The Dome of the Capitol.

The altitude of the dome of the Cap
itol makes that building the highest in
America,it being 2S74 feet from the floor
of the basement story to the crest OF
the statue. There are only four edi-
fees in the old world which tower
higher toward the clouds-St. Peters,
at Rome, which is ass feet from the
pavement to the top of the cross out
side; St. Paul's, at London, which is
404 feet; the Cathedral of st. Isaac, at
St. Petersburg, which is 363 feet, and
the Hotel DIES Invalides, of Paris, in
which is the tomb of the great Napo-
leon, which is 323 feet high.
In the United States, the steepIe of
Trinity Church, New York, is next in
height to the dome; Bunker Hill Mon
ument second, and the Washington
Monument, in Baltimore, third.
The futed columns, &c in number,
which support the first balustrade in
the dome, are % feet high, and weigh
six tons each. Above this balustrade
springs the roof, formed of handsomely
ornamented panels, which gradually
diminish in size to the apex, which is
surmounted by a lantern 80 feet high.
In this is a rejecting lamp lighted by
electricity, but only Illuminated when
there is a night session either of the
House or Senate, or both. This beau
thdl lamp has been often seen of late,
and all who looked upon it have COM
miserated the weary Congressman
whose duties demand their presence in
the hot, close atmosphere of the hall,
which is rendered still more sitting
by the heat of summer.
But perhaps the greatest wonder of
the dome is the Whispering gallery"
1t is as near perfect as that of St.
Paul's, for on the circular gallery be-
meath the painting one may converse in
an ordinary tone of voice with friend
who stands opposite, nearly 20 feet
away. The sound appears to follow
the concave of the frescoed picture, and
is often very startling to persons not
aware of the singular freaks played by
the waves of sound at that dizzy alti-
tude.-Baltinlore Sun.

A Young Girl Commits Forgery, and
Cuts her Threat.

Thursday afternoon a girl aged about
fifteen years, named Dolly KraNse, re-
siding with her parents at Etna, at
tempted to commit suicide by cutting
her throat with a razor. Earlier in the
day she had taken a check for S175,
signed by herself, to the Sharpsburg
and Etna Savings Bank, where her
father had money on deposit. The
cashier advised her of the necessity of
her fathers signature, when she went
home and placed it to the check and
bank took the cheek to Mr.. Krause,
who said he knew nothing about it. In
the mean time the girl left the bank
and went home. Arriving there, she
endeavored to lift the top off cistern,
with the design to end her days some
where in the vicinity of its bottom, but
the weight was too heavy. She then
procured q razor and went to the Gel
lar, where she inflicted a serious cash,
some three inches in length, in her
throat. Leaving the house she was
seen by a young man who raised the
alarm, and she was followed, and, after
an hours search, discovered sitting on
stump, quite distance from her
home. She was taken to the house of
Mr.. George Seavy, near by, and DIR.
Purvis summoned. Her wound was
properly dressed by the physician, who
conveyed her home in his buggy. He
wound is not necessarily dangerous.
She says her idea in forging the check
was to enable her to procure money
with which to visit brother, living
''out West. "-PatSburgh Commercial.

Experiences of the Sultan's Pianist.

La Ltberte announces among its
musical items the arrival in Paris OF
one DOnizetti, professor of piano music
to the late Sultan Abdul Aziz, through
whose death the musician has lost his
situation. Donizetti, who, it appears,
is anephew of the author of ''Favorita, -
describes his experience thus: d" You
are summoned at o'clock in the morn
ing to play for three hours. You must
be in full uniform; you wait for seven
hours in an elegant gallery, where you
are forbidden to sit down. From time
to time they come to tell you what is
going on in His Majesty's apartments.
His Highness is going to arise The
moment you hear this you must pros
trate yourself His Highness is going
to the bath Again you PROSTATE your
self. His Highness is dressing You
PROSTATE yourself lower than ever.
And so the intelligence continues, until
you are wearied beyond endurance, and
the Sultan is finally ready. Then an
immense grand piano is brought in
without its legs, for the floor of the gal
lery is a precious mosaic of the rarest
WOOuS, anu may HUI OOsti thO "Oi- AiO VI
a piano even. The immense instru-
ment is placed on the backs of
five wretched Turks, suitably placed on
their hands and knees. But, say you,
Il can not play on five-Turk piano.
Surprising you complain that the instru-
ment is not level, they gracefully place
a cushion under the knees of the small
est Turk, and tell you to proceed, with
out suspecting the sentiment of HUMANE
tv that has occasioned the delay. The
Sultan appears, and, after all manner
OF prostrations, you ask for chair.
There is none; no one ever sits in the
presence of the Sultan. You protest
YOU can not play unless you sit, and the
Sultan finally orders a chair to be pro-
duced. You play for an hour or so,
and after the Sultan has watched the
effect on his followers until he is weary
he rudely thrusts you aside and takes
YOUR place. The eunuchs and the rest
awake and applaud his discOrds with
rapturous EXPLANATIONS, and after he
has amused himself thus until he is sat
isfied of the superiority of his music
over yours, you are dismissed. And
this it is to be pianist to Sultan"

