TAE STUDY OF THE tr. S.
cAriroL AT WASHING-
T 0.21:
The American Aloe developes Raisers
feet flower only after the slow, growth
of century .. ln its laboratory are nti
lized the dews and sunshine of a hun
dred tropic summers—the calm and rest
of a hundred southern winters—before
the splended bleesom rewards the des
cedes of silent toil. So the magnificent
building for the use of our national .
legislators, at Washingson, is tie growth'
of a century, Tether than a structure
designed by one architect and Complet
ed by one set of - workmen.
The first Capitol building,- with the
exception of the dome, was designedis,y
Dr. Thornton and the plan approved'hy
Washington. The south-east corner
atone was laid by our first' President in
1793, aecerupanied by the splendid
and impressive ceremonies of the
masonic ritual. Tho apron worn
by Washington as Grand Master. upon .
that occasion, was embroidered , and
presentei to him by tfie wile of Gen.
LsFayette. It is now in the Masonic
lodge-room at Alexandria, Va.
The old building forms, the center of
the new structure , and only the wings
were completed for occupancy by Ben
jamin Latrobe, architect' and engineer,
in 1811. The interior of the Capitol
was burned by the British in 1814, but
the walls were left standing. The next
year the task of re-building the wings
and completing the entire edifice was
undertaken by Mr. Latrobe.• In 1817
the work was placed under the superin
tendency of Mr. Chas. Bulftnch, who
discarded the plans of his predecessor
and finished the building according to
the designs of Dr. Thorn tan. • The
foundations of the central portion of
the building were laid in 1818 and the' '
whole structure completed in 1827.
As the Republic increased in size and
population, the two Houses of Congress '
grlw in proportion, and it was found
necessary to enlarge the building devot
ed to their use. In Jane, 1851, Presi
dent Fillmore approved a plan submit
ted by Mr. Thomas Walters, architect.
On the 4th of July, the same year, the
corner stone of the extension was `laid
by the President, assisted by the Ma
sons of Maryland. Daniel Webster was
the orator of the occasion. Edward
Clark, the present accomplished archi
tect of the Capitol, superintended. the
work, which was completed in 1867. t
The dome of the original central
building was constructed of wood; but
was removed in 1856 to be replaced by
the present stupendous structure of cast
Trod ; whichavas modeled after the mag
nificent dome of St. Peter's church, at
Rome. 'The dome is crowned by a
superb bronze statue of Freedom, mo
deled by Crawforlothat is 19 feet six
inches in height - and weighs 14;985
pounds.
The central building was constructed
of sandstone, painted white, from an
island in. Aquia Creek, Virginia., The
material used for the extensions is - white
marble slightly veined with blue, from
the quarries ,at Lee, Massachusetts,
with white marble columns from
Cockeysville, Maryland.
The main building is 352 feet long . in
front,, with a depth of 121 feet. - The
extensions are placed at the north and
south ends of the central buildiog, with
connecting condors 54 feet long by 56
foot wide. with enuring Hankie's oe,a4ti .
ders. Each wing is 142 feet in front by
233 feet in depth. 'The entire length
of the building is 751 feet.
The principal story of the Capitol
rests upon a massive rustic basement,
which supports an ordonnance of piles
tore, rising to the height of the two
stories abeve. trpod these pilasters
rests the .entablature and beautiful
frieze, an] the whole is surmounted by
- a marble balustrade, The centre build
ing has a portico 160 feet wide on the
east front, with , 24 columns , of soft
sandstone, painted white; and so ar
ranged with a projecting gable in the
center as to form a double facade. •
On the west there is a projection of
83 feet,-including a recessed portico of
ten coupled columns. The east front
of the two wings has each a portico of 22
monolithic fluted columns, of white mar
ble, with a projection of ten feet in .the
center. -Theleis an octostvle arrange
ment of the pfilarseapporting_the gables
of all three front porticoes. That in
- front - of the central building has three
rows of pillars and the projections in
front of the wings . have two rows of
pillars. There is also a portico of ten
_columns on the west end of each wing,
end similar ones on the north side of
north yviug and the south side of the
euuth wing.
