"a :thing Of beauty is JOY forever" was the
trite but appropriate expression which involun-
tarily rose to our lips as we stood on Saturday
last examining the COombs monument in Mr..
Roussesu's marble yard, corner Of North Capitol
and streets.
There are very few OF our citizens who, unless
their attention is specially directed to the sub
ject, have observed the Immense strides, @sthet-
ically speaking, which have been made during
the last few decades in the monumental branch
Of marble cutting. From the plain, fiat slab or
headstone of our fathers days with simple in
scriptiOn, little or no mark upon it, and that of
the present mechanical description, we have ad-
vanced to the most elaborate and beautiful artis-
tic designs, and our cemeteries are filed with mag
nihcent monuments, exquisitely designed and eX-
ecuted by men who are not simply mechanics in
the common and superficial sense Of the term, but
in the highest and best artistic and realistic con-
ception Of its meaning.
Among those who have strfven for years to
elevate their FALLING and bring about the elabo-
rate results we have mentioned is our old friend
he combines the delicacy and Judgment Of the
true artist mechanic, and we realized 1t fully
we looked upon the monument alluded to, and
felt stirring within our soul the truth OF which
its purity and grace were the emblems. That is
not really earth which leaves so fair memory
behind"
The whole monument is not more than twenty
three feet high, but is Of exquisite proportion.
The base and suBbRse are Of blue PENNSYLVANIA
marble. The die, shalt and rustic cross which
surmounts the whole, are Of the purest Italian
marble. On one side Of the die is the inscription,
ITO the memory Of Catharine, wife Of Michael
r. COOmbs." The remaining sides have nothing
upon them. On the upper corners Of each face Of
the die represented clusters of grapes, lilies,
JapOnicas and roses, while midway up the shaft
hand, beautifully carved in alto relieve, holds
forth from the clouds a wreath of oak and olive
leaves intermingled.

YACHTING.
TALK OF A RACE BETWEEN THE ANER1-
I'M II. III

TALK OF A RACE BETWEEN THE AMER1-
Gus AND TREADWELL.
Since the regatta Of Monday last the principal
topic Of conversation among those interested in
aquatic sports has been the contest between the
yachts Ella TreadWeI and Americas, which was
so close and exciting. The members and parti-
sans of each club have talked race until they
were hOarse, ans now comes the following pr0pO-
sitiOn, made by authority, and If the members Of
either club wish to consult in regard to the mat
ter they should go TO headquarters, e., the pres
dents Of the respective clubs.
The Ella TreGdWell will race the Americas
from Glymont twenty-five miles to windward-or
any further named pOint-and return, according
to the rules of the National Yacht Club, for q
purse of 81. OOO-that is, 81, 900 q side.
The Americas, on the other hand, proposes two
races:
First. A race from Seventh-street wharf to ely
mont and return, according to the rules Of the
National Association, for 81 900 side, $500 Of the
winnings to be paid 10 the orphan asylums.
Second. A race from Seventh-street wharf to
Point Lookout and return, for 81, 900 aside, &C
cOrding to the rules Of the National AssOcia-
tion.
The reason for this difference about the point of
starting is that the Americas draws less water
than her rival, but as each has won q race from
Washington to Glymont IL would be we'll If they
could come to terms for third trial. Why not
start from Fort Washington; go, say to Point
Lookout and return? That would be splitting the
difference, and would be fair. Think Of it, gen.
tlemen, and give us q good race,

POLICE PRLYLLMES.

Referring to q recent order Of the Board Of
Police Commissioners of New York, the Graphic
Of that city aptly says:
The recent order of the police commissioners
directing policemen to wear their uniforms when
of duty naturally creates great dissatisfaction.
An officer cannot take his wife to church or walk
with her in the street without convincing the
public that she is q woman whom he has arrested
In the course Of his duty. The pretext for COM
polling the men to wear their uniforms at all
times is that thereby the actual working force of
the police is increased. In other words, the men
are expected to do double duty, and to be de-
prived Of all recreation. We have VIGOROUSLY too
few policemen; but the way to remedy the diff
Guilty is to increase the force, and to get more
work out Of the present members by an under
hand trick. Policemen are men, and are entitled
to decent treatment. The commissioners are now
treating them as though they were a species of
cattle. Public sentiment should compel the re-
scinding Of the obnoxious order, and teach Mr..
Matsell and his associates that policeman has
some rights which even commissioners cannot be
permitted to infringe.

A NEW WORK

A clergyman formerly of this city, the Rev. R.
W. Lowrey, has recently published the first
series Of a work that will be Of great interest to
all Episcopalians. 1t is popular history Of the
English Church from the earliest days to the
planting of the Episcopal Church in this country.
1t goes only as deeply into the facts as seems
needed by the ordinary layman, eschewing all
attempt at learning, and giving only the salient
points. 1t has, so far, met with very favorable
notices and reception. Says one review:
mo other volume covers the same ground in the
same space. Its style is clear and the matter all
to the point. 1t is the cream of score ofvoumes"
Mr.. LOUrey's many friends in the city Of his
former residence will welcome this product Of his
pen. Some work Of this kind seemed needed.
Books there were on the subject in numbers, but
none Of convenient size and reasonable cost to the
masses.
