Head Stones for Soldiers Graves.

An appropriation was made by Congress
some time ago for head stones for graves of
soldiers buried in all the National ceme-
teries of the country, as we'll as those in.
tered in other cemeteries. Through the
exertions of General A. Med. McCook, of
the Quartermasters Department, an order
has been issued to sink the stones to within
an inch or two of the surface, so as not to
be seen, and that the names of the soldiers
be inscribed upon the top of the stones.
Hon. Thomas L. Young. member of Con-
gress from the Second District oi Ohio, has
transmitted communication to the Board
of Directors of the Cemetery, and MIR.
Henry Probasco, the President of the
Board, has replied to the communication
in an appropriate manner, thanking the
authorities for the good taste displayed in
the matter of the erection OF the head
stones.

For nearly quarter of a century a
huge, unsightly pile of masonry has dis
figured the public grounds west of the
Smithsonian Institute, in the city of
Washington. 1t has neither the business
appearance of factory chimney or a
shot tower. 1t looks like the abortive
attempt Of some lunatic to reach the
heavens, or to place himself above the
vicissitudes of earth, like the people of
Babel. 1t is simply the result of an
abortive effort of ill-regulated patriotism
to do honor to the memory of Washing
ton. The cornerstone of this structure
was laid on July 4th, 1S4S. In eight
years it was carried to its present height
of one hundred and fifty-six feet at a
cost of $3.50, 900, collected of the people
in small sums, besides the costs
of many blocks Of stone pre-
sented by the different States.
In 1876 Congressional Commission was
created to supervise the completion of
the work, and $500, 900 was appropriated
for its continuance. This Commission
ascertained that the foundation was
defective and would not sustain the pro-
posed elevation. 100000 were there
fore appropriated for the purpose of
strengthening the foundation, and this
work has been steadily going on since
October, 1878, and will be soon completed.
On Friday last the District Commit
tee Of the House of Representatives re-
ported bill approprjating $677, 900 for
the completion of this questionable trib-
ute to the honor and fame of George
Washington. The original design for
this monument has been most severely
criticised and ridiculed, and it is safe to
say is generally odious to the American
people. The House Committee for the
District Of Columbia naturally feel that
something must be done for the interests
they represent and $677,O0 is a nice
little sop to throw to the people of Wash
hgton.

GRAND OPERA-H0USE.

GRAND oPERA-HoUsE.
Pat Rooney's big novelty combination
opened for the week last night at the
Grand. The programme was first-class
variety one. "Who Wrote Shakespeare"
was the opening piece, in which Lamont
Reynolds and Carter acted the principal
parts. In the Dutch act Morris and Fields
were great and hppo and Fannie Delano
the same in their specialties. As a vocalist
Miss George Kaine is one of the best we
have ever seen. The musical act by Wood
and Beasley was immense. Roonev, how
ever, Vas OF course the leading figure in
the performance and had again and again
to respond to the loud calls of the delight
ed audience. His Irish humor is unex-
celled.. The programme will be repeated
this evening.
THE PEOPLES THEATER.
The Peoples Theater, formerly the
White House. which was reopened Satur-
day nightafter receiving a number of i'm
provements, lived but a short while. Last
night the musicians threatened to get out
an attachment if they did not receive
their salaries, and the proprietor was COM
PEELED to close the doors to avoid the ca
lamity. The place will probably not be
open tonight

Heuck's in "Davy Crockett" supported by
Miss Stella Willis in The role of Eleanor

The piece was excellently mounted. Matt

before. Lizzie Smith supports him, as
sisted by the entire Company, including
Chas Lord.

