The dedication of Washington Arch, which was to have taken Place a week ago but was postponed on account of the storm, was one of the most Interest- lnr and memorable events of the week. At the celebration oj -tne centennial 01 the foundation of our government a wooden arch, elaborately ornamented, was erected at the end of Fifth avenue, where it meets Washington Square. In the early portion of the present century.

and up. to U40. this was the moat fashionable portion of the city. At that time It was on the outskirts 01 the town, ana Washington Square was surrounded by ths comfortable mansions of the richest people in New Tork. A short distance below was Bleeker street, where all the foreign consuls resided on a block called Consular Row, and all around them the streets were tilled with aristocratic neighbors.

Of late years the entire neighbor hood has fallen into disrepute. Aristo cratic Consular Row became the home of the worst while Washington Square lost cast only a few of the old families refusing to move and follow the UP-town march 01 New xork Hie.

In Great Poms. At ths closs of the celebration It was suggested by a Mr. Stewart that it be commemorated by a permanent arch of marble. Tne celebrated architect Stan ford Whits was called to the work, the funds were raised In a short time by voluntary contribution, and the result waa the arch which was dedicated this week, the most beautiful on the continent of America. If not in the -world.

Its dedication was made the occasion of great pomp and magnificence. The governor of the state, attended by one off the most brilliant staffs ever seen in New Tork, led the great procession. The weather was perfect and the great mill- ary aispiay very imposing, xnousanos of enthusiastic cltiaens crowded the etreetii along the line of march and filled WaahlngtonSauare to overflowing.

After fifteen years of arduous labor Mr.

Geddie' visited his native province and It is stated that "on departing from Aneltyum which he had found fifteen, years before wholly given to Idolatry, he bad sought tor acme of the old gods to bring homev-but he could find no god en the whole Island but tha God who made heaven and, earth." During his stay at horns he visited the western provlncea awakening everywhere a deen interest In foreign missions. Indeed sp strongly did he Impress upon. tns cnurcn 01 tne wear its duty in tnis respect, that a wish was expressed to oc-operate with Mr. Geddie In the New Hebrides. Mr.

Thia "little one has become a thousand." Auxiliaries and mission bands, numberlnf about 800. are scattered all over Ontario and In parts of the Nortfawest In these there are over 22.000 members.

Trinidad, and he Is en route to New Yorfc, where, he declares, he has been offered S2S.9G0 and a ticket back to Cuba tor, letting the doctors amputate his left arm in the Interest of science. The Human Puzzle is a short, stocky-looking knight of the road, and his great speciality is self-torture and mutilation. He sticks pins and needles Into any part of him he can reach, and he is decorated all over wun scars inflicted by obliging Individuals who at his request have experimented on him, 1 Ths Puzzle nays he has no physical sensibilities and no blood in his body. This last Is very thoroughly disproved by a strong, healthy pulse at the wrist but the former one might believe from the fact that he sticks darning needles though his tongue and hat, pins th.ii Vmth kirif-a of his wniie he invites any one wno interested run a lona boi bonnet pin ki n.

This he says he amputated In New Orleans Just to show that ho would not bleed, and the proposed amputation which he says is to laxe nlacs at Bellevue Hospital In New Tork will be ths consummation ot a long and Interesting public career. After that the Puzzle says he will walk back to New Orleans on stilts tar a wager, and sail for Cuba to enjoy ln an affluent old age the fruita of his youthful travel and adventure.
