EcIin.inr DR.. MARY Walker

During the past week a woman dressed
in long, gray frock, trousers white, with
red stripes, and crimson hat with fam
ing brim, has paraded Broadway. On a
large label on her nat is ''Tom-ri- joins Vol
cano, cts.," and slung to her side by a
broad red band is a box containing copies
of the paper. Newsboys followed her, and
others stared at her. For the past three
years she and her husband Tom jon FL
liot, published the paper in Boston, but
two months ago they moved TO this city.
The woman's husband is tall man, with
fierce beard and hair standing straight on
end. Mrs. Elliot calls herself by her maid
en- name-Susi Dunli. She has two chill
dren, whose names are Retaliation aud
Avenger Elliot. Tom-ri-jon is actually the
given name of the father.
Susi Dunli says that she first adopted
male attire four years ago. The Volcano is
a queer little sheet illustrated with cuts.
The couple live at 90 Frankfort street,
where they keep house. While Susi Dunli
was standing at Pine street and Broadway
yesterday, she was arrested by Officer
Coyle for obstructing the street. In the
TOmbs police court she said that she dis
liked the brilliant colors of her clothes, but
wore them so as 10 attract attention 10 her
paper. Justice OLterbourg asked her why
she wore mems clothes. She at once took
exception 10 this remark, and said that they
were not mems clothes; that they had been
made for her and filled 10 her form. "But,"
said the judge, ''they are different from

to, and wear one less gaudy."
Justice Otterbourg said there was no law
to prevent her from wearing what attire

Then she left the court room. Her stock
of papers was sold in the court room.-M Y.

LincOIn's Monument.

The two bronze groups designed 10 orna-
ment the base of the National Lincoln
Monument have arrived, and are TO be
placed in position at once. These two
groups were designed by Larkin G. Mead,
of Florence, Italy, who is also the architect
of the monument, and who designed the
statue of Lincoln already described. The
groups were cast in bronze by the Chico
pee Arms Company, Of Massachusetts, and
are said TO be the most elaborate bronze
castings ever executed in this country.
They are now on the monument grounds,
and have been so far stripped Of their cas-
ings that comparatively good view is to
be had of them, and really excellent idea
of the spirit of the composition is obtained.
The infantry group consists of three tig-
ures, the centre of which is an officer garb
ed in the infantry uniform which was made
historic by the war of the rebellion, but
which has been discarded for a combina-
ton of dress, ornament and distinctive
marks gathered from the Prussian and
French armies and from the service of the
late so.called Confederate States. This Of
ficer has seized the staff Of the colors which
but a moment before had fallen to the
ground, with which he leans on his arm.
The pose of this central figure is very fine,
and with the flag which shines out, display
ing its full glories, sixteen feet high, makes
the group pyramdal in form. On the left
is a drummer boy with his drum, who has
caught the excitement of the scene, and
who rushes forward with a pistol in his
right aud drumstick in his left hand, On
the right of the officer is the figure of pri-
vate soldier in infantry uniform, with
knspsack and all accoutrements, in the act
of charging with the bayonet. The features
aud arrangement of dress of tte soldier
will represent those of the Western volun-
teer, and with a delicate taste, Mr.. Mead
has chosen for his representative Infantry
man a Western American. This group, in
honor of the infantry arm of the service,
which has been well spoken Of as "that
humble arm, good for nothing but to fight
battles and win victories" is to stand at the
right of the statue Of the emancipator and
deliverer.
The naval group is better known 10 the
citizens OF the great Republic than is the
infantry, for by the consent of the associa-
ton it was exhibited at the Centennial E4-
position at Philadelphia, and there attract.
ed much favorable comment. The centre
object Is one OF those immense monitors
which were brought into use during the
celebrated expedition for the opening Of
! the N ississlppl. They were used sgAlnsl

