MARBLE COLUMNS FOR THE CAPITOL ExTEN-
sIoN,-The Baltimore Sun of this morning
says:
For several years past difficulty has ex-
isted in the Capitol extension work in conse-
quence the suppoSiton that monoliths could
not be obtained from any Of the marble quar-
ries in the United States, and the law re-
quired that they Should be OF native material,
Mr. John T. Connolly, Of this city was awarded
a contract by the Secretary Of War to-furnish
one hundred monolithic columns, and he has
begun the work at the Beaver Dam quarry,
near Cockeysvile, in Baltimore county. Inc
columns are 2511 feet long, 3 feet in dlapeter
at the top. Each column weighs ~ tuns, or
10000 pounds The stone is very WHITE
of fine texture, and very hard, possessing
great strength.
..The mode of quarrying the huge blocks is
bv drilling to the depth of three feet into the
solid rock, the drills only three quarters OF an
inch apart, and the petitions cut out Win
cbisels Below the drills are also made, ana
the rough block is broken off from the rock by
forcing wooden wedges into the drills No
nowder can be used in the work, lest the large
shafts might be shivered. They are got out
of the solid rock and scabbled, in which con-
dltlOn tneN VIII uS ldhSu "
finishing. A railroad has been constructed
from the quarry to connect with the track Of
the Northern Central railway at Cockeysville,
on which they will be transported. There
are a number already detached from the mar
BILE bed, and several more are nearly drilled.
These are the largest monoliths ever quarried
in the United States, and it is said there is no
other quarry from which they can be produced
of equal length and purity of texture. In the
course of two or three weeks those now out
will all be sent to Washington, and Baltimore
county will have the proud boast Of furnish
ing what could not be ATTAINED Elsewhere in
the country.
Yesterday afternoon the first Of these
mammoth columns was brought to the Bolton
depot, and it will be taken over the Howard
street track to the Camden station to-day.
Two trucks are required to bear the immense
weight, and great care is necessary to convey
| it TO the point of destination. Thus far Mr..
Connolly has been entirely successful in get.
ting out the columns, but considerable time
| will vet be required before the whole number
will be completed. The marble is Of the
finest texture, unsurpassed in the country,
and admits of a high polish. These columns
| will form one of the most prominent features
of the capitol extension, and it will be work
of which Maryland may well be proud"

Return of the Jews to Palestine.

To the student of the Bible and church
history there are few current subjects of more
absorbing interest or of deeper significance
than the events, now almost daily Transporting
which point to the repossession by the Jews
of their own land. The tide of progress, af-
ter lapse Of centuries, may be said to have
fairly turned in that direction, and the prayer
long offered by thst chosen but now scattered
people, that Judah may be saved, and Israel
dwell securely, and that the Redeemer may
come to Zion," the Philadelphia Press thinks
is undoubtedly fastening to its fuIfilment.
The Sultan of Turkey is encouraging jew
ish emigration to Palestine, and is offering to
sell them as much land as they choose to buy,
and, it is said, has even expressed his willing
ness to dispose of the Mosque of Omar to
them, which, it will be recollected, stands up
on the very site Of the Jewish Temple of
Mount Moriah. This mosque is one of the
Mohammedan's most celebrated shrines, being
scarcely inferior in national importance to
those OF Mecca and Medina Politicians and
statesmen look upon these indications as le-
climate consequence of the liberalning infu-
ence of Mohammedan in intercourse with
Christians, and so they may be; but, to the
reader of the yet unfultilled pages of Revela-
ton, they also point to what, as it respects the
Jewish nation, prophets and kings" have long
waited for, 'but died without the sight,
That the Mosque of Omar should be in fair
way of passing into the hands of the people
to whose fathers the site on which it stands
was once given in an everlasting covenant, is
what no reader OF secular history fifty years
ago could even have dreamed would ever
come to pass. Some of the hills around Je-
rusalem have already become Jewish proper
ty, and is by no means improbable that some
of the present generation will see the entire
city of Jerusalem again in the hands of its
ancient owners. That mighty revolutions
will follow in the wake of such an event is
probably as certain as that the Jews will re-
turn at all; at all events, affairs in that imme-
date region of the East must ere long be-
come an engrossing theme among the nations
of the earth.

