Vandals Have Clipped Hls Memorial In
Westmtnster Abbey.

wsstminstsr Abbey.
Near the center of the south wall ~
the nave is monument to Major Andre
Of Revolutionary note. The very long
inscription upon IL begins, Sacred to
the memory Of Major John Andre, who,
raised by his merit, at an early period
of life. 10 the rank OF sdjutant general
of the British forces in America, and
employed in an important but hazardous
enterprise, fell sacrifice to his zeal for
his king and country, on the I'd Of Oc
tober, 1850, aged 30, universally beloved
and esteemed by the army in which be
served aud lamented even by his foes Z"
About the base OF the monument,
which is panel set against the wall.
are several small figures. These project
from the panel, and represent the presen-
tation uf Major Andres letter TO Cen
eral Washington on the night before his
execution The ease with which the
heads Of these figures could be broken
of has been too great n temptation to
relic hunters. and most of the heads
have been knocked off and stolen. That
such vandalism is not wholly modern is
shown from the fact that Charles Lamb
writes Of the defacing Of this very mon
ument in this way in bis Essays of
Ella. Southey the poet, when boy,
was a pupil at the Westminster school
Later in life he was exceedingly sensi-
tive in regard TO mis- political princi-
pies, aud for time a serious quarrel
existed between himself and Lamb be-
cause the latter. speaking in regard "a
this injury TO Andres monument, de.
scribed it as the "wanton mischief Of
some schoOlboy, fired perhaps with
raw notions Of transatlantic freedom.
Then, addressing Southey, he added,
1.-The mischief was done about the time
that you were "a scholar there. DO you
know anything about the unfortunate
relicT"
There is now fastened upon tine wal

ley, when he visited America, gathered
near the spot on the bank of the Hudson
river where Andre was executed. Al
though Andre died in i7sO, it was not
until 1891 that, at the request of the
Duke Of York, his bones were exhumeC
and taken to England TO be buried in
the abbey. The box in which they were
placed for the voyage is still preserved
in the oratory over st. lsip's chapel
where the wax figures are kept. MAJ
