SOME FACTS ABOUT THE DONE OF oUa NATIONAL
CApIToL.-The dome of the capitol at Washing
ton is the most ambitious structure in America.
1t is $50 feet higher than the Washington monu-
ment at Baltimore, CO feet higher than the
Bunker hill, and % feet higher than the Trinity
church spire of New York. 1t is the only con-
siderable dome of iron in the world. 1t is a
vast hollow sphere Of iron, weighing 5000, 900
pounds. How much is that? More than 1000
tons. or about the weight Of 10000 fuIl-grown
people, or about equal to thousand laden coal
cars, which, holding four tons apiece, would
reach two miles and half. Directly over your
head is figure in bronze, -4merica weighing
1882 pounds. The pressure of the iron dome
upon its piers and pillars is l8,477 pounds to
the square foot, and St. Genevieve, at Paris,
G5, 900 pounds more. II would require to crush
the supports of our dome pressure of 73o,2So
pounds to the square foot. The cost was about
81 ,OO0, 900. The new wings cost S6,9oo 'ooo.
The architect has plan of rebuilding the oio
central part os the capitol and eniargips the
park which will cost about So, 200, o00.

All peaceful sleep the patient dead;
There kings and slaves, earth's weary ones,
Await tie summons from their bed

With clinging which death has chilled
But silence reIgns iu Neptunes halls,
For hearts are hushed and lips are stilled!
No fattering song, with loving tone,
Bursts from III, lips, dark, treacherous sea-
My heart is trembling with its fear,

A HYMN OF PEACE.
To the music of Keller's American Hymn

To the music of Keller's American Hymn"
DIR. Holmes has written the following
hymn for the Peace Jubilee in Boston:
Angel of Peace, thou hast wandered too longl
Spread thy white wings to the sunshine OF
Lowell
Come while our voices are blended in song -
Fly to our ark like the storm beaten dove
Fly to our ark on the wings of the dove,
Speed DER the far-sounding pillows of song,
Crowned with thine olive-leaf garland of love,
Angel of Peace, thou hast waited too long
Brothers we meet, on this altar of thine,
Mingling the gifts we have gathered for
thee,
Sweet with the odors of myrtle and pine,
Breeze of the prairie and breath of the sea,
Meadow and mountain and forest and sea!
Swest is the fragrance of myrtle and pine,
Sweeter the incense we offer to thee.
Brothers once more round this altar of
thine
Angels of Bethlehem, answer the strain!
Hark a new birth-song is filling the slyl
main,
Bid the full breath of the organ reply
Let the loud tempest of voices reply,
Let the loud tempest of voices reply,
Roll its long surge like the earth-shaking
main,
Swell the vast song till it mounts to the sky
Angels of Bethlehem, echo the strain
