The Way the Money Goes---The National
 CaDitOl and its Cost

!
 Capitol and its Cost.
 An immense sum of money is likely to be expended upon the national capitol at Washing ton, before its entire completion. The exten- sion of the building was commenced on the 4th of July, 1851 and at that time the esti- mate for the two wings was S2,6OO,OOO But already more than S3,5OO,OOO have been ex- pended and the work is by no means complet- ed Itis now ascertainetthat the dome alone will cost S1, ,5OO,OOO The plan comprises a truly magnificent edifce. Its length will be over a hundred feet, it's breadth 25O, and its height from the foundation to the pinace of the dome $50. Capt. Meigs, the engineer in charge of the work gives the cost of each window, at 1859. The original estimate was S822.
 In answer to the question, how much are the plaster casts for the bronze front door to cost, and how much will be the cost of the doors to be executed from them? Capt. Meigs replies the design and plaster casts will cost S6,OOO; the door, if cast and chased in the Munich foundry, S7,OOO freight, say S2OO; to- tai, say $13,2OO. If executed in this country the cost of the bronze will probably be some- what greater The door which will separate the old representative chamber from the corl- dor of entrance into the south wing and the new representative chamber will be of bronze. The design and modelling will cost $8, 900; the bronze work is estimated at $6,216; total, $14,416. Those of the Baptista Florence, by Ghibuts, the most perfect and the most cele- brated in the world, are entirely of bronze, and it is proposed to follow this the most per feet example.
 MT. Crawford has been paid for the designs and models of the last pediment, north wing, and of the figures to go over the east door of that wing, fourteen figures and accessories, S2O,OOO He is to receive for the designs and models of the eastern door, north wing, $6,OOO; eastern door. south wing $6,OOO; design and model to crown the new dome of the capitol, S3,OOO total for fifteen figures and two doors, $35,OOO
 MT. Ranpolph Rogers is to receive for the design and model of one large door, the model to be executed in Italy, and the castings in this country, $S,OOO. MT. Butler is to receive for the design and models for a mantel for the Se- nate receiving room, $500. It is to be execut- ed in bronze and marble here.
 The floors are also expensive. Some of those contained within the building probably cost more than a comfortable private mansion. The committee rooms will be finished in an admirable manner The walls of some of them are finished and decorated with paintings in fresco. That of the committee of agrlcul- ture has been some time in use The designs with which its walls and ceiling are covered, as well as the manner of their execution, 1t IS said have been greatly and deservedly ad- mired.
 The reader, from the foregoing facts, may form some idea of the way in which the mo- ney goes. The truth simply is, that while the treasury at Washington continues full to over- flowing, all sorts of eSpedierts will be resorted to to deplets it. .r

j. A. RHODES, ESQ: Dear Sir-As | took
your medicine to ell on consignment no cure
no pay" L take pleasure in stating its effects as
reported to me by three brothers who live in this
place, and their testimony is a fair specimen of
all | have received:
w. 5. CoNKLIN told me- | had taken nine
bottles OF Christie's Ague Basam, and continual
ly run down while using it until nv lungs and
liver were Congested to that degree that blood
discharged from my mouth and bowels so that
all thought it impossible for me to live through
another Chill The doctors to did all they could
for me, but thought must die. Nothing did me
any good until | got Rhodes Fever and Ague
Cure which at once relieved of the distress
aad nausea at my stomach and pain in my head
and bowels. and produced permanent cure in a
short time.''
H. NJ. CoNKL1N says: t.I had been been ta-
king medicine of good doctor as we have in
our county, and taken any quantity of uuinine
and specifics without any good result, from 25th
August to 18th December But seeing how nice
ly it operated my brother. GOT bottle of
RHODES FEVER AND AGUE CURE. which
effected permanent cure by using two thirds of
a BOTTLE
S. NJ. CoNKLIN was not here, but both the other
brothers say his the same as H. MS |
sold the medicine to both the same day. and the
cure was as speedy from the same small quantity
and might SO specify, Yours with respect,
A. HUNTINGTON.
L ne ABOVE speaks Tor 1tSe1 GOOD proof as 1T
is, 1T is Of no better tenor than the vast number
OF like certificates / have already published. and
the still greater amount that is continually pour

There are several other industrious people who
