From the Washington Star.I
 A Star reporter saw fat eolored woman the other day standing in the passage about third of the way up the dome. She was dressed gorgeously in purple bombazine, and carried hand bag and cotton umbrella. She weighed about two hundred and fifty pounds.
 s'Laws, ohile," she said in frightened whisper, sT heahs voices. Dis buildin' is jes' full ob voices. Dey's ebrywhar bout. An them ohilluns done gone up an lief me, and yer is. Nun, I don' much like dem voicesl Ise afeard I'll nebber git out ob dis.n She was trying to be calm with great effort.
 "Dese voices" are great source of fear and superstition to simple-minded visitors. Cuontry colored people particularly are frightened at the voices they hear among the clustering columns and arehed passages. Sometimes the voices come up from under the feet, sometimes from the solid stone arches overhead. Again they sound from among the shadows in corner where nobody is. They are heard in the crypt, still more mysteriously in the old hall, where there are plenty of people stirring around in Q flood of sunlight, and more strangely still in the great dome, from whose height men have

committed suicide. The building is always full of echoes. "Dese voices are ebery whar1 With these many of the employees of the Capitol and others fond of practical joking play upon the nerves of the super stitious co1ored@ people. Sometimes the jokes are played on people who are not superstitious. The saucer-1ike canopy, upon which the great allegory roofing the rotunda is painted, acts as 8 sounding board, and will convey the least whisper with perfect distinction from any place in the upper gall lery to point opposite.
 When sentimental couples get close to- gether in this circular gallery and lean over the rail, watching the people moving about on the floor of the rotunda below, and whis- pering gentle things to each other, meant for no ears but their own, they are often overheard by innocent looking young men who happen to be lolling on the opposite side of the gallery, as far away as possible. most inopportune remark sounded in their
 ears when no one is near them. At most tender moment an irreverent or jocular re- mark is startling to their sense of security. When parties of tourists climb up to the dome they are often astonished to be ad- dressed by name in the most familiar way
 by 8 voice from one of the allegorical
 terrors painted on the canopy above. Some
 times they are invited to come up and take lunch. A party of Ohio people were in the gallery talking to each other about their home matters. A young man on the other side of the gallery listened until he got the names of several of the party. Then he called out, ''Is that you, Mir. Blsnkt
 Why, how do you doa Come up here; we have lunch here for Ohio folks" The voice apparently came through the canopy, from some chamber still higher up. They were not astonished that the Government should make especial provision for the entertain ment of Ohio folks, and they promptly &C., cepted the invitation. The whole party trudged up the very steep and dangerous flight of stairs leading up to the worm-jight, at the head of which they were met with notice: "Visitors not permitted to go higher" And there was no lunch anywhere in sight. Some of the ladies were anxious to got down as soon as possible.
 Two colored men leaned oyer the rail under the great allegory and talked about LynchbHrg, whispering mysteriously about things strictly private to themselves. A young man lolled against the rail just ops posite them-too far away to hear. They did not mind him. Directly voice came out of one of the painted figures over their heads, warning them to go back to Lynchburg, sur- render themselves, and repent of their wrong doing.
 'Was it murder?' the voice inquired.
 'sDe good Lodi" cried the two trem- bling men, as they made a break for the stairs.
 Another very old ex-slave was accused by voice that apyeared to come from the mouth of the figure supposed to look like Jeff Davis of being fa runaway nigger," and threaten ed with the whipping post and a return to slavery. These things surround the dome with mystery, but such would not be per- mitted if the perpetrators could be caught at

In conseG uence OF. the continued I'M
settled state OF the weather, and the
precarious condition Of the crops, his
Grace the Archbishop of Dublin has
issued directions to the clergy of his
diocese for the saying of special prayers
in the Mass for a favorable change.
Commenting on the gift of 5000
from the Irish National League Of
America to the Irish Parliamentary
Fund, the Dublin Freeman's Journal
says: ut is impossible to speak too
highly either of the sympathetic vigi'
lance of the organizers Of the American
League, or of the liberality OF It's mem

the Irish Party has been unainching.
constant, and more than generous. To
the constitutional cause at home here
it has beer inestimably valuable"
The reports Of the Dublin Freeman's
correspondents throughout the country
as to the state Of the crops are certainly
not reassuring, though happily the
gloomy outlook is not general, and many
parts Of the country have, on the whole.
been favored with an abundant harvest.
An almost unanimous complaint is ex-
pressed as to the condition of the potato
crop. The blight is almost everywhere
apparent. Many, however, believe that
return Of warm weather will lessen
the evil consequences of the incessant
rains. There is, nevertheless: uauch
more reason that a spell OF warm
weather cannot repair the injury done.
Cereals give promise Of a fair average,
though Of course the yield has been
considerably diminished by the rains.
AS to the hay crop unfortunately a
chorus of complaint comes. The plu-
vial condition of the weather mas caused
sad havoc to this crop Large quanti-
ties have rotted and heavy foods in
some places have done considerable
damage. In q few exceptional districts
the picture is not So black, aud large,
if not an abundant, hay crop has beea
vouchsafed. Many districts In the
west of Ireland will sorely feel the eff
fects of bad potato crop. 1t is their
chief reliance, and for the wretched
peasants the prospect Is calculated to
cause them dismay. Their misfor-
tunes do not come singly, and Distress
ing reports reach us OF the grent scarcity
of turf. Owing to She heavy rains it
has been found impossible to make pro-
vision for the winter, the peat abogs
being generally swamped. Consistent
