a Confederate Monument.

We mentioned last week that some
years ago the Confederate Organiza-
tiOn known as the "SurvivorS of the
Clarke Cavalry" had taken steps to
have erected in the court house ward
a monument to the memory of those
sons of Clarke county who died in
battle, or from wounds received or
disease contracted while serving in
the Confederate army. The names
of such will be placed on the monu-
ment We also stated that about
5000 was now in hand for this pur
pose, and that $500 was needed To
complete this monument. If any of
the readers of the COURIER wish to
contribute to this laudable undertak
ing, we will receive and acknowledge
through these columns all sums sent
to us, and turn over the same TO mon
ument committee.

 In his youth Allen was a schoolmas- ter; so was Reed. l know a man who used to go to school to Tom Reed, and found him stern master. In fact, my friend, being a bad boy was often whipped. He resolved that some day he would grow up and lick the teacher.
 Many boys have formed such reso1u- tions, but usually they forget them or never have an opportunity. But il hap pened that my friend was astout young fellow, a good boxer and daily at tendant at the Portland gymnasium.
 One day Tom Reed, fat. good-natured and easy-going, drifted in. The young CT man in 6 bantering way invited his old teacher to put on the gloves.

tined to be as charming and smart as have been those worn during the sum mer. To say that they were better or, brighter than the sumfner gowns would be stating not only an untruth, but an impossibility. The manufacturers and the modistes seem to be prepared to keep up the same elaborateness of style and the same beautiful effects that were so prominent feature of the summer season throughout the fall. This is destined to be especially true of the evening gowns.
 In these evening gowns I saw the pliable taffetas in several new and beau tiful effects, the satin foulard in wide stripes and dots, and combined with plain velvet or satin; the plain silks, nuns yelling. crepe de chine, duchess, peau de soie and other favorites that were soft and clinging. All these in- dicate that among the plain fabrics these will be most worn.
 Of these gowns that studied was one. of a beautiful rose pink foulard. Itwass trimmed with a mellow tinted lace, In cut the gown was made a princess, with the mellow-tinted lace insertioni brought from the bust down the front and around the skirt about ten inches from the bottom. It had plain tight sleeve with six small tucks and round- ed cuff falling over the hand. Around the shoulders there was drawn fichu of point de esprit and lace 10 match, threaded through with black velvet | baby ribbon, and fastened in front with 1 q big chou of black velvet. The throat was left free from even a lace collar or ribbon, and merely having . double row of pearls.
 A second was of sea green nuns yelling The skirt of this was made with five small ruffles of the nuns yeil- i ing with machine stitching on, and fn- ished at the top ruffie with two rows of ecru lace insertion. The bodice was made with low square neck of white mousseline de soie shirred, and the sleeves of the same. The nuns yelling was crossed in front from the yoke to the waist line, where it was finished with a soft roll of sea green velvet. Al very chic effect was produced by the fchu, which was brought low over thet shoulders and caught in front with q paste buckle. This fichu had long pointed ends and was made of the nuns yelling, and finished with the ecru in sertion, and deep founce of lace.
 Still another was one of the beauti- ful new dotted foulards of cream silk with hadiamond-shaped pattern in black, and with black shaped dots. This gown was made with a deep founce on the bottom that was headed with Chantdl- ly lace insertion And deep founce from the waist line at one side and brought around the skirt high towards the other side This founce was e1s9i headed with the Chantilly insertion. It has a shirred vest of white moussehne de soie with the silk in fine tucks on each side for short yoke, and the SIX brought quite plain from the yoke 10 the waist line, with little fullness Tn front in pointed basque effect.

anime it under the microscope we should be amazed at it's beauty and com plexity ofstrueture, for that same green "weedo is endowed with just as much life as you or I, and just as there are amongst us the marrying and giving an marriage so with this scum which we are now about to examine in detail, and which is known to scientists as the or der of Algae.
 Direct your attention to the objectand you wilIsee Zig D that this same Algae which in the mass possesses rather a repulsive appearance, under the mag nifcation of the lens is endowed with a beauty undreamed of-a fine, delicate green web. This particular specimen under our observation is called Splro- qyra, and is easily recognized by the beautiful spiral bands of green in the interior of each cell. It is found gen erallv just under the surface of the water. and like all the Algae, prefers a pond or slow moving stream to four ish. Now the manner of reproduction is very remarkable in this species, and is as follows: Each of two tllaments which happen to lie parallel to each o+ber.begjn at the same time to shoot out small protuberances each toward the other. and continue until they meet. when they fuse into each other and form a tube just like the steps in a ladder, the original flaments forming the sides tFig. ?. Then the green con tents of one of the original tubes falls away from the sides and passes over through the tube into the opposite eel and mingles with it, from which spore is formed (this is known as con iugation). When ripened the spores hurst out from the cell and swim off by a very peculiar method, and bud ol' by self division, forming into flament' or threads like the parent.
 The growth of the Algae is exceed sngly rapid, md their matted condition Is principally due to this cause. Trey

Sailing nome of the art commit tee have been put down and everything promises well.
 I don't believe Dewey and his men have any idea of what they are up against There will be l ,0oo, 900 stran- gers in town, besides it's millions of residents The largest throng ever be fore gathered upon this continent will be dwarfed. The ever memorable oeca- sion when the army of the Potomac passed in review in Washington on its return from the war, beautiful and touching as it was, brought together but a small fraction of the Dewey day crowd Indeed of all the throngs ever seen in one place since the world was peopled by men, ouly Queen Nictoria's s jubilee of 1897 in London surpassed in extent of interest the coming eelebra- ton; the ceremonies attending the cor onation of the czar of Russia were q bad second.
 New York will not be so eongested as London was, partly for geographical reasons. The jubilee parade in London swung a great circle about the toEvn from Hyde Park to Buckingham palace, crossing the Thames twice The eff forts of the more energetic spirits to see the procession pass at one point and then "eut across to another trou- bled London. That can't be done in New York The naval parade of 1897 an ineomparably bigger spectacle than New York will have 10 otfer-was at a distance from London, and not for poor folks to see. In New York the naval parade will divide the crowd, and every thing that can doatwill be double loaded to see it.
 No one need hesitate to come to New York, therefore, from fear ofnot being able to see anything. Broadway is q magnificent stage for a land parade, and there is room enough in the Bay. Isappose that standing room only upon steamers down the bay will cost about three dollars per ticket; that few boats will run with alleged limited patronage at five dollars per head and upward, and that seats,along the line of Broadway will be about as eXpen- sive. Anyone who has long, strong legs can see much simply standing up.
