domestic infelicity," which news
paper reporters nowadays credit with play
ing such an important part in life's drama, is
often the result of lingering or chronic dis

The Statue of the Poet HalIeck.

The New York Tribune says the first
impression which the statue of Fitz
Greene Halleck makes upon the specta
tor is not agreeable. The sculptor,
although we believe he has done some
commendable work, is not very well
known; the subject, like almost every
other belonging to modern monumental
art, is one to test his capacity, and we
cannot judge his work fairly without
bearing in mind the difficulties, both of
costume and conventional treatment,
which he must overcome. The statue is
of heroic size, which is always an adj
vantage for a sitting figure. The poet is
seated in a chair with low, curving arms
apparently absorbed in the composition
of a poem. His body is turned rather
sharply to the left, the crossed legs max
ing returning angle to the right side of
the base. The left leg is thrown over
the right knee in such Il manner as to
suggest that it is held from slipping off
by a conscious muscular effort The
right hand, holding a pencil, is thrown
downward over the arm of the chair and
little outward; the left hand, slightly
lifted, grasps thin scroll of manuscript
The body is nearly erect, but the head is
turned obliquely to the left, and elevated
on that side with an upward cast of the
eye which has a purely theatrical effect
1t is a bard of the last century, who
looks aloft and seems to say: descend,
O Musew
The face, we have been told, is model
ed from lnman's portrait, which is less
manly and characteristic than Eliot's
The latter best represents the poet to all
who knew him in the closing years of his
life. The sculptor has thrown a kind of
scarf over him, from the left shoulder to
the right hip, and hung a wreath of
laurel on the back of his chair. We can
well understand that the purpose thereof
was to escape conventional form of
treatment; but between the latter and
worse result there is very narrow and
difficult field. Halleck was of so quiet
and unpretending a nature-so simple
man in his character as an author-sO
gentle, in the nobleSt sense of the word,
that even the idea of a posthumous
honor would have disturbed him, and
the vision of such an ostentatiOus inspir-
alton as he here seems to be counting
would have made the remainder of his
life miserable. 1t is greatly to be re-
GREETED that the honor accorded yester-
day to literature by the chief of our re-
public and many of her most distin-
guished men, could not be also an equal
honor to art.

Curious Scottish Custom.

In large fishing community in the
northeast of Scotland a marriage custom
prevails as follows: Bride and bride
groom, followed by a large procession of
friends and neighbors, march out of the
village to a farmhouse at some distance,
where they are married Thereafter,
bride and bridegroom separate, and fol
lowed by their friends, proceed to their
respective homes. From the moment of
! their marriage they are strictly kept
apart, the bride entertaining her friends
and the bridegroom his. At certain
hour party of young men from the
bridegroom's house proceed to the brides
house and bring her home to herhusband.
They seem to 90 through the form of
feigning to steal the bride, or carry her
off from her relations by superior force.

FITZ GREENE HAIIECK.

I'll 4 GnGENE nALIESN.
AT the dedication Of the HalIeck statue in N
York, May 10, Mr.. Whittier contributed the folio
ing poem:i
Among their craven shapes to whom
Thy civic wreatbs belong,
0, city Of his lovel make room
For one whose gift was song.
Not his the soldiers sword to WELD,
Nor his the helm of state.
Nor glory Of the stricken field,
Nor triumph of debate.
In common wars with common men,
He served his race and time
As well As il his clerkly pen
Had never danced to rhyme.
If, in the thronged and noisy mart,
The MUSES. found their son,
Could any say his tuneful art
A duty left undone?
He toiled and sang; and year by year
Men found their homes more sweet,
And through tenderer atmosphere
Looked down the brick-walled street.
The Greeks wild onset Wall street knew,
The Red King walked Broadway,
And Alnwick Castles roses blew
From Palisades to Bay.
Fair city by the sea uprise
His veil with Teyerent hands;
And miHgle with thy own the praise
And pride Of other lands.
Let Greece his fiery Lyle rfeathe
Above her hero urns;
And scotland, with her holly, wreatne
The flower he culled for Burns.
o, stately stand thy place walls,
Thy tall ships ride the seas!
To-day thy poets name recalls
prouder thought than these.
Not less thy pluSe Of trade shall beat,
Nor less thy tall fleets swim,
That shaded square and dusty street
Are classic ground through him.
Alive, he loved, like all who sing,
The echoes Of his song;
Too late the tardy mood we bring
The praise delayed 50 long.
Too late, alas,-Of all who knew
The living man, to-day
Before his unvailed face, how few
Make bare their locks of gray
Our lips of praise must soon be dumb,
Our grateful eyes be dim;
Q, brothers Of the days 50 come,
Take tender charge Of him
New hands the wires Of song may sweep,
New voices challenge fame;
But let no moss of years O'ercreep
The lines Of Haleck's name.

Washington a Notwithstanding Place.

