a Suggestion ns to ITS Material From an
Enthusiastic Virginian.
General w. S. Rosccrans has received
a communication of twcnty-cight full
lcttcr-sizc pagcs-rathcr too long for pub
lication-from Col j. NJ. McCue, of
Staunton, Va, in which he enthusiast
cally indoIscs the movement in favor of
the Soldiers Memorial and makes a
number of very valuable suggestions.
Among others, that there is not a stone
quarry IN the country but would be glad
to furnish highly-wrought stone
to the building, which, If built OF gran
itc, could be faced within with different
kinds of metals and minerals from the
various States. lie suggests that gran
itc stone could hc procured from nearly
every battle field of the American sol
dicr, from Quebec TO New Orleans,
thence to tho lava beds of Oregon.
The General referred Col. McCucs let
ter TO the originator of the proposition,
and it will receive due consideration at
the proper time.
If Col. MGCuc were possessed of the
wealth of n Jay Gould the building
would be in process of construction as
soon as the plans could be drawn and
determined.
The Critic notes, with pleasure, the
growing enthusiasm i'm this matter, but
must request its friends to condcnse their
expressions to the greatest possible cX-
tent, or it will be compelled to change
its title to the Washington Critic limi-
ted.
We have had to forcgo the publica-
tion of number of excellent commune
cations upon the " Memorial on account
of their length, but us time and oppor.

them. So the friends of the movement
who have not seen their views expressed

How a song Was written.

Miss Ellie |. Canning, Maine girl, wrote
the popular song, 'Rock-a-By Baby" She
was AT Ocean Spray Il summer resort and was
swinging a child in hammock on the piazza,
when she began singing TO it, improWsing as
she sang The strain finally resolved itself
into the nucleus Of the "Rock-a-By" chorus.
Aftorward, while travelling, Miss Canning
thought out in rough way the words which
are associated with the tune. Subsequently
she tried to play the tune on the banjo. Her
teacher recognized tho merit Of the compost
ton and advised her to have It published,

TILE nISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

Major Raymond stated to Critic re-
porter to-day that tht law prohibiting
the erection of overhead wires on the
streets and avenues of Washington will
be rigidly enforced. The District, if it
wants additional wires, he says, will not
be allowed to erect them, unless the At
torncy for the District thinks they have
right to make an exception where the
wires are needed for the public service,
and he don't think any such exception
can bc made. The Gamcwcll Fire Alarm
and Police Signal Company, who got the
contract to put the patrol system into
the Third Police Precinct, had very
short time within which to erect their
lines, but they have their wires up, al
though some of them will need tighten
ing, as they were evidently strung hur-
ricdly, in order to get them up before
