Work on the:wsshIngton Monument.


 went to the top of the Washington monu- ment to- day, which is now about 22O feet high or 70 feet higher than when Congress resum- ed the work last year. A splendid elevator, which cost about $40, ,00O, and is the highest in the world, carried us up. This elevator at the top supports on it's four corner tubes the four cranes which lay the stone, If necess- ary on the four sides at once. A little rail- road brings in the great blocks of stone, weighing from two to six tons apiece, and places them on the elevator, with low car beneath the stone The elevator is open and I had to sit down and bug the stone to avoid dizziness and the horrible tumble down the | stoEe shaft. The elevator ascends very de- 1 iberately and smoothly aud will carry 10 l tons. As the monument is built upward, the ! elevator is mortised into it, and continues to l rise 20 feet at 8 time.
 l The blocks of marble, seven feet long and l two feet square, are set as easily as bricks in French lime and Portland cement. The | block we went up with was in it's place in 10 minutes. The walls at the bottom are 15 feet thick, and at that point if there were no cavity, would make solid shaft of stone 30 feet thick. At the point where they are now ! setting stone the walls are only seven feet l thick, and at the top, 800 feet above the l ground, will be only foot and half thick. The exterior, or facing of marble, is only 1 four-sevenths of the present thickness. The lining, of Cape Ann granite, is jointed through at certain spots with the marble to unite the two sorts of stone more thoroughly. No iron is used.for bolts or rivets anywhere. Each marble stone, as described, when put into place has cost $75. The marble is quar- ried about 60 miles from the monument. The 150 feet of the shaft finished nearly SC years ago is miserable work compared to the present, and the irregular stone of that pe ] riod are the only suggestions of weakness 1 about the edifce. The monument can be finished in three years. It will have Ian tern or cupola on the top, of iron, 30 feet higher than the masonry, making $50 feet 1T all. Every foot of the shaft has been under pinned with solid apron or platform ot j stone, 100 feet square. At the top 13 mel work constantly, quiet as pigeons in D barn cote. The immense fort of stone at tha great height is beautiful in it's symmetry ant as large as comfortable dwelling. The view is already grand, comprising the whole Dis trict of Columbia and many miles of Virginia The city looks like mass of loose stone carelessly cast over the plain, with some to, public buildings lying between. The monu
 ment is now fully two-thirds done, in labo
 and stone When it shall be 262 feet abov the ground the present builders upon it vii
 have done half of the work since they resup1
 cd it's construction. It is not safe for weak
 headed people to go up.

 s'But the fact is,'' said Captain McNeil to a
 reporter for the Standard, ''I've been
 steamboating long enough. l was eleven
 years in the employ of the New Haven Steamboat company, most of the time cap tain of the Elm City, before I came to
 Bridgeport to take charge of one of the old line boats. Previous to that I went with the late Captain John Brooks for a good many years. In fact, Captain Brooks gave me my start in life, and to him I owe everything. may say he brought me up. He got me my position with the New Haven company too "I don't know,'' he continued, ''I think can stand the new departure. I've hai enough wear and tear on the water, though must say haven't cost the owners much During my sixteen years with the Brid0epor 1 Steamboat company I've only lost two day ! from sickness and never cost them but yer, little money for damages to the boat. 1 think I can say that owe my good luck il | this respect to my temperate habits, for | never drank glass of liquor in my life.'
