i i A BIG THINC. i f { Whata Fond du Lac Gentlemanm Will Bo for Chicago. ‘:\ Mr, Whinfields Plan for Turning H Night Into Day. A Magnificent Job for Our Board of Pablic | f Works. \{ How Mr. W.’s Designs Might; Be ) Improved. Fond du Lac, Wis., ise towr of no very im- Posing proportions, but it is destined to wnusual Breatness. It contains gentlemen of mspiring smbition,—towering ambition, one would sup- ~Pose from a pernsal of the subjoined plan pre- Pared by 6ne of its citizens. Never sincs the Polyglot Convention at Babel determined upon the erection of a step-ladder to the etherea! arch haos the human mind conceived of o lofty & Droject as that which Mr. John W. Whinfeld, of Fond du Lac, hss stadied up, and of which ho k28 10 donbt as to the feasibility. K This project is directed at Chicago, Was con- ceived especially for Chicago's benefit. Ar. ld has long regarded us as the * people Which in darkness aat,” and is now determined that we “chall seoc = glorious light,” whose very shado'w shell be brighter than & street lamp, and whose lustre shall be asthe noonday. The watchfal inhabitants of the neighboring plinets, shall, startied from the quiet of their long isolation, point celetial tele- 8copes to us-ward at the hour of midnight, and behold, brighter than the beams c# the distant snid-day sun, the source of ourlccal illumina- ton. That this is no mere dream, can be Fudged from the plans and specifications whick the gentleman has forwarded to Chicsgo for scctept- ance. A brief description of them, as jpub- lished in the Marquette Evening Journal, : may e interesting. The plan proposes the erect ton ©f anenormous stone structure, three stor des 3n height, the two lower stories to be used a & & mammoth railroad transfer depot; tho thi x, standing some distance back from each fro ni ©of the main building, to be of iron znd sexve for offices. This porti pn of the building is tobe 65 feet high. This is merely the foundation of the structure, £ mnd must be stoutly Lut together. From the cen ro of tho upper story in the drawing, sweops b igh into the aira dome 200 feet in diameter, the lower portion of which represents a cire: alar clevestory, 25 feet in height, pierced for 24 I irge windows, with columns on ecach side of th pm, From this commences the dome proper, ib' ved, crocketed and relisved with dormer windo'ws, £nd, crowning the whole, & tower,in thres farts, hose respective diameters are 60, 50, and 40 feet, with a central air pzssage, 10 feot in dizmer . ter, running through them, and rising 10 fee & above them. There are three galleriesround th ¢ tower, ana & flight of spiral stops leadic o %o the top of the building, which will be 880-fe et high, surmounted with & :tubular iron aff 80 feet high. The iron in the constructicn of the clere-story, dome, and tower would we igh 2,000 tons; dnd, for the whole stractare, 10,000 tons, But the purposs of this vast/qrictare 1er 1ains 20 be explained.

But, before indulging in these joyous reflec- tions, it wourd be well enough to examfine thoe cost of this stupendous achievemaent. Fne cost of the Light, inclading £10,000 per ansium for 3abor, will 'be £36,000, the inventor er.timates, or one-eighth of the present cost of ligl 1ting the city. The cost of the dome with machix ery, otc., would be £850,000, or tho cost of gas for 18 months, The plans and specifications of this -wonderfal work have been brought to this city by & gen- tleman to whom they were intrusted, #nd whose name is represented in the article from which e have quoted the above descripticf, a8 well s in a letter from Mr. Wh.infield, as W * * * * Noone has vet heard of them through any of the muthorities, and it ‘may be that W * * * * has thought the schemg better adapt ed to som~ gistont city than to Chi cazo, _-emzor of It appears, however., that +k=oout the erec- he design bas * beard-n the world,” and he HHon of the lax MY atice has been done.him, as beliar - = * *tookt he plans withhim six months 820, and has not "been heard from since.

Impressive and Appropriate Ceremonies---Felicit- ous Addresses by Eminent Members of the Order. The now'0dd Fellows' Hall on the third floor ot Methodisf Church Block, corner of Clark and ‘Washington sfreets, was publicly dedicated to the uses of the order last evening, the ceremony be- ing witnessed by's large sudience of hoth sexes, It was an interesting ozcasion, being the first dedication of an 0dd Fellows’ Lodge since the fire. Tho hall, seventy feet Jong and thirty wide, is handsomely fitted up. A carpet of tasteful pat- torn hides the floor. On each side are raised platforms with cheirs for the members, and at the ends are higher platforms, where the officials sit in awful majesty. There are three high- ‘backed chairs of black walnut and luminous crim- son upholstery on the Noble Grand's dais, and the ssme number of chairs in black upholstery on the dais of the Vice Grand. A finely carved pedestal, surmounted with & marble slab, stands in front of the Noble Grand. A clock over the Vice Grand's head marks the passing minutes, and a huge stove on one side diffuces & genial and accept- able heat in winter. There is also s small but efficient organ for musical delectation, Pen- dant from the centre of the ceiling is an elab~ orate gasolier sffording abundant light, and minor branches shoot out from the walis over the dais. There are several ante-rooms where novices desirous_of penetrating the inner mys- teries of the order are put through the prelim- inary “course of sprouts” preparatory to enter- ing the sanctum sanctorum. There are hat Tooms, and all the appurtenances of o well-rog- ulated Lodge. The Lodge is & model, & gem of nestness and beauty, a thing of joy. Theo furniture and fittings-np are the product of the furniture establishment of Potter, King & Co., Nos. 284, 236 and 288 Wabash avonue. Everything is elegent, croditable to the Lodge, to the city that produced it, and to the firm un- der whose direction it was manufactured. The cost of fitting up the apartments was 7,000. Excelsior snd Union Lodges are the proprie- tors of the Lodge, and will oceupy it jointly, letting it on nights when they do not use it fo othorgodges, whick will be a_convenience to those that were burnt out of house and home, and have not yet found au abiding place. The exercises lnst evening wero begun by Noble Grand John L. Barnum striking the gavel on the pedestal. The officers of the Grand Lodge of the State, with Grand Master John G. Togers, P. G, JL snd P, G. R. at the head, marched to the dais, and wero received in duo form by the Noble Grand, tho organ playing appropriate strains.

