Symmes' Hols"-Its Origin.

Most of our readers have doubtless seen al
lusionS to the theory of Captain Symmcs, who
maintained that the world is hollow, with an
opening at tho poles. 1t created quite as
much excitement at the time as Phillips Fire
Annihilator, or Ericsson's Air Propeller, pro-
duced among the " moderns "
Tho following copy Of one of his circulars
will explain his theory:

A CHIEL AMONG Us fAKIN' NorIs-FAIrH
AND HE HAS PRINTED 'Ek.-The special cor
respondent Of the London Times was at Wash
ingtOn at the adj 1urnment Of the regular s.s
sion OF Congress, and he gives the following
picture as the scene then presented Its in.
terest 70 us Is In seeing ourselves as others see
US:
There would have been less hurry snd
despatch of business in the night sitting that
virtually ended the session Just expired had
1t been foreseen that the indefinite term Of
another wGs so near And that would have
been almost pity, for there was q good deal
of scenic interest in it. The race of IegisIs-
ton, accelerated for some time past, became
a perfect rush, and the work Of weeks was
disposed Of in minutes; all the powers were
highly condensed and in rapid action 1t
law were administered with a fftieth of the
speed with which il can be made, q Chaucery
SUIT that lasted week would be thought slow
L hope no mistakes happened; but should il
be discovered that some bills were passed
twice over 70 balance others not passed at all.
few Of the spectators would be surprised. To
the outsiders il looked very like confusion:
hut perhaps 1t was more in appearance than
In reality. The committees and leaders have
the threads In hand, and the Speaker, Mr.
Banks, was cool, watchful, and self possessed,
the model Of a presiding officer The public
galleries were filed 10 sufocation, though no
party or " campaign" speeches were expected
the time for oratory had passed; it was all
clear and quick voting Above all. the ladies
had gathered in immense force, and their gal
lery was one vast futter Of fans. Consider
ing the stat Of the Thermometer and the
working da- parterre OF gentlemen they
looked dow IN, their presence in such num-
bers was something of a rlddlc. The rotunda.
which divides the - House from the Senate
was the grand promenade Of the night and
would have been almost gay but for the Sc
rious, business-like look Of the men-the ex-
prcssions seen on Change when the funds Gle
capricious and quotations auctuating. Many
eager faces fitted about in the gas light, ar
rested by nothing Of art or nature around
them; others took matters more coOlly, smOk-
ing the time away, having a private under
standing with destiny that made them safe.
Outside, the rays Of a bright southern moon
fell on the white marble pcrticO and terrace
q welcome retreat from the oven-like stmoe-
phere within, whence you looked far through
the summer night, over the mingling foliage
and roofs of the we'll wooded city, to the broad
belt of river beyond il; below, carriages
dashed up and departed, with a louder rattle
than at noon while In the foreground cleaned
the statue Of Washington, directly facing the
windows Of the Capitol, blazing with light at
those unusual hours lie holds his right hand
aloft, in admoniiOn-perhaps to economy, for
the members have just voted themselves an
increase Of pay, and the appropriations of
this session amounts to some $40 0Oo, 900
This is in hard money; but if the value of
the lands granted to railway companies is in
cluded, that sum, il is asserted, might be
nearly doubled.
