ENGLISH justice is slow but it is doing
s good work in unearthing the dastardly
murderers of Lord Cavendish, and Under
Secretary Burke The first one of the
batch tried was Joe Brady and he has
been found guilty and sentenced to he
hung in May.
WHETHER the apparition which ap-peared

there are some people In Eastern Penn-sylvania
just ripe enough for a visitation
from the first named personage.

ANOTHER professor, tliistimealtusslan

piing to blow England into smithereens,

that we will bo compelled to skip

vlijic lb" tweinh was not fully satisfied.
Afler a mutual interchange of views
and a thorough sifting of tlie eviden c,
a second ballot was inken in which tlie
doubtful juror showed that lie had been
convinced, by voting with the other
eleven. The next point taken into con-sideration
was whether (he evidence was
sufficient to warrant tlie view that
Silas Gray had been with the woman
on her fatal journey. On this branch
of the ease, as in fact on every
ballot, every chance was afforded
for biinging out every point for
and against tlie prisoner. After thor-oughly
discussing tlie question the ballot
was taken and once more it was unani-mous
that Gray and tlie woman had
been together. Then came tho fourth
and last hail'd, in which tlie subject of
tlie vole was win rSilas Gray was tlie
murderer of Mrs. (’ready. This vote
resulted in the de ration of each juror
that his belief w rat Gray was guilty.
Before leaving tl jury mom, an agree-ment
was made ween the members
that tha course < their deliberations
should not lie re tied until sentence
had been pronoun 1 upon the prisoner
—and tho secret w well kept.
Tlie finding of tl »jury was sustained
by Judge Hunter i his refusal of an ap-plication
for n new Hill, hy tlie Supreme
Court in the confirn ition of tlie rulings
of tlie Court below, and hy tlie Pardon
Board in their refusal to recommend
Gray for executive clemency.
Now that the Biwermaster affidavit
and tlie declarations of other fellow-con-victs
of Jack Petits have been made
which go to show that Fctiss was tlie
slayer of Mrs. McCrcady. a new interest
is taken in the case, but whatever may
be the notion of tlie Pardon Board, the
twelve jurymen will remain convinced
that their finding Was a righteous one
Based upon tlie evidence.

AN HONEST MAN
Placed In Nomination for a SronndroP.
Vacated Scat.
Tho Ffivetto Democratic County Com-initios
met on Saturday Afternoon ut the
Fulton House, in TTniontown and nom-inated
Hugh J. Gilmore, of Masontown,
as the candidate for Dukes’ seat in the
DoHriHlaturo. Tho nomination was A sur-prise
to pcoplo, as it was generally
thought that Colonel Reariprht would
succeed in having his man, Hill, nom-inated.
Tho nnti-SeArip;ht men, how-ever,
were confident that such would
not be ttie ease, and went into tho meet-ing
determined to defeat Hill, and by so
doing kill Hoaright ffcr tho judjrcship.
The contest was a very Hitter ono, and
se\en ballots wore taken before a nomin-ation
was made. There wore 12 candi-dates
on tho first ballot, Trill receiving
oitfht and Gilmore six. On one ballot
Hill received 15, tho highest vote cast
for him. On tho last ballot ho got 13,
hut Gilmore’s Increased to 21, and lie
was therefore nominated by a majority
of ono over all, as there were 4ft votes in
tho convention. It was a terrible blow
at Searight. Gilmore Is a man ofcharac-ter,
and is no Dukes sympathizer.
Bold Roblifrlcfi.
On Thursday evening of last week,
awhile after dark, three or four men, all
masked, entered the farm-house of Noah
Burkholder, in Summit township, and
drawing revolvers threatened to shoot
the members of the family if they did
not surrender all the money they had
about the premises. The family were
badly frightened by the threats and vio-lent
conduct of the thieve? and inter-posed
no objections. The thieves secur-ed
about $132.
Leaving Mr. Burkholder’s the partv of
masked men next entered the farm
bouse of Mr. Samuel M. Like, a well to-do
farmer in the same township. Here
they again drew revolvers threatened
the lives of the inmates and demanded
that Mr. Like produce his chest—evi-dently
knowing where the farmer kept
his money and valuable papers. Secur-ing
the chest they broke it open and
took from it $000 in money, about $4,000
in notes, and valuable papers. After
this the thieves left, taking the road
toward Meyersdale, and since nothing
bus been heard of their whereabouts.
Investigation is being made in a quiet
way to learn if possible who the party
was, os some persons living in that sec-lion
are strongly suspicioned. The
thieves, it would appear, knew where to
go to commit robbery, aa they made
quite a respectable haul at both places.