Mrs. Belknap, whose brilliant past
naturally interests one in her sad present
and future, has left Washington never to
return. SO the world SAYS. She and
her husband have been living at one of
the principal hotels, but unnoticed. I'M
sought by all the great crowd. who, so
short time since, bowed, f1attered and
knelt before them. As beautiful as ever
in person. IS charming in manner. be
witching Mrs Belknap belongs to dead
past. | remember her at brilliant en-
tertainment, just before the exposure
came, radiant in white satin and dia-
monds, lovely, gracious, and the center
OF an admiring crowd; and then came
sackcIoth and ashes, as the night comes
down on a beautiful day. This is one
OF the sad pictures that one sees at the
Capital. Who was the person that spoke
OF Washington as heart-breaking
place? To any one who has spent some
four or five years there these few word,
will aptly describe it.

PoLITIoAL.-Eleven mem bers of the
Republican Committee of Cincinnati
have resigned in consequence of being
Federal ofice-holders. The President
will call upon several members of the
Cabinet in few days for information
as to whether any officials in their re-
spective departments are holding politi-
cal positions in violation of his recent
order.
The Memphis CTenn.) Appeal advises
the true and reliable Democrats of the
South to keep an eye on those piratical
tugs which hitched on to the Admins
tration under the pretense of towing it
into the Democratic harbor.
A Pennsylvania Congressman says
the Presidents recent order forbidding
Federal officials to take an active part
in politics is received with evidences of
great dissatisfaction by republican poll
ticians in his State, and that the Cam
eron faction say boldly they intend to
let the State 60 democratic at the next
election, as rebuke to the administra-
ton.
Clerk Adams, of the last House Of
Representatives, reports that his roll Of
the next House will contain 152 Demo
Gratis. 134 Republicans, and that sever
seats will be vacant.
A despatch from Omaha says tina
Gov. Packard of Louisiana had at las
opened his mouth, and said Hayes pol
icy has lost nineteen electoral votes
and will lose every Congressional sea
in the South, with probably one excep
ton, Thornburgs of Tennessee.

THE EASTERN WAR.

Bad as are those unpronouncable
names that are attached to men and
places, they are not more puzzling than
the accounts given of the war, as re-
ceived by cable dispatches. We give
in another place such reports as are re-
ceived and seems most reliable, but
they afford very unsatisfactory reading.
From the best accounts obtained, it
seems that the Russians have been badly
defeated in Asia, and have retreated
toward and over across their own bound
airy line. On the Black sea they are
damaging their enemies as badly as the
Turks are able to injure them, though
there has been no naval battle.
On the Danube the fighting is very
brisk at points, where cities and fortif-
cations are being bombarded and sieges
are in progress. Where the Russians
here effected their crossings, they have
pushed the Turks back far into the In
terror, and are having things pretty
much their own way. No heavy battle
has been fought where large forces have
contended. A great battle is imminent.
So far as the fighting in Europe is con-
cerned the Turks have had the worst Of
it. Austria and England, the latter es-
pecially, appear to be in great anxiety
lest they shall not get into the mess fol
fight. England is sending feet with
in menacing distance, and the lion il
shaking his name, and beating the ali
with his tail quite furiOusly. There il
no reason, except a selfish one, why
England should poke her nose into The
quarrel, and there will be many who
will not mourn if she gets hurt if she
enters the conflict without justifble rea
sons.
There is a good deal Of excitement II
government circles all over Europe, ant
the great nations are putting themselve
in readiness for any emergency.

prefdious precedent, established by his
party in the reputation of the Wheeler
adjustment, after gaining their points,
is significantly pointed to, in con6rma-
ton of the faithless character of the
Democratic participants in the comprom-
Use engineered by the Louisiana Com
mission. The enemies of the Admins
tration could hardly have suggested a
more mischievous move, or one more

THE Four PER CENT. BoNDs.-The
amount of four per cent. bonds taken in
Cincinnati last week is reported at g.
100000. This Is very large amount
to be taken in locality where the de-
mand for money is supposed to be much
greater and the amount of employment
much less than in most business centres.
The amount already subscribed is about
S15,000,000. Only few days remain
for those DESTROYS of investing in a Sc
curity which will not pass its coupons
and give the investor no possible trouble
or anxiety. 1t should be remembered,
too, by patriotic people that every per-
son who takes a one hundred dollar
four per cent. bond is the means of with
drawing one of similar amount bearing
six per cent, and is, consequently, ena-
bled to lessen the burden of taxation by
subscribing literally to the four pei
cents.

The President is reported as being
more amused than frightened at the va
rious reports with reference to the at
tempts now being made at New Orleans
TO reopen the Louisiana controversy. He
denies in detail the numerous reports
circulated about his uneasiness over the
threatened persecution Of members of
the Returning Board. While he regards
the prosecution Of Wells and Anderson
as q violation Of the pledges made by
the Nichols Legislature, he says he can
have nothing to do in any way with the
natter and certainly has no apprehen-
siOns with reference to the results. The
searching investigations made in Wash
ingtOn, last winter, by Dudley Field and
the Congressional committees in Louis
lana, secured all the facts that can be
disclosed, and he does not see what is Il
be gained by malicious persecution Of
Wells and Anderson. The President
does not believe any illegal act was com
mitted by the members Of the Returning
Board, and is convinced that the prose
cution of Wells and Anderson spring
from the malice and disappointment o
