LIFE ON TROUVILLE BEACH. Sarin Trovvitte, Sept. 1, 1877. ‘Where is Trouville? 1 hear more than one American ask, Get out your atlas, good reader, put your finger on Havre, then look across the Seine, and there, seven © one of the most fashionable Like moat fashionable miles away, you will Measide resorts of Eurupe. things it is parvenu, Though older than Biarritz, which owes its existence to the ex-Empress Eugénie, frouville is American in yoars and progress, days of William the Conquoror it was under the sea. Later it gradually emerged, and tishermen built their huts upon the newmade land. }orty yenrsago the French artiste, Charles Mozin and Isabey, discovered the veauty of the neighboring coast and painted pictures | bat excited curiosity, Alexandre Dumas, pre, laid | several scenes hore, and straightway Paris came to see this bantling of art. She came, she saw, she was con- Io the | querou, She built villas, a casino, a theatre and hotels, and M. Cordier, architect, became the presiding genius of the new Trouville, In ad- dition to his own beautiful villa, occupied this season by J. W. Mackey, ot Big Bonanza celebrity, M. Cordier made roads, erected the fine hotel Les Roches Noires, and turned a (ishing village into a Paris by the sea. A few years ago camo the Duke de Morny who, crossing the river Touques, transformed | the flat sands of Deauville into a garden of villas, What Belgravia is to London, the Faubourg St. Germain ts to Varis, Deanvil’e 18 to Trouville, irom which it is sepa- rated by # briage, Deauville bas its separate casino and theatre and hotel, and cau only be attained by | those whose purses aro longer than their pedigrees, however, long the latter may be; but now that the Empire and De Morny aro no wore Deauville bas gone juto wourving. Many villas are to let, and as tho lown itself is lat and uninteresting, the great public prefers its loss uristocratic but infinitely more aniusing Dvighbor, where prices are high but not absolutely ruinous, RACING AT DEAUVILLE. Deauville lays claim to tae race courae, prettily sit- waited at the foot of hills, aud refreshing to an Amer- n that has gone through the agony of trying to loliow a race at Epsom or Ascot, 1t is reireshing be- cuuse, stead of being English and irregular, up bill and down dale, and generally out of sight, the Deau- ville course resembles ours in all but the substitution of turf, which is a great improvement. Hore feeble racing takes place every year in August, and the grand stand, with the lawn at its foot, is filled with well dressed men and women of all nationalities, None but the well dressed can afford to be present, the prices of admission being twenty-five francs for a man and five francs for a womun, The absence of cheaper Btunds shows that Trouville harbors as few poor peo- | ple as beggars, and of the lutter there are none, As tue lawn is preferred to the stand the beau monde sits In chairs upon it, stands on the chairs during a race, apd promepades when there is nothing to watch, The male dressing is, as a rule, exceedingly bad, the con- trast between Englishmen and Frenchmen being greaily in favor of the lormer. Nor are the dresses of the women to be compared with the dressing at Ascot, where silks, suting and velvets startle the eye. Ascot, Lowever, is overdressed. Deauviileis much more sen- sible, but whoever goes there expecting to be as- tounded saving by a few bizarre toviettes invented by the demi-monde to set tongues wagging, had better stay away. CHEATING ON THE TURP, Almost all the jockeys, horses and bookmakers are English, Having languidly watched the last day’s sport of this season aod wondered bow people could coutrive to find excitement in it, I was waked up by a sieeplecbuse in which one borse was so unmistakably “pulled” that the crowd very nearly killed the jockey when he dismounted. His master,a French Count, bad bad bis horse run not to win, but the miserable cheat was too transparent, and the covdemnation of the Jockey Club las since been made known to the world, Counts, real and spurious, seem to ve at the bottom of most of the dishovorable deeds in France, Tne very last scunda! comes to me from Etretat, and, ts it involves America, is worth telling, 18 TROUVILLE NeWront? You naturally wisi to kuow how Trouville