| TIE LINCOLN MoNUMENT-The state
ment that the Lincoln monument was to
ne constructed of Tennessee marble is in
;orrect, and Quincy, or some other good
sranite has been approved by Mr. Mills.
The architect. The monument is to be
evenly feet III hight, and of triangular
form, with truncated angles anG embraces.
in addition to the main column, crowned
oy a colossal bronze statue Of Abraham
lincoln, represented as in tie act of sign
ing the emancipation proclamation. Two
oa9tions are thrown out from the base OF
the angles, and on each bastion an eques-
trian statue Will be poi-ei The eques-
TRANS will be Generals Grant, sherman,
sheridan, Wadsworth, George H. Thomas
md Howard. There will be twenty-five
colossal bronze statues of statesmen, phi
Lanthropists and civilians Those so far
selected, are Chief Justi,e Chase, Seward
tnd Stanton, Stephen i. Douglass Rev
Matthew Simpson and Henry Ward Bee
cher as representatives. Of the loyal pulpit.
. -. ttli u Ssi tent Oh the 1IEIS-
tan Commission; DR.. H. W Bellows,
President of the United States Sanitary
Commission Frederick Douglas, as a
representative of the liberated slave
There viii also be a figure representing a
private soldier, and statue of the lat,
Ihadleus Stevens. The work of woman
IN the struggle for the national preserya-
'ion will be represented by statue OF
America caring for her disabled soldiers
There will be three groups Of ailegorical
figures representing the establishment.
progress and abolition of slavery. and
three figures representing Time, Liberty
and Justice, and making in all six eques-
trlan and thirty-one pedestrian colossal
bronze statues. In b4sso relieve will APP
pear the Firing upon Fort Sumptcr, the
surrender Of the Confederate armies, and /
the United States Senate and House OF |
representatives voting upon the amend |
uent to the Constitution abolishing slave /
~, and establishing equal rights Iftheir /
friends are diligent enough in subscribing |
money, the whole Cabinet of Mr. Lincoln /
will be accommodated on the monument
Each equestrian figure will cost $4,000, +
md each pedestrian figure $l2 900. Con- /.
srcss having appropriated bronze for these
igures, i'll the form of cannon captured .
rom the Confederate army, the cost to the
association is reduced to that extent
bout one-half. There is, therefore, to be
'aised for each equestrian figure the sum
# $4,000, and for each pedestrian figure
he sum of $4,000. There are likely TO be
many ambitious aspirants for the balance

PRoTEcrIoN.-Mr. John Kyle, of Pc
terson, \. j., proprietor Of one Of the silk
mills, has started "A protective society,
whereby each hand pays two cents per
week, and this small sum thus far has
been sufficient to pay full wages to any OF
the girls who were really sick and unable
to work.
Excursion TIcKErs-A commendabIe
step has been taken by the officers of
various railroad companies in the South
crn States. To foster as much az possible
the disposition, already quite decided
on the paat of Northern capitalists to in
vest in the cheap lands and mines of the
South, they have held convention and
resolved to issue excursion tickets over
their respective railroads at low rates of
fare, and If possible to induce hotel
keepers to entertain the holders of such
tickets at reduced prices. At this season
of the year no pleasanter journey can be
made than from our bleak climate to that
of the Sunny South, and it is to be hoped
that the-facilities for making it, so liber-
ally offered may be as freely availed of.

FIRE At EssEX-BURNING OF ESSEX
AcADEMY.-Essex Centre was visited by
severe fire between nine and ten o'clock
on Saturday evening, by which the
Academy building was wholly destroyed
1t is reported that the fire caught from
stove left heated for the purpose of drying
one of the rooms which had been cleaned
during the day. The building was pro-
badly the best academy building in the
county, being a large structure of brick,
well adapted to its uses 1t was owned
by Mr.. Sanderson, the principal, whose
loss must be some $4,000 or $4,000. The
school was fourishing one, and the loss
to the community will be severe. The
fire lit up the whole horizon, and was
visible for many miles around.
So says Mondays Free Press.

EFFECT OF GEN. GRANTS SPEECH
Gen. Grants remarks are the almost ex-
elusive topic of conversation here in Off
cial and in private circles. The speech, if
speech it may be called, is almost unani-
mously approved, and the utterance of
such facts and reasons just at this time
will do much good. Gen. Grants reasons
for not making public his Cabinet inten-
lions are accepted as satisfactory, and will
do much to allay the anxiety on this sub
ject, especially as people learn from Gen.
Grants own lips that he has not wanted
for advice and suggestions on Cabinet
matters.

Across the River.

BY LUCY LARCoM.
When for me the silent oar
Paris the Silent River,
And stand upon the shore
Of the strange Forever,
Shall I miss the loved and known?
Shall vainly seek mine own?
Mid the crowds that come to meet
Spirits sin-forgiven-
Listeniug-to the echoing feet
Down the streets Of heaven
Shall know tootstep near
That listen, wait Tor, here?
Then will one approach the brink
With hand extended,
One whose thoughts | loved to think,
Ere the veil was rended,
Saying, Welcome We have died,
And again are side by side. y
Saying. II will go with thee,
That thou be not lonely,
To yon hills OF mystery;
have waited only
Until now TO climb with thee
Yonder hills of mystery.
Can the bonds that make US here
Know ourselves immortal,
Drop away, like foliage scar,
At hie's inner portal?
What is hottest below
Must forever live and glow.
| shall love the angels well,
After | have found them
In the mansions where they dwell,
With the glory round them;
But ct first, without surprise,
Let me look in human eyes.
Step BY step our feet must go
Up the holy mountain;
Drop by drop within US flow
Lilies untaling fountain.
Angels sing with crowns that burn;
We shall have song to learn.
He who on our earthly path
Bids us help each other
Who his we'll beloved hath
Made our Elder Brother
Will but clasp the chain of love
Closer when we meet above.
Therefore dread | not to go
Ger the Silent River.
Death. thy Fastening oar | know;
Bear me, thou Lite giver,
Through the waters, to the shore
Where mine own have gone before?
