The traveler of to-day journeys from
whatever < | Urter toward the federal oapi
tfll first locates the Garden city by th
diitunt view ho catches , not cf the whit
dome of the Capitol building as of yore
but of a lull , brilliantly white shaft , glistening
toning in Ilio ui , , whose top secminKl
disappears In tlio mists nbovo. Ilo
speculates ns to its probable distance
away , ns to its height , nnd loarna , if lit
dyes nnt know , thnt the column is th <
great Washington monument , and men
tnlly rcaolvca , when arrived , to know
more about it , and mount to the top il
possible. What thia traveler will sco
and learn , when ho visits this great work
a monument not only tooxaltcd worth ,
but to engineering science nnd tkill , we
shall relate.
Nearly at the intersection of the tw (
lines , one through the center of the cap !
lol , east and west , the other through tin
center of the White Houao , north am
south , on the bank of the Potomac , on n
knoll twenty-six foot above tide water
stands the monument , grand in its loft ;
simplicity of white marble , the pubh
groundn nxlonding away to the east am
north of it. Ono gazca upon n nhaft fif
ty.fivo feet pqunro nt ita baao , nnd rising
to a height of 500 feet above the floor
the last wall atone being laid on the ! > tl
of August , just 101 years and two day
from the date of the first oongrcsalona
reaolution to erect n memorial to Goorg (
Washington. This vast height will aoon
bo increased by n pyramidal roof of mar
bio 55 foot hign n height juat equal to
the haao of the uhaft , and a little les
than one-tenth of the whole altitude 5Di
foot proportions determined aftorinqui
ry and correspondence with those having
acquaiutnnco with the dimensions of an
cicnt obelisks , an giving the tnoa
striking nnd ploaaing effect. When
the roof bogma the diamolor o
the nquaro in 3 > l feet 0 inches. To road
the top of the monument , ono nscendn :
( doping terrace 17 foot high some 200 fco
on the crest , and paesing through n loft ;
doorway , where _ Ilio walls on all aides an
15 feet thick , enters a chamber , whicl
for a height of 150 fuot la 25 fcot equaro
and then enlarges nt 100 foot to 31 fco
0 inches oquaro. Hero , in the corners
hang huge plummets from various
hcighln by means of which the rotation !
of the shafts duo to the sun'n heat nm
added loads , nro constantly noted and ro
corded. An iron frame-work rising up
ward in the center of the well oupport
the utairway of nearly 000 mops nnd tin
fltcam olovntor , which nro the means o
ascent. Above 500 tons of stone am
ether material liavo boon oafely raiacd ii
the progress of the work by this car
having n capacity of six tons. Stopping
upon the olnvntor it ntarls upward , ant
soon the litlln light entering the door is
fnr behind , and ono journeys in darkness
nnd ftiloiico experiencing n docidcdlj
peculiar oonsation , it it bo the first trip
What if the steel cables ahoulc
break ? Some ono suggests it ,
but there is no reply. There
in no inclination to talk. Acroea thooaai
nnd west interior faces run platforms L' (
fcot npart , connected by llighta of atopa ,
and on n piano with the eye nbovu there
ro inserted in the walla ninny memorial
blocks presented by states and foreign
governments. They nro great blocks ol
native atone , bcnring patriotic inscrip
lions , and where from | a stnto , character' '
izcd by its coat of armu cut thereon ,
Seventy-six foot above the floor , in the
east wall , is n block of Quincy granite , 0
'cot by ( i foot , with the arms of the state
landaomoly sculptured , under which ia
'Moaaachuaetta" in largo black letters.
\.t 150 foot ia the point where work was
resumed by the government , August ,
880. In reply to an inquiry it is learned
that the computed weight of the inonu-
nont is about 85,000 tons. At laat
you rest. Through to daylight in ton
ninutc.s.
What a vision ! Beyond , ( iO miles
away , are Eocn the inountalna in the
'Old Dominion. " The broad Potomac
windii a thread oa It diaappuara down the
valley. There , on an opposite shore ,
nulut green Holds , gathered in heroic
sleep , nro 15,000 of the imtion'a defend-
> ! ) , their bivouac marked by countleaa
leadotonoa. Donoath and iiround lies
ho city with Ita oorJon of grcon hilla.