compares with our own Newport. It doesn’t compare. Contrast Trouville with other European watering places especially those of England, which combine more dorthoast winds with more formality and stupidity than itis possible for the average intélicct to con- ceive, and itis the gem of the sea, But Newport Stands alone. its southerly exposure, its Gontiguity to the Gulf Stream, render its climate charming all the year round. Trouville is only habitable from June until October. Newport is unique im its delightful cottage life and social intercourse, Its beaches are finer and its natural facilities for vathing greater, though the provisions made for bathing are more civilized here, Theroare pretty drives here in the interior, but never by any chance does a road skirt the sea, and anything like the Ocean avenue at | Newport is an impossibility, There !s no parattel to | the Newport Cliff walk, or to tho beautiiul rocks of | “Paradise,” or tothe charming harbor with 1ts pic turesque fort and still more picturesque Conunicut in the distacce. In water-life Trouville is utterly | deficient. As it is exposed to the open fea there are no rowboats, no sailboats, po yachts, only fishing smacks and the steamer that | | plies to Havre and back twiceaday, The Prince of Wales, who is now here, was obliged to leave bis yacut at Havre and take tue usual passenger bout owing to the state of the tide. It is only at bigh tide that Trouville 1s accessible to any vessel. Think of Newport barbor, gay with the white plumage of the New York Yacht Club, with great ships anchored off tne shore, with great steamers passing tuto the Sound, with Myriad boats flitting to and fro, No one who has passed a season at Newport will dream of finding its peer—at least no one in his senses, When Newport hus a fine Casino and proper bathing houses she wil satisfy every rational requirement, | LIFE ON THE BEACH. \ Life at Trouville is passed on the beach, which isa tort of Boulevard dea Italiens. Here are the Hotel des | Rochos Noires and the Casino. Here is, of course, the bathing—machines, drawn by horses, taking bathers down to tne sea and bringing them buck. Hero is tne promenading, hero the display of tollets and here the | gossip, Much 18 nid about the dressing people como here rather to save money than to spend it— | Freuch people, I mean, Americans and Russians are | the geese that lay golden eggs for tho hotel and shop keopers, the latter raising their prices beyond those of Paris, Trouville means la plage, the beach, Take hat away and nothing remains. Living on the beach neans living ina populous street, whero noboay has wytbing to do but to mind other people's business. To be observed When observation means not sy Is just being tortured— Mrs. Browning has written, and truly. Itis amusing to watch others make fools of themselves. It is not amusing to have one’s own folly put on constant ex- hibition, consequently Trouville is a place to visit for afew daysandthen to be caretully avoided, Thers are places nearby infinitely more attractive and ex- peedingly reasovabie, The const is lined with villa; some of which are very picturesque.

[From the Syracuse (N. Y.) Journal, Sept. 26.] The success of the Airican explorer, Stanley, bas been recoguized by the distinguished Oriental geog- raphor, Sir Rutherford Alcock, 1m a despatch to the former, which reads:— Ruthertord Alcock sends greeting, with hearty con- gravulations, on your safe retura and the special re- Bulls of your geographical exploration, ‘A Brooklyn gentleman suggests that Stanloy’s ser- vices to the civilized world in finding Livingstone, in settling the question of the Nile sources anu identify. ing the Lualaba with the Congo, entitle bim to the rec- cognition of tho United Stutes and Groat Britain at least, after the usual custom of commemorating reat avhieveme! by coining and bestowing medals in honor thereof. Tho suggestion is a good ovo, [From the San Francisco Bulletin, Sept. 19.] Some months ago wo referred to tho fact that Stan- who had made the most complete survey of Luke ‘Tanganyika, and haa corrected Cameron’s theory that there was a lurge outlet of the lake which formed an afMuent of the Lualuba, was about to take up tue work of exploration where Camoron left it, which was at Nyaugwe on the