Austin, Tex., Februrry 10.—The new
State House is one of the finest red granite
buildings in the world. It is now about
completed, the foundation having been
laid in 1884. The builders were a syn
dicate composed of the Messrs. Farrell, of
Chicago, and others. The compensation
on the part of the State of Texas was
3,000,000 acres of land situated on the
“Panhandle,” and including nine counties,
sufficient of themselves to form a new State
he size of Connecticut. It is estimated
the syndicate has expended in the con
struction of the building, from first to
last, about $4,000,000. Dining the last
year some 300 men have been constantly
employed on the building. At one time
there were 2,000 persons engaged in va
rious parts of the world manufacturing ma
terial or prepsring it for different portions
of the edifice.
The new State house is situated on an
eminence 'near the centre of the city of
Austin. It commands a magnificent view
nf the vrrnory rm n«d down the Colorado
river for fifteen miles. Patches of prairie
ap|>ear to the southwest, low mountains
and cedar crowned hills rise in the blue
distance in the west. In the foreground
the tortuous Colorado runs like n thread of
silver. ^ At the feet of the observer lies the
city, with its nalatial residences and nu
merous public buildtngs.
The native red'granite, of which the
Texas cnpitol is constructed, was procured
the dome, from which is had the most
magnificent and enchanting of landscape
views. There are but two eapitol buildings
in the United States that can compare
with this immense pile of Texas granite—
the capitols at Washington and Albany.
The new eapitol is to be dedicated May
14 to 19, ana Govtrnor Kos» has already
ent out invitations to lending and distin
guished people all over the United States
to be present.

Washington, February 20.—David
Dudley Field made a little argument be-
frora the granite mountain in Burnet coun
ty, seventy-five miles distant, and trans
mitted by rail, and pronounced by cxiierts
equal to the famous red granite’of Scot
land.
The style of the new State bouse approx
imates tiie Doric. Its form approaches the
Greek cross, with a rotunda and dome at
the intersection of the corridors. Its front
north is 662 feet long from east to west,
287 feet deep from north to south, and
covers two and one-fourth acres of ground.
The exterior is constructed of rough
granite block, cut lengthwise, hut all the
margins are beautifully dressed, including
the window-sills and their bases. There is
considerable rock face work distributed
throughout the second and third stories,
and a stately feature in these is the finelv-
dresaed pilasters, which, to the number of
176, extend the whole length of these
stories.
The height of the basement is 11 feet 6
inches, first story 22 feel, second 21 feet,
third 20 feet and fourth 18 feet.
The height of the first colonnade around
the hose of the dome above the roof is 120
feet; second colonnade above, 162 feet; t<>
the colonnade around the lantern, 217 feet;
to the base of the bronze statue of Liberty,
surmounting the lantern, 286 teet—the
height of the statue itself being 12 feet.
The large glass alar on the top of the
statue is 311 feet above the base line ot
the building, and 376 feet above the level
of Congress avenue lending up to the Cap
itol.
The basement comprises sixty-tlirec
rooms, in which the records of the Slate
and other things will be stored, and uiav
serve as dungeons or a bastile when the
United States—or Texas—five hundred
years from now shall be a despotic mon
archy, perhaps. The executive offices,
Governor’s room, etc., are on the first floor ;
the second is set apart for the legislative
and the third for the Judiciary depart
ments of the State government.
The dimensions and ap|>earance of the
two great halls of the interior—the Senate
chandler and tile hail of Representatives—
are in keeping with the grandeur of the ex-
. tenor of the edifice. The latter is 94x96
feet and the former 9-1x70. Both these
great halls are open through to the ceiling
of tiie second floor above, completely enj
circled with galleries. The ceilings are o
cut, stained plate glass, above which are
immense skylight of tiie roof above. Two
-tiers of windows also furnish natural light
from the North .and South. The
magnificence of the Senate and
Representative chambers is not
less impressive than that of the great ro
tunda, sixty-five feet in diameter, and en
circled by a balcony five feet deep, con
nected with the second, third aud f<
floors. The center of the rotunda on the
first floor is of heavy plate glass, to ad
mit light to the spaces liclow. The State
library is 68x124 feet, and like the Legis
lative chandlers, well lighted.
All the broad and stable corridors
throughout the building are laid in en
caustic tiling of various patterns and at
tractive designs. Kach of the offices on
the first floor has a large fire-proof vault
for records, and the State treasurer’s office
also has a tremendous chrome steel money
vault. The two grand stairways are
situated on both sides of the rotunda, near
ilseast and West entrances to the long cor
ridors that run the full length of the first
floor, and these grand stairways ascend
to the second floor near the entrances to
the vestibules leading into the Senate
chamheis in the east flank and the House
of Bepresentative* in the west flank of die
building, while the entire north projec
tion of the library and a large portion of
the south projection are taken up by tiie
Governor's public reception rooms.
A distinctive feature of the entrance fac-
ingthe south is the triumphnl arch that
spans this entrance at a height of seventy-
two feet, underneath which, in the vesti
bule of the first floor supporting the gran
ite balcony, stands two magnificent col
nmns. In striking contrast with this or
nate entrance on the op|io«ite or north side
of the building is the massive portico
which dignifies that side of the eapitol.
The exterior of the eapitol possesses a
grandeur belonging to no building of the
same kind outside of Washington or Al
bany, N. Y. It has the advantage even
of those capitols in the romantic scenery
by which it is surrounded and the maguiti-
cent situation. There is no eapitol dome
in the United States that commands a
Livelier view in all directions than that of
the new granite eapitol of the State of
Texas.
There are in the entire eapitol of the
State of Texaa 260 rooms, halts and other
apartments.

