Capitol.
The iron stove which stands in a
corner of the rOtunda of the Capitol OF
Virginia is almost as familiar TO visitors
and HaJitUes as HoudOn's Washington,
with its tasselless cane; ana, IN cold
weather particularly, the venerable
stove is more an object of attraction
than the marble colduess of the sym
metrical statue. OF course we believe
that everything that we have, hold,
and possess, Is the finest, best, and most
appropriate, and its hard for US, with
our nineteenth-centuryn notions OF pro-
gress and refinement, to credit those
things which we consider to be so old
fashioned and incomplete were once
Esteemed as masterpieces Of domestic
art. The history OF the stove in the
rotunda is somewhat remarkable and
extremely interesting, and we find
that it warmed the Halls Of the House
of Burgesses at Williamsburg for abou
sixty years before it was removed,
some thirty years sgo, to the place in
the central hall which it now holds
1t bears the British arms and other
embellishments in relief, and in spite
OF the influence of republican soil and
republican institutions, the emblems
of royalty are still in q state of good
preservation. The founder" Of the
stove, an Italian named BuZagho, con-
sidered his work the ne plus altra Of
stove making, and when it was shipped
from London he wrote as follows to
Lord Botetourt then Governor OF Vir-
ginia, under the date of August 18th,

The elegance of workmanship does
honor to Great Britain 1t excels IN
grandeur anything ever seen of the
kind, and is a masterpiece not to be
equalled in all Europe 1t has met with
general applause, and could not be
sufficiently admired.
This rapturous praise may seem to
US over-strained, but il is doubtful
whether even the most improved patent
stove of the present day could be used
for ninety years, and still remain in
sound and serviceable condition. The
warming machine, as Buzaglio calls it,
which has preserved his name to an ad-
mrlng pOsterity, was presented TO

Curious Memorial Tablet 10 hssh-
ingtOn and LiacOln--TwO Millions
of Sea Shell in Single Work.
A work of art, unique and most curl
Gus, Is now TO be seen at q jeWelry store
in this city. In fact, it is so far out of
the liue OF inventive undertakings that
it is difficult to even give it a name.
1t may, perhaps, be called a Dual Nor
tuary Memorial, being a miniature
monument TO those two Presidents OF
the United States, about whom the
world says the most, and whose memo
ry is most loved by the people-Wash-
ington and Lincoln The structure Is
ten feet high and is a compound Of the
obelisk, the tablet, the sarcophagus,
the shrine, the urn, the column, and
every other known device for perpetu-
asing the memory Of the dead. The
material of this curious monument is
as unusual Is its design is unique, it
being composed entirely Of sea shells.
The shells are almost infinite in variety,
aud are OF almost every possible shade OF
every imaginable color, from the purest
and pearliest white to the darkest and
densest black-every tinge of blue, red,
yellow, orange, violet, green, purple; ali
the rainbow dyes, in fact, and scores Of
others that were DeYer seen in any rain
bow ever yet invented. Every varia-
ton of green from the sea, and Of blue
from the sky, with all the lines with
which the Summer clouds are painted,
are reproduced in the thousand tints
and tinges of these dainty shells.
Painted bV the same master-hand that
colors the summer evening skies, these
delicate shells are most gloTiously beau
nful, and no amount of familiarity can
breed contempt, nor can custom stale
their Infinite variety. And while their
scale of color ranges through the whole
chromatic gsmut, from lily white, or
silVery cleaning, or diamond trans
parency TO swartest black, or duliest
inkiness or murkiest brown, their won
derful diversity OF form and mold is as
noticeable as their never ending va
riety and color. Scrolls and spirals,
scollaps and pyramids are here; they
are futed and carved and turned and
twisted, and wrought into every. lmag-
Unable form Of grace, elegance and
beauty. Then, too, there is sea sand
OF almost as many colors, as the shells
themselves display, aud all cemented
together to make strikingly Deutiful
memorial
AT about three feet from the base
there is Grecian temple supported by
pillars, which sustain dome On the
floor Of this temple rests a sarcophagus,
on the lid Of which is wrought IN curl
ously colored shells the American flag
and on the sides are the shield and 9TH
er appropriate ornaments.
Above this the structure assumes the
form of the obelisk, and rises To the
hight of ten feet from the ground, the
whole being surmounted by the golden
eagle resting Oh globe Fine photo
graphs of Lincoln and Washington are
also displayed in appropriate shield
shaped receptacles oh the sides of the
shaft
On the whole the work is exceeding
curious, there having been used in its
construction more than two millions OF
the most gayly-colored tropical sea
shells, from the size OF "a grain oi wheat
10 those a foot long.

