A Notable Gathering at the State Capital
In Honor of the Martyfed President
Rain Seriously Interferes with the Exc
ercises.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 16.-The TWEEN
tieth anniversary of the death of Abraham
Lincoln was commemorated here yesterday
under the auspices of the Lincoln Monu-
ment association, assisted by the
German Turner Bund of North America
and the citizens of Springfield.
extensive and elaborate preparations
had been made, but the weather was too
bad to carry out the programme. From
morning until night warm, drilling rain
fell, and, as a result the parade and
march to the tomb with flowers and
music had to be abandoned Not
withstanding the inauspiciouS weather,
there were at least ten thousand people
from abroad who came to honor the mem
DRY of our beioyed Lincoln; and they
marched over the streets in column to the
Capitol unmindful of the falling rain.
1t was two o'clock in the afternoon be-
fore the final programme was deter
mined upon, and General A. Smith,
Chief Marshal of the day, held hur-
ried consultation with Generals Sherman
and McClernand, and it was determined to
hold the services of the occasion in the
basement of the Capitol. Word was sent
to all the organizations present, and move
was made by several.large bodies of men,
headed by bands of music, toward the
Capitol, by different routes.
Rev. Francis Springer, of Stevenson Post
No. 26, G. A. r., opened the exercises with
prayer This was followed by q memorial
song by chorus of one hundred voices.
The welcome address was delivered by
Governor Oglesby, who arose fully to the
occasion, and spoke at considerable length.
This was followed by the grand German
chorus singing the "l4incOln Hymn" writ
ten for the occasion By E. A. Zundt. Hon.
j. c. Conkling, of Springfield, then deliv-
cred an Grafton Of rare elOquence and with
much feeling. His address was lengthy,
but was listened to with rapt attention.
General John A. Logan, General Sher-
man, of ST. Louis, DR.. Starkloff, of St.
Louis, and others followed with short adj
dresses. Letters were read from President
Cleveland, ex-Presldent Arthur, Robert
Lincoln and ex-President Hayes, who all
expressed regrets at being unable to attend
the ceremonies. The Committee on Decora-
tions, accompanied by band of music,
went out to the cemetery and deposited a
floral tablet upon the grave of the honored
martyr. This was all that was done at the
cemetery.
The floral decorations at the monument
were profuse and magnificent. The finest
were from Chicago and st. Louis. There
were floral contributions from great
many cities of the West. The great
corridors and rotunda of the Capitol
presented the appearance of vast con-
servatory. The memorial hall, where
the regimental colors are preserved, was
beautifully decorated. The windows were
darkened and the hall was lighted up with
gas. Had it not been for the bad weather
the Observati on of this memorial day would
have been one of the most remarkable pub
lie demonstrations ever witnessed in this
country.

HOW BRONZES ARE CAST.
The Art-founder, Who Often Ruins the
Best Work Of the Artist.

Best WORK OF Cne ArClSt.
To make the matter clear / will sup
pose that one of the first artists of the
day modelled a statue which is to be
cast in bronze. The statue is a seated
female, half draped. She has bare feet
and raised arms. The drapery is full
of narrow deep folds designed to show
and emphasize the movement of the
figure. The statue is cast in plaster as
soon as the model in clay is finished,
and is handed over to bronze founder
-" art founder he will probably style
himself. The first thing he will do will
be to cut off the arms, because it is so
much easier to mold them separately.
Then he will probably cut off the body
at the line of the drapery; then he will
likely enough cut off the plinth. All
these pieces he will mold and cast sepa-
ra ely. They have to be then cleaned
up with chisels, punches and files to re-
move the lines left on them by the
seams of the mold, the latter having
been made of many pieces fitted to each
other in the same way as plece-molds
are made in plaster.
The seams left on plaster casts by
these latter are familiar to every one.
If there has been deep or intricate un-
der-cutting in any part, as in the hair,
the ears, or in the drapery, probably
this has been quietly filled in by the
founder-to the destruction of the ar.
lists work--in order that it may be
easier to mould. | know of one in

portant National monument was so
treated, to the disgust of artists. The
Nation was none the wiser All these
pieces having been cast and Scraped up
must now be put together. This is
done partly by means of screws and
rivets, partly by braisng the parts to-
gether, according to circumstances.
These joints have then to be worked

that the exact line of jointure may be
concealed; indeed, it is often requisite
to work over several inches on either
side to effect this purpose. Sometimes,
what between the lines of the mold
that have to be removed and the joints
that have to be worked over, there is
but little left of the touch of the original
artist. English Illustrated Magazine.

