THE CoLossAL WASHINGTON MONUMENT
The casting Of TIE horse for this monument.
at Munich, is one Of the great feats Of modern
foundry, as fifteen tons Of bronze had to be
melted and kept in q state Of fuidity. For
several days and nights previously large fire
was at these hinge masses, which required to
be stirred at times. When the bronze was
liqui6ed, an ultimate essay was made in O
small trial cast, and to highten the color some
more copper was added. Successfully all the
chambers through which the metal had to
flow in the form we're cleared of the coal with
which they had been kept warm, and the mas
ter examined all the air spiracles and the is
sues of the metal; the props of the tubes
we're then placed, and every man had his duty
and place assigned to him. Finally, the mas
ter, amid the intense expectation Of the many
art ametuers present, pronounced the words
ain the name OF God" and then three nigh
ty strokes opened the fiery gulf out of which
the glowing metal flowed in circuit to the
large FORMS The sight was magnificent, and
in the little sea of fire stood the master, and
gave his commands about the successive
opening of props. Hot vapour poured from
the air spiracles in the conduits, the metal
boiled in waves still, no decision yet, ns the
influx of the bronze in the very veins of the
figure could be but slow AZ once flaming
showers jumped out of the air conduits, and
the master proclaimed the cast to have sue.
ceeded. A loud cheer followed, when the
master approached Mr. Crawford, the artist
of the Washington Monument, to congratu-
late him upon this success. Another cheer
was given to NJ de Miller, the chief of the
royal foundry of Munich, who had personally
conducted the work.-1He Builder.

PRICELESS JEWEL.

Hon. Edward Everett, in his eulogy on the
Late Abbott Lawrence, remarked:
His business life extended over two or
three of those terrible convulsions which
shake the pillars of the commercial world,
but they disturbed in no degree the solid
foundation of his prosperity. He built upon
the adamantine basis of probity; beyond re-
proach, beyond suspicion. His life gave a
lofty meaning to the familiar lines, and you
felt, in his presence, that
"An honest man is The noblest work Of God"
Far from being ashamed of bis humble be-
ginnings, he was proud of them, as the mer-
chant princes of Florence, at the height of
their power, and when they are giving the
law to Italy, preserved upon their palaces
the cranes by which bales of merchandise
were raised to their attics A young gentle
man told me yesterday, at Newport, that two
or three months ago, Mr.. Lawrence took
from his waistcoat pocket, and exhibited in
his presence, pair Of blunt scissors, which
had SERVED him for daily use at the humble
commencement Of his business life. As fol
his personal integrity, Mr.. Chairman, to which
you alluded, ] am persuaded that il the dome
oil the State House, which towers over hi,
residence IN Park street, had been coined In
to diamond, and laid at his feet as the brib,
OF dishonest transactions, he would hay

Congress will assemble next Monday. A
quorum will be present, no doubt, on the first
day, but as the political complexion of the
House is entirely different from any previous
Congress, there may be some difficulty III
electng speaker and organizing for busi-
ness Neither Of the three prominent parties
Of the House, Americans, Democrats and
Wings. have a clear majority, but the Ameri-
cans are decidedly the strongest, and will, no
doubt, succeed in the election of their candi-
date for speaker and clerk. The session
promises to be stormy one, growing out oil
troubles involving the slavery questionable
Kansas and Nebraska elections. Our i'm
preston is that the Kansas election matter
will be settled or cut short by rejecting both
Gov. Reeder and Mr. Whitfield and referring
the matter back to the people These are
the views of such men as Gen. Cass on this
subject, and will be likely to prevail. There
may have been some irregularity in the cleo
tion of Gov Reeder, but there can be no
question that large majority Of the people
of Kansas are favorable to the election of
the Governor and opposed to the introduction
of slavery into the territory. The Presidents
message will not be sent in advance as here
tofore, and il there should be any delay in
organizing Congress, there is no saying when
it will be delivered.

A WOMAN SWIMMING THE MISSISSIPPI
Lloyd's forthcoming Steamboat Directory
gives thrilling instance of the necessity for
women knowing how to swim. When the ill
fated Ben Sherrod was in flames on the Mis-
sissipp River, and the lady passengers who
had thrown themselves into the water were
drowning around the boat, the wife of Cap
tain Castleman jumped into the river, with
her infant in her arms, and swan ashore, a
distance Of half mile, being the only woman
saved out Of sixteen. She had learned TO
swim when girl.
SEVERAL UNFORTUNATE PIGEoNs Shot, AND

a side /; the winner to have the whole twenty
thousand. The trial lasted two days. King
hit l29 birds and missed 2l Duncan hit 1870.
and missed 90, and. of course walked off with
the twenty thousand dollars.

Island Of Fate, in the South Sea, two mission

and eaten by the natives whom they were at
tempting to Christanze. The good cause
seems to be making rather slow progress il
that locality.
