NATIONAL CAPITOL.

The cornerstone of the capitol was
laid by Washington, on the 18th day of
September, 1888. The building was
opened for the meeting of Congress No
vember 17th, 1900. Enlargement and
new dome completed in 1867. The edi-
flee fronts the east, is 751 feet long, 34S
feet wide, and covers 81 acres; court
yards, 81 acres; in all, 7 acres. The pre-
dominant material of the exterior is
white marble. The dome is of cast iron,
1854 feet in largest diameter, and 2s73
feet high, surmounted by a statue of
Liberty 193 feet high. The interior of
the dome forms remarkable circular
chamber or rotunda, So feet in diameter,
$50 feet high. One thousand gas jets,
flashed by electricity, illuminate the in
terror by night. The walls of the rotun-
da are adorned with historical paintings
by eminent artists. The Senate Cham

Court rooms, and other apartments, are
splendidly decorated. The halls are
lined with polished marbles from every
State in the Union. Frescoes, paintings
and sculptures abound. The front por-

AMATEUR theatricals in Mt. Sterling,
KY, have received temporary check,
andamateur performers elsewhere, who are
ambitious to engage in "a Kiss in the
Dark" may profit by the experience of
the Mt. Sterling Club. These young as
pirants for thespian honors, having un-
dertaken the performance of the before
mentioned farce, progressed quite favor
ably until they reached that point in the
play when the handsome young man
kisses the pretty maiden. This being the
crowning act, the amateurs entered into
it with spirit, and acquitted themselves
so naturally that the young lady's real
lover, who was in the audience, was very
reasonably aroused to jealousy. As good
luck would have it he had brought his
pistol along; SO, without waiting the de-
nouement, as it is written in the play, he
promptly fired at the gallant actor, and
disabled him from further kissing on
that occasion. And thus it was that the
very pleasant little farce had a rather
tragic ending.

Epreciated the value of the white mans
way of transmitting intelligence by
writing, and secluding himself in his
hut, evolved from his inner conscious
ness the alphabet which is now used for
printing the Cherokee language.
This alphabet is phonetic. Sequoyah
discovered that the entire Cherokee Ian
guage consisted Of different combinations
of eighty-two syllabfes, and 50 he con-
structed his alphabet of eighty-six char
acters, each representing one of the
eighty-six sounds in the language.
These characters or letters any lad Of
ordinary intelligence can learn to dis
tinguish and pronounce in week, and
when the alphabet is learned
the pupil can read anything in the
Cherokee language. The ease with
which the art of reading in their native
language may beaequited has led the
the principal men IN the Cherokee ma
tion to encourage its study in various
ways, believing that many Of their tribe
could be induced to learn to read in
Cherokee who would never attempt to
accomplish SO difficult task as learn
ing to read in English. 1t is to ehcour-
age the Cherokees in the study of their
written language and in the pursuit Of
knowledge generally that the Cherokee
Advocate, weekly newspaper, is printed,
partly in the Cherokee language, at the
cost of the whole Cherokee nation.

WHAT INGERSOLL OWES TO THE
RIRIE

In those countries where the religion
of the Bible prevails there are great
many women and men, and not few
Sunday-school children, who take
pleasure in studying the so-called Holy
Scriptures, and they claim to derive great
consolation from their teachings. They
claim that their teachings are calculated
to make the world better and happier,
and that they are so infinitely superior
to the instructions of all the other philos-
pliers and sages that have ever lived, as
to furnish evidence of their Divine orr
gin, even if there was no other evidence
to sustain that conclusion. These people,
by the general tenor of their daily lives,
show in a very satisfactory manner that
this belief works them no evil makes
them no worse citizens nor disturbs the
harmony of the domestic relations any
more than if they were rank infdels of
the Col. Robt. Ingersoll style of moral
architecture. 1t is quite safe to say
that they will more than average with
those who feed no inner consciousness of
possessing souls.
No one questions Ingersolls right to
be an inidel, or Mahometan, or fire.
wershiper, in mere worldly point of
view. 1t is guaranteed by our Constitu-
tion. Those who don't agree with him
are perfectly willing that he should abide
the final result. He will find out soon
enough to please him who is right and
who is wrong. He is no pioneer in this
active crusade against all religious creeds
and forms of faith. He produces no new
argument, although he may present old
ones.eloquently and make them enjoya-
BILE to a mixed crowd, by profuse witt
cisms and old jokes that have done serv-
ice in better company for these many
years. Why should he, Col. Robt. G. In
gersoll, make himself miserable, even at a
net profit of two hundred dollars
night, in trying to bring the doctrines
of the Bible into disrepute? Let the
Illinois orator reflect what he would now
be and have been since he saw daylight,
if he hadn't been surrounded with the
blessings that religion had already
wrought out for him? Stanley discov-
cred in the interior Of Africa, nations of
people so remote from civilization that
apparently no ray from the Throne of
God had ever reached them. According
to the theory of Ingersoll they had suf-
fered nothing from the tom-fooleries of
Christianity. They were simple children
of Nature. As mere animals Stanley met

The New Jersey Legislature evidently
thinks that the times demand little
stringent legislation calculated to keep ex-

providing for the fine and imprisonment of
those who shall fraudulently convert mon
ey or goods held by them in trust for the
benefit Of estates or of wards. Such law

where estates, in the rage Of speculation,

SPONTANEOUS IGNITION OF LAMPBLAcK.-
Within three years three lampblack fac
tories in Massachusetts, have been destroyed
by fire. Perspiration from the hand, a drop
Of water, a bit of grease, or sprinkle of
oil, will create the combustion, which will
start sthe lampblack aglow like charcoal,
and so ignite the package. In lampblack
factories, while great precaution is taken
toprevent 6res, a rainy or sharp, frosty day
will start a dampness upon the inside Of a
window-pane, and the flying particles of
dust lighting upon this creates spark,
which, communicating with the pile, sends
glow of fire with wonderful rapidity
through the building. In cleaning up the
smoke-galleries, if the men let drop Of
perspiration fall into pile, they instantly
scoop up the lampblack in and about where
it lodges, and carry it out of the building.