The Spanish Chilli WaT-SPeedY
Peace Probable

The extraordinary suicide Of Admi-
raj PAREJA, commanding the Spanish
squadron dispatched TO demand repair
ation for alleged wrongs from the gov
ernment OF Santiago, and in case Of re
fusaI to declare war and blockade the
ports of Chilli, receives a partial expla-
nation in 8 letter which he wrote 10 a
friend in Europe Immediately before
he took his own life. 1t was supposed
at first that he committed suicide be-
cause of the capture Of one OF the vessels
of his squadron by the Chilians, and
possibly this may have had its effect
upon him. His high Castilian blood
would bring home the reproach of
such a disaster with peculiar force. But
il would appear from his letter that
the consciousness OF having been in
strumental in mitigating hostile pro
ceeding5 on the part Of spain, and OF
summarily bringing on war between
that power and the republic CT Chill,
weighed heavily upon his mind and
induced him, as the speediest way out
the dihculty, to take his life. In his
letter dated at Valparaiso, in Noyem-
Der, be saws: The errors Of judy
ment, and not of will, with which l
have, unfortunately, misguided the Gov
ernment OF my Queen, can not have
any other expiation | have been pre-
JUDGED and unjust towards TAvIRA. Re
quest him to pardon me. He did
know this Republic better than any
one else, and his advice and proceed
ings were safe and sound. 1t is tie IN
tereSt5 Of oar country to embrace tie first
moment to make peace Nth ChlH.
This letter Of the deceased Admiral
comes out opportunely to assist the
efforts of England and France to arbl-
trate between the two powers at war
and conclude q satisfactory peace. with
the Judgment of the civilized world
against her, and the parting advice Of
the man chiefly instrumental IN ex-
citing the Spanish Government 10 60
to war with the small but prosperous
Republic OF Chill, it is hardly probable
that Her Catholic Majesty will persist
in hostilities. There was no caS1As telli,
and even if there was an aggressive
war waged against a people upon sheer
assumptions, it is the var which spain
has commenced, and in the prose3u-
ton of which she stands without the
sympathy of any enlightened power
Domestic troubles, and the fact that
Peru has made common cause with
Chill, will also operate favorbly for an
early and advantageous peace to the
gallant Republic OF South America -

Before the American war this coun-
try supplied 8, 100000 bales out of the
( Dos. 900 delivered for consumption in
all Europe, or more than three-quar-
ters. The cutting OFF Of this supply by the
war, and the very high prices that pre-
vailed for FIVE years, simulated for
eign production to the utmost We
look to the results for evidence Of the
ability of foreign countries to compete
with our production. Four countries
were lookd to for the new supply-the
East Indies, Brazil, West Indies and
the Mediterranean country. In the
East Indies special efforts were made
to extend the culture, which increased
from delivery in Europe of $4,000
bales Of 400 pounds in lS60-which
was the production under the old or
der Of things-to !, ,258, 600 in 1868; J.
COZ, 900 in 1864, and declined to 1920
0JO in 1865.
There are other signs that the increase
in that country has eliminated, even
IN the face of the high prices OF last
year. Ia the Presidency Of Madras
there were on the 3lst OF October only
93I,72 acres of cotton under cultivs-
iion, against 1905, 800 acres the year
before, From Egyptsnd Syria the I'M
ports were ljS,UOO IN 800 and S37 900
IN 1865, with strong symptoms Of de-
cline in production.
Brazil has disappointed the great ex.
peetations based on her. Her delivery
In Europe was 10000 bales in 1860,
and $4,000 in 1865. Expectations of
any supply from China and Japan
have been abandoned
Even at the high prices of several
years past the foreign production of cot
ton appears to have eliminated. 1t is
evident that America Will still control
the markets oil the world, even at
much higher prices than prevailed be-
fore the war, and that moderate tax
on exported cotton would collect so
much from the world at large to help
our finances. Our idea of moderate
tax would be FIVE cents pound. This,
on an export of three and a-hslf mil
liou bales-which We exceeded in 1860
would give seventy millions of reye-
uue to apply 10 the war debt

The Value Of a Lady

The Value Of a Lady's Wardrobe.
An interesting jury trial is now in
progress in Cincinnati The action was
brought by Mrs Jane l. Long against
the steamboat General Buell. The
plaintiff sought to recover the value of
two trunks and their contents, which
were shipped at Louisville, September
5, 1865, TO be delivered at Cincinnati.
The action was originally brought in
the name of her husband, General Eli
Long. but the articles being the per
sonal property OF his wife, the petition
was amended.
On the part Of the defence it was
claimed the boat was not liable on the
ground that the loss was occasiOned by
an act of God and also, that the trunk
contained jewelry and articles Of silver
ware, of which no notice was given 10
the officers of the boat and for which
no freight was paid
The plaintiff replies that the trunk
contained articles that were legitimate
! ly belonging to a lady's wardrobe.
The defendants counsel read list
Of the articles contained in one Of the
trunks.

ROwdy Conduct orYaIe students.

One would suppose that yesterday
being q day Of prayer among the col
leges, the students of Yale would have
refrained from disgracingi it. 1t seems
however, they did not, but engaged N
another squabble for Freshmans bea-
yer hat. A Freshman passing up Church
street with the obnoxious article
on his head was met by q few Sopn-
mores, who demanded that he shonld
take the middle of the street or remove
the tile. lie asserted his right OF
way, and got his hat smashed IN the
melee that occurred. Afterward the
manly sport WAS renewed on the corner
of High and Chapel streets, where the
representatives of both classes were
present in considerable force. 1t was
continued until the announcement oi
the coming Of members of the faculty
put them to hight-the net result OF the
affair being that one fellow got his face
badly scratched, one his head cat open
on the curb-stone, several their ward
robes more or Less damaged, and we pre-
sumo few noted as victims for suspen
sion OF expulsion.-Ns10 HEgen J0ornal