. The main entrances are by the three
eastern porticoes, being made/easy of
access by broad flights of stone steps,
with massive cheek-hlocks and vaulted
carritie-ways beneath to the basement
entrances. The - cheek-blocks to the
central portico are ornamented by two
fine groups of statuary. The group on'
the right represents the discovery of
America, and is by • Persico, an Italian
artist. Celambris is represented as hold ,
ing aloft's' globe in his sight band, sym
bolic of his discovery of the New
World. He is clad in a snit of medieval
armor. which is said to be a faithful
copy of that worn by him. An Indian
maiden crouches beneath his uplifted
ar4 - her face expressive of the surprise
an& terror manifested by the aboriginal
race at the sppeamnce of the the whites.
The group on the left is called
"Civilization" and is by Greenough:.
"A tenor-stricken mother, clasPingler,
babe to her breast, crouches at the feet
of a stalwart Indian warrior, whose
. arms, raised in the act of striking her
• with his tomahawk, are seized and
pinioned by the husband and father,
who re ‘urns at the fortunate Moment,
accompanied . by his faithful dog, which
- stands ready to spring to the aid of
his master."
The pediments of two of the porticoes
contain magnificent groups of• sculpture.
The central pediment
_contains a group
is alto-relievo, which — was (leaned by
John Quincy Adams and executed by
SignOr Persico. "The Genius of
America, crowned with a star, 'holds in
her right hand a shield bearing the let
ters U. S. A., surroundeded with a
glory. The shield rests on an altar in
scribed with, the date date, "duly 4,
1776." A spear is- behind her within
reach and the eagle crouches at her feet.
She is gazing at Hope, who atands upon
her left, and is directing her attention
to Justice on her right, who holds in
her right band a scrod inscribed, "Con- .
stitution of, the United States," and in
her left the 801149.. , •
It isirom this portico that the Presi
des:A.l:d the United States delivers his
inangoial Waren upon hie aoceesioa to
power. Two martyr-Presidents time
stood beneath this splendid colonnade
and addressed an admiring crowd of
their fellow-eltize who had called
them to the _soienem° duties and grave
responsibilities of the Chief-Magistraoy
of this grand confederation of States.;
How . lately the - .'Cienins Of aiiiierica'tfi
looked down unmoied upon the throng
of mourners who passed across this pil
lared portico to gaise, through tears,
upon the face of the beloved Tdead; as
calm in its final resfas the marble fea
tures of this sculptured emblem of our
country's greatness.
In the . northern pediment is Craw
ford's famous group, representing the
progress of Civilisation in the United
States. The southern pediment is to
be ornamented bra group, represent
ing the discovery of America by Col
umbus. The sculptor is _William Bart
bee.
Standing in front of the Capitol, and
at a ditence sufficient to take in the
whole view, the effect is indescribably
grand. " The massive dome, with its
series of galleries supported by slender
pillars and piasters, has an appearance
of lightnesi and grace that make it seem
like the shining crown of one of the
enchanted -palaces of eastern romar.ce.
The facades of the centrel building and
the two wings—have each the classic
simplicity of a Grecian temple. The
pure white columns, with [their ornate
Corinthian capitals, are_ not unworthy
copies of thins famous structures on
the Acropolis at Athens = that have
served as perfect models Of architectural
beauty for more than a score of cen
turies. M. L. B.
SHAVING THE loscz.—Thirty years
ago, a few perions of foreign birth ap
pearedln New York 'with hair on the
upper lip, and were objects of curiosity
and sometimes of public ridicule. In
1850 some of the young swells of the
metropolis began to wear moustaches,
but for some time nd clerk would ven
ture to imitate ttieui In one case Eir
merchant on Tine street' who had just
engaged a clerk for twelve months, or
during good behavior, discharged! Win
for seeming a full beurd, claiming that
the adaption of the fashion laid the
clerk open to dismisial under the good
behavior clause of th 6 contract. About
the same time a number of •leading
merchants gave notice that they • would
emplotnobody who wore hair on their
upper lip. As late , as 1851 the senior
prbprietor of the Journal -of Commerce
made his cashier shave on an incipient
moustache, and soon after brought his
own son under the razor. In the
church of Dr. Bethune on Brooklyn
Heights an elder who was suffering
from a lame wrist allowed liis beard to I
grow rather than submit to a barber.
