wool, very soft and fine. The full skirt
not too full--has four bands of heavy
black silk braid gimp woven and cx.
tremely lustrous. They are in gradua-
ted widths-nnd truly novel touch is
given by putting the nnrrowest of them
at the bottom, the widest on top. The
same style prevails in the trimming of
the double pelerine falling over the
shoulders. The waist is also finished
with row of braid. A hat of reddish
brown-straw trimmed with three Al
satan bows-onc gray, one green, one
the color of the gown itself, was sent
homo with the frock--and, along with
Il pair of glace gloves in six button
length of the same rcd-brown shade,

ms having delivered nm address "pnnc.
tuatcd by fifteen salvos of cannon
from the Virginia Artillery" and then,
after ''solemn and beautiful prayer"
succeeded by Masonic chanting and
another salvo OF artillery, the COM
pnny retired TO booth, where an OK

of which they generously partook,
with every abundance of other recrea-

The duty OF erecting suitable build-
ings ut the permanent seat of govern
ment had been intrusted by Congress
in Philadelphia TO President Washing
ton and three Commissioners selected
by him. The first Board of Commits
sioners was composed of David Stewart,
Daniel Carroll and Thomas johnson,
ns named above on the silver plate,
and the second, appointed 1875, of
Gustnyus Scott, William Thornton and
Alexander White. The advertisement
for designg for the Capitol stated that

Thornton was not nm architect. His
design was an ideal sketch, very pleas
ing to the eye, rather than practicable
plan, aad was unaccompan!ed by any
drawings of elevations or sections. A
board of consulting architects de
cided that there were six valid, material
and insurmountable objections to it.
Hallette was thereupon directed by
Jefferson, then Secretary of State, to
alter Thornton's plan. Thus the two
designers, Thornton and Hallette,
must be credited about equally with
the honor of drafting the plans for the
American Capitol, although after all,
owing to still further notifications,
subsequently made, the finally
accepted plan, to quote the words of
Washington, was "nobody's. but a
compound Of everybody's. Hallette,

In 1856 Bulfncb's old brick and
wooden shaped like nm inverted
sugar bowl of homely pnttern--was
removed, and the materials for the new
iron dome, the crowning glory of tho
Capitol to-day, were contracted for.
The greater portion of the interior
was finished in 1857. The House of
Representative first met in the new
hall on December 10 Of that year, md
the Senate in the new Senate chamber
on January 4, 1859. The remainder
of both wings was completed in 1861.
Owing TO the exigencies of the Civil
War no appropriation WAS made for
continuing the work on the new
dome in 1862, but through the faith
and patriotism of the contractors,
