The Greeley Monument---Address of
the Committee.


To the People of the United States:
The committee to raise fund to COM
memorate the virtues of the late Horace
Greeley, by statue and monument in
Greenwood, has been fully organized by
the appointment of the Hon. VIM w.
Niles, of Westchester County, as Chair
man, the Hon. Andrew H. Green, Con-
troller of the City of New York, Treasur-
er, and Edmund @. Stedman, Esq, of
New York, Secretary. .-11r lraa
The members of the committee, as far
as appointed, are to work in earnest and
with sure prospect of success. But
they are conscious that it does not belong
to them or to any limited number of men
to render adequate honor to one whose
just fame belongs to the entire people.
Horace Greeley was pre-eminently man
of the people; he rose from among their
ranks by industry, frugality, and a life of
blameless purity; his example no less
than his written words will remain for
ever precious legacy to the masses of
workingmen who are actuated by the
same pure ambition as that which raised
him from poverty and obscurity to the
honorable and conspicuous position in
which for many years he led the public
opinion of the country. There is nothing
in his character or career which mars the
force of his beneficent influence. No
young man can ponder the story of his
life without profit. He is one of the few
public men Of our age who may be safely
held up to the imitation of the young. 1t
is, therefore, to the people at large
that the committee confidently ap-
peal. 1t is their privilege and
duty to honor worthily the man who best
represented the brain and conscience of
the masses.
This is in no sense a partisan enter
prise. The committee is composed of
members of all parties, equally proud to
do honor to one whose laborious life was
passed in devotion to the general well
fare.
All who believe with us, that Mr.. Gree
ley's great efforts in behalf of freedom, of
enlightenment, of economy and of pro-
gress, have not been without beneficent
results, are cordially invited to share in
this tribute to his memory. The rich
cannot better show their appreciation of
the lessons of industry and order which
he taught, and the poor, in giving what
| slight sums they can afford, will honor
their own estate and aspirations. 1t is
not doubted that every editor in the
| country will be willing to forward the
work, either by an editorial Endorsement
or by receiving and forwarding such
sums as may be raised in his locality.
There is not village in the land but con
tains some man who has profited by Mr..
Greeley's teachings. We hope there is
not one where an effort will not be made
to contribute to this expression of the ma
tional gratitude. .- ,.-....
A memorial volume will be kept con-
tanning the names and residences of every
contributor; and upon the completion of
the work will be deposited in the histori-
cal society for preservation.

Now and then, when they were quite

the slightest wish at the time. -
And so thirty and forty years went by,
and the farmer and his wife grew old aud
their hair snow white, and still the wish
remained unspoken. At last 1t pleased
God to show them a great mercy, and
He took them to Himself both in one
night. Children and grandchildren stood
weeping round the coffins, and, as one
of them tried to withdraw the ring from
the dead mans fingers, the eldest son
said:
"Let our father take his ring to the
grave. There was some mystery about it.
Probably it was some love token, for our
mother often looked at the ring too; per-
haps she gave it to him when they both
were young" -
So the old farmer was buried with the
ring which should have been wishing.

as much good luck to the house as man
could desire. For it is strange, as regards

Krasnovodsk to the south, are within an
easy rush of the Uzbek horsemen from
Khiva, and can be effectually prevented
from assisting each other. To the north
east, Khlva menaces the Russian lines
on the Jaxartes (Sir Daria) and on the
IrRizh, to the northwest, those on the
Emba and two or three hundred
miles north of the EmbA lies Orenburg,
the headquarters of Russian civil and
military organization in that part of the
empire; for the safety of which, II is re.
ported, fears are already entertained.
Russia has now, according to common
information, about 80, 900 men in Central
Asia. A comparative moderate effort,
with her present railway system, will
double the number. Meanwhile, the
steppes of the "lesser Kirghiz horde"
which lie across the road to Orenburg,
have already been "raided," ss the mod
ern phrase runs, by the Khivan squadrons,
and Russian detachment under Colonel
Markosof repulsed with considerable loss
OF camels and baggage.
1t Is with this stage of affairs before us
that we have now to judge of the last in
telligence afforded. According to it the
Russian Government have finally decided

Prince Gortschakof.
The expedition is to move in three col
umns-one from the Caspian (Krasnov-
odsk being the point of departure indi-
cated), one from Orenburg, across the
wide intervening steppes; one from Tash-
kend, the recent acquisition of Russia in
Central Tartary. With all this grand
preparation, we are assured that Russia
has nothing so little at heart as the an
nexation of Khiva. We shall see. Look
ing at geography only, it would seem al
most impossible for Russia to dispense
with the acquisition, or at least the con-
troll of the Khanate, if she means y re-
tain any hold on Central Asia at all. And
as long ago as the reign of Peter the
Great, the Khan of Khiva, according to
Russian authorities, rendered forever
allegiance to His Majesty the Tsar."-

Danger OF Carrying Concealed Weap-
Ons. 'iiu l,si t-1uu.

