SOLDIERS MONUMENT MEETING.-The
meeting of the soldiers monument committee,
held last evening, was not so fully attended as
the last one held nearly four years ago, when
Mayor Blake presided, and the plan of a
triumphal arch was unanimously adopted !;
still there was a good turnout. Hon. George
w. Richardson, the treasurer, was called to the
chair pro TEN, and George Crompton, Esq,
was chosen TO the Craftsmanship of the general
committee TO fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death of Mr.. Blake. Two vacancies in the
executive committee, caused by death, were
filled, so that it is now composed of the follow
ing persons: George Crompton, E. B. Stod-
dard, Charles A. Chase d. NJ. Woodward,
Joseph Chase, r. NJ. Gould, L. L. Davis, H.
A. Marsh.
1t was suggested by member of the general
committee that Randolph Rogers, the celebrated
American sculptor, had arrived in this country
from Italy for the purpose of experimenting
the completion of the beautiful soldiers monu-
ments he has made for the states of Michigan
and Rhode Island, and that it would be an easy
matter to secure his attendance at meeting of
the committee to listen TO his valuable sugges-
lions on matter he has studied so faithfully
The executive committee were authorized to sub
init plan or plans of a soldiers monument at
the next meeting of the general committee,
after which the committee adjourned to meet at
the call of the chairman. The funds on hand
amount to about $4,000, not enough, of
course, to build suitable monument.
Roam RACE
previous to the college regatta at Springfield, ].
J. OLeary of this city announced his intention
of challenging the winner of the single scull
race arranged by the Springfield club. He
went to Springfield and did challenge Ellis
Ward, who won that race of two miles in the
remarkably quick time of Hap. O'Leary's
proposition was for a three or five mile race on
Lake Quinsigamond for $500 a side, he to allow
$50 for expenses. Mr.. Ward was willing to
make the match if the stakes were raised to
$1,000 side; but 0'Leary stated that $500 was
the limit of his funds, and he must eonfine him
self to that amount. No match was made at
that time for this reason; but Mr.. Ward
through his brother, the famous Josh Ward,
who acted as spokesman-stated that he would
consider the matter, and give his answer within
two weeks. Yesterday, telegram was received
from New York stating that the challenge had
been accepted, the race to be rowed within
three weeks from July Goth. The race will be
the event of the season among boating men,
Ellis Ward being the recognized Coming man.
for champion, and his race at Springfield proved
him to be an uncommonly good oarsman. Mr.,
OLeary's private performances on the lake
over the full two and three mile courses are such
as to warrant his friends in backing him against
the best men in the country. His performance
in Boston, fourth of July, must not be taken as
criterion of his abilities. Anticipating the
match, O'Leary has already engaged Mr.. I. G
Butler of Boston to come on and train him fol
the coming contest.

The Saviour as Described by a RO.
man Governor.

AT the period when the fame Of Jesus
Christ began to spread in Judea, Publius
Lentus. who was then its Governor, wrote
10 the Roman Senate:
There is here, at the present time, a
man Of singular virtue, who is called
Jesus Christ; the barbarians esteem him
as prophet, but his sect adore him as
descendant Of the immortal gods. He
restores the dead to life, and heals dis
eases by word and by his touch. He
is Of tall and graceful stature, his as
pect is mild and venerable His hair is
Of color which cannot be described,
falling in ringlets below his ears, and
spreading over his shoulders with infinite
grace. He wears it parted on the top of
his head, after the manner of the Nazar-
enes, His forehead is broad and smooth,
his cheeks are tinged with lovely bloom.
His nose and mouth are admirably regu-
lar; his beard bushy, and of the same
color as his hair, descends an inch below
the chin, and, separated in the middle,
it assumes the form Of fork. His eyes
are beautiful, sparkling, clear and vivid.
He reproves with majesty, and his ex-
hortations are full of sweetness; whether
he speaks or acts, he does all with elo-
quence and gravity. He has never
been seen to laugh, but has often been
known TO weep. He is very temperate,
very modest, and very wise. In word,
he is man who by his great beauty and
his divine perfections, surpasses the
children OF men"

Good Nature.

