Our Dead Correspondent.

The death of Mark Kellogg who shared
the fate of Custer and his comrades, gives
sad interest to the brief sketch of his life
which we print on another page. His career
was useful and honorable but fame came
to him as to many good man it has come
only when it was worthless He had strug-
gled and suffered and failed and succeeded,
and even in his fall was seeking to render
service to his country. Every one among
his civil and military companions liked and
respected Mr.. Kellogg, and one of the pa
thetic incidents after the fight was when the
officers of General Gibbons command
searched the field for the body of the army
correspondent There is a lesson which
his death teaches. The army correspondent
often holds the post of honor in journalism
because he holds the post of danger. 1t is
his duty and his privilege to share the risks
of battle and for the sake of the pen to defy
the dangers of the sword. His services are
not merely those of a historian, but are rem
dered to the power which now makes history
possible. Caesar wrote his own commentaries
and Napoleon dictated his own memoirs, but
the correspondent must record the fight the
moment 1t is fought, nor wait for the slow
official reports The anxious eyes that watch
distant army where every soldier is hus-
band, brother or son, the impatient heart of
the country that beats for victory, cannot
wait till the government chooses to give its
cold, calm dispatches The press must
speak, and it is the press, and through it the
nation, that the war correspondent serves
There have been many illustrious instances
during the late war of men who persisted in
attempting to discover the true result of
battle or to give the facts to the people with
out delay But no one died in q moro haz-
ardous service than Kellogg, or one in which
success in itself would have brought so little
glory. There is small fame to be won in our
Indian wars. Success is taken for granted
and defeat accepted with surprise by the
country. 1t is fortunate for Clusters fame
that he did not survive the terrible mis-
fortune Mt Little Big Horn River. Glory
came to Kellogg, as to all the others
of that brave command only by death
1t was not an idle curiosity that sent Ke-
loge to fall by a savage hand in that un-

the discharge of his duty, and no death
could be nobler than that. Thackeray de-

The SERvIANs have not marked their ad.
vance into Turkish territory with any success
SO far likely to have any favorable effect
upon the war. On the other hand, the Turks
are reported to have crossed the Drin and
entered Servia, drawing the Servian troops
encamped at Belgrade to meet them. The
defeat of General Zach as described in our
special cable despatch, appears to have
been an overwhelming one. The fate
of the present offensive warfare Of
Servia upon Turkey hangs upon the
struggle imminent between General
Tchernayeff and the Turks under Osman
Pacha. Montenegro still waits, the isolation
of Servia being still almost complete. 1t is
more and more evident that the chances OF
outside help depend upon Servia's show.
ing some ability to maintain an offensive po-
sition unaided. The one other chance of
attracting help by the desperation OF a de-
fensive struggle is very remote one.

Castle Garden.

Castle Garden.
While we can scarcely regret the disap-
pearance Of the unsightly structure SO long
known as Castle Garden, yet we cannot
forget that the rude ediice was one of the
landmarks of city which has allowed too
few buildings with historic associations
clinging round them to remain standing
In later years, as everybody knows, it was q
mere immigrant station, but there was some
thing like fitness even in this, for from the
time that the Dutch first landed at Com
munipaw to make the island of Manhattan
their home it was the outlook of New Am
sterdam, New Orange and New York. It
occupied the site where the early Dutch
settlers first erected their fort. In the early
days of the metropolis it was the social
centre of the city. The Dutch Governors
and burghers had their headquarters
on this spot. It was there they smoked their
pipes in solemn content, and from there old
Petrus Stuyvesant directed the affairs of
New Netherlands and made war by proclama-
ton. At later day the English conquerors
used it as their Dutch predecessors had used
it before, SO that up to the time of the Revo-
luton it was the outpost of the city. When
Washington followed Lee to the Kennedy
House, at No. Broadway, to prepare for
the defence of the city against Sir Henry
Clinton and Lord Howe and his brother
the Admiral, whose feet and army were in
the lower bay and on Staten Island, it was
the centre of his defensive operations
Old Fort George stood upon this site
or near it. When he returned in triumph
after the war was over and when indepen-
dence had been gained, it was here the
Father of his Country landed from his barge,
amid the acclaim of his countrymen.. Later
still, when war and defence were lost and
useless arts to the commercial centre of the
New World and music came to soften the
pursuits of trade, it was here that Jenny
Lind first entranced her American hearers
At last, however, the situation was of no
avail for any of its old uses. The military
outposts of the city were below the Narrows,
and wealth and fashion had long deserted
the Battery and Bowling Green for Rich
mond and Murray hills. Even Jenny Lind
world moved up town or out of town.
1t was then that Castle Garden became
the principal emigrant station, and SO con-
tinued until it's destruction by fire. At best,
it was ill adapted to the purposes for which
it was used, and its destruction yesterday
removes what was an eyesore to the ap-
proaches to the city from the bay. Now
there is scarcely o sign that the old building
once stood on the historic site it occupied,
and we trust no effort will be made to re-
place it with any temporary or permanent
structure. The city can afford to preserve
this spot from any of the base uses to which
it has been put, and its associations are best
cherished by keeping it unobstructed as
part of the Battery Park. In the future the
site might be made the landing place of
all dignitaries whom the city chooses to
receive, but by no baser uses should it at
any time be desecrated.

