The Hermann Monument.

In speaking Of the Inauguration of the
Hermann monument correspondent
says: The statue is described as an i'm
posing work Of art. Eighty-fve feet high
from the point of the uplifted sword to the
legionary eagle trodden under foot by the
victor, this gigantic Hermann in form and
countenance is intended to impersonate
the manly vigor, frankness and strength
attributed to the ancient Germans by
their Roman enemies. His costume be-
ing the old Saxon tunic, with bearskin
mantle and helmet, leaves arms and legs
uncovered, and gives full effect to the
huge proportions of this, the tallest figure
erected since the RhOdian Colossus. The
circular cupOla temple which forms the
pedestal is eighty-nine feet high, and is
supported by a foundation sixty-slx feet in
diameter. The figure, being of chased
copper, derives solidity from a compli-
Gated system of iron tubes placed III the
interior Of the body. The copper used in
making the statue weighs 237 cwt., the
iron 1, 1873 cwt. In the open temple which
forms the base is bronze kaut-relief of the
German Emperor, and sundry German
and Latin inscriptions commemorate the
reign in which the monument was COM
pleted, The German inscriptions chiefly
refer to the last war, which established
unity and revived empire, while Latin
legend contains the welLknovn words of
Tacitus IL his Annals" Book 2, Chap.
IS, in which Hermann is described as the
only one who had the courage to attack
Rome and the strength to defeat her when
at the height Of her power. 1t is expected
that a national reward will be conferred
upon Herr Won Banded by Emperor and
Parliament

" Sarah"

OUTSIDE papers must quit publishing
| fictitious items about Detroit or some one
will get hurt. Yesterday afternoon a
woman with a black belt and pair of
spectacles on entered the editorial rooms
of this paper, holding Chicago daily in
her hand, and she walked up to stoop-
| shouldered, consumptive toiler who had
dropped in to see New York exchange,
and grimly asked:
"Whos Sarah 2"
He replied that he had never heard of
her, when she unfolded the paper and
pointed to the following:
There is an old woman in Detroit named
Sarah who has worn one pair of stockings
right along for sixteen weeks.
Its lie"' said the old lady, land
you've got to take it back or-or-I'll-"
She finished by sliding her hand along
his shoulder until her fingers got hold of
his necktie
q haven't nothing to do with that" he
gurgled, as he tried to pull away; that's
Chicago paper"
| Il know it; but it's a lie, and l can
prove it,
Il know you can, madam, if it was
meant for you [ don't believe you'd 90
eight weeks without changing stockings"
"No, nor even SIX" she exclaimed, press
ing against his adams apple" with her
thumb. q can prove that 1 change as
often as anyone else"
81 don't think it means you," he said,
getting his left eye on the item.
Eyes, it does,' she foamed "Ain'tmv
name Sarah, and amt oldish, and amt
| a woman? Oh! such lies make my
blood bilen'
Well, you want to go for some one in
Chicago. 1t has nothing to do with this
paper"
Hain't, Ell? I know betteri You are
all linked in together, and presume you
read that yesterday end lated, and lated,
and lated, and thought Sarah was an old

never saw it before"
:" But Sarah is no foolr' she resumed
towering above him. :" You just mark
this, you long -geared grave-stone you: If
thar's another item in the papers about
Sarah you'll never know what broke your
neck"
And she laid her fist on the table, flour
ished it under his nose, and went out say
ing:

Stanley's Explorations in Africa.

