BOW TO
MAKE CHILDREN BE
LIABLE. - Those parents who most keenly feel
their responsibilities are in danger of
watching their children too closely.
It is surprising how early in a child's
life this surveillance becomes a source
of annoyance and irritation, through
the first instinctive emotion of self
respect, and how soon tho little ones
learn to to sly and deceive, hoping in
that way to escape this watchfulness
if possible. They conceal their child
ish saving! and doings if they are led
to feel that they are suspected of some
thing wrong. If they are unable to
understand what it is, they at least
realize that their parents do not trust
their honor. They may not be quito
able to put their annoyances from this
cause into words; but let this idea creep
into a young child's mind, and his per
ceptions grow old fast. Nothing so
soon develops tho evil most feared as
this ovcrwatchfulness.
Teach a child while yet little that
father and mother are inclined to com
mit some small matter to its care, and
without tho least show of doubt or fear
that the little one will fail; and those
parents who perhaps have forgotten in
some degree the spirit of their own
baby days will scarcely bo able to real
ize tho happiness this trust has be
stowed. The importance of the trust
will, of course, be gauged by tho ago
of the child. Begin this teaching early.
Take care that tho small pupil is not
taxed beyond its capacity, but let it
distinctly understand that the parent
is in earnest, and fully believes that the
commission will not be neglected.
None can estimate- how this event in a
child's life will be fixed in tho young
mind the first time it feels that its
parents have- turned to it with loving
confidence for the performance of some
little duties, and that they have trusted
to its honor. Nothing so clearly awak
ens self-respect as the feeling of re
sponsibility which comes with the
knowledge that they are trusted; and
tho caro and faithfulness which even
the youngest understands will be nec
essary to cxecuto the work to the
parents' satisfaction aro good seed
sown, which in later years will bear good
fruit, and amply rop'ay all tho trouble it
may have cottoprcjiaje-tho'soil for its
splnra.
That such teaching is not tho easiest
of all maternal duties every mother
knows full well, and all would much
rather do the work than bo subject to
the tcdiousness and anoyance of drilling
a child. But this is tho mother's mis
sion, not wisely delegated to another.
First show a child precisely how to do
certain things. Perhaps the lesson must
bo often repeated before it is done
well; but after some trials begin by
leaving those littlo chores for it to
do alone when tho mother is not
near. Tho .more trivial tho better
at first. For instance, say to the
littlo two-year-old: "Mamma must
go out a few minutes, but she don't
like to leave the nursery in such dis
order. Will not my littlo man pickup
all the blocks and playthings ho is not
using, and put them away just as
mamma likes to see them? And
Jennie also will, I know, fold her doll's
clothes iust as I have shown her, and
lav them neatly in tho drawer when her
,J .i.t ...:n
Fc
ay is over, x am siuu mis iuuui nui
ook von-nice when mamma returns."
If tho training is begun earty it soon
becomes easy for littlo folks to do many
things well. How proud and happy
these miniature men and women feel
when they have this token of their mo
ther's confidence in their ability to caro
for such things as she intrusts to them!
and of course it will be often necessary
to be a littlo short-sighted, and to pass
over a few items that will bear im
provement; but don't point them out
at once. Let the mistakes or defects
wait. Appear pleased with the first
effort. It will be time enough when the
next trial is made to say, "I would fold
this little dress so" or, "I would put
these books here just so." But give as
much sweet approval and praise as is
judicious to gladden and encourago
them in every effort. Gentle hints may
be interspersed with all tho approval
consistent with truth, and it will not be
long before the mother will find her
little prattlers quite competent to take
a large share in keeping their play
room and bedrooms in creditable order.
But if these lessons are not begun early
and made pleasant, children will have
acquired the habit of being wailed upon,
ana will learn to prefer it to helping
themselves.
Each year, as a child can bear it, the
importance of the trust and responsibili
ty may be increased. If the labor is
accepted as a love-offering, to save
mother's" time and strength, there
will soon be found willing hands and
happy' hearts, ready at all hours to
lighten tho labor and save many weary
steps, while at the same time the young
are learning a lesson that will do them
good all through life. To prevent these
little duties from becoming wearisome
as the child matures, vary the lessons
by changing often the nature of the
trust- Try some small thing that will
tax the taste or judgment a little. Send
the child out to buy something of no
great importance, so, that if any mis
take is made no' -harm will follow, yet
still important enough, .for. the.ohild to
feel the necessity of care and thought in
selecting. This will soon learn them
to exercise discrimination and judg
ment in small thmgs,and prepare tho
way to exercise these gifts in larger
matters.
An expedition of this kind rises be
fore me as one. of -the brightest of child
hood memories. It was a time of much
sickness both at homo and in the neigh-,
borhood. Mother was ill, the elder
children either on the sick-list or ab
sent. It was necessary to have sup
plies" from the shire town," twelve
miles distant, where most of the impor
tant shopping in former days was done,
and foreign groceries purchased. The
chaise was at the door, and father,
ready to start on the journey, was mak
ing oat the list of items by mother's
bedside, when he was summoned in
great haste to see a patient.
Here was a dilemma! The purchases
mutt be made; the patient must be
cared for. What was to be done? In
,ihe south hall door I was playine with
the baby, so near the sick-room JTcould
act fail to hear the consultation between
father and mother. He most go to his
patient, but who could be sent for the
articles so much needed?
The "tailoress" would be on hand in
the Boraing, and the , cloth must be
randy for her work. Atailoress was

