The Douglas Monument at Chicago.

The Douglas monument al CnlcaSO.
1t will be about 100 feet in height,
and have a diameter at the base of fifty
two feet. The foundation, base and
tomb have been completed since 1866.
There are four pilasters projecting
from the corners of the tomb, which
will be surmounted by our emblemic
statues in sitting attitudes. They
will be of heroic size, and be made of
bronze or the finest italian marble.
One figure will represent history re-
cording on tablet the doings of Hi
nois, who sits on another corner, and
toward whom history is bending a lis
tening ear; the other two will represent
commerce and the arts and sciences,
with the proper symbols. All will be
robed in harmonizing dress and in class
ic style. There will be four high bas-
reliefs in marble or bronze extending
around the pedestal and which will
represent American subjects. One
group will represent the aborigines hunt
ing, fishing and engaged in other exer-
cises, swith wigwams, squaws and
other Indian accompaniments. An
other group will represent a pioneer
farmers life, third trade and enter
prise, illustrated by the building of
railroads, telegraph, the unloading OIL
vessels, etc. A fourth group will rep
resent education, illustrated by
churches, colleges and class of young
sters receiving instruction from their
schoolmaster.
The architectural work rising above
the tomb will consist of an ornament
ed pedestal, ornamented with bas-re-
liefs, and festoons and wreaths of
laurel, fiambeauX, book and scrolls.
Resting on the pedestal will be cir
cular column forty-four feet in height.
1t will be placed in three sections, the
sections to be joined by belt of stars
representing the different states. The
column will have a convexed outline,
be crowned with an ornamented frieze
and cap, upon which will be a colossal
bronze statue of Senator Douglas,
standing in the attitude Of delivering
an Grafton. The statue will be nine
feet high. The tomb chamber is to be
tiled with various colored marbles. A
life-sized bust of Douglas will be placed
upon the sarcophagus. The grounds
will be handsomely laid out with walks,
and be enclosed by terrace wall on
the lake side and stone curbing on
Douglas avenue. The shaft will be
granite.

is not sufficient to half occupy one, and
both of which, except for outside
support, must run at loss. Cheyenne
votes $3.50, 600 in bonds to aid the
Longmont extension, but the value of
Denver's investment in her road to
Cheyenne after the rival route is opened
will be very questionable. To the
Eastern and outside world all this con-
troversy is interesting, as likely to
open another way across the Continent,
and one which will place at the option
of the traveller a stop in Colorado with
out additional expense. 1t has been
and is now impossible to buy overland
tickets by way of Denver, and tourists
who wished to visit the State en- route
have been at heavy cost of time and
money. Residents of Eastern Kansas,
as far west as Topeka, find it cheaper to
go to San Francisco east and north via
Kansas City and Omaha, rather than to
come directly West over the shorter
line through their own State, while, on
emigrant fares, the cost of the Kansas
Pacific, west of Cheyenne, would be 50
more than the whole amount they
would receive from the Missouri River
to the Pacific coast. Naturally, the
the position of the Kansas Pacific, eX-
cluded from participation in the over
land business, is extremely unsatisfac-
tory to its managers. They have acts
of Congress and judgments of courts
in favor of the prorate, but these pay
no dividends nor interest, and are not
what they want. Whether they will
ever gain their point, it would be idle
to predict; though an independent line
West from Denver, through Berthoud
Pass, to a junction with the Central
Pacific at Ogden is physically possible,
the obstacles which will certainly pre-
vent the road for some time are finan-
cial.

TERRoRs OF FIRE DAMP.-The recent
frghttul catastrophe at Blantyre colliery
in Scotland, gives immediate interest to
the following graphic passage from an old
number of Blackwood
In the English colieries, when the ven
tllation is allowed to become bad, guam
tity of carburcted hydrogen gas accun,u-
lates in the wastes, or dug-out spaces, and
gnitos on the first approach of any light
except the saietylamp. The whole mine
is instantly filled with terrific flashes Of
lightning, expanding fluid driving before
it a roaring whirlwind of flaming air,
which tears up everything, scorching
somo 70 cinders, burying others under
enormous fragments of rock shaken from
the roofs and passages, and which, rush
ing mp the shaft, wastes its volcanic fury
in n thick discharge of dust, stones and
the mangred bodies of men and horses.
A catastrophe of this sort once happen
cd at the Belling colliery. The pit took
fire after the explosion, and it was neces-
sary to close the mine hcrmotically, in
order to extinguish the flames. 1t was
re.opened six weeks altcrward, when n
great concourse of people assembled to
witness this service of danger T; some out
of curiosity only, but the greater number
came with broken hearts to SOC the re-
mains of father, son or husband. Eight
men descended tho shaft, and after n
while II message was sent for collins. AS
soon as the dead-cart came, the women
rushed out of their houses, with sEricks
that were heard great distance. The
bodies were found, most of them, marked
with fire, some sco7ched and dry as mum
mics. In one place, twenty were lodged
in ghastly confusion, while others were
found unscathed, and in an attitude MS if
overpowered with sleep. 1t was only by
some article of clothing, as a shoe, or by
some token, MS tobacco box, that many
Of the bodies could DO recognized. One
vast grave was dug in lIoworth chapel
yard, and in il were placed the remains
ol elghty-nlnc hapless miners.
Notice is sometimes given of the ap-
proach of choke-damp and fire damp by
phenomena like that Of lairy-land. At
one time ar oder Of the most fragrant
kind is diil'used through the mine, resom-
bling the scent Of the sweetest ilowors
and while the miner is inhaling the balmy
breeze, he is suddenly struck down, and
expires in the midst Of his fancod enjoy
ment. At another time il comes in the
form Of "A globe of air inclosed in a Glmy
case and while he is gazing on the light
and beautiful bubble floating along, and
is tempted TO take it in his hand, it sud
denly explodes, destroying the miner and
his companions in an instant.
