parents were those at the head OF
afTairs"-which meant delivering up
Falerii itself.
But the cowardly knave had mistaken
the Roman leader. "Wicked," cried
Camillus, "as thou art, thou hast come
with thy villainous offering neither to
people nor commander like thyself." "
He continued, that they were not bar
barians to carry on war in such shame
full way, that there were claws of war
as well as of peace" and he said If he
conquered Falerii at all, he should do 1t
"by Roman arts, by bravery, labor and
by arms"
Then he called to his lictors, who bore
the bundles of rods, ordered the masters
clothes stripped of, his hands tied be-
hind him, and, giving each child rod,
told them to whip him back to Falerii;
and he sent an escort Of Roman SOL
diers with them. 1t was the most igno-
minious punishment, and the boys
knew 1t.
1t had become known in Falerii that
the children were gone, and how they
went and where. The news spread from
house to house, and the mothers flew,
as If their feet had wings, along the
streets, filling the air with lamentations.
They wrung their hands, implored the
gods: Bring back our children" and
then wildly called their names: 10 my
Proclus, 0 my boy, o my childr' 20
my Aruns!" 80 my lost son, my Mar
cus!' And those other mothers, whose
children were safe at home, broke in
with imprecations and words of pity, so
that, what with the walls and shrieks,
the voices in rage, in terror, in anguish
and despair, a mighty cry went up.
The mothers were already outside
the gates, and would have rushed
straight on to the Roman camp, for
cohort Of soldiers could not have kept
them back, when the children were
seen advancing, driving before them
the abject master. Their shrill voices
could be heard now taunting, now
cheering, and presently the blare OF
trumpets and huzzas of men, as the
Roman soldiers came on rending the
air with cheers.
1.-The Romans are upon usl" cried
the Falerians; "guard the gate! Com
pei the women to go backn'
But at that moment the children be.
gan to shout the name of Camillus,
" our father, our deliverer, our bene-
factor!" and it became clear that this
was no hostile force, and soon the truth
was told.
The Falerians were overwhelmed
with gratitude. From every quarter
they assembled in the market-place;
they heard over and over, and never
tired of hearing, the story of the boys.
1t was thing so extraordinary that the
Senate was called together, and moth.
ing was heard but praise of Camillus.
Such magnanimity, such generosity,
such honor! They "cried up the
Roman faith, the justice of the com.
mander;" and with one consent, as
soon as possible, they sent messengers
to him, and then to Rome, delivering
up Falerii-for they would be Roman
subjects or allies of Rome-saying
"Conscript fathers, send men to receive
our arms, our hostages, our city with
its gates thrown open. amanda B.

THE CAPITOL DOME.
How the Great frleze In the Capitol at
Washington VIII BE Completed.
tWaahIn0tnn gnacIaI
Washington Special ]


Some time ago It was announced that
work upon the great historical frieze which
runs around the wall Of the Capitol dome
was suspended for want OF suitable sub
jects with which TO ill about seventy five
feet OF space which must be occupied be-
fore the frieze Is complete. The fact Is on
ly one subject was wanted and that has
been supplied, the selection being the cere-
mony Of driving the last spike in the Pa
ciflc Railroad, which first bound the At
lantic and Pacific seaboards together. At
this ceremony many notable persons were
assembled, who are put in the foreground
OF the cartoon. The last subject on which
the artist was engaged, and which is not
yet finished, Is the "Death Of Tecumseh." ;"
Following this the capitulation at the City
OF Mexico will be illustrated, General Scott
being represented receiving the keys Of the
city. After this will come an Illustration
of the discovery Of gold In California, and
the driving Of the last spike will COM
plete the work. Cartoons for all Of
these subjects, excepting the last, were
drawn by tho late Mr.. Brumidi, who
painted the allegorical fresco on tho ceiling
of the dome. Since Brumidi's death Mr..
Costigini has taken up the work, and the
drawing Of the final cartoon Is by him.
Mr.. Costiglni is now engaged upon the
Senate chamber at Harrisburg, but is ex-
pected to return soon, when he will pro-
ceed TO finish the frieze.
A deal of frescolng has been done In the
Senate wing during the summer. In the
basement corridors some excellent work
has been done by Mr.. Carstine, who planned
the corridor decorations twenty five years
ago. The cloak-room and post-ofllce Of the
Senate have also been frescoed. The
foundation for that portion Of the marble
terrace which extends along the north end
of the Senate wing is being laid, and Archi-
tect Clark thinks that IL will be finished to
the extent indicated before the winter Gets
In. About thirty feet In depth Of the
earthen terrace has been dug away, up to
the Capitol walls, exposing the rough sub
structure which at this depth is about eight
feet thick. All Of this work Is done under
the supervision Of Mr.. Edward Clark, who,
as assistant and Superintendent, has been
engaged at the Capitol for nearly forty
wears.

"No, but friend Of mine, who was a
brakeman on the Virginia Midland Rail-

he is still on the road"
"What was the adventurep
"Well, you must know before the war
there was burial ground little way be-
yond Alexandria, and one night some
grave robbers went and dug up three
bodies and stuffed them into -four barrel.
They then carried the barrel to the depot
and shipped it TO Washington as freight.
Well, Peyton was in the baggage-ca
seated on another barrel, with the one con-
tanning the stolen bodies standing near
and In front OF him. He was in deep
thought, and being vexed with some one,
at once proceeded to administer the person

but the barrel in front, the lid Of which,

vertlsements placed around the vehicle,
reading them with much difficulty, and ap-
parently little satisfaction. Then he be-

turned no answer to this query, and the
corpulent Dutchman turned to the conduc-

"Five cents TO everyone" answered that
worthy, as though he was making vast