Lualuba, at about four degrees in south latitude, and in about the middle of the con- tinent. We quote from the opservations then made:— “Where the latter crossed at Nyangwo and went south, Stanley, at the Jast accounts, proposed to take up the work of original investigation, fe will prov- ably work his way down to the west coast through these aMuents of the Upper Congo, traversing a hithérto unexplored drainage of nearly a thousand milea If he lives he may be beard from near the mouth of the mighty Congo a year hence.” Cameron, when he reached Nyangwo found the Lualaba to be a river of not less than a mile in width, a yellow turbid stream flowing with a strong current. Wo gather irom hia description that, in its turbid char- acter and shilling sand bars, jt was not upike tho Missouri, while it carried a greater volume of water and {1s banks were lined with tropical foliage, if thie great river, in the heart of tnis continent, was vo more thaa an affluent of toe Congo, what must be the #ize of the latter river before it ished the ocean Cameron wanted to go dowa the Luslaba, tracing it to the Congo, and the latter stream to its mouth, or to a point about one hundred and twenty miles from the sea, whore there a Fortuguese settiement. But he found at Nyangwe one of the most powerful and stubborn chie!s he had en- countered, This chief told him that po white man hau ever explored the Lualaba below Nyangwe aud none ever would and return alive. No offer of pres- ents and no persuasion could make any impression on this savage. He had a strong and Well armed tribe numbering many thousands at his command, and us against Cumeron’s smail party bi ord was law, Liv- ingstene had been turned back at a point higher up and had not even settied in bis own mind whether tho Lualaba was an aillucat of the Congo pr some other greut river, Cameron reluctantly turned south, imal ing a deflection of more than four degrees irom ti line of his projected march and camo out onthe west coust at Benyuela. It is nearly a year ince the last letter of Stanley, bearing date, it we remember rightly, in October and published in New York as late as March, cave some account of his march from Lake Albert south over the high mountains dividing the waiersted of Laie Albert from that of Tanganyika, Stanley, besides nis regular force, had then 9 boty of 1,000 navive spearmen ip bi employ, and aiready had had many roagh encounter with the natives, Stauley undoubiedly kaew what ov- stacles be would havi face at Nyangwe. Ho knew Cameron had been turned aside age chief who was ready to kili tho tirst white man who overstepped the prescribed limits, From the brict telegrams we infer that this chtet endeavored to make good his threats, Poisoned arrows are even more faal than rile bulls, It must have been u stru,gle agaist a Jorce of natives hardly without a limit as to vumber, Cameron describes thew asa powertal tribe, having made considerable advance ip the arts, and possessing fleets of large Canoes, a statement cuntirmed by the fact that the; manned fifty-tour large cunces and put off to give Stanley battle. The most important fact to be gathered from the mougre despatch is that Stanley did go down the Lua- Juba, tracing it to the Congo, and tue latter river to hear its mouth, His explorations in this respect were the most important which have been nade in modern times. No white man bad beep over this ground un- less It might have. been a slave trader, ana it ts pot probable that any of 18 class of men brve more than seen glimpses of the country. We shall know soon something of the ‘climate of the great Congo and its affluents, a river which 1s said to carry more Water to the gen otner on the globe, save the Aina: The patches touching these explorations are provably jounded on letters which must have reached London, and which will shortly appear tn the Hexato Lt must be suid that Stanley, ia prosecuting his explorations, has not been mindful of the lives of natives, He bas probably sucriticed, first aud ast, more lives than all other A'rican explorers, Cameron's method was con. ciliatory, and he bad no force to make any other lin of conduct gale. No expiorer could baye gone down the affluents of the Congo and the main river without encountering the-bostility of the natives.

