a BIG GATHERING ,F GOVERNORS.

At no former time or on any occasion
were so many Governors congrcgated as
at Washington this week. New York,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Missouri, North
Carolina, New Jersey, Rhoue Island,
Maine, Maryland. Delaware, Connccti-
cut, New Hampshire, Arkansas, Wiscon-
sin, kentucky, Iowa, and several of the
Territories were all represented by their
Governors or proXys. The occasion was
20 adopt measures for the esection of u
mammoth memorial structure commemo-
rative of the settlement OF tins country
and the origin and progress of the Nation.
A bill was drawn up and unanimously
adopted. asking Congress for the ncces-
sarv appropriation of funds 10 carry into
effect at the earliest possible moment the
project. 1t wa resolved to erect mon
ument lhat would not only be
hi Lhly ornamental, but commemorative
of all the great events in the Nations
history during tho past one hundred
wears The structure is to be erected on
ten acres Of ground in Fairmoant Park,
Philadelphia the title OF which is to be
sccur,v vested in the United Slctes.
Apropus of the coming together of so
great rumber oi governors, a Washing
ton paper says, "the time elapsing be-
tween drinks is not nearly so long as it
was when there were only the Governor
of North Carolina and the Governor of
South Carolina to do the talking"
Wonder what that means? Doyou think
there is anything significant in it ? Here
Johnsrown it would be impossible to
Imagine what thee drinks" refer TO.
Probably it is .ome new invention down
at the Capitol
