Fortunately the addresses give authente and accurate description of the balding and histories of the funds and of the institutions. JUDGE MALLON'S ADDRESS. After an opening prayer by Rev. Mr. Gray Judge In ciptents of their bounty.

As as the house is completed the Old Men's Home will organize under rules similar to those adopted by the Widows', and receive Inmates.

The living men who have given largely of their time, money and influence to both these charities. and who have originated and sustained them, will not permit mention of their names in this sketch. Nor will the indies. I would not proclaim their deeds from should the housetops. but 1 would that Cincinnati know and recognize the men and women who are rearing institutions in and for the city that will yet prove her most cherisbed if not ber proudest monuments.

These men and women have sought no recognition: they ask no publication. What they bave done was for the love of God and the love of fellow man. When life, with its labors, is drawing to a close. coronal of such life work will be more honorable than the crown of Queens or the heroes' glory.

The structures that we raise in our day- -as asylums for the poor, the old, the orphan, and nature's unfortunates-will prove a greater blessing to our race than ail the forgotten Fanes of an ancient and age.

JUDGE COLLINS' ADDRESS. Judge Collins, the next speaker after Judge Mallon, made the following remarks: The work innugarated here to-day is AIL outgrowth of the sentiment ot respect for old age. More than three thousand years ago it was proclaimed amid the thunders of Sinal. "Honor thy father and thy mother." There words bave been resounding through the centuries ever since.

They have been proclaimed not only in the Hebrew and Greek and Latin, but in all tongues and among all nations. They nave been learned by heart by the civilized world. But a new generation has risen up that knows not Moses; that suggests that It was "mistake of Moses" to inculeate honor and respect to the old. Mallon spoke as follows: Moses" to inculeate honor and respect to the old.

can sleep soundly and sweetly without reason to bate and despire himself. There is philosophy as well as Scripture for the declaration that liberal soul shall be made fat." The niggardly man was doubtless originally created in the image of his Maker, but be has so perverted the purposes of his creation that the likeness is longer distinguishable. Look out upon the green fields and the foreata, the hills and the valleys. the rivers and the plains; up into the blue sky and down into the earth-see with what lavish profusion God has bestowed His gifts. and remember that as we have freely received, so should we freely give.

One thing more and I have done. A cold, caleulating, sordid life, which results in nothing more or better than a rich estate to be quar eled over and equandered by a lot of worthless, spendthrift heirs, is a lamentable failure. It is like the fruit that turns to Asbes. Many, very many, of the wrecks of society in the track of its wealthy familles. And it is a poor, pitiful record for any man's memory that you have to go to a grave-yard and bunt up the marble shaft over his body to find his monument.

Nobody will need to visit Spr.ng Grove to find the montiment of Reuben Springer. It is not necessary to know where Charles MoMicken lies buried to find his monument. The place for monuments is not among the dead, but among the living. A mausoleum is the most useless structure on the face of the earth. It illustrates the pride or vanity of the living, but it is no fit tribute to the dead.

The wise man bulids his own monuments by good deeds for the benfit of his fellow men. The poor as well as the rich can build them. What tribute to the memory of Nathan Guilford is the common school system of Ohio! With what luster have the learning, genius and writings of poor, neglected, poverty-stricken Daniel Vaughn adorned his name! This City of Cincinnati is great in her population and wealth, her workshops and factories, her commerce and her trade these beautiful hills and suburbs crowning Queen: but her glory and pride are her University, ber High Schools, her Art School, her Music Hail, her Bethel, and her Fountain. provided by the munificent liberality of ber public spirited citizens. These have done great things for the advancement of the city, and are ily leading her forward to the first rank in culture and refinement, and making her city desirabie and famous.

And what glorious record for the men who-e names are inseparably connected with these great benefactions! Here to-day has been aid the corner-stone of another noble and enduring monument.

