Calhoun's stuf HO III I'oaltlou. At 10 o'clock Tuesday morning ti bali dozen workmen begun to turn tho wind lass of tho huge derrick ou Marion .sentare, and tho colossal bronze statue of .Ioho C. Calhoun, which Avas to crown UlC work ami realize tho dream of thirty live yean, slowly rose from the ground. The work was delayed until that hour iu order to allow some of tho members of the committee to bo present. Six stout cables hud been passed around tho bot tom of tho chair and made fast to tho figure, whioh was Huts nicely balanced. Tito lund was still well covered with thick folds of canvass, tightly bound. Guy repos leading in ditlcrcut direc tions ?ero held each by a workman, thus enabling them to regulate any circular or lateral motion, and at the sumo time to place the statue iu the position it was to occupy on the pedestal. lt did not take long to hoist it to tho top of the pedestal, ami there it was allowed to remain, lt was more sugges tive than ever of the idea of an execu tion, until tho mon at tho end of tho gay ropes had been placed in the proper positions. Then the boom of tho der rick slowly moved around, swinging the statue din elly over the pedestal where it wus to rest. At ten minutes past ll tho statue of fohn O. Calhoun rested on its pedestal, thirty-li vt; years after thc corner stoue ot* thc monument had been laid. The ligure faces- the SOtlth, the back of thc choir being to thc north. Stand ing on the ground one cnn hardly form au accurate idea of its dimensions or height, but those who who saw the work men on tho BCallblding near it yesterday could easily judge of its !: zo-thc men looked like thc most diminutive of dwarfs. There romain now only tho four his torical ligures and the ornaments lo tho panels to complote the monument. Mr. Viett, tho contractor, who did the granite work, ts to bo praised as well as con gratulated for tho successful consumma tion of his contract. lt is admitted to be un admirable piece of work, and it is somewhat strange that not a single stone was spoiled in the cutting. The work lias taken considerably moro time than it was expected, but there were unavoid able interruptions and moreover it hus been splendidly done. When tho Cul liouu monument is completed there will be few handsomer works of art to bo seen in tho United Slides.-News and Courier. College K\n il i i mit in ll*.

Mr. McDermott, a wid ower, fell in love with a beautiful young girl, and courted her with a zeal which only true nlTcclion knows. Mr. McDer mott has the misfortune tO have a son, but thc son very considerately did not object lo tho fair young lady whom his father was trying to make his* step-mother. In fact, tho young mau called on thc young lady and made lier feel that she would lie wel come ns a member of tho family. This all pleased thc lather, of ( ourse, and in a buist of parental affection he told his son that ho and the young lady were engaged. Then thc son went over to congrat?late thc young lady. He did it affectionately-SO very af fectionately that he proposed and was ac cepted. All elopement followed, und tho fond father has now lt daughter-in-law and the son hus no step mother.