iruxicu. tvncuicr it was ue
..-j-1 tt-.t f. .. -i
that I should go or not was just
then a secondary consideration. Yet I
was wide awake to catch father's reply.
"Send that child. What does sho
know of buying anything? And, Lucy,
this is a very important errand."
Ah, then my heart collapsed. I
didn't quite want to go the work
seemed so great but I did want father
to think me as trustworthy and capablo
as mother did.
" Yes, if you think it safe for her to
drive so far alone I think you may trust
her to do the errand well. The mer
chants and grocers aro old friends, and
will not take advantago of the child."
"Well, it's the only way left for us,"
said father, with an anxious, dissatisfied
tone, and tho great responsibility was
committed to my care.
It is vain to try to give the thoughts
that surged through my young brain in
that long ride to town, or how anxious
I was on the return ride lest I had for
gotten something, or made some III
advicd purchase But under all the
anxiety and excitement was a dull pain,
remembering as I did that father was
not quite ready to trust me. This pain
didn't leave me until, safe at home, all
the purchases laid out and examined,
he drew me to his kneo, close by moth
er's sick-bed, and kissing me, said,
"Well done, my brave girl! Hasn't sho
done well, mother?"
How much good that day's work,
with tho confidence given, did mo in
after years, giving me all needed cour
age when duties seemed too hard for
me, I can never estimate; but the most
precious of all was the thought of my
mother's trust aud father's approba
tion. It is onlv by such trust and teaching
that children can bo taught to find
pleasure in labor, or in important
cares. Emcl labor of children as a
duty, sternly command, watch with
constant fault-finding and suspicion,
and labor becomes drudgery, and care
of any kind a terror to the young. The
child cither becomes stubborn, or, if
timid and loving, is so nervously afraid
of being blamed that this very fear
leads to prevarication and deceit
Ah! if young mothers knew how
many hours of self-reproach their
mothers pa;s as they look back to the
time when they had their little ones
about them, recalling how many mis
takes they made by overstrictness and
lack of confidence, it might .save tho
young mothers much after-regret, and
their children from yielding to many
temptations.
But each one must have her own in
dividual experiences, and "old wives'
fables" aro not heeded until, after
many mistakes in middle ago, she
learns to know their value. Mrs. II.

