WHY THE MONUMENT IS THERE.
The Story of Maj. Dade and His Brave
 Companions.


 Companions.
 Many visitors to West Point have wondered what was represented by handsome monument of Italian marble, inscribed "Dade and His Command" The story is not told, or only casually referred to, in the popular histories, and the shaft tells nothing of the gal lant deeds of those whom 1t commence rates. 1t Is duted column of artistic design, surmounted by an eagle, from whose beak descends a wreath which gracefully entwines it. The base Is square, the slabs bearing the names and inscription being separated by miniature cannon, over which numer- ous stars are placed at appropriate in- teryals. The names of the officers who fell with Dade are inscribed on the slabs. But no hint is given of what they did, or when and where they fell.
 The thrilling episode is worth re- calling, says the Buffalo Commercial, especially as it occurred just ffty-nine years ago, or, to be precise, on the 28th of December, 1885. Maj. Dade and detachment of one hu ndred and seven teen United States troops were within 6 few days march of Fort King, Flor ida, when they were surprised and mas sacred by over one thousand Seminole Indians. The men were rejoicing at having almost reached the end of a long and tedious march, and were look ing forward to celebrating the New Year with their comrades at Fort King. They were suddenly attacked by the savages in overwhelming num- bers and slaughtered without mercy. Three only survived to tell the story. An exploration of the battlefield, made in the following February, by order of Gen. Gaines, showed that the detach- ,ment had fought to the last extremity, and that each man had died at his post. The scene presented to the exploring part was an awful one. They buried the bodies of eight officers and ninety eight men, and a small six-pounder cam non belonging to the command, which was left by the Indians, was placed vertically at the head of the common, grave, where 1t remained for many years.
 The long-forgotten tragedy is com memorated by the graceful shaft on the banks of the Hudson, inscribed simply to ''Dade and His Commando It was erected in 164S

The late Lord Orford was one of the most aristocratio ornaments of the British peerage and the following ac- count of his separation from Lady Or ford, as told by Truth, is accordingly Interesting: "Both explained to me tho reason. It was all about a sugar basin. Shortly after their marriage. according to Lord Qrford, her ladyship came down to breakfast without hay. ing washed her hands and took some Jumps of sugar out of the bowl with her fingers, on which he requested hey in future either to wash her hands or td use the sugar-tongs.
