WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
FROM THE CORNER STONE IN 1848 TO
THE CAPSTONE IN 1884.

View from the Summit—Programme at
Celebration.
[From the New York Herald.]
The work of removing the staging,
derricks and nets from the top of the

memorial shaft can now be seen
in its simplicity of lofty grandeur. The
comer stone was laid by President Polk,

far only the monument proper has
been finished. Tho base and surround¬
ings are yet to be completed, while as
yet not even the plans for this last work
have been agreed upon. This monu¬
ment, whose square at the base is only
fifty-three feet, gradually tapering to
forty feet at the beginning of the pyra¬
midal roof, notwithstanding its great
height, does not appear as imposing to
those who live in Washington as to
those who visit the city and see it for
the first time. Perhaps familiarity with
its steady rise has diminished interest
in the fact that it is the highest struc¬
ture in the world. For nearly a quarter
of a century it remained at 196 feet. The
weather beaten marble discloses where
the masons stopped work at the close of
the season in 1854. It was in that year
that the memorial stone, presented to
the Washington Monument Society "by
Pope Pius IX. was broken into frag¬
ments and the pieces sunk in the middle
of the Potomac. From that time until
Congress assumed the responsibility of
finishing Monument the shaft the Washington
if public Society found but very little
ing any the design encouragement for finish¬

