ST.. PAUL's CATuEDRAL.-St. Pnnl's
Cathedral is tho noblest Protestant
church in the world. It is ono of the
most conspicuous objects in the British
capital. and stands in the very centre
and most elevated part of the city. The
edifce is entirely built of Portland stone
and on the plan OF the Latin cross. q
form which approaches to perfection.
expands ensily to the eye Of the specta-
tor, and exhibits its beautiful combina-
tions ut one view. The best authority
thut e1is.s illustrative of it's origin is its
great restorer, Sir Christopher Wren.
His opinion, that there had been u
church on this spot, built by Christians.
in the time of the Romans, was con-
firmed when he searched for the fouuda-
tion of his own design. He exploded the
notion that there had been once tenn.
pie of Diana on the spot The first
church is supposed to have been de.
stroyed during the Diocletiun persecu-
ton, and to have been rebuilt in the
reign of Constantine. It was again de-
molished by the pagan Sa1ons. The See
of London was established by Angus
tine, Of Canterbury. when the Anglo
Saxons first embraced Christianity, and
q church was again built on the site by
King Ethelbert, who dedicated it to ST.
Paul. the Apostle. The structure was
afterwards enlarged. The cathedral and
great part of the city was destroyed by
fire in 1888. after which Mauritus, then
Bishop Of London, commenced the mag
niHcent edifce which Immediately pre-
ceded the present cathedral. The me-
morable fire Of 1865 destroyed the chief
part Of old st. Paul's and irreparably
damaged the remainder. A design was
approved by royal warrant, in 1875, for
the commencement of new building.
The first stone was laid in that year by
Sir Christopher Wren. The choir was
first opened for divine service on the 90.
casion for thanksgiving for the peace OF
Ryswick. in 1897. It took thirty five
years to complete the present edi6oe.
The whole length OF St. Paul's, with
portico, is 500 feet; width Of the West
ern front. with the towers, $50 feet, and
length Of transepts within doors of por.
tico $50 feet; circumference of building
1900 feet. At entrance OF nave and
transepts rises q magnificent dome, 145
ieet in diameter, from the top of which
springs lantern enriched with columnt
and surmounted by gilded ball and
| cross.

The Phceaix- sAa Jaags r0rahana., .,,7n-'
. The Union, very unjustly. to say the
least, has striven to convey the impress
sion that this. journal has acted unfairly
towards Judge Graham. in its Notice Of
the action Of tie House. The articles
in the PHGNx should speak for them
selves-the frat expressing our doubts Of
the truth of the charges, aud the second
expressing our Qualification at the COM
plete vindication which he had made.
After quoting from our article as fol-
lows: .}.@. :
t'It-is alleged that Athe bearing, in.
struotions and rulings to the Jury and to
the counsel for the plaintiffs raise strong
apprehensions' that corruption was prac-
ticed { nd Justice denied. OF course, it
all means that Judge Graham has ao.
cepted bribe and soiled the judicial
ermine with daub from that oess.pool
of corruption in which the body OF. OUT
Legislators have been wallowing for
years."
The clear, or at any rate wellred-
headed genius Of the Union comments in
the following terms:
"Now, we undertake to say that there
is nothing in the resolution, or anything
else connected with, the matter, that
would justify any person in suoh con-
fore the public. before any facts at all
have been developed. and attempt to
prejudice the case. is, to say the least OF
it, unfair"
If there is any ether. officer of court
who makes rulings, or gives instructions
to juries, except the Judge. we are una.
ware OF it. We simply copied, as :he
quotation marks show. part Of the pre-.
amble to the original resolution OF in.
vestigation as introduced into the House.
If the preamble meant anything else
than what We said, namely. that Judge
Graham had accepted bribe. &c.. we
would like to hear the Union explain it.
No, Mr.. Union, We are in no wise re.
sponsible, as you are fully aware, for the
calumny against Judge Graham. You
must 60 to your own Immaculate House
of Representatives for that. We dis
tinctiy avowed our doubt of the truth o1
tho charge; nor does our declaration
that the fact OF Judge Graham associ
ating himself with corrupt men, pre-
vent our speaking with the same conf
denoe Of him had he not done 80, admit
of any such construction, logically O,
reasonably, as you place upon it. Say
you: "It this means anything, it mean.
that. because Judge Graham was elected
to his position by Republicans, he must
of necessity, be corrupt" Iu saying
that we could not speak for Judge Ora
ham with the same confidence we once
could. we mean, say you, that he must
OF necessity. be corrupt. Nobody bu
muddle-head could ever draw such
conclusion from our words. Our onl,
mistake in the matter was in presumipf
that thero must have been at least som'
plausible pretext for the accusations
against Judge Graham, when the Hous,
of Representatives that elected him, ant
is composed almost entirely of his owl
political associates, adopted unani
mously, if VIC are correctly informed,
resolution setting forth corruption, ant
requiring investigation.

