The National Capitol.

The work of repainting the great
white dome of the capitol at Washing
ton has been i'll progress several
months under the immediate per
sOnal supervision of SignOr Phil
lippO COstigini, the well-knOwn Italian
artist and frescOist. The men actually
employed on the outside of the dome
are twelve in number. They are men
of more than ordinary daring in their
profession, who are not afraid to risk
their lives for fancy prices. 1t may
seem incredible, but it is fact, never
theless, that to repaint the outside of
the dome requires fifteen tons of pure
white lead. This amount of material,
under ordinary circumstances, would
be sufficient to paint every house on
Pennsylvania avenue from the capitol
to the treasury building. The cost OF
repainting the outside of the dome il
estimated at $1,000.

COckeriIl's Addition TO .sPina-
GOre.'

Most people who have admired the
little song of Hebe in the last act of
"PinafOre" do not know that it is not a
part of the opera as written by Gilbert
and Sullivan. 1t was composed and
the music arranged for Belle Macken-
Zie by John Cocllerill, the st. Louis ed
itOr, who recently shot and killed Col
Onel Slayback in the POst-Dispatch of
flee, st. Louis. Belle Mackenzie made
the part of Hebe famous when she gave
the new song for the first time at the
South Broad street theatre, in this city, g,
during the great "Pinaforen craze of
1877. When John T. Ford was intro
duced to Miss Mackenzie in Baltimore
he was struck with her face and man
ners, and thought she would make a
hit on the stage, so he offered her a
place III the Hebe role in ''PinafOre." D."
The company was then preparing to
come to Philadelphia to reap the rich
harvest which afterward put thousands
of dollars i'll the pockets of himself
and Fred Zimmerman. The pretty
Philadelphia blonde, who was about to
make her first appearance, was not sat
lsfied simply to pose. But as the au-
thOrs of the opera had not written a
solo for the fair cousin there was some
difficulty in satisfying Miss Mackenzie,
until the matter was mentioned to Mr..
COckerill, who was at that time the ed
itOr-in-chief of the Baltimore Gazette,
and who sat down and dashed off the
song which has since become famous.
He is something of a musician, and,
with the assistance of the director of
FOrd's company, the song was set to
music and at once handed to Miss Mac
kenzie, who quickly caught its spirit
and made a great hit. The music to
which the song was set is an old Hun
garian air, which Mr.. Cockerill heard
during his tour of Europe for the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, and which made such
an impression upon him that he had
not forgotten it Philadelphia Rec
ord.

The Lights Of Home.

In many a village window burn
The evening lamps,
They shine amid the dews and damps,
Those lights of home
Afar the wanderer sees them glow.
Now night is near;
They gid his path with radiance clear,
Sweet lights of home.
Ye lode-stars that forever draw
The weary heart,
In stranger lands or crowded mart;
o. lights of home.
When my brief day of life is DER
Then may see,
Shine from the heavenly house for me
Dear lights of home
III. l. King.

The members of the Boston school
board are unanimous in the opinion
that it would be very unwise to return
to the old method of teaching spelling,
but a majority agree that if any change
should be made it should he by cOmpO-
sitiOn, though, on the whole, they con
slider that as spelling is now in tran
STORY condition, it should remain until
the results have been ascertained. A
minority of the board entertain the
view that well-prepared spelling
book might he used to advantage.

Human Prejudice.

Some one has wisely said '0There is nothing stronger than human prejudice :" and this is true. Especially are some minds prejudiced against proprietary medicines " Because some such medicines are shams, they leap to the conclusion that all are. As well say, because some physicians are quacks, all are There are counterfeits of all good things, even of gold coins and greenbacks. But there is true money, and there are true medicines Among the latter Is Hunts Rem edy, true and tried, and with the testimonials of hundreds who have been healed and saved from the grave by it.

A Body Found-probabIy Foul Play.
 Early yesterday morning two oystermen, while dredging for oysters near the breakwa- ter at the mouth of the harbor, discovered the body of man floating. They kept watch of it and when through their work sailed up to the object and found it to be the remains of man. Coroner Bollman was mo- tified and took charge of the remains. The sight it presented was most sickening one. It was much bloatsd. The face swollen. was crossed by streaks of black and green and had gash under one eye. All about the eyes it was mashed and bruised to degree that may prevent Identification The mouth was twisted and torn. The body is about five feet six inches in height and appeared to be that of a man between twenty and thirty years of age. The face was clean shaven and the hair cut middling short and of light brown color. The clothes consisted of 8 short coat Of brown and black striped goods, with 8 brown checked lining, 8 common blue flannel shirt, and pants of l dark mixed stuff, with Q large, irregular patch | on each knee. The shoes were old and I broken, but had once been pair of button | gaiters. The stockings were white and of l cotton. The man had on no underclothes. The suspenders were old, of light blue color. with ''H. w. Sibley, Now York, '' worked in each suspender with silk. This however, is probably the name of the make, of the suspender. The pockets contained g 1 small penkn1fe with the blade opened, one lead sinker two brass keys, eleven apples anc a dollar bill, a twenty five cent silver piece and two ten cent silver pieces.
 There was a fight at Lighthouse Poin about two weeks ago between party of sail ors from lumber schooner, in which ont was very badly beaten and had to be carried to the boat in which the party came ashore It was coniectured that the body found wa that of the injured Others think tha it may be the body of Kulreade, who was los from the steamer City of Worcester lately The body was brought to the morgue and jury summoned. An autopsy was held.
 | On Wednesday morning Selectman J. k Gould of Belchertown, Mass, chartered th steamer Cecile to cruise in the vicinity 0 Gull Island for the body of Owen kulreade who has been missing from the steamer Cit
 of Worcester since the 10th inst A bod was seen floating near Gull Island by som Waterford farmers last Saturday, and tn steamer went out in the hope of recoverln the body. The search, though persisted l for some time, was not successful.