The Mountain Calf.
Stewart Johnston liven at Laurelvilie
I slid is tlie owner of a calf. Robert
smith resides at tlie same place and is
the owner of a dog. About three weeks
ajo the calf and the dog had a little so-cial
gathering at which the dog chewed
the calf's ear and gave such other evi-dence
of its esteem as to cause tho calf
to'rcquire medical attention. There was
« me belief that Hie calf would turn its
hiof3 toward tho skies and its spirit
wmld leave to blend its bawling with
tlie music of the spheres, but tiie belief
was not verified. The owners of the re-spactive
animals could not agree upon
tlie amount of damage done to the calf
by the dog, so Johnson summoned Smith
before Magistrate Stauffer, where ten
dollars were claimed. Twenty-twe wit-nesses
were called for and against the
claim, Tlie prosecutor was represented
by S.C. Kelley, Esq., tlie defendant by
JacobLobingier. After getting all tlie
points on dog and calf etiquette, His
Honor reserved his decision and took
the papors in tlie case.
P. S. The calf is getting better.
A Sunday Row at Morcwoocl.
On Sunday afternoon last, Edward
James, James Donaldson and Stcvo
Cams went to I. Ostrowslti’s house in
Hungary Row in search of whiskey.
Ostrowski refused them and as they be-came
obstreperous, tiio Hungarian rail
fur safety to Superintendent Ramsey,
who went to tho house and succeeded in
persuading tho men to go home. A sec-ond
visit was made, however, by James
and Donaldson, and upon Ostrowski’s
refusal to furnish the ardent, they threw
the old man out of his house and he
didn’t lose any time in wideningthe d’s-tance
between himself and his unwel-come
visitors. Superintendent Ramsey’s
aid was again invoked but tiie assailants
had by this time smashed in a door and
a window. Coal and Iron Policeman
Mason was summoned and lie secured
the brace of worthies and put them in
tiio lockup. A hearing was afforded tlie
men on Monday by Magistrate Stauffer,
and in default of $250 bail were taken
to the lockup, wdiere they spent Monday
night. On Tuesday morning they per-suaded
Constable Dullinger that, they
could get hail down in Spring Garden,
an! were taken out by Mr. Dullinger for
that purpose. When the trio had pro-ceeded
about half way down the prison-ers
seemed to come to tlie conclusion
that leg bail was tiio easiest and most
readily furnished, and they made a
break towards Hccla for liberty. The
constable pursued them about a mile
and then gave up tho chase in disgust.
Coal and Iron Policeman .Mason was
anything but pleased to find that the
birds had flown when lie went to the
ockup a few minutes later to take them
lo Greensburg.

