THE NATIONAL TRIBUnE WASHINGTON O. THURSDAY JULY

said Blair, ''if you viii give me one-half
of that amount will step out Of the busi-
ness
Mr. Rives took him at his offer, and the
property was transferred to Riyes.
Mr.. Rives, in December. 1852, pur-
chased a part of the adjoining lot, No. 16,
beginning 20 feet back from Pennsylvania
Avenue. With the additions built by
Blair and Rives to Jackson Hall and the
added wing on lot No. Is, made the
Globe building one of the finest equipped
printing offices south of Philadelphia.
In 1873 Congress. appropriated 100000
for the purchase from the then owners
and proprietors of the Congressional
Globe $4,000 bound volumes of the pa
per and 10000 unbound volumes. There
were 10000 metal plates fol printing the
Congressional Globe" in the two-story
fire-proof building situated in the rear OF
the "Globe" Building, on Pennsylvania
Avenue.
This purchase placed in the control of
the Government the stereotype plates OF
the proceedings of Congress from 1887 to
1873 in the old "Globe'' form, from which
it can at any time supply members of Com
gress. Since it has come into the hands of
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE men it has been
put in thorough equipment for modern
printing office.
The old assembly halls have put on new
dress, and have come out in fresh Spring
attire, and are among the most attractive
halls in the city. The lower hall is leased
to he Government and one Bureau of the
Census is here installed. More's the pity
that the force could not be here sheltered,
with high, airy ceilings, walls of two feet
thickness quite in contrast to the dry
kiln Census Building proper.
The "Globe" Building was put up to
stand for ages to come, with foundations
and walls that will stand the ravages OF
time, and we hope new civilization will
never sweep away this historical land
mark.
1t seems striking incident that THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE should have been
published for years on the old landmark
of the Washington "Globe" on G Street,
and should today be the proprietors and
owners of the magnificent property of the
Congressional Globe" on Pennsylvania
Avenue, where their paper is published
a paper as patriotic and loyal as Jackson
ever thought of being in the hight of his
naturalization days.
The old-time prosperity has seemingly
come back to the old building, filed with
the ghosts of the great men and lovely
women that peopled this goodly city but
yesterday; joined with the festive days
held in this building that celebrated great
events and. were recorded by history as
she rode upon the car of time.

A story of Hamlin.
Pifsburg Commereia! Ga-ette.

Speaking of Vice Presidents. here is an
anecdote of the man who was Lincoln's
first running mate: In Hannibal Hamlin's
earlier days. at a certain caucus in Hamp-
den, the only attendants were himself and
u citizen of larger stature. Mr.. Hamlin
had some resolutions to pass which began
by representing that they were presented
to Large and respectable gathering OF
voters Hold on" cried the other man;
1--WE can't pass that, for it amt true. It
amt a large and respectable caucus.
There's only two of u.s. ''You keep still,
brother" commanded the willy Hannibal;
''its all right, for you are large and am
respectable. You just keep still" So tho
resolutions were passed without further
demur, in the presence of Large and re-

The three Commissioners appointed by
Washington for the surveying and laying
out of the Federal City-Thomas John
son. Daniel Carroll and Daniel Stewart
first negotiated with the owners of the
farms which covered the ground where
the city now stands. The land comprised
7.100 acres. The cornerstone of the new
District was laid by the Commissioners
April 10, 1871, and Maj. Charles LEN
fant was employed 10 lay out the city.
The Commissioners had the four lines
run and by proper metes and bounds de-
fined and limited, which constituted the
District, and was accepted by Congress
for the permanent seat of Government of
the United States.
Maj. L'Enfant's plan was the one
adopted in laying out the city, and was
carried out by Andrew Ellicott, who fin
ished the work.
The owners of this land were to convey
to the Government what would amount
TO every other lot. the Government to sell