A Tragic Story Retold.
Moke than twenty years ago Niagara
witnessed a tragedy which, while of a
heart-rending character, was marked
by an act of true heroism seldom
equaled in grandeur. Mr. Charles
Aldington, a young man about twenty
three or twenty-four j'ears of age, was
allianced to Mfss Do Forrest, both being
residents of Buffalo. One day a happy
party, comprising Mrs. Do Forrest,
a younger daughter, Eva, a beautiful
child five or six years old, and "Char
ley" Addingtou, as his friends were ac
customed to call him visited the Falls.
They crossed tho bridge to Goat Island,
and, while resting under tho trees, lit
tle Eva strayed away from tho group,
and approaching the bank of the nar
row but deep and swift stream that
rushes between Goat Island and the
small island lying between it and tho
main American rapids, was amusing
herself by casting sticks into tho water
and watching them as they were
whirled swiftly away. Mrs. De For
rest, alarmed for her child's safety, re
quested Charley Addington to go after
her and bring her back. Charley at
once proceeded to the bank, and, think
ing to give the little one a fright, ap
proached her stealthily, from behind,
and, catching Her under the arms, held
her over the stream. The startled
child threw up her littlo arms over her
head, and instnntly she slipped through
young Addington's hands and fell into
the rapids.
The realization of tho horrible
calamity must have como to Adding
ton's brain with the rapidity of the
lightning's flash. He saw that his rash
act had cost the child's life that only
one desperate chance of saving har re
mained that tho world was at an end
for him forever. Tearing off his coat,
he rushed along tho bank until he had
1)assed littlo Eva, who was kept afloat
y her clothing; then, plunging in
ahead of her, he seized tho chad and
desperately attempted to throw her up
on the bank. As he mado tho effort he
fell back in the rapids and was whirled
over tho small fall that intervenes be
tween the American Horse Shoe Falls.
Little Eva struck the top of the bank,
but all power had apparently gone
from her, and she rolled back into the
stream and was hurried to her dread
ful fate. The mother and sister stood
powerless and paralyzed with horror
while the tragedy, almost instanta
neous in its action, passed beforo their
eves, leaving its dark cloud hanging
tover all their futuro lives. Charley
Addington had mado a hero's atone
ment for his thoughtless and reckless
act. His father he was an only son-.-was
in tho habit of visiting th'e Falls
once a week for years after the
tragedy, and ho would sit for hours
gazing at tho spot where his son and
little Eva had met thoir Ueaths. Ho
became well known at tho Falls, and
there were many who believed that he
would one day voluntarily seek the
same fate that his son, in his heroism,
had courted. But his sad pilgrimage
had no such ending. N. Y. Hoiir.
Two Tery Tall Skeletons.
The following was copied verbatim
from a note made in his pocket almanac
by the late Judge Atlee: "On the 24th
of May, 1798, being at Hanover (York
County, Pa.,) in company "with Chief
Justice McKcan, Judge Bryan, Mr.
Burd and others, on our way to Frank
lin, and, taking a viow of the town, in
company with Mr. McAlister, and sev
eral other respectable inhabitants, we
went to Mr. Neese's tan-yard, where we
were shown a place near the currying
house from whence (in digging to sink
a tan-vat) some years ago were taken
two skeletons of" human bodies. They
lay close beside each other, and meas
ured about eleven feet three inches in
length; the bones were entire, but on
being taken up and exposed to the air
they presently crumbled and fell to
pieces. Hklr. McAlister and some others
mentioned that they and many" others
had seen them, and Mr. McAlister, who
is a tall man, about six feet four inches
high, mentioned that the principal bone
of the leg of one of theml being placed
by the side of -his log, reached from his

