THE LATE GENERAL BEAURLGARD.

THE LATE GENERAL BEACRtGARD'
Gen. p. q. Il. Beauregard, the great
warrior, is dead. As the dispatch In
formed u yesterday, be spent he last
evening OF his life with his family and
retired early, having been conducted
to his room by his son and lett i'll
charge Of his nurses. He had been
sick tor two weeks, but was considered
much better, but after he retired on
the evening of his demise he was soon
discovered by hi5 nurse 10 be IN the
death struggle He passed quietly
away IN the seveuty.tiuh year. of his
age. He had been an eXcee iingiy
active old man, attentive tn business,
and ia club life manifested much social
interest. General Beaurogard had all
the viyacity and enthusiasm of the
FrenchnIan and all the bright intelli-
gence of the Creole. Highly educated
as military man, he was at once &C.

civil war. There never has been but
one criticism of his conduct and man
agement Of the first great battle upon
the plains If Manassas, and that was
that he failed TO follow up his
victory and capture the City
of Washington. In light of subse-
uuent knowledge of affairs at Wash
inton at that time the criticism may
be lust, but the critics were not in
formed of General Beauregard's lack
of artillery ammun,'i ion and they also
failed to take into account the condi-
ton of an army of raw recruits just
after such a victory. 1t is fact that
| in some way or another half Of the
army felt it incumbent upon them to
90 home and tell about the victory,
or at least that number who volun-
,eered from Virginia. Th-re were
other various reasons why Beaure.
gard did not take Washing'O but
the greatest reason is that If h had
attempted to do 50 he would have
failed.
Beauregard's conduct of the battle
of Shiloh has been perhaps justly
criticised. There is no doubt about
the fact that when Gen. Albert Sidney
Johnston was killed that the victory
was really won and if Beauregard had
pressed Grant he would either have
pushed his broken column into the
Tennessee river or compelled surren-
der. General Johnston declared he
would water his horses in the Tennes'
see river. Colonel Horace Milier's
Mississippi regiment was the only
Confederate regiment that did
water it's horses in the Tennessee
river. If Beauregard had pressed
his infantry an artillery forward as
Col. Miller did his cavalry, Grant
would have been compelled to sur
render before q new and fresh army
came up TO contest the field the next
day.
We have to do alone with General
Beauregard's military life. His &C.
ceptsuce of prominent position in
the louisiana lottery after the war
we cannot approve. That is matter
about which we do not care to COM
ment. When his country called upon
him he gave it the best services OF
his life, and for that we honor him
and his life will fill an import nj

MASSACHUSETTS BUILDING.

ana nigh mante1 recall the old Dutch
rooms found in western Massachusetts,
and New York. On the left of the
hall are two large parlors, which,
when thrown together, form a room
8ox25 feet. The front parlor is fur
nished by the Essex institute of Salem
with old historical furniture. The
back parlor is used as reading-room.
The second floor is devoted specially
to the use of women. There are two
parlors and two bedrooms for the use
of the woman's board. The entire
floor is furnished with old-fashioned
furniture. The front parlor, or recep-
ton room, contains a rare colonial col
lection made by the women of Boston.
In this collection are dresses worn by
Mrs. John Adams, Mrs Roger Sherman
and others of historical fame. A cradle
in which five generations of the Adams
family were rocked, bed quilts we'd
ding shoes, bonnets and manuscripts
of noted men have prominent po-
sitions. Over the entire building are
hung old oil portraits of men belong
ing to the state who have played an
active part in the formation of our
government. The cost of the Massa-
cnusetts building was $4,000
The Vermont state building is one of
the most unique and original on the
grounds. It is Pompeiian in style and
of classic detail, furnishing most
unique contrast to the other buildings.
On the right and left Of the steps on
the facade rise two shafts, on which
are categorical figures representing
the industries of agriculture and quar-
rying. One enters through columned
portico into a court yard, on the right
and left of which are covered porches
with broad seats, and in the rear the
reception and committee rooms. In
the center of the court is handsome
marble fountain. The reception hall
in the rear of the building is circular
in form with colonnade around. and a
wooden dome surmounts the structure.
In this brief review OF the work
| of New England states Connecticut
and Rhode Island must not be for
| gotten, for both have excellent houses
| in jackson park. The Connecticut
building is modelled after high-grade
residence of the state and furnished
neatly throughout. The building has
already been sold, aSd at the close Of
the exposition will be removed from
| the grounds and located on lot near
Hyde Park, and will be used as a club
house by the Sons of Connecticut.
Rhode Islands building is small, in
| keeping with the size of her state, and
cost Sc, 900. The ground area is 32x59
feet, two stories high, made of wood
! and covered with staff. 1t is con-
structed in Greek design, and all the
| floors are of hard wood. The interior
| is finished in cypress wood. No sec
ton of our broad continent is better
represented in state buildings than
| the New England states.

The main entrance is on the avenus
fronting the lake and is approached by
a wide fight of granite steps % feet
long. the two at the porch entrance be-
ing six feet broad. The granite work
is carried up one full story to a height
of IS feet. The building is surmounted
by five towers, one at each corner and
a high tower in the center, the whole
roof being covered with slate.
Over the main entrance the bow of a
ship projects from the wall of the
building--nodeled from the big ''Shen-
Rndoah."
The second story exterior consists of
four balconies separated by round bays
projecting over the granite below, fin
ished in wood and plaster panels.
Entering the vestibule through the
arcade of polished columns an octag-
onal rotunda two stories high is
reached, upon which open the parlor,
reception, committee, toilet and smok-
ing-rooms, all furnished appropriately.
A rallied gallery extends entirely
around the rotunda, giving an excel
cent view of the entire building. The
interior finishing Is very handsome,
being done in hard wood, and the walls
are adorned with paintings illustrat-
ing the scenic beauties of Maine and
many interesting curios.
The next in order is the New Hamp.
shire building, which is constructed in
imitation of the heavily bracketed and
Ssalconied chalets of the Swiss villages,
symbolizing the name so often given
this mountainous state, the "Switzer-
land of America
The first story is OF plaster work
with ouoins to the doors and windows
of various kinds of New Hampshire
granite. The second story and gables
are covered with heavy nodded sidings,
or cIapboards, of hard pine, oiled and
left in the natural wood color.
The plan is that of a rectangle with a
large central hall 23x35 feet extending
through both stories to the roof and
lighted by skylight and windows in
the first and second stories. Inc nal
is surrounded by wide balcony on the
second story and has two large fire
places. $500
Upon the right of the hall you enter
the commissioners room, the parlol
for men, post Office and rear vestlpule
On the left are the ladies' receptlor
parlors.
One peculiar feature of this structure
is an L, forming an annex, which Is
used as gallery for New Hampshire
views, in the center of which is a large
relief map of the state. 1t is furnished
and constructed like an imaginary
grotto and lighted with three colors OF
electric lights.
The building erected by the old Bay
state is full of historical interest, not
only in its exterior design, but in rel.
les collected from the descendants OF
revolutionary fathers. 1t is built after

feet high. The exterior is covered
with stuff in imitation of cut granite.
The main entrance opens into spa
cious, we'll studded hallway, with a
tiled floor. Facing the entrance is q
broad colonial stairway leading to the
second floor. An old-fashioned bulls
eye window gives light to the stair
way. On the right of the hall is large
room, constituting registration room,
post office and general reception room.
The fittings and furnishings of this
room are unique. It's marble floor,
blue tiled walls, it's uncovered beams
