Wonderful Towers.

The ancient city of Pisa, Italy, is famous
for its lofty and magnificent structures,
some Of which have very interesting histo-
ries. None Of them, however, is so won
derful as the celebrated leaning tower.
This building was commenced in 1174 by
a Pisan architect, named BONANZA, by
William of Innspruck. 1t is Of cylindrical
form, one hundred and seventy mine feet
high, fifty feet in diameter, and leans twelve
feet nine inches from the perpendicular. 1t
consists of eight stories, each of which has
an outside gallery projecting from it.
From the summit, which is reached by
several hundred steps, beautiful and ex-
tensive view may be had of the surround
ing country. The misconstruction was
discovered before the tower was finished,
and the upper tiers were so shaped as to part
ly counteract the arcuation. At the top Of
the tower seven immense bells were so plac-
ed as, by their weight, to counterbalance
the leaning of the tower.
The highest tower in the world is at
Cremnoa, in Northern Italy; it is three
hundred and ninety-six feet high. It was
begun in 1888, and the bells which are in
it were cast in 1873. An astronomical
clock, made in the year 1894, is placed in
the third story The Florentine companiie
was commenced in 1884, by Giotto, the
great painter, architect and sculptor. He
commenced the erection of the tower with
the determination to surpass all the ancient
structures of this kind, both in height and
in richness of design. But Giotto having
died in 1886, the tower was completed by
Tadden Gaddi Its height is two hundred
and seventy-six feet and it is divided into
four tiers. 1t is of equal dimensions from
bottom to top, and is built on the italian
Gothic style. On the basement floor there
are two rows of tablets of relief; they are
the work of Giotto. There are also many
beautiful statues on the upper tier. 1t was
the original design of Giotto to have aspire
surmount the present tower, and the col
umns which were to support it may still be
seen on the top of the building.
The famous tower known as Giralda, is
situated at Sevelle, Spain. This tower,
when originally built by Philip Guevana,
the Moor, was only two hundred and fifty
feet high. But in 1868, magnificent
belfry, one hundred feet high, was added,
and it is now the second highest in the
world The campanile was called Giralda
because of the brazen weathercock in its
top story. Although the figure weighs a
ton and half, it is easily turned by the
wind.
It is said that very fine campanile
was situated at Salisbury, England. 1t is
supposed to have been two hundred feet
high, and was probably destroyed by Sir
William Wyatt, the younger, while leading
an insurrectionary mob.

BOIL 1T DOWN.

Whatever you have to say. my friend,
Whether witty, or grave, or gay.
Condense as much as ever you can,
And say it the readiest way;
And whether you write of rural affairs,
Or matters and things in town,
Just take q word of friendly advice
Boil it down.
For if you go spluttering over page,
When u couple of lines woulddo,
Your butter is spread so much, you see,
That the bread looks plainly through;
So. when you have a story to tell,
And would like a little renown.
To make quite sure Of your wish, my friend,
Boil it down.
When writing an article for the press,
Whether prose or verse, just try
To settle your thoughts in the fewest words,
And let them be crisp and dry;
And when it is finished, and you suppose
1t is done exactly brown,
Just look it over again, and then
Boil it down.
For editors do not like to print
An article lazily long,
And the general reader does not care
For-a couple of ,-arsis of song.
So gather your wits in the smallest space,
fyou want little renown,
And every time you write, my friend,
Boil it down.

Political Notes.

The Freie Zeitung, of Newark, heretofore
the German Republican organ of New Jer-
sew, has come out against the Republican
nominee for Governor on account of the tenn
perance plank in the platform at the late
Convention.
Alf Taylor had to retire from the joint can
vass with his brother Bob, the Democratic
nominee for Governor of Tennessee. His
throat became sore and he was also afflicted
with bone felon. Alf will not be elected,
but he has had lots of fun. Bob has not only
had as much fun as Alt, but will be governor
besides. Aft will have the distinction of be-
ing brother to the Governor.
The Republican conferees of the Tenth
Pennsylvania District met in Bethlehem on
Saturday afternoon. As no Republican would
accept the nomination, resolution, was
adopted endorsing Sowden, the Democratic
candidate, for reelection.
James G. Blaine on Monday started on his
tour through the interior of Pennsylvania.
He spoke at Downingtown, Lancaster and
Harrisburg, and was welcomed by large and
enthusiastic gatherings of the Republican
party.

Marriage of Maryland's Governor.

Hon. Henry Lloyd, Governor of Maryland,
was married on Monday morning last, at half
past six o'clock, in Christ Protestant Episco-
pal Church, Cambridge, to Miss Mary Eliza
beth Staplefort, by Rev. T. P. Barber, rector
of the church Shortly before halfp six
o'clock the groom, accompanied by his brother
and best man, Upshur Lloyd, of Baltimore,
arrived at the church and entered the vestry-
room from Church street, where he awaited
the coming of the bride. Promptly at half
past six the organ, presided over by Mrs. S.
/. Buck, pealed forth Memberships Wed
ding March, and the bride and attendants
entered from High street in the following
order: First, ushers, Messrs. John R. Patti
son, Levin II. Henry, Ogle Steele and Guy
Bryan; second, Miss Josephine Staplefort,
sister of the bride, and Mr.. Edward Stirling;
third, the bride and her uncle, Rev. James l..
Bryan. After the English custom, the groom
met the bride at the chancel steps and es-
corted her to the altar, the attendants standing
in order on either side. The ceremony was
deeply impressive.
The bride, who is twenty years OF age, is a
pronounced blonde, and is also an acknowl-
edged beauty. She was becomingly attired
in a travelling dress of plum colored camel S
hair, with diagonal front of striped plush and
short basque, with striped plush vest. She
wore plum colored felt hat, trimmed with
plush and gray wings, and tan colored gloves.
The groom wore dark gray travelling suit,
without gloves, and black cravat.
Gov. Lloyd has been overwhelmed with
congratulations from all parts of the State.
The wedding presents were also numerous and
costly, and some of them striking in beauty
and novel in design. Among them were the
following: A magnificent silver tureen and
salver, presented by the Governors staff. and
accompanied with letter of congratulation
from Col. Love, secretary, and set of large
oxydized silver mantel ornaments, consisting
of clock and two urns, from Attorney General
and Mrs Chas. B. Roberts.
Owing to the recent death of Gov. Lloyd's
mother the wedding was as unostentatious as
possible, and no invitations were issued.