THE latest contribution to the worlds
knowledge of interior Africa is letter
from 1.-the gentleman who found Living
stone," published yesterday by the New
York Herald. But it is interesting rather
as an account of the progress, pluck, suf-
fering, peril and fighting of brave body
Of men in wild country than as scien-
tiic paper. It adds nothing of positive
value to geographical data. Thus far
Stanley has traversed over again the coun-
try which Spoke and Grant and Baker and
Livingstone have with greater or less mi
ferent route from Injanjembe to the Victo-
ria n 'yanza from that pursued by DR..
Livingstone, but the cost Of the experiment
is poorly balanced by the acquisitions so
far as they are detailed. A hostile tribe
was encountered and four days of fighting
sadly reduced the numbers Of the expedi-
ton. Stanley left the coast with 800 men.
and before reaching the N'yanza he had
lost by battle, disease and desertion 1876
Of his number. At the date of his letter,
March 1, there were 1876 remaining This
letter is merely preliminary. 1t is the
record of doings and sufferings in the
work of reaching the real base of opera
tons. 1t is not disappointment, there
fore, nor anything to the discredit
of SANKEY'S undertaking that as yet
he is unable to report many new
discoveries. BY the departure from the old
route to Victoria N'yanza he found river
he was not previously acquainted with,
and in Urimi tribe of people not before
reported. These he speaks of as remark
able for their manly beauty, noble proper
tons and nakedness." They were, withal,
a suspicious people, and 10th to have any
thing to do with the strangers. The best
word said of them is that they respected
their elders, and acquiesced in any treaty
or recommendations the old people ap-
proved. Besides these two discoveries
Stanley gained an experience by the way
that may prove valuable. He encountered
different types of the natives, and learned
that some could be treated with and others
must be shot; he saw his men succumb
to diseases OF various character he encOun-
tered danger from thirst and from hunger,
and surmounted all with patience, courage
and endurance. Indeed, the most instruct
i've lessons to be cleaned from his report
are found IN contemplating the herolsm
and devotion Of the little band and the
| stout heart of its leader. Through 100

The Little Mouse.

ONE morning little Wilhelmina went
with her mother quite early to the top OF
hill behind their house to see the sun
rise. 1t was autumn. The corn had long
been reaped and was gathered into the
barns. The dew was on the grass, the air
was cool and fresh, and Wilhelmina's
cheeks grew roster than ever as they
climbed the hill. She and her mamma
fastened quickly on, as they did not wish
to be too late to see so beautiful sight as
the sunrise
In spite, however, of the hurry they
were in, Wilhelmina began all of sud
den to pull at her mothers dress, and to
say: do wait moment, mamma: if
you look in there you'll see something so
pretty"
The mother stood still and looked round,

The Chickens that were Wiser than
LOttie.

LoTTIE IS always asking, Why?''
When mamma calls from the. window,
"Lottie, Lottie!" she answers, very pleas
antly, "What, ma'am ~ for she hopes
mamma will say: "Hene's a nice turn
over for you; or Cousin Alice has come
to see you" But when the answer is,
" 1t is time to come in, the wrinkles APP
pear on Lottie's forehead; and her voice
is very different one as she says, ooh
dear, don't want to! Why need | come
now?"
When papa says: Little daughter, |
want you to do az GRAND for me- Lottie
whines and asks:
Why can't Benny do it,"
Out in the field Old Biddy Brown has
four wee chickens-little, soft, downy
balls, scarcely bigger than the eggs they
came from just one week ago
They are very spry and run all about.
When the mother Biddy finds any nice
bit she clucks and every little chick comes
running to see what is wanting.
When it grows chilly, and she fears
they will take cold, she says, -" Cluck,
cluck, cluckp' and they all run under her
warm feathers as fast as they can.
Just now Mother Biddy gave loud call,
and every chicken was under her wings
in minute; and up in the sky / saw a
hawk, who had been planning to make a
good dinner of these same chickens. [
could not help thinking how well for
them that they do not stop, like Lottie, to
ask " Why?"
Down came the hawk with a fierce
swoop, as if he meant to take the old hen
and the chickens, too; but Mother Biddy
sprang up and faced him so boldly that
he did not know what to make of Il.
She seemed to say: " Come on, nv
fine fellow, if you dare. You have got
to eat me before you eat my chicks, and
you'll find me rather tough"
So the hawk changed his mind at the
last moment. He thought he would wait
till he could catch the chickens alone.
The chickens were saved, though one of
them was nearly dead with fright

Said in a whisper: Don't forget

You've talked, know, an hour or more
About the statutes made before
The Norman Conquest, and have brought
Before US what Justinian taught
And Coke on Littleton; have gone
All through the Code Napoleon;'
And very learnedly, no doubt,
Have shown His Honor all about
The statutes in the reign of Anne;
And how the leading cases ran
Before Lord Blank held so and so;
Now let the habeas corpus go.
And ere the Court falls fast asleep
Do say word about the sheepm
