The Old Homestead.

On next Monday evening Thompson's
masterpiece, "The Old Homestead" will
be the attraction at the Opera House,
presented by the same company that
made such pronounced hit on former
visits.
The Old Homestead stands alone in
dramatic composition. 1t belongs to no
class, but is type OF itself, Encour-
aged by its almost phenomenal success,
many attempts have been made to imi-
tate 1t, but SO far without success.
The Old Homestead double quartette
is again feature OF the play.

Webster Was No Longer Thirsty.

When Daniel Webster visited these
parts for the purpose Of delivering his
Bunker Hill Grafton he was entertained
at the house OF a Charlestown merchant.
This merchant was so EN- barrassed by
the honor OF the great stateman's pres
ence that he brought out not one but sew
eral decanters Of the best liquor ne had in
the house. Mr.. Webster carefully searched
out the vessel containing the brandy and
poured from il a drink that to-day
would be termed bath, and drank the
liquor in a few complacent gulps. The
anxiously obliging merchant inquired of
Mr.. Webster whether he would not like
a glass Of water. The Senator looked up
camly, and in his most magnificent tones
replied, urbanely: Il thank you, sir, but
am not thirsty. "-Boston Globe.

MODERATE DRINKING NO GAIN.

Alcoholic stimulants exhaust the strength
Of those who are called to prolong physical
endurance in extremes Of heat or cold. What
folly, therefore, to suppose that in moderate
temperature there is any real gain from mod
crate drinking Lieutenant Greeley testified
to the advantage of total abstinence among
his men in the Arctic regions and Henry NJ.
Stanley bore witness to tile danger of any
alcoholic drinks in Equatorial Africa. And
now Miss Kate Marsden, whose remarkable
journey on sledge and horseback to visit the
outcast Siberian lepers il attracting deserved
attention, has similar story to teA of the
value OF abstinence and the danger of alcohol.
She says, in the preface to her narrative of her
journey: II have never taken any active
part in promoting temperance principles. but
now think that the record of my exertions
in Siberia. without the aid Of stimulants, may
prove as beneficial to others as II my voice
had been raised 10 furthering the cause for
years past. I took no alcohol whatever
throughout the journey, excepting on two
occasions of great exhaustion, when the
stimulGnts only made me worse. 1 have,
therefore, good ground for recommending
abstinence from alcohol where much physica,
endurance is necessary" II man says he
drinks wine or whisky because he likes to. he
may be supposed to tell the simple truth but
if he says he takes these stimulants in order
to meet the extremes Of weather, or to give
him powers of physical endurance, he is to
be pitied for not knowing any better. A col.
lege athlete must be total abstainer while in
training for q contest, even if he drinks freely,
or moderately, at other times. Yet at that
very time his brother. or his father is, per-
haps, taking liquor at his meals, or between
meals, to give him strength. y-school

Pennsylvania.

The Pennsylvania structure is in the
Colonial style of architecture, while
the front is an exact reproduction of
old Independence Hall, having its en-
frances, bell tower and spire, Iade-
pendence bell hangs in the tower. The
rotunda within the entrance is finished
in tile and slate, like the old hall. The
building is rectangular in form, two
stories high, with a ground area OF
l1Ox166 feet. The corners of the front
are ouarter-circled in. Piazzas twenty
feet wide surround the building and
over them are verandas with protecting
balustrade. Outside staircases, right
and left to the rear, lead to the garden
on the roof. This roof is covered with
American-made tin produced in Phila-
delphia. The outer walls to the roof
line are of Philadelphia pressed bricE.
Above the main entrance is the coat-of-
arms of the State, in bas-relief, and on
either side Of it are heroic statues of
Penn and Franklin. The front is fur
ther ornamented with two free groups
of statuary, one emblematic of arts and
sciences, the other of mines and man
ufacture. The interior finishing rep.
resents, in the floors, native marble
and hard woods from Pennsylvania, and
the walls are wainscotted in wood, fres-
poed and heavily corniced. The
women's rooms are finished in maple
and the mems in oak. The walls of the
women's rooms are ornamented with
mural paintings by the Pennsylvania
women. All the ceilings are of stamped
metal, and the staircases are of quar-
tered oak. On the main floor is the
reception-room, 33x56 feet, and on
other side are parlors for men and
rvmen. On the second floor are rooms
for the Governor, the press correspond.

where Washington lived for many
years and where he died. The Mount
Vernon homestead came into George
Washington's hands from his brother,
Lawrence Washington. It was built
by their father early in the Eighteenth
Century.
The main structure is "a feet across
the front by 80 feet deep, with an attic
and two-story portico extending the
length of the front, and finished on top
with an iron railing on level with the
dormer windows of the top story.
Two colonnades extend back from
the wings of the house distance
of twenty feet, each connecting with a
one and half story building, 40x20,
such as were called dependencies.
Altogether there are twenty-five
rooms in the structure. On the first
and second floors of the main building
there are eleven rooms, in the attic
six, and in each of the dependencies
four rooms. The largest rooms in the
building are the banquet hall, 31x23
feet, and the library, 16x19 feet; the
main entrance hall, Washington's
chamber, in which he died, upon the
second floor, and Mrs. Washington's
chamber in the attic, to which she re-
moved after her husbands death, and
which she occupied during the re-
mainder of her life on account of it's
being the only room in the house
which looked out upon his tomb.
In the main hall is large stairway,
four feet wide, ascending by platforms
to the floors above. On the first plat
form of the stairway there is an old
Washington family clock, avery inter-
esting historical relic.
This hall is furnished with antique
sofas and pictures of the last century.
The rooms upon the first floor are orna-
mented by heavy carved and nodded
wood trimmings and handsome mantels,
very antique. This Virginia building
is only an MISREPRESENTATION in every
particular of the old Mount Vernon
structure, but everything withiR it is
also of the same character. Nothing
modern. is seen in the building, except
the people and library of books by the
Virginia authors. AS far as could be
done the building has been furnished
with articles collected from all over the
State, the heirlooms of old Virginia
families, and with portraits of the same
character. Whatever may be lacking
in furnishing the building with articles
of this character was supplied with
furniture made after the same old
fashion.

STATE BUILDINGS.
HOW SOME STATES ARE REPRE-
SENTED AT THE BIG FAIR.

ing -Virginia's Rep 8.
resentation of Mount Vernon
Other State Buildings.

Most of the States are represented
et the Columbian Exposition in Chicago
by State buildings. Each contains
some feature of peculiar interest.
New York.
The New York State building is of
substantial design, appropriate for the
Official headquarters of one of the old
est and wealthiest States in the Union.
The building is in the style of the Ital-
ian Renaissance, villa in character,
rectangular in form, approached on the
south by flight of fourteen steps,
forty-six feet wide, giving access to O
grand terrace, fifteen by eighty feet
from which the loggia, or open vesti-
bule, forty-six feet by sixteen feet
six inches is reached.
The semi-circular porticoes, east and
west, have a diameter of fifty feet in
the form of an exedra, and the un-
covered portion, furnished with the
tountain, will be an unique feature of
the building.
It is proposed to place q bust of
Washington upon the key block over
the main entrance, and at either side,
those of the first and the present
Governors of the State The main
floor of the building consists of the
vestibule referred to, grand staircase