well, but" said Walter, "if you know
more than we do, you are the very per-
son that can advise. All / know is that
II we are not married now, shall have
to wait six months at least, and if /
stay here Mr.. BARLEY and | shall quar-
rel, and he will refuse me Mary; and i'll
go abroad again shall get knocked on
the head. or else Mary will pine away
again, and BARLEY will send her to
Madeira, and we shall lose our happi-
ness, as all shilly-shallying fools do"
Mrs. EastOn made no reply to this,
though she listened attentively to it.
She walked to the window and thought
quietly to herself; then she came back
again and sat down, and after pause
she said, very gravely, knowing all
know, and seeing all / see, advise you
two to marry at once by special license,
and keep it secret from every one who
knows you-but myself-till a proper
time comes to reveal it; and it's borne
in upon me that that time will come be-
fore long, even if Colonel Clifford should
not die this bout, which everybody says
he will"
ooh, nurse" said Mary family, II lit
tie thought that you'd be against me-"
Against you, Miss Nary" said Mrs.
East0n, with much feeling. II admire
Mr.. Walter very much, as any woman
must with eyes in her head, and love
him for loving of you so truly, and. like
a man, for it does not become man to
shilly-shally, but never saw him till he
was man, but you are the child Inurs-
ed, and prayed over, and trembled for
in sickness, and rejoiced over in health,
and left good master because / saw he
did not love you so well as | did"
THESE words went to Mary'S heart,
and she flew to her nurse, and hung
weeping round her neck Her tears
made the manly but tender-hearted
Walter give sort of gulp. Mary heard
it, and put her white hand out to him.
He threw himself upon his knees, and
kissed it devOtedly, and the coy girl was
won.
From this hour Walter gave her no
breathing time; he easily talked over
old Baker, and got him to excuse his
short absence; he turned his hunters in
to roadsters, and rode them very hard;
he got the special license; he squared a
clergyman at the head of the lake, who
was an old friend of his and fond of
fees, and in three days after her consent,
Mary and Mrs. EaStOn drove a four
wheeled carriage Walter had lent them
to the little hotel at the lakes.
Walter had gallOped over at eleven
O'Clock, and they all three took a little
walk together. Walter Clifford and
Mary BARLEY returned from that walk

sighed for Russian soups or French rag
outs; for the fact is that under the title
of boiled beef there exist two things,
one of which, without any great i'm
propriety, might be called Junk; but
this was the powdered beef of our an
cestors, huge piece just slightly sailed
In the house itself, so that the generous
juice remained in it, but the piquant
slices, with the mealy potatoes, made a
delightful combination The glasses
were filled with home-brewed ale, spark

Madeira. They all ate manfully, stimu-

outshone all her former efforts, and al
though she couldn't satisfy Mrs. Gill

Hope drove Mary home in the dog

comfort, but she was not treating him
with confidence; indeed she was passive
ly deceiving him, and that chilled her;
but then it would not be fer long, and
that cOmforted her; and yet even when
the day should come for the great doors
of Clifford Hall to fly open to her, would
not sad, reproachful look from dear
Mr.. Hope somewhat embitter her cup
of happiness? Deceit, and even re-
ticence, did not come SO natural to her
as they do to many women; she was not
weak, and she was frank, though very
modest.
Mr.. BARLEY met them at the door,
and owing to Hopes presence, was
more demonstrative than usual. He
seemed much pleased at Mary's return,
and delighted at her appearance.