There is absolutely no safe way to carry
a pistol except to carry It without a
charge. A young man lost his wife, re-
Gently, by trusting to the directions OF a
friend who told him how he should carry
pistol without danger.
His Mary Jane resided some distance
from the city, and he had q great horror
of dogs, 80 he put his revolver In the hip
pocket of his Sunday clothes, one even
ing, when he started to see her. The
prospective, mother.in-law met him at
the gate and told him to take the rocking
chair, and as he did so, the report of fire.

fall to the floor, while fire in the rear
claimed Charles Henry's attention, and
consumed portion of his best doeskin

girl ran in, forgetting her disordered dress
and hair, and followed her mothers ex-
ample. The old man and his double"
fisted boys ran in, and, seeing mother
and daughter lying on the floor, went for
that young man, and he went through
the window, carrying sash and glass
with him as he went. A big dog aroused
by the noise make for the fugitive, who
in his turn made for the city, about 3
mile and half or two miles distant,
emptying his revolver at the dog as he
went. The dog was dead for that young
man In more than one sense; for he dares
not approach the ouse now, lest the old
man may revenge the loss of his dog on
him. The old man says he will never for
give the murderer of his dog. If any one
asks that young man how he likes Mary
Jane, he says that her nerves are too deli
cate for a country girl, and betrays an
anxiety to drop the subject but he con-
fided to friend that, in sitting down, the
hammer of his revolver caught upon the
rocker, and it was In that way discharged,
whereupon that house and his clothes be-
came too hot for him. (Ir1d.)

How Appearances Deceived a Smart
Hotel Clerk.

Resting over night at a pretentious
hotel, and breakfasting very heartily
there in the morning, was an aged stran-
ger, whose unspeakably seedy attire,
while it had been unnoticed in the dark
hours of his arrival, excited the dire dis
trust of the officials of the house as re-
vealed by daylight. Sorely suspicious
was the superb clerk of the establishment
that the latter was to be. wronged of its
dues by some trick or plea of the venera-
BILE shabby guest, and when the latter hav.
ing dispatched his meal presented him
self at the desk with an admonitory
cough, his doubts became certainty.
~ have had my breakfast" began the
aged man, deliberately, "snd candor
compels me to say" "Hand over the
money, you old rascal |" interrupted the
clerk, in rage "As was saying" re-
sumed the stranger, placidly "candor
compels me to inform you" "Call a
policeman ~ roared the clerk to a bell
boy. Gwen have our twelve shillings,
or you go to the lookup" The boy
started upon his errand without apparent
notice from him of the seedy costume,
who, taking his own time to draw forth
from some obscure pocket a vast and
greasy wallet, quietly repeated: "As
was saying, I've had my breakfast, and
here's your twelve shillings; but candor
compels me to inform you that them
mashed potatoes was lovely-perfectly
lovely, sir and don't mind throwing in
a shilling extry for 'em."

Rome who were half foot taller than the
tallest Italians. Yet there is no proof
that the men of these nations were any
larger In ancient times than they are now.
On the contrary, the graves and barrows
tell different story. The remains are
usually under the average height OF men
of the present day. 1t Is the same, with
the Egyptian tnummics. According to
Atheneus, man of four cubits, or six
feet In height was considered of "gigan-
tic size" In Egypt.
Apollodorus, the grammarian Of
Athens, gives the height of the Gigantic
Hercules as four cubits; and Phya, the
woman who was selected to personate
Minerva, at Athens, at the time Of Pisis-
tratus, on account of her great height,
which was considered wonderful, did
not exceed in stature four cubits less by
three fingers, or only about five feet ten.
Numerous other examples might be
given, but the facts cited are sufficient to
prove that mankind at the present day, II
no greater, is certainly no less in height
and in size than in the days Of old; and
that fully as many instances of abnor-
nal stature have occurred in compare
lively modern times as when ''there wers
giants in the earth. ."--AppletOn's Journal.

The LOOmis Aerial Telegraph.

A bill incorporating the Loomis Aerial
Telegraph Company was recently passed
by Congress. This aerial telegraph
scheme is a novel thing. The plan of DIR.
Loomis, the inventor, is TO telegraph from
high point of the Rocky Mountains to
the highest attainable peak of the Alps,
at which point tower is to be erected,
on the top of which huge mast is to be
placed. An apparatus capable of collect
ing electricity is to be put upon the upper
end of this mast, by means of which, at
such elevation, it is claimed that strata
of the atmosphere will be reached which
is charged with electricity. Ground con-
nection, the same as is used In ordinary
telegraphy, will be erected. This electri-
fed strata of the atmosphere will, as with
the ordinary single wire and ground con-
nection, make a complete circuit, and IL
Is claimed that the slightest pulsation of
electricity at one tower will produce SINH.
lar pulsation at the other. The company
is to have capital stock of two hundred
thousand dollars with the privilege of
| increasing it to two millions if the inter-
est of the company shall require it. The
business and objects of the corporation
are stated in the bill to be to develop and
| utilize the principles and powers OF nat
ural electricity, to be used in telegraph
| ing, generating light, heat and motive
power, and otherwise, and operate any
machinery, run by electricity, for any
purpose.

THE New York World makes the serious
charge that a few days ago not less than
twenty car loads of diseased Western
sheep arrived in that city from Chicago,
and many of them were killed as quickly
as possible and sold to consumers. The
senders were Immediately telegraphed to,
and warned that if any more diseased
sheep were shipped they would be imme-
diately returned or seized by the proper
authorities. Sheep whose fleece showed
evident signs of the pestilence when alive
il was found could be detected by com
petent butchers after they had been
slaughtered. The deep, dark blue veins,
filed with sluggish blood, along the back,
visible when the pelt was stripped off,
was sufficient indication that the disease
permeated the system, to say nothing OF
the general leanness and thinness of the
mutton,
