was to tell you little more
about the wonders of Chateaugay
Chasm, although L feel that no Ian
guage of mine can give you even
faint outline of what the chasm is in
its entiety. We visited Vulcan's
cave, 60 feet above the bed of the
river, and perhaps 100 feet from the
top of the cliffs. | understand it was
never visited by man until about two
years ago, and then with the greatest
difficulty; now it has an enclosed
stairway. 1 should judge the interi-
or of the cave to be fully thirty feet
square, and the walls and roof pre-
sent an interesting study to those in
terested in geology. The sand stone
seems to be wearing away gradually,
thus shaping the harder deposits in
every variety of form. Here are
architectural pillars supporting
huge arches, and there you see min
iature dormer windows and inches,
while grotesque forms of demons and
angels, and odd shapes of unfn-
ished statues of variety of colors,
and tiny streams of water tinkling
down these walls and green masses
make bright the gloom of this won
drous peak of nature. Another
point of interest is Pioneers Cross
ing, where the walls of the chasm
gradually approach each other, so
that the distance across the gulf at
the top is only about twenty-five feet.
1t is said that years ago this spot was
spanned by bridge which formed a
part of the great highway of the will
derness. There are many. interest
ing traditions regarding this locality.
Just to the north table rock rises up
from which giddy height the view
down the chasm is wild in the ex-
IRENE this place is also called Point
Lookout. We now descend and pass
to Pulpit Rock, where we pause to
find seats on which to rest, and moth
ing seems so appropriate as to rest
in this wild region, with the spray
from the river cooling our heated
brows, the roar of the falls in the
distance and the dashing water at our
feet. We feel like singing Crock of
Ages" and with the psalmist to ex-
claim, 80, Lord, how manifold are
thy works." We next visit the grot-
toes of Juno, Venus and Minerva,
and these form one of the most inter-
esting features of the locality. These
grottoes are entered through arches,
architectural in appearance, although
they do not extend far into the rocky
side of the chasm they seem to lead
to the land of enchantment. This
wonderful place that have been try
ing to describe is only five hours ride
from Montreal, and it will pay the
pleasure seeker and tourist to visit.
The Chasm House is neat, unpre-
tentious building that will accommo-
date IS OF 80 guests and no pains is
spared to make the guest feel at home
while sojourning in Chateaugay.

The St. Johnsbury Granite Company
has received contract for a soldiers
monument to be set upon the held OF
Gettysburg for the One Hundred Twen-

Thomas H. Garfield of Burlington is
one of the largest farmers of the North
west, and works five thousand acres for
the best quality of seed wheat. He has
sixty miles of fencing, three hundred
blooded cattle. seventy horses and i'm
mense flocks Of sheep.
The committee of the Bennington his
torical society appointed to consider the
designs for the battle monument have
recommended that submitted by M. j.

is for shaft three hundred feet high,
to be built of Bennington blue limestone.
While shooting at target with rifle,
S. d. Damon of Ripton met with quite a

powder. The sight will not be destroyed.

Geo. L. Hastings, about forty years of

dead in the road between that place and

who did not discover the body until he

THE FUNERAL.

The funeral of Gen. Grant, as I'M
derstood at this writing, will be held
by the family at Mt. McGregor on
next Tuesday. Rev. DR.. Newman,
the friend of the family, will officiate
and the ceremonies will be simple.
The body will then be taken to Alba
nv where it will remain in state in
the capitol for one day. August 5,
the body will be taken to New York,
where they will lie in state in city
hall till Saturday, August 9Th. The
funeral procession will be immense.
SO large number of public bodies
have indicted their intention OF wish
to be present that General Hancock,
who has has charge of this part of
the ceremonies Is already embarras-
sed by the great numbers. 1t is
said the Grand Army alone have
volunteered to the number of 2O0,-
900. Applications for places in the
line continue to pour in from all
parts of the country. Gen. Hancock
announced Tuesday evening that
these arrangements had been, decided
upon The 4th artillery of Fort Adj
ans, under command of Maj. Adj
ans, will fire salute at Mt. Nc
Gregor and the 9Th artillery at Fort
Hamilton will fire the salute on the
day of the funeral at New
York. Gen. Hancock and staff, &C
companied by Gen. Sherman, will go
to Mt. McGregor on the night of
August 2. The remains will be con-
veyed by train consisting of car
for the family, one for the remains,
two for the escort, which will num-
Der not more than 60 men, one for
the clergy and pail bearers, one for
Gen. Hancock and staff and one for
the press. The first stop will be at
Saratoga, and the second at Albany.
At the latter place Adjutant-Gen.
Farnsworth will assume charge of
and remove the remains to the cap
itol. From Albany to New York
city the remains will be in care of
Gen. Hancock. Having arrived the
1st division of state militia will es-

there a guard will be placed until the
day of the funeral.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR
Washington, Julq 9th.

