The Capitol of New York.

Architecture in America bids fair in many
directions to compete with the architecture
of the old world. We shall never, it is to
be hoped, build pyramids as burial places
for our kings; we shall never initiate the
massive and gloomy temples of Egypt and
India we may never have occasion to copy
those marvellous cathedrals which stand as
witnesses of the Christian zeal and gorgeous
Imagination and marvellous architectural
skill of the middle ages but we are de-
veloping an architecture unique, beautiful
and American E fH
I The freshest and in many respects the
richest specimen Of Characteristic American
architecture, is the design which has been
adopted for the Capitol of the State of New
York. In saying that this is American, we
do not mean to say that we borrow nothing.
Our art, like our poetry and our language
itself, is essentially European; but those
germs of thought which in Europe are re-
stricted and dwarfed, find in America un-
occupied fields and abundant facilities for
expression. Europe will not tear down its
medieval monuments, and the new Thought
of the age whether originating in this coun-
try orin Europe will be American, because
in America only can it take form.
The New Capitol, as the Scientific Ameri-
can informs us, adheres to the general style
of the new Louvre, the Hotel de Paris, and
the Maison de eodhnerce recestly erected
in the city of Lyons. -, ' c. +.
1t will be 900 feet by 800 on the ground,
and will have tower 60 feet square and
800 feet high. ha
1t will not be so large as the Capitol at
Washington, but we think it will be, il
possible, more ornate and beautiful than
even that wonderful structure.

The Standard.

After very brief suspension the Standard
has been resumed. 1t is very materially i'm
proved-is now a heightened, digniied
journal, one that intelligent and respectable
Republicans can endorse and support. Let
the course it has marked out be maintained.
1t is due to the Republicans of the State that
their organ, published at the Capital, be
conducted with decency as well as ability.
If the Sentinel and other papers of the vul-
gar sort will wallow, in, the mire, let them !:
it is their native element. Meet the oppo-
sition with arguments, facts and satire when
called for, but with vituperation and billings
gate never Success to the Standard under
its new management Elizabeth City North
Car0linian. ..r..
The North Carolinian has earned an en-
viable reputation for moderation and firm
ness, and is known to be dignifed journal
fit to adorn every household in the State.
Coming from such source, we appreciate
the compliment paid the Standard.
We are glad to know that the Republic
cans of the First Congressional District are
pleased with our course, and we hope that
the Republicans of other Districts are
equally as well pleased as those which the
North Cmolinian represents. .... -a.
The course which we have marked out
will be maintained. We are as immovable
as the everlasting hills, in our determination
to make the Standard all that the most
fastidious of our friends can wish.

The committee through their Chairman,

tions, viz: s,Iy5 -, t..ro-. Ia
We, the citizens of I, Raleigh, have assem-
bled, on this sad occasion, for the purpose
of paying sincere and profoundly felt,
though most inadequate, tribute to the
memory of the late General ROBERT ED--
MUND LEE. Conscious that no words can
express the intensity of our feelings, we do
what we can, to manifest to the world, how
warmly we loved and admired him, and
how painfully we are affected by his death,
in the adoption of the following resolutions ::
Resoloed, LIST. That the intelligence of tue
death of Gen. Robert E.. Lee,-intelligenee
which has created a profound sensation
throughout the whole nation and has es-
pecially stirred the deepest sympathies Of
the Southern heart,-has caused the people
of Raleigh deep and poignant sorrow.
2nd, That, in every relation of life, pub
lie and private, we recognize in Robert E.
Lee that admirable combination of, good
ress and greatness, which appropriated
him, nearer than any other man, to that
rare model of human excellence, George
Washington.
3rd. That, in order to give full expression
to our grief, Committee of six persons
shall be appointed by the Chairman Of this
meeting, whose duty it shall be to make and
publish proper arrangements for some future
memorial observances
Maj. Gales in presenting the resolutions
and Gen. Cox in seconding their adoption,
portrayed in fitting terms the grief and sad
ness of our community in their great Attic
ton. Appropriate addresses were then made
by Hon. D. NJ. Barringer, Judge Battle,
Rev. DR.. Lacy and the Rev. J. NJ Atkinson.
The Chairman announced the following
gentleman as the Committee under the last
resolution, viz: Messrs. Seaton Gales, P. F.
Pescud, w. Fl. Grow. r. S. Tucker, r. H.
Battle Jr., and John G. Williams.

