Tenth Wonder of the World.

Special Dispatch to the BALTIC Day.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l9.-When
the Day correspondent visited the
Washington monument yesterday
the Workmen were engaged in laying
the three hundredth foot. At that
height the monument is on Level
with the pedestal Of the statue which
adorns the dome Of the Capitol. Have
any of your readers IN idea what an
altitude OF three hundred feet really
is? Comparisons are OdiOuS, it is
said, and yet it is only by compari-
sons that the relations of things to
each other can be best determined.
St. Peters at Rome has an elevation
of 375 feet, and its great height has
been subject of wonder to all who
have gazed upon it. CheOps, the taller
of the pyramids. rears its massive
head 1870 feet above the level Of the
sea. But the Washington monument,
when finished, will dwarf this struc-
ture of the ancientS by IS feet, for it
is the intention Of the government to
raise it to the height of 555 feet, The
stone used in its construction comes
from the Maryland quarries. The
great blocks of marble are carried to
the top on an elevator which runs SO
slowly through the Stygian darkness
that one has ample time to reflect on
the awful consequence that would
come from the breaking of chain.
The conductor, toe, is cheerful per-
son. All the way up--it took six min
uteS to make tie assemble smoking
a villainOusly strong pipe and dilated
with mathematical eXactness upon
the dI erent ways one might be
dashed to pieces even before reaching
the bottom. The view from the top
is a glorious one. The houses seemed
nesting together and spread out in Il
great heap at your feet. The broad
avenues looked like narrow passage
ways, while the men and women dis
tinguiShable at a distance reminded
one instnetiveIy of LilIiuut, or chill
dren making believe big At that
elevation the wind blows Il constant
gale, rendering all conversation inn
possible except when ones back is
turned. About fifty feet more will
be added before the work Of the sea-
son closes. The monument will prob
ably be completed IN 1884.

HUGHES SCHOOL HOUSE.
Editor Exchange:

HN'OO' S@SO''N'tyS'
| see in the last few numbers of
your paper a communication from a
representative of Thomas School
House, who claims it to he in a dark
corner, and we'll may he, if the hobs
goblin and ghost stories are generally
believed, such as this: "When holes
are found in graves the souls have left
the body and gone upward" and "The
warm breezes we meet frequently in
summer are spirits" There might be
some excuse for such sentiments in
the dark ages, when the minds of
men were enveloped in darkness and
superstition; but in this enlightened
age of biblical knowledge, for anyone
to believe such is supersticious in the
highestgdegree. We cannot believe
that many, if any, even of the color
ed race believe such absurd things.
We cannot boast of much light in our
corner of the moral vineyard. But
being somewhat of political turn of
mind, we call the attention of the peo-
pie to a much needed reformation,
that is in our county court system.
All who are familiar with its workings
must be convinced that it is a cum
berous weight upon the tax payers of
the county, ana should be abolished.
The business of the county can be
transacted with less expense than by
our present system. Economy in the
administration of county affairs is
worthy of our consideration, and we
call upon the press and the tax pay
ers of Gibson county to speak out in
relation to the proposed change.