Washington, July 9th.
The public buildings of the city |
are more deliberately swathed in
black than ever before except on the
death of President Garfield. The in
terror department, presided over by
Secretary Lamar, is more heavily
and artistically draped than any
other, and the national flag over the
pension Office is bordered with Grape.
There is much dissatisfaction here on
account of the selection of New York
as the burial place of General Grant,
and an effort will probably be made
to have the place of interment chang
ed to this city.
The president has made change
in his plans for summer vacation.
1t is quite likely he will not visit the
Adirondacks until the middle of
August and then remain away from
Washington through the month of
September. 1t was his intention to
leave the white house next Saturday
evening for New York, but the death
of Gen. Grant caused HIM to change
his mind, and he will thus be enable
TO give little more time to public
matters. During next week he will
not receive visitors outside of the
cabinet ministers and bureau chiefs,
as there are a number of important
matters to be settled before he can
get away from the city.
Among other problems is that of
fixed policy for the protection and
support of the Indians. 1t may be
deemed judicious to transfer them to
the war department. There is no
question that the president is very
much pleased with the result of Gen.
Sheridan trip to the scene of trou-
BILE with the Cheyennes. He is con-
WINGED that strong measures alone
have any weight in dealing with the
aborigines. The matter will be set
tied by the president next week at
one of the cabinet meetings.
There will be few important offices
filled before the president goes away,
as he considers that the necessities
of the country, for the present have
been met. There will consequently
be no haste in this matter.
DR.. Ward of Albany, mas accepted
the presidents invitation to go fish
ing. and will meet his host in New
York after the funeral of General
Grant. 1t is not likely that Miss
Cleveland will accompany her BROTH
at the funeral ceremonies, as she
finds it indispensable that she should
obtain all the rest and quiet that she
can in the country. Although not
seriously lndisposed the duties she
was called upon to perform at the
white house. fatigued her very much.
The family physician prescribed
plenty of pure air for few weeks.
Cabinet ministers and heads OF
bureaus generally spend considerable
time away from Washington In sum-
mer. This has been carried to an
extent of actual abuse, since public
/ business of all kinds must wait upon
their action. The absence of head
of department always perceptably
liglitens the work of his clerks, and
it is SO absurd 10 hold or act upon
: the doctrine that the chief can take
his ease as he pleases, but the sub.
ordinate must stick to his desk, even
when the chiefs absence leaves him
nothing to do there.

A PROCLAMATION BY THE
GOVERNOR.

The sad tidings of the death of our il
lnstrious countryman, General Ulysses
S. Grant, has already been heralded by
wire, through the press and by Presiden-
tial proclamation, to the mourning mill
ions of the Nation, and Saturday, the 9Th
day of August, has now been anthor-
itatively designated as the day for the ma
tional obsequies of a bereayed people over
the mortal remains of their greatest mil
itary leader, ex-President and beloved
fellow citizen.
A people who have constantly watched
the great sufferer through the weary
months that disease has preyed in slow
but total progression upon him, and not

patience and fortitude he has met and en-

HEAD OFF.

Gen. W. H. Wells, of Burlington,
has been removed from the collector
ship of Vermont, and Brad. B.
Smalley is appointed in his stead.
The president while he has been very
anxious to remove Gen. Wells to
give place to Mr.. Smalley, has found
himself badly embarrassed by the
civil service rules, and has sought to
find some cause for Gen. Wells re-
moval on the line of "offensive par
tisanship." Gen. Wells is republi-
can, and no fear of removal and no
personal consideration would allow
him TO seek to conceal his views, yet
in any sense he has not been an
"offenslve" partisan. He has been
faithful, honest man and is enti-
titled to respect and recognition by
his government. Mr.. Smalley is an
honest, jolly. rollicking good fellow,
always a noisy, pleasant politician OF
the democratic sort. He deserves
nothing special of his country either
for extraordinary ability or for good
deeds done, but he is popular with
his party, and is having wide
swing in the slaughter of republicans
and the resurrection of the democra.
cy to places of honor and emolument
We are glad to hear that Mr.. Smalley
does not prefer any charges agains
Gen. Wells, but puts the cause re-
remover where it belongs. TIL,
democrats won at the polls and the,
should hold the offices. This il

AS it has been decided to bury the
remains of Gen. Grant at New York
the following in regard to the place
of sculpture will be of interest:
The site chosen for Gen. Grants
tomb is on a sort of promontory on
the Hudson River, and is the highest
point in Manhattanville. The out
ward swell of the promontory begins
at One Hundred and Twenty-second
street, and the river bank returns to
its regular line at One Hundred
Twenty-ninth street. The summit Of
this elevation is an almost level pla-
teau of something more than twenty
acres on the river side. The descent
is abrupt. At its foot, 200 feet be-
low, are the tracks of that branch of
the Hudson River Railroad that runs
into the West Thirtieth Street Depot !;
on the northwest is the ferry to Fort
Lee, and on the north and northeast
red brick stores, houses and manu-
factories of Manhattanville cluster
around the base of the hill. If the
observer looks to the south he has
opened before HIM the long vista of
Riverside Park and its III acres of
driveways, hewn-stone walls and an
cient oaks and naples on the steep
slopes of the Hudson. Around about
in the vicinity is unimproved private
property which will doubtless become
the site of handsome villas, lawns
walks and shrubbery. The spot sug
gests revolutionary war memories
Fort Lee is opposite, the old for
in Central Park is on the southeast
Fort Washington is on the north
and the highlands near West Poin
shut in the horizon beyond the Tap
pan Zee. No structure can be erect
ed to break the uniformity of thu
view, as the water front and the parl
belong to the city. The temporar.
tomb to receive the body will bt
built of brick. H
