which he thought in some respects was
the greatest he ever achieved. Mr.. Ben
nett in the New York Herald was autag-
onizing with ali his power the administra-

anxious that il should be stopped. He
sent for Weed 10 ask him how it could be
done, and Weed replied that he could not

Bennett for many years.
But" said President Lincoln, 81 want

him how l feel. discuss this matter with
him, and say that the Union is in peril,
and that the peril is all the greater be-
cause of the powerful influence of the

forts TO maintain the Union"
Mr.. Lincoln was wise enough to see, !"
Mr.. Weed used to say when he was reiat-
ing this story, that if he offered to buy
Bennett's support the editor would de-
spise him."
So, in something of trepidation, an in
terview was arranged with Mr.. Bennett at
Fort Washington. The two editors
walked about the place after lunch, and
then Mr.. Weed pleaded with Mr.. Bennett,
and in the name OF Mr.. Lincoln urged him
to throw the influence of the Herald in
favor of all efforts which were being made
to preserve the Union. Bennett
asked many questions. but gave
no intimation as TO his pur-

Comparatively few persons know that
what Americans would call a bundle of
stalks of corn in the ear was substituted
for the tiuted column in the first architect
ural designs for the national capitol. In
side the old part of the capitol, Just in
front of the law library and at the
foot of the little noticed but beauti-
full sweep of marble stairway lead
ing to the supreme court of the United
States, is rather dark vestibule to
the court entrance" In this quiet place,
removed from the hurry and noise of the
upper corridors, is an example, and prob
ably the only remaining example of the
early attempt to introduce Indian corn In
stalk and golden ear" into a purely
original emblem of American architecture.
i think there are five of these columns,
OF fair height and proportion, each COM
posed of a bundle of long stalks, expand
ing into the ripened ear of corn above.
The stalks are not bound together
like the familiar faces, but stand
alone rs If surrounding supporting pill
lar. This American idea seems never to
have proceeded farther, and seems TO have
been entirely abandoned in constructing
the remaining portions of the capitol.
Probably foreign criticism discouraged
the architect, and his professional suhlec-
tion intimidatea him. But he was bold
enough 10 leave 10 posterity this
example of what he might have
done III the way of American emblem
attic architecture, Those who profess to
he learned in these things do not consider
the cornStalk columns very high art, but
they do not produce any uupleasing effect.
and they are certainly extremely interest
ing As specimens of the early independ-
euCe that led Us 10 create new fields of
thought and taste and action. But the
progress We have made in art has not been
on an independent line. but in greater
conformity with long-established rules.
The national capital has followed this
course Of development, and Wash
lngton presents few examples of
departure from classic authority in
architecture. 80 II is safe 10 saw
that while our lndlan-corn may seek new
mills IN Germany. and eventually mud its
way all over the world, ana millions now
eating coarse black bread may learn the
luxury of hoe-cake and corn
dodgers, neither The tender taS-
