That was beautiful and appropriate at
the laying of the corner stone of the ex-
tension of the capitol fifty-eight years art
er the corner stone of the old capitol had
been laid. Yet the corner stone of our
republic was first laid in 1776, and at the
re-establshment of our national govern
ment was laid again in 1865. But are we
not ready for the laying Of the corner
stone of a broader and higher national
life? We have as a nation received so
much from God. Do we not owe new con-
secration? Are we not ready to become
better Sabbath-keeping, peace-lOving, viz
tue-honoring, worshipping nation?
Are we not ready for such corner stone
laying? Why not now let it take place?
With long procession Of prayers moving
from the north and the south, the east
and the west, let the scene he made au-
gust beyond comparison. The God of Ma
tons, who hath dealt with us as with no
other people, will preside al the Solemni-
cation. BY the square and the level and
the plumb of the Everlasting Right let
the corner stone be adjusted. Let that
corner stone be the masoning together of
the two granite tables on which the law
was written when SINAI SHOOK with the
earthquake. and inside that corner stone
put the Sermon on the Mount and a scroll
containing the names of all the men and
women who have fought and prayed and
toiled for the good of this nation from the
first martyr of the American revolution
down to the last woman who bound up a
soldiers wounds in the field hospital. And
let some one, worthy to do So strike the
stone three times with the Gospel ham
mer, in the name of God the Father, God
the Son and God the Holy Ghost Then
let the building rise, one wall laved by the
Pacific ocean, and the other washed OF
the Atlantic, until It's capstone shall be
laid amid the shouting of all nations, by
that time as free as our own divinely
founded, divinely constructed and divinely
protected republic, the last throne of OPP
preston having fallen fiat into the dust
and the last shackle of tyranny been hung
up in museum a relic of barbaric ages
The prayer that the great expounder
wrote to be put in the corner stone, at the
extension of the capitol, l calculate as our
own supplication: God save the United
States of America" only adding the words
with which Robert South was apt to close
his sermons, whether delivered before the
court at Christ Church chapel or in West
minister Abbey, at anniversary of resto-
ration of Charles the II, or on the death
OF Oliver Cromwell amid the worst tenn
est that ever swept over England: TO
God be rendered and absorbed. as is most
due, all praise, might majesty and domin-
ion, both now and forever. Amen"

INA HYPNOTIC TRANCE.
A WaycrOss Man Tells About His "a
Hours sleep.

Waycross, Ca, April n.-Mesmerism,
hypnotism and mind reading have held
the curious-minded people here in a spell
for several days. A professor of these
sciences was here Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, giving exhibitions Joe Chas-
tame, popular young man here, was hyp-
Noticed and put into a twenty-four hours
mesmeric trance and kept on exhibition in
the show window of the Waycross cloth
ing store. Physicians here examined him.
one of them tested his sleep and did not
arouse him. Needles were stuck into his
body, and other tests were made. After
staying on exhibition the proper length
of time, young Chastaine was removed on
his bed TO the opera house and put on the
stage before large audience At II
o'clock, just twenty-four hours after he
had been put to sleep, he was awakened
by the professor. Half dozen men were
required to hold him after he was awak-
ened. He seemed to be horrorstricken.
His guards were fought, and it was with
difficulty that he was overpowered. After
he was himself again, he stated that he
felt like he had only been asleep few
hours. OF his trance, he knew nothing in
detail.
Mr. Chastaine, this morning, in discuss
ing the matter, said: My last recollec-
ton was this command of the professor:
Sleep; you will sleep sound / do not
remember having had any dreams or hear
ing any conversation or noise, and the
time seemed to be the same as a natural
sleep of five or six hours judging from
my feelings after awakening. My first
recollection of my awakening was the
professors command for me to awake.
l opened my eyes and was Mortified at be-
ing tightly held to my bed My desire
was to escape at any sacrifice. and
struggled desperately for my freedom. 1
remembered then my situation, and sup
posed that the audience before me was
the same one before which 1 had been
put to sleep the previous night"

which is firmer in the market lies in the
direction of gold exports, but it is doubt
full If the continental demand will be

There was some improvement on the
stock exchange at the beginning of last
week in consequence of the impression
that the eastern trouble would be tided
over. But this was followed by a relapse
on Friday, after receipt of the unfaVor-
able news from the Turco-Greek frontier.
From this relapse there was partial re-
covery on Saturday. The tendency of the
market apart from the fluctuations due to
the mes from the east has certainly been
favorable since the bank reduced its rate
