The wind was high, and, following the
laying of the corner stone, Captain Hanna
announced that the crowd would repair
to Opera Hall, where the ceremonies
would be completed. In the course OF
fifteen minutes, the hall was occupied.
Geo. S. Emig, Esq, then introduced
Captain Hanna, who proceeded to deliver
an address upon the subject of Architec-
ture.
ADDRESS OF CAPTAIN HANNA.
Among the earliest of arts that awak-
ened the inventive genius in primeval
man, architecture occupies front posi-
ton. Before the human race had fairly
emerged from the mental darkness of alb
solute barbarism, when man was little
more than an animal, crude ideas that
probably contained more of instinct than
reason prompted the effort to provide
some kind of protection from the rains,
the SHOWS, the storms and the comfort
destroying variations OF weather. Prior
to this time, people lived mostly in
mountain caves. But these caves were
limited in number, and existed in partic-
ular localities only. While the people
rapidly increased in number, the caves
did not; and the men and women of that
period soon found themselves in the con-
dition of the modern politicians and Of
fice-seekers, of whom it is often said that
''there are more pegs than holes" There
were, then, more people than caves; and
and it became necessary that the needed
shelter be provided in some other man
ner. Necessity is the mother of inven-
tion," and demand almost invariably
brings supply. The first constructed
dwellings, or shelters were commenced by
planting corner posts in the ground, MAX
ing frame work on the tops and sides OF
smaller poles, boughs Of trees and shrubs,
leaves, bark, grasses, and later skins of
animals, occupying the positions and
performing the duties since assigned to
shingles and Notwithstanding. These
corner posts gave birth to the idea of
pillars, and the base and chapter thereof;
and from these rude and primitive struct-
ures, time and the inventive genius Of
man have evolved the grandest, most
beautiful and most useful of the arts.
It may be matter of surprise that the
use of caves as their earliest dwellings
did not suggest to the aboriginal archi-
tect the construction Of ''dugouts." But
it was not to be SO. That wonderful in
vention was wisely reserved for Kansas.
The dugout is peculiarly Kansas insti-
stitution.
Each succeeding generation improved
upon these residence structures, making
them more durable, more comfortable,
more convenient, and finally more orna-
mental, as repeated experiments suggest
ed new plans and more satisfactory
methods; but ages, even centuries, pass
ed before any really permanent buildings,
or public edi6ces Tor public use were
erected. But these last came in due
time-first, and for mmy centuries,
namely, In the form Of temples erected
and dedicated to the worship Of the true
God, or Of senseless and heakheuish idols.
Public buildings designed for other use
than some kind Of religious worship are
distinctively modern, and this Il especial

Trying to Reform the World.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton recently told
story about the way in which she began
her work OF refoI ming the world. When
sae was girl OF 10 or -, she used to see her
father, Judge Cady, administering law from
the bench She noticed that the judge, in
laying down the law or giving his decision,
always referred to his law books for guidance.
She set To work in his library reading these
books, and as She thought he could not say
anything but what lie found there, she care
fully tore out and burned those pages that
contained principles of decisions OF which she
disapproved. How could he, while on the
bench during trial, make application OF
anything not to be seen in the books by which
he was guided, She discovered great deal
that was offensive in every law book that she
inspected i'll his library. out came the
pages, which she cast into the fire until the
book suited her. aud she felt sure that her
father would be compelled 10 coniue himself
10 such law as she left. She kept on at this
work for long while. until she was caught
at it, but by that time great part of Judge
Cady's law library had been spoiled in her
efforts to reform the world. New York Sun