TIGHT Doors. s.-Hard corns are caused
by too much pressure OF the boot. or by
its being 80 loose as to slip back and
forth on the spot where the corn after
wards shows itself. Medical books re-
cord several places where pairing q corn
has caused bleeding which no known
means could arrest, and death ensued.
Nothing harder than the finger-nail ever
ught to be allowed to touch the corn.
which can always be cured. or kept from
oaus ng inconvenience, by simply bath
ing the part in warm water for half an
hour for several days in succession; !;
often single bathing will accomplish
the objest OF so softening the parts ad-
jacent to the actual corn, that it can be
Picked out with the hnger-nail, and
then the shoe can be instantly worn
without discomfort, which an hour
before gave great pain. 1t may re-.
turn in week, or month, but the
same treatment will always avail. Par
ing causes them to spread and take

A CAPITAL INvHNrIoN.--We were
shown, yesterday. By Mr. T. x. Ward,
the patentee, models Of his door and
gate spring and window fastener. The
door spring can be attached to any
door, is very simple. and answers the
purpose more effectually than anything
of tho kind We have ever seen. The
spring. by change OF the location OF
the lever, can be made to bear any re-
quired degree OF resistance, and is thus
applicable alike to gates and door fas-
tenors. The window fasteners are per-
feet; they serve at once to hold the sash
at any height desired. and to fasten it
securely when down. It can also be
attached to any sash. Mr.. J. G. Dial is
agent in this city.
10000 human beings set forth toge-
sher on their journey. After ten years
one-third have disappeared. At the
middle point of the common measure OF
life but half are still upon the road. Fas-
ter and faster, rs the ranks grow thin
ner, they that remain till now become
weary, lie down and rise no more. At
throe score and ten bnnd of some 400
yet struggle on. At ninety these have
been reduced TO handful Of thirty trem-
bling patriarchs. Year after year they
fall in diminishing numbers. One ling
ors, perhaps, lonely marvel, till the
century is over. We look again, and the
work of death is finished.

Statistics of Europe.

A statistician in Berlin has published this
useful summary:
Europe had fifty-six States before the Ital-
an war, while now it has only eighteen, with
total superficial area of 179, 1902 sqnare miles,
and a population of 300, 10000 OF these the
German Empire comprises 9,SSs square miles,
and population of 40, O,1O6,9OO according to
the census of 1861.
The principal States in Europe, with pop
ulation of more than 25,000,000, are: Rus
sia, 71,000, 600; Germany, 10000, 900: France,
36,5OO,OO0; Austro-Hungary, 36,O00,000;
Great Britain, 81, 100000; and Italy, 26,500,-
600: their total population is therefore four
fifths of that of the whole of Europe. A CELL
tury ago, before the partition of Poland, the
Great Powers only possessed one-half of the
then population of Europe, thus: Russia, 49,
100000; Austria, 17,000,000; Prussia, 5000,

THE PR ESS.
MONDAY MORNING. JAN. 8, 1872.
Henry Clay in a Passion.

