the capstone of the pedestal Of Mr. Clarke Mills's

mancnt place in Lafayette square. 1t is from
Symngton's quarries, near Baltimore, and is
said to be the largest piece of stone of its kind
ever brought to Washington, weighing 10 tons

and difficult, but will probably be completed to-
day.-Natonal InfelHqcncer.

No more sing they sang Of old
To the tones OF the Lutte and Tyre.
For 10! we live in an Iron Age
In the age Of Steam and Fire.
he world is too busy for dreaming.
And hath grown too wise for War;
so, to-day, for the glory of Science,
Let us sing of the Railway Carl
The golden chariots of ancient kings
Would dazzle the wondering eve;
ANA the heads ola million slaves might bow
AS the glittering toy rolled by;
But this is the Car Of Tie Peopie
And before it, shall bow all kings
De they warned when they hear the shriekng
vi the dragon with iron wings
The blood stained Car of the Juppernaut
Ger millions of necks hath rolled
And Its priests have cried, such triumph as ours,
The world shall never behold ~
But wo! when this harnessed Dragon
Comes vomiting smoke and fire.
For the Priests, with their Cars and IDOLS
Shall perish beneath his ire
And wo to all whouphold the wrong
Love darkness rather than light
For Science hath opened broad highway
For knowledge and Truth and Right;
And he sends forth his Car to gather
The people of1nany lands
Until the uttermost nations
Are grasping each others hands!
And thus when the people as one are Joined
And each to his fellow is known,
Invention, and Art and Skill shall work
At the bidding of Science alone.
And who can tell of the greatness
The world may hope for then
For the Faith that moyeth mountains
Hath entered the souls ofmen!
Then sing no more as they sang of old.
10 the tunes of the lutte and lvre
But sound the praise ofthe Iron Age
OF the Age Of Steam and Fire
And sing to the glory of Science
Exut in the downfall ofWar-
And shout for the fiery Dragon
AS he flies with the Railway Car

GREAT FREsHET AND Loss OF PROPERTY
Inc recent flood in the Monongahela river is
said to have been the most destructive which has
ever occurred in that river. The Morgantown
(Va) Mirror says that great distress has been
created among the inhabitants along the river,
many losing their all and barely escaping with life.
The rain commenced falling ON Saturday week,
and on Monday the river rose very fast and con-
tinued to rise until Tuesday morning, when it was
some thirty five feet above the ordinary low water
mark. vast quantity of stray lumber passed
down on Monday, during the nj CHIT several bull
dings including houses, stables, mills &C., oated
past, with speed that utterly forbid an effort to
secure them.
Several small towns in the. counties along the
river have been oyerown to the depth of six or ten
feet, and 1t is said that the town of Wcrthington
In which there was some ten OF fifteen houses has
but three left. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
IS said to have sustained considerable damage
The water on the track, from the point where it
reaches the Valley river, was several feet Deep
and caused good many slips. The total loss to
property must have been very large

intended for their support, consented to its being
paid into the hands of their aged mother who has

daughters, who are in prison. dependent ON her
