TIE CAPITOL AT WASHINGTON
Probably the Most Beautiful and imposi"s
 Pnbiic BnIIding in the World.

Probably the Most tsehutil"i anu -,
 Public BniIding in the World.
 Referring to correspondent who asked, (Which is the most imposing public building in the worldP The Christian Advocate says:
 We have not seen all the public buildings in the world, though we have seen and described in this paper most of the important public buildings in all the countries of Europe, except Portugal and in several oriental countries. But the far-famed Tai Mahal, of India, we have not seen. Of all that we have seen, bv far the finest, taking the location into account, is the Capitol at Washss ineton. It has been well said that the palace of no European potentate surpasses 1t. Constructed of white marble, on the brow of hill, with dome of magnificent height and diameter, supported by tiers of columns, and surmounted by statue of liberty its wings low, broad and long; it's approaches by broad ave nues, ascending green terraces It's apparently triumphant superiority to the whole city and the very hills, 1t commands the unprecedented admira. tion of all who gaze upon 1t for the first time; and as the years pass the impression is deepened. Charles Sumner declared that he had never seen anything equal to it, and he was wide and discriminating traveller.
 In the old days when Washington was one of the most unprepossessing cities on the globe, the splendor of the Capitol was such a marvellous contrast to it's surroundings as to seem as though it had dropped down out of tho heavens. But notwith- standing tho many public buildings -some of them of great cost--that have been erected within a few years, 1 and the general improvement of the l city to such degree that, apart
 from the Capitol, it had no superior in beauty in the United states, the Capitol does and-until the city and
 it have deeayed (should that ever take lacee--while the earth stands, will tower above the city and its en- virons like Mont Blanc above the
 valley of Jhamouni.
 Two pilgrimages every American citizen who can obtain the money
 and time should make; one to Wash ington, the other to the battlefield
 of Gettysburg.

THE LIBERTY BELL.

The Mail and Express of the 27th inst. announces the appointment of Mrs. Abner Hamilton, Jr., to repre- sent tho state of New York in the proposed liberty bell. Mrs. Hamil ton is most fitting representative of that state, being descended from such old Knickerbocker families as the Schuylers, De Peysters, Living stones, Van Wycks, Gaidiners (of Gardiner's Island) and Hamiltons, of which family the illustrious Alex ander Hamilton was a member. She is daughter of the revolution .,nd colonial dame. Among the distinguished names mentioned as representing other states are Mrs. Julia Nord Hoen, of Massachusetts ] Mrs. Hof, granddaughter of Benja- m m Franklin, of Pennsylvania; Miss Go, don, niece of Governor Gordon, of G Neorgia; Mrs. Hettie Houston Bringh urst, daughter of Gen. Sam Houston of Texas, and a hundred others ls has been arranged that the general committee shall meet al Troy, N. Y, on May l, on which day the Memely Bell Company will cast the bell. A this ceremony of the casting of the Neai each commit tee from each state, or her repre- sentative, will, with her own hand, cast into the furnace ,'he eontribu- tions of ores and historic febes frolg her state.
 By the eourtecy of the WestefH Union Telegraph Company, the foundry will be connected with the platform at Chicago, so that Airs. Cleveland by pressing knob, will cause the molten mass of metal to flow into the mold, thus casting tho liberty bell of 1893.
 Arkansas has contributed hand somely of native copper and silver ores. We have aluminium, which is said to be fine bell metal, and should by all means be in this bell. All the expense for shipping the ore and getting it in shape for the bell is provided for, if the ore alone is donated. Two swords and several bayonets from the battlefield of Pea Ridge are to be sent for the blow. Money has been given whenever so- hcited, and the schools of the state. particularly of Little Rock, have grasped the idea of tho bell aud have given their hearty cooperation in this work. It will be source of congratulation to every person in the state contributing to this enter. prise.

cal departures from old ideas with which the
America astonished the maritime world on the
bright August day in iS5l when EnGlands Queen
from the battlemcnts of tho Royal Squadron's
castle saw the Yankee boat lead home the fleet OF
British Yachts which had gone ont to race her.
Before the America won her celebrated race,
ship designers had held that the centre of dis
placement should be forward of the beam. Mr..
Steers who came of q race of shipbuilders and
had devoted his whole life to the science of ship
building. maintained that this was all wrong The
"cod's head and mackercl's tall combination,
which was the standby of the old school OF ship
builders was not Mr. Steers thought, the proper
model. Captain Roland Coffin in his " History OF
the Americas Cup says Mr.. Steers maintained
that the best sailing qualities Of vessel could
be developed by uniform displacement OF the
water along her lines" He first put his IDEAS
into practice in the building Of the pilotboat
Mary Taylor Though all the critics and the ship
builders sconed at the new ideas of Mr. Steers, the
Mary Taylor proved to be wonder, ana easily
outsailed anything Of her size with which she came
in contact. Then the scoing changed to praise
and the fame OF George Steers was accomplished.
The first worlds fair ever held was in progress
in 1851, under the glass roof of the Crystal Pal
ace in Hyde Park. London. The Ncw-iorE
Yacht Club was then in it's sixth year. The
fame of the New-York pilotboats, then. as now,
swift and seaworthy vessels, was great IN Eng

of wonderful performances Of the cutter yacht

yachts at Cowes that year, and many races were
arranged for. Certain members OF the New-fork
Yacht Club determined to build schooner and
