HALLEcK WEARS A MoNocLE.
The Queer Freak Of Jack Frost on q New
York Statue.

tOrk STATUE,
NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-The statue of General
FitZGreene Hallcck, which is supposed to
be n correct likeness, was decorated yester-
day with monoce Many of the promen-
aders along the Mall were inclined to disbe-
lieve their senses at first. 1t was there,
though, and there was no denying the fact
that 1t was true to lie with the exception Of
the necessary squint to keep it in place.
Jack plays many wonderful pranks and
produces some queer effects, but he never
did neater or more lifelike job than put
ting an ice monocle in Halleck's right eye.
1t gave the whole face an expression which
the sculptor wonld hardly approve of, not to
mention the Indignation Mr.. Halleck would
probably have expressed could he have seen
the wonderful freak that changed the be-
nevolent expression of his lace to that of a
bored dude The explanation of the freak
is that the snow which fell Friday and COW
cred the monument had melted in such
way as to leave u thin, round cake of ice
oyer the right eve.

THE report that two British warships
have just returned from a cruise of retribu-
tive justice in the Solomon Islands after ex-
ecuting native chiefs and burning the
equipments of those concerned in the mur-
der of English subjects, adds nothing to the
credit of the Empire. We cannot say much,
though. or it might be retorted that the
United States IS to Chile as England is to the
Solomon Islands.

THE action of Belgium in passing law

The action of Belgium in passing law
against the public exhibition of hypnotism
and the practice of hypnotism for immoral
and criminal purposes should be soon fol-
lowed by other civilized governments. The
practice of hypnotism should be as much
under State supervision and control as the
administration OF anesthetics and the sale
of poisonous drugs.
