WASHINGTON NATIONAL MoNuNENr.--.The
managers of the Washington National Monu.
ment have hit upon plan in connection with
the Crystal Palace Exhibition which will be
likely to be successful in securing handsome
addition to their funds. The New York Com
mercial says
THE managers have appointed a special a.
gen, to receive the contributions at the Crystal
Palace. A model of the monument is placed
there for exhibition, and around it are contri.
button boxes, of plate glass, SO that each visi.
tor may have an opportunity Of casting his
mite into the fund for the completion of the
work. The monument has been built up to
the height of 1872 feet. and when completed
it will be 600 feet high The total estimated
cost is ,OOO, 900, and 100000 have already
been expended If each visitor at the exhibi
ton contributes ten cents, it is supposed that
sufficient funds will be thus raised to complete
the structure. Perhaps ifthe agent provides
a box for each State Of the Union, and each
foreign nation. whose industry is represented
in the fair, a generous rivalry may be excited
as to which can contribute the most towart
the erection of monument to the memory o

The powers of attack of Russia are limited to

to command, her ports would be closed, her

give fresh intensity to the war. From Persia,
on the one side, to Poland and Finland on the
other, the colossal empire Of Russia is assaii-

to a speedy and successful termination, but
the same facts and considerations will, ne

against the folly and wickedness Of causing
such war to take place at all. The Empsro
