year. Last October it gave an over

majority was scored as the Democratic

THE CURIOUS HOUSE.

/ know house so fair and fine,
No flaw in il can you detect,
A silver beauty smOOths each line
Drawn by its patient architect.
To look upon It's fragile frame
And note it's splcndor in the sun,
No builder known TO human fame
You say can do what this hath done.
1T has no shingle. roof, or beam,
II i not buttressed on the land
Its airy tiiagree and scheme --.-----e
Seem products of fairy's hand.
How swung a'oft, how lightly stayed,
without a window, board or pane
A dream in definite shape arrayed,
A castle from the realms of Spainl
Though Piranesi might despair
It's lines TO mend when once undone,
i see its owner in the air
Across the silver rampartS run.
And when break has crept into
The chcekercd strands that greet the eye
Has made the battle places new
And not a scar can you descry.
On geOmctric curve and coil,
DeW-diamOnde1 beneath the sun,
This little builders wit and toll
Was spent until the work was done,
o silken house of gosSamer,
Thy woven wonder does not cease
And yet the blOOd-stained doors deter
Wayfarcrs fond of life and peace!
No revelerS in those chambers meet,
No iOCUn footsteps jar the floor
For. they who step within retreat
AT once, or leave it nevermOre,

The Biggest Of Statues.

The Bartholdi statue, will be when
set up the largest statue of modern
times, and larger than the most famous
of antiquity: it could hold the Bavaria
of Munich like baby, and it is a giant
compared to the little Colossus OF
Rhodes. When its torch is lighted up
with electricity it will make an i'm
posing appearance.
Some of its dimensions will give an
idea of its immense size. 1t stands
without the coronal 105 feet high; from
the sole of the foot to the end of the
torch is l37 feet: with its pedestal OF 81,
it will be 220 feet high. The Colossus
of Rhodes was o;er 40 feet high, One
of its eyes measures 30 inches from
corner to corner: man six feet tall
standing on the level of the lips would
Just reach the eve brow. Fifteen peO-
pie could sit round the flame of the
torch, and they would reach that eleva-
ton by a spiral staircasein in the uplifted
arm.
This gigantic thing. which is said to
have as whole considerable artistic
merit, is in its construction q hollow
pretenSiOn. 1t is not of solid metal, or
OF thick metal, nor will it be built up of
wood or masonry rs other great stat
ues have been. Something light was
wanted for transportation. and it was
decided to make it of plates of copper
one-eig t of an inch thick, forming an
inner and an outer skin 4 foot apart,
the intermediate space being filled in
with sand. This sandcan be drawn Off,
when it is necessary to make repairs.
The two skins are Kept in place by 4
gigantic frame work of iron, running
from the base to the top. framed square
like lift; and an elevator can be run in
side of *. This solid frame is to be car
ried up into the arm holding the torch.
There are experts who think that this
construction of thin copper and sand
can never stand the winds and the
rough weather; and it is probable that
a cyclone would twist it and scatter it.
The spikes iutting out from the cOronal,
each of which is to be 4 ray of electric
light. gives an odd appearance to the
construction: but it is big, hollow,
pretentious. and we trust not symbolic
of the great city which is the refuge
of all nations and ruled by one.-Hart-
t0rd COurGpt.

Architecture.

| Architecture, like music and the
drama. is an art which needs for each
of its works one composer and many
eXecutantS. If the building. the ora
torio, or the play is to be perfect some
at least of the executants must them
selves be artists. The great difficulty
of the modern architect is that so few
OF the eXecWantS in his heart are any
ihing more than mechanics. A large
proportion of them must have been no
more than this at the best time, and
architecture so far differs from other
arts that for many of its eXecutants no
I more than this is needed. n common
eNcayator, it is evident, can dig u
/ trench. common bricklaver can build
a wall, without needing to have any
thing of the artist in his composition.
As regards the majority of men plain
mechanical work is all they can do,
and all they wish to do. and such work,
! IN the main, is what even the greatest
architectural achievements are made
up of. In stages far above digging and
walling there is very much indeed to
be done that re luires nothing more
than good wOrkmanlike ability. Nearly
all those features of building. very
numerous and very important, which
consist of straight lines and circular
curves, can be perfectly worked from
drawing by any one with fair
mechanical skill The architect has
only to see that they are we'll designed,
and there are plenty of workmen, even
now, who will take care that they are
well executed. But the critical point
is passed when we come to features
which drawing cannot fully explain.
The mechanical workman can produce
from drawings the largest arch-mold-
ing, the most complex nave-pier, the
finest window tracery; and from the
same drawing of such things every
competent workman will produce, prac-
| tically, the same result. The reason is,
that every point about them can be
absolutely fixed and settled by lines and
! figures, and there is therefore no open
| ing in them, or only the smallest con-
ceivable opening for the workman'S art
power, eEen if he has any. But all this
| is changed at once when we come to
! details, which a drawing cannot per-
| fectly explain. The mere mechanic is
equal to the largest geOmetrlcal pat
tern. but not to the smallest piece of
| leaf ornament, much less to ornament
of higher class. All sorts of mysteri-
! Gus reasons have been assigned for the
! difference, because, like Sir Thomas
Browne. art theorists Glove TO lose
| themselves in an D altitudO," and be-
cause the real explanation is too simple
and OhViOuS tO leaVp OOOOrtunitiaS for
fine writing and defamation. The
plain fact, however, is that the mere
mechanic can only 90 with safety as
far us he is guided; that he cannot be
guided, except by way of partial sug-
gcstiOn, where difficult aud complex
forms come in, and that, therefore, in
the latter case an artist-wOrkman is
wanted. who. in his own special de-
partment, can guide himself.-CoHtenl-

Closed Yesterday = The New Nosuvius-
Town Matters.
Yesterday was the closing day of the
Brooke County Fair. The number of PEG
lie in attendance was much larger than on
yesterday, but was scarcely as large as on
some days in preceding years. The trials Of
reed we're almost failures as they were not
interesting. The people presented dusty
and tired appearance. The general op;n-
ION as expressed is that the wellsburg fair
was only a side show in comparison to the
Wheeling fair Of last year. Brooke county
will turn out in large numbers to the
State Fair next week on Wheeling Island.
The gas well at the lower end of town,
known as "Yesuvius No. l." owned by Mr..
Naylor and others, of Wheeling, made a
successful strike on Thursday. The veia
was struck at about the usual depth and the
amount of gas obtained is nearly equal to
the largest wells. The new well sunk by