A STRANGE STORY.
The H.'/stertous Visitant Who Broke Bp o
aii.liuylklll UlKMitlitiiious Gathering*
A circumstance of appalling interest is
vouched for by many persons residing in
this county, some of whom are of un-doubted
credibility. Near Pine Grove,
at the foot of a high mountain in a
thickly settled valley, populated almost
exclusively by rainem, stand* a little
tavern. Tlie colliers, tbeir wives and
families often meet for sociability at his
house, and frequently conviviality runs
high. Ou Saturday evenings particularly
it is not unusual for dances to be held
ihero accompanied by drinking a carou-sal
until daylight on Sunday morning-
Not far from this tavern is a small
church, iii which, during this last winter,
a very large awakening was had and
many of tho inhabitants of tlie valley
turned from tiio errors of tlieir ways and
sought association with its members.
Many of these bad been customers of tlie
landlord at tlie tavern, and lie set about
devising moans to avenge himself. He
and liis wife are very old aud might be
thought to have aacopted tho results in
a very different spirit than they mani
tested, but they conceived tlie blasphe-mous
scheme of holding a series of pro-tracted
meetings in tlieir barroom. Pur-suant
to tlieir call a large throng of
people gathered there, aud amidst
drunkenness aud profanity tlie mock re-ligious
exercises wore commenced. One
of the young moil acting a* minister,
opeued tiio meeting with singing a hymn,
in which nearly all present engaged;
then ho prayed, tlion delivered a sermon,
after which lie ordered u bench to be
placed in tiio front and exhorted all who
felt like it to come forward. Five or six
of both sexes came to tlie bench, knelt
down and commenced imitating tlie
mourners in tlie little church and with
loud gloaming and calling upon God to
save them, tiiey at length declared that
they were saved, after which theyjoined
tlie church. At this stage of these sacro-ligioiis
performances tlie tavern keeper
requosled them to tako the sacrament
and lie would furnish tho brandy.
The converts wore sitting on the bench
which had been provided for them when
tlie door quietly opened and a stranger
all black, with large fiery eyes, whose
lower limbs wore hairy aud like a goat’s,
with the round hoofs of a limrse’s feet,
appeared. In his hands lie had a small
book and asked those on the bench to
write tlieir names therein. All in tho
room saw this singular and spectral
figure. They were too frightened at first
to move, but in a moment a break was
made and they all fled upstairs, terrified
and afriglited, yelling and shrieking,
which caused someoftlie neighbor* to go
to the house to see wliat tho matter was.
Ono of the men who was present, but
took no part in the blasphemous pro-ceedings,
and remained after tlie other*
had fled, the demon being between him
and the place of egress from the house,
say* tliut after tlie others had gone tlie
strange and unnatural figure walked
backward aud forward, and then in thu
middle of tlie room dematerialized aud
vanished away. This man who saw tlie
phantom disappear is vouched for as ro
liable and trustworthy, which removes
tlie first impression of trickery having
beon rosorted to in tho matter.

WINTER WHEAT.
An Ultimate of 400,000,000 Bushels
flnud on Ihe Cuming Crop.
Mr. K. W. Tallmadge, of the Milwau-kee
Chamber of Commerce, furnishes
the following concerning tho wheat crop:
‘Having received official reports
from tlie treasurers of many com.*’
ties in the fifteen principal winter wheat
growing Slates, ineluding New York,
Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Mary-land,
Virginia, West Virginia, Tennes-see,
Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois,
Michigan, Missouri, Kansas and Califor-nia,
I find there lias been much damage
to tiro wheat from drought, fly and se-'
vero winter weather. In many cases tlie
wheat is reported as beingentirely killed
out by freezing. Taking tiio reports all
in all, I estimate that tiio average dam-age
will bo not less that twenty per cent.
Tlie acreage being the same ns last yenr,
and witli an average spring crop I place'
tlie yield of 1883 at about 400,000,000
bushels. Tho Agricultural Dopirtment
reports tiie crop of 1882 at 503,000,000
bushels. Should my estimate prove
correct, our crop for 1883 will run short
100,000,000 bushels from last year, or
50,000,000 short of tlie average crop lor
tho past five years.”