Island No. 10 and against Vicksburg, but
they attained their utmost celebrity as used
In the reduction of Forts Phillips aud Jack
son, below New Orleans. On one of these
monitors is perched a sailor boy or pow
der H. onkey," who looks constantly TO the
front to discover if possible the object at
which sailor, who is upon the right, is
directing his index finger. This sailor In
proper uniform is in the act of rolling
toward the mortar a shell fitted for its cali
bre. On the left Of the mortar is a second
officer who has just taken from his eye the
glass with which he has been viewing the
position aud intention of the enemy. His
figure is, although standing, in complete
repose, and his features we'll represent the
assured confidence with which the officers
of the American navy are accustomed to
look upon the enemy, or TO observe the
various changes Of an engagement. The
contrast between the cool confidence of this
figure and the lsborious exertion of the
sailor and the excited demeanor OF the boy
is very striking and will be considered, it
is believed, one of the most interesting fea-
lures of the group. The group is to be
that the southern side of tho monument
will represent Mr.. Lincoln with the in
lantry on his right and the navy on his LETT
in the act Of crushing the rebellion, while
in his hands he holds the proclamation Of
emancipation. Each of these groups weighs
about four tons, and they are TO be placed
in position as soon as the requisite machin-
cry can be arranged. When upon the
pedestal there will be some proper cere-
mony of dedication, which will, of course,
be reported. The funds and subscriptions
of the association are exhausted by the ex-
pense of these groups, which cost, deliver
ed, 200 each. A bill is now pending in
the General Assembly which provides an
appropriation of S27 900, for the expense OF
the two other groups-cavalry and artillery
which are requisite TO complete the origi-
nal design.- Chicago Times.

Australia forms q happy exception TO
the general depression, in the enjoyment Of
unprecedented financial prosperity.
&C. b. Lewis, the Detroit Press funny
man, is 35, was born in Ohio, started life as
printers boy, served ia the war, secured
a lieutenancy lighting Indians out West,
aud in 1868 was blown up on a steamboat.
They thought he was dead and were going
to bury him. But he came TO and wrote
up so humorous an account OF his adven-
ture, that he found he had made hit in
the funny line' and has followed 1t ever
since.
There we're three deaths under one um-
brella at Newbern, N. c., on the last Sun
day evening in April. At the close of the
service in the colored Bethel church q
thunderstorm passed over the town, and
two young girls took refuge under color
ed brothers umbrella, which had steel
handle. There was vivid d ash, and in an
instant there were three lifeless bodies
PROSTATE on the sidewalk. The cover Of
the umbrella was partly burned.
Prof Riley of the chronological COM
mission reports that there is no danger this
year in Texas and Kansas from grusshop-
pers, as their eggs have hatched and the
prod uct has been killed by the cold, rainy
weather. There are belts of country where
the eggs have not all hatched as yet, but
the hOppers will not be so dangerous even
when they do hatch as heretofore, as they
will confine themselves TO small areas, and
farmers can destroy them by walchfulness
and perseverance,.

CATARRH
TWELVE YEARS

for four weeks without avail, and finally obliged
to give up most desirable position and return home
unable to sing a note. For three weeks afterwards

the slightest cold would bring fresh attack leAv-

Cure for Catarrh, very reluctantly, confess had
tried all the advertised remedies without benefit. The
first dose Of this wonderful medicine gave me the
greatest relief. 1t Is hardly possible for whose
head aches, eyes ache who scarcely artcuate dis

his throat, to realize how much relief obtained from

ticed until the outbreak Of war, when he

To give the President power To carry out
his Southern policy it is important that he
have majority in both houses favorable to
his administration. Whether he shall have
this majority depends on the Southern
democrats. If they oppose the administra-
tion, elect a Northern democrat, such as
Randall or Sayler, TO the speakership, and
ally themselves with disafeeted republic
cans to fight the administration he will be
compelled to use his official patronage in
such a way as TO give him strength in his
own party; whereas. should Southern
democrats wisely extend him a support, he
will be able to deal his patronage to them
literally, and revolutionize the system Of
federal patronage which has existed In the
South since the war. Southern democrats
now. have the power to redeem the South II
they see proper TO use it. The Presidenti Is
firm aud determined in his Southern poll
cy, ifthe South will give him the support
necessary to carry 1t out.-Letter from