Rebel, a Spy and a Union Officer- A Prisoner of War in From Cuba and. a Vietim of the Chicago Fire--Now an Illinois Farmer. Special Correspondence of the Engutrer. DECATUR, ILL, July 2, 1879. "GENERAL DON CAROLS Is in the other car, said a friend to me last night while en route here on the Wabash Railroad.

had heard so much of this Ohioan with a history that I went into the sleeping-car to get an introduction, I found him a magnificent specimen of physical mauhood, perfect in his manners and entertaining in the highest degree socially. His brilliant black eyes almost talked as he spoke of business, the state of the crops, and almost every subject but himself. But from my friend I learned a few of the leading incidents in the life of this man, which seem like fiction rather than a sketch of real life. Previous to the war he graduated at Oxford, in Butler County, in the same class with THE GALLANT JOE BATTLE. Who, with his brother, fell beside their father at Shiloh while Oghting under the flag of the Lost Cause.

After graduating he went to Hamilton and read law with Judge Clark, who squired some notoriety at Hamilton by his advocacy of the right of secession in 1860-61. When the war came. Hasselteno determiued to risk his fortunes with the Confederacy. He started South under the pretext of escorting to her husband in Tenuessee Mrs. Dallie.

the wife of Adjutant Joe Battle, of the Sixth Tennessee. They passed south from Louisville on the Jast train which left that city before the war, and arrived safely at Nashville. From there youug Hasselteno went to Montzomery. then THE CONFEDERATE CAPITAL, Where he was appointed Major, and a little later Lieutenant-Colouel, and was ordered to Pensacola, Fiorida. When that place fell into the hands of the National troops he was captured, but within day or two made his escape.

His next point of duty was at Fort McHenry, from whence he went to Louisville and bought for the Confederate troops a quantity of supplies, and succeeded in getting them safely within the Confederate lines, When GENERAL GRANT Was advancing upon Fort Donelson, he went out as a spy, and spent the most of three days with the Federals. Being recognized, he was ordered to be shot at about nine o'clock in the evening, but in the rain and darkness again made his escape, aud reached the fort at daylight the next morning. drenched and almost frozen. But upon his report being heard, it was decided to evacuate the fort with most of the forces. FROM ISLAND NO.

10 He fell back to Memphis, and, believing that nothing would stay the victorious march of the Union arms, sent in his resignation, which was accepted. When the Federals occupied Memphis he remained there, trusting to nerve and luck to get away. To his horror he learned next day that Colonel Alexander, of the Forty-eighth Indians, with whom he was at College, was made Provost Marshal of the post, and that no one could leave the city except upon DASS issued by him. He had some knowledge of French, aud had grown quite a beard since leaving school, and he determined to take the -risk. Walking into the Colonel's room, with many shrugs and gesticulations, he asked for a San Louie," and continued it with such vehemence that the Colonel finally said to his assistant.

the d-d Frenchman a pass to St. Louis." While going up the river HE WAS IN CONSTANT DREAD Of recognition, but, fortunately, did not meet soul whom he knew. Hardly had he landed when he met 8 former schoolmate and intimate friend from Hamilton, who was then an assistant engineer in the navy. Ais friend knew that be had gone South, and accused him of being du St. Louis as a spy.

This he denied, and then told him all the details of his adventures, and finally appealed to his friend for savice 85 to what he should do, or where he should go, for he began to' feel unsafe there. His friend advised him not to return to Hamilton, where he would be in certain danger, and finally suggest that he apply for afappointment as an assistant engiueer in the navy. Why, I don't know a steam-engine from a horse-power." WAs his answer. But his friend proposed to help him out, and provided him with a lot of books which would teach him all the theory, and at them he went, and in six weeks he went before the Examining Board and passed as a first assistant engineer, and was ordered to duty on the gun-boat Essex, the flag-ship of COMMODORE PORTER Who was in command of the Mississippi River flotilla. This was knew jumping out of the frying of pan into the fire.

He nothing practically the gine; tinking tnen, as he told a triend, "that the pumping engines must be for the purpose of moving the vessel But luck was on his side. While laying in port, or before going to duty, he got 8 few talks with Commodore Porter and succeeded in getting promoted to the rank of Chief Engineer in the navy, and assigned to duty on the staff of the Commodore. If those WRO read this will take the trouble to rend the report of THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY To Congress in 1864 they will find that that official transmitted to Congross that part of Commodore Porter's report which embraces a report of Chief Engineer Hasseiteno on the construction of ironclad gun-boats, and recommended the adoption of the report. After the close of the ili-fated RED RIVER CAMPAIGN Hasselteno was ordered to St. Louis to inspect and superintend the construction the iron-clads which were being built by McCord Co.

