A MEMORIAL IN BRONZE.

'sHonOr to tho Noble Dead''-Erection Of Lin
coins Statue in Union Square Yesterday.
The Lincoln statue IN Union square, so long talked
about was yesterday elevated 10 Its assigned posi-.
ton at the southwest corner Of the square, near the
junction Of Broadway and University place. It Is
thus as 1t were, the companion statue to that of
Washington, located at the southeast angle There
were no Inauguration ceremonies such as are usually
held over public works OF this character, and very
little interest seemed to be excited among the pass
ers by. hasty look, short and pithy crti-
cism, and the reflection either uttered in
words or no less plainly expressed upon
the features "Wel. II ever o man deserved
statue 1t was Lincoln" seemed to be tlA usual
routine Of action with the stream Of people who were
going up or down town.
The pedestal upon which the statue stands con-
ssts Of three huge blocks Of gray granite The lowest
and largest OF these Is said to be the heaviest mass
OF stone ever quarried In this country. 1t weighs
the upper 5000 pounds. This last block Is adorned
with circle OF stars Altogether the pedestal in
twenty.four feet In height.
is bronze colossal figure OF President Lincoln,
eleven feet in .anedg height The President &
q large loose cloak IS SS thrown over over
s IN IN MI MS s left h hand which is lying
Emancipation Proclamation, and his right hand is
drawn up at right angles to the body, clutching
tightly one corner Of mis- cloak. The face is won.
derfully lfelike and is overspread with an air OF
grave and thoughtfui kindness which seems to
exactly express the prevalent feature of that dear
and well known cOuntenance.
II must be confessed. however, that the statue Is
extremely Disappointing COntrasted with the
noble figure of Washington at the opposite corner
OF the square, 1t appears TO be unworthy indeed OF
him who has not been inapproprately termed .iThe
Second Saviour OF His Country and this feeling
remains even after one has carefully laid by any
prejudice that may be excited by the repulsve tint
OF the new bronze, and the unspeakabe ugliness OF
modern costume. There Is painful want or dignity
and q stiffness and ungracefulness about the new
figure, and, however lelike the latter fhature may
be- 1t the duty OF the artist to have thrown 1t IN
the background. AS to the first trait, no one who
enjoyed the priceless boon Of having heard Lincoln
dever his more memorable speeches would be salts
fed with the tame and vacant air OF the new statue.

Many females suffer in some way at each
monthly period; some girls are in great
peril at the commencement of Renstruation,
while older ones dread It's decline at the
turn of life Sometimes the menstrual
how is too much, or too little, OF may be
attended with pain may be irregular or en-
tirey checked, or changed in appearance,

Leucorrhoea, or the "WhItes," frequently
drains the system, or liberation of the womb
may create pain and cause rapid prostration.
Falling of the womb Is an exceedingly
common complaint, giving much trouble
and distress, which, under ordinary treat
ment, is difficult to cure
Mysteries. Green Sickness, Irritability of
the Womb, and other serious and fatal com