THE HERO AHEAD.
We spoke last week of the groat inno-vation
introduced in Alleghany in tiie
shape of a reform constable. This new
specimen lias settled down to work, and
there is mourning in the old first ward
of the smoke laden city. Burdened with a
sense of his responsibility, tiie reform
constublo has taken into bis head that
hitters and cigars nnd street car riding
nre not Sunday necesssitics, hut Sunday
luxuries. The citizen about town with
the sweet chimes of tiie peaceful Sabbath
belle ringing in bis ears is halted upon
the threshold of tiie saloon’s back door
with information that on one day of the
seven he must go without his eye opener
unless he lias foresight to provide for
indulgence in the sanctity of bis home.
Tiie smoker is compelled to withstand
the gnawings of appetite until lie can
seek a ward whore the reform constable
is an unknown quantity, and tho beei
and cigar dealers unitedly cry for ven-geance
upon the man who is driving tiie
first day of tlie wook trudo to a moro
congenial atmosphere. Tho street car
driver hath been haled before the city’s
chief magistrate by tiie reform constable
for unlawfully, willfully nnd maliciously
guiding tho sinful street car through tho
city’s streets upon the Christian Sabbath,
and the chief magistrate hath decided
the reform constable’s point well taken
and fined tiie driver. The manager of
the street car lino hath appealed the case
to a higher court, and now Alleghany
falleth back to await a decision and evil
minded men do mako tho case of the
reformed constable against the luw
breakers a subject for many wagers.
There is weeping and gnashing of
teeth in Alleghany.

NEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Contract Awnrilril For tho .fall and Slier-tfl'i
l>\T« llitiK.
At a meeting on Friday of the Board
of County Commissioners, it was decided
to let the contract of tho new jail and
Sheriff’s residence to Huckcnstcin & Co,,
of Allegheny city. This firm was the
lowest bidder, tlo-ir proposal being$1111,
700 for brick. Tho contracting firm en-ter
into an agreement an I give bond in
tho mini of $10,000 to faithfully and sat*
isfactorully do tho work in accordance
with tiie plans and specifications as fur-nished
by llio architect. Twenty per
cent, of tho contract money is also with-held
until the work shall have been
completed. A complete discriptiun of
the proposed new public buildings was
published in tho “Democrat’’SOIIIO weeks
ago. Our render* are therefore familiar
with tiro high standard, completeness
and extent of tho enterprise. Work will
lie commenced as soon us the necessary
arrangements will admit. It will then
be pushed along as rapidly as thosolidity
thorough character of the structures w ill
allow. Thu contract will call for tiie
completion of tiie buildings by the Istof
August, 1881, It is thought, however,
ttiat tho jail building proper will I to
in readiness for occupancy by tho let
of January, 188-1. When completed tiie

PRESS COMMENTS.
The Hidden Reason.
From the Greensburg Argus.
Tiie leading chuinpions of tiie anti-free
puss ludicrous measure are Husson,
Democrat, and Huiings, Republican, botli
of Venango county, with Lee, Senator,
from the same neighborhood, as their
henchman. Both these worthies are as-pirants
for State Treasurer; Hasson, on
the Democratic ticket, and Hillings on
the . Republican ticket. Hence they
must cut crazy antics to bring themselves
into notice.

