In its commercial column the Dali
las Uer0td, of August 18th, INDUCES
the following plain talk:
A favorite trick of Hanlan, the great
sculler, is when a length or two ahead
of his gasping competitor, to rest on
his oars and triumphantly wave his
cap to the multitude on snore. Then
with tantalizing squirt, he FORCES
ahead, leaving the other fellow farther
behind and deeper in disgust than
ever. This is u very pretty illustra-
ton of prowess, but it is not beyond
the PROBABILITY that some fine day the
stalwart Canadian will wave his cap
too often and thus allow his antng
onist TO win the laurel and pocket the
ducats. Sell-coniideuce and IL he
coming reliance on natural advan-
tageso are important factors in the
successes OF individuals, communities
and cities, but when these degenerate
! into blind disregard of the dangers
4 of the situation and an inadequate
/ perception OF the merits and eXertions
| of n competitor there are breakers
ahead, ana it is time to put the ship on
another course. The race is
swift, that is IL the swift
"hunlps' himself, or itself, but there
are several lanentahle Instances on
record where n bad second has been
scored on account of oyerweening
confidence. The most dangerous

! vidual, is when success seems AS
sured. The swing stride subsidies into

the despised but crafty competitor, a
dead sure winner. You know you

TRR WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

The sensation OF going up hundreds OF
feet suspended by rope into an awful
blaokness and silence of the stone that
would crush anything human into Jelly
upon which it fell, is simply indescribable.
The higher one goes the more the sense of
horror increases, until the last hundred
feet are made in the midst of fearful ST.
lence, no matter how merry the party was
on starting. It takes six minutes to get
to the top, and it feels like six hours. Ar
rived there, the stepping out into air and
light reveals pallid faces and trembling
limbs on the part OF the excursionists. The
only thing that maintains its proportions is
the Capitol, which appears even grander
from that elevation. The noble hight of
Capitol Hill is then realized; the great
white dome seems nearer, larger than can
be imagined, and stands out magnificently,
dwarfing every other object in the horizon
into insignifcsnce. 1t seems as if there
were but two objects in existence there
the mighty shaft and the glorious dome.
Around the obelisk is wire netting to
rescue such chance tools and garments
which the high wind always prevailing up
there may blow away. The workmen
show the usual Indifference of their craft
to the enormous hight at which they work,
and frequently eat their lunches sitting on
the outer edge of the monument, with their
feet hanging $50 feet from the ground. A
young woman some time since went up to
the top and plunged headlong into the net,
"just for fun" Most men would prob
ably declare that the young person had
just little too much nerve. The site was
selected by General Washington himself as
the place where a great marble shaft COM
memorating the Revolution should be put.
