T HE United States'NatjArtal museum at Washington has recently received nnd put on exhlbUfon a notable coliectioh of swords, tmlfonus and mIf*6ellnneotis rHIrs/Yif Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan. These mernentos • were a gift to tfve museum from George B. McClellan of Princeton university. Tiie swords, of .which there are nine, are perhaps the most interesting feature, of the ..collection. The most striking of these Is n gold-mounted sword set with pearls presented to- McClellan by a number of citizens of Boston In 18C3, in recognition .oT his services during -the Civil war. The scahbard is inscribed, “To Major General George B. McClellan, from .many cl'tlzetni. of Boston, Feb, 5, 18(k3. 1 Pro rrge saepe. pro pntrla semper.” Two swords in the collection were car ried by McClellan In the Civil war, n\dress sword and a service sword. -~ The other swords in the collection commemorate his Mexican war ^service, one dres? sword having been presented to hint.“by a number of gentJCtm*n. tis, a testimonial of tlieir high admiration, for'tils.gallantry during the war with Mexico. First, at the siege of Vera Cruz; second, the battle of Cerro Gordo; third, battle of Contreras; fourth, battle of Churubusco; fifth* Chapultepeq; sixth, capture of the City of Mexico.” Another of the swords carried in the Mexican war is a service saber with a small piece of the hilt broken away. 'The., donor of the collection writes: “A piece of the.-hilt of this sword was" 1 carried away by a bullet which slightly vrounded General McClellan^^C?? 1 hand.” — Among the other relics of this gn ut!^^^^iean general are several uni forms^ spiers, field glasses, revolvers,’ powder' flasks, and a number of more personal relics. • » Wild West* exhibition that played Tipton recently.
