The handle which is made OF solid silver, rep

"The terrible fire kept up by lieutenant Ridge

can silk made at the factory of Mrs. Sisco.
The belt plate is of solid silver, heavily gilt,
and represents an eagle Perched OH pile of
cannon balls amid a halo of glory, crowned
with a wreath of aurels and surrounded with
embems of war. The blade of the sword was
made by Mr.. Samuel Jackson, and the etching
of the ornamental part executed by MIR. War
ner. The whole of the above was done in the
es Adjustment of Messrs. A. Z. Warner s. Son.
The North Point Monument. There is no
more appropriate time than the present, TO call
the attention of our citizens to the condition of
the proposed Monument at the Battle Ground,
North Point Some few years since, a great
procession was gotten up, and the corner stone
of what was to be magnificent Monument
was laid, with great pomp and ceremony, and
there lays that corner stone this day, without
another having been placed upon it. A mud
hole surrounds the spot, and frogs bask in the
sunshine upon what was intended as the first
stone of a magnificent pile. Something should
be done to finish what was so nobly begun, or
strangers will say that the pride Of the inhabi-
tants Of the "Monumental City, has departed
from them. Let move be again made to-
wards finishing it, and the present Twelfth
will be most appropriate time for begin
ing, Who will move in the matter?
The I2h Of SEPTEMBER From the prepare
tons being made by the "Associaton of De-
tenders OF Baltimore in 1914, "and the Military
at large, we doubt not but the approaching 10th
Of September, will be honored more than any
past one for many years. We are glad to see
so much interest taken in the proper ceebra-
ton of a day, which should not only be remem-
bered with pride and satisfaction, by every Bal
timorean, but by every Marylander, for it is tie
anniversary of day on which freemen nobly
drove hireling crew from our shores, and de-
feated the boasts of one of Engand's best G G.
nerals We hope then that the suggestion
which has been made through the papers, will
be carried out, and that the stores will be clos
ed, in order to permit all to share in the gene
raj celebration.
