On the pommel, which is of tbe precious metal, is c?rvtd tbe name "Olympia," the ?igthip of !he Asiustic Squadron, which bore tbe tiero of Manila to victory, and along side is the zodiacal ejtnu.il of Decem? ber, the Admiral's btrtb month. Ea circling this is a closbly viov.-u wreath of oak leaves, emblematic of tank. The pommel is embraced by a gold | collar of exquisite tiuish upon tbe front of which are engraved the arms of the United States with the blue held of the shield iu jeweled enamel. Below is rep? resented the coat of arms of Vermont, his native State, with the motto "Free? dom and Unity" engraved with artistic taste. Tbe shield of the Vermont arms1 is oruameuttd in colors, enameled, and toe retnaindtr of tbe gold collar is or? namented with miniature jeweled stars and a narrow band of oak leaves carved ui nie polished gold. Tne sword blade is damascened with .ne inscrip.iou : ?' I'De Gift of the Nation to Rear Ad iniia! George Dewey, U. S. N., in mem ..-v of the Victory of Manila Bay, Ai?y 1, 1S9S." The grip or handle of the sword is covered with fine shark's skin, bound tightly with gold wire and inlaid with stars of pure gold. The hand guard is :oimed by tbe representation of an agle, the outstretched wings forming .be guard proper. Thescabbaid is of thin steel, damas? cened in gold with sprays of a delicate iea plant, the nos marimus, typical of fidelity, constancy and remembrance. These flowery eprajs interlace and em? brace gold stars, while around the outer c'dges are engrossed dolphins. Sprays of oak leaves and acorns se? cure tbe rings and trappings of tbe seab? oard; above these on the front of the tcabbard is a ruised monogram in dia? monds entwinicg the letters "G. D.," and immediately under them are the otters "U. S, N.," surrounded by sprays of the sea plant. The ferrule, or lower end of the scabbard, terminates in en wined iiold dolphins.

Mr. Collerau said on Monday: "Whenever there is a big gathering of this kind, of cturse the ligbtfiogprei gentry and professional thieves from all over the country are attracted. Tbey expect to pass unnoticed iu the bustle and excitement, and make a good haul. Sharp eyes are fwatching them now, however, and I believe the celebration will pass over without any serious thefts iaking place." Mr Colleran is combin? ing busiuesss with pleasure.
