THE CuLdssEUaI. --0ne Of tie most re-
markable exhibitions ever conceived of is now
being given two times daily, in New York
City, at the corner of 18th st. and Broadway.
It consists Of the view of t" London by Day."
and "Paris by Night" An immense cylin-
drical iron building 100 feet in diameter, and
IS feet high, has beenerected expressly for the
display Of these paintings. In the centre is
n tower, SO feet in diameter aud l40 feet high.
An elevator carries visitors toward the top of
T. this, from which is presented in the afternoon
magnificent view Of London, and in the
evening, Of Paris, and both are said to be SO
natural rs to almost deceive one. These
paintings cover the entire circle of the build
ing. The cost of the building and decorations
was about $250,000 while the painting of
London originally cost over a million Of dol
lars. The painting of London by Day, has
been exhibited III London tor number of
years in building expressly built for it.

views, there is grand promenade of 300
feet on the first floor, with numerous curiosi-
ties; the Lectorum, in which Prof. Tobin, of
London, gives some wonderful experiments
with philosophical and chemical apparatus, of
the most pleasing character. A splendid
orchestra still further adds to the attractions
of the place: Those of our readers who visit

THE MISTRESS OF THE MANsE
RIHoLLAND.

Ambition was an alien word,
Which Mildred family understood;
poisoned brestning bad mot 5o oanrreo III 81
Nor had its blatant trumpet stlrreo--s--
To quicker pulse her heart content.
In social tasks and nome employ,
she did not question what IL meant;
But bore her woman's lot with JOY
And sweetness, whereso'er she Went
n ever with unconscious thrill
II touched her in some vagrant Dream
She only wished that God would MI
With larger tide the goodly stream
Trat flowed beside her, strong and STILL
She knew that love was more than fame,
And happy conscience more than loVe;-
Far of and wild, the wings OF flame!
Close by, the pinlons OF the dove
That hovered white above her name.
she honored Philip as a man,
And loved in his supreme estate;
But never dreamed that under ban
She lives who never can be great,
or chieftain of a crowd or clan
the public eye was like a knife
That pierced and plagued her shrinking near
To be woman and vile,
With privilege to dwell apart,
And hold unseen her modest life
Alike from praise and blame aloof,
And free to live and move in peace
Beneath loves consecrated roof
Her thanks for the divine behoof.
Hack Turns to brown and blueto blight
Beneath the blemish of the sun;
And cen the spotless robe of white,
Worn oyerlOng, grows dim and dun
Through the strange alchemy OF ngnt.
Nor wives nor maidens, weak or brave,
Can stand and face the public stare,
And win the plaudits that they crave,
And stem the Kisses that they dare,
And modest truth and beauty save.
No woman in her soul, is she
Who longs to poise above the roar
OF molly multitudes, and be
The idol at whose feet they pour
The wine of their idolatry.
Coarse labor makes its doer coarse;
Great burdens harden softest hands;
A gentle voice grows harsh and hOarse
That warns and threatens and commands
Beyond the measure of its force.
on sweet, beyond all speech, to feel
Within no answer to the drum,
Or echo to the bugle peal,
That calls TO duties which benumb
in service Of the common veal!
On sweet to feel, beyond all speech,
That most and best of human kline
Have leave to live beyond the reach
OF toll that furnishes, and find
No tongue but Envy's to impeach!
OH sweet, that most unnoticed deeds
Give play to fine, heroic blood
That hid from light, and shut from weeds,
The rose is fairer in its bud
Than in the blossom that succeeds!

The New Albany Ledger Standard, which

nationally glories in the triumph. 1t says
also: Upon the return Of Mr.. Kerr to the
House he viii at once take the rank among
his colleagues in that body which was ac
corded him while formerly member, and
exercise an influence that never could have
been commanded by the present occupant
of the seat, and to him will be awarded

prove a source of profound satisfaction to
his constituents, and an honor to the State
and the district.

One more pleasant little episode of the
campaign, wherein the good in man rises
above the evil in a political contest, is re-
lated by the Laporte Argus. 1t says: Major
Calkins is a man, every inch of him; and
while we rejoice over his defeat we can
not help feeling a tiDge of sorrow
that so good a man has been
sacrificed. He illustrated his generous and
manly character by sending the following
dispatch to his competitor as soon as the re-
suit of the election was known:

Our victory in this city, although fully ex-

An attempt to throw out Conservative votes
having been fanked on every other side, it
now seems instruct ons have gone forth to
the Radical faithful who were commissioners
and supervisors at the several polling booths,
not to sign the statement of votes and tally
sheets, as is required to be done under the
law, before this evening at 6 o'clock.
They have in many precincts left and can
not be found, notwithstanding that they have
been sought for far and near. That this is a
rusp Of the enemy is evident. After the count
ing of the votes last night, but little more
time was required to draw up the statement
of voters upon the blanks printed
for that purpose, but it appears Kel-
loggs tools lodged signing and swearing to
them according to law, and now seek to pre-
vent the tally Of several wards being counted
by their absence. The importance Of this
move will be readily understood. The count
ing of some Of the most populous
precincts was not terminated until this
morning, Immediately after which the Radical
supervisors, refusing to swear to the state
ment of voters, left. The provisions of the
election law require that by 6 o'clock this
evening, this should be done, otherwise the
vote of such poll will not be counted.
This dastardly attempt to stiffie the voice Of
the people will not be endured. If by
either the fraud or negligence OF Kellogg
Supervisors, the legal vote of this city be not
counted by him, then they will be taken from

The Lee Memorial Monument,

The latest news from the Lee Memorial As.
ISOLATION is, that Prof. Edward V. Valentine,
the sculptor, has procured from Vermont, q
block of pure white marble, from which he is
now fashioning a recumbent figure of Gen.
Lee, to be placed on the grand monument
that is now being erected at his tomb, at the
Washington and Lee University, Lexington,
Virginia. The figure represents General Lee
reposing in an easy position upon couch, his
head and shoulders slightly raised above the
body, his left arm outstretched by the side Of
his sword, his right arm laid across his breast.
He wears a full Confederate uniform, includ-
ing boots and gauntlets, and light drapery
covers nearly the whole form. The appearance
is natural and graceful, indicating peaceful
slumber rather than death.
This monument, when surmounted with
such q fine work of art, will be a lasting men,
orial to one of Virginia's noblest sons and pat
riots. The members of the association are gen.
tlemen well and favorably known by the entire
undone that will add to the beauty and finish
of this great work. We are advised by the
Secretary, Mr.. Charles A. Davidson, of Lex
ington, Virginia, that not sufficient funds have
yet been subscribed to fully complete the mon
ument In order to further this object they
have issued ife-size steel engraved portrait
of General Lee, to be sold only by subscrip-
ton through authorized agents the proceeds
of such sales to be applied towards the COM
pletion of the work. They and we feel that
this is an opportunity for all not only to pro-
cure superb life-like portrait of the great
Genera! at very reasonable price, but also
enable every person to aid in the erection of
lasting monument to his memory. Each SUBJ
scriber will receive certificate, signed by the
Secretary and Chairman of the Lee Memorial
Association.
