TO DANIEL WEBSTER.

Presentation to the State of New Hamp-
shire of a Bronze Statue of Daniel Web
ster BY Benjamin Pierce Cheney, of Bos-
ton-ImposiDs Ceremonies - Description
of the Work.
CONCORD, N. H., June 1.-THE statue
of Daniel Webster, presented to the State
by Mr.. Benjamin Pierce Cheney, of Bos-
ton, was dedicated to-day with imposing
civic and military ceremonies. The
statue has been erected in the State
house park, about one hundred yards east
of the Capitol. The pedestal is of the
finest Concord granite, and was designed
by Thomas Bell, who also executed the
model of the statue at Florence, Italy,
the casting being made at Munich.
1t is eight feet high and weighs
1000 pounds. Webster wears an
old-style dress suit, his ample coat being
closed around him by the two central
buttons, and its large, rolling collar dis
closes plain shirt-front. The bottom
of the vest is shown below the coat, and
the trowsers are full and flowing. The
neck is encircled by a broad, turned
down collar. The arms are at the sides,
the thumb and index finger of the right
hand being open with the remain
ing fingers, partly closed, while
the left hand holds partly
opened manuscript. The head represents
Webster in his later years and is said to
be remarkably life-like. The figure
stands on a light bronze base, 32x30
inches in size, and in the rear of the right
leg there is an irregular pile of books,
surmounted by manuscript. The pedes-
tai is a single stone, about nine feet
square. On the front and center of the
pedestal are the words, cut in polished
raised letters:
"DANIEL wEBSTER.'
The other side contain bronze panels,
that on the north bearing the coat of
arms of New Hampshire and the inscrip-
ton:
'Born at Salisbury, n. H., January is, 1872"
The south tablet contains the coat of
arms of the commonwealth of Massachu-
sets and the legand:
eDied at Marshfield, Mass, October "a,
1852"
On the west side is the following:
Presented by Benjamin Pierce Cheney to
the State of New Hampshire, January Is.
1886.
The height of the pedestal and statue
is ILLS feet and the entire cost was S12,-
900. To comply with a generally ex-
pressed wish of the artist and the mu-
nicipal authorities of Munich, the statue
was placed on exhibition several days
prior to being shipped to the United
States.

1t was molly assembly, in all sorts
of uniforms and without any uniform
at all, with all sorts of weapons and
with precious little powder. So little
was there, that Washington was very
anxious lest the British should find out
how little he had; and so while he was
urging Congress to provide supplies, he
had barrels of sand with powder cover
ing the top, placed in the magazine, so
that any spy hanging about might be
misled. Some of the soldiers were in
tents, some were quartered in one or
two college buildings then standing, and
some built huts for themselves. The
most orderly camp was that of the
Rhode Island troops, under General
Nathaniel Greene.
The men were in companies OF
various sizes, under Captains and other
officers who had very little authority
over the privates, for these usually
elected their own commanders. A visit
or to the camp relates dialogue which
he heard between a captain and one of
the privates under him.

Blackstone.
In the little manufacturing village OF

and more past has been seen lonely
grave marked with two white stones.

tain, still later Boston.
In the section which is now known as
the West End, Mr.. Blackstone, who
was lover of nature and of solitude,
built his cabin, and upon the western
slope of Beacon Hill he laid out and
planted his garden. Later on, when
the town had become too thick1y popu-
lated for his tastes and desires, Mr..
Blackstone removed to the banks of the
beautiful river which received and still
bears his name. In the fullness of time
he was gathered to his fathers and bur-
led near the banks of the river.
The march of modern progress has
rendered it necessary to lay the founda-
lions of a great cotton mill upon the
spot where he has rested for two centu-
ries, and, accordingly, on a recent
afternoon, in the presence of Lorenzo
Blackstone, of Norwich. Conn, lineal
descendant of the old settler, Prof.
William GammeH, president of the
Rhode Island Historical Society, and
others, the grave of William Blackstone
was opened. But few human remains
were found, but still quantity of bones
and coffin nails were discovered and
carefully preserved. These were placed
in suitable receptacle, and the spot
where the grave had been was carefully
marked. When the mill is completed
the remains will be reinforced in the
very spot whence they were taken,
which will be in the basement of the
mill, and fine monument will be erect
ed over them-B0StON Post

upon investigation the case developed
other irregularities, which, had he known
at the time, he would not have rendered
