Henry Ward Beecher.

BRooKLYN, n. Y, June 26.-The monu-
nent to the memory of the late Henry Ward
Beecher was unveiled with imposing cere-
monies on the seventy-eigth anniversary of
the birth of the noted divine.
In accordance with the proclamation of
the mayor the day was observed as public
holiday.
Large crowds of people have been coming
from New York over the Brooklyn bridge
and by the ferries in the morning to partic-
lpate in the event. The program was under
the auspices of the monument committee
and the Brooklyn park commissioners. The
monument stands in the green plot in front
of the city hall, about fifteen feet from the
coping and midway between two immense
floral urns. It is the work of Sculptor J. @.
A. Ward and its cost will be $4,000 OF
this two-t thirds has been subscribed.
The statue proper, which is of bronze, is
about nine feet in height and rests on a
base having three steps, making the total
height of the monument about eighteen feet.
Mr.. Beecher is shown standing erect in an
easy position, his head turned slightly to-
wards the left. He is represented wearing
the cape overcoat winch Brooklynites and
others SO we'll remember. In his left hand
he holds the familiar Kossuth hat.
Leaning against tine right side of the Pc
destal is the figure of a negress in an atti-
tude of sorrow, the impression to be con-
veyed being the grief of the coIored race
over the loss of such an earnest worker in
the cause of abolition. At the left of the
pedestal are the figures of a boy and girl,
the former lifting the girl upward in his
arms while she places q string of flowers at
the feet of the statue.
Mr.. Beecher's attitude is one of fearless
ness, but at the same time the bearing Ii
suggestive of his genial character.

: ct but little known is that be-

right or losing it altogether, so when
on certain occasion the Queen visit

well-known and highly popular Mas

$1,000 Reward--a Humbug'

DoN'T BE DECEIVED by the offer of q
large reward in case some medicine fails to
cure you. If the reward is claimed, there
is always some way to evade its pay
ment; fnever claimed, it is no evidence that
everybody, or anybody, has been cured
but it speaks we'll for the intelligence of
our people, that no one is fool enough
to expect its payment. $1,000, O0O
might be offered with equal safety; for it
is needless to say that the user of such med
icines always dies before their proprietors
are convinced that he cant be cured" It
is one of the most deceptive schemes that
ever insulted an enlightened people.
We are disposed to give the public every
protection possible against the imposition
of scheming frauds or worthless nostrums
but NO DEPENDENCE CAN BE
PLACED IN GUARANTEES. If Con-
gress will pass a law by which all medi-
cines are subjected to thorough test, and
their merits-in the diseases which they
claim to cure-are fully established before
they can be offered for sale, we will heart
lily favor it. An honest remedy suffers
more from the failure of other prepare
tons to establish their claims, than from
all other causes ..combined-as disappoint-
ment in one medicine causes distrust in
many.
