jay Gould's Mausoleum.

The Gould mausoleum in Woodland
Cemetery, n. Y, is SO far on the way
to completion that on Thursday last the
final roof slab was set in place. Work
on the interior decoration has begun.
The structure is impressive by reason
of its simplicity, harmony of design
and massiveness. Its form is that of q
Ionic temple, raised on a platform
three steps above the level of the
sward surrounding it. The working
men say that the foundation of the
platform is a mass of concrete, that
makes it practically a single stone
eight feet in thickness, by thirty-six or
more in length, and twenty eight in
width. The structure is wholly of finely
hammered Westerly granite, without
single band or panel, or other surface
that is polished. Thirty graceful
columns, eleven feet high, by thirteen
inches in diameter, surround the mau-
soleum, and add to the support OF it's
massive roof.
Space for twenty bodies is afforded
within. In the front of the tomb will
be 81 bronze door of Grccian design.
pierced SO as to afford Il view of the
interior. A window representing i
choir of angels will occupy the space
now left in the rear wall. 1t is under
stood that the inner walls will be of
delicately shaded marble, arranged so
rs to present simple and pleasing
effects. No brick or metal is employed
in the construction of the tomb except
ing the bronze door and the necessary
lead in the window. 1t stands in the
center of circular plat of three or four
acres on the highest ground in the
cemetery, in Lawn avenue, near Cen
tral avenue, and is surrounded only
by grass, not a single tree or shrub as
yet rising on the ground.

Probably the oldest tree in New Eng
land is an elm situated at Pettaconset,
4. l. An old record kept by Il person
in that city and now ninety years of
age, and handed down to her by her
ancestors, furnishes the fact that 200
years ago this tree was planted where
1t now stands. The circumference of
this tree at the butt measures twenty
SIX feet, and It holds nearly the same
measurement to the limbs, about thirty
feet. The limbs are rs large as Il man $
Dody, very long and very crooked.
They hold their full size nearly to the
end, with only few small branches,

Mr.. Frank M. Clark, United States
Fish Commissioner, is stopping at the
Boody for few days while inspecting
Commercial Telegram representative
called upon Mr.. Clark TO learn some
thing of the work that is being done by
the commission.
''Our principal work. said Mr.
Clark, sis the gathering and Matching
of the eggs Of the whitefish, brook
trout, and California trout | am now
engaged in gathering whitefish eggs
and placing them in the hatcheries at
Alpena and Worthwhile. Their capacity
ut Alpena is IS, 900, 900, and the North
vile hatchery 125, 900, 900 eggs, and we
expect to fill them both this season.
We were very successful last year, and
stocked the waters of the lakes with
some fine fish. The catch this year at
Alpena and Saginaw Bay is the largest
ever known, and it is due, SO the fish
ermen say. to the plants that we made
there Lake st. Clair and the Detroit
river are doing well also. We have
now been at work for three years, and
the fish are large enough to catch the
fall after they are two years old. L
have now at Worthwhile some whiteish
hatched last March. They are now
eight inches long and doing well, and
l anu closely watching their develop
ment. The United States Commission
have men stationed all along the lakes
gathering the eggs, and we intend to
gather more eggs than the three states
combined that have hatcheries. Mich
igan has capacity for 60,000.0 900, Ohio
little over 60, 100000 and Wisconsin
about 30,000,000. We will put up
15O,000,000 at least. My department
includes the lakes and the shad-fsher-
les. l have just received word from
the London Fisheries Exhibition that [
have been awarded several medals, di-
plomas and prizes on my alcoholic dis
play of preserved fish and other things.

Sealskin and Matrimony.

She left him for sealskin sacque.
Such is the popular verdict in a recent
divorce case, though the records read
another way. What is there in that
garment which makes it SO wonderful
to the feminine eye? Its rich, brown
hue, its softness to the touch, are unde-
niable advantages, but it does not be-
come every one. 1t is too often a mere
fur bag that overloads and overwhelms
a pretty figure. 1t is TOO valuable to
be ripped up by every owner, and alter
ed with the changing fashions. Gnar'l-
ed ever SO tenderly, it is invaded by
the moth that gnaws and rubbed bare
by the most delicate neck and chin. Is
it 81 badge of wealth? No; almost every
woman scrapes to get one. 1t can be
had on the installment plan at double
its value. That is against it. Why,
then, make home unhappy for such an
article? We may be preaching in vain,
but better thousand times wear plush
with honest pride than blush IN seal
skin.-Net0 York Morning Journal

The exceedingly delicate photographs

The exceedingly delicate photographs
colored on glass which have recently
come into fashion are produced by
fixing paper photograph upon cush-
ion-shaped glass with transparent ce
ment aud when it is dry rubbing away
two-thirds of the photograph with
sandpaper. The thin film left is then
rendered transparent by soaking in
melted paratline wax, after which
transparent colors are applied, which
appear softened down when looked at
from the front.

TaE Cincinnati Enquirer Wednes-
day contained six columns Of sem
sation in regard to the Ashland crime,
for which Ellis has been hung and
Craft condemned TO death with Neal
sure to follow, a dozen or more inno-
cent people killed and wounded and
the State taxed to the amount of over
100000. The gist of the long story
is that Detective Burnett has, after
two years Of unceasing labor, found
that his theory of the murder is cor
rest by arresting negro in Columbus,
o., who was found with a ring and 9th
err jewelry belonging to the dead girls
and who after seeing that denial was
of no avail confessed that he and two
other negroes committed the rape and
murder and that Neal, Craft and FL
lis are innocent men. 1t is believed
at Ashland at Catlettsburg, and coin
cided in elsewhere, that the whole
matter has been engineered to save
the necks of the miserable rascals,
who from the evidence adduced before
two juries, SO richly deserve the death
fixed for their crimes.

Mt Sterling Wednesday. John Bar
nett, who was ON trial for the murder
Of Vaughan Helton, finding that one
Of his party had turned States evi.
dence, withdrew his plea Of not guilty
and pleading guilty threw himself on
the mercy Of the jury, which after a
short retirement, returned a verdict
Of imprisonment in the pcnitentiary
for life. His confederates, FIVE in
number, put up the same plea and
the same jury in less than an hours
time, had given all Of them life SEN
fences for the cowardly murder. Jus
tice to be effective must be quick and
sure and these trials will do much to
restore law and order in that lawless
region.