Streets appear in width Iilcoalloy8thousca

iiwna with ( lowers , like figured caructa.
L'ho goddcua on the capitol ia 1M ! feet
) elow. Ono ia as near the atnm ai ho
cm get by utaira or utenm. There is but
ono higher point , the apiro on Cologne
cathedral , 5L'5 feet high , but It will lose
hia distinction before the snow files.
\ppronehing it , however , will bo the
lyrumid of Chuopj , 485 foot ; Lindahut
piro , 108 ft ; Strasburg'J05 , and St. Po
or's ' , Home,457. Workmen nro erecting
derricks to sot the roof. The timbers
iroject CO fcot above , and where the onda
ncot n man awings in u chair nt work. A
tot extending around the top of the wall
ma thus far prevented leas of lifo by fall-
ng. The visitor , however , doca not feel
mrticularly reassured , and approaches
he edge with tinnJity.und the reflection ,
vliat if ho should fall. The marble roof
vlll bo conatructed on arched ribs of urn-
onry , mooting near its apex , and spring-
ng from the interior walla > I70 fcot from
ho floor. What of the foundation of
hia great shaft/ / Originally , the fonnda-
Ions of bluognoias rock , covered an area
of only C100 equaro feet ; being doomed
iiaulliciont , however , by the greatest of
engineering feata , they wore deepened
1 id extended BO aa to cover an area of
( i.OOiJ square foot. This was done with
ho shaft at 150 foot , weighing over ! ! 0-
100 tona , nnd without miahap or acci
dent.

A word 0.3 to the hiatory of the menu-
nent. On the 7th of Auguat , 1783 , the
Continental Congress roaolvod , "That an
qucstrian statute of Gen. Wniihington bo
rectod at the ] > lace where the residence
f coiiL'roaa ahall bo catabliohod , " to bo
ppropriatoly inscribed on the base. Hut
he work waa not thun ordered. Decem
ber 21th , 179 ! ' , aftorWaahington'sdoath ,
ongreaa resolved , "That a marble mon-
uncnt bo erected by the United States
it the city of Washington nnd that the
amily of Gen. Washington bo requested
o penult his body to bo deposited under
' , nnd that it be no designed as to com-
lommornto the great events of hia mil-
; ary nnd political lifo. "
liut the resolutinn was not executed ,
n May , 1800. n eolcct committee of con-
ross , reported rotolutions to carry into
nuncdiato effect the reaolution of 178 ; ! ,
nd nlco that ono proposing n monument
'pun consideration , the ono relating to
ho statue wna nmendcd by Hubatitutini ; a
mtiaolcum to bo erected instead. No
ppropriation was then made , but later ,
n the 1st of Jnnuury , 1801 , u bill passed
lie houao appropriating 8200,000 , but in
lie eonato waa indefinitely postponed ,
rnrious attempts wore subacquontly
undo to revive the resolutions and exc-
ute them , by one or the ether house.but
liuy signally failed.
At lust in 181)11 ) , congress failing to ful- '
fill its obligations , a number of prom !
nent citizens of the country formed ;
voluntary association to erect a grea !
"national monument to the memory of
Washington"thisbeing the thing propcs
till by congress. Chief Justice John
Marshall waa ita first president , he being
succeeded by ex-preaidctit Jamea Madi
son. The amount received from any one
pernon being limited to $1 , the progress
fif the society wan at first slow. In 181" hav
ing collected $87,000 , preparations were
made to commence work. In January ,
1818 , congress authorized the erection o ,
the monument on public ground to bo se
lected by the president of the Unitei
States and the aociety. They chose the
present silo because it had been aclectci
by Washington himaelf for n propoaec
monument to the heroes of the revolu
tion , and is alno marked on the firat plan
\Vaahington city as the site for the
equestrian atatue proposed in J783. The
corner-stone waa laid July ! , 1818 , with
imposing ceremonies in the presence o :
congress nnd the aelminiatrativo branch
of the government. The oration waa pro
nounccd by Robert C. Winthrop , then
speaker of the houao , Wnahington'o
Maaonio gnvol and the apron ho wore , as
also his ledge chair , wore nil used by the
grand master mason who "squared the
stono. " Worlc progressed steadily , ami
in 1855 the monument waa ICO fcot high ,
At thia time the pope presented the society
oty n fine block of marble from the torn
pie of Concord in Homo for the inonu
mcnt. It was received , but soon thcro
after destroyed at night by a band of excited -
cited know-nothings to whom it was m
object of acctarlan and political hatred.
