Monument has been hid and the monument j. sow
two hundred feet high. The remainder Of the

one of the most splendid we nave ever seen. The
ascent is effected by a spiral staircase within
the inside il almost perfectly dark and a lantern is
necessary to explore its wndnss with safety and
comfort. 4 national salute Of one hundred guns
