Monticello, the Home Of Thomas Jefferson.
Speaking Of the suggestion that the
nation buy Monticello, the home Of
Jefferson, writer in the Chicago Times.
Herald thus speaks of the splendid old
mansion:
"The house itself is noble piece of
architecture. 1t is long-the more so
seemingly because it is only Of one story
-bslustrsded, and in it's central front
surmounted by fine dome. In front
and rear are spacious piazzas and porticos
on brick arches The walls of the house
are brick, and when Jefferson lived in it
the dome and the pillared front were the
leading features Of the mansion. Mon
ticello is not what il used to be and the
desuetude Of years has clothed it with
an aspect Of ruin that is immeasurably
sad to the worshiper Of Thomas Jeffer-
son. On either side Of the house are
the paviliOns, to the eastern one Of which
Jefferson brought his bride on the night
Of the great snow in 1772. This pavilion
was preserved in the main az ID was
finished, and one TO match it was added
to the west side.
"The interior Of the house was spa
cious and convenient AS one entered by
the big portico on the northeast he was
surrounded by great, lofty hall, almost
square. This was the main room Of the
mansion. The walls were ornamented
with stag heads and grouped about were
Mexican and Indian curios. Hard by
were the busts Of Hamilton and Jeffer
son, by the then noted Cerrachi. They
stood on pedestsls on either side Of the
main entrance. Through big doors oi
glass Jefferson was overiond Of glass in
his house-One entered the fine drawing
room, which occupied the rest Of the
building across its depth. The floor was
Of parquetry and laid by Jefferson him
self and his slaves--in fact, much OF
Monticello was constructed by the
statesman's own hands and those Of his
servants. In one corner Of this drawing
room stood a harp, and on the walls were
the portraits of Americus Vespucci
Columbus, Csstrucio, Castracani, Raj
eigh, Cortez, Andrea Doria, Bacon,
Locke and Newton, Madison, Monroe
and John Adams. Here, near the door
opening on the portiCo, were the bustf
of Alexander the Great and Napoleon.
"Next and to the west of the drawing
room was the dining room, and beyonC
that small tea room. In the dining
room on 'brackets standing out from the
wall were the busts Of Franklin, Voltaire
Washington, Lafayette and Paul Jones
In the fore part of the house were two
great chambers for the accommodation
Of guests, with beds in big alcoves. Or
the east of the hall at the left upon on
tering was Mrs. RRndolph's room, and ii
the rear Of that Mr.. Jeffsrson's. Beyond
these was an apartment at first used as
a library and later turned into con
servatory. This library extended through
the entire depth OF the house. The up

SHOWN IN TRADE
Remarkable Similarity to Conditions
in the Year 1879.
CROP PROSPECTS EXCELLENT
Large Exports Of Wheat from Pacific Coast
Promised-Improyement 10 Iron and
Steel Good JObbiag Trade.

New York. June Ar. G. Dun and
company's Weekly Review OF Trade to-
morrow viii say:
The statement OF failures in May by
all branches OF business gives much en-
eouragcment. In defaulted liabilities the
month was the smallest since September,
1885.
The statement that. except for TEN
porary depression In prices, the volume
OF business transacted is now larger
than il was IN iSs2-the year OF greatest
prosperity-has been questioned by some.
But the comparison OF prices this week
In the leading branches OF manufacture
not only confirms that view, but shows
a remarkable similarity TO the course OF
prices in the earlier months OF lS's, when
the most wonderful advance in production
and prices ever known in this or any
other country was close al hand. The
key OF the situation is the excessive pro-
ductIon OF some goods in advance Of an
expected increase in demand. So, in iS1S,
consumption gradually gained. month by
month. until suddenly It was found that
the demand was greater than the possible
supply. All know how prices then ad-
vanced and the most marvellous progress
in the history OF any country resulted
within two years. Reports from all parts
Of the country now show that the retail
distr-ibiltioD os products Is unusually
large and increasing. There is no i'm
provement in the market for farm pTo-
ducts.
Crop prospects are so good that rumors
customary at this season have no atten-
tion.

prohibit the exhibition or importation Of