RAPID TRANSIT. THE BALL OF MITIGATION MECHANICALLY MOVINU—WHAT WAS DONE IN THE COURTS YESTERDAY--AN EFFORT TO BESUME WORK WITHOUT FURTHER LEGAL IMPEDIMENT. It was generally supposed that the recent decision of the Court of Appeals validating the charter of the Gilbert Elevated Ra.Jroad Company and sustaining the constitutionality of the Rapid Transit act would, for tho time beimg, puta quietus upon the horse rail- road men, who buve thus far been the most bitter and persistenepponents of this much needed public im- provement, Nevortheless these meu still continuo the contost with a stubborn determination worthy a better cause, As already published in the Henaun, a judgment in the Superior Court some time o recovered by the sixth Avenue Railroad Company against the Gilvert Elevated Railroad Company re- stramming the latter company from constructing their proposed road on Sixth avenue from Amity street to Filty-uinth street, chiefly on the ground that the so- called Rapid Transit act was unconstitutional. Judge Sedgwick, who wrote the opinion in the case, held that the Rapid Transit act was unconstitutioual; but in bis findings he found specifically that the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company would sustain special damages by reason of the builaing of the road, Judgment was entored on his ndings, and tue Court of Appeals, as is well known, receutly decided the Rapid Transit act to be constitue tional, and that the Gilbert Elevated Company has a right to have property concemned to its use. On thia degision a motion was made yesterday be- fore Judge Van Vorst, holding the Special Term of tho Superior Court in form, to stay all proceedings on tho judgment until the appeal which vas been taken tn thig cage is heard and decided, The object of the mo. tion, as avowed by Mr. G. P. Lowery, counsel for the Gilbert road, 18 to prevent any Interruption by pro- ceedings for contempt under the Juugmeat with tho building of the road. The plaimiifis in their argument claim that the main grounds on which the injuuction wus granted—viz., the private injury to the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company—bave not becn passed upon by the Court of Appeals, and the jadgmont should not be, therefore, suspended. The defendants aver that in spite of the judgment tn favor of the Gil- ort road on all the points prescuted in this cuse, they aro still restrained by this injunction irom carrying out the contracts which they had made, and they are certain that the General Term of the Supreme Court willdecide in their favor; that they havo large quantities of materials collected, and that great incouvenience to them and the public will result | from the stoppage of tke work, WHAT MB. BUTLER SAYS. Mr, Joseph H. Choate replied on benwlf of the Sixth Avenue Company by reading an aflidavit of the Presi- dent oft the company, Mr. P. K, Buller, which recites epecil damages that would be done to the plaintilfs as well a8 the injuries to other proporty boiders along the proposed route, and insists upon the plaintills’ contract with the city, aod renews the other urgu- ments already advanced; principally tuat, even i the act was conceded to be constitutional, it would be inoperative until di ge8 to the property owners were uppraiwged and awarded, whereas tho Gilbert Com- pany proposed to construct their roud without even offering any compensation. ‘The com- pany say that they have real ostate on Sixth avenue; that the question of damages wus never before the Court of Appeals; they deny that any work was done on the Gilbert road until aiter the action commenced, and say it was not doue by de- Jendants, but by aring of the officers and other inter- ested parties who formed a loan and improvement company and gota contract from the Gilbert Cot pany for construction at $2, 8 the said joan and improvement company contracted with the Eagemore Iron Company at $300,000 per mile, This absorption of the profits of the Gilbert Company would reuder it impossible for the property owners, if allowed, to recover compensation for damages. Mr. Lowery further stated that the main ground of Judge Sedgwick’s decision was removed by the Court of Appeals, aud they woald apply within a tow days to th 0 Supreme Court to have commissioners up- tatute to decide the damages which Sixth Avenue Company from tbe ted road, The injuries, he said, could only be the prevention of two or three story cars, woich had only recently been discovered to ve a Valuable franchise, Judge Van Vorst, after some further desultory arga- ment, concluded to adjourn tho case until next Tues- duy to consider the preliminary question as so whether Judge Sedgwick should not hear tue argument on the motion, and also to allow further affidavits to be put in on behalf of the defendants.

