The Grant Statue,
From the New York Sun.


There is in the Senate now a bill, adj
mrable In its main purpose of which the
form as it was passed by the House in
March of last year is better than that pro-
posed for the consideration of the Senate.
The bill is to erect a statue of General
Grant in the city of Washington, the sum
of $250.OO0 being allowed.
AS the House passed 1t, the committee
On the statue was to be the Secretary of
War, the chairmen of the joint committee
on the library, the President of the Senate,
and the Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives. The Senate amendment which
has been reported by Senator Wetmore,
chairman of the Senate committee on the
library, would substitute the president of
the Society Of the Army of the Tennessee
for the President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House.
The relative merit of these two groups
of citizens for service as committee on
the Grant statue, is to be tested by the
question which of them would be more
likely to procure a statue that would best
express the higher qualities of art for
through them will the statue of Grant ac-
qure the greatest dignity and impressive
ness.
Some time ago a committee, made up
we believe, very much as the Senate bill
proposes to make up the Grant committee,
was intrusted with the task of procuring
a statue of General Sherman. And against
the protest of the American sculptors of
the first rank, they chose a design present
ing Sherman, not as the commander of a
great army of a great country, but as his
fellow officers on the committee thought
they remembered him in his campaigns.
The result was an ''old horse" "farmyard''
sort of statue. neither beautiful nor noble.
1t was the product of Old army sentiment,
and wholly homogeneous with the ideas
and feelings that are most appealed to by
the statue of a great military chief placed
in the capital of his country.
Let us have a statue of General Grant in
Washington, but the grandest and most
inspiring that the art-genius Of America
can make

That's the whole story. There's the
egotism of the human race. It's the only
age you know anything about and you take
it for granted that because you live in it, it
must be great. We speak only from the
limitations of our own ignorance and |

RIDING ON AN AVAIL LANCHE.


Few mountalneers go far enough
into the avalanche regions to see much
of them. and fewer still know the
thrilling cxhilaration of riding on
them, says John Muir in The Atlantic.
In all my wild mountaineering | have
enjoyed only one avalanche ride. and
the start was so sudden and the end
came so soon | thought but little of
the danger that goes with this sort of
travel. though one thinks fast at such
times.
One calm, bright morning In Yosemite.
after n hearty storm had given three
or four feet of fresh snow to the noun

avalanches as possible and gain wide

ridge little over 5000 feet above the
valley. But was not TO get top views
of any sort that day. but instead of
these something quite different, for
deep trampling near the canyon head
where the snow was strained started
an avalanche, and was swished back
down to the foot of the canyon as II by
cnchantmcnt. The ploddng, wallow-
ing ascent of about n mile had taken
all day. the undoing descent perhaps
about minute.
When the snow suddenly gave way,
nstinctlvely threw myself on my
back and spread my arms TO try to
keep from sinking. Fortunately
though the grade of the canyon was
Steep 1t was not interrupted by step

there and lurched from side to side,
and when the torrent wedged and
came to rest found myself on the top
Of the crumpled pile without n single
bruise or scar.
Hawthorne says that steam has spir-
itualzed travel, Notwithstanding the
smoke friction, smells and clatter of
boat and rail riding. This flight in a
milky way of snow flowers was the
most spiritual of all my travels, and
after many years the mere thought of
