Nearly S2.6OO,0OO has been spent on the Cologne Cathedral sInce 1864. The last sheds are now being taken down and tho terrace in front of the venerable pile will speedily be put in order. That done, the cathedral may be considered finished without and within, the new Tagging alone excepted. For tho tearing down of the incumbrances on the western side $120,000 is still on hand. Double that sum will probably be needed and the lacking funds be obtained by another and last lottery.

The marble palace on Fifth avenue,
New York, which was erected by the
late A. T. Stewart at a cost of 81 ,0O0,-
600. and which contains paintings and
statuary valued at an equal sum, not
to mention the elaborate furniture,
the golden chandeliers, and other
items that are worth fortunes, is but
mausoleum now. The widow occu-
pies it alone, for she has no one whose
society she enjoys. Her niece, who
lived with her for time, is married
and remains in Europe, for she is said
to dread the lonesome house, where
the windoW-curtains have not been
raised for years, and which, to all
outside appearances, is unoccupied.
But Mrs. Stewart, weak and with

by anarmy of servants. She never

at his house, which is only few
doors away, but never goes even that

trusty servants. Her millions are
burdens to her, and her life could not

PhOtOgraphing the Baby.

Most young married couples have

when they have twins. Then they
have two first babies. The first baby
Is always remarkable child. Such
physical beauty, such intellectual
quickness and genius, and such moral
perfection were never before united
in one being. Other babies may be
all very well in their way. but this
first baby is something peculiarly
marvellous. All its aunts rave over
it. and even its uncles are moved to
say: "Keecher - keeCher -keecher =
keecher," and chuck it under the
chin with fore-fnger, by way of
ingratiating themselves with the in

OF course, the fond parents think
that the infant must be photograph
ed. The world at a distance should
not be denied the opportunity of gaz-

should be kept of its loveliness. So
some fine sunshiny day they go to

Immediately begins to quarrel and
fret and look less beautiful than usual,
although he is all dressed up in his
best clothes. He wants things he
sees in the photographers showcase,
and not obtaining them begins loud
ly to protest. He refuses to yield
to pacfieatory Establishments. and
Observation-Disclosures fails to
soothe. AT last his turn comes. The
mother wants him in certain posi-
ton. The photographer dosn't ap-
prove Of that position, and the baby
won't have it. Finally a compro-

jingles bell, clucks like hen, and
raps with a stick all at once, hoping
thereby to attract the attention of the
first baby; but when the picture
comes out, there are found three or
four impressions everything oneanoth-

A third picture is attempted, when,
at the critical moment, the baby sets

rosy hours beguiled.
At last, good picture is obtained

A New EIephant Story.

The Rev. Mr.. Watson gives a very
curious story in illustration of this
animals wonderful long memory OF
a wrong suffered. One of those pests
of society. "a practical joker" visited
a caravan in a West of England fair,
and tried his stupid tricks upon an
elephant there. IIe first doled out
to it some gingerbread nuts, and
when the grateful animal was thrown
off its guard, he suddenly proffered it
a large parce. wrapped in paper.
The unsuspecting creature accepted
and swallowed the lump, but imme-
diately began to exhibit signs of in
tense suffering, and snatched up
bucket handed it to the keeper for
water. This being handed to it, it
eagerly swallowed quantities of the
fluid. "Ha !" cried the delighted
joker, ~ guess those nuts were a
tritie hot, old fellow" "You had
better be off," exclaimed the keeper,
"unless you want the bucket at your
head" The fool took the hint only
just in time, for the enraged animal
having finished the sixth bucketful,
hurled the bucket after its tormentor
with such force that had he fingered
moment longer his life might have
been forfeited. The affair had not,
however. yet concluded. The fol
lowing year the show visited the
same town, and the foolish joker, like
men of his genius, unable to profit
by experience, thought to rer eat his
stupid trick on the elephant. He
took two lots of nuts into the show
with him-sweet nuts in one pocket
and hot in the other. The elephant
had not forgotten the jest played
upon him, and therefore accepted the
cakes very cautiously. At last the
joker proffered a hot one; but no
sooner had the injured creature dis
covered its pungency than it siezed
hold of its prosecutor by the coat
tails. hoisted him up by them, and
held him until they gave way, when
he fell to the ground. The elephant
now inspected the severed coat tails
which, after he had discovered and
eaten all the sweet nuts, he tore to
rags and flung after their discounted

we're removed from here to the capital of
Virginia The little State-house from which
| they were transferred stands on the summit
of a hill, and overlooks the town and sur
rounding country. 1t is a neat and cheerful
looking structure, and its size, commanding
location and general appearance invite the
traveller to inquire into the tradi lions it
wear. 1t has curious ones, to be sure, and
if its walls could only speak of what has
been said and done wittin them, how the
world would hurry to hear the storyl 1t was
for quite n time the captol building for the
eleven States that wanted new government
with bondsman as its cornerstone. Here
JEFF Davis was inaugurated and the Confed-
crate Congress met to make laws and discuss
the details Of the impending conflict. In
this very house differences sprang up be-
tween the leaders that, Alexander H. Ste
phens once told me, CLEARLY demonstrated
that the Confederacy could not live, even if
it were successful in its efforts to dissolve
the Union. Each State had its whims and
prejudiceS which it would not forego for the
general good"
Alabama's capitol building is but one of
many interesting relics of those exciting
days that are to be found here The old
warehouse that was converted into the exec
utive departments of the new venture in
government making still stands. The old
bank where itss first fiscal operations were
conducted is yet intact. and the old banker

scattered monuments of that supreme folly.