a that while Engineer
Casey and his assistants in charge of the
work were setting the capstone on Satur¬
day, December 6. 1884, at *two o’clock,
p. m., the third Plenary Council of the
Catholic Church in the United States
wero hundred finishing their labors in which a
abbots had archbishops, bishops and mitred
taken part.
The cost of the shaft is, in round
numbers, $1,100,000, of which $200,000
was raised by the society and $900,000
appropriated remembered by the government. It is
children when by many who were school
the corner stone was laid
that an appeal was made throughout
the country to the pupils of the public
schools, each to contribute one cent to
help build a monument to the memory
of the great Washington. Whether the
penny so contributed by the writer is to¬
day a part of the grand contribution out
of whioh the first 150 feet was erected
it is impossible to say.
It is a towering pile, visible for many
miles down the Potomac, overtopping
the Capitol and the first object beheld
by travelers approaching Washington
by rail. Unfortunately a site was
selected not many feet above the water
line of the Botomac, so that the extra¬
ordinary height is not so readily ob¬
served as if the pile were on some emi¬
nence, such as Capitol Hill or Meridian
HilL When Pennsylvania avenue was
flooded a few years ago by the waters of
ihe Potomac being backed by an ice
blockade the base of the monument was
surrounded by water. The flat ground
in this reservation is unencumbered by
buildings. the A little distance to the south
is Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
which by the measure of the eye looks
like a squatty building compared with
the height of the monument. Its tower,
110 feet high, is as a pipestem alongside
of this massive marble obelisk. The
Smithsonian Institution, on the same
reservation, has its giant towers dwarfed
into Lilliputs as contrasted with the
grand height of the Washington Monu¬
ment
If the readers of the Herald caro to
make their own contrast let them stand
in front of Trinity Church, on Broadway,
and imagine, if they can, the height of
the steeple just double what it is. Its
height is put down at two hundred and
eighty-four five hundred feet Twice that would be
and sixty-four feet, or about
thirteen feet higher than the aluminum
apex of the Washington Monument
By contrast with the surrounding build¬
ings, many of which in the neighbor¬
hood of Trinity are higher than the pub¬
lic buildings in Washington, some idea
may be had of where snch a towering
monument oarries tho eye. From the
south front of the State Department or
from the windows of the President’s
house it doe3 not strike the observer as
being such a wonderful object; but at
its base, looking up at its sides, or on
Pennsylvania avenue, looking down the
sloping roadway west of the Treasury
Department, just where the sight undi¬
verted can take in the ground and fol¬
low tho sharp lines to the top, then its
proportions and elevation are truly re¬
vealed. Tho «*t>me of the Capitol is but
307 feet in bright, and the western view
of the obelisk from there impresses one
that its summit is Always in the clouds.
The marble quarried for this great
work came from Maryland, It has a
clean, bright look, and is not likely to
become soiled, as tho front of the Cap¬
itol perpetually is, with dust and dirt.
If it were a few shades darker it would
add considerably to the effect, for most
of the time the marble tint and cloudy
background are of the same hue. The
well through which the elevator has car¬
ried every block to its "final resting place
will eventually be walled with an iron
stairway, and another elevator provided
for passengers who are not afraid to risk
(heir lives in the ten minutes it requires
to reach the upper landing. Just above
the line of the pyramidal roof, at an ele¬
vation of 520 feet, there are small win¬
dows, out of which the city of Wash¬
ington looks like a toy town. Long
Bridge becomes as a thread and the me¬
andering water of the Potomac a ribbon
of silver. The hills of Virginia and
Maryland are outlined like so many
housetops, and appear as an immense
amphitheatre of woods. The people
beneath walking Pennsylvania avenue
look like black dots. Carriages and
horses are but children’s playthings.
The engineering skill required to
strengthen the foundation to bear the
enormous the weight which is piled upon it
is one of wonders of this marvelous
piece of masonry, though now invisible.
It is 23 J feet deep and 80 feet square at
tlie bottom, and carried np in steps o*
about 8 feet rise and 1$ feet tread, the
top being 58 feet square. Fifty thou¬
sand tons of marble, it is calculated,
rest upon this fonndation without caus¬
ing variation in its level
PBOOEAMME OP THE CELEBRATION.
The joint commission appointed by
Congress the celebration to report a programme for
of the completion is still
considering February, the subject. The 22d of
next year, falls on Sunday,
so the preceding day has been agreed
upon for the ceremonial, General
Sheridan has consented to act as chief
marshal, and Mr. Robert 0. Winthrop,
who delivered the address at the laying
of the corner stone in 1848, is announced
to deliver the oration in the hall of the
House on its completion. As yet these
are all the features settled upon. Con¬
gress has appropriated 87,500 to be ex¬
pended in printing cards of invitation,
programmes, etc., and another sum has
been given to carry out the details of
the plan. Preceding, as it will, the in¬
auguration of President Cleveland but
eleven days, it is expected that thou¬
sands of strangers will be attracted to
the Washington ceremonial and remain
until after the other great event.
THOSE UNWHOLESOME SWEETS.
Adulterations of Candy-Chalk and Starch
Largely Liiipluyed.
“Do you. believe that much of the
candy sold in this city is deleterious ?”
asked a reporter of a San Francisco
candy-maker.
“i 4°. There is no disguising the
fact that chalk and' starch enter largely
into the composition cf candy. I want
you to distinctly understand that I refer
more especially to the small traders,
who cannot possibly afford to make a
wholesome bonbon at the prices at
which they sell. The most deleterious
mixtures are those intended for chew¬
ing. They are made of wax and tallow,
in which starch is largely introduced.
The quality, required in this class of
candy is their capability to last. Com¬
mon sense will tell you that they cannot
possibly how be made of good material. See
many of those chewing-sticks can
be bought for five cents, and you can
judge for yourself of their value. Then
those peppermint drops are especially
deleterious, as also are all heavily-col¬
ored candies. The best candy coloring
comes frbm the town of Stuttgart, in
Germany, and mostly all tlie principal
manufacturing establishments in the
world purchase their color there. Scien¬
tific men are employed to mix the col¬
ors, and so they are perfectly inocnous.
Now, take for example one of these
petty paint, stores. in which They have a great beam pot of
wood, drag they poke paint a of
out a lump of and mix
into the mess upon which they are work¬
ing. This is the style of manufacture
which very generally obtains among a
certain class of dealers. Then I must
class among dangerous candies those
styled ‘cough candies.’ A big reluse
box is kept in these establishments,
into which is thrown broken candy and
all manner of rubbish. I myself have
seen the sweepings of the floor thrown
into the box. From this conglomeration
of nastiness is manufactured that candy
which is fondly believed to cure a
cough and soothe an irritated throat.”
“What is thd percentage sold in this
city of good candy ?”
“I do not think over 50 per cent, is
actually fit to be eaten. Bat then the
manufacturer is not wholly to blame.
The consumer is always desirous of cut¬
ting down prices, though there is grad¬
ually being introduced into this city a
superior class of candy. It would pay
you were yon to stroll through some of
these new establishments and see the
amount of work expended upon some of
the fancy boxes and baskets. To give you
an idea of the value of a confectioner’s
services I will tell you that a prominent 1
New York firm paid lately a Frenchman
$500 for four days’ work, during which
time he taught how to combine jellies
and fruit juice with candies.”
“Have you any dull season in your
business ?”
“We have. The dull season may be
said to last, from June to September.
That is when the schools are closed and
the children have gone into the country.
We look upon these few months as very
bad indeed for business. Now, however,
the holidays are approaching and the
candv man’s hopes are at their highest.”
The Terrible Plague.
The plague in the Cumberland Moun¬
tains began when the wells and springs
went dry, and was doubtless the result
of using water that w, s impure. Tho
few physicians there say that the water
contained mineral poison of some kind,
becanse produced only a mineral poison would
have the gripings, the burning
fever and thirst, and the bloody evacua¬
tions that marked tlie disease. They
say that ores of copper and arsenites
abound iu tho mountains. The scarcity
of educated medical help and the pecu¬
liar habits of tho people undoubtedly
made the disease more fatal. When once
a member of a family was stricken the
rest v;ere pretty sure to follow, and this
was due in many cases to a lack of prop¬
er care for the sick and to a failure to
properly dispose of the excreta. The
people usually tried to doctor themselves
and this increased the fatality. Besides
a great variety of patent nostrums, the
favorite remedies were liberal doses of
hot mutton tallow, bog’s grease mixed
with of tobacco burnt and (mulled) brandy, decoctions
of biaokberry roots, and
all sorts of herb teas, and at all stages of
the disease whisky'. There are not
over fifteen physicians in the eight coun¬
ties, but if there bad been a hundred
the people in many In sections would not
have hired them. 1851 a similar but
less virulent plague raged through these
mountains. There were more physi¬
cians then, but they knew leas of medi¬
cine than the people they trijd to care
for. Quinine and calomel were the
favorite, remedies, and the consequent
deaths created a not unnatural prejudice
in the minds of the people. Many of the
people are absolutely destitute.

