him; ii was evident from his work and
words that he had artistic genius. broad
and clear, and time has justified The evil
dence. He had yet to win the fame which
now belongs to him, and which ia not con-
fined to his native land. In the Central
park there are two of his masterpieces.
1.-THE Indian Hunter and "Shakespeare.''
In other parts of the city and of Brooklyn
are his Washington" Greeley" Beech

statues from his studio are to be seen in
Boston, Washington, Gettysburg, Hartford,
Newport and elsewhere. The aspiring

reporting, who, if | remember rightly, sent
some letters from the army of the Potomac
to the New York Times, of which | was
then this managing editor. He afterwards
did similar work, during several years, for
other papers, and went abroad as CORE
%spondent, staying in Europe till he was over
thirty years old. Tt ia safe to say that no.
body then saw in him the making of the
man who, after 1870, began those gigantic
operations as a railroad promoter, con-
structor and fnancier with which his name
has been associated. / refer to Henry Viii

a living. His triumphant career since that
time as a dramatic author. The author OF
the most popular plays OF the period, and
as q theatrical manager in New York and
other American cities, and in London and
other European cities, needs no record here.
1t is to be hoped that the new play which
Tennyson has just put into his hands will
turn out to be ineritorlous.
Once on e time, when in Washington, /

was sending news from there to a Clncin-

minister to France.
| recall an austere t%aciturn man, Alexan-
der l.. Holley, who wrote pieces on engi-
neering eubjects for the New York Times
during the war. He rose to eminence in his
profession, and a monument bearing his
bust and name has recently been raised to
his memory by American societies OF min
ing, civil and mechanical engineers. We
had no thought when he was thirty that he
would ever be honored thus.

patent for a method to tame and train wild
animals by means of an electric whip. Thu
cage has a metallic floor connected with
one pole of a sufficiently strong battery,
while the other pole, by means of a wire, is
connected with the whip. while its insu-
lating handle has a button with which the
current can be tried if desired.
II, now, the wild animal which has to be
educated shows obstinacy. the trainer
presses the button and this gives to the
animal an electric shock at every contact
of the whip. of which the severity is regu-
lated according to the requirements. If the
electric current is not needed, the button is
not pressed. and the effect of the whip is
reduced to that of an ordinary one.
This is a new application of electricity
for educational purposes Of a class of beings
which thus far has been the most inaccessi-
BILE to impress with the advantages of civil
ization. In this way the lion may be made
to lie peaceably with the lamb, even when
the lamb is not inside the lion.
