The Rarrngnt Stnfue

WASHINGTON, April 25ih.-President
Garfield delivered the following address
at the unwilling of the statue of the late
Admiral Farragut:
FELLOW CITIZENS: It is the singular
province of art to break down the limi-
tations which separate the generations
of men from each other and allow those
fpast generations to be the comrades
and associates of those now living. This
heroes of other times. Men of three wars
have taken their places in silent elo-
quence as guardians and guards of the
nation they loved so well, and as the
wears pass on these squares and public
places will be rendered more and more
populous, and more and more eloquent
by the presence of the dead heroes of
other days. From all quarters of the
country, from all generations of Its life,
from all portions of its service these he
roes come, by the ministry and mystery
of art, to take their places and stand as
permanent guardians of our nations
glory. To-day We come to hail this hero
who comes from the sea, down from the
shrOuds of his flag ship, wreathed with
the smoke and glory of victory, bring
ing sixty years of national life and hon
or, to take his place as an hoIored COM
patriot and perpetual guardian of his
nations glory. In the name of the ma
ton, accept this noble statue, and his
country will guard it as he guarded his
country. [Applause.]
Ex-Postmaster General Maynard then
made an address, in which he recOunted
the life and service of Admiral Farragut,
and concluded with a graceful tribute to
the officers of the navy.
Hon. Daniel w. Voorhees, then, amid
loud applause, advanced to the front of
the speakers platform and delivered a
most eloquent address.
At the conclusion of Senator Voorhees,
address the marine band played Hail to
the Chief" followed by the admiral's sa-
lutte during which the troops presented
arms, drums beat, trumpets flourished,
and at the sound of the last gun the ad-
miral's flag was hauled down. The pro-
cesslon reformed, and giving the statue
marching salute proceeded 10 the exec
utiVe mansion and passed in review be-
fore President Garfield, his cabinet and
the senior officers of the army and navy.
The parade was soon afterward dis
missed
