Illustrated supplemenf.

We had ordered to be issued as supplement
OF the SPECTATOR an illustrated page with
full account of the proceedings attending the
ceremonies, on Thursday. Of the unwilling OF
the Equestrian Statue Of Gen. R. E. Lee. but
were disappointed, as we failed to receive 1t,
and were forced at a late hour to prepare the
account which appears In this issue without
the illustrations and accompanying account
we had ordered and expected. As the account
we publish OF the ceremonies at the monument
Is that furnished by the Dispatch, the fullest
and most accurate published. we suppose 1t Is
better and more satisfactory than would have
been given in the illustrated page ordered, II it
had been received, SO that there is no loss ex-
cept that of the illustrations themselves, and
as it is better to have an accurate report with
out illustrations. than to have the illustrations
accompanied by report less full and accurate,
1t may be that it was fortunate for our readers
that we failed to receive the illustrated page
ordered.

SIENNA FOB PAINTING nave in cur
office specimens OF Sienna found on the
farm Of Mr.. Jacob X. Mauzy, on Smiths Greek,
ten miles north OF Harrisonbur on the Valley
Turnpike This is said to be OF the finest quail
ity, and finer than any other that has. as yet,
been found in that county. When gotten out
of the ground in its original state 1t Is of yell
low color, but when burnt it is of a.rich red
brown color.
@Sienna is a silicate of iron and alumina and
takes its name from Sienna in Italy.
On the same farm has been discovered good
quality of black marble which exists in con>
siderable quantity. as evidenced by the indi-
cations in the slight investigations made. In
these times of high tariff and low prices of ag-
riculturaI products. we hope that many farms
ers may be SO fortunate as to find valuable
mineral deposits upon their lands. and that
the proper development of them will make
their property valuable beyond their expecta-

MR.. EUsTIs's SPEEcH.-The Senate
Tuesday, May 9th, resumed the considera-
ton of the bill subjecting imported liquors
to tho provisions of the laws of the several
States. Mr.. Eustis said:
1t had been amusing to hear republican
New England Senators preaching the doc
trine of States rights. He had been sur
prised at the sudden conversion of these re-
publican Senators. He could not under
stand how it was that they had abjured
their political faith, renouncsd their politi-
cal education, repudiated their political con-
victions an falsified their political records.
Such performance, intended only tocapti-
vate the excited imagination of a prohibit
ton audience, had been to him inexpressi-
bly, comic. But the noyitiate of these Sena-
tors had been too short, their probation too
slight, to justify their being admitted into
full fellowship with believers Of States
rights. IT, on the question of a federal cleo
tion law, and on the question of civil rights,
those Senators should show that they had
counted their beads and said their prayers,
and were truly penitent, States rights men
would be ready to give them their holy
blessing.
The bill went over without action.
