PROGRESS OF THE CAPITOL.

We visited the Capitol on yesterday
evening and found that since our last
writing on the subject, tho following
progress in the work has been done:
The second floor in the rotuuda be-
tween tho Senate and House Of Repre-
sentativcs has been placed. The fram-
ing Of tho floor of the keep, or iron
story, surmounting the court or rotunda
Is framed and being placed in position
on tho walls.
The spectators gallery in tho House
OF Representatives is partially finished.
Tho rnfters nro being raised to construct
tho roof over the North and South cur
tain rooms, which when completed,
will place the entire building under
roof ready for the slater, with the eX-
ception of the court, ii space OF forty.
five by fifty feet, in the ccnter OF the
editicc, which awaits additional iron
work ere it can also be rooted. The
Joiner has the window frames placed
throughout the first story, and is now
ut similar work in tho second The
painter is ut work on the iron work
outside the Senate chamber The
plumber and gas filter began work
yesterday, by taking the necessary
measurements. The coppersmith has
placed the valleys and cutters and is
ready for tho slater on the roof over the
Senate. He is busily at worl, over tho
House of Representatives. He also
has the leaders and conductors ready
to he placed.
If the iron work for frieZe and cornicc
is furnished soon, the brick work will
be completed in fifteen days.
The above details show that the
work of restoration is progressing
earnestly and with great rupidity.
Everything that is done is well done
and the materials are of the best quality.

ted parricidc rs soon as it could raise
an arm to strike the blow. There are
those who maintain that it was Gar.
! fields crime in fact as we'll as in form
| that it was he who conceived the pur
pose, Blaine merely asserting. But
the overwhelming proof is that the un.
! natural purpose was conceived by
Blaine, and that Garfield without much
hesitation fell into it, his moral percep.
tions being too feeble to save him from
the enormous guilt.
To state the case more plainly, just
| as subsequent acts describe it: 1t was
! in tho first hour determined that, as a
rule, Grant men-meaning thereby
those who worked for Grant for Presi-
dent and who afterward fought and
have no favors from the AdIninistra-
ton. Not only this; on the true
Donnybrook principle there should be a
club for every Grant head. To make a
practical application of this policy, and
drive Grant men either into tame sub
mission, with Blaine's foot ON their
necks, or into open antagonism,
Robertson was appointed. It is un-
necessary to rehearsc this dismal story
of periidy, ending in the rupture OF
the Republican party. But the Grant
men VINO would not surrender were
driven out, or rather compelled to go
out to preserve their manhood. / sus-
pect that by far the larger part of those
who succumbed did so only to destroy
Garfield. OF course there are eXcep-
tions, as in New York. There can be
no love with enforced relations of this
kind. Hate must bc the outcome.
Among the immediate results, the
Senate adjourns with a Democratic ma
jority, instead of the Republican ma
jority at Gariield's Inauguration.
When the Senate adjourned finally
on Friday, the President having said
that he had no further appointments
to make, it was sounding the death
Enell to not a few who had waited long
and expensively for evidence Of Execu-
tive favor. TO believe half the stories
Of the disappointed, there has been q
fearful neglect and downright viola
ton of promises. Doubtless in some
cases the complaint is groundless; not
50, however, III by fir the greater
number. 1t is the story, SO many
times repeated, Of exceptional du-
plicity, f.lstication without excuse.
What of this was not accomplished
directly was done Indirectly, the
mcanest way of any. Some remain in
the hope of getting their wrongs
righted. They had better use their
few remaining dollars to get home.

Connecticut, who told his associates at
Yale that ''if we, as ministers, are eau

the Rev. DIR. Armitage, will continue
to use the text of the American Bible

made in the New Testament is Il topic

CULTIVATE ONE TALENT.

Ono talent, cultivated, dccpcncd and
enlarged, il worth II hundreds shallow
faculties. Tho first law of SUCCESS nj
this day, when 80 many matters arc
clan0ring FOR attention, is cOnccntrn-
ton, to bend all tho energies to one
point, looking neither to tho right nor
to thclcn. 1t has been justly said that
great deal of the wisdom of Il man in
this country is shown in leaving things
undonc. The day of universal scholars
is past. "Lifc is short art is long"
The range Of human knowledge has
increased so rapidly that no brain can
grappic with it; and tho man who
would know one thing well must have
the courage to bc ignorant of Il thou
sand things, however attractive and in
viting. AS with knowledge, so with
work. The man who would get along
must single his speciality, and into that
must pour tho whole stream OF activity
ALI the energies of his hand, his eye,
his tongue, his heart and brain. Broad
culture and many sidcincss arc bcauti-
ful things to contemplate, but it is mar
| row edged nen-thc men Of single and
! intense purpose, who steel their souls
against all things cIse-who accom-
plish tho hard work of the world, and
who are everywhere in demand when
! hard work is to be done.

THE TRUE WAY.

This world is wide. If you wish to
be somebody "pitch in.' The brave
always have friends. Where others
have gone you can go. IF the old
tracks don't suit make q new one );
somebody Will walk in it. Success is
never obtained in Il country like this
without an effort. If you fail once try
it again if you fall down get up again;
if it is dark strike a light if you are
in the shade move around, for if there
is {: shade on one side there must be
sunshine on the other. 1t takes longer
to skin an elephant than a mouse, but
then its skin is worth exceedingly
more. Never be content with simply
doing what another has done-cNcel
him. Deserve success and it Will
come. Take time; don't hurry too
fast. Go slow, especially till you
know the road, or become acquainted
with your team. Mind your own bus
incss. You are learning experience.
That is Il good thing to have; it is
better t:lau gold, for it brings larger
premium. But to bring premium
the experience must be pcrfect-no
slvcr-platcu affair. Young men never
go uunoticed who mind their own bus
mess, anl who seem disposed TO be
somebody in time. This is a aquccr
world many people are watching us,
and help often comes when and from
whom we least expect. Confidence is
the safe in which men often deposit
rich treasures and as you prove
worthy SO will your reward in success
be. There is Il rich reward of success
which none but those who strive man
fully can ever cnjoy.-N. S. Economist.

On the street, even, he was followed
and bored by the public. 1t was con

Malone would commund, through
Gorham and lsiddlcbargcr, about two
thirds of all the patronage Of the scu-

brought with il the belief that his

his name was in great demand for re-
commcnualions for Office, high and

whereby to obtain it. From this
pinnacle of greatness Mahonc fell in
single day. His fall was heavier and
more humiliating than tho mighty
Conkling's. To-day the name Of
Malone is only mentioned with ridi-

A Noel, for 16 years Secretary Of the
Julia mine, has gone to Paris. ~. F. Daily
Report.
In reply to the above the N. Y. Daily
Stock Report says: The labor connected
with levying 81, ABE, 900 in assessments
should seem to entitle the Secretary Of the
Julia to a rest. However, he has not had
the further burden OF announcing any
dividends. We trust that the stockhol-
ders of the Julia will not begrudge their
Secretary this needed rest. When invest
ing in stocks Of this company many hoped
that the dividends received might enable
them to 60 abroad, but Julia's demands
have been so pressing that they have
periodically concluded to invest all their
money in this country.
Should Mr.. Noel come in contact with
any Julias in Paris, we trust that they will
not assess him so heavily as to prevent his
return, as those interested in our Ameri-
can Julia would very much miss their
regular assessment notices.