DR.. Holland in seribper's for November.I 4.
We have no special admiration Of the
loneliness Of an Englishman regarding
the sacred right of his personality. The
hedgehog is not an agreeable bird, and
we have no wish to see it substituted for
the American eagle; but bundle OF
ouills is better calculated to command
respect than a ball of putty. The man
who stands stifily in his tracks and says,
Touch me not presents a much
more respectable appearance than the
man who lodges him and every other
obstacle which he encounters in his way.
We are all very much afraid OF hurting
the feelings OF somebody, when we know,
or ought 70 know, that somebody's feel
ings ought to be hgrt, and that nothing
would do somebody SO much good as to
have his feelings hurt. We forget that
there are things Of infinitely greater i'm
portance than bad peoples feelings
things to which we owe infinitely higher
duty. A man has no moral right to per
init himself to be robbed or cheated. II
he tamely submits to such crime he be-
comes accessory to it, aud encourages
the rascal at whose hands he has sut-
fered to make o victim OF the next un-
sHspecting customer.
The characteristic American good ma
ture not only encourages and confers
impunity upon all sorts Of wrong, but it
seriously reacts upon American char
acter. 1t begets liberation Of every
kind of moral evil that brings at last
insensibility to it. There cannot be
very vide difference between the man
who commits crime and the man who
weakly tolerates It. The active sinner
is, if anything, the braver and nobler of
the two. he at least manifests courage
which the other does not. There IS
nothing that America needs more than
the bold and persistent assertion, in
every practical way, Of its sense Of what
is fair and honest, and right and proper
and courteous, between man and man.
IL every good man would stand squarely
by this, even at the sacrifice Of his repn,
tation FOR good nature, he would find
himself growing better day by day; he
would find that the good elements Of so-
ciety were rapidly gaining influence,
and that rogues were growing careful
and getting scarce.
Corporations like those which manage
our railroads will impose upon the pub
lie just as long as the popular good na-
ture riu permit them 10 do so. Their
primary object is to make money. They
will furnish to the public Just such ac-
commOdations as the public will be con-
tent with, and those Accommodations

and backs need stiffening. We ought TO
possess more manliness, and we ought
to exercise it. To insist upon our rights
in manly and temperate way, is to
give lesson in Christian civilization.
1t makes US stronger and more selt-re-
spectful and restrains the spirit Of law
lessness around US. One prominent rea-
son why crime thrives and the public NOR
ais 20 from bad to worse, is that they meet
with no rebuke. The good people fbe-
moan the fact in weak way among
themselves, but they refuse to meet the
evils they bewail, front to front with
open challenge and bold conflict. Crime
is coward in the presence Of courteous
virtue, and shrinks and crawls whenever
it boldly asserts itself. Now, virtue
shrinks and crawls, while crime struts
the streets, and deals out such privileges
to retiring decency and eowardly good
nature as it can afford, II even initiates
our good nature, and smiles upon US
from the high places Of its power and
privileges, and laughs over its profits
and its jokes.

