A Startling Sight.
The sight unusual to the great majority
of those present, was a most interesting
one, and startling when the great streams
Of glowing, golden, molten bronze was
poured from the huge metal ladle held by
a crane and guided by workmen, into the
huge Atal clamped mold placed at an
incline. There was Of course an excess Of
metal, and there seemed to be more Of it.
yesterday than usual, for the fluid bronze,
when the mold was full, spurted aboi
almost burning the feet OF one Of the work
men. One Of the men was overcome by tho
heat and excitement and had TO go home.
A Figure Of Heroic Size.
The metal was first taken from the fur
naces in nine plumbago crucibles and
| poured into the ladle In all they had some
| 4,500 pounds Of metal The figure Of Mr..
| Beecher is Of heroic size, nine feet in height,
/ and will stand on a granite pedestal of
about the same height lie stands wearing
| his familiar cape overcoat, the straight cut
undercoat befng also open, with his soft
hat in his left hand and his right band ex-
tended, as II addressing public meeting. 4
II WIZ Cost S35. 900.
Mr.. Ward has yet TO model the three fig
ures which are 10 stand at either side of the
| pedestal, and the monument will not be
completed until next spring. Its cost wiz
be s35000
The figure at the left Of the base will be
that Of negro girl-a liberated slave who
looks up in admiration. Those on the right
| will be Of young boy, rather poorly clad,
who looks up also, aud Of young girl,
who reaches to lay some flowers on the
plinth
Among those present at the casting were
the Rev Lyman Abbott. MIR, w q. Beecher,
| ason Of the subject; Mr. Ward, the sculptor;
Messrs. Charles Hendricks, w S. Wood

LONDON, May Whether it be true on
not that Dillon has succeeded Parnell in
the leadership of the Irish party, it is
certain that events appear to be ripe for a
change Of some kind All politicians desire
70 look upon the face Of their leader oc-
casionally, and parnell's health has long
made his visits TO the interior of the house
Of commons few and far between. The
loyalty Of his followers has not waned, but
active work has to be done and a directing
mind is indispensable. This would be sufii-
cient TO account for the temporary with
drawal from the field which Parnell seems
TO have decided upon.
