The Lincoln Monument,

SCULPTOR FLANNERYS PLAN.
The Lincoln monument in front of the CITY
Hall, by the march of improvements, has been
put in quite serious dilemma occupying the
middle OF the sidewalk. Some steps were taken
by Judge Cartier and the District Commissioners
to haveit moved back tOwardsthe City Hall where
it would be in the parking andlowered AS there
is no fund available, nothing has been
done. The sculptor, Mr.. Flannery is looked to
as the proper person to superintend the removal.
He states that in case he breaks the statue he
willreplace it. Mr. Flannery's plan is to lower
the statue twelve feet. He proposes to do this
by sinking the base some two or three feet and
taking away the cappings on top of the shaft.
together with a section of the shaft. The statue
will then rest upon the shaft itself. This would
lower it enough" said Mr.. Flannery to STAR
reporter to-day, $50 that the features could be
seen. 1t is now too high. When it was placed
there the popular feeling was so strong that it
was feared some one would attempt to break it,
SO it was placed high from the ground" The
Flannery statue was the first one ever made of
Lincoln. Chief Justice Carter takes special
interest in it,

jackson Grove Camp Meeting.


FOR THE MEETING WHICH BEGINS TOMORROW
Especial Correspondence Of THE EVENING srARJ
JACKSON GROVE, A. COUNTY. Nd, July 9th
lsS1.-The annual camp meeting of the Metho-
dist Professionals Of this section and their friends
will close on Tuesday August 10th From ap-
pearances it will be the largest camp ever held
in this grove. From time to time for over half a
century camp meetings have been held in this
spot, and it is related that at one of the early
meetings there was not a single penitent until
after the meeting formally closed and some fam
lilies had left the ground; then the prayer meet
lngs being resumed, scores of people were con-
verted. Since about 1870 meetings have been
regularly held here. the Methodist Episcopal
church of Washington district holding several,
and Severn circuit NJ E. Church one
or two in the nature of union meet
ings-the campers representing all denOml-
nations. The Methodist Protestants held their
first regular camp here i'm 1878. it being the
semi-centennial of the church. and subsequently
they purchased the farm of 100 acres i'm which
the grove is enclOsed-a stock company being
formed therefor. The camp ground is located
south of Severn arch. on the B. Il P.R.R. and
walk of less than 200 yards bring the visitor
into the circle. The soil being sandy. the rains
which generally fall in the camp meeting season
are quickly absorbed. and the springs at the
foot of the hill it has been calculated are suffi-
Gent to supply an army.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE GROUNDS.
As has been stated heretofore. there has been
considerable improvement made about the
grounds-the ''circle" Ga parallelogram in fact)
having been made larger and new tabernacle
erected in place of the one wrecked by the snow
and ice last winter; also new boarding tent
stOre-hOuse and Office erected and the woods
cleared of underground. Last year the boarding
tent was conducted by the committee, but this
year Mr. G. B. Weibert of Georgetown (whO at
the meeting of 1879 proved himself equal to
the task has the sole management. Messrs.
Hunt and Weaver run the store. and on the
ground is photograph gallery and barber shop.
Thus far there are some IS tents in place. which
will be occupied by families from Baltimore,
Washington. Georgetown, Alexandria. West
minister, CheStertOwn. and Prince George and
Anne Arundel counties.
THE MANAGEMENT OF THE CAMP
The general management of the camp will be

Correspondence Of THE EVENING SrARl
FALLS CHURCH. VA, July 18th. 1881.
The unfriendliness of the present growing sea-
son to the man-horticulturist and fruit
grower, is manifest in several particulars. Corn
did not come up well. 1t is pretty difficult to
tell. for instance, what has been the fact In the
springing up of the planted corn for forty years
OF ones observation, one year is compared
with another or with all the rest. without an ac-
curate and full record of transactions and results
for the time. to aid the memory and the judg-
ment. Nevertheless it seems to me that this is
the worst one to get good stand in the field
that l have ever seen. have known instances
where corn has been planted and replanted three
times and not a really first-rate stand obtained
then. The seed seems to look good and planted
at one time sprung up well, but at another it
was bad failure. But the farmer has one thing
in his favor, the corn that did terminate has
grown well.
The apricots that bloomcd so nicely generally
rotted before the fruit was half grown.
Peach trees. when i'm a few cases blossomed
moderately full, have not thus far ''panned out"
at all. The fruit dropped off larger per cent
than ever before, and Of that which did hang
on the trees of the early varieties it was stung to
the last peach, apparently: and of what escaped
tic uIoppiIiS pefi0Q more IMAM nail fotted, ana
the small residue was aStonishingly small and
spoiled by the curculio. There does not appear
to be prospect of any good peaches of the late
varieties.
There was liberal acreage of early potatoes
planted last spring. but l have not heard any
grower express himself on the yield who has not
said that it is small. A few days of dry weather
when the tubers are setting or swelling out, will
shorten the crop, early potatoes never delay on
account Of the ,cedtber.