Law Versus <»o*pel.
At tlio Chester, Eng., Police Court, a
laborer named Thomas Morris was sum-moned
for neglecting to contribute to
tho support of his children in tho work-house.
Tho relieved officer said tho de-fendant’s
six children were admitted to
tiie poorhotise in -September, Morgan
agreeing to pay ten shillings weekly to
their support. Up to tlio present time
ho had only paid fourteen shillings. His
wife was in nn asylum. Moran said that
a fortnight after the children entered
tiie house lie was laid up ton weeks from
an accident. When he got better, frost
set in, and lie got no work fur thirteen
weeks. After that, ho got five days’
work weekly, nnd when in full work his
wages wore but a pound a week. The
long illness made a debt that had to be
paid, and ho had paid the guardians all
ho could. An entry in tlio police book
showed that Moran was carried to the
infimary on a stretcher in September.
Notwithstanding this, the magistrates
sentenced tiie “prisoner” to a mouth’s
hard labor. The defendant bust out
crying, exclaiming: “Fur God’s sake,
gentlemen, give mo a chance. I was
nover in prison. If you send me I’ll lose
my work. If you give me time, I’il pay
all.” He was removed, still appealing
for mercy.
Til© Had Hot oI a Montana Man.
From tho Salt Lake Tribune.
During tiie last cold spell, while the
thermometer was 25° below zero, a trav-eler
offered to bet $100 that nobody
would ascend the top of a mountain on
Big Hole, which was about 1,200 feet
above the river, the winner to ascend it
with nothing on but a pair of boots.
The bet was accepted, and a young rail-road
man named Fairehand held tiie
wager. The Montana man started, ab-solutely
naked above his rubber boots, a
whiskey bottle in his left hand, and a
twig of long-leaved pine in tiie other
A rousing applause of the crowd of spec-tators
greeted the hero when lie reached
the top, and, after that, while lie came
on the jump hack. He was speedy, in-deed.
His face was red-hot from the
empty whiskey bottle, Iris back scarred
by scouring himself with tlio pine twig,
and tiie uncovered parts of his legs were
blue with chilliness.
The traveler, apparently confounded,
skipped out, leaving his stake, which
was recognized tiie other day as a nice
$100 counterfeit kill.
MADE INSANE BY HIS EXILE.
Tli* Mndnm of TNCIICrny»<->ienklj at the
Kml of 10 Venn In Siberia.
The New York VolksY.ietuug has In-
(brination that Nieholia Spnskutr, u Rut-sian
refugee who arrived nt Vienna re-cently,
reports that Tscltornyschowskij,
110 Russian author who lias been fur
nineteen years an exile, lias boon insane
since the beginning of the your. When
Spuskoff saw him lie was confined at
Wilujsk, in tho Government of Irkutsk.
Ila was raving mad. Tsbhernyschewsklj
was banished fur writing tlio romance
“Sclito Djelntj.” The ceremony following
up his sentence is thus described by un
eyewitness:
‘ It was on Mny 20. 1 SGI. A large crowd
was hurrying to tiie Kasnn place at St.
Petersburg, whore a scaffold was erected,
guarded by a detachment of soldiery.
From faraway I could seo tho pillory,
overtopping the scaffold and the sur-rounding
crowd, From tho Kasnn stee-ple
the dock struck nine, and at. the
same time from a small alley leading to
tho Kiisnn place a cart issued; jt was
painted black and accompanied by two
gendarmes. Tho cart made its way
through the crowd toward tho scaffold.
Two men descended from it, ono of
whom was an officer, the other a civi-lian,
who looked very pale. The officer
beckoned tho civilian to mount thu
Scaffold. The pale limn obeyed. Mo was
received upon the scaffold by two men,
who were standing near the pillory;
they wore red shirts and red caps, and
were tho helpers of tho hangman. One
of them hung a blackboard about thu
neck of the [tale man. In white letters
these two words were painted on the
blackboard: “Gossudarstwonnyj Brest-upnik”
—State Criminal. This was, then,
the official title of N. G. Tnclrerhyschew-skij,
tlio beloved of Russia’s youth ! The
officer took from his pocket a paper and
commenced reading llio aontnnee of the
court, selling forth that thu Honorable
Conned lor Tschernyseliewskij had been
condemned to servo fourteen years at
hard labor in the mines for having issu-ed
nnd circulated socialistic literature;
and that, having served his term, tie
would he banished for life to Siberia.
Having finished tiro reading, theofiicer
commanded the prisoner to kneel. He
bent his knees and (Iron two thin swords
were hiokon over his head, which was
to signify that lie was now divested of
his title, Ids honors, his citizen's rights
for all tiino to come. At this mo-ment
a beautiful bouquet was thrown to
tho ’dishonored’ man of letters; a show
or of bouquets and (lowers followed from
all sides.
From tiie scaffold ho was hurried di-rectly
to Siberia, where lie was compel-led
to work in tlio mines, under the con-tinual
torture of the knot and of mental
and physical deprivations. After those
soven years of anguish lie was sent from
ono prison to another until they drove
him crazy.

