GAS Explosion at the Capitol.

About half-past two 2. NJ, to-day the
inmates Of the Capital building were
greatly startled by an explosion, which
took place in the basement of the build
ing, which shook the entire portion Of
the old Capitol building to its foundation.
An an examination showed that gas
main under the centre of the dome, in
what is known as the Washington crypt,
had burst with terrible force, blowing out
all the heavy frame work surrounding it,
tearing the dSrs and frames and win
dows to splinter, and scattering the frag-
ments through the basement passages in
all directions. The effect Of the explo-
sion was such as to create serious alarm
for a time for the safety Of the building,
which, however, was allayed by the
prompt manner which the officers and
laborers ab6ut the place took to prevent
the spread of fire Washington Er.

There is too much lying. On every

ocation, deception. We call it all lying,
aud every man or woman who varies one

indeed liar. The expressman agrees
most solemnly to deliver trunk for you
at certain place by certain hour. io
delivers it the day after it is promised,
and thus lies. The grocer promises to
send you the best tea in the market. He
takes the first his hand falls upon, with
out any care for the quality, and dis
patches it to you without twinge. lie
is liar. The tailor agrees to deliver
a suit of clothes without any fail by siS
in the evening. You get them in tho

An auctioneer tells you that certain

bootmaker lies about your boots. The
ieweler lies about your watch. Tho
gossiper at the dinner table tells exag-
gerated stories to astonish the ladies, and
is nothing else than liar. The florist
assures you that his flowers were picked

An Essn ON WIaders.


1t is with much pcrterbity of mind
that | approach the subjeck matter of
this essa, owing to my non-expericnce in
the widdcr line. I'm pcrfeckly at homo
with emmy other class of femail wimmin
oeptin these.
The airiiest warnin / ever reserved
from my mayternal payrent when L put
on my fust long-tailcd cote and standing
koller, was Ichabud, look ont for the
widders." So l always kept my eye
peeled for 'em, and ! amt got over the
habbit yit, so much so that Sally Maria
sez I'm a moddle husband in respeck to
widders, and she can trust me out o. mites.
This much explanes my POSSESSION on
the widder question.
Widders range under different heds
Fustiy, war v;dders secundly, lone
widders; thurdly, grass widders; and
forthly, Kaliforny dittos. There was a
sort called Kanerday widders, but their
husbands cum home last summer, so they
amt much widdery now-none to speak
on. Some widders are the sort what
keep bordin-h -howses and talk in young
men and ole bachelors at so much O
week, includin S1ndas. They ginnerally
have more or less yung and aonmarried
darters, in sootabul condishion for takir
the vows of Himen onto EN-.
War widders have been very common
late times, tho [ karnt say much fol
their consistency. But menny of en
have been very industrious and have ad
ded muchly to the popperlation of thC
country while their husbuns was gone
down South.
Grass widders are the kind what dom
ware morening and are very easy to gi
acquainted with. Furthermore depon
ent saith not.
/ But the Kaliforny widder is the big
gest thing in the hole lot. Sumtime
she's married and sumtimes she ain t
jest as it happens.
If she axidently gifts splieed her hus
bun usually goes to the solt springs, anc
| dies for his helth, or else on forril
tower and never turns up agin on thi
side of terry frmy.
In either case she's jest the same, ollu
a smilin, and wares weeds or ribbins
jest which takes best. She's sum for
time and never lax for words to tori
with. She's dangerous animile TO b.
round where there's fellers with susepti
bul harts under their weskits, cause ,sh
noes jest how to do it, havin ben ther
and back sevural times.
This variety of widders is well dis
tributed over the country, butt is foun'
in the greatest quantity and state of per
fexion WHARF there's the most greenhax
fotin round. Ilouldn't advise felle
to git one on ON unless he's struck il
pretty deep, or else sees a good chance I
make a draft onto a bank or sum sic
financial operation. In those cases
might pay but it's rather risky.
| might extend my remarks on tn
widder toppic ad in definitely, becase it
bare it, but allus believed in feller
stoppin torking when he haint got moth
in more to say. Yours as usele,

FROM THE FAR WEsT-THE Echo.
Scarcely has the triumphant shout of

Kentucky strikes the key note of the

chord, responding in signal Democrat

State will join in the chorus, until, on
the first Tuesday in November, the grand
swelling anthem will gladden. the hearts