Have you noticed that when you
want to take hold of anything-a bit
of thread, we will say-that it is al.
ways the thumb who puts himself
forward, and that he is always on one
side by himself, while the rest are on
the other? If the thumb is not help
ing nothing stops in your hand, and
you don't know what to do with it,
Try, by way Of experiment, to carry
your spoon to your mouth without
putting your thumb to it, and you
will see what long time it will take
you to get through poor little plate
full Of broth. The thumb is placed
in such u manner on your hand that
it can face each of the other fingers,
one after the other, or all together, as
you please, and by this we are ena-
bled to grasp, as with a pair of pin.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Editor Register:

Editor Register:
most heartily endorse the course
of your paper upon the license ques,
ton, as does all the substantial citi.
zens of Mason county. What does
drunkenness bring? Let US enumer-
ate:
Hunger and distress will be found
at the home Of the drunkard, he will
waste his estate, reduce his family to
beggary, his brutality will make his
home very hell, he will starve his
wife and children, and often end
their existence by slow or outright
murder.
And all these woes spring from the
licensed dram-shop, which causes far
greater injury to a community, than
many are willing to admit. The in
jury done by the saloon keeper is not
confined to his own family, or his as
sociates, but he reaches far out and
robs helpless families of their sup
port, he ensnares and ruins young
men, he is the father Of idleness, the
creator Of drunkenness, he holds the
poisoned cup to the lips of his vic.
Tins, robs them of their reason and
steals their money, he beggars fami-
lies, he is the seducer of youth from
the paths of rectitude, to the road to
ruin, violence, murder and despair
His business is injurious to every
community that is cursed with his
presence, his cause is as infamous as
the highwayman, he takes his vic
tins hard earnings without giving
any consideration, to live by such a
calling is simply dishonest-to IL
cense the sale of Intoxicating liquors
is to legalizo robbery.
God forbid that our county shall ev-
er again be cursed with licensed sa-
looms. We have had enough of
them. And if our officers are men
of nerve, they will soon put an end
to those secret places of drinking SO
much TALKED Of. X.

True 10 lis Early Love.

~ 4 I -
Eighty years ago there lived in
the village Of Flatbush'a young fel.
low who had just begun life as a
milkman. Early every morning he
carried his burden of milk to the
Brooklyn water-side, rowed his skill
across the East river to the Fly Mar
ket slip in New York, and went his
rounds among the citizens who dwelt
around the Battery. Two years later
he married a girl Of his own age; they
were just nineteen. He was a rough
sort Of fellow, and as years went on
he was sometimes given to drink, as
was not unusual in those days, but
for her he had only kindness and af-
lection. So for seventy-six years
they lived together. Two years ago
the wife died at the age Of ninety.
five. The husband was still vigor-
Gus in body, but mind had weakened,
and when his companion left him
forever he could not seem to realize
the change. Ever since then he is
constantly expecting her to return
from some neighbours house, or fan
cying that she is by his side. When
evening comes he calls for his daugh-
ter, a woman advanced in years, and
wants to know where mother can be
SO late. "Bring me the lantern" he
will say, sand | will go and find hel
she must be at one Of the neigh
bors'." In the winter nights his
daughter hears his voice summonine
her to his bedside. Margaret" he
will say, ~ am afraid mother is cold
Put some more clothes on her.
\ And the daughter finds that the ole
man has thrown the bed clothes from
his own body to where he fancies his
companion Of many years is lying
So we see how, when the mind il
wandering, the heart keeps true &c
| its early love.