WHAT ARE ITS PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE ?— ITS PRESENT CONDITION. Early in Jave the project of forming a new cab com- pany was pushed forward witn a great deal of vigor, and it was promised that by the 1st of October 100 brougbatns and fiity hansoms would be in our streets, A number of English capitalats, iuctuding many well known names, were reporied to bo in the movement, and it was sald that not less than $150,000 English capital had been subsorived. The English stock- holders were represented by Mr. Frank Kavanagh, a relative ol a distinguished member of Parliament, who was understood to be tho prime mover in the project. For a time everything went swimmingly, and American infivence and Amerioeua capital were enlisted in the enterprise, Sixteen commissioners, including str. Kavanagh aod such of oar most public spirited citi. zens as Messrs. Jon Towashend, &. W, Forbes, Ettiott . Shepurd, Clarence F, Seward and Ferdinand P. Karie, were appointed to bave charge of the affuirs of the company and in every way to promote its tn- teresis, Unfortunately the 1st of October has nearly arrived, aud not ouly are the cabs not ready to be put ju the gtreets, but there Is no immediate promise that they will ve ready tv be placed there for some time to come, People are beginuing to write to the Hunaty asking for information as to the fate of the company— whether it has died a second ume or still lives, and When it goes mto operation, ‘The people,” writes ove of these lnquirers, ‘understood that the second company was a sure thing, and that we were to live in actvilized community and bave cheap and quick car- riage traueit to every part of the city, asin London and Paris.” Inquiry yesterday elicited the injormatiou that the cowpaty has not yet died, but tuat it sin a moribund state, aud that ‘a meeting of the commis. sivuers will be held op Saturday next to consider 1s condition, DELICATE CONDITION OF THE COMPANY, In conversation with a genticman who 15 one of the original subscribers to ihe stock and who was one of the most wctive promoters of the scheme, a Hexaiv Treporer learned that Just now the company isin a very precarious state. The delay in bringing tho English capusl bore bas bad a bad eifect aud wi probably, end in dissolving the combination of Amer joan gentleman who were anxious to in with tho English cupitalt. 1t wag tne impression of the Heraso's informant that a considerable part of this capitul was now paid in, but mquiry at the company’s bankers elicited the information that only a small part of it was paid, Nearly all the money subscribed by American capitalists bas been paid, but in itself this is notasuflicient sum With which to orgaaize thecompany and piace it on a working basis, Whatscneme will now be adopted fx uncertain, but itis understood that there are two projecis on foot, either of wi may give the city cheap cabs. waar TI M CAPITALISTS ARB DOING. Ono of these 13 sid to be a destgn of the English capitalists to unite with the cab company previously formed, und by merging both organizations into one concern to obtain suilicient capital with which to bes gin the enterprise. ‘This, of course, ts only satended in cage of the tailure of the original compimation; but itis said that negotiations have been already begun looking to that end. = Mr, Kavanagh has been 1 Phila. delpbia for some days, Where aconsiderable amount of capital bus been subscribed toward the onterprise, but the HxRaLp’s informant said he js still sanguine of ultimate succei he failure of the English capital to reach here in time to form the company and pluce the 18 goncrally cabs inthe strects by the lst uf U deplored, but if the English capitals subscriptions in suficient sums to warran prise it 18 believed that, in spite of the dis Which is the result of the delay, most of the American subscribers will continue with the company. If Mr. Kavanagh’s company fails altogether, a ques. tion which 1s likely to be determined within the present week, then it 1s suid that the commissioners will oither form another company or pay back tho money which has already been paid in. The desire of forming an American company enurely independent of the English capitalists seems to have taken strong hold upon some of tho original trienas of the Kuglish scheme, so anxious are they to promote # cheap cab system in New York, but if (here 1s the slightest bupe of (ne suc cess of tho English schome they wil not place aoy obstacies in the way.

