The Confederate Home Soon to BE Erected
In the state of Missouri--The Magnifi-
cent Memorial Arch to He Dedicated
in BroolsIyn.
Every year the bitterness left by the
civil war grows less, and every year the
veterans of the war are more highly
honored north and south. There was
long doubtwhether our division would
take the course that in Ireland did after
the treaty OF Limerick the result being
undying hostility, or follow the course
of that In Scotland, where the heroic
achievements OF both sides were thrown
into common stock and became the
common glory OF the country. Fortu-
nately we followed the Scottish prece-
dent rather than the Irish, and two re-
cent events may serve as pleasing evil
dences of Ii.
The first is the building of a Confed-
crate soldiers home on q farm bought
for the purpose near Higginsville, Mo-,
in a state which never seeded and was
the theater Of furious neighborhood wars
during the entire four years The home is
TO be finished by June i, 1893; to have a
front of 81 feet and depth of 10 feet; to
be two stories in height and have high
English basement. the whole affording
accommodations for $50 persons.
The building will be placed on mass

Brooklyn has just completed q beauti-
full memorial of her citizens who gave
their lives for the Union in the form of
triumphial arch, which cost $780,
600. Kings county furnished about 25,-
900 men to the Union cause, and about
one-third of these either lost their lives
in the service or died soon after reach
ing Eome, As the population Of the
county has about trebled since the war
began the obligation to erect fitting
memorial OF these men was felt to be
imperative. The city of New York soon
after the war placed in Greenwood GEM
etery magnificent granite obelisk,
with bronze figures at the base, in mem
ory of her own dead there, and Brook
lyn placed statue of Lincoln in Pros
pect park.
The memorial arch was strangely de-
layed, but it is completed at last, and is
to be dedicated in a few days. 1t is con-
structed Of gray granite, so white that
without close examination it appears
to be marble. The bases are Of dark
Quincy granite 3 feet high and resting
on q bed of concrete feet deep. The
piers are 2 feet inches by 45 feet, the
arch is 81 feet wide and 48 feet inches
high, and the entire structure is II feet
high and so feet wide. Within each
pier is a stairway, and the public can go
up in one and down in the other. The
summit commands q magnificent view,
as the arch stands in Prospect park, mid
way between the main entrance and the
fountain.
Standing upon the summit one can
overlook New York and Brooklyn, the

A Dusky Petrol.

A rare visitor to English shores is in
teresting Sheffield naturalists--a dusky
petrol, believed to be the only live speci-
men in England. The bird was found
flying about inside fish truck, which
arrived at Sheffield from the north, and
it is supposed that it was attracted by
the smell Of fish--its usual food -and
was shut in accidentally. Though the
stormy petrol is common enough in
north Britain, the dusky petrol is
scarcely ever seen 80 far away from its
usual habitat west coast of Africa
and the Mediterranean. Every care is
being used to preserve the bird alive.

LIVELY INTEREST
Felt in Wheeling In the Proceed
inss Of tho Big Convention.
lLL EYES ARE UPON MINNEAPOLIS
The Bulletins sca9ned Eagerly, and
Bets Freely ofrered on all Sorts Of
wild Proposltions-.-The Scenes Re-
scmble Those on the Night AMER a
Presidential Election. i

Only once in long time is as great in
terest exhibited in anything as was
shown last night in the reports from
the Minneapolis convention. The tele-
graph and newspaper offices were be-
sioged with anxious inquirers, wanting
to know what was the latest IN regard
to the convention. Telephone mes
sagos worc received by the score from
all the outlying wards, and from every
town within telephone distance.
Bulletins were displayed and fur
nished by the Postal telegraph COIN
pany. and also by the Western Union
company, although the latter did not
nav much attention 10 the bulletin SER
yicc, having its hands pretty full TO
handle tho hundreds Of thousands Of
words Of press report transmitted by
its lines.
Everywhere the bulIetinsswere dis
played there, were crowds 10 read them.
in front OF the INTELLIGgNcRR Office the
crowd, in size and interest, resembled
that on the night after aqpresidential
election.
It required from six to seven minutes
only for bulletin OF the proceedings Of
tho convention to reach Wheeling from
Minneapolis by the Western Union
wires.
Last night opinions, prophecies and
bets were as plenty as blackberrles down
the river in their season. As many
people were willing to bet Il would be
Harrison rs wanted 10 bet it$ould be
Blaine. Somehow or other, however.
tho two seldom came togetheri A few
bets wero made, though.
1t was . fair epitome of American
politics that was to be observed on the
Wheeling streets last nights Demo-
Gratis exhibited almost as mitch interest
as Republicans-possibly because they
realized that the nominee Of the con-
vention must rule over them for the
next four years.