But just before leaving his vessel be had a quarrel with a fellow-officer, whom he challenged, but when the challenge was declined he opened on the other party with a batter of derringers, fortunately missing the object of his aim. In 1865 he went to some European port and brought home A BLOCKADE RUNNER, The name of which I have forgotten. In the early part of 1866 he was mustered out of service, and went to New Orleans, intending to go into business In the July riots in that city he was shot through the shoulder, and, thinking the climate unhealthy, went back to St. Louis. Here he fell in with a representative of the Government of Chill, and went to South America.

In the attack on CalIno-for Peru and Chili were then at war he fell into the bands of the Peruvians, and, with his usuals luck, WAS SENTENCED TO BE SHOT. By bribing the guards he succeeded in escaping, and making his way on board of an English vessel was landed at Panama. Crossing the isthmus to Aspinwall be found vessel ready to leave for New Orleans, and though without money managed to secure a to that place. Without money, he was naturally open for any adventure, and representative of the Cuban rebellion was the first who offered him a chance. He sailed directly for Nuevitas, and before be had been in that port a week had fallen in love with a young Cuban widow.

who, though childless, was posse-sed of an immense plantation. After the briefest possible courtship they were married in the latter part of 1877, or early in 1875, and within three mouths of the wedding she died from yellow fever, and before the end of the year her estate, which ho had inherited, was confiscated, and he escaped with his life barely, landing in Florida in an open boat and in A starved condition, WITHOUT FRIENDS OR MONEY. He managed to reach Indianapolis in July, 1869, when a naval acquaintance and friend, James Noble, gave him an outfit of clothes and money sufficient to take him to Chicago. Here he determined to locate, went to work to find business. He got an agency for the sale of coal, and soon bad quito a start in the coal business.

When TUE CHICAGO FIRE Broke out. on that dreadtul Sunday night, he was out on the lake boating with a party of friends. When he got back the conflagration had swept away his little con1-pile, his office and sleepingroom, and he was again left in the world without a change of clothes and less than $5 in money. The third day of the fire he was found by Otto Hasselman, of the Indianapolis Journal, who WAS on the ground with a corps of reporters, and by him sent to Indianapolis, where he was again furnished with an outfit and a ticket to St. 1 Louis.

Shortly after reaching that place he entered the service of the wholesale house of R. L. Billingsley and remained with them until a year ago, when he purchased a farm in Illinois. This he thinks will not burn up or become involved rebellion. JAYHAWKER.

The Smoke Consumers Plea. CINCINNATI, July 1, 1879. To the Editor of the Enqutrer: no use to talk of smoke-consumers to business men. My husband would rather refurnish his house yearly from top to bottom than be bothered with the men with smoke-consumers and their attendant expense and That is an excerpt from your lady reporter's article of this moruing. it being the expression of a lady whose husband, we naturally infer, is a manufacturer, and makes, among other thinks, smoke.

If true, and the prevailing sentiment among manufacturers, it is unfortunate for the men baving smoke-consumers, for the city, and especially for the ladies' movement, now fairly launched. If true, the hopes that are now indulged in by the ladies of our smoke-begrimed city are already doomed. If true, why not apply the same narrow reasoning to any other branch of bus ness? A8 well might it be said would prefer to live ou in our grime and dirt than be bothered by these traveling soap men, who continually clamor for the sale of their wares." 1 seems to the writer that such a position as is assumed by this of mine." if extended, will prove the nearest to a death-blow to any enterprise looking toward the cleanliness and comfort of our city. expense." by which is meant the expense of a trial, I presume. It 15 generally understood that, as a ruie, there is no expense to the manufacturer atteadant upon a triai, The owners of the various devices for the consumptiou of smoke, I am assured, offer to apply the same free of all cost, depending upon their suocess for their ultimste compensation.

If are a failure, the manufacturer is not 1 muicied in very heavy damages. If successini the object is attained; when no doubt they (the manufacturers) are willing to pay. But there's another view of the case. Manufaotureis and others talk about successful smokeconsumer being the "biggest thing say there's millions In it, and cry Godspeed. But do they talk thus when the article is presented to them? I AD informed to the contrary.