lyes Would have grown sleepy had we
not known that ten minutes more was
to change it into a raging hell. In the
woods oehind us we could hear the
tramp of regiment and brigades in
th forest across the peaceful meadow
regiments and brigades of the enemy
were coming into position. One could
have crossed tho ineadow and scarcely
notice tiny of the preparations for the
bloody struggle ready to bogin.
Now came that dreadful silence which
always falls upon an army iust befare
the ffamo of destruction is lighted. It
is this silence that makes men turn pale
and tremble. If it lasts only five min
utes it seems a whole day. There is no
loud talk no wonls of jest The moat
ruckleiis man feels tho weight of that
ominous silence. H the lino is to be
dressed the order is given in a low
voice, and tho mon step softly. Tho
horses feel the oppression as "well as
the men- Some move uneasily about,
others staud perfectly quiet ears point
ed forward and eyes searching the
woods bevond.
"Crash! Bang! Roar!"
The opening of the battle comes as
suddenly as a thunder-clap, and there
is a movement of relief up and down
the lines. Tho spell is broken in an in
stant, and men and horsos aro anxious
to movo. Tho songs of birds aro re-
(ilaced by the roar of guns, tho sleepy
laze in the air gives way to a cloud of
smoke, and peace stands aghast as tho
murderous shells strike in solid lines
and scatter men or fragments of men
over tho grass and even among tho
limbs of the trees.
We aro roady to movo, but we stind
as if on parade. The brigade to tho
left swings out and the one to tho right
is slowly hidden by the smoke. Bullets
are singing over our heads and throw
ing up the dirt in front but wo are held
there until the curses of tho men be
como loud and denp.
All of a sudden tho roar is increased.
Tho enemy has planted a battery on a
hill to our left, aud is plunging shot and
shell into tho (lank of all the troops on
our right Down our front sweeps, an
avalancho of destruction, clearing our
own lines, and shattering others be
yond. Now wo move and chango front to
face tho battery. The line in front of
U3 stalks grimly into the smoke, and
the line behind us makes its presenco
known by a steady tramp! tramp!
tramp! One cannot tell whether it is
a singlo regiment or a whole brigade
moving oQ to charge the battery, for the
smoko has now dnftod down upon us
until tho tenth man to the right or left
can barely bo counted. Wo can hear
no order, but tho line goes straight
ahead until clearofadipin tho meadow,
and then it suddenly springs forward.
Men cheer, but in that awful roar the
voico of a man could not be heard ten
feet away.
Men fall to the right and left The

and men are stepped on or leaped over
as they throw up their arn)3 and fall up
on the grass and scream out in agony
of mortal wound. It is a nightmare of
death. The rank and file hear no orders,
see no officers, and yet they push on,
the line now dressed a3 if on parade
again bent like a crawling . serpent
Bayonets are fixed, but we are right
upon the guns before wo sec our enemy.
No one has an order to give, and no order
could be heard. Tho line moves ahead
or falls back as if it were controlled by
a lever, and yet no one can see how.
Each man acts for himself, and yet all
act together.
There is a struggle over the guns.
Men are shot and bayoneted as they
ram home the charges. The guns are
discharged upon struggling masses not
ten feet from the muzzles. Now our
linos retreat Why so we cannot tell.
A dozen of us aro "fighting over a field
pieco shooting, stabbing and clubbing
but we fall back and reform. Half of
the guus are silent, but the others are
pouring grape into us across a space
not three hundred feet wide. No one
seems to give any orders, but all at
onco our fines movo forward again
with a cheer. No one sees his right or
left-hand man. For the time each one
is alone. The lino bends back doubles
up straightens out surges ahead
falls back springs forward, and again
we aro among tho field pieces. Bayo
nets and sabers clash. Muskets are
clubbed to deal blows after bayonets
are broken. There is a terrible roar
a thick smoke a constant cheering,
and the horrible nightmare forces a
singlo man to attack a dozen.
Ah! what i3 this? All at once there
is a lull. Men look around in astonish
ment. Wounds unfclt livo minutes ago
begin to bring groans now. What has
happened? The smoko drifts away and
the explanation is at hand. We have
captured the guns and killed, captured
or routed tho regiment of infantry in
support It was a bayonet charge, re
sisted by bayonets, and we have won.
Thero are ten acres of meadow covered
with dead and wonnded with knap

and swords, and yet it was only one
simple move on the chess-board of tho
battle-field. Tho guns are turned on
the enemy, our lines re-formed in rear,
and men ask if it is really so that we
stalked in the shadow of death for half
an hour. It seems like a dream; it

