APoTHEosIs OF A WEDDING CAKE.
No. 10 is the mammoth copy of we'd
ding cake garnIshment, and must be over
100 feet high, judging from the insignificance
Of the surrounding trees. The monument is

colossal bust of Judas Iscariot; famished
vulture keeps watch over the left doorway,on
the watch for its mate, which, 1t is presumed,
is perched somewhere on the other side.

NIT is a soldier tanning a broncho, badly af-
fected with the string-halt. The same ge-
MUS contributes an extraordinary pile Of
much-mixed orders that might be either a
design for factory or a mosque. A heavy
group Of brick chimneys inclines the amazed
spectator to the belief that the manufactur-
ing idea was the first entertained by the de-
signer, but frieze Of nude female figures
and the minaret finish Of the whole shows
that the architects mind had Mussulmanic
bent.
On the opposite wall, near TO the northern
window, is rough pencil and water-color
sketch, labeled No. A. II represents 'Pe-
quillo" In the second act Of La Perichole,
hiding her face under a wreath and trying
hard, but unsuccessfully, TO keep straight OH
a pedestal under hollow spire. A respect
able-looking gentleman in now suit of
clothes is walking sadly away from the ex-
hibition of weakness with averted face and
detected mein.
AN ARCHITECTURAL oLIo.
Guiteau figures again in No. @, and in No.
Z there is to be seen the gradual petrifaction
of Lots wife in Phrygian cap below and
the representation of w. Z. Sheridan in the
character of ''Shylock" above. The pedes-
tai supporting these future triumphs of the
sculptor's art is enriched with three bas-re-
liefs reproduced in detail on another plan.
Agriculture is represented by q desolate
woman hanging on TO neon in thunder
cloud; Mining is symbolzed by two Aztec
dwarfs struggling with prehistoric imple-
ments, and for Commerce is furnished the
device of lady with parasol backing up
against strong wind, with the pyramids Oh
a couple of sand dunes In the distance.
A memorial hall is the title OF No. II.
Externally it looks like the top story of
Charles Crocker's house, internally it re-
minds one of the art gallery at Woodward's.
Its treasures are full-length statue and two
busts, an unrecognizable trio, the entrance
being guarded by pair Of poodles-cou-
chant.
A few rude crayon strokes and charco al
smudges make up No. 10. A closer inspec-
tion reveals gentleman in an ulsterg glover |
ing among the clouds at three petticoated in
truders upon his solitude, the first of whom |
is called History, for no visible reason; the |
second is chopping bear In two with her
shield, and is styled Eureka; while the third,
entitled Art and Industry, must gain her |
name from the artful and industrious man
ner In which she is picking leaves from
willow.
THE SOUL OF WIT.
A comfortable, well-fed little man on a
pulpit, an Indian with hairy arms, Saturn
sitting uncomfortably on q spade, another
Indian fighting with snake, solitary in
diyidual enjoying walk among the ruins Of
the Forum, and boy driving herd Of pigs
over rail fence, are the salient features in
The plans forming No. o. The originality

Is to be put up "In Memoriam." Believing