Talk is cheap. Action, according to their talk, dilatory and discouraging. An inc dent was related to the writer worthy pisce bere, and as filustrative: Said one of the prom nent manufacturers in Cincinnati, after an exhaustive discussion on the smoke subject, during which he gave expression to views indicative of great public spirit and a desire to adopt the fret thing Suat offered which looked promising, for, said be, smoke is a terrible nuisance to the neighborhood and I feel that it should be suppressed." month or two later a very meritorious device WAS presented to him with the desire expressed to apply it without cost to him unless it did all that was claimed for it. in which case he was to pay an insignificant price for it. "Well," said he, "we don't care much about the smoke.

It doesn't affect us. True, it does our neighbors, and they complain, but our business 15 legitimate. and we are not accountable for the smoke or the trouble growing out of IL But you might go among the parties most affected. when they would probably subscribe liberally so have it applied to our furnace." That's the way one prominent manufacturer turned his jacket when the Smoke Consumer came up for judgment. True, he is no criterion, and happily we all know that he is an exception to the rule.

But "That Husband of Mine" is evidently not angelle in disposition, nor disposed to follow the precepts of the Golden Rule. He bates the name of Smoke Consumer," which means, I presume, that he will not listen to the presentat on of any claims in that direction, and yet he makes things to sell as well as sinoke; has his drummers out to present his claims to preference, and it is not impossible that the name of his gods offends the nostrils of his would-be customers in much the same way. But this is all wrong. The people of Cincinnati either do or do not want this nuisance of smoke abated. It would cause a saving of many thousand dollars each year.

This is conceded. But it is impossible to succeed in this direction without consent and aid of the manufacturers whom the writer believes are not of the same kidney as Iny busband" or the exceptional case mentioned. Controversy on this subject should be discountenanced-discussion invited and encouraged. The derices now presented should have a chance to demonstrate their worth, or otherwise. Apathy or inaction surely will not accomplish any thing: and, as a suffering citizen, I mention that smokeconsumers should be encouraged, until at last shall be inscribed upon the outer walls of our city.

CITiZEn. Tobacco Planting. RIPLEY, OHIO, July 2, 1879. To the Editor of the Enquirer: As Cincinnati enjoys the distinction of being the largest tobacco market in the United States it becomes duty to keep ber leading newspaper fully informed as to the annual production of this importan: staple. This report covers the work of the tobacco growers in a district which yearly ships from twenty to twenty-five million pounds of such cutting and smoking leaf as has gained a nigh reputation in both foreign and domestic markets.

Your correspondent is to-day able to give full and ca efuily-collected facts as to the planting. In my dispatch of May 27th it was stated that unless favorable "seasons' soon set in the prospects for getting out an average crop were very slim. Such was the fact then, as the protracted drought then prevailing made a really gloomy outlook. We had fine showers about the first of June, however, and all the ground then prepared was planted. In new ground the plants grew finely; in older fields they did not stand so well.

On Friday and Saturday of last week we had as fine a season for setting as could be prayed for. Our farmers were all ready for it, and the result is that a very fuil acreage has been planted. The high prices ruling on our style of tobacco, taken with the fact that old stock is scarce, bave stimulated our growers to make strong efforts at raising a large crop. A reliable estimate would place the planting at from one-third to one-half larger than an average setting. The plants put out last week will grow right along, as they were la ge and bad become accustomed to the hot weather.

The replanting is in time to allow it to "catch up." Nothing but the white tobacco has been put out in the river counties, and It has an abundance of time to mature in. Prospects are certainly flattering for a larve yleid. The quarity of the crop can only be decided by the weather in July. August and September, but it may be said that when our tobacco once gets a start at growing it is almost an infallible crop. At cutting time the ENQUIRER will be furnished with a fuil statement of the result.

C. A. L. Wants the Physicians to Cure selves. To the Editor of the Enouirer: Now that the ladies are making the effort to abate the smoke nuisance, and are so ably backed rially by the daily journals, can you tell us why those "great moral engines" don't practice what they preach by abolishing the black cloud that arises from each one of their office chimneys? Surely it would be a strong example, and of AS much practical benefit as 80 many well written editorials.
