The Washington Monument

1t may be mentioned as an interest.
ing feature in Judge Marshall's history
that he was the protector of the Wash
ington Monument. The facts are as
follows: The City of Washington had
just been occupied as the National Capt.
tai when the Father OF his Country
was removed 10y death. When the sad
event occurred Joint Committee OF
Senate and House was appointed 10
consider a suitable mode for COM
memorating General Washington.
John Marshall, as Chairman of this
Committee, presented a resolution "that
a marble monument be erected at the
City OF Washington, and that the family
OF George Washington be requested to
permit his body TO he deposited under
it, and that the monument be 80 designed
as to commemorate the great events Of
his military and political life." 1t was
also resolved that Mrs. Washington
should be entreated to give her assent
to the interment of the General in the
above mentioned manner. The funeral,
however, was over, and the General had
been buried in the family vault before
this communication was received, and
the idea of removal of the remains
was very distressing to the i,lustrious
widow. She replied, however, in an
letter to the President, in
which she submitted to the national
request, but added, Gin doing this, l
need not, cannot say what sacrifice
of personal feelings 1 make to sense
of public duty" The request was
therefore waived out of respect for this
truly noble womao, but the monument
has always been a popular idea aud
will eventually reach completion.

Petroleum IN Mexico.

Petroleum has been discovered in the
State of Chiapas, Mexico, but oil de-
posits are so far distant from any prac-
ticable means of communication that
their utility must remain dormant until
the time when railways shall penetrate
southwestern Mexico. OIL is also re-
ported to flow from spring in the centre
of the great lake of Chapala, on the
borders OF the states of Jalisco and
Michoacan. The usefulness of this
spring must remain undemonstrated for
years to come. Meantime, the oil de-
posts ID the State of Vera Cruz, now be
ing d=vsIoHed by Boston company,
must form the reliance of the natives,
to whom the discovery of petroleum is
of great Importance. Should the fuel
question rema unsUlved by the dis
coYery of abundant and accessible coal,
the introduction of the American patent
oil stoves would afford large profits to
their manufacturers. The matter of
fuel supply for cooaing purposes is one
which is every day discussed by the
Mexican press both Of the capital and
of the provinces.

Flying Machines for lar Uses.

Germany and Russia are both push
ing forward experiments i'll flying ma
chimes for use in war or otherwise.
1t appea that the direction in which
these are working is the only one likely
to be successful. 1t ignors the ridicu-
lous inflated gas-bag, which is enor-
nous in size, difficult and costly to fill
in war, and foats-a gigantic derelict-
at the mercy of every current of air, a
huge mark for the first gunner who can
hit and bring it to the ground. Baum
garien in Ge many and Baranovski in
Russia adapt the principle of the In
clined plane pressed against the air;
and thus capable of making some at
tempt at least to regulate It's OWE
course. In the kite the force that
presses the inclined plane is the hand VI
a boy acting through the string. In
the sail of boat the resistance of the
water to sidelong motion keeps the sails
pressed against the wind. In flying
machines the pressure is gwen by an
engine carried by the machine and
acting by means of fans of one sort OF
the other. The difficulty at present is
the weight of engin. and fuel; but with
the development of electrical practical
knowledge we may fairly expect to see
accumuIators which will supply the
maximum of power with the minimum
of weight. Then the problem of flying
in still air will be solved. Whether We
shall ever be able to ride the storm is
another matter.

Up the Hudson.

The beautiful aud varied scenery along
the Hudson river Is familiar to all sum-
mer tourists. But the constantly chang
ing lights and shades cannot be studied
from a railway car flying along at a speed
OF forty miles an hour. The travelling
public will. therefore, be gratihed TO know
that the passenger department OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will ON
July lst again place upon this popular
route the magnificent steamer Richard
Stockton, owned by them. and make re-
gular excursions to West Point Newburg
and Iona Island during the summer sea-
son. The boat has been put I'm complete
repair and subjected TO a rigid inspection
30 that comfort and safety are insured.
Its speed has been increased and six
natalie life boats, SIX Woo!sey life buoys
with 1900 new life preservers have been
provided, furnishing provision for over
1000 passengers, while the carrying
capacity Is only 1000. The time OF leaV-
Ing Pennsylvania Railroad docks, Jersey
City, WIN be Zine o'clock every morning,
including Sunday, and arriving time on
the return trip at Jersey City, 8 80 p. u.
Connection may be made with regular
Pennsylvania Railroad trains every day
rs far west as Trenton, and with special
train every Thursday, from Broad street,
KenSington Station, or foot of Market

points on the New York and Amboy Diyi-
sion.
Good meals are served on board. The
refreshment privileges are retained by the
Company, and no intoxicating liquors are
sold, consequently perfect order ID pre-

merit of economy which is q consideration

children between the ages OF 8 and II

JOY AFTER SORROW.

II NAV be shat the sunshine
Would not seem so fair and bright
IL before the rosy dawning
We had not known the night.
Mayhap the dome of heaven
Might not stretch so calm and blue,
II we had not seen the storm-cloud
With its dark and somhre hue.
IL the home-returning sailor
Had not heard the billow's roar
Not with such glad thanksgiving
Would he view his native shore.
SO our Father sends the tempest
OF his Christening, stern and wild,
Till IL seems like angry vengeance
Falling on his helpless child:
That when heaven shall dawn upon uS
Through the funess of His grace
Brighter we shall see his glory,
Clearer shall behold his face.

evidence (Which was not before the court mar

suffered fearful wrong
Gen. Grant says that the criticism which Por-