THE GREAT SUPPLY NATION. Recent dis
coveries oi gold and silver in California, Utah,
Oregon and Kansas, It's believed, will increase
the American yearly product to above sixty
and perhaps seventy millions of dollars. Last
year nearly $75.o000oo Considerably more
than the product were sent abroad, besides
four millions Of bales cotton, great quantities
of breadstufs, tobacco, etc. The week before
last million and half in specie. went to Eu-
rope. 1t is estimated that the specie now in
the country amounts to two hundred and
eighty millions of dollars.

DEATH OF THE "BEARDED LADY."-Mrs.
Julia Pastrana, who, some years ago, held
leyees for the curious at Vannuchi's Mu-
scum, is dead. 1t seems that she died short
ly after giving birth to male child, in Mos
COW. The body, having been dissected by
the Professors of the university, was found to
possess all the distinctive signs Of human or
eanization. The beard was merely the effect
Of and extraordinary development of the ca
pillary system. The corpse Of both mother
and offspring will be preserved in the ana
tomical museum of the ancient capital Of
Russia.

EXTRAORDINARY BRTH.-The Albany On.
- Evening Journal says that German wo-
man in that city gave birth, day or two
since, to male twins joined together in most
extraordinary manner They had two heads,
four arms and hands, and two legs In fact
they were perfect, except in some minor de-
tails oft human form. They lived about
two hours after birth, and upon the attending
physician desiring them for preservation, the
father demanded $25 for them, which he did
not obtain.

THE LONDON TINES AND THE RoTHsCHILDs.
1t has recently been proved that the London
Times is mainly owned by the Rothschilds,
ard the fact creates considerable sensation in
London. The statement of Mr. John Walter
NJ. P, in Parliament, that he was not the
principal owner, as well as the course taken
by the Times for many years, proves and
confirms it all. Not one single move on the
political chess board of Europe, that would
have any tendency to injure the securities OF
any nation that were large creditors of the
house of Rothschilds, particularly Austria,
but has been vehenently opposed by the
Times. See the course taken towards Kos
suth, some years ago--a course followed Up
ever since Not one single exposure of Aus.
TRAN tyranny or weakness that has appeared
in the Times for years but will be seen to be
such AS would be dictated by money lender
in Vienna. Some time ago there was q
sleader,' on the disabilities of the Jews in the
Empire of Francis Joseph. 1t is said that
the Goyernment of Austria are creditors to
the house of Rothschild to the amount Of al
least ten millions sterling-a large sum to be
placed in jeopardy by successful revolution
in Hungary, or bad war against Russia OF
France. The direct consequence here has
been that the Times has lost the confidence
and countenance of the business community
as far as such thing can be in the present
condition of the British press and British
politics.

How CONGRESS ELECTS THE PRESIDENT AMI
VICE PREsIDENT.-It may be useful just about
this time, to reproduce the statement the ap-
Proach OF, a Presidential election makes op-
perfume every four years. 1t is thus sue
cintly given by a writer in the New York
Daily Times:
The House of Representatives has nothing
whatever To do with the election of Vice
President, nor the Senate with the election of
a President. The powers of each body are
distinct and entirely independent of the
other.
If no President be chosen by the electors,
the House Of Representatives may choose the
President, their choice being restricted to the
persons having the highest numbers, not eX-
ceeding three on the list of those voted for
for President.
If the Vice President be chosen by the elec-
tors, the Sena shall choose Vice President
from the two highest numbers on the list of
those voted for for Vice President
If the House fails to elect President before
the 4th of March next following, then the
Vice President, whether elected by the cleo
tors or by the Senate, shall act as President.
Inc RUE Vi LHanlllT Ol VOtlng uIIueF W Hlcu
the Senate chooses Vice President, is ex-
actly the reverse Of that Of the House in choos-
ing President-each being the reverse of
the general principle or basis upon which the
respective bodies are organized. The House,
representing the people, and ordinarily votr G
per capita, vote for President by the States,
the representation from eacn State having one
vote, and a majority of all the States being
necessary to a choice. The Senate Represent
ing the States-ln theory, at least, and in the
manner Of electing Senators-vo es for presi-
dent per capita. each Sentor being entitled to
vote, and majority of all the Senators being
necessary to choice.
