and now Cathcart Hill is to be taken care
 of as monumental record of all the Brit
 ish who died in the Crimea. About seven
 ty feet has been added ali round to the
 old inelosure and consecrated, and a sub
 stantial wall surrounds the space, with
 house through which visitors pass into the
 cemetery Captain Hartford, who acts as
 English consul at Sebastopol, has taken a
 great interest in this work, and has got
 the place into very good order A number
 of the principal monuments from the other
 cemeteries have been moved and placed on
 Cathcart Hill. It would be impossible now
 to move the bodies, but the headstones if
 placed in this new cemetery, will be safe
 from damage and will be still records of
 those who fell. It is 8 heavy work to re-
 move these headstones, and some have to
 be carried a great distance; it is to be
 hoped that grant of money will be made to have this done now once and for all in
 proper manner. For much less impor- tant objects money has been subscribed by the public, but if the government did this part of the work which is their duty, a
 monument should be erected on the spot to all who fell, and that might be done by public subscription. During the siege Cathcart Hill was the commanding point everyone went to for the purpose of seeing Sebastopol and to get glimpse of the op- erations. All knew it. It is still the spot where visitors go to see the ground of the great struggle. The piece of ground has been made over to the British government, and a substantial and fitting monument on the historical ground would be record of ! the past as well as monument due to the memory of the brave who died. The Rus sians have done their duty in this respect s to their dead and we should not be behind them In addition to the memorial chapel in the Russian cemetery, a very fine new al chr haa middle of Sebastopo1 over the graves of four admirals who were killed, or, at least, died, in connection with the defense of the place. It was Admiral LazereM who crea- ted Sebastopol; the fortress and the Black Sea fleet were produced under him. He is one of the four admirals buried in the new church, and so proud are the Russians of the defense of Sebastopol that after the siege
 they erected monument-a statue on pc destal-to him in the midst of the ruins of the city he had founded. The statue is CO., lossal and stands in front of the ''White
 Buildings overlooking the harbor These
 ''White Buildings" which were barracks, are still roofess and in ruins, and the figure of the admiral, which is black, has rather ghastly appearance with such surroundings. The parade of the Salvation army in New
 London Wednesday evening was in reality retreat in the face of the enemy. Services in the barracks were in full progress and up ! to the standard in fervor when the nostrlls and throats of the worshippers were assailed by the pungent red pepper broiled on red hot stove, which once before routed the de- voted band. The army were naturally indig-
 nant at the scurvy trick and left in heavy marching order to invoke the aid of the po- s lice, but the enemy was of such kind that the cops could render no service nor any ad- vice beyond suggesting that the floor and mop boards of the barracks be caulked.- New London Day.