"THEM” OR “THOSE.”
A Little (ii-nimiinHdil Mettled In
'J ln e* Minute*.
A few clays ttgo a ilanli young man
from mi Pastern college arri vo.l at Tomb
stone, Ari,, and registered his name at
llio principal hotel. A socially indinod
person in hluo shirt and wide-brimmed
hat, who chanced to ho in tho olUce, good
naturodly unnwered every quostion and
volunteered a vast amount of Interesting
about Arizona in general nuclTombstone
in particular.
“Bo you see thorn hills over yonder?”
ho asked. “Well them hills is full of
pay dirt.”
The young man from tlio East looked
shocked.
‘‘M v dear sir” ho said proudly, but
kindly, “yon should say those hills are’
—‘not ‘thorn hills is.’ ”
The Tombstonor was silent for 11 mo-ment.
Ho looked tlio young man from
tlio oast critically over, as if ho was esti-mating
what alas coffin ho would wear.
Thou drawbig an ivory handled six-shooter
of elaborate stylo and finish, ho
said in si soft, mild, musical tone of voice
that sounded like a wild wood brook
coursing o’er its pohblod bod;
wMygontlo, unsaltod tenderfoot from
tho land of Mia rising sun, this bore’s a
pint that you and me disagrees on,
and might as woll bo settled right now.
I haven’t looked in a grammar lately,
but J say ‘thorn hills is,’ is oorioet, and
I’m going to stand by tiiat opinion whilo
I’ve,got a shot loft. I’ll give you just
three minutes to think calmly over tho
subject, for you probable spoke in haste
tlio first time, and then I’ll hoar your
decision.”
The young man from tho East looked
down tho delicately chased barrel of the
revolver into tho placid depths of tlio
03*0 of the Toinhstonor, and began to
feel that many points in grammar are
uncertain and liable to grow more so.
Then ho thought of tho coroner's inquest
and of the vonlict, “Game to his death by
standing In front of Colorado Tom’s sev-on-
sbooter,” and of tho long pin© box
going East by express with $09 charges
on it, and before half tho three m nute<
was up he was ready to acknowledged
his error. “Sinco ho had thought it over
calmly,” ho said ho believed that ‘them
hi.ls is’ wts light. He had spoken on
thespur of the moment,” he added, “and
bogged a thousand pardons for his pre-sumptuous
effort to substitute bad gram-mar
for good.”
Tlio Tombstoner forgave him freely,
and, grasping his hand, said:
“I knowed 3’ou’d say you was wrong
after you thought a moment* I vdmire
a man who gives right iti without argu-ing
when he knows he’s wrong. Come
along and irrigate.” And they irrigat-ed.—

A FiUKfiaoor PAINT.
Attention was njxt turned to tho mer-its
of the tire-prof naint. A small
wooden building Ind been erected, the
walls of which wn painted inside and
out with the tiiaprul and the r mf cover
ered with the |iF60tor's so-called in-coinhustihle
roolnj. The building was
filled about lldr* fdl of wood ami sh v
itigs saturated wlti petroleum, and the
torch applied. 7b< brisk wind that re
vailed roon famrdthe flames into a ir
naco-liko blaze flia poured through he
windows in a mist furious manner. \n
ordinary building »f this size would ! ve
been entirely coisumed in five or fen
minutes; so hotly did it burn that 1
found it uncoinkirahlo to etand within
a couple of rods (if;he fire.
It took twenty minutes however be-fore
w e could sib lie inside walls begin
to char and, w hit was more striking, at
that time the oijtsde of the building was
so e^l that one intild hold one’s Umd
on it without feeing more than a pleas-ant
warmth. TIeroofat no time cm(ghl

ITS COST,
Tire question of oost is naturally an/n>

formed that the paint will be no nr>ie
expensive than oil. The charge is tor
seventeen pfennigs (about four cents p.r
square metre, four soats being requhd
for real safety. As to durability, the&i-tipyrogene
is warranted to retain itsvir-
'he for three years, whilo the invoittr

to tire effeetsof weather, will last forevtr.

