His Monument In New York and Why It It There. ( "Everybody who lives in New York knows or ought to know by this time | where the Worth monument Is hut bow many know what it's nil about," ( said u New Yorker to a group of friends who were Standing In front of , the monument in Madison square. "I should say," tie went on, "that i more persons pass by hero every day than by any other spot In Manhattan, , excepting Nassau and Frankfort streets, yet I'll wager that most of you , do not know who Worth was." "Pooh!" remarked the only non-New Yorker In the group, who had just come down from Albany and hadn't , been in Madison square but once he fore in his life. "Worth was with , Pope In the Army of the Potomac and was killed when he was with Sherman , In the march through Georgia." "Oh. you're way off there, John," in- , terruptcd another. "I can see near the base in big bronze letters: , "By the Corporation of the City of New York, 1S?7. Honor tlie Brav?." i The year 1SD7 settled the Army of the Potomac und marching through Georgia guess. One of the onlookers has been a guest of a nearby hotel for several years. He kuuw it all?at least he thought he did. "That monument," ho said, "was erected to the memory of General Worth, who won great fame with Scott during our war with Mexico. Am I ' right?" "Right you are," said the onlooker who had started the talk, "but," he con tinned, "why did the city of New York take such a special interest In his mem ory as to build that monument in his honor?" "That's easy." was the reply of the 1 ancient guest of the nearby hotel. "It was because Worth was born in this city and the city was proud of him as one of her distinguished sons." About this time along strolled a tall man who was apparently acquainted with the onlookers and had heard the last question and the answer. There 1 was n broad grin on his face. He was a former Inspector of police. He put lu a question or two, aud in answering not one of the group could tell whether Worth was killed in bat tle or where lie was buried. But all 1 agreed that he was horn in New York city. "Just come over to the monument and take a look at the north side Blab 1 und get posted," said the ex Inspector. And the group wont with him. This is 1 what they read on the slab, and they all afterward acknowledged that then and there they had read it for the first time in their lives: Uruior thin Monument Lies tlie liodv of WILLIAM JENKINS WORTH, Horn In Hudson, N. Y., March 1, 1704. Died In Texas May 7, 1849. The fact is that not one person In ten thousand In crossing to or from Fifth avenue to Broadway takes the Twenty-fifth street crossing on the monument side, and therefore few per sons other than tourists ever stop to road what is Oil the slab. It so hap pens, too, that ihc sunlight seldom touches that side of the monument. Moreover, as the slab and bronze let ters on It are very dark, pnssersby seldom give it any notice. "If out of a dozen New Yorkers who have lived nearly all their lives within a stone's throw of this monument only one knew lhat Gcnctal Worth fought in the Mexican war and none knew that his body lies under the monument, how few of the millions who pass hv it every year ever heard of the gen eral's name?" That Mas tho remark the ox-Inspector made to the group of New Yorkers after they had read tho slab.? New York Bun, Hie Qentle Reproof. The London newspapers used to make ? distinction between a simple notice of n denth, for whic h they charg ed .r? shillings, und n brief obituary, for which they demanded seven and sixpence. Ono day Dr. Thomas Hume called at the oflice of a morning Jour nal and silently placed upon the coun ter the announcement of the death of a friend, together with 5 Shillings. The clerk glanced at the papor, tossed it to one side and said gruffly, "Seven and six!" "i have frequently." answered Hume, "had occasion to publish these simple notices, and I have never before been charged more than ,T shillings." "Simple:" repented tho clerk without looking up. "There's an added line, 'universally beloved and deeply regret ted,' Isn't there? Seven and six." Hume produced tho additional hnlf crown and laid it deliberately by tho others, observing in his most solemn tone, "Congratulate yourself, sir, that this is an expense which your execu tors Will never be put to." Worth It. A certain gentleman who Is of a Jov ial disposition is also very big and stout, his weight being soincwhero in IllO neighborhood of twenty stone. On leaving n friend's house one evening ho was just about to hlro a cab to take him home when his host offered lilm the loan of his carriage. The visitor accordingly dismissed the cabman, ten dering at the same time a shilling for the uncommeneed journey. To his as tonishment, cabby asked for another sixpence. "What do you mean?" demanded ttio gentleman angrily. "The fare would only have been a shilling If I had actually gone all tho way." "That's right enough," cabby replied, with an ingratiating smile, "hut just think o' the fright nio an' the 'orso 'ad when you 'ailed us."?London Mall.