The habit, beginning in necessity, con-'
tinned on account of the increase of cock
fort which it afforded, and the elder
flaunted his beard before his congrega
tion constantly.' The result was. laugh-
able. Many of the brethren called up-,
on the pastor to insist upon doing away
with such a scandal as a full beard elder.
He led them to his library and Show! . 2ll
them how some of the early father 4
had pleaded against cutting off. Lis
beard. "He turned to la ictantins,
TheOdoret, St. Augustine and St. Cy
prian, who had stoutly contended for
the growth of the whole beard. Ite
quoted frnm Clement, of Alexandria,
the assertion that "Nature adorned
`myna like, o Lioss4 With 4a. boosa, as tho
mark of strength and power." When
one of the vistora asked him how would
he like it if the clergy assumed the
moustache. Dr. Bethune referred him
to a decision of the fourth Council'
Carthage (A. D. 252. can. 44): where it
is postively. enacted that a cleric shall
not shave his beard, and .to the state
ment male by Luther in discussing this
subject. that "all the Protestant mar
tyrs were buried in their fall beards."
This did not Settle the matter, for sub
stantially the.ladies put in their pro
test.' Bat a fel. months a ventur
some lawyer let his beard grow after
the manner of the elder and in a little
while smooth shaven faces were no lon
ger the rule but the exception.
Shropshire Sheep
In its report of the 'sheep classes at,
the late Royal Agricultural Shaw, the.
Agricultural Gazette (London) says of
the. Shropshires. l"'These sheep were
undoubtedly the feature of the sheep
show.. Irt numbers they dwarfed every
other breed into insignificance. Thus,
while there were 39 entries for Leices
ter% 31 for Cotswolds, 39 for Lincoln%
and 29 for Oxfords, there were 152 en
tries for Sbropshires. The Shropshire,
•no .doubt, appeared on his own ground,
as he has shown himself to be the sheep
of the midland counties. Bat how is it
that the Leicester was not equally well
represented ? Is it not that the Leices
ter is a thing of the past. whilst the
Shropshire is a
. slieep of tha present
and the - future ? Looking at the num
ber of exhibitors, the case is still mo-e
strikingly illustrated; for while the
Leicesters represented seven flocks,
the Shropshires were drawn from as
many as thirty-seven - flocks.l Nothing
could more conclusively show the rapid
strides which this comparatively recent
breed has made. Its advance has.been
tae to its intrinsic meritsas a profitable
sheep to the tenant-farmer. Taking the
classes as thfy° stand, we have first th:,
shearling rams, a noble class, compOs
ing eighty-six muividnals. Hard, in
deed, must have been the task of the
judges to pick out the best from such
a number. That they eventually sue.
ceeded in so doing isio*n to doubt.
The Shropshire judges have always in
sisted upon a close-fitting helmet of
wool, dark featur es , . and freedom from
greys in the fleece, espeCially at the
poll and rump. The heads, in some
cases. were too bare, but - the type of
sheep shown was creditable, and
iudi
aatfd progress.
Piles are frequently . preceded by a sense of
weight in the back Joins and lower part of
the abdomen, aiming the patient to Suppose
be has some affection of, the kidneys or
neighboring organs'. At times symptoms of
indigestion are.present a. flatulency. uneasi
ness of the stolnacti. etc. IL moisture like
perspiration producing a very disagreeable
itching, par ticularly at tiigtt after getting
warm in bed. is a very common attendant.
Internal; External and Itching Piles yield at
once on the application of Dr. Lkisanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly . upon the parts
slim absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
Intense Itching, and affecting a permanent
cure where all other remedies have failed.
Do not delay until the drain on the system
produces permanent disability, but try it
and be cured. Price, 50 cents. Ask your
druggist for it; and when you cannot obtain
it of him, we will send it, prepaid, on recipt
of price. Address The Dr. Bosanko Medicine