ON This DAY one hundred years ago the
Declaration of Independence was read at the
head of each brigade of the Continental
army which was posted in the vicinity of
statue of George ILL., was pulled down by
the Sons of Freedom. The veterans of
Louisburg, from Connecticut paraded the
streets of New York, their flank, lean
cheeks and war-worn coats" creating much
enthusiasm.

A SEWING MACHINE AGENT has been cap
tured in Tennessee for swindling and ill
regulated amativeness. Now, if it is possi-
bic. the rascal should he set mp rs decoy
for his fellows, and, perhaps, we might then
learn of the capture of many more of these
pests of the poor sewing women. We can
assure the good people of Tennessee that we
will never ask them to extradite any New
York sewing machine agents whom they may
catch.

Tho Hayes and Wheeler Campaign
Rhymes.

Rhymes.
If Mr. Conkling had been nominated at
Cincinnati the republican campaign poetry
would have been all right, for his friends
who were more numerous among the poet
than they were in the Convention, had sup
piled hundred thousand rhymes to hi
celebrated name 1t is true that many OF
these rhymes were alike; but "honkling,'
ssdonkling," "monkling" and ''conchling"
will long live in the annals of American po-
etry. But as Mr.. Conkling did not long
cling these many thousands Of noble poems
are either useless or will have to be put away
for future use. 1t was Horace, we think.
who said that a poet should keep his verse;
for seven years before publishing; but thu
Conkling poets may not have to wait longa
than four.
Mr.. Conkling being now superannuated
as subject for the poets the whole cam
paign of rhyme must begin again. The wal
that for space did fail now trebly thunder
ing swells the gale, and Hayes and Wheeler
is the cry. We are pleased to see 80 much
Imagination displayed SO early in the repub
lican canvass, and consider it to be for.
tunate omen for that ticket. Already We
have received hundreds of campaign songs,
in which the rhymes for Hayes exhibit the
most remarkable invention. One correspond
ent informs us that "the Union will be soon
ablaze to escort to the White House Hayes,
while the liberty bell rings another pealer
this centennial year for Hayes and Whee-
ler." Another sweet singer tells US that
sin Cincinnati James G. Blaine strove
vainly to defeat him, sir, and there's not q
man in the nations main who is, in my
opinion, sir, competent to beat him, you bet.
Then glory to Rutherford Burchard Hayes;
to Wheeler also glory be, my countrymen;
and glory too, which never decays, to the
republican party, Mr.. Editor" Here is
campaign song which we should much like
to hear sung, and we wish that Mr.. Pat
Gilmore would set it to appropriate
to exhaust the whole possibilities Of
rhyme, favors us with the following:-
''With glad amaze we hail thee, Hayes and
now we raise our joyous lays to sound thy
praise. immortal Hayes 'Tis no ass brays,
turned out to Craze but Pegasus neighs,
eager for trays, and spurns delays, while he
essays to sing great Hayes Oh, happy days
oh, welcome phase! the suns bright rays
dispel the haze that blinds our gaze and lol
blaze of glory plays about our Hayes Thy
name, oh Hayes all fear allays of Gree
ley craze which but betrays thy fame out
weighs the foes arrays; 10 !! bring forth bays
to crown our Hayes Billy Wheeler was the
healer of the Louisiana row and that, upon
bigger scale, is just what we need now"
Although this is poetry we print it as prose.
Tor the reason that life is short and laure-
ates are long, and because much as we re-
spect the muses. we must always give space
to the newses. If the HERALD were a maga-
zine it would devote pages to this beautiful
verse, but at any rate we trust the campaign
poets will give the public another haze when
ever they feel in the humor.

CUsrER.-The daring deeds that have
marked the military career OF the gallant
Custer would fill volume, for he never
hesitated when duty called for or his native
valor prompted action. Our columns to-
day contain an interesting account of some
of Clusters dashing exploits during the war
Of the rebellion, related by the comrades
in arms who followed him to the field and
through all its dangers. The love Clusters
officers and men bore to their leader was
the natural outgrowth of their confidence in
his skill and admiration for his courage.
He never failed to be in the front rank of the
battle, where the bullets flew thckest, and
never ordered even squadron into action
without being willing and anxious to lead
it. The memory of Custer will live in the
hearts of the American people when that of
bis ungenerous prosecutors will have faded
into shadowy recollection.

associated with any designs upon Cuba

spondent yesterday about his chances of
reviving the war in Spain is repeti-

he has far from given up hope, that his
notion will depend upon his opportunities

of Alfonso has fallen to pieces and republic
has arisen in its stead TO shock conservative

THE CONTINUED Hor WEATHER has been
attended with extremely unpleasant conse-
auences all over the country, bnt in the
cities, particularly of New York and Brook
lyn, many fatal cases of sunstroke have oc-
Cured since the commencement of the
heated term, while instances of dangerous
prostitution have been too numerous for
record. Yesterday there was slight
diminution of temperature in this
city in the morning owing to the
prevailing cloudiness and the change of the
wind to easterly points due to the advance
of the atmospheric depression which we an
nounced in yesterdays HERALD; but during
the afternoon, and notwithstanding the brisk
breeze the thermometer indicated 10l de-
grces, the highest temperature recorded for
the past four years. Quite IN alarming re-
port of fatal cases of sunstroke reached the
