receipt of letter from Mp. Alex. j. IL.
Bcresford Hope, Menoer of Parlia-
ment, accompanying photographs of
Foley's statue,1of Stonewall Jackson,
which was subscribed for In England
as soon, as the sad news of the death of
the distinguished soldier was received
,aere. This statue was finished lit
tie while before Foley's death, and re-
Gently was on exhibition at the rooms
of the Royal Academy, London, where
it was much admired, especially by
Southerners, who knew or had seen
the illustrious original. 1t will be
placed in the hands of the Common
wealth of Virginia, in few weeks for
erection in the city park Of Richmond.
Mr.. Hope is the author of Andstdsils,
Letters on Church Matters, The Eng
fish Cathedral Of the Ninetee1ith Centu-
~, and many pamphlets, papers and
articles, and has been a member of
parliament sine lS4l, and president
from 1865 to 1857 OF the Royal Institute
of British architects. A gentleman OF
not merely literary and political at
tainments, but of highest culture he
has all his life been conspicuously be-
fore the public of Great Britain, by
whom he is warmly cherished. During
the war he was a generous and out
spoken friend of the South, and his
wife, daughter OF the second Marquis
of Salisbury, assisted him In all his
schemes for our soldiers.
Among the most conspicuous of his
works in our behalf Is this statue of
one of the most renowned artists of his
time, for to Mr.. Hope we largely owe
the subscription which has insured 30
a tribute to. and memorial OF,
the general whose sobriqust of "Stone-
wallr so fittingly and fully expresses
his character. The South owes Mr.. |
Hope a debt ofgrstitnde. We make

The Luck of Roaring Camp Repeated

[From the Lake City Coli Worldl
July II was II red letter day in Lake
Mining District, in the San Juan
country, for on that day came an in
teresting stranger into camp-not over
the Saguache road nor over the Ante
lope park trail, but in the good old
way ordained by God, and faithfully
kept up by mankind. On that day the
wife of 5. Il. Hoyt gave birth to the
first child ever born in Lake District,
and neither father nor mother was
more proud of the event than was the
honest miners, who dropped pick aud
drill, and hastened to town rs the news
spread from mine to mine, for they all
regarded it us forerunner OF u higher
civilization, and were prouder than il
they had struck veritable bonanza.
The event occurred in the morning,
and when toward evening it was an

it was curious to note the manner in
which he was manipulated. Some

grace with which they handled him
upon the palms of their Outstretched

great alarm in the breasts of the doc

which they grabbed the little fellow,
and held him up AS though he had II
ramrod in his back and was Il natural

plimentary remarks were made, after
which the crowd adjourned to the wet
grocery establishment across the way.

Gen. Alexander Hamilton, who died
in this city on Sunday last, was only
one of the American Hamiltons who
have at various periods in the history
of the country shone great alacrity in
taking up arms for either their cOun-
try, their friends, or themselves. He
was in command of the old Sand Hook
fort in the war of 1872, and took part
In many of the minor engagements
near the city at that time. After the
war he went to Spain, and was at the
memorable battle before Badajos be-
tween the French troops and the Eng
lish army under Wellington. His faith
er, Alexander Hamilton, an adopted
citizens. studied artillery at the aye of
nineteen, and in 1776 became a Cap
tain under General Schuyler in COM
mand of the Northern Department.
He was 10 the fight at White Plains,
and after having lost nearly all his
men ut Trenton and Princeton and in
the retreat across the Raritan, he be-
came an aid to Washington, and was
at Monmouth and Yorktown. While
he was Revolutionary soldier he bors
a challange to General Lee from Gen.
eral Laurens, and acted as second to
Laurens in the duel that followed. He
became commander-in-chief of the
army on the death of Washington in
1899, and in 1904 lost his life in duel
with Aaron Burr, just two years after
the death of his eldest son, Schuyler,
i'm "a similar "afIair of honor" James
Hamilton of South Carolina, who was
drowned at sea some twenty years ago,
was Major i'm the war of 1872, served
as Mayor of Charleston and member
of the Legislature for several years,
and in 1922 was sent TO Congress.
In the celebrated duel between John
Randolph and Henry Clay, he acted as
second to Randolph. His death was
noble one. When on his way to Texas,
after having spent his fortune In her
service, the steamer came in collision
with another. With the courtesy and
gallantry that always distinguished
him, he yielded his own chance Of safe
ty to lady, and went down to his
death without a murmur. The Gen.
Alexander Hamilton who has just died
was born Oh the 10th day of May, l7s6.
From the time of his return from En-
rope. in 1890, he lived a retired life in
this city, spending much Of his time at
his country seat in New Brunswick, N
]. He leaves no children, and his
heirs are his three brothers, James A.,
aged So, who lives on the estate IN lr-
vington; John c., aged IS, who lives
in this city; and Philip, aged %, who
lives in Pongbkeepsie.

II has been proved that the whole
Pacific cOast, especially California,
with all Its mountains, Is perpetually
rising, and that ut comparatively
rapid rate. The land containing In It's
bosom our great American lakes Is
slowly sinking while southern lndi'
ana, Kentucky and the surrounding
States are rising. Geological lnvesti-
cations prove that our great lakes, eX-
cept Ontario, had formerly southern
outlet; until, by gradual northern de-
pressi0ns and southern upheavals, n
northern outlet was formed from
Lake Erie into Ontario about forty
thousand years ago. This outlet,
the Niagara river, IL still wearing
away its channel. The division line
of the watershed south of the lakes
and the Mississippi valley, has since
that time been steadily travelling
southwark, and when Chicago recently
turned the waters of Lake Michigan,
through the Chicago river, into the
Mississippi valley, the old state Of af-
fairs was artilicially reestablished.
New Jersey is sinking, with New York
city aud Long Island, ut the estimated
rate of about sixteen inches per cen
fury. The coast of Texas Is ascending
Mt comparatively very rapid rate,
some observers stating that IL is MS
much as thirty or forty feet in the last
half century. Combining the observa-
tons with the results of the re-
cent deep soundings of the United
States steamer TuscaroIa in the Pacific
Ocean, We find that the bed Is evident

eral centuries, and observations of the
coast will undoubtly reveal the fact
that 1t has not yet ceased. The most
eminent German biologists and eth

to Australia. When the great Pacific
continent slowly sank, so that the
ocean commenced filling the valleys,
man retreated to the mountains, which,
by continued sinking, were transform
ed into islands, and now form the
many groups of Polynesia. The insu-
larity of the thus preserved races was
not productive of civilization. Wii;;i itC-l

primitively the greatest advance took
place at the spot of the most intense
conflict, the continent of Southern
