A Hundred Years Ago.

The American War.-The Chronicle
of June goth has the following extract
of letter from New York:
Washington, the Congress, and all
the rebel governors have rejected the
terms held forth in the new Acts of
Parliament, and will not treat but as
Independent States. The rebels
grow saucier daily, and make joke
of Lord North. They say the King
cannot send more men, and of course
will leave them the country to them
selves"

1000 more of them prisoners.
An Enormous Head-dress.-At no
period have ladies' head-dresses at
tanned such enormous proportions as
they did a century ago. The following
story is told by the ChroRicle
"The other day little lady with an
enormous high head, passing through
Travistock street, a droll fellow of a
journeyman carpenter took out his rule,
and gently following the lady, meas
ured her height from the top OF her
cap to her heel, and found that the cap
measured exactly one-third of the
whole. ."-NeVeGStI (ERg.) ChroRicIe.

The Washington Monument.

The work of removing the debris
accumulating around the Washington
national monument, Washington, ID.
c., is progressing rapidly, and in
short while work upon the structure it
self will be resumed. The plan of the
monument has been considerably modi-
fed. Instead of the pantheon in the
original design there will be a sort of
terraced esplanade or dais around the
base, with statuary at each angle repre-
senting the principal events in the life
of Washington. Instead of 600 feet, as
intended in the original plan, it will be
485 fee; high, and will then be five feet
higher than the pyramid of CheOps in
Egypt. The foundation is of Potomac
gneiss rock eighty-one feet square,
buried eight feet below the surface.
The height of the present superstruct-
ure, which is tifty-five feet square, is
174 feet. The amount so far expended
is S230,00 The amount appropriated
for its completion is S250,000. The
monument will be finished in heavy
blocks of crystal marble from Mary
land, laid in courses of about two feet
and backed to the required thickness
with gneiss to make the inner surface
vertical, the outer face receding at a
very slight angle as it rises, so as to
give the form of an obelisk. The in
terror of the monument will be provid-
ed with an iron staircase to enable per-
sons so desiring to make the assent.
Col. easy, the engineer in charge of
public buildings and grounds, who has
general charge of the work, estimates
that the monument can be carried to
the proposed height of 4S5 feet within
two wears

The Eclipse.

DENVER, Col. July %.
The sky was entirely clear until p.
M, when few masses of cumulous
clouds showed themselves over the
mountains toward the north and west
ward. With these exceptions the sky
was perfect and the atmospheric con-
ditions of the most favorable character
for a successful observation of the
eclipse. The house tops were thronged
with people, higher buildings being es-
pecially in demand, as from the ap-
proach of the dark shadow of totality
could be seen as it swept onward over
the plain. The time of the first con-
tact was 2:20 Denver time, and ten
minutes later the presence of the moon
at the edge of the suns disc was plainly
perceptible to ordinary observers with
smoked glass.
BY O'clock the sunlight had mod
Grated in a marked degree, showing a
pale yellow color. Later on lurid
glare overspread the earth. The heat
of the sun was no longer oppressive,
and light similar to twilight was
shown on the horizon, and the light
hecks of clouds began slowly to dis
solve owing to the change in the tenn
perature as the period of totality came
on. The sight from an elevated station
was grand.
An extreme dark shadow fell on
Longs Peak, seventy-five miles distant,
and sweeping rapidly eastward covered
the plain like a gray pail. To the
northeastward clouds could be seen
bathed in sunlight and presenting
views of a beautiful sunset During
the period of observation the moon
appeared like huge black ball sur
rounded by beautiful circle of light,
and as the sunlight suddenly burst
forth again the chickens crowed as
though morning had dawned.

Hearing Flies Walk.

"No, ho; nobody can do that ~
But anybody can do that,-with
microphone.
And what is a microphone ?'
Why, it is a machine by which very
low sounds, that don't seem to be
sounds at all, may be made TO grow so
loud and clear that you can easily hear
them. If any of you come across one
of these things, just take it into some
quiet green spot, and coax it to let you
hear the grass grow.
There's one feature of the micro
phone that is likely to be troublesome
il makes loud noises sound hundreds
of times louder. Something must be
done, therefore, 10 prevent the use of
these machines on any Fourth of July.
That would be what nobody could
stand, l should think.-''Jdck-tH-ths-
