THE BELLS OF MOSCOW.
Tl 1I1t lt.v-TheJrint Bell-Th" I van
Vower MUNie ul (ho liell, Ktr.
Th foreign correspondent of the N. V. 06
rmerkaa the following article on "The Bells of
Voroow" In the lMt isHue of that paper:
At th foot of the Iran Tower, in the Krem
lin of Moaoov, supported by a pedestal of
atone, is the largest bell in the world, and pro
bably the largest that ever was in the world.
A pieoe is broken out of its side, and the frag
ment il lying near. The breadth of the bell is
bo great it is twenty feet across that the
cavity underneath had been ueed as a chapel,
where as many people oau eland as in a circle
Sixty feet around.
In Russia the bell is an infltrnmnnt of mtnio
for the worship of Uod as truly and really as
the organ In any other country. This faut is
not mentioned in the accounts we hare of the
wonderful, enormous, and almost incredibly
lieavy bells that hare been cast in Mmoow,
but it is the key to what would otherwise be
difficult to explain. It appears to be stupid
to oast bells so large as to be next to imnc:;i'oie
or convenient tiBe, in ;Kcr always of falling
and dragging others to ruin in their fall. Bat
when the bell Si a medium of ootutnanlcation
with the lufinit, and the worship of a people
and an empire finds expression in the majestio
tones of a bell, it oeases to be a wonder that a
bell should have a tongue which requires
twenty-four men to move, and whose music
should Bend a thrill of praise into every house
in the city and float away beyond the river into
the plains afar.
Moscow is the holy city of the Greek Church.
Pilgrims come hither from thousands of miles
off, and on foot, and sometiaies without
nboes. I have seen them, with staves in
their bauds, and their travel-worn feet wound
npin cloths, wending their way to the sacred
hill. Aud when they draw nigh unto the
city, and on the evening air the music of these
holy bells is Drat borne to their ear3, they fall
npon their faces, prostrate, and worship God.
If they could go no further, they would be
content to die there, for they have heard the
belli) of Moscow, and on their majestic tones
.their son Is have been taken up to heaven I
This is the sentiment of tha superstitious
peasant; and it is a beautiful sentiment, ideal
indeed, but all the more delicate and exalted.
As long as five hundred years ago, thU cast
ing of bells was an art in Russia. It is one of
the fine arts now. l'erhaps -our great bell
founders, the Meueelys, will not admit that
the founders there have any more skill in
their manufacture than we have, and I am not
enre that their bells have any tones more ex
quisite than ours would have if we would put
as much silver and gold into our bell metal as
they do. But so long as those precious metals
are at the present premium, little or none of
them will liud its way into our church bells.
We have not the mistaken idea of the Russian
as to the u-ie of a bell. We uso it to call the
people to the house of worship. They use the
bell for worship. Our bells speak to us. Their
bells praide God. They cast their (silver and
their gold into the molten mass, and it be
comes an offering, as on an altar, to Ilim who
Is worshipped with every silvery note and
golden tcne of the holy bell.
This one great bell is the growth of centu
ries. In 1553 it was cast, and weighed enly
3G,000 pounds. It fell in a fire and was recast
in 1654, being Increased to the astonishing
weight of 288,000 pounds. ThiB was too vast
a weight to be taken up to the top of the tower,
and it was sustained by a frame at the foot of it.
In 1706 it fell In another fire and wa$ broken
into fragments, which lay there on the ground
about thirty years. It was recast in 1733, and
our years afterwards a pieoe was knocked out
cf the side of it, and it has been standing here
on the ground more than a century. It
Weighs 444,000 poundul In tbe thickest part
It is two feet through. It has relief pic
tures on it of the Emperor and Empress, of
the Saviour and the Virgin Mary, and the
Evangelists.
Ascending the Ivan tower, we And on three
eucoesfcl ve stories bells to the number of thirty
four. Some of these are of a sue to fill one
with astonishment had he not seen the giant
below.' The largest is on the first story above
the chapel, and weighs more than sixty tons.
It swings freely and is easily rung. I smote
it with the palm of my hand, supposing that
such a blow could not produce the slightest
vibration in such a mighty mass of iron, but
it rnDg out as clear and startling as if a spirit
within had responded to my knock without.
Two bells are of solid silver, and their tones
are exquisitely soft, liquid, and pure. It was
exoiting to go from one to another and strike
them witU their tongues, or with your hand,
and -catoh the variety and richness of their
several melodies.
The chapel below is dedicated to the patron
faint of all ladies About to be married, and it
may be readily believed that the bell that
gives expression to t&eirt prayers will have,
at least to their ears, ti.e sweetest tone of all
the bells in MosooW.
I had come down from the Kremlin to my
lodgings at Billot's, and, wearied with the VTaS?
deringa of the day, was lying on the bed and
looking out on the city. It is just before sun
set, and the day has been oppressively warm.
A deliciouu glow from the gorgeous west is
bathing all the domes and roofs with splendid
-Mors, and silence is stealing in with the set
ting sun n'Pa the crowded town. It is the
eve of one of their moat holy festivals pf the
Church. One vast church edittoe is direotiy
in view of my window, and but a short way off.
As I lie mnsi"" from this church at hand
Comes tne softest,' sweetest tone of an evening
bell. Anoiher tone reapon;. A t-'ri i?
heard. The Ivaa tower on the height of
the Kremlin utters his tremendous voice, like
the voice of many waters. And all the churches
and towers over the whole city, lour Hundred
bells and more, in concert, in harmony, "with
notes almost divine," lilt up their voices in
an anthem of praise, such as I never thought
to hear with mortal ears; waves of melody, an
ocean of music, deep, rolling, heaving, chang
ing, swelling, sinking, lising, sounding, over
whelming, exalting.
I had heard the greit organs of Europe,
but they were tame and trilling compared
with this. The anthem of Nature at Niagara
1b familiar to my ear, but its thunder is one
great monotone. The music of Mosoow's bells
is above and beyond them all. It is the voice
of the people. It utters the emotions of mil
lions of loving, beating, longing hearts, not
enlightened, perhaps, like yours, but all
crying out to the Great Father, in these
Bolmn and inspiring tones, as if these tongues
had voices to cry: "Iloly, Holy, Holy, Lord
(lod Almighty, Heaven and Earth are full of
Thy glory."