It has never boon replaced. Among the
contributions to the monument are blocks
from China , Japan , Turkey , Bremen.
Greece , Brazil , Switzerland , the Grecian
archipclogo , Siam , all the states of the
United , the cities of Boston , J\ow York
Baltimore , Washington. Salem , I Iaha.
Philadelphia and many others. In the
light of subsequent events , the inscrip
tions on the atones from the south nro n
commentary on hiatory , ns "Louisiana ,
over faithful to the constitution and the
Union1' ; "Tennessee , the Federal Union ,
it must bo preserved ; " "Alabama , equal !
ty before the constitution , " nnd others o :
line import may bo read.
Intercut in the monument now flagged ,
and the war soon coming , r.ll action concerning
corning It cpaaed. In 1872 , and for several
oral succoaaivo cessions , the attention o
congress was urged toward the necessity
of completing a work , which , as it atood ,
had become a national disgrace. In Au
gust , 1879 , an appropriation of ? 200,000
was made , which has since been supple
mented by appropriations aggregating
§ 700,000. The society having apenl
$21)0,000 ) , the monument will have coat
when finished , § 1,130,000. The con
struction Is under a commission of iivo
oflicials , of whom the president of the
United States is one. There is an engi
neer oilicor , nnd an assistant detailed by
the president to ouporiutond the vrork.
By joint resolution adopted at the List
session of congress , the dedication of the
monument will occur February 22 , next
and the resolution provides for the presence -
enco of all military und naval forces oi
the Union , a parade of the militia and the
aeorot societies of the country ; delega
tions of citizens from the states and cities
an oration by Robert 0. Winthrop and
ether features , The parade will probably
bo the fincat in numbers since the war ,
and it should bo. Tito inauguration oc
curing twelve days later , moat of the
military will probably remain encamped
to await that event also.

Sketch from n traveler's ' note book : I
was smoking my chibong ono day on the
wide veranda of n bungalow , or govern
ment inn , in Northern India. It was
January , but the v eathor waa intensely
hot , and my Dak Ghnrra , with its
roiitrh , untrained horses , had stopped
lioro for a midday rest. My native ser
vant , Chuddy-Lnll , whom 1 nicknamed
"liandy Andy , " on account of certain
unhandy ways and a merry twinkle of
the eye that indicated no lack of Ilibor-
inin humor , came up to the porch , and ,
with n salnam , aaid , "Would Sahib like
o BOO Lhndoaalanoo man make tricka. ' "
'Yea , bring him on. " I ouapccted the
ellow waa consulting his own fondness
or amusement more than mine , but it
vns too hot to sloop , nnd J was ready for
anything that would kill time.
A tall , fine-looking Hindoo , with a
clear-cut , intelligent fuco , nnd eyes that
ookcd straight nt you , with no indica-
iou of "ways that , are dark and tricks
hat are vain , " next appeared on tlio
cone. Ilo was dressed in the long ,
vhite robe of hia race , with a rich cash-
norp shawl round his waiat , and hia sal-
itation and manners wore respectful
vithout the least shade of servility. Ho
vaa followed by two attendants carrying
ho various implements of hia profession ,
vhich they spread out before him , and a
lozon or two hangora-on of all ages
grouped themselves nt n respectful dia-
anco to on joy the free show.
The ground in front of the bungalow
vaa paved with largo flat atones , nnd
upon ono of tlicso the conjuror Boated
amsolf , curling his legs under him in
Oriental fashion , and nskod in Ilindo-
atanoo , "What special trick would the
Sahib like to sooT At the same time he
> arcd his long arms , well formed but not
nuacular , and untied hia shawl to open
its robe nnd allow mo that there waa no
concealed mechanism about hia person.
1 tolJ him through Handy Andy , that
would like tn hnvo him perform the
'Mango trick"which I had acen once bo
ore at Delhi without being able to peno-
rate ita mysteries. He nodded iiwent ,
ind.taking n box about ten inches equate ,
llled it with earth , and in it planted n
nango-nut about the eii'.a of an English
valiuit , having first handed it to mo for
xruiiiimtion. Ilo then made n tripod or
ramo work of thrco sticks , six or eight
cot lonr { and tied together at the top ,
ilncod it over the box and covered the
ivliolu witli n piece of white muslin. Tlio
uly thing thus far that looked like churl-
taniam was n muttered incantation , roll
ng up hia eyes , with outatrotched palms ,
s if appealing for aid to aomo higher
) owcr.