Excelsior Lodge had its home in the building at the time of the fire, with an unexpired lease, They Lad secured s leaso for ten years more, through the kindness of the proprietors of the building. Union Lodge had joined with Excel- sior Lodge in the mow enterprizs, and both had thereby discovered the verity of the saying that “in union there is strength.” The Order, start- ed fifiy years ago in Daltimore, was spreading it ailéntbut wonderful rapidity. 0dd Fellov- ship must supply some want, or it would nof have fowrished S0 lazuriantly, The Order had ppread all over the continent, snd its virtues ‘were carrying it beyond the sea to England and othor parts of Eurcpe.

Governor, 41,073 Baxtor. 1,081 97,927|Brooks. 8,415 insist that they have been cheated out of a majority of at least 4,500, but there is no friendly United States Judge at hand, and resistance would bo useless. The return made to Congrosa by the Greeley Eleotors will probably be thrown out with contempt. —In Florids, Governor Reed and his associ- ates, all perfectly loyal to Grant, appearod at ono time to Iack courage. The Federal power inter~ vened and fixedup the returns.

The following letter has been writton by Pro- fessor Bimon Newcomh, Secretary of the United States Commission on the Trsnsit of Vonsus, in anawer to inquiries : “Tcan besy auswer your inguirias by some general atatements respecting the probatle plan of organization and operations of the expedi- tions for observing the transit of Venus of De- cember, 1874. It 14 oxpected that the principal reliance will be upon photography. oge- ments are being made for equipping _eight pho- tographic stations, of which four iill be in the Northern and four in the Sonthern Hemisphere. The northern stations will bo in China, Japan, and the adjacent islands if any of them offor & favorable station, The southern stations will bein New Zesland, Chatham, Tasmanis, and, perhiaps, Korguclon leland. Bach station will e provided with an astronomer as chief of party, an assistant astronomer, and two or thres plioigraphio assistants. * The Commission hes not yet taken any ac- tion looking to the selection of assistants, and T can therefore give you no information on this point of & definite naturs, but I am of the opin- ion that a policy will be adopted looking to the employment of volunteers from the younger graduates of tho various polytechnic and scien- tifio schools of the country, if sufficient number properly qualified present themselves. The qualifications principally eq in the astro- nomical mssistants will be familiarity with the construction, use and management of the transit instrument, 'and expertness in making and re- ducing_obseryations withit. The photographic sssistants must be well practiced in the doteils of photographic manipulation, but I consider it very doubtful whether the more delicate parts of this work can be entrusted to any but profes- sional photographers. “ All the parties will have to meot here in the spring of 1874 for general rehearsal and practice. We expect to have an artificial Venus moving over an artificial solar disk st the distance of two mile,the transits of which all will observe togeth- er with the same instruments they are to use on the actual transit. As far ag possible, all the in- struments will be mounted, used, and dismount- ed in the same way as in the actual transit. The parties will gail for their destinations in thesum- mer, 80 us to have amplo time for all prelimina- Ty preparations, especially the determination of longitude and latitude. ¢ Tt will be necessary to engage the chiefs of parties bofore making auy arrangements for the engagement of agsistants, and this will probably be deferred until Congross has definitely pro- vided for organizing thie expeditions, But the tender of services will be in order at any time, and all such- offers will, if tho qualifications of the persons aro satisfactorily ascertained, be duly considered at the proper time. Imey also state, for the information of yonrselves or others who may contemplate volunteering, that it is hoped to make provision for sending all the parties out, snd roturning. them to thoir homes y the selected routes, free of expense, and for furnishing subsistonce during the whole period of their employment ; but that more than this cannot be definitely promised, except, perhaps, in special cases.” g Constadle of the Tower. Sir Willism Gomm, 88 vears of age, has Leen made Constable of the Tower, in London, The post is generally the reward of past services in the army, and is held by rotired ofticers. These are always old men, and the succession fails in rapidly. In fact, in s litfle over a yeer, Sir Willism Gomm is the third who has held the office. Like the Lord Masor's show, the in- suguration of a Constable of the Toweris a civic pageunt. Wallington, Combermere, Buir- goye, Pollk, have all held it, and have all passed through the same time-honored ordeal, aching, perhaps, in all their gouty limbs, and hesrtily wishing the drenry spectacle at an end. On the present occasion, the Tower Green was gay with marching batteries, waving flags, and glittering bayonots. Tho yeoman warders of the Tower— profanely called Beefeaters—were out in all their glory of Tudor costume, bonnets, ruffs elashed trunk-hose, laced doublets, and Toseit shoes. Lady Gomm rodein her carrisge with Bir William, and_slighted; the “Queen’s Keys" were duly delivered byanother procession, hesd- d by the Lord Chamberlsin, and_accepted, and the Tower crown jewels, it ancient armor, and el its musty records passed into the keeping of the now Constable. iz S —Judge Wait, of Mankato, Minn., has decided that homesteads are exempt from execution for debt contracted previous to iasue of pat- enta.