ARE conflicting accounts about Smiths
firing, some contendlRg that
/ he fired one or more shots, and others
that he did not discharge his piece.
Both gentlemen are known as quiet,
pea cable citizens, endowed with, as
much of that article termed "clear
grit" A. usually falls to the share of
Western men; and what astonishes
their friends is the fact that such men
could plan and carry out so desperate
an engagement in the very heart OF the
city, whether drunk or sober, where
the lives Of so many disinteressec per
sons were endangered.
Both parties have been interviewed
this morning and both are on friendly
terms, Mr.. Stinson expressing deep re-
gret at the unfortunate turn of an en-
gagement made under the excitement
of liquor, and without malicious mo-
tives. Mr.. Smith says he does not rec
ollect any thing about pistols being
specified, and with the rife had started
toward the monument expecting to
meet StinsOn and from there proceed
to some more secluded trysting-place.
He was resting easy under DIR. Gordon's
treatment, and with continued good
care expects soon TO be on the streets
again. We are extremely glad that
this unfortunate shooting scrape termi-
mated no worse, hoping, for the honor
Of the fair name that Santa Fe has just

A California Romance.

Dennis McNabb4was the porter in a
mining company's office on California
Street. Dennis swept out and busted
things, kept the desks in blotting-pads,
and in winter made that fire which is
totally unnecessary in our wonderful
climate, but which ever ybody insists
upon having about four months in the
year, Just to remind them of the States.
Dennis felt very humble and lowly
indeed, as his salary was only $40 a
week, and when the Secretary-wbo
got S400 month for putting his feet
on his desk and writing notes from the
"Poodle Dog ''-scowled and wanted
to know where in the bottOmless pit
the Stock Report was, Dennis felt very
much Overpowered and down-trodden
indeed. But Dennis had heard of Whit
tington and Franklin and John McCul-
Tough, and other great men, and so he
worked patiently on, washing the spit
tsOns, taking around assessments mott
ces, listening at the board-roOm key
holes, and biding his. time generally.
Patience and frugality is its own reward,
and one day Dennis heard the president
read a telegram from the superintend-
ent up on the lode. They had struck
pay-rock at last. That night Dennis
drifted around and conferred awhile
with Mccarthy, who kept the saloon
at the corner. Then he had a whisper
or two with Hoolihan, who had made a
few dollars running the hack-stand.
McNabb had also something to say to
OFlynn, the stevedore, of a confden-
tial nature. The next morning the
! Secretary of the Yellow Cat Gold and
Silver Mining Company found Nc
Nabb's brogans in front of his ink-stand
and the spittoons being cleaned by a
| Monaghan. Before the official could
recover his breath small Fenian pro-
cessian filed in. There had been a cor
ner in Yellow Cat that morning, and in
less that ten minutes the old Board was
voted out, and the meek McNabb elect
ed President, and was busily signing
notices of a fve-dollar assessment on
the sEoutsiders." And now Mr.. Dennis
McNabb rides languidly down to the
Office in his coupe, and in the evening
ne sits on a satin sofa up at the ex-
Presidents house, with his French
boots on a Steinway Grand and four
bit cigar in his mouth, while the GX-
P.'s daughter sings "Lanigan's Ball.
in Italian-smacks him with her fan
and says: "You Irish are such
naughty, tickle men, but so nice. "-Sal

Two Days and a Night in Cistern with
Broken Arm.

The Kansas City Times says: On
the evening of the 4th of July, Just
when all the people were turning
towards home with their little ones, a
faint, weak voice attracted the atten-
ton of an old colored woman, who was
slowly making her way over the hill
between Second and Third Streets, near
Grand Avenue. The cry came appar-
emily from the earth, but as there was
no place where such a sound could en-
anate, except from an old dry cistern
close by, the old woman peered down
into the hole, and was startled to lind
the weak, pitious voice emanSting
