The Rotunda Of the Capitol was devoted to
novel purpose on Monday. To give some idea
ofthe exhibition we state that, in the first place,
big block was set up directly over the crypt This
formed the rest for several long pieces of timber,
dashed together, secured by pivot in the centre.
AT one of the ends ofthis beam was large iron
wheel and near the axle a man stood upright.
Beneath his feet was a treadle secured 10 rope,
an end of which was fastened TO cross stay in
the sky.ght AT the other extremity of the hori-
zontal timber, two boys seated themselves as a
balance TO the man at the other extreme-seesaw
fashion. A second man occasionally gave the
beam push. and this caused it TO revolve, the
wheel flying over circular railway around the
floor of the rotunda. The man near the wheel
now and then put his foot on the treadle but we
could not tell whether this part of the business or
the pushing by the confederate produced the velo-
city. Perhaps little ofboth. Hundreds of mem
bers OF Congress and other spectators We're drawn
round the ring TO witness the performances.
Towards four O'Clock, the exhibitors removed
their beam, wheel, railway, and other traps. Not
being scientific. we were unable TO discover the
beneficial results Of the experiments, and there
fore mus, await further developments.

THE NATIONAL 1NrELL1GENcER.

In our article of yesterday, we could not do
full and entire justice to our esteemed friends Of
the National Inteligencer, because we had not
scope and verge enough in our columns. But
we are Just men, and will always try to do JUS
tice as soon as we can and therefore we re-
turn to the subject which we we're forced to
leave unfinished.
In the first place we would most respectfully
invite the attention of the National Intelligent
Ger to the fact that it committed grave error
in its representation Of the Senate vote on the
adoption of the Missouri compromise of 1920.
If that journal will again refer to the record,
it will find that the vote which it publishes
as the vote on the passage of the bill was
the vote on the amendment inserting the
anti-slavery restriction which the Nebraska bill
proposes to repeal, and not the vote given fol
the adoption of the bill itself The truth is
that the anti-savery senators voted to put the re
striction in the bill, and then voted against the
bill on its passage with the restriction in it.
All this the National Intelligencer will find te
be true by reading the l66th and the 18TH
pages of the Senate Journal of ls20-'2l.
The restric ton was made part of the bill
by northern votes being as the Intelligence
enormously represents the votes on the fna'
passage Of the bill to have been. But, wher
the question was put, Is northern and south
ern senators voted in the negative, making &c
in all; whilst 20 southern and 4 northern
senators voted in the affirmative, making "a in

Christian idea of Woman and her sphere.

Christian idea Of Woman and her Sphere
The Rev. w. II. Milburn, the chaplain Of the
House of Representatives, delivered discourse
or lecture on this subject, on Sabbath morning, at
the Capitol from the first and second verses Of the
sixteenth chapter Of Paurs epistle to the Romans.
He eloquently referred to the former condition
of woman, socially. showing that in ancient as in
modern times, among pagans, she is absolutely
the slave, the toy, or the inhabitant Of the harem
with a lord and master. The Jews had the highest
conception of woman in the antique, but even
among them she was excluded from the public
worship in their synagogues, and otherwise re-
stricted as being not entitled to equality with
the sterner sex. He assumed the ground that the
true agency and position of woman will be reeog-
nised and made available in the precise proportion
as society estimates and appreciates the work and
culture of human life.
In this connexion, he showed that her proper
position was that ola "helpmeet," to assuage her
sorrows and 10 render those Offices so peculiarly
fitted to her loving and gentle disposition; in
word, to impart a charm to home. He condemned.
in strong terms the fashionable follies of the day.
in participation which the heart is vitiated
moi improved; and enforced the practice of charity
and benevolence towards the afflicted and the dis
tressed.
The doctrine of Womans Rights, as preached
by certain of the female sex, was emphatcally
condemned while mans injustice to woman was
pointedy and causcally denounced
For more than an hour he deeply interested the
dense audience. While we glanced at the bright
array of fashion and beauty, it occurred to us that
whatever may be the ultimate purpose of two
men" who pirate publicly about their "rights,"
here, in Washington, on at least one day in the
week, women practically occupy the seats Of the
national Legislators; aud, besides, they are not so
laxative and contentious as the male occupants
on other days. Silent members I. ey indeed are,
but not the less to be admired on that account.
An important feature of the exercises was the
melody the Hutchinson family The trio sung
three hymns, including the one of "All is well,
TO a larger audience than greets them at Carusi's
Saloon. They were listened 10 with almost breath
less silence. II was indeed a welcome entertain
ment, and by all appreciated.

Washington's Birthday.-Just hundred
and twenty-five years have passed since the illus
trious founder of American independence was
born. Afiera series Of long and brilliant services
in the field and in the cabinet, towards the close
OF the last century he died, after short illness, at
Mount Vernon; Virginia being his cradle and his
grave.
II is generally admitted fact, not only through
out our own country, but among other enlightened
nations Of the world, that Washington was, with
out exception. the purest. greatest, and best man
with which Heaven ever blessed the earth. Gen
eratons yet unborn will revere his memory
Some years ago, on the occasion of visit to the
time-honored city Of Alexandra, on entering the
museum, small cobwebbed room over the mar
ket-house, we laid our umbrella on what at
glance, appeared to be nothing more than dusty
framework; but we quickly removed it on being
informed that upon that bier was Washington car
ried to his tomb Then thoughts passed through
our mind of the funeral train in the dreary winter,
the retnue of weeping friends, the sounds Of la
meniation and woe, the sable drapery which
clothed the coffia, and all the attendant circum-
stances of his death. The associations of the
die and the grave were wildly presented, when,
turning to the wall we beheld the mantle in which
Washington was christened and which had been
made use of for a similar purpose by other mem
bers of his fathers family.
There, too, was, among other valuable relics,
the first flag captured from the British, at Tren-
ton. 1t was made of double brocade, and bore the
| inscription !" for king and country" In the cen
tire an eagle; in his talons olive branch II was
designated Alpha, in contradistnction TO Omega,
the last flag taken at the surrender of Corvallis
and which was in proximity TO the other-the be-
| ginning and the ending.
II is indeed refreshing to be reminded, more es-
pecally on this returning anniversary of the birth
day Of Washington, of the history of him who
though dead yet speaketh." May his pure and
patriotic example serve beacon-light TO guide
the statesmen ofthese and future times in the path
that leads 10 more exalted national glory
