Splendid Progress Being Made IN Marking
The BaStlefie- d-Monuments Erected and
Contemplated.
Stopping at Cincinnati, on my way back
from the National Encampment, l had
the good fortune to meet Col. @. Cadle,
the Chairman Of the Shiloh Park Commits
sion. and went with hiln to his Office to
see the progress being made TO convert the
old battlefield into fine National Park
and Il great object-lesson in history. The
comrades of the Armies Of the Tennessee
and Ohio can congratulate themselves
upon the signal ability with which this
is being done. Col. Gable has carefully
studied what has been done mt Gettys-
burg and Chickamauga and tried to i'm
prove upon it. Admirable maps hay z
been prepared, which show not only the
exact CONFORMATION of the field, with the
woods, open spnces and creeks, but the
precise position of every Union regiment
battery, brigade and division at every houl
of both days. The positions of the rebels
are also given With the same minuteness
as far as they can be ascrrtained. This
involved an immense amount of work and
patient research. Iron tablets are being
prepared, which will give the history of
each regiment. battery and larger Organ-
ization from the beginning to the end of
the battle.
Illinois has already begun to put up
her monuments. She will have 42-One
for each organization engaged in the bat
tlc-and has appropriated $4,000 for the
purpose.
Ohio will have 333 granite monuments

propriated $4,000 for the purpose The
contracts will be let Nov. II.

for office are presented to the Sovereign.
This is the richest, loftiest and most mag
nificent Of all the palaces. In q court be-
meath its walls is small tower of gilt
copper adorned with a great number of
statues. Beyond this building is the Pal
ace OF Earth's Repose, which accOmine-
dates the Imperial .Harem, superintended
by the Empress.
Between this palace and the north wall
of the Forbidden City are the gardens ap-
prppriated for the use OF the inmates Of
the harem-the wives of the Emperor, the
eunucks and other attendants. These gar
dens are adorned with paviiions. temples
and beautiful groves of trees, interspersed
with canals, fountains and other 0rna-
mental articles.
This walled Imperial precinct is veri-
table city of the Arabian Nights, and its
truthful annals might compose many a
volume of fascinating and romatic inter-
est. 1t is surrounded by a deep moat,
and the eastern part of it contains, among
other buildings, the Offices of the Cabinet
and the Treasury. North of these offices
is the so-calied Hall of Intense Thought,
where periodical sacrifices are made to
Confucius and other sages, and near by it
is the Hall of the Literary Abyss-in
other words, a library-which publishes
from time to time a catalogue, which is
an excellent synopsis of the best Chinese
literature up to date. At the north end
of the eastern division are numerous pal
aces and buildings occupied by Princes of
the blood royal and their relatives and
families. In this same quarter is small
temple TO which the Emperor comes at
regular intervals to perform devotions be-
fore the tablets of his ancestors.
Surrounding the Forbidden City is a
second and larger walled structure,
known as the Imperial City. 1t is an OBJ
long square six miles in circuit and has
n great gate on each Of its four sides. On
its eastern side is depository of military
stores, with workshops for the manufac-
ture of munitions OF war. A beautiful ar

supplied by the Tunghui River and is
crossed by a bridge of nine arches, its
banks being shaded by groves of trees.
