on both sides who fell in the fierce struggle of
battle and who sleep silent in their graves

the House carried their scrupes SO far as to re-

many, but it was probably rather fidelity to
principle that led them to exercise self-denial
than an exaggerated conception of the impor-
lance of the proposed measure. 1t is fact
that there is good deal of old fashioned hon

The WASHINGTON MONUMENT. The Wash
ington Chronicle makes some Interesting
statements in relation to the monument to
the memory of Washington, the unfinished
condition of which is national disgrace The
Washington National Monument Association
was organized in 1888, the late Chief Justice
* hn Marshall being the first president The
plan selected was an obelsls SIT feet in height
and pantheon and a base. The foundation of
the obelisk was laid eighty-one feet square
and it is to contract as it rises SO as to be six
ty one feet square at the top. The walls are
twenty five feet thick and cased with solid
marble. The estimated total cost is 81 222 OOO
The corner stone was laid in 1913, the funds of
the society at that time amounting to $S7 900.
Robert G. Winthrop, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, delivered the address on the
occasion. In the'course of about six years it
was raised to the height Of about 40 feet, but
little more than one third of its proposed ulti-
mate elevation, The expenditure up to that
time amounted to $230,OO0. The work was
then suspended from lack of means, and has
not been continued since - 3'i t iut}'4

The CENTRAL CHURcH.-The Central Par
lsh held meeting last evening in their vestrry
for the purpose of giving Rev. Mr.. Frink of
MT. Vernon, N. H., a call. The church held a
meeting previously and voted, without a dis
senting voice, to give the gentleman a call to
be their pastor. This fact was communicated
to the parish meeting, and every member voted
to agree with the church in extending this
call. "A committee was chosen to act in con-
junction with the church committee to inform
Rev. Mr.. Frink of these meetings. They voted
salary of two thousand dollars per year.
There was great unanimity of feeling both in
church and parish, and there see ms to be no
doubt but Mr.. Frink will accept the call. We
understand Mr.. Frink is young man of fine
abilities, pleasing address and excellent char
acter We congratulate this church and so
ciety on the bright prospects before them.
They also voted to withdraw the offer thew
made the Third Parish, and consider it no
longer open for acceptance, as that society had
rejected it. rs uAssssE 81 Kisfles 15{l

THE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION AT WoR-

vocates of prohibition, on the one hand and
of a license law, on the other, will be one of
The most earnest that ever occurred in Massa-
chusetts is made more than ever apparent by
the proceedings of the Worcester Temperance
Convention, on Tuesday. The attendance was
very large, 276 towns being represented by
1857 delegates. We gather from the inordi-
nately lengthy resolutions and the remarks of
the speakers, that the temperance men will not
hear OF any subordinatiOn of their principles
to questions of national Importance They
will, however, so far sacrifice their preju-
dices as to vote for Gov. Bullock, though he ha
not committed himself fully to prohibition
But in the selection of municipal officers and
especially of members Of the legislature, they
will give their support only to men who are
thoroughly in sympathy with them. Rev.

The RUMoRs about letters received from
Senator Fessenden at Washington, announc-

the President, are incorrect. We learn that he
has never alluded to the subject except that IN
letter to his brother, in reply to direct IN
quiry, he has contradicted the previous runors
and reaffirmed what he has repeatedly SAID IN
the Senate, tint in his opinion it would be UNI
becoming TO preiudse case which he may be

after witnessing Marietta Rayels performance
at Deering Hall last evening, we are inclined
to agree with the statement 1t not only runs
IN the blood, but it was made manifest in every
fibre Of the flesh. If ever the "poetry of mo-
ton was adequately illustrated, we conceive
it was in the person of the most accomplished
OF the above celebrated family last evening, in
the dance of La Madrilani." Nothing could
exceed the graceful evolntions of this unrival-

captive the imagination and bewildered admit
ration. And yet, throughout, she is natural
What she does seems to be spontaneous and
without studied effect, and no one can sit I'M
moved as be watches this sylph from Sunny

her acting is that she does not desire to draw
attention to herself, and there is a propriety of
department about all her efforts that never fail
to elicit respect.