Married in Calico.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
A young lady in Chicago, whose we'd
ding was to have taken place on Tues
day, ia church, whose "trosseau," with
all modern elegancies, was ready, and
whose bridal presents we're in state oi
elegant "forwardness," found herself on
Monday minus "trousseau, q presents,
house and home The other substantial
requirements for "keeping house, and
for daily costume and requirements,
groom was in a similar if not worse pre-
dicament, and the church in which the
ceremony was to have taken place was
heap of blackened ruins. Ll.
Here was a question of unusual i'm
portauce before the joint family council.
But it is more than probable that if the
young couple went into the caucus, they
went in as most people usually do into
conferences-with their minds made up.
For on Wednesday, with only delay of
twenty-four hours, the twain we're made
one; the lady appearing on the interest
ing occasionin in a calico dress, the only
dress saved from the FIRE. The gentle
man, if he is a gentleman, as from his
connections he is presumed to be, was
habited ip o SIMILAR unpretending gpise.
No gentleman would outshine his bride
on their wedding day As in all fashion
reports the gentleman's costume is un-
reported, woman's rights in this particns
lar being risidly respected.
The gentleman Is to be congratulated
on having found, in the ruins of the fire,
prize which he might otherwise have
been all his life in discovering. He
might have worn the jewel, whose price
is above riches, all his days, without
knowing its value. But the great and
terrible disaster, the date of which will
mark the beginning Of the married life
of this young couple, will equally mark
the beginning Of their nuptial happi-
ness, Men and women are much more
useful and essential to each other in
poverty and adversely than in wealth
and prosperity. These two, with life be-
fore them, have the pleasure and advan-
tage Of striving together TO secure hte,s
rrizes. And whatever Of this worlds
goods and convenienees they may secure
will be a Joint aequisitiep-all the more
valuable that they have in their property
and belongings mutualinterest More
than the usual degree Of confidence
must be felt in her husband by wife
who dares to marry under such circum-
stances. And more than a husband s
usual love aud protection must be gwen
to the vile Who so unreservedly trusts AZ
him. Every man thinks, or would be
glad to think, that his wife is Q snpe-
rior woman" This young man knows IL

From the New York Evening Post
The "want of money" has been felt in
many parts Of this country more keenly
since we had seven million dollars oi
paper in circulation than it ever was
when our active currency was less than
one-fourth as great. These districts
have called on Congress for more green
backs, but the common sense Of the ma
ton has opposed further issues, and es-
pecially Now York has thrown the whole
weight of her financial influence against
them. Now the time has come when
New York herself is likely for some
time to feel the pressure which she has
so wisely and resolutely advised others
to bear. The coming winter promises
10 be time of trial in this respect
throughout the country. There is no
prospect that the amount Of psper
money now in circulation will ever again
be felt to be adequate to the wants OF
the whole country, until tits raised to a
specie value, and prices of all kinds fall
TO a specie standard. And the cruel Sc
verify of this process must be borne be-
fore our prosperity can stand on solid
foundation aSAn =, :,
The occasion is one which calls for all
the wisdom and iirmness our statesmen
are capable Of; and for the exercise OF
all their power in restraining the impulses
and instructing the minds Of multitudes
whose judgments on such questions are
vague, but whose sutferings are keen.
This nation is capable Of greater present
sacrifices for future good than any other
and if public opinion is properly guided
in this matter by the men who have a
right to be heard on such subjects, the
demagogues who are already preparing
to win power for themselves by leading
3 popular demand for more greenbaeks,
will meet, in the coming session Of Con
gress. vith n complete and final disap-
p0intment.

the Hon. Harry Hill, but failed to find
Mr.. Aaron, and returned to the gambling
hell in Houston street. On entering the
front room Of the house he found about
fifty persons congregated around a faro
table. Barney Aaron was standing on
one side Of the ring, looking at the game;
The reporter accosted Mr.. Aaron, and
the two adjourned to the 5toop.

The Pretense OF ItaIianism.

The Hartford Times says: For years
It was thought necessary to keep up the
pretense of an Italianism, which in re-
ality had ceased TO exist. Opera an,
nouncements bore no names but such as
had an Italian twang. Our own Ade-
laide Phillips has figured as Signora
Fillipi on the lists Of the italian opera
in Paris; the widow Carral as Parepa,
Mrs. Westphal as Vestvali and a host
Of others have sailed the seas of art under
the bright banner of Italian names.
Only great stars dared to deviate from
the rule. In sober reality, Germany,
Sweden, England and America have
produced more great singers in this cen.
tury than Italy. Since musical educa-
ton has been acclimatized in these
countries the crop of good singers has
never failed.