SHORT DRESSES FOR THE STREET. A Few Items That Will Interest Doting Husbands and Fathers. NEW STYLES IN GLOVES AND JEWELRY. . a s The East has been content with mere imitation in dress, and, a8 a consequence, there is @ lack of all Character and expression ip their costumes, On the other hand, the French and, to a great extent, Ameri- have Jearnea the secret of the true philosophy of dross, and their ladies are deservedly complimented upon their taste and skill in this department, “Kuow thyself,” is a maxim apropos to this subject, for, a8 it 18 necdtul to adjust and select totlets ace cording to age, form and position, so 1 18 also incum- bent upon us to make ourselves aware of the defects which are to be concealed or softencd. Tho style of carriage, height and other proportions of the wearer, as wellas peculiarities of complexion, are the important considerations that present them. selves immealately to an artistic and skillul modiste, when about to prepare a costume, 1t 18 quito a matter of concern to many ladios how they sball dress when thoy h passed the boundaries of youth and have reached the more sober, staid and matrouly condition of middle age. Dress and care of themsoives bave much to do with keeping women young, with making them attractive, even after they have grown old. It is not well tu dress youthfuliy when they are no longer young, but it is perfectly Proper to to dress vecomingly. It 1s certainly not necessary, because one does not wish to wear white muslin to pat on sackcloth and ashes, All the styles oft dress fashionabie at the present dey are particu. larly suited to middle-aged women. The dark tints, aud solid and rich materials, medo in the princess dregs, the long close fitting sack, the stylish coat dresses, the handsome dolman and prine cess polonaise, aro all beautiful for the middle-aged woman. The stylish woman of fifty mi wear an evening dress of ivory silk, trimmed with dark velvet and enriched with point lace and flowers, and look quite in harmony with it; while a white dress, flimsy and badly made, upon a woman who “looks” her age, worn upod a common occasion, would render her an object of ridicule, Many Jadies, in order to be on the safe side, in- trench themselves in black—very woll, it Is lo; but it should be as good as possible, and relieved with handsome collar or protty lace fichu and delicate ribbons judiciouly bestowed. Tho soft white lisse plaitings a\neok or wrisis are very softening and beautilying to a skin which has no longer tho firmn oss and whitness of youth, and every woman can woar them. If lisse is too expensive buy the cheap net “footing,” plait it up fine and full, and always have it fresh and clean. AUTUMN TOILETS, The stylish costumes of dark biue or green, trimmed with wide white braid, occasionally intermixed with a thread of gold, are very effective; and tho close cut of the long polonaise, the princess sweep of the small train, adds grace and beauty to the figure, THE DRITANNY DRESS, WITH VAGARIES, The Breton design of summer dress bas given rise to some extremely graceful and dignified styles of dress which now appear in fresh fabrics and without tho figured braids and olusters of buitons which were uni- yorsully seen upon the Orst Breton models A polo- paise called the Breton is handsomely ropresented in black silk and volvet. It ts also copied in wool bourette and silk and trimmed with embossed galloon, with clairdo june jets or with silk embroidery on bias bands. THE PRENCH COAT DRESS, This style of dross ts newer than the princess form, but only adapted to an elegant and striking toile, Some of these coats are cut square on the sides, and they assist to form a very good reproduction of Henry IL. styles, A HANDSOME WALKING DRESS. The very latest Paris production in short walking dresses has just veep imported by Mme, Allis, and is the prettiest and most stylish thing out. It is of dark brown camel's hatr clotu, with skirt just escaping the ground, and trimmed with knite plaiting six inches in width, headed with a wide bias bava, The overskirt, With rounded tablier, is noticeable jor its peculiar cut, wad is without trimming except a bias band matching the skirt, A plaited waist with yoke froutis wora with uw beit; bul tne real novelty of the suit 1s shown in the outside garment, woicu is simply a gentieman’s footer’ cout, This is entirely without trimming, the jocket, lapels, collar, cufls and edge bound with'c ort walking dross has already bi adopted by in Paris, and there is rengon for rejoicing. Ina ime American ladies will be tripping about the Land pretty costume, and bedraggled passed from view once again, Cer- tainly no co-tume for the street could be more suit- able and agreeable, at leust to the male tex, than the short walking suit, It has been said that women dress to please not themselves as much as men, No man of good taste, certainly no man of good sense, could ad- mire u fashion in every way #0 reprebeusible as train skirts for the street.

