THE VANDERBILT MAUsoLeuM.

xigidly Plain and Undecorated-TSs
Architects First Design.
Vanderbilt's mausoleum, out at New
DOrp, Staten island, is one of the finest IN
the world, but 1t is rigidly plain and un-
decorated went out to see il the other
day. The papers here give no adequate
idea of it at all
The architect. Mr.. Hunt, tells me that
when Vanderbilt asked him to prepare
the designs, he "laid himself out" He
was pretty familiar with tomb architec-
ture, besides which he obtained plans Of
the most noted mausoleums in Europe.
and, as Vanderbilt had told him he didn't
care what il cost, he drew elaborate de-
signs for magnificent structure, to cost
$500, 900 or $siDO,0OO IL was much decor
ated and highly ornate.
When Mr.. Vanderbilt saw it he said:
~Why, see here, Hunt, you have entirely
misunde-sto ood me- wouldn't have any
thing fancy like that for anything. We
are plain, quiet, unOstentatious folks, and
the tomb our bodies are to lie in must be
the same. told you / didn't care for
price. sdon't. Iwant it rich and solid,
but no filigree work"
Then the architect began again, and
made design far less pretentious and
snowy. But the mausoleum which Is now
half finished will be far the handsomest
private tomb in America aud will cost
500, 600 or tsOO,000
Mr. Vanderbilt meant to get the family
mausoleum in the Moravian cemetery at
New Dorp, in which SO many of his ances-
tors lie buried. But when he went to the
trustees they asked him $aO,oo0 for plot
Of ground whereon to set it. well,

father gave all the ground to the Gene

did not muse aloud, but he went up on the
hill back the cemetery and bought four
teen acres-a much finer site. 1t was the
architects first plan to have an elaborate
chapel built wholly above ground, but it's
resulted in chapel Of solid granite,
seated on the side hill and overlooking the
sea.

W hat He Struck.

Three years ago an Ohio man began
boring for oil. Plenty of people told him
that he wasn't within 100 miles of the oil
belt, but he set up a derrick. and bored
and drilled. and hung on. When he got
tired of boring in one spot he tried an
other, and il was not until October of last
year that he quit for good
We'll. I ncle ohm. what have you &C.

crossed his hands on the small of his

drill comes out right agin the poorhouse
door. I've struck it plumb center.

While your columns are rendered to the

American and Engiish Tin work.

The United States consumes tin in vast
quantities, one great use for tin plates be-
ing the manufacture Of preserving cans
It is said that upward Of tl2,0OO,OOO per
annum are expended for wages alone in
our various tin-plate factories, while the
sum paid for similar work in Great Brit
ain does not amount to much more than
q, ,OOO, 600. American tin work is very much
lighter, and more graceful than that Of
England, and in England the art of press

Alexander Sands has been conscientious
al along in showing the republican party
the difficulties that rise in the business of
cleansing the senate of the Cincinnati Gan
CREME. OF Thursdays adjournment he laid
down parliamentary law thus:
.-Of course this carried the journal, and Sen
ator Pavey's motion with it. TO the table.
whence it can be taken only by . two-thirds
vote-Whtch can not be secured for IL.
The silly absurdity of supposing that the
Journal could be tabled 50 that it could not
be rcad except by the permission of two
thirds Of the senate was blown to the winds
on Friday: and doubtless Alexander was
rejoiced at his mistake.

Guilty in the way of doing it. He puts the
difficulty in the form Of a conundrum ami

Alexander would like to hope, but the case
seems almost hopeless to him.
The Chicago Herald asks this sarcastic
question:
To come right down to the point Of the
matter. what does the senate think is the rea
son why democratic president boosts repub

Why. the senate thinks the reason is that
he wants to punish republicans and reward
democrats; but he has expressly declared
that that is not the reason. and the senate
wants to prove out Of his own practice that
he lies under mistake. That is why the
senate is bothering him and making him SO
obstinate and mad.
