clvilized men overywhere ns ‘'Siave- ravior, 1ia example " of self-ancrifice netved us all to more heraic endeavor in behalf of the slave, My dearnir, [ feel 1t agreat depriva- tion that [ cannot bo personally present with yon on the 1at of Auvust, snd assiat |u the ceremonies In honorable memory of trao-hearted Jonsthan Walker, but § alall ba wilh you in apint and pur- pose, Very truly yours, FaEbrniok DovavLass. Mr. C. J. Chaddock read Whittier's poem on “The Branded Hand.” During music by the baud thie monument was then unvelled FARKER PILLSDURY. The President uext introduced the Ilon. Parker Pillsbury, of Concord, N. .. who be- gan his bration by saying that' the corner-stone of the proud pillar of Bunker Hill was lald in 1825 in tue prescuce of the )(lrr‘uln Lalayetto, nor io all Europe, nor in all the world, lived thers another man on whom, st that jovous lour, this whole natfon would have united to bestow such grateful tribute of respect, adinir- otlon, and adoration as upon him. And how bad he earned tho right to & whole natlon's out- pouring of tosnksgiving and praisol Just wiat he dld with sll the pomp and circumstance of glorfous war, just that, 1o more nor less, Capt. Jonathan® Walker attempted In his more peacetul, humble way, aud though he falled fn his purvose, at men count faflure, his work was not less a part of the creat conllict for freedom and independence. Capt. Walker was. born in the sume year that Gen. Washington died. WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON was born 1o Decenber, 1804, exactly five years after the death of Washington, and what Yvash- ington, Jeflerson, and Lufavette left undove Garrlson was commissioned—commissioned divinely—to complcte. Wasbington builded # _ Republic of men nnl{. and only of white men at that. Wbite male citizens were all ho kncw. Garrison demanded the equal, untrammeled freedom of every human beng,—every human man, woman, child, lrre- sncctive of race, complexion, or sex. In _spito of man-made codes, coustitutions, creeds, or catechisms, be demanded that equnl freedom In the namo of humanity, and according to the laws of the ltving God, and of such as Garrlson was Jonathan Walker,—brave, hardy, heruic son of the sea. His country was the world, his countrymen were all inan and woman kind. Uarrison had ten yedrs In the first sppeared olper in his glorious cause and work, As.svou as the slaves heard of Canada, aud turned tneir eyes that way (as covered vegotation alweys looks toward the light), one leason in astronumy they 1earnod, one only,—the place of the: polar star, more to them now than the Star of Bothlehem, of which few of them had ever heard; an some stowed themselyes away ON NORTHERN-BOUND VESSKLS, and, after enduring all the pafos and pangs of hunger, thirst, and alimost death in such dread- ful forms, would, when vered, ho sent back by Caotains or oiwners of the vesscls,~—scut back all the way trom Philadelplifa, New York, and eveu Boston —yes, God in Heaven forzive Boston if He could!

No deed so damned, so black ms that was ever- - done on sbip In command of him whose wonumont they had met to give itn the Izt snd sinles of approving heaven sud to a grate- ful people and posterity, His molto was “Evor save, never surrender the slave,” Blaye- Saver was the luterprotation of that branded baud, now slicutly moldering-in the dust at thelr feet, TIME MIQNT MOW DOWN TUAT ORANITE, trample oyt even the inscription of the hiero- glyptied hand; but the memory of the act should last when tho foundations of this earth were removed, and when the heavens above them wera vo more.