GREEN, Dark green costumes will be tashionably worn, ine cluding dark green petticoats, bosiery, falt bats aud trimming, The petticoats are enlivened with igures of embroidery, in which all the bright colors are intro- duced, and the hats have pretty bright featners and gilt ornaments. THE “CAMILE BASQUE,”’ Quite new in style and well adupted to two materials is the “Camilo.” It simulates a vest, bas a quaint and very dressy show and may used to advantage in making over an old handsome dress in combination with new materials; but it is also most strikingly suited to a stylish contrast of shades in new rich tabrics. Among the new basques suitable to be worn, either for home or street, is the “Deipb.ne,” which 1s long and tight fitting, double breasted, having the fronts Japped from rigut to left and worn with a belt attached al the side scams and fastened iniront This design is most effective When used in a combination of diffor- ent materials or colors and is appropriate for a great vartely of goods; , however, il desired, be made of ove material alone aud the trimmings varied to cor- respond with tn yds solected.

THE CUSTEK It MONUMENT—SHALL BE ERECTED? To tux Evitor or tae Hera Ig it truo that the Amoricans fail to acknowledge the great services of our benefactors ; that we do not appreciate the deeds of our heroes, and that we forget to perpetuate their virtues and valor in either history, poetry or art? When the European travoller walks through the great avenues of our national capital be looks in vain for the statues of those illustrious men whose names aro interwoven with the bistory of our civilization. He asks for Fulton, Morse, Irving, Clay, Webster and Beuton; but they are not to be found. Robert Fulton, tbe inventor of the steamboat, sleeps in Trinity Churchyard without slab or stone to mark his grave, and Moree and Irving, omo the father of the telegraph, aud tho other the tathor of American liter: no suitavle monuments to tell the rising gon their genius and achievements, There are privat soldiers on our streets aud on our farms who have fought through bail a hundred battles, who pass u- noticed from day to day, In Europe such men would be covered witn honorable medals and crosses of all the erders of the day; they would be honored with place and profit, We all remember the genuin which was expressed for the heroic Custer, and the intention wuich was shown all over the country to erect @ Monuinent to his memory and ty with him, But it seems that the incomparable cou age, the terrific battle and tne awiul sacrifice of ¢) eventtul day have been forgotten; not one soldier wi left to write its history, aud now as the relatives and friends of the martyrs see silence on every side they may well exclaim, “Republics are Indeed ungrateful !”? Our American orators allude to Leonidas at Ther- pe ne dane Bruce at Bannockburn, Napoleon at Lodi, Macdonald at Wagram, Ney at Waterloo and Nolan Balaklava with his six hundred. utthe matchies: American, in the valley of dred, every man dead on gotten, Vur histori it poots hi nearly all former heroes in story and the martyr hero, is unsiatued and unsung, Still bis name 1s in the van of tho world’s herocs, Not even Gallic Henry's spotless plume, nor crest of peerless born Bayard, nor yet De Leon’s stainless biade, nor banner of Templars Knights outshine the stars that gleamed on Custer’s battle flag on that fateful field.

Let thero be two w sides of the pedestal, one the genius of liverty mou ing for her son, the other the gonius of history wita an open book lying on her knees, but ber face val and without pen or stylus in her band. These three figures with a suitable pedestal of granite would eost about $12,500. A statue of Custer with plain pedostal would cost about $6,500, or even less if the size were reduced from coloxsal proportions, It ter could have been consulted as to where he would havo had his statue placed he would huve chosen West Point above all otuer places, and there can be no question but that it would be the most appropriate place; indeed, out. side of the national capital, it 1 the only locality have for our war heroes, But, be this as it may, what ‘we want now is to know how much money thore is on hand, who has charge of the matter, how mucn more can ve raised if thore is not enough, and what can be done toward seleciing a sculptor to go on with the work, A committee composed ot, say William C, Bry- ter Cooper, General Hancock, Algernon S.