A japanese traveller, Sionara 10y name,
has published his observations in this
country, and some of them are decidedly
entertaining. For example, lie warns US
that we can never again settle presidential
disputes by the method of eight to seven,
aud says that in Japan the projectors OF
our high commission, after giving rise to
so much dissatisfaction, would have TO
commit suicide. Though l do not ap-
prove this practice, think until countries
have arrived at an advanced political state
1t Is 10 some respects good. 1t makes men
very careful in proposing political plans"
Obviously. "In Japau," continues Siona-
ra, "all editors Of newspapers writing like
those in this country would lie obliged to
perform this act fsuieide) and even Mr..
Tilden, alter he had Got majority of nearly
100000 votes, could not survive his defeat
with honor; bat this is not because he has
used bad language, but because he himself
has been so much abused. For this reason
be would have TO commit sePpukd (sui-
cide)." There is something "childlike aud
bland" about this observer, albeit he is
japanese, not Chinese. The essay is print
ed from his manuscript without alteration,
30 as to preserve the original aroma of his
naive suggestions, and lie certainly sue
ceeds by his extreme simplicity in inpart-
ing new value TO very elementary state
ments. "The only thing to be done" in
this country, our observer tells us, I" is
abolish constitution, then all is simple"
The House Of Representatives is to have
more power, and can at any time oust the
executive by failing TO pass vote Of conf
denee. In that case the President must re-
| sign, together with his cabinet ministers,
who are chosen from the two houses. This
is free governmental is very simple; but
the American people do not yet understand
| it, having been so long blinded by hun
dred ysar-old constitution" The follow
ing is deliciously put: "The other day
was reading Declaration of Independence
saying every man was born equal, and
possesses inalienable right of life. liberty
aud the pursuit of happiness. This is only
talking. Constitution does not secure this
right. When 1 converse with colored per
son from Louisiana, he tells me life mo-
safe; liberty only limited, pursuit OF hap
| piness very difficult. White persons from
South Carolina tell me constitution pre-
vents pursuit of happiness for white people
in Southern States very much" Speaking
OF our hestancy in attacking the constitu
ton, he remarks: "I think American
politicians rather timid. Therefore 1 an

The American people are very
clever people. They do not require Ions
explanations; only they require a hint
They are so busy making money they have
not had time TO examine this matter

Two months have enabled the people of
this country to know their President very
we'll. Now, nobody ventures to suggest
that he is weak man. His opponents, in
deed, have concluded to represent that he
is politician of great sagaeity and skill
and a man Of singular courage and firm
Mesa cold, calculating, INSCRIPTIONS and
powerful leader. His friends find chat he
is all that they had ventured to hope. The
msjority Of citizens, astonished at the
strength and courage which he has shown,
and finding no trace of trickery in his
straightforward adherence TO noble pur-
poses boldly avowed, are especially gratifi-
ed because, even in two short months, he
has shown that he not only means to ac-
complish, but knows how to accomplish,
the great reforms for which the country
has especially longed.-NeO York Tribune,

POEM At THE urvEILmo or rHR STAT
IN cENTRAL PARE, N. T., MAY is, 1877.
Among their craven shapes to whom
Thy civic wreaths belong,
o. city Of his love! make room
For ono whose gift was song.
Not his the soldiers sword to WELD,
Not his the helm Of state,
Nor glory Of the stricken field,
Nor triumph Of debate.
In common ways, with common men,
He served his race and time
As well as II his clerkly pen
Had never danced 10 rhyme.
II, in the thronged and noisy mart,
The muses. found their son,
Could any say his tuneful art
A duty left undone7
He toilcd and sang; and year by year
Men found their homes more sweet,
And through a tenderer atmosphere
Looked down the brick-waIled 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- upraise
His vail with reverent hands;
And mingle with thy own the praise
Aud pride Of other lands.
Let Greece his nery lyric breathe
Above her hero-urns;
And Scotland, with her holly, wreathe
The flower he cued for Burns.
o, stately stand thy palace walls,
Thy tall ships ride the seas;
To-day thy poets name recalls
prouder thought than these.
Not less thy pulse 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 need we bring,
The praise delayed 50 long.
Too late, alas !-of all who knew
The living man, today
Before his unveiled face, how few
Make bare their locks Of gray.
Our lips Of praise must soon be dumb
Our grateful eyes be dim;
o, brothers of the days to come,
Take tender charge Of him!
New hands the wires Of song may sweep,
New voices challenge fame;
But let no moss Of years oer-creep
The lines Of Hslleck's name.