LiriBg Beyond Oar Means.
I have often wondered why it was
that people will be so utterly "blind to
their own interest and future welfare as
to live in a style beyond their income,
so that they can appear as others, who
are more highly favored financially, but
which can only bring to them galling
mortification and misery in the end. 1
know it is of quite frequent occurrence
in large cities that a family may to-day
be apparently wealthy and move in the
best society, while to-morrow's sun
may find them penniless and friendless.
Yet whilo in the country comparatively
few keep up this hollow show, we are
not without such people. I once knew
a farmer s family, who, by industry and
economy had become what was thought
very comfortably situated. The mother,
however, had some very high notions
of her own. about education and refine
ment (who, by the way was very illiterate).-
and said her daughters must
not work as She had to, but be educated.
And as they could not afford to do all
this and keep up a stylish appearance
too, they did not hire servants, and so
the whole burden of household cares
rested on her alone. During vacation
their time was wholly occupied playing
croquet going a-nutting, or picnicking
and entertaining their newly-made
friends, therefore the mother's work
was greatly increased, instead of being
diminished by their assistance. There
was no time for the poor tired woman
ever to take a peep into a book or
paper, and thereby Keep pace with her
daughters in the attainment of general
knowledge. At last their education
was considered finished." Then
arose a most perplexing question as

will long hold its placo among the gems
of American poetry. But tho days
when the only means of transportation
on our great Western rivers was the
flat-boat havo passed away. It may al
most bo said to bo a thing of the past,
and hence the lino flavor of General
Butler's poom is lost to a great degree
to a generation who only know of it by
tradition.
A voyage from Pittsburgh to New
Orleans" by flatboat was an enterprise
once of greater peril than a tour around
the world is now. It wa certain to bo
full of adventure. It required montlis
for its accomplishment A shot from
the shore by some Indian or reckless
desperado might termiuate abruptly tho
voyago and tho lives of tho navigators
in blood. A moment's neglect of the
steersman might wreck tho unshapely
craft and all tho hopes of its owners
hundreds of miles from home and in an
inhospitable wilderness. There was
danger everywhere in the currents,
eddies, whirlpools, bayous and snags of
tho tortuous Father of Waters; but
thero was no less danger from the half
eivilizod dwellers on the bauks. The
outlawed criminals and the desperate
adventurers from civilization skulked
about tho shores or prowled with light
canoes among the bayou3 and creeks,
watching for chances to plunder, even
it murder was necessary to aid them.
A flatboat voyage down the great rivers
was perilous enough from natural
causes, even if man's inhumanity to
man had not incro.ised the peril. In
thoso days the Government had not
thought of suagboals, and the Missis
sippi whs full of half-hidden dangers.
The current was constantly changing.
It was easy to be deceived into an old
channel from which there was no re
turn. B.iyous were often traps watery
culs-dc-sac leading nowhere but to
ruin. Tho organized river pirates and
wreckers wcro always on the lookout
for unwary vo3'agers, so that a blight
mishap generally ended in complete
disaster. If, under such circumstances,
tho flatboat man reached his distant
home, footsore and weary but penni
less months after leaving it, lie was
lucky.
lu tho earl days of flatboating a safe
return, evon when the veuture had not
proved financially profitable, was a
grand event and the occasion of tumul
tuous joy. The business bred a certain
class who sought it for its adventure
and dangers as much as for its profits.
The river pirates met in the flat-boatmen
of that early day a class ready,
eager and willing for tho fray--a class
which, like tho ranchcros of the plains,
accounted a trip tame and spiritless if
unattended with danger. They were
rough and ready, careless and care
free. Dreamily floating down the
Ohio, they whiled away with song and
danco tho lazy hours. JTho boatman's
horn waked tho echoes from distant
hills more musical than steamboat
whistle or that ear-distracting horror,
the calliope. It was a romantic life,
befitting the graud scenory and rude
time. Pfincty days on a slow-moving
flat-boat, the scenery constantly chang
ing but ever wild aud beautiful, was a
thing never to be forgotten. The spice
of danger in it gave it zest. An occa
sional adventure with river sharks only
relieved monotony and added interest
It is difficult for one looking on tho
Ohio River to realize that once flat
boats, broad-horns, the queerest craft
that ever floated, did all the transporta
tion business from its head-waters to
New Orleans. A flat-boat scarce
moving, with rude arrangements for
cooking on deck, almost under water,
with long oars awkwardly attached to
the Bides, is a type of its time almost as
grotesque and odd as the Viking ship
recently dug up in Norway. Perhaps
one day it will excite as much archaeo
logical wonder, for it already recalls a
time wo fail to understand a condition
of society and of our country we can
scarcely appreciate. The leisure-loving,
deliberate, slow-moving flat-boat was
fast enough for its day and people.
There was luck in its leisure. But the
flat-boat has passed away, and the boat
man never will wind his horn again.
He sleeps as soundly as the warrior
poet and his ear is as dead to the sad,
sweet music of the boatman's horn.

