The Column bus Memorial.

To the Dis5f Of The EVENING" STAR:
fully concur with your admirable editorial
OF November eth last OF the propriety and need
OF a monument To the memory and honor of
Columbus in Washington. 1t is a shame to the
United States, and, in fact, to all North Amer
lea, that so little has been done thus far to per-
petuaie the renown OF its great discoEerer Still.
It is not too late 90 AN ACT not OF charity but
OF taFdy justice.
But it muss be obvious that anything which
tends I'D bring the name of Columbus 70 public
notice Will neip Forward your praise worthy sus-
gestiOa- The proposal TO change the November
Thanksgiving to October 18th mas gradually
enlarged itself To the idea OF annual .Cs,i,fst-
BUS Day." 20 be LIBERATED a. a thanksgiyiny
and popular festival not only in the United
States, but in every country OF North aud south
america Among the many letters in approval
OF this suggestion, which / have already re-
ceiyed froi4I distinguished statesmen and d.
vines, may mention fourteen from governors
OF states, bishops iittiejohn and Potter, the
Rev. DIR. john Hall, and the distinguished
rabbi. Rev. DIR. GOttheii.
The Sp3EiSh-Americ3n press has taken up
the idea with great zGai and do not know that
IL could be more beautifully expressed than in
the eloquent Language OF The editor OF Las Nov-
ett1deS lSew iork, January 20, which trans
late:
We cannot exaggerate the oPportIneness and

Coianbus Day (Dia dc coo.) would be the most
sympathetic and most genuinely American festival
which could be csiebTated by tie peoples that cont
neai, without distinct OF origin, religion language
or government IL would be the apCtheosis Of tie dis

DRY OF Columbus AID 70 al the that IA in this

The two suggestions in no way conflict but
are mutually helpful Every celebration OF

need oi the monument, W hich should be erected

Chinese DO Not Eat Rats.

The Baltimore San says: A young lady inter-
ested in the Chinese Sunday school connected
with Emmanuel church, writes that 1.-THE Chi
nese feel very much aggrieved at the popular
idea that they eat rats" few days ago an in
telligent Chinaman, who has lived i'm this
country for a number of years, spoke of the an
noyance, and said he would like every one to
know. "that the Chinese do not eat rats, but
squirrels" The popular delusion that rats con-
stitute great article OF diet among the Chinese
which was formerly in use. and may be now,
contained a picture of a Chinaman having upon
his shoulder a bamboo rod, from which are sus-
pended by their tails a number OF rats. In the
reading beneath the picture it is stated that in
China rats are eaten. The Cinnamon in this
city are in the main a very cleanly folk ia their
attire and homes, and their food appears to be
chiefly rice, which is q cheap though very

STATUE OF FAME.
The many friends Of the late John McCul-
Tough, says the New York World, will be pleased
I'd hear that the design tor the monument to be
erected TO the memory of the great actor has
been definitely decided upon, and that steps
are now being taken 10 raise the necessary
funds to defray the expenses of the memorial.
MesSrs. William NJ. Conner, OF New York. and
William +. Johnson and III. w. Canning OF
philadelphia, the members of the committee
who have charge of the details connected with
the erection OF the monument, are now send
ing ont circulars to persons who are expected to
subscribe to the fund. The circular states that
the committee have adopted a design in the
simple style of the Roman republic. II is pro-
posed To construct crypt for the remains, and
the superstructure is to be of granite thfty-two
feet high surmounted by a statue of Fame.
The open arch will cover a statue of the great
actor in bronze, heroic size, i'm the character OF
Iirginits, elevated upon a pedestal five feet
high. In difference to the wishes of the family
and the strongly expressed public opinion IT
has been decided to erect the monument in
Philadelphia. The cost OF the work will be
about S2l 900. 1t is felt by the committee that
this should be borne alone by the loving friends,
OF whom no one had more, last tribute to
one of the most genial of men; and to that end
the appeal of the committee Is sent for contri-
buttons according to the ability of those who
hold the memory OF John Mccullough dear.

The Evolution of Base Ea.; as Described

game OF base ball, now COIN moD?'
chow was round eat played?'' asked the
reporter.
'Weil, when first played it, was the answer,
"we had q base, and the ball was there batted.
We had but one base, and that was on circle.
As soon as the bali was struck the bat
thrown down. and IL the ball was caught and
The batter struck with it. or ii reached the base
before he did, he was considered out"
~ here We're the other Players was asked.
"There WAS no regular place" said the old
boy, '-excepting that they had 10 stand outside
OF the circle. OF course you have seen some
similarity. i little thought then that they
would get up game like tue present base bali.
can easily see how the game has been deyel-
Oped, for 1 remember twenty years after my
school days, instead of the circle and players
standing outside, three bases, one opposite the
batter, and the others at the sides were pro-
vided, aud If the Eall was thrown to either the
home base or any other one before the batter
reached IL he was out since then they have
added positions for the right, lett and center
Held. and have worked il up to a scientific
standard. Whenever / see one OF these games
played my mind goes back to boyhOod and
ask, ~ here the players OF that day?';
