Considerable cbinmcnt having 'been made Spon the eelecMon of oolitic liaeitone from Indiana to be used in tho construction of the rieir State Cipltol, and it having ' been urged that tho stone is not up to the standard prescribed by law, (which it Is claimed provides for marble or granite alone), we give * below an extract from the report ol the State Geologist, for the year 1882, regarding this stone But by far the most beautiful and valuable stone for architectural purposes is the oolllio limestone- , Tho supply is simply Inexhaustible, as it lies in massive strata of from twenty to seventy feet thick. These strata are homogeneous, equally strong in vertical, diagonal : or borixontal scetions. The stone comes from tho quarry so soft as to bo readily worked by saw, chisel or planing machine, wli|le on ex posure it hardens to a strength of flrom 10,000 to 12,000 pounds to the square inch—a strength amply sufficient to pusteln the weight of the largest structure in the world. In use It preseuts u handsome, creamy brown appearance, gradual, ly whitening with age. It is of almost unprecedented purity, con taining an average of 26.8 per cent. Of oerbonate ot lime, a purity rare- jy, if ever, surpassed, and scarcely equaled in the world. Hence, its advantage over the magnesian lime. »tnne, as it Is not affected by decay- in an atmospbore oharged with tho gases of burning stone coal. In natural outcrop it presents bold perpendicular faces to the elements, showing every scratch and mark, unaffected after the exposure ol thousands of years, as no other stone or rook docs. It Is quarried by strain channel- era, which carve it out in prisma .tlx by ten, fifty or ouo hundred feet tong, putting to shauio tho basted prodigies of Kgyptian story- end effort, it is then rapidly- saw ed into blocks and dimension forms, and steam planers carve, mold and smoothc it liko clay or wood, and more accurately than mallet and eblitl. It is now Hi to be carved and polished into the freest kind of sculptured and orna mental work. Ready for tho mason or sculptor, It it alive and resonant, answering with a clear metalio ring each touch or blow. Tills resonance is an exoellent test of the perlcet unity of its particles, and as a result it is highly elastic, bending under pres tare and rebounding to place when relieved Irons it. This elasticity enables Indiana oolitic limestone to adapt itself without cleavage or disintegration to our changeable climate, where material will bo fre quently subject to a ebaogo of fiom 20° to 60° ol temperature in a lew hours; as In large buildings, the outside will be subject to a temper- ature of 26° below zero in winter, or 120° above it in winter, while the inside will remain at 60° or 10° —differences of 60° to 80° in the extremities of the same stone with their accompanying effects in expansion or contraction. Tue strains or heat and frost will tear down buildings and sides of moun tains, with tbeir great expansive forces, and even steel and iron will give way before them. Here, then, li presented to the builder end ar cbltecta new and wondrous ele ment In an “elasUo atone,"a potent quality which, united with iu other •terllng excellencies of strength veautt/sanb exposed work In buildings in local- ities subject to gre.t climatic cuanges. It has been and is now being used in many of the finest public structures in the country— the i ew $2,(JU0 000 conrt house at Indianapolis, the ne w*,Indiana State house, the post office and many c.iurcbes in that city; the custom bouse at Louisville; the oily hall and tho water tables ol Lincoln Park in Chicago, many fine struct ures in St. Louis, tho Cotton Ex change in Now Orleans, and many public buildings in New York ar,d Philadelphia, and the exposed part of the new State House of Illinois. Prom this it will be seen that the stone combines all the best quali ties of marble, while by reason of its being easier worked it is much cheaper. We have never examined this particular stone, but we have seen some in Kansas that answers well to the description. It was there called marble, and when placed in a building had all the appcaranco of marble. When first taken from the quarry it could be readily sawed, planed or turned into any shape, but after exposure to tho air fora short lima it became as hard and firm as marble. We have now in our house u match- IVEIjl'OTETIIE FOLLOWING PRICES . at priori we One Hundred Men’s Cassimere Saits. Regular price 810.00, for $5.00. 250 Pairs of Pants.

At Fort Wayne a day or two ago both'the Democrats nnd Republicans held political meetings. The streets were filled with processions. Young women, wearing uniforms, marched with torches over tbeir shoulders with the men. The general uni form of the women is a white duck dress trimmed and slashed with scarlet, with bands of red across the bruust. The cap is a jaunty red silk. These young women march and sing while their broth ers shout. Every third mau had a fish horn, which he industriously klcw to see if lie could nut drown the noise of a rival. The maddest socnes in Ohio paled before tho confusion at Fort Wayne. The sceno witnessed at Fort Wayne is seen in all parts of tiie State. The girls who take part in the processions are the beauties of the towns and counties. is larg defy or r than erei n petition.)
