as 1'0 MONUMEXTS. __
Hon. P. T. Barnum, whose home is
in Bridgeport, has set about the erec-
tion of a somewhat unique monument to
building for the use of the scientific
and historical societies of Bridgeport
and Fairfield, and will be three stories
high and cost $125, 000.
There are monuments and monu-
ments. If one reflects a moment, on“
the amount ' of money represented
throughout the burying~grounds of
civilization by costly piles of stone,
utterly useless except as a tribute to
family or individual vanity, one is ap-
palled. The effect would not be ap-
palling if the dead thus memorialized
were in the least benefited, and if a
host of living beings were not suffering
to-day for money enough to make exis-
tence cndurable. As it is, the costly-
monument-habit has not even estheti-
cism to recommend it, for there is no
beauty in a cemetery full of magnifi-
cent stones, however effective any one
of them might be in the right setting of
space and landscape Ev en the excuse
that monument-making gives to the
skilled workman a means of earning a
livelihood is a poor one, for we all
know how suicidal is the marble cutter’s
vocation.
The fact is, the world is getting to be
more thoughtful of its living. Mr.
Barnum has illustrated afresh the key-
note of real Christianity in trying to
benefit his fellow-beings with his re-
sources. Joaquin Miller, the poet,
wrote, in eflect, years ago, in a work
that, once read will nevepbe forgotten:
“When I die I want no monument to
mark my grave. I want my memory
to live in the hearts of those who loved
me; when they shall have gone from
the earth it is time that I too shall have
passed utterly away.”

What the “Great Objector” Would
Consider a Snug Fort-11116.
A GONGRESSMAN’S SALARY.
The Five Thousand a. Year Now Does
Not Go So Far as the Three Thou-
sand Used to in the Hal-
cyon Days of Yore.
WASHlNGTON, March 17,—Mr. Holman,
of Indiana, who has always been an inter-
esting figure in public life, will probably
be one of the most conspicuous men in the
next congress. The “Great Objector” is one
of the most- intercsting talkers in congress,
but unfo1tunately his remarks are seldom
heard in the gallg we when he makes a
speech on the floor of the house because
of the peculiar qualities of his voice and
an indistinct enunciation.
Holman a'udCannon, of Illinois, are dif-
ferent sort of economists, besides difiering
in the degree of their” enthusiasm, but
they have a sort of kindred feeling and are
rather fond of each othei. The two men
met yesterday in the appropriations com-
mittee 100m. They were the only legis-
lators in the dusty and deserted Capitol
building, and had come there to attend to
one or two small matters yet remaining to
be looked after before they left Washing-
ton. Mr. Cannon happened to remark
that a certain ex—member was moderately
well off ; “worth a hundrgd or two hun-
dred thousand.”
“Why,” said the Indiana economist,
‘ that is rich. I do not see what any man
could want with more than $100, 000. I do
not 3v ant so much. If I could ha3 e just as
much money as I would ask I would take
no more that $10, 000: that would be a nice
fortune to leave for one’ 5 family. \Vith
as much I would not think it necessary to
do anything for the rest of my life. More
33 ould be a burden and a source of annoy-
ance.
“'hat Carillon \Vould Like.
“Pshaw, ” said Cannon. banter ingly,
" 'think of all you could do 33 ith $200, 000',
and it. 33 ould not be enough. After y 011
had giv en a few dinner parties each month,
when you had a saddle horse for your self,
a nice quiet team and cariiage for your
wife to 11113 e about 33 ith and a pair of
steady horses for your own use to a coupe
to take you to and from the Capitol, you
would soon see that $200, 000 was very little
money For n13 part, if I could have an
income of fifty thousand a year on 4 per
cent. bon ds, so as to have a sure thing, I
should be satisfied."
“No, no, ' replied Mr. Holman, waving
his hand as if to 33' .11 (1 off temptation and
still speaking seriously: “I would not have
it. The height of my ambition is to have
one hor sc and a buggy to dri3 e about with.
If I could afford that I should not want
any g1 and equipage. What are the hun-
dreds of other people who ha3e to toil and
struggle for enough bread to eat going to
do if Single indiv iduals held large fortunes
of upward of 8:.300 000? Ev my one ambi-
tious fo1 33 ealth should think of that. The
prayer, ‘I want neither poverty nor wealth,’
is one that should be on every man’s lips.
“Extreme pov city is a bad thing, but]
doubt if excessive wealth is any more to
be desired. Comfort is enough. I think
sometimes of how the public men of fifty
years ago liv ed, 3"e1y simply and at small
expense, but remember that they were as
comfortable and as contented as any one
of today is. IV hen the salary of a con-
gressman was but $3, 000 a year I lived as
well and was as happy as I now am on
$5, 000. We li3 ed near the Capitol build-
ing. \early all the men in congress liv ed
in this neighborhood then, all alonv Mis-
souri avenue and Second and Third street;
all about where none of them live now.
Public men then lived economically.”
\Vebster Cited.
“You forget, ” bloke' 111 M1.Ca11non,“to
go deep enough into history Think of
Webster up to his ears in debt, and Cor-
coran here making him a present of $10, -
000: and of his dying and leaving his debts
to his friends."
“No, 'r'etm ted Holman, “\Vebster was
not a philosopher. He 33 as a man 3v ho
would borr'o33 money to meet some press-
ing demand, and before he got home with
it would give it to some one whom he met
in distress, forgetting the object for which
be borrowed it. I hold that there 1s greater
happiness and comfort in simplicity of liv-
ing. It' 1s now1 raised to a more expensive
scale, and we all feel it Our salaries to-
day do not seem to go as far as did the
smaller salaries of earlier days. It has
long been an idea with me to have a farm
—a larger farm than that I now have,
which 1 inherited from my father, 100
acres.
“Early in the fifties 1 went to Iowa and
took up. a farm of 250 acres, with land 3var
rants, intending to make a home of it
some time. -But soon afterward I was
elected to congress and changed all my
plans as to going west to live. I held that
farm, paying taxes on it, with the idea that
some day it might inciease in value, until
ten years ago, when I sold it for five dol~
lars an acre. Soon after I sold it coal was
found on it and a mine is operated there
now, the royalty from which, if I had it,
would give me as large an income as I
would want.”
United States Vessels Doomed.
NEW Bnnroun, Mass, March lit—The
revenue cutters Gallatin, of Boston, and
the Dexter, of New York, have arrived
here. The crew of the Triana, wrecked on
Cuttyhunk, were brought here by the
Dexter. At 5 o’clock this morning'the
Dexter left 'Newport for Gay Head. At
8:15 she arrived at Cuttyhunk. The wind
was blowing a gale from the southwest
and tremendous seas were breaking over '
the Triana. The stern of the Triana is
completely out .of the water, while her
bows are almost submerged. Unless the
wind abates the vessel cannot hold
together long. Only a glimpse of the Ga.-
lena was obtained by the captain of the
Dexter. He says the vessel is doomed.
Nothing can save her. The Galena was
almost hidden from sight by the immense
, waves that were making a clean breach
over her. Only her masts could be seen
thrOugh the mist. The officers of the
Dexter are of the opinion the vessels are
doomed. .
The Insane A'sylunl Horror.
NASHVILLE, March 17.——N0'efl?ort has yet
been made to recover the bodies from the
ruins of the Central Tennessee Insane
asylum the. The list of the dead has been
lengthened to eleven. Aside from those
known to be dead there is only one miss
ing patient from the asylum—James Bur
ton. As he is known to have made several
attempts to throw himself into the fire, it
is feared that he, too, is among those whc
perished in the flames.
