An interesting scene was witnessed at
Kearney, n. j., Christmas day, when the
new works OF the Clark Thread Company,
recently completed at cost of over ST.
100000, were put in motion. When all
was in readiness Miss Bessie Clark,
daughter Of member of the firm, gave
slight turn to a small wheel, when in
stantly there was culver in the recently
inert mass, the pOnderous fiy-wheel began
to turn, slowly at first, then gaining mo-
mentum as the force began to Concentrate,
it communicated power to the immense
belts, two feet wide and 1850 feet long,
and then IN every part of the structure the
machinery began to work, until the whole
building was humming and pulsating
with new life. Most of the machinery of
this immense establishment was built in
this country, and is claimed to be equal
to the best foreign product.

OF military music. The monumental sta
tues Of statesmen and OF the heroes Of the
Revolution and OF the War OF Secession
are presented In bold relief, and teach les
sons OF patriotism to all generations. 1t
may be thought chimerical, visionary, and
weak. but / do not hesitate to say, were
all other things equal, this would have a
preponderatiDg weight with me In the
selection OF the proposed location. Ha-
bituate the people TO scenes like these,
and all the nober virtues will be
increased and strengthened. Places OF
historical interest, where some great
event has been enacted, will ever be the
best school for patriotism. The fields OF
Marathon, Platea, and Thermopyle are re-
vered, and in our own country we turn with
pride to the backgrounds OF Lexington,
Bunker Hill, Saratoga. Monmouth, and
Yorktown, and to the blood-stained fields
in Virginia In our recent struggle. Leay-
ing, however, these reflections, which may
be called romance, but which are in fact
germain to the subject and important fac
tors in the problem before us, we turn to
examine the pecuniary aspect OF the ques-
ton. The city OF Richmond, having al
ready in possession large portion OK the
ground necessary for the purpose, pro-
prosed to buy for about $40, 900 the lot OF DR..
Tupper. That is the only outlay required.
and then the city will possess a lot amply suf-
ficient for hall TO accommodate the courts
and the municipal departments. II another
lot be selected-say the Swan-Tayern lot
no one expects to purchase it for less than
$4,000. This is the minimum price, but
it may be that property-holders- for there
ale more than one-seeing the necessity
OF the city, may ask more than is an
tIcipatcd, and make the amount 100000.
IL will he necessary to sell the old city lot,
rs the city will then have no use
for it, and, there being few competitors at
the sale, il may not realize more than
$4,000. II, then, the Swan-Tavern lot
costs $4,000, deduct $4,000, and $4,000
will be the amount to be advanced by the
city. Suppose it should cost 100000, de-
duct $4,000 obtained for the old Clty-liall
lot, and there will remain 100000 TO be paid
by the city. 1t will be rs well to bear it in
mind that $4,000 for the City-Ilall lot may
be regarded by prOperty-holders as a very
high price, inasmuch us the lot is not de-
sirable for residences and Is unsuitable for
stores. What, then, will be the result? 1t
will be a delusion and a snare, and the city
will be compelled to issue its bonds for, or
pay i'm currency from So, 600 to 800, 900 for
a lot Of doubtful adaptation. and lose for 4
mere song its valuable and beautiful City
Hall lot, with its many attractions. She
will, moreover, select a site inferior to the
present in situation, airinesS, health, qui-
etude. beauty Of scenery and adaptablity
for judicial proceedings and the municipal
offices OF the city government. For the
above reasons the voice OF the people will
sustain the Council In the purchase Of Dr.
Tupper's lot, and in the whole transaction
thus save from $4,000 to $4,000.

an excellent likeness Of Captain George w.

following brief allusion to his war record !:

youths at AppomatoX who watched the
