BRONZE CAPITALS.
For Philadelphia Public Builitngs-A dc

For Philadelphia Public Buildings-A de-
scriptiOn of Them-Their Cost,
Weight, Etc.
The main or northern entrance to the
new public buildings ut Broad and Market
streets, Philadelphia, has remained in ail
unfinished condition long after the three
remaining entrances were completed. The
work to be done there is Of Il finer cllarac-
ter, and could not be hurried without do
ing it imperfectly.
The passaSe-way is still open to tho sky,
but work is now being done upon it 50
that it can soon be enclosed. Tho interior
finish of the entrance way will be of sand
stone, excepting six granite pillars which
stand out from the side passasc-way. The
bases of these pillars are of Bay of Fundy
granite, while the columns are of Cape
Ann granite, which will bc surmounted
with bronze capitals.
The pillars arc about 20 feet high and
stand three OH each side of the passage-way
and tho capitals, which will surmount
them, are about feet high. They weigh
1,5O0 pounds each. 1t required i year for
tho actual work Of building them. The
base of the capitals is 2 feet in diameter
circular in shape, and is surmOunted by u
wreath of leaves, oak, ivy, laurel and haw-
thorn being the four patterns. They
broaden towards the top and end in four
open angles, which project outward, tho
space between the angles being concavo.
Each of tho six capitals is different in cx-
ccution, though all arc similar in design.
Mr.. Alexander NJ. Calder, tho designer,
chose six mblcms-navigaticn architec-
turc, music, mechanics, agriculture, and
science, which were made in bronze, so
that they could be fastened to the sides of
the capital. Four of these designs are
combined with each capital, but in such an
order that no capital has the same four de-
signs. Tho effect thus secured was six
capitals dissimilar in pattern, and six diff
fercnt cmblematical designs. The capitals
cost in round numbers q, 900 each, and the
pillars upon which they rest tho same sum.
Three of tho capitals arc now in position.
On tho side of the walls of the
passage way will be sixteen spandrels
cut in relief, lifo size and in sandstone.
Each group is ola different combination,
emblematical Of the arts, sciences, agricul-
turc, commerce and industry.

peared from Jersey City.

And then comes Hancock's letter to Gen.
Sherman, written in 1876, from i: country
town in Missouri. 1t would be delightful
to think that Judge Black also wrote that ;
but unfortunately thejudsc was not there.
Unlike the Irishman's $ bird he could not be
in two places at once. Yet it is a very good
letter; strong, sensible, conservative,
showing rs accurate an understanding on
Hancock S part of the constitution as the
famous Louisiana. order. So far us We have
noticed the Republican organs accept this
letter mcekly as lIancOck's own. This IS
encouraging perhaps by and by they will
give him also tho credit which belongs to
him of the authorship of the Louis lana
orders and letters. The theory that Gen.
Hancock is \ mere dummy does not seem
to prosper.

The peach season is fully on, and large
quantity of fruit has already been shipped
from the various peach districts. About
375, 900 baskets by rail and enough by
water to mako up round 500, 600 of bask-

YOrkes and few early Crawfords, have
been sent here, and the heavy shipments
from New Castle county and Kent county,
Maryland, where the fruit is in the great
est quantities arc yet to be made. Gov.
Cochran thinks that the estimate OF 375,
600 baskets for MiddletOwn is not too high
at that, that many will be sent to mar

FELTON, and below the carly varieties which
constitute the bulk of the crop there have
been sent to market.

brought enough in tho various shipping
points to keep the drying men almost ell

large firms in the calming business, have
offered so cents a basket for the CrawfOrd's

TIE New York Herald cruelty re-
minds some who took part in the Fifth
avenue hotel conference yesterday that
they were there four years ago declaring
for man for president who /" in public
position never countenanced corrupt
practices, who is known to possess
those qualities of mind and character
which the stern task Of genuine reform
requires, who possesses the moral
courage and sturdy resolution to grapple
with the abuses which have acquired the
strength of established custom, and to
this end firmly resist the pressure even of
his party friends" and who deserves
not only the confidence of honest men,
but also the fear and hatred of the
thieves The Herald seems to suspect
that Mr.. Garfield has entirely too large a
foot to draw on that shoe.

Gen. Hariielll's Progress.

New York Herald.
Since Andy johnson "swung round the
circle there has been nothing SO verbose
as General Garfield's progress from Mentor
to New York, unless it may be Mr..
Hayes's almost forgotten Southern tour
at the beginning Of his administration
The profusion of speeches on both of these
previous journeys, however, possessed
merit to which none of Yesterdays can
lay claim. They all touched i'm
portant subjects which then were
uppermost in tho minds and hearts
of their hearers. The oratOry which
dripped yesterday at every railroad station
from the rear platform of the car which
brought the republican presidential candi-
date across this state was utterly insipid
SO far as concerns his contributions to it.
Most of them were rather clumsy cOmpli-
ments to the crowd for gathering to look
at him, and We find none that needs COM
ment on account of it's relation to any seri-
GUS matter in debate in politics. Few
men in position which makes the public
eager to catch every one of their words
ever have talked Oftencr and said less that
deserves remark within the SAME time.

robbed Of six shirts, one pair Of boots, two
pair Of drawers and few other articles.
The thief effected an entrance during the

pane OF glass from ono Of the windows and
removing the fastening. He thoroughly
ransacked the house, breaking the locks of
the bureau and desks in search Of plunder.
The house Of John johnson, Of Bart, was

on his arm one Of the silver bracelets
stolen from Johnson's and had in his pos
session a pair Of drawers stolen from Mrs.

also supposed to have been stolen from