Again seating himaolf on the stone
lagging , not moro than ton fcot from the
urnnda , lie went through the most aa-
onishiug performances of alight of hand
ricka , such na swallowing swords , toss-
ng ball ? in .the nir which never seemed
o como down , drawing from hia niou'.h
olorcd ribbons of interminable length ,
tc.Bomo of which 1 had seen done bo-
ore , but never In broad daylight. Ilo
orrowcd my watch , ninahed it to ( lin
ers , and then mysteriously returned it
unhnrmcd to my pocket , lie burned in ;
handkerchief , and then poured from :
vial eomo elixir upon the ashes , and th
linen waa returned to me without the
smell of fire on its hem.
These and many moro curious thinsi
ho did for nearly an hour with the mos
intcneo gravity of manner and an air n
candor that would disarm suspicion. 51y
eyes were wide open and I watched hirr
so intently an scarcely to wink , and yet .
was tmablo to detect a single flaw no
ace unt for one of those transformations
Some of the tricks he repeated at my
request , but the result was the name. A
thu critical moment his motions wore
quick as lightning. In all cases where
fire was used I noticed that ho tithe :
poured some liquid or throw a whilisl :
powder upon the llaines , which producot
for nn instant a dotisa smoke , and left
pungent , aromatic odor in the nir.
In the mormtimo the mango tree was
growing. Four times , at Intervals of tci
or fifteen minulca , ho raised the imislir
cover to report progress. The first time
a sprout three or four inches long ap
poarcd , at which ho expressed much sat
isfaction , and carefully sprinkled it from
n email watering-pot. The next time it
was n foot high , and the loaves scorned to
bo just forming. The third time it waa
was fully two feet in height , and appear
cd to bo growing most vigorously. A
the close of his other performances hi
tossed aside the enveloping cloth and tci
pod of sticko , and lo ! thcro was n mango
tree or bush , about five foot in height
with perfectly formodlcavcsand branches
J lo brought it to mo , and 1 satintiod my
self beyond question that it was a real
live tree by breaking off a branch , whicl
I kept as a souvenir. Ilo then pulled i
up by the roots , to which was uttnchei
the nut partially decayed nnd coverot
with fine , fibrous sprouts , Ilo then
mptied the earth from the box to nhow
mo that nothing wan concealed within it
When it is berne in mind that all thi
was done in broad daylight , with no per
son usually near him , the performer'
arms being bare to the shoulders , am
seated on a atone pavement , it ia not nur
prising that the bystanders seemed fillet
with amazement , not unmixed with avro
Their faces would have boon to mo an in
tcrcating study if my own attention Imc
not boon so closely riveted on the con
juror.
Through Handy Andy , an interpreter
I offered to him twenty rupees if ho
would disclose to mo the secret of th
mango tree. I then doubled and ttcblcc
the oiler , but ho only shook his head
and I presume 1,000 rupees would have
been no temptation. I rewarded bin
with a generous "tip , " and for a moment
regretted that I wan not a showman by
profession. If 1 could have secured his
services for an American ongagomon1
there would have boon "millions In it. "

Np ono can entertain a high idea ol
the intelligence and sonao of a man who
dons a plumed hclmpt , carries a tin
hatchet , shoulders an ill-smelling torch ,
and marches through mud and slush , or
dirty streets , over rough cobblestones ,
and all for nothing , since only his vote
counts after nil. They toll ua that nil
thia rnckot and barbarous infringement
of the rights of quiet people rouses en
thusiasm , fires the popular heart , and
keeps men up to the voting point. Oh ,
does it' Well , so far ns our experience
goes , It rouses righteous wrath rather
than enthusiasm , it disturbs the peace ,
it engenders ill-feeling and bitterness ,
gives aid and comfort to the "hoodlum"
clement , it encourages boys and young
men toapend their nights upon the street ,
waatoa money thnt might bo much bettor

denies the balm of sleep to the weary ,
plants thorns in the pillows of mothers