Bleckley, C. J.—1. Tiie action was
founded on a contract to carry from Ope
lika to Coinmbns, and the declaration
made no' allusion to any bill of lading, or
to any receipt of the goods from a connect
ing line of railway. According to its alle
gations, the hams were damaged after they
were delivered to defendant below at Ope
lika, and not before, while the evidence
shows that the damage was done before
such delivery. The court, therefore, erred
in giving iu charge to the jury Sec. 208-t of
the code, as the same has no application to
the cause of action set out in the declara
tion. C. K. R. vs. Tucker, last term, Ga.

GENERAL WILLIAM S. HARNEY
Celebrates the Seventieth Anniversary of
Ills Appolntmeut as an Officer.
From the Courier-Journal.
Pass ChbistiaX, Miss., February 15.—
On the wide gall -rv of his handsome resi
dence ill this cheery suburb of. New Or
leans, in the warm sunshine, in his padded
chair, the thermometer at 77, and the
roses bloo
magnolia on the lawn, sat nil Monday
morning. General William S. Harney.
Many of his neighbors called upon him,
bringing congratulations. Children end
ladies came witli bouquets, pad .nan* of
the winter dwellers called in to shake
hands with the old man, for lie celebrated
the seventieth anniversary of his appoint
ment as officer of the United States army,
The old soldier was pleased witli the at
tention paid to him, and called his wife to
exhibit to the visitors the rusty bundle of
parchments which he had received
trom time to time as he advanced
in rank. The first was his coniniiasion ns
lieutenant of infantry, signed by President
Monroe, February 13,1818;lhai ns c-vptain,
ing Mr. Lincoln and Sen.tor .Sumner for
permitting the name ‘Wtst Virginia’ to j ial midget instantly turned his hack on
he given to the splendid region cut off “I. at ,?^)‘ e
from the old State, when it might have
borne the sonorous Indian title of Aileghn-
nia or Kanawha. ‘This is mere sentiment,’
you say? Three of otirj tour wars have
been fought tor mere scijtiment, and civil
ization is based on sentiment.”
Mr. Field spoke of tho hardship suffered
by the nntion’s empire Mate in having to
go from generation to generation under
the second-hand name “New York,” and
said that American States ought to bear
Indian names, or names locally historic.
“When I was iu New South’Wales,” he
said, “I laughed at the absurd name, nnd
called tiie |>eople •Newsoitliwalers.’ They
snid they were used to thf name nnd would
never surrender it, hut n<iw I see the gov
ernment is agitating a cliinge and looking
for a euphonious local designation. So 1
suggested tlint New Guinea should return
to its labial name ’Papua,’ and just now
the commissioner has reported in favor
of it.”
Mr. Field protested against North and
South Dakota, and said it wouldJbe worth
while to keep them out of the Union till
thev could adopt some exclusive names,
as Yankton or Pembina or both. “New
Mexico is not a name at all,” iie remon
strated, “but only the designation of an
unnamed fragment. It might be called
‘Mnnznna,’ or better yet ‘Montezuma,' after
that unhappy prince', who was plundered
and calumniated by the yellow god from
the East—robbed of his religion and his
empire, of his family nnd his fame. ‘Mon
tezuma’would be a majestic name, and if
the old emperor could revisit the glimpses
of the moon, he would feel that partial
justice had been done by his dcspoUt-rs.
If not ‘Montezuma,’ how would ‘Gnatia-
loupe’ answer? O ‘Christabal,’ the name
of one of tiie locality’* greatest peaks?”
For “Wasliington r ’ Mr. Field suggested
the substitution of “Tacoma” the name of
the highest mountain, “Yakima,” tin- name
of one of its finest rivers, or Walluh, the
liquid designation of one of its triii
Tacoma was preferred. What should lie
the name of a new Stale was not p question
he said, of merely local ini|>ortaiieef-the
people of the whole country had rights in
the matter rights of postal convenience apd
■esthetic rights that should not be sacrificed
even to local “custom.” The coiumittpe
thanked Mr. Field and ordered his plba
printed.

