A BLOCK ADE.-Gen. WALKER publishes in

A BLOCK ADE.-Gen. WALKER publishes in
late number of his official organ (El Mica
ragucnse) two dccrecs-one withdrawing the
ercq,,utur granted to THOMAS MANNING as
Vice Consul of Great Britain in Nicaragua;
the other declaring a blockade Of all the ports
of Central America Oh the waters of the Pa
clic and Atlantic oceans, with the exception
of the inter oceanic transit route via San Juan
del Norte and San Juan del Sur. The reason
assigned for the blockade is that the States of
Guatemala. San Salvador, Honduras, and
Costa Rica are now allied in hostilitics against
the existing Government Of the Republic of
Nicaragua.
The public will be curious to know how
this blockade is to be enforced. The whole
naval force of the Government of Nicaragua,
as far as we can learn, consists of the schoon-
or Granada under the command of Lieut..
Faysoux. She sailed from San Juan del Sur
on the 9th of July, and is said to be the first
armed vessel sent to sea by the Nicaraguan
Government. This is the commencement OF
its navy.

FORCING AND LIFTING PUMP

TNlllSPUMP has advantages Ovcrany other
L in use in several particulars. Its action
is such that the water is constantly rushing
forward III the Same direction, without re-
action in the cylinder, whether the piston
rod moves up or down, by which great
amount of powcris saved, and more water
passed through q cylinder of the same ca
pacity than by those where the water is first
drawn into the cylinder. aud then suddenly
reacted and forced out, difference about as
great as that bciwten keeping a lrugon, heariiy
toaded, in motion uhcn sioricd, aud soppiag and
starting crcry rod. 1t is more simple in its
arrangement. There are but two ruires in
the Pump, both of which are connected with
pstons, which, together with the valves, may
be easily removed and repaired by any one
who can turn screw or cut piece Of leather
to given shape; thus it will be seen that we
have Il Doublc-Acting Forcing and Lifting
Pump, with no more machinery or liability to
get out of order than the Single Acting Lift
ing Pump. Another great advantage of this
Pump is, that the pistons are always under
water, by its popularity Of action, ana no
air can consequently pass them; it does'not
depend on a stulling box to form vacuum
either way, for though ono is used in the
forcing form in this Pump, the pressure is
always outward, and the air can be no pos
sunny ~ III, anu u "'ii '"i'. ""''i "t po'hi
motions of the rod, whether the top of the
cylinder is open or not, it is therefore a
superior Double-Acting Lifting as well as
Forcing Pump. All experience las shown
the great difficulty of keeping either stuffing
boxes or pistons, which are constantly wear
ing, so tight as to prevent the admission OF
air, and il is well known that leak which
will not let out water enough to injurc the
action of the Pump, will let in air enough
to destroy it. 1T may, therefore, be laid
down as a fixed rule that all Pumps, Deepen
dent for their action on stufling boxes, or ON
pistons or plungcrs exposed to the air, are,
from this very arrangement, liable to get ont
of order; all of these difficulties are entirely
removed from the one we now have the
pleasure of offering to the public. For sale

TIoNAL CAPITOL AND IT'S CosT' An immens,
sum of money is likely to BE- expended upor
the National Capitol at Washington. before
its entire conpletioE.-The extension of the
building was commenced on the 4th of July,
1881, and at that time the estimate for The
two wings was 50 GOO 00.-Bu already
more than $500, 900 have been expended
and the work is by no means completed. II
is now ascer AIMED, that the dome alone will
cost 81 800 900. It's length will be over a
hundred feet, its breadth $50, and its height
| from the foundation to the pinnacle of the
dome, 800. Capt. Mcgs, the Engineer in
charge of the work, gives the cost of each
window, at $3.50. The original estimate
was $500.
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 Mcigs
replies, the design and plaster casts will cost
$4,000 the door, if cast and chased in the Mu-
mich foundry $1,000; freight, say $500; total,
say $4,000. IfeXecutcd in this country, the
cost of the bronze will probaly somewhat
greater. The door which will separate the
old Representative chamber from the corridor
of entrance into the South wing and the new
Representative chamber will be of bronze
The design and modelling will cost at SS0OO
the bronze work is estimated at S62l6: total
Sl4.4l6. Thus of the Baptsts of Florence by
Ghibnst, the most perfect and the most ccle-
bratcd in the world, are entirely of bronze,
and it is proposed to follow this the most per-
feet eXamplcd.
Mr. Crawford has been paid for the designs
and models of the last pedimcnt. North wing
and of the figures to go over the East door of
that wing. fourteen figures and accessories,
$4,000. lie is to receive for the designs
and modes of the Eastern door. North wing,
$4,000 Eastern door, South wing. $4,000: de-
sign and model to crown the new dome of the
Capitol, $1,000; total for fifteen figures and
two doors, $4,000.
Mr.. Randolph 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, $4,000. Mr. Butler is to receive
for the design and models for the Senate re-
ceiving room, $500, 1t is to he executed in
bronze and marble here
The floors are alse expensive. Some of
those contained within the building probably
cost more than comfortable private mansion.
The Committee rooms will be finished in an
admirable manner. The walls of some of
them are finished and decorated with paint
ings in frcsco. That Of the Committee of Ag-
riculture has been some time in use. The de-
signs with which its walls and ceiling are COW
cred, as well as the manner of their cxecu-
ton, it is said have been greatly and deseiv-
eddy admired.
The reader, from the foregoing facts, may
form some idea of the way in which the mon
