words New Jersey. The soldier thus
commemorated has but one arm and his
friends say that the artist has faithfully
reproduced the celebrated soldier Gen.
eral Phil Kearney, who fell at the bat
tie OF Chantilly, Va, September s, 1862.
He had made a great reputation as an
Indian fighter before the civil war COM
menced, and his loss was severely felt
| by the Union armies. One of the most
| striking figures in the hall is a marble
statue, heroic size, of James A. Garfield,
contributed by the State of Ohio. At
the base of the artistic representation
OF the famous soldier, scholar and
statesman is bronze sword lying across
holsters. One of the finest pieces Of
sculpture, however, is contributed by
the State of New York, and represents
Robert Fulton, in sitting posture, with
model of steamboat in his hands.
His features seem to be intensely
wrought with thought concerning his
great invention and his eyes are riveted
upon the model before him.
The marble columns which surround
the room are made of Potomac marble,
and are contributory to the wonder
land portion of the edifice. The guides
of the Capitol have studied them and dis
covered outlined upon them, by nature,
the faces of some of the distinguished
men of our country. The wonderful
thing about it is that these faces are
discovered in the natural marble, and
are as unaccOuntable as the peculiar
echoes. Eli, the watchman in the room
will show you a perfect image of Ben
T. Butler in the column back of tho Full
ton statue. In another marble column,
near the statue of Garfield, there is the
semi lance of robed priest, joining a
man and woman in matrimOny. There
are also in various portions of the hall
the faces of Blaine, Lincoln, Conkling,
Banks and other celebrities. You may
presume or assume that these faces ap-
pear by the aid of lead pencils or other
artificial appliances, but it is not so.
just as the marble was cut in the quar-
ries, rounded and polished, these faces
stand forth, startlingly strange, and
with their presence wholly unaccount-
able.
When you come to Washington you
must see Statuary Hall. 1t will be
wise for you to employ Capitol guide,
for you will be unable to see one hun
dredth part of the important things in
the Capitol without their aid; but you
will not need to ask your guide to show
you this wonderful hall. Almost the
first thing shown by the authorized
guides is Statuary Hall. There are many
wonderful things in the Capitol to
strangers, but after you have seen the
Senate and House, the great paintings
in the rotunda, the marble room, the
Presidents room and other gorgeous
things; after your mind has been filled
with sightseeing and your memory
surcharged with wonderful things to
tell the folks at home; you will find
that you dwell mainly upon the eighth
wonder of the world, Statuary Hall,
with it's echoes, statues, telephone,
marble pictures, and the block where
the great statesman, Adams, fell, after
answering his name, during call of the
House, ''Here," on duty to the very last
day and hour of his patriotic life.

next few weeks. There was a sheriff's

found myself enduring the miseries of
life in a London auction-room. 1 can
never forget the horror of being paved
over by hundreds of unappreciatiye
hands of ignorant people. This expe-
rience was wearing upon me and was
growing threadbare and tattered, when
one day in walked Jack Janvier. How
my heart went out to him! Surely he,
who had shown so much appreciation et

was appreciated; and many a lovely
maybe stood by the hour before me,
lost in admiration at my magnifcence.
And how often have l formed back
ground for scenes of love and scenes of
hate-but all that was in the dim long
ago.
This train of thought was started by
hearing an unusual amount of noise
outside; finally the rusty lock was
turned, and our dismal gloom was
frightened by party of American tour
lists. 1t was so delightful to once more
look down on a jolly company that
fairly shook with pleasure and excite
ment, which one of the ladies observed,
and exclaimed with a little scream:
%'Oh. ! know there must be a skeleton
or ghost behind that lovely old tap
estryl Just see it wavew
This drew general attention to me,
and | was so much admired that one OF
the young ladies IN the party proceeded
to sketch me. While thus occupied, her
charming companion, tired of gazing at
the old armOr and dull pictures, re-
turned TO her side, and commenting on
the graceful Cupids which were repre-
sented flying around me, exclaimed:
"Why, these cherubs remind me that
this is st. Valentines Day% Then she
peremptorily announced that she want
ed the sketch for a valentine, to send
to Jack. This being granted, she re-
tired to windOwseat and wrote very
tender verse, beginning Dearest Jack, y
under the drawing. Suddenly she was
called to join the party, and in the con-
fusion of departure the valentine to
t'Dearest Jack" was overlooked.
The old gallery seemed like dismal
den after the departure of the pict-
uresque girls, but a day or two later the
rusty lock again announced visitors.
This time young man was in the COM
pany, whose obseryant eye soon fell
upon the sketch in the window-seat, and
the valentine verse beginning Dearest
Jack" seemed to cause him considerable
amusement; and his own name being
Jack-Jack Janvier-he felt certain

ARMY MATTERS.
LIEUT.. WATSON'S COMMAND COM
MENDED FOR GALLANTRY.
Their Brilliant Achievement in Capturing
the Apache Murderers-Colonel Grier-
son Thinks They Should Be Rewarded.
Probable Promotions.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The War De-
partment has received dispatches from
Colonel Grierson, in command at Los
Angeles, giving the details of the pur-
suit and capture of the five Indians who
killed Freighter Herbert, near Fort
Thomas, on the Goth ult. Two were
killed and three captured by Lieu
tenant Watson's command, on Salt
river. Colonel Grierson character
ICES this achievement as one OF
the most complete and successful
that has occurred on the frontier in
many years, and he says that it reflects
great credit upon the officers and men
engaged. He recommends a prompt re-
ward of the brevets and medals usually
given in cases of gallantry to these men,
and says this great success, in conjunc-
ton with the promptness of the removal
of the disafected element to Fort Union,
has very probably prevented an out
break, and will tend to quiet the Indians
on San Carlos reservation.

PROBABLE PROMOTIONS.
General Howard Apt to Take General
Crooks Place.

New YORK, March 31.-A Washington
special says: 1t has been practically
decided to transfer General Howard from
the division of the Atlantic to the divis-
ion Of the Missouri at Chicago, to sue
ceed General Crook, and if General Miles
is promoted to be Major-General, as will
probably be the case, he will be trans
ferred from San Francisco to New York.
A new Brigadier-General will succeed
Miles in command OF the division OF the
Pacific. The President has not yet de-
termined upon the appointment, but the
prevailing opinion among the officers
around the War Department is that
General David S. Stanley is the coming
man, and that either Westly Merritt or
B. H. Grierson will be sent to the De-
partment of Texas to succeed Stanley.