a card ret
who said
to Mrs,
cion* Ingalls. You know what awfully
bine blood there is there.—John Kndicoit
and all that—first Governor of Massachu
setts and all that—or second, or whatever
lie was, ami how there’* nothing but Puri
tan blood in the family and nil that. Well,
we were all disenssing an old family jxir-
trait over the door, when Senator Ingalls
who salon Mrs. Endicott’s left, was allud
ed to as being of Puritan stock.
“Oh, yes,” lie said, turning to the Hos
tess, “and it is a little oild that my ances
tor, Edmund Ingalls, came over in the
same vessel with your distinguished ances
tor. John Endicott.”
“Indeed?” said the lady. “What did he
do? I do not seem to recall him.”
“Very likely not,” said the pn-sident of
the Senate; “he was a Saxon peasant and
could not read or write.”
Everybody seemed paralyzed for a min
ute; then Mrs. Senator McPhenon rallied
and said, “Well, I’m so glad somebody
had an humble origin.” Then everylsjdy
laughed except the antique personage
hanging over the door, who seemed to
frown a little, and the general equanimity
was restored.
I once went to Senator Ingalls to get_

of momentary passion tlint would imbrue
the hands of two peaceful nations in each

So I merely leaned against a doorpost
and contemplated their rear elevation.
They wear thin fiats in tiie Ilousd, nnd
queer looking head-fixings they are. Tiie
brim is perfectly stiff anti about six incites
wide anti tiie crown about a loot high,
composed of little spires and minarets of
woven horsehair, giving it the appearance
of a fancy bird-cage. The frame of the
whole rig is whalebone, but it is covered
with this horse-hair nnd black mosquito
netting, and is perfectly trans-parent. It
is tied on with a string of big black heads
looped under the chin.
The dress of nil except the minister is
somber, and its suggestion of some prelnti-
cal garb is completed by a white lace scarf
wound about the neck and falling freely
over the breast.
I asked Dr. Allen, when they were not
looking, how they stood our complex civili
zation. “First rate,” he said. “They saw
the first railroad in China, and tiie first
steamer at Yokohama, so they were pretty
well prepared. AU’except the elevator.
They had never even heard of this, and
when they step|icd into one in the Palace
Hotel they thought they were going to
heaven.”
I inquired about the queer looking liend-

Yes,” I remarked; “go on.
‘Well, since that the hat brim has been
every year gradually growing narrower,

“Allen,” I saitl, “I do grievously suspect

“No—honest Injun!” he solemnly de
posed; “that's true alioiit the lint ”
“See here. Doc," I inquired in conclu

“Y’esj” lie interrupted; “thev do. But

Just then they surged through into the

The Itlair Rill
From the Brunswick Journal.
Both tiie Senators Irorn Georgia voted
tor the Blair educational hill, which
passed the Senate by a vote of 29 to 39.
There is nothing surprising in Senator
Brown’s voting in favor of the passage of
the hill, hut how Senator Colquitt can rec
oncile its provisions with liis quondam
Democratic principles is at best a mystery.
The measure is clearly unconstitutional.
Congress hu- no authority tor appropria
ting funds for educational purposes in the
Slates. Tiie education of the people by
appropriations from the Federal govern
ment will vest in it an amount, of power
etuirely unwarranted by tlie history, tra
ditions’ and intent of the American consti
tution.
There seems to lie little doubt hut that
the hill will lie defeated in the House, but
even if it should pass by a small majority,
tiie inevitalde 1’residen’tinl veto,, with its
clear and logical reasoning, awaits it like
a swonl of Damocles.
