Judge Curtis Says the
Devens Statue Should
Be Raised.

Judge George M. Curtis Of New
York, who was one of the closest
friends of the late and lamented Cen
eral Devens, writes the following COM
munication to The Spy relative to the
proposed Devens monument:
ITO the Editor of The Spy
Perhaps it would be presumptuous
for me to express an opinion relative
to the proposed monument to the de-
parted hero-General Devens.
HE was an ornament to the civic
and military history of Massachusetts,
| and will live long in the memory of its
people. Some of the most eminent cit
liens of Worcester, have expressed
their views upon the subject of the
| memorial stone; and they who knew
him well, and by whom he was be-
loved, will take care that his name
does not perish from the earth.
He was peculiarly solicitous for the
safety, health and happiness of his sol
diers, and in the field and on the
march, was untiring in his efforts to
| promote their welfare. His valor In
battle was conspicuous, and this chiv-
alric instinct, is one of the dearest leg
acies of martial charactlt, which the
people of Massachusetts hold in indy
| ing recollection.
His genius was versatile-he was at
once a jurist and a soldier AS an adj
vocate, he had few superiors at any
bar.
Il remember, as a boy, hearing him
address a jury, and one remarkable
| sentence of his effort was the leprous
distilment Of this perjury permeates
this entire case
His personal presence was imposing,
grand and magnetic. His heart was
always moved by the most generous
inspirations.

Of an early military education. He

after the great civil struggle had c)m-
menced. He was obedient to superiors.
He exacted obedience from those who
