there were no more shirts, white
shirts with tails, per capita, than
were borne on Falstaf's wash list
on the famous march to Coventry.
Indeed white shirts became obso-
lete in the early days of the war.
In point of fact Burnside, while
utterly reckless in his assault, pro
vided thoroughly for his retreat.
Instead of one, he had six pontoon
bridges to retreat over, all per-
fectly dominated by artillery ON

have been, by its fire, completely
unmasked and pulverized by the
Federal artillery.

ICE FIELDS.

New York, May 13.-Capt. Lord,
of the steamer Critic, which arriv-
ed last night, from Leith, makes
the following report: On May
9th, at 6 o'clock q. M, in latitude
As degrees north, longitude AZ de.
grees 10 minutes west, we found
a solid wall of packed ice inter-
rupting our forward progress, ex.
tending as far as. the eye could
reach in a west-northwest and
south.southwest direction. We
at ence decided to look for a pas.
sage to the southwark. This we
did, unsuccessfully, all day. AS
we advanced to the south, follow.
ing the outward or eastward curv.
ature of the ice, which at times
trended away to the west.sonth.

eastward and in some cases even
as far back as northeast, the ice.
bergs became exceedingly numer-
Gus. They were from 800 to 800
feet in height and of the dimen.
sions of large islands. The wealth.
er now became thick with fog, and
it was with the utmost difficulty
that we could thread our way
through them, the man on the
lookout no sooner reporting on
the starboad bow than he had to
repeat his report with one on the
port bow right ahead, etc. After
struggle of seventy.two hours,
we were able to steer clear of ice.
In all my experience at sea | have
never seen OF heard of such inn
mense quantities of ice in that lat

A Neat Piece of Composition.

Miss Lucy Buck, a young lady
of Front Royal, Va, recently
wrote to Grover Cleveland, asking
silken nectie for a crazy quilt,
to be made and sold for the bene-
fit of the poor. In reply, she re-
ceived pleasant autograph letter
from the President, enclosing an
elegant tie, for the purpose named.
Miss BIS letter was charmiugly
written in verse. 1t has never
been published before, and is, as
follows:

And then, when marry dear Jack, it Is plain,

TIE POE MONUMENT.
Justice TO his Memory.

IL was intended that when the
monument of Edgar Allan Poe
was unvailed in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art on Monday, DR..
John j. Moran, the physician in
whose arms the poet expired,
should rise and declare that Poe
did not die a drunkard's death.
When Chairman Sullivan stood
up to announce the Doctors pres.
ence Gilmore's Band burst into
the laundering chords of "Tann-
hauser," the audience rushed to.
ward the door, and before any.
thing, could be done to restore
order the opportunity of answer
ing the slaDderers of the poets
memory was gone. Edwin Booth
and many other gentlemen were
much annoyed about the omission
and DR.. Moran was quite grieved,
especially as he heard q man in
the audience say in a vulgarly
loud whisper to another, "Why,
what does the whole business
amount to auyhowi He died as
a sot in a fit of delirium tremens."
"The fact is," said DR.. Moran
yesterday to a Herald reporter,
"for four years preceding his
death Poe was a temperate, clear
headed man. If he had lived q
life of spotless virtue he would
have died at the time and place
he did. Drink and dissipation
had nothing to do with him in his
last hours. l will tell you the
story briefly.
"Poe was engaged to be married
to Mrs Maria GLENN, Of Rich
mond, Va. just before the day
set for the wedding he came to
Baltimore, on his way to Philadel.
phia and New York, where he
wished to settle his affairs with
publishers for whom he wrote.
He left his trunks at q hotel in
Baltimore and started on the train
for Philadelphia. Finding that
the Susquehanna River was rough
he declined to cross it in q boat,
and returned to Baltimore on the
same train. The conductor of the
train told me afterward that he
saw two well dressed men whom
he knew to be blacklegs watching
the poet in the car. When Poe
got off the train he walked toward
the docks, followed by these two
men. He was then dressed in a
fine suit of black. A few hours
later he was tound lying on q
plank upon some barrels at the
Laight street docks, within thirty
feet of a terrible den of iniquity.
He was insensible and had on an
i'll fitting garb of stained bomba-
zine clothing, an old straw hat, a
ragged shirt and pair of travel
worn, wretched shoes. His lady
love told me that she saw him the
day before and that he was ele-
gantly attired. Poe was undoubt.
edly drugged and robbed by the
two men who dogged his foot
steps. When he was brought to
the hospital and placed in my
charge there was not the slightest
sign or smell of strong drink
around him. He was in my charge
for sixteen hours and then he
died. During all that time |
watched him narrowly and he did
not display the slightest symptom
of a drunkard. The moment he
became sensible he said to me =