SINGULAR MERIES OF ACCIDENTS
THAT MADE AN INTENDED BRIDE
HAPPY.
How the Misfortunes of a Man Turned to
a Benefit in the End.
A letter from Middletown, Orange
county, N. Y., says: A man living not
far from this place wrote to a friend
here about four weeks ago, to buy thirty
shares of the stock of the Middletown
National Bank, which has since failed.
The money to be thus invested was
a bust in his hands for a niece, who was
soon to be married. The money had
previously been invested upon bond and
mortgage, been paid. which had Middletown matured and had
The friend did
not know of thirty shares for sale in
a thirds lump, but he knew where about two
of the required amount could be
picked up, and he had no doubt that the
entire number of shares could be pro¬
cured at an early date. The amount of
the trust fund was $3,760—enough to
buy thirty shares at $125, at which the
stock was quoted before the failure.
A certified check was procured from
the bank where the money had been
deposited for the full amount, and duly
indorsed in a letter directed to the Mid¬
dletown man who was to negotiate the
purchase. On the way to the Post
Office, which was two miles distant
from his house, the writer of the letter
lost it out of his pocket, having palled
it out with his handkerchief. It fell
into the bottom of the buggy. When
he arrived at the Post-Office it was
closed for the night, aDd, putting his
gloved hand into his pocket, he drew
out what he supposed was the envelope
containing the check and deposited it in
the outer box. The envelope so de¬
posited was in reality an undirected one
that had been handed to him in the
street in New York only a few days
previous, and contained an advertising
circular. He drove home, put the
that buggy he away, and went to bed, feeling
had done his work well.
He waited a full week, and hearing
nothing in relation to the transaction; $
he wrote a second letter, inquiring of
his friend os to his success iu getting all
of the stock, and asking, as a matter of
form, if he had received the certified
check. He was soon informed that no
such check had come to hand. He
went to the Post-office, but there noth¬
ing was known of it.
“Are you sure you mailed it ?” asked
the Postmaster.
He remembered it distinctly^ and gave
the night and the time. This called to
the Postmaster’s mind that the morn¬
ing after the supposed mailing of the
letter the drop box on the door con¬
tained only "an undirected circular,
which he easily found in the offioe. The
gentleman gueBsed out the matter and
drove rapidly home. In the boot of the
buggy he found the missing letter safe
ana sound. He put the letter safely in
an inner pocket, and went about doing
his regular chores, intending to write a
second Becoming letter and mail it that evening.’
heated by vigorous work, he
took off his coat and hung it up in the
wagon house. Soon afterward so&e
friends drove up to spend the remainder
of the day with him, and he went to the
house with them, leaving his coat with
the letter in it in the wagon house. He
did not go to the village that night
as he intended, and the coat and its
contents were for a time forgotten. The
next morning he wrote his second letter,
after whioh he sought the coat contain¬
ing the first letter and the certified
check, which, to bis surprise, had dis¬
appeared. A careful search for it proved
fruitless. None of the family or hired
help could throw any light upon it, and
he was compelled to come to the con¬
clusion that some tramp had stolen it.
As it had not since been heard of, that
was Steps probably its fate.
to stop payment on the check
were successful, and in the course of
a tew weeks a duplicate was issued by
the bank. With this in his possession
the gentleman started early one morn¬
ing. a day or two afterward, to drive to
Middletown and deliver the check in
person. When on the way he was taken
suddenly home, sick, and was obliged to return,
and for over a week he was con¬
fined to his room. On the day after
dletown Thanksgiving he again started for Mid¬
with the check in his pocket,
prisejnay intending to secure the stock. His there sur
