soldiers Monuments.

In many counties of the State, as we
learn from the country press, movements
are on foot for the erection of suitakR
monuments to commemorate the heroisL
af the immortal dead who fell in defence
of the Union. Among our Northern
Ohio counties, Medina, perhaps, has &C
eomplished most in this direction, but the
people of q number of counties have held
meetings and formed associations for the
purpose of furthering this object. In ad-
dition. some States have ~inaugurated
measures for the accomplishment of this
patriotic purpose, and it is in contemplation
to rear a national marble upon the Gettys-
burgh battlefield. All these enterprises
are patriotic and worthy, and we allude to
them with hope that Cuyahoga county
may be stimulated to effort in this direc-
ton. This is due to the martyred heroes
she sent forth to battle and to death, and
whose bones rest beneath the sod of a
land far away from the loved persons and
scenes of home. The National Govern
ment is doing all in its power, drought the
Qnartermaster's Department, to collect
the sacred dust of its fallen defenders, for
interment in national cemeteries, to be ar
ranged at suitable points contiguous to the
great fields of strife. 1t is gratifying to
know that the remains of most of our
loved dead will thus be removed to more
appropriate resting places but it is asource
of regret that the dust of thousands upon
thousands of the country's defenders must
remain inaccessible to loving ones at
home. In honor of these, and commem-
orative of their self-sacriicing patriotism
and heroic devotion to the right, let the
monumental pile be reared, as a perpetual
reminder of the debt we owe to those who
died that the nation might live.
No county in Northern Ohio has exhib-
tied such indifference on this subject as
has Cuyahoga. Will not some one move?
To begin is half the work. What infu-
entail citizen will inaugprate the benef-
cent measure? There can be no doubt
about the willingness of our citizens to
contribute freely for such a patriotic pur-
pose. In the absence of a movement on
the part of some philosophical citizen,
let the Mayor or City Council take the
responsibility of leading, for the city is
deeply interested in the consummation of
this measure Such q monument as
should be erected would adorn Monument
tai Park and add much to the attractions
Of the city, besides rejecting honor upon
the country at large.

CapitOIIne Gossip Pretty Waiter

Ltrom the New YORK World
A bill has been introduced depressing
pretty waiter-girl saloons. In connection
with this subject I am reminded of the
means adopted not many winters since to
defeat a bill of somewhat similar nature
The measure having been introduced,
shortly afterward there appeared upon the
scene a dozen pretty waiter girls, all ar
rayed for the tug of war. These young la
dies put up at a house without pretentions
as a hotel, but that only served their pur-
pose better. 1t was not long before several
keen fellows-members of the House.
found out the new attraction, and for q
day or two Tom, Dick and Harry were
constant attendants at the aforesaid hotel.
Each man prided himself upon possessing
q great secret.
Finally a sleigh-rids was arranged be-
tween two honerables and two of the girls,
and away went the party at the appointed
hour in gallant style toward Troy. AT
nine o'clock supper was to be ready at a
certain establishment near Albany, but
what was the establishment of the last
couple upon being escorted to the supper
room to find eleven other couples, the
males all legislators and the females all
pretty waiter girls. All religiously prom
ised to keep the secret. Next night an
other party went out with the same result,
and SO it was managed, until in one way
or another enough members had been
caught in the net to insure the peaceful
exit of the bill.
But the secret leaked out, and a GENTLE
man, who had not been caught, introduced a
resolution of inquiry. The utmost indig-
nation was expressed that only common
rumor should be the basis of such a reso-
luton the proposition was voted down

now pretty well disseminated over Geor-

The Man whom Grant DispIaced-An

The Springfield (Ill.) Journal gives the
following interesting sketch of the man
who was the predecessor of General Grant
in his first military Office during the war:
"0ur readers will probably remember

Decatur, was made Colonel of the 21st
Illinois Infantry, at Nation, and was
subsequently, dropped by Governor Yates

Tribune quite a romantic story about him.
at seems that after undergoing many
strange and startling vicisitudes of life, and
bufeting the dark waves of adversely and
misfortune, he has at ength become a
wealthy and titled gentleman. By the
death of his cousin, Sir Jasper Goode, who
recently died at York, England, he has
fallen heir to estates the rental of which
amounts to three thousand pounds ster-
ling, and also succeeds to the title by in
heritance.
The incidents and adventures through
which this singular individual-now Sir
Samuel S. Goode-has passed, would fill a

of nineteen he was a midshipman in the
Texan navy, then engaged in the war of
independence with Mexico, aad was pro-

Lopez war he commanded a company, was

officer, who became ensmoured of him,
opening the prison door.

The Connict at Richmond, KENTUCKY.

The following account of a desperate
ARRAY, at Richmond, Kentucky, appears
in the Lexington Observer: aOn last
Saturday, being the day for the election of
State Senator and Representative in
Madison county, two families, one named
Kavanaugh and the other Parish, met in
Richmond, when an old luminosity, caused
by the Parishes some two years ago, by
beating and very seriously maltreating
the father of the young Kavanaughs, who
were in the rebel army. w have been
informed that the Parishes, who are a
desperate set, have been lording it over
the country, receiving in their conduct the
support of the military, which being now
removed, the young Kavanaughs deter
mined to bring them to account for their
brutal treatment of their father. They
met in Richmond on Saturday afternoon,
when the difficulty was commenced BY
one of the Parishes firing the first shot at
Hump. Kavanaugh, when the ARRAY be-
came general, resulting in the killing of a
youth named Doty, a nephew of Kavan-
auSh, and seriously wounding both of the
Kavanaughs, one of the Parishes, and
Arch. Maupin, though the latter, we IN
derstand, was in no way connected with
the affair, the shot he received being pure

American Actors n Actresses.
Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial
1t is remarkable how largely of late
years the English stage has had to draw
upon the resources of American histrionic
talent. Indeed, nearly all the great the
atrical successes have latterly been achieved
by Americans. First came Sothern, a true
American, though not bosn on the soil.
His popularity has never been surpassed
by any actor of ancient or modern times.
He has Just returned to town after starring
the provinces and his reception was one
of unbounded welcome. He is acting in
"Brother Sam" Have you ever heard
what a splendid fortune Sothern is rolling
up? He gets $3.50 a night and for sew
eral years his receipts have equalled the
modest little sum of $4,000 per year. He
lives in a very fashionable quarter of Lon
don, not ostentatiously, but elegantly, has
the best literary and artistic company,
stands up for America like a man, and is
altogether a generous and glorious fellow.
In the season he rides one of the finest
horses that are to be seen in Rotten Row.
Next in the order of success is Miss Bate
man. She has made an immense sum of
money, and has Just taken her leave of
the English stage, amid the most compli-
mentary demonstrations. She has now re-
turned to America, where she is soon to
be married and leave the stage forever
If she eGni I hardly like to mention Miss
Menken in this connection, yet it can not
be doubted that in a certain low, coarse
and immodest style of acting, she has had
great success. Last summer John E.
present Mr.. Jefferson, in rip Van Win
kle," is giving to crowded houses, for over
the hundredth time in the Adelphi, that
specimen of wonderful acting which has
extorted the most enthusiastic praise from
the whole press and the public. Finally,
on Tuesday night, the proprietor of the
Surrey Theater, who emulates the enter
prise of other London managers in get
ting over American talent, announced the
early appearance of "that distinguished
American actress, Miss Avonia Jones'"