"Pray, Mr. Wood, how do you spell

Upon which the astonished lawyer
laid down his pen, saying it was the

Thi? other night, soon after a ward
meeting had opened, ono of the elect

as if he meant to leae the place. He
was soon stopped by a friend, who said:
"Don't leave us now, I want you to
hear what that speaker is sajing. Hear
that! He says we must triumph or the
country is doomed."
" Yes. I know, but I've got to edge
along towards home," was the reply.
"Home? Great heavens! liow'can
3ou talk of going home until he has
finished that speech? There he goes
ng.iin! He asks if you want to see
grass growing in the streets nl our
cities our fertile farms returned to the
wilderness our families crowding the
poor-houses until thero is no longer
room to receive another?"
"No, I don't know as I would, but I
guess I'll sort o' work my way out"
"Wait fifteen minutes ten lire
wait until he finishes. There it is
again! He asks whether you are a free
mau or a slave? He wants to know if
you have forgotten tho patriotic prin
ciples defended b the blood of your
grundsircs if you have forgotten the

" I don't know as I have, but I must
go really I must."
" Hear that hear that! Ho says
your country will bless you."
" I can't say as to that," replied tho
man. as he crowded along; " but I'm
deatl sure that the old woman will if I
don't git home in time to put this cod

"Great guns! but do you prefer coil
fish to liberty?" exclaimed the other.
"I don't know as I do, but I gitmoro

" And you will see this country min

"I'd be kinder sorry to see her go

Palestine.
The progress which has been made
in Palestine during the lat twenty-five
ears U especially evident in the erec
tion of man new buildings. In Jeru
salem, inside the town, ruined hous?
have been restored or rebuilt Outride
the old town are entirely new suburbs,
tho extension being made especially
toward the west. The Jews have
formed among themselves building so
cieties, which have erected long'bar-rack-like
buildings adapted for several
families. The number of dwellings
during the Last twenty-five years has
been trebled. Bethlehem conveys the
impression of a newly-built town. In
Jaffathetown wall has "been demolished,
the ditch filled up and a number of new
houses and magazines, even palatial
buildings, have been erected. So also
in the gardens of Jaffa many new houses
have been erected, and to the south and
north of the town complete Arabic sub
urbs, mostly by sottlers from Egypt
In Ramlch, also, new houses arc seen,
still more in Haifa. Nazareth has in
creased in size, and looks as if it bad
been rebuilt Tiberias also has its new
houses; in Jenin a new military arsenal
has been erected, as also in Nablus,
along with a fine new barrack. In the
latter place tho once lonely valley
toward the east has assnmed quite a
homely aspect, and in the town arc
manv new private buildings and also a
new khan; there arealso the new school,
the Roman monastery and the buildings
of the Protestant Mission. In Bethle
hem a new barrack and arsenal have
been erected. Through the schools and
the increasing trade the working people
have acquired greater style and taste,
and the newer houses are thns mostly
a great improvement on the old not
the oldest which, as a rule, are well
built Nearly all the houses have now
jla3s windows, a rare thing twenty
o
years ago.

