It is asked, “May there not be some connection between this fact and the other fact that in 1AS7 there was in London but one arrest for each ers, which will supply steam enough j forty-eight of the population, while in GEORGIA’S NEW CAPITOL. Something- About its Interior-Ten Acres of Plastering. Atlanta livening Journal. Ten acres of plastering. It. will take that many to cover the walls of the new eapitol. The plaster ing will be something more than an inch thick, and if it were all pul on one acre the mass would be a foot deep. The weight of it will be about 2,250 tons, or as much as the weight of for ty-four mogul engines. But the plastering is a small part of the grand pile which Georgia is build ing for her seat of government; and though old Stone mountain, fifteen miles to the east, raising its granite sides in sullen grandeur, seems to pro test against a eapitol of Indiana lime stone, its summit will not sooner meet the sun than that exalted dome. Two hundred and thirty feet above t he earth the observer in the lantern of rhat dome will see Kennesaw clearly with the naked eye, and with a good glass he will reach Lookout mountain. From the base of the dome where the masons are now at work, there is a tine cycloraniic view. From Atlanta the land slopes away on all sides in un dulating surface, with strips of wood land skirting the fields, and stray ham lets dotting the distant slopes. ZS’oth- , ing so clearly* shows Atlanta’s com manding position and the great area over which the city is spreading as this bird’s-eye view. But the chief interest at present is within, where two hundred workmen scattered through this great building are almost lost. Here and there you see two or three and you wonder where the workmen are. On the dome there are thirty or forty at work, and about a. dozen masons there are putting in 25,OCX) brick a day. Only ten feet more of stone and brick and the iron section of the dome, with its numerous col umns, will begin to rise. That, will carry it about 60 feet above its present height, and then the lantern will carry it forty feet higher, and above that, on a pedestal, the Goddess of Liberty will f rise 16 feet, 24 feet with the pedestal. The top of the statue will be 262 feet i above the ground, and the highest lookouts will be in the upper part of t the lantern, about 250 feet from the } earth. The vaulted ceiling of the rotunda is | i7g feet from the first floor. Around I this rotunda there are no promenades, $ but there are openings on each floor H where a person can go to a railing and 4look over into it, above and below. The 4great opening is 75 feet in diameter, its C walls rise perpendicularly up to the JfOornices where the ceiling begins to to heat the building and drive the two I fans that are to send fresh air all through it. The sanitary arrangements are in every respect ample, and a system of electric call bells will add to the com fort and convenience of the offices. The commission has been shown a very ingenious arrangement, which, it j adopted, will be of great value in the j preservation of records, while it will | make the handling of heavy books an j easy matter. The walls are furnished j with metal racks, divided into spaces j the proper size for the heavy books of j record. In each space is a metal truck upon which the book lies. The truck rolls in and out with the book, making it easily accessible. Tins horizontal position of the books will preserve the binding, while the ordinary method of setting heavy ledgers upright the nuiss the back ually the Xew York, during the same year, there was one arrest to each twenty-one of the ‘ population ; in Brooklyn, one to twenty-three; in St.Louis, one to twen ty ; in Chicago, one- to .fifteen.” Boys thrown upon the world with out means or trade fall an easy prey to temptation. Here is a field for the well-wishers of the race to exert a most beneficial effect on the young manhood of America by establishing schools where boys can cheaply and easily learn trades and acquire habits of industry. In Randolph county last year the ne groes increased their taxable property 14 per cent., a much larger increase than that made by the whites of the county. The negroes of Terrell are also coming to the front, and we have j in the county a good many energetic I causes ; and prosperous negro farmers. Mr. J. , if paper to sink down from W.

Those light-sliafts are great openings 40x60 feet, reaching from the irst floor to the top of a rectangular 'lantern which rises twenty feet above hereof. The light is admitted to the ilia ft through fourteen large windows a the sides and end of the lantern, lie windows are ten feet square, with vlied tops. These great light-shafts are located. One to the north and one to the south of the rotunda. Around each one of them there is. on every floor, a corridor fifteen feet wide, to be paved with yhite marble tiles, twelve inches Suare. Tlie total width of the opening qotlie walls of the corridors, from side ^ to side, is seventy feet, and the total ([]nv j s length is ninety feet The walls will swret of , ucee * $j|-wainseotted with diflevent kinds of: v j. t . rop nf own weight. The horizontal position entirely avoids this, and will preserve the books for a much longer time. In this position, too, the books are more difficult to burn than oak timber. There is not much danger of fire, however, as it would hardly be possible to burn anything but the furniture and hardwood finish of an apartment. The iron floor supports, four feet apart, have flanges on each side to sup port t he hollow tiling between ceiling and floor. The tiles are made in such angular shape that a number of them form a wedge four feet wide between the supports. This wedge principle is somewhat similar to that of the arch. It lias been tested with a weight of 2,- 500 pounds to the square foot. If the new eapitol is finished by the time specified in the contract, the next Legislature will be the first to air its eloquence under these great porticos, and around those grand corridors will assemble the groups of members to dis cuss the merits of senatorial and judi cial candidates. It is not likely, however, that tin* occupation of the building will be gin until next spring. The work will hardly be completed in time for the December session of the Legislature, and the completion of the eapitol will, no doubt, be celebrated by a pageant of such extent and magnificence that it will not be attempted in less propri- tious weather than that of spring. On great occasions, the light stream ing down through the great shafts will brighten many a brilliant scene in the | corridors, and the high rotunda’s vault will echo many a merry laugh with dis tant but musical mimiciy. “You never saw a Saturday in your life when the sun didn’t shine,” re- More Corn. marked Col.

What can Vie done for these frightful ly burdened Western farmers V Ono thing only—their cost of living can and must be reduced. It is impossible for them to go on supporting a war tariff in time of peace. The burden of debt resting on them in such that they can not continue marketing their produce at low free rates, while paying high bounty prices for everything they buy. Congress must take notice that Western farmers can no longer be bled at every pore! They cannot meet tlieir appall ing debts and save their farms, unless the needless incubus of war tariff in time of peace is taken off.—Chicago Times. The litraid calls attention to the growth of New York city since 1865. It certainly has been marvelous, and the prospect is that its growth in the next quarter of a century in wealth and pop ulation will be greater than it has been in the last. In 1865 the city had a pop ulation of 725,000, the assessed value of its real estate was §427,000,000, its in coming and outgoing commerce reached $400,000,000 a year and it occupied twen ty square miles of territory. Now its population is about 1,500,000, the asses sed value of its real estate is over $1,- 300,000,000, its annual commerce amounts to $800,000,000 and it occupies forty square miles of territory.