THEN AND Now.-Governer Holden, pre-
vious to the recent election in this State, in
consequence of the outrages being then com
mitted, and in response to numerous appeals
for protection, did call upon the orderly and
law.abiding portion of the people to organ
ize and aid him in suppressing crime and
arresting offenders, but q large majority of
the press and his personal and political
enemies ridiculed and denounced the effort.
Finding himself thus checked be gathered
up such material as could be obtained dad
enough must be admitted and made the
attempt to restore order, but measurably
failed. The work had been committed to
bad and imprudent men, and the stern OPP
position and ridicule they encountered,
caused complete failure. nj rao
Now, some of the very parties who then
denounced the efforts of the Governor, are
invoking the aid of Federal authority, to
break up gang of outlaws in Robson
county, who are "preylng upon the COM
munity and enacting dark tragedies" Why
is thisa dl1 e ia l7j) ia9tt3ama3
If the Sheriff and his posse are unable to
protect you no relief can be obtained
through Federal agencies until demanded
by the Executive Of the State. Then it was
proclaimed an outrage. Would it be right

Education,

The late session Of the Massachusetts Leg
islature enacted for the promotion of Art
Education, as follows, viz: ..-.
"SEc 2. Any city or any town may, and
every town having more than ten thousand
inhabitants shall, annually, make provisions
for giving free instruction in Industrial or
Mechanical Drawing to persons over fifteen
years of age,e either in day or evening schools,
under the direction of the School Com
mittee." f8.t.ri H.saat y.
2 This "Actn will not stand dead letter
on the Statute Book. Boston has made ar
rangements for giving instruction to six
hundred teachers, to qualify them to give
instruction to their classes. Hereafter some
knowledge Of drawing will be required Of
all who apply for teachers situations.
1t is argued that the results of this step
will "almost transform the mental..habits Of
the people" 1t must lead to minuteness,
acuteness. and accuracy Of observation and
of knowledge. y.ssa- 5Hr5 .....l
o. The necessity of this art culture is evident
from the fact that certain manufacturers
very much depend upon the arts of design.

A Sleeping Beauty.

The ST. Louis Medical society have APP
pointed committee to inquire into the
case of Susan g. Godsey, known as the Sleep
ing Beauty, who, as is alleged, has with the
exception of brief daily intervals, slept
twenty one years. Susan G. Godsey, the
subject Of the inquiry, is 30 years of age, and
was born seven miles west of Trenton, Glib
son county, Tenn, where her parents kept a
small farm. On the LIST of August, 1S4s,
when she was nearly eight years of age, she
fell into torpid, insensible, benumbed con
dition, in which, as it is -veraciously stated,
she has remained during the last twenty
nine years, varied 9A|y BY a very singular
20 on Wssh hey pl Of CLOCK work work.
Every morning, precisely at the first dawn
ing Of light, she is found awake. This state
of wakefulness, however, does not ordinarily
last for more than from four to eight minutes.
During its continuance she eats and drinks
and talks. After having been awake for the
time stated, the patient is then seized with
kind of convulsion, her head moves from
one side Of the pillow to the other, in what
: is called "a lateral motion" These motions
are very rapid, and appear entirely uncon-
trollable. She then bends forward her head,
and kind Of hiccoughing is heard in her
throat, and she finally relapses into her for
mer torpid condition; her eyes are closed, her
lips are firmly compressed, and no motion
is visible except constant agitation of the
hands, which move about perpetually. This
process is repeated every time she wakes, and
also at intervals when asleep. Among the
curious facts mentioned in connection with
this case is that of the numerical regularity
Of the symptoms which precede the awaken
ing. In a few minutes after she is seized
with the commissions and the lateral motion
as described. she has twelve hiccoughs, then
adding one each time until she has sixteen.
This usually takes half an hour. The order
Of number is then reversed. After having
had aconvulsion, followed by sixteen h hi
coughs, the number is gradually lessened
until eleven is reached: then she awakes.
From to 10 in the morning she wakes
once every hour. In the afternoon, 1ever,
she sleeps until o'clock, and then at sun
down. During the night she awakes at 0
and at II o'clock. The next time is 8 in
the morning. {ii'esaf .. ai afel-f f'li
r When asleep she is alike insensible to the
effects of both sound and pain. ,-l. ,a.a
The reputation of the physicians who have
charge of the case is such, that the facts
stated seem unquestionable.