COMMENTING upon affairs in Ire

branch organizations in Ireland, and
Parnell, Justin Mccarthy and other
leaders continue on the stump keeping
the movement solid. The tories pre-
dict the early fall of the Gladstone
government Ifthat prediction comes
true, it is extremely doubtful if a
general election will return the tories
to power. The tory policy is armed
coercion, hanging the land league
leaders or expatriation. There is no
evidence that the majority of the
British people indorse such policy" I"

HONORABLE Tom Allen, who lately
sold his Iron Mountain railroad to
Jay Gould, says that the life of rail.
road president requires the nerves and
strength of steam engine. He cites
as fact that the wear and tear of the
life killed Edgar Thompson, the late
president of the Pennsylvania Central,
and caused the paralysis of the present
president, Mr.. Scott. Standiford, the
late president of the Louisville and
Nashville, had to resign and go to
Europe to save his life. The railroad
presidents have an awful hard time Of
it and deserve to be pitied even if they
arenot. the engineers, wood-passers,
brakesmen and baggage smashers all
have a good time, no responsibility and
lots of fun. 1t is a great injustice to
young man to educate him up for q
railroad president and he is sure to
find it out when too late to correct the
mistake; not being fit for anything
else he has to stick to it until it kills
him or he breaks the company. Jay
Gould, poor fellow, stands it very well
50 far, but as soon as some university
turns out young man ft to take his
place he will no doubt go to Europe to
recupemte. There is some pleasure,
excitement and danger in twisting a
brake on top of freight train in slip
perry weather, but no fun in being a
railroad president, Never tryit, boys.

We learn from the Banner that
"most of the representatives-elect oil
the lower house have chosen their
seats. The Davidson and Shelby del
egation will occupy seats to the left Of
the speakers stand. The representa-
tives from Montgomery, Stewart,

main unclaimed. But few seats have
been selected in the senate chamber
Perhaps this is because the senators
are amore dignifed set, and will not
make rush for front seats. In the
senate chamber, however, one seat is
about as good as another, except that
the speakers chair is considered
above the rest.

THE Sprague scandal is again sluic-
ing through the columns of the papers.
Mrs. Sprague has filed a bill for d.
vGrca from her husband, William
Sprasue. 1t is very unhappy and
revolving piece of business ali around.
The bill charges brutality, violence
and all sorts Of ugliness on her hus-
band. Not long since the sympathy
was on the husbands side now it will
be divided. One thing is certain, the
peace Of once happy and enyied
family, in which wealth, culture, in
tellect and highest social position were
united, has been destroyed, Husband
and vile charge each other
with un!aithfdlness, aud a stig-
ma will illlow them and their
innocent children TO the grave. Satan
entered the Garden Of Eden, and all
that once was so fair aud beautiful
was destroyed. What a wreck OF
name, hopes, happiness and high posi-
ton, Kate Chase, daughter of the
late distinguished chief justice, almost
revered by the whole nation, was the
belle and pet ofaristrocratic society in
Washington. William Spaague was a
millionaire, was once a member of the
United States senate and was at
least on equal social terms with the
greatest men Of the country. Now he
is an exile frem bis own home, con.
tending for the custody Of bis children
and his own property, or a remnant Of
it; is charged with drunkenness and
various other crimes against the moral
and legal code. Society stands aghast
and pretends to be shocked, yet there
are papers to publish all that can be
said on both sides, and millions who
will devour all the disgusting details
With eager relish. Society is none the
better by these ugly revelations.

To sit in front Of CRATE white with
the heat of good coal, is a luxury very
enjoyable at this season. The Ken
lucky coal, sold by John Walsh, 23O
Second, is only fifty cents per barrel,
and furnishes a good fire, such as will
give satisfaction to every consumer.
He also sells Pittsburg coal at sixty
five cents per barrel, butthe great diff
ference in the price of the two kinds
is greatly in favor of the Kentucky
coal, considering its merits. Nearly
everybody in the Taxing District uses
coal, and John Walsh can supply them
all if they send him their orders.

A Steamboat Clerk Who is a
Little AbAent-5ainded.

A second warrant was sworn out
this morning against H. G. Hull, q
clerk on the steamer John T. Moore
He is now held on two charges, each
Of fraudulent appropriation of money
intrusted to him.
A few weeks ago a minister al
Helena gave Hull forty dollars il
money to pay to Murray & Ridgely
upon the arrival of the boat at this
point. Hull was absent minded and
forgot to deliver the money.
A short while after a customer oi
Messrs. Taylor & Arnold at Council
Bluffs gave Hull six dollars to hand
that firm as soon as he reached here,
Again fit of absent-mindedness took
possession of Hull, and he failed ia
deliver. He was sent to Jail to-day
to await trial.
