Who Owns the Mon IL mcnt

n tie Editor Of the Commercial.
We have been very much pleased that through
the exertions of our energetic citizen Mr.. Ell
Crozier the memorial of our soldiers should have
been saved from the ignominy of sherf's sale,
and also to see it 30 handsomely graded, and sod
ded; being now instead of the disgrace it has
been, one of the most attractive features OF our
city, and could we only have it remain in this
simplicity it would please all beholders But since
the third OF July 1t has appeared in new phase;
an immense chicken has completely exungulsl-
od the monument. The poor eagle sinks into
insignificance beside Ills formidable rival the
rooster aud he will certainly have to be consign-
ed to our neighborng city, to take his place with
the rest OF those dilapidated birds of freedom;
who look IA though they had seen better days
ere they had been put upon exhibition in the
Geological
Well, we feel sorry for the eagle; sorry for the
monument, but more sorry for the citizens who
must have their taste outraged by such dispro-
portion; and still moro 30, now, AZ we zee in
course OF erection q picket fence which Will
make an absurdity out of what should have boon
ap object of beauty. Our city must rest still
longer under the stigma of II want of artistic
taste, and we need go no further than the mon
ument, with iis towering Flagstaff and picket
fence, to find evidence of the need required for
tho cultivation of taste aud Judgment. Ii there
is a surplus of money which enables the cree
ton of this fence, would it not be better to have
an inscription ON the stone, showing that to tho
memory of the brave and faithful defenders OF
our Union this spot WAS set apart, and this mon
ument raised, and while we appreciate the good
that Mr.. Crozier has already accomplished yet
we beg of him to let we'll enough alone, and let
us have only the green grass and the stone work
until we are able to decorate the lower part of
tho lot with q fountain; which we stipuate shall
not be higher than the monument; neither shall
it have anv chicken to dispute sovereignty with
the bird OF our Union. i.

The Frigate Constitution.

THIS HISTORIC OLD WAR VESSEL TO BE RE-rIrTED
FOR THE CENTENNIAL.
1t is announced that orders have been re-
seived in the Philadelphia navy-yard to com
mence work on the famous old frigate Constitu-
ton, (alias Old Ironsides,) with the
view that she may be completed for the
centennial, on which occasion she will be
one of the most interesting objects to visit
in connection with naval affairs. The Consti-
tuition Was completed at Boston in 1897, and re
built several years ago. Her exploits in the war
of 1912 we're as follows She sailed from Boston
on the 9th of July, commanded by Capt. Isaac
Hull, and on the 10Th of August 1872, captured
the British frigate Guerriere.. Returning to
Boston, she again sailed, after being thorough
ly repaired, commanded by Captain William
Bainbridge, on which cruise she captured the
frigate Java. Returning to port, she sailed once
more on the 30th of December, now under the
command of Capt. Charles Stewart, capturing
the Pictou, of fourteen guns, then the Cyane
and Levant in single engagement, both vessels
rating twenty gums but really carrying twenty
two.

Governor Cochran stated that the immense
crop of the present season made 1t necessary fol
the growers TO seek out additional markets, and
while considerable quantities of Delaware
peaches had been forwarded to Boston, the New
York commissions, and the handling at that
point had prevented any great increase of the
trade. He advocated warmly the establishment
Of an all-ral line through, pedSing it his cup
port.
Mr. Biggs assured the Boston mon there
could be no doubt of the success of tho under
taxing, saying that either the Delaware growers
must turn their attention to other crops or that
the consumer nnd grower must be drawn more
closely together.
Messrs. Hayes Shallcross. Douglass Cannon
and Rousch endorsed fully the views of the gen
tlomen who had preceded them.
Messrs. Freeman, lde and Williams, represent
ing the various railroad companies, presented
tho schedule for running, and guaranteed u line
which should meet all their requirem ents in the
way of thoroughly ventilated and perfectly fit
ted cars, sure and speedy transfer from Jersey
City to the New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad, quick transit and an early delivery at
Boston, say two O'Clock r. NJ. each day.
The general arrangement Of details was left
with Mr. Charles X Ide, of the Philadelphia.
Wilmington and Baltimore Railread, who was
authorized to make all contracts for cars, rates,
40, &c, whose competency TO mako things work
smoothly will not be doubted, and the prompt
shipment of peaches to Boston, this summer,
without detention at Jersey City, is no doubt az
sumed.

PREPARATION OF THE cANNERs-ENLARGING THE
MARKET AND LANDING sPAcE
From the BALTIC. sun o.
Whilst the peach growers of Maryland and
Delaware are deyising ways and means for the
disposal of their large peach crop, which will be
gathered this season, the fifty or more fruit
packing firms of Baltimore are arranging to do
their share in the business These firms, which
perhaps, pack more fruit than the rest OF the
country combined are among the chief
purchasers from the growers and without
them much OF the fruit would not
find market. Every available foot of room on
Light street and at other eligible locations for
landing the peaches from boats will be engaged
ahead and the packers will buy more extensiye-
ly than heretofore, sprices will be more in their
favor than last year, when as high as 81 per
box of three pecks was paid. The first peaches
generally arrive early in August and are follow
ed by the different varieties as they rpen In
season. There is stated to be peach failure In
