the revered Crosby S. Noyes, and pub

sary supplement of The Evening Star.
Tuesday, December IL, 1902, Mr. Noyes
quoted the following from "Recollec-
lions of the Metropolitan Press" by
Col. Claiborne, printed in the New Or
leans Delta in 1856:
Francis =. Blair. better known as
Blair of the Globe, commenced his
career as an editor at Frankfort, KY.
Amos Kendall was at one time his as
sociate. Originally friendly to Mr..
Clay and connected with him by mar
rage, he subsequently,, with the great
body of what was then called the new
court party in Kentucky, attached him
self to Gen. Jackson, and followed the
fortunes of that great man to Wash
ingtOn, where he established the Globe.
1t speedily became the national organ
of the democratic party, and prevail
ing influence at the White House.
If the Globe owed it's reputation
to Mr. Blair he is mainly indebted for
his fortune to the indomita able energy
and financial talent of his partner, Mr..
John G. Rives, who was charged with
the business concerns Of their extensive
establishment Mr.. Rives is huge.

of the Congressional Globe. He never
made one failure. that was when

front ridge and the stream.
ION the revision of the lines in 1851 it
was not deemed that this, the right hank

space between tie Anacostia and the
ends of the ridges just mentioned Hence.
at the very extremity of the most ad-
vanced one. a powerful battery tJame-
SOM was erected and connected with the
original covered way by rifle trenches:
thus a line of defenses, continuous from
Fort Lincoln, was formed along this
ridge, the flank Of which was well pro-
tected by Instructions and by fire OF
some of the guns OF the battery against

structure connected with the work might
perhaps have been dispensed with. mas

ample and perfect protection against

sand feet of infantry parapet extended
to "a battery at the north end of the
crest and lower than the fort. and then
100 feet Of rifle trench extended north
easterly down the slope to Battery Jane
son, which was 800 feet long. Covering
the deep ravine that runs down the
crest eastward into the Eastern branch
were two batteries, each about a thousand
feet from the river.
Westward, down the hill to the Bla-
densburg road, thence from that road to
the railroad tracks and thence to Fort
Thayer, 100 yards west of Lincoln,

battery continued west and north to
Battery Norris, Fort Saratoga, Fort
Bunker Hill and Fort Slemmer to Fort

The time of the building of this grotto
was a time of great activity and of
change in the Capitol grounds 1t was
just about this time that the gray stone
ventilating towers We're set UP in the
grounds at the west front of the Capitol.
In a report for 1879 it is set forth that
1.-The air duct leading from the southwest
grounds to the House of Representatives
is rapidly approaching completion" and
that the work is thoroughly done and
the best materials used 1t is also said
that 1.-The air shaft to be constructed of

courses of dressed granite, is now in
process of construction and will also be
completed before the assembling Of Con-