D.,Stauffer went out to catch tlio coon.
They ran into tlioir game close hy Rob-inson’s

and escaped. The officers after waiting
some time returned to town, bringing
along the bundle which contained quite
an assortment of wearing apparel which
Constablo Cooper will keep until he
catches the owner.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
IIow It I. Progressing—The Numerous
Plans Suggested for It.Completion.
The Washington monument is now
340 feet high ; by next November it will
be 450 feet high. The work of laying
the largo marble blocks will begin again
at the end of Hie present month. This
year tho marble comes from tlio Leo
quarries of Massachusetts; last year it
came from Baltimore county, Maryland.
The work of tho engineers in charge will
be finished some time in the fa' 1 of 18S4,
when Hie monument will bo 555 foot
high. This will include a pyramid ed
fifty-five feet high, which is precisely tlio
width of the monument nt its base. It
is one of the interesting features of this
monument ttiat it tapers so gradually
that when it shall have reached its great
height its width nt tho top will be only
13J teet loss tliun nt tho bottom.
Now that tho column linn grown so
high, it is beginning to be interesting.
It is noticeable thnt not only visitors,
hut tho people who livo there, and who
have watched the growth of the shaft
day after day, are beginning to talk about,
it with respect. Ono no longer hears the
jokes that were cracked nt its expense
wlion it was a stubby pile of stones, wait-ing
for Col. Casey to put under it ids
great buttresses, which have given it its
proper foundations. Then all tlio archi-tects
of the country, who lmd no special
fitness fur that kind of work, used to
send suggestions to Rutherford II. Hayes,
until tlio walls of (’apt. Davis’ office were
covered with designs unique enough to
embellish a chapter in the history of
caricature. The into Clark Mills wanted
to round off’tlie column and set it on a
platform, on which lie could sot a group
of liis peculiarly constructed cart horses,
mounted by somo of liis human effigies.
Mr. Larkin Maade wanted to insert in
the sides of the monument four bronze
plaques representing scones in Washing-ton's
life. Uon. Meigs wanted to put on
top a sort of campanile or lantern, which
looks like a cupola witii windows, being
a roof supported by small columns,
(Iroonongh’s statue of Washington was
to be put inside this edifice. Other peo-ple
wanted to make the monument look
like a piece of a church or n part of a
factory. Almost every one thoughtsome
kind of decoration necessary.
Fortunately, Capt. Davis, who has
charge of tlio construction, is a man of
fine taste and of large learning on tlio
subject of obelisks. Ho lias worked on
the theory that size and dignity arc tlio
essential elements of to large a structure.
Thsrefore lie objects to anything but the
sevorost simplicity. He believes that
there should be nothing but a graceful
massiveness in (he column ; that there
should certainly be no decoration that
would take the attonlion from tlio size
of the shaft and require ch>so observa-tion.
So fur only one piece of ornamen-tation
lias crept in ; it is the vulture
wings and the scorpion over tlio door-way,
tlio Egyptian symbol of immortal-ity.
He would have oven this replaced
with a straight-, plain band. The engin-eers
hope that Congress will permit them
to finish the monument with a plain
pyramidioid. It will then be a very im-posing
mass; for even now, when it is
more than 200 feet short of completion,
it is very impressive. One sees it miles
away down the Potomac, and it towers
above everything in its neighborhood.
Arlington Heights make a fine back-ground
for it, and it shows up against
them splendidly.
The question to be settled after tlie
column shall be completed is in regard
to the finish of the approach. There is
now a high earth terrace around the
base. One plan is to build about this a
supporting wall, making an esplanade,
and guarding it with a stone balustfSde.
In the center of each of the four sides is
to be a staircase as beautiful as art can
make it, and on the esplanade groups of
statues, The objection to this is its lack
of simplicity, Capt. Davis wants liis se-vere
shaft to riso soverely from the
ground. lie does not want tlie simple
massiveness of the monument spoiled by
gorgeous stairways. His idea is thnt the
ground should fall away from the column
in undulating slopes, and that the ap-proach
