So The piers of the arch were draped
February 10, 1891, for the funeral process
sion OF Gen. Sherman, which passed the
site. The fund reached 100000 on April
20, 1881. This was the amount required
for the structure itself. The decorations
were to cost an additional $50 900. In July
of that year the keystones were set.
On the 9th OF April the last stone of
the arch was set by the treasurer of the
fund. The fund has grown to $124, 765. 20.
and but $5,234.S0 is needed to complete
and carve the structure. This amount
would probably be in hand but for the
efforts of the committee for the erection
of the Grant Monument during the past
elk weeks. The total amounts raised
during each year were as follows: In
1889, S64 $685. Il; in 1880, $2O956.33; in 1891,
81 ,s45Ss, and in 1892, up to date, s17.-
329.S8. ~
"The scaffolding which surrounded the
arch for more than year has Just been
taken down, and it appears virtually COM
pleted. The following work remains to
be done: Two stone eagles. now being
carved after designs by Martini, will be
put in place, and four trophy panels and
four spandrels remain to be carved. For
the carving OF these latter about 5000 are
needed. The stairs to the top of the arch
were completed Last week. There are ITO
steps.
On the large panel of the north front
the following has been inscribed:
ITO Commemorate the One Hundredth An
niversary of the Inauguration of George
Washington as First President of the United
States.
Erected by the People of the City OF New
York.
Son the large attic panel of the south
front is quotation from Washington's
address in the Constitutional Convention:
LET Us Raise a Standard to Which the Wise
and the Honest Can Repair. The Event Is in
the Hands of God
provided the small balance needed
can be raised, work upon the structure,
which consists entirely of carving, can be
completed during the summer months. %
The arch will not be turned over to the
city until the four groups of figures of
heroic size are finished and in position
on the north and south ends of the two
piers of the arch. When this last detail
is completed the formal presentation will
take place with appropriate ceremonies.
The arch as it now appears is majestically
beautiful, but the groups of figures men
toned will greatly enhance the artistic
appearance of the large panels before
which they are to be mounted.

Our reasons for the above
offer are that we have never
known a case OF paralysis that
we have not cured or very much
helped, or a cOnsumptive that
has not been either cured or a
strong testimony that life has
been very much prolonged by
its use.
In all cases of Disease bene-
fetal results are sure to be OBJ
tanned by the use of NTuurdOck,s

attested by the crucial test of

the unprecedented record was
reported of a loss by death of
only five patients i'm a thousand,
and many of these difficult cases

to give any inquirer the further
facts, but the above is conyin-
cling proof that Nurdock,s

though it can be given i'm the

ton with perfect safety, its i'm

this year on the 5th of February and
the 18th of June. Early next week
will mail you the questions for the

arate questions for colored pupils,
and it is left to your discretion as to
the manner in which you will proceed
in case colored applicants ask for ex-
aminations; also, as to grading the
papers in various branches. Allow
me to suggest, however, that the col
ored pupils be examined on the 9Th
and 18th of the months named above,
respectively, or, if at the same time
as the whites, in a different room. 1t
was not contemplated by the law
that County Boards should lose their
time and do this work for nothing,
and each applicant should pay fee
not to exceed 81. Notify all concerned
in advance if possible.
Complaints have reached this Office
from various quarters since the first

Questions are sometimes in the
hands of applicants weeks before ex-
animation day, and that the furnish
ing of them has come to be matter
of traffic. am told that these COM
plants are of long standing. 1t is un-
likely that those who have carried on
this business will regard these lists
for common school graduates as of
any special imortance; but l have to
ask each of you to scrutinize closely
the package when it reaches your of
fee. If it shows signs ofhaving been
tampered with, please to notify me.
Several County Superintendents
who have been imposed upon are en-
gagged, in connection with this Office,
if an effort to discover the source of
the trouble referred to, and you may
be able, however little valuable the
present list may be to those who have
been engaged in this business, to dis
cover a clue. That you may recog-
nize the packages as distinct from or
binary mail matter, each has stamped
on it three bits of red sealing wax.
Please to make publication at once,

City Of Raleigh VS.. Peace.

In the ease of the City of Raleigh
vs.. Peace the Supreme Court has
just rendered a decision Of much i'm
portance and interest, both to the
city and property owners living
therein, which finally settles the
question as to the right of the city
to require the property owners to
pave one-third Of the streets in
front Of their property. The court
holds that the city can require prop
ertv owners to pave one-third of the
street in front oftheir property and
enforce this requirement by assess
ing one-third of the cost of said
paving against the property i'm
proved thereby and collecting the
same ont of such property. And
also holds that the cost Of such paw
ing cannot be collected out of any
other property Of such owner. This
decision holds that the charter of
the city and the. ordinance prcvid-
ing for said paving is valid and can
be enforced by the city government.

AS master Of the pen, he most
favorably impressed his hearers with
his wide reading, extensive vocabu-

thought and brilliant imagination.
The old heroes of the Bible were
caused to pass in review in mental
panorama. They were seen in
many of their striking character
istics. They were heard to speak
IN tones sometimes as gentle and
soothing as the purest @olian note
and again as loud and alarming as
the crashing of mighty thunder.

Since 1t was first announced by
the Charlotte Chronicle that a pa
vilion was to be built at the park for
colored people, there has been con-
siderable discussion among the white
people as to whether or not separate
cars would be provided for the trans
portation of the races. Such will
be the case. When the trailers are
attached, one car will be for whites,
the other for blacks. Both will be
equally comfortable, the being no
first and second class stinction,
but simply a division il ,lor.