appointed by the President says:
'Taken as a whole. TBE PNION PACIFIC R4.IL

CEEDINGLY WELL SELECTED. The energy aud
perseverance with which the work has been urged
forward and the rapidly with which It has been
execnttd are without parallel In h Btory, and In gran"
deur and magnitude ot undertaking It hai never been
equalled." The Report states that any deilclencles
that exist are only those Incident to all newroads, and
that oould not have been avoided without materially
retarding the progress of the great work, Buch defi
ciencies are supplied by ail railroad companies after
the completion of the lice, when and wherever expe
rience shows thtru to be ceceesary. The report con
cludes by spying thai "the country has reason to con
gratulate llse'f that this reat work of national Im
portance Is so rapidly anproachlng completion under
such (avoraMe auapicea." The Company now have la
use 137 locomotives aud nearly 2u(j0cais of all de crip,

the Government takes a second lien as security. The

By Its charter, tbe Company Is permitted to Issue
Its own FIRST MORTOAOE BONDS to the same
amount as the Government Bonds. - e.
These Bonda iio .mortgage npon tha whole
road and all lu equipments, buch a mortgage npon
w bat, for a long tlme.wlil bathe only railroad con
mi ting the Atlantic and Pacllio States, takes the
highest rank as a safe security, Tbe earnings from
the w ay or local business lor the year ending June 30,
1668, on an average of 472 miles, were over FOUR
MILLION LOLLARH. which, after paying all ex
penses, were much more than sulliclent to cover all
Interest liability npon that distance, and tbe earn"
lus lor tbe last five months have been (2 386.870.
They would have been greater It the road bad nof
been taxed to lis utmost capacity to transport Its own
material for construction. The Income from the
great passenger travel, the China frelchta, aud the
supplies for the sew Rocky Mountain Slates and Terr
rltorlcs, must be a'.spIefor all Interest and other lia
bilities. No political action can reduce the rate of
Interest. It most remain for thirty years six per
ant. per annum in old , now equal to between eight
and nine per cent. In currency. The principal ii then
pttyable in gold. If a boud with such guarantees were
iHsued by the Government, its market price would
not be less than from 10 to 25 per cent, premium. As
thene bonds are Issued under Government authority
and supervision, npon what Is very largely a Gov
ernment work, they must ultimately approach .Gov
ernment prices. No other corporate bonds are made