Inc triangular correspondence had been
successful; the convention to nominate a
president had been postponed until after the
pennsylvania elections; the friends of Mr..
WEBSTER had used Gen. Scotts's name to de-
1eat the nomination of Mr.. Clay, and Gen
Scotts nomination was defeated in turn by
that OF Gen Harrison in the fall of 1899. Mr.
Clay had been fully warned of the macbina-
tons to defeat him, and would not give Gre
dence to the friendly caution. He would
hardly credit the device and its success to the
last. In the very hour of his defeat he was
sitting in room at Browns hotel, anxious
ly waiting to hear of his nomination, He
made most singular exhibitions of himself in
that moment of ardent expectancy. He was
open and exceedingly profane in his denunci-
atlons OF the intrigues against his nomination
we had taken two whig friends of our dis
trict to see him, and after they had sat some
time listening to him, in utter surprise at his
remarks, full of the must imprudent, coarse
crlmination of Others, in words befitting only
bar-room in vulgar broil, of sudden he
stopped, and turning to the two gentlemen,
who were dressed in black and both strangers
to him, he said: "But, gentlemen, for aught
know from your cloth you may be parsons,
and shocked at my words. Let us take
glass Of wine" And, rising from his seat, he
walked to well-loaded sideboard, at which,
evidently. he had been imbibing deeply be-
fore we entered. Thereupon we bowed and
took leave. One of the gentlemen, after re-
firing, remarked: ''That man can never be
my political idol again. and from that time
to this he has ceased to admire him. In a
short time after that he (Mr. Clay) went
across the avenue to the parlor of his board
lng-house, where he awaited the arrival of
two OF his personal friends, on the night of
the nomination at Harrisburg, to bring him
the news of the final proceedings and choice
OF the whig convention. We went to the de-
pot and got the intelligence of the nomination
OF Gen. Harrison and Mr.. Tyler and hasten
ed back to him with the news. Such an ex--
hibition we never witnessed before, and we
pray never again to witness such an ebulli-
ton OF passion, such storm of desperation
and curses. He rose from his chair, and,
walking backward and forward rapidly, lift
ing his feet like horse string-halted in both
legs, stamped his steps upon the floor, ex-
claiming: "My friends are not worth the BOW
der and shot it wonld take to kill them" He
mentioned the names of several, invoking uI-
ON them the most horrid imprecations, and
then, turning to us, approached rapidly, and
stopping before us with violent gesture aud
loud voice, said: eff there were two Henry
Clays, one of them would make the other
president of the United States.-Henry a.

A SHARP FREsHMAN.-In the early days
of Yale, say 1854, tagging was in vogue, as
of late ''hazing'' has been. The seniors and
sophomores assumed the distinction of 'su-
periors," and many and vigorous were the
executions they were allowed to practice on
defenseless freshmen. One, however, the
grandfather of the narrator, was freshman,
and seems when thus lad, to have possessed
much of the hard sense, independence, fear
lessness, and dry humor that marked his
character in life. One day, at a time pecu-
liarly inconvenient for him, senior called
him. According to law, he approached his
superior with his hat off; for this was the
rule, and he must it keep off until hidden to
put it on. The great man, giving him dol
lar, told him to hurry off and get pipes
and tobacco with it, to be used in
the entertainment of select circle at the
seniors room. Off went Mr.. Freshman,
thinking hard an idea came into his mind;
he followed it instantly; and it was nearly
two hours before he knocked at the door of
the senior, and dutifully handed forth pipes
and tobacco.
At what he saw, the senior was furious.
"What made you so long, sir?"
''Why, sir" (innocently), ''yon didn't tell
which shop, and l went down to Long
Wharf, lat the extreme end Of the city,
"But, you rascal, what did you get so
many pipes for? And where's the tobacco"
sWhy, sir" (pointing out a microscopic
parcei), ''you didn't tell me how much of
each; and bought ninety-nine cents worth
of pipes and one cents worth of tobacco"
The rage was dire; but the letter OF the
law protected the sly freshman, who was nev-
er known to be sent on any errands again

MARK TWAIN in his lecture on Artemus
Ward tells the following:
As Artemus Ward was once travelling in
the cars, dreading to be bored, and feeling
miserable, man approached him, sat down,
and said
'Did you hear the last thing on Horace
Greeley?
"Greeley9 Greeley?" said Artemus. "Hor-
ace Greeley? Who is he?''
The man was quiet about five minutes.
Pretty soon he said:
''George Francis Train is kicking up good
deal of row over in England, do you think
they will put him in a bastile? ?'
''Train? Train? George Francis Train ?'
said Artemus, solemnly. II never heard of
him."
This ignorance kept the man quiet for fif-
teen minutes then he said:
''What do you think about Gen. Grants $
chances for the Presidency? Do you think
they will run him?''
"Grant? Grant? hang it man," said Ar
temus, ''you appear to know more strangers
than any man / ever saw"
The man was furious; he walked up the
car, but at last came back and said:
"You confounded ignoramus, did you ever
hear of Adam?'
Artemus looked up and said: ''What was
his other name"'