Work Kcueucd Upon tho Washington
Monument.
TwENTV-Fivr. years ago work was sus
pended on tho Washington Monument,
after having attained the height of liO
feet. In the years that intervened be
tween the stoppage of work up to two
years ao nothing was done towanl
completing the structure, and it Mood
as an emblem of unpatriotic devotion
of a great people to the illiutrlous man
who led the American armie.s to victory
over an oppressive foe. One hundred
years after the birth of the Amerii an
llcpublic. Congress took step to com
plete the monument Two years and
more were devoted to strengthening
the foundations, so that the monument
would stand tho pre5.suro of the addi
tional 20,000 tons of stone necessary to
take it up to the height originally in
tended 500 feet. For some weeks now
the top of the monument has thown
signs of activity and life. 'J he old
board covering and the rotten derrick,
which stood the Hummer heat and tho
wintry blasts for twenty-five oars. dis
appeared, and in their places nppeared
evidences of modern machinery and
hoisting apparatus, and a score of work
men engaged in removing the upper
layers of Mone, injured by the water
and the frosts. Under the direction of
Colonel Casey, tho Commissioner ot
Public Buildings and Grounds, the work
upon the monument has progressed
very rapidly. Tho diameter of the
mouument at tho base is fifty-six feet,
of which thirtj--one feet is of mason
ry, the well-hole in the center be
ing twentv-live feet At tho height
jf 150 feet the thickness of the ma-on-rv
is eleven feet eight inches, and this
Colonel Casey thiuks is wholly unnec
essary, anil so he proposes from thij
point" up to reduce tho thickness about
three feet, making the distance from
the outside edge of the marble to tho
inside line of the granite eight feet eight
inches. By doing this the base of tho
monument will be relieved of much
pressure and the structuro will b
stronger. The filling in back of the
marble to the line of the well hole from
the base up to the present height has
been done with irregular-sized blue
stone and cement In removing tho
upper laver of stone for the distance ol
about two and a half feet all sizes ot
stone were found from the size of a
man's hand to a block eighteen inches
thick and two or three feet in length.
An even surface has now been made,
and from this point up nothing but
cut granite blocks, every ono made to
lit in its placo. will ic nut in. The old
plan of putting in blucstone helter
skelter will not be followed, but instead
a regular course of granite. An ele
vator has been erected inide the mon
ument which carries all the stone and
material to the top, and as the work
progresses this will be extended up
wards also. The elevator Ls a perma
nent one, and when the monument is
finished will be used to take pa?engcrs
to the top. Colonel Caey told your
correspondent while standing on the
top of the monument that he expected
to add twenty-five feet to the height
before cold weather sets in- Before
the end of this fiscal year, the 50th of
next June, he feels confident that sev
enty feet will be added to the monu
ment, making the height then 22) feet
A large number of memorial jstoncs,
contributed to the monument twenty
five or thirty years ago. are in a small
frame building on the monument
gronnds. These he docs not intend to
bni'd into the monument proper, but
will have them made thin and fastened
on the inside as it goes up bv copper
bolts. As these stone are of irregular
sizes. Colonel Ca?ey says it will not be
advisable to put them into the wall of
the monument proper, because it will
interfere with the regularity of the
structure. All will be used, however,
and made to show to advantage. Verr
many of the memorial stoaes in the
monument on the inside facing the
well-hole, are badly injured by the wa
ter running down upon them aad tk
effects of the weather. A number of
these were elaborately lettered in gilt,
and the lettering is almost illegible.
