STONE FOE LONDON Butunffoe.—All kinds of
stone have been tried far the exterior of London
buildings, and every one has definitely failed to with-
stand the acids with which oar atmosphere is impreg-
nated. The facade of the Institution of Civil
Engineers, in Great George-street, which was built
of Caen stone not many years ago, is fast disappear-
ing. it presents at the present time the appearance
of a house that has been bombarded, many of the bales.
trades having absolutely mouldered away. The Portland
stone facade of Barry's masterpiece, the Travellers' Club,
is now receiving a coat of paint ; and that of the houses of
parliament, though built of a atone selected by a scientific
commission, and after a long course of experiment, as the
best and most enduring the island could afford, has also
failed, having begun to crumble away even before the
building was completed. Yet, notwithstanding these facts.
so notorious and patent to all, London architects sod
builders, caring only for the immediate effect of their
work, and utterly regardless of its future, still continue to
to employ in facades of the greatest pretension Bath, Port-
laid stone, and white brick, which latter material is rev-
demi, by a few years' exposure to smoke, infinitely meaner
looking even than red brick.—Furfnightf,y Bedew, No.

EQUALITY IN THE HUNTING FIELD.—The non-
hunting world is apt to think that hunting is confined to
country gentlemen, farmers, and rich strangers ; but any.
one who will make himself acquaintedwith the business and
position in life of the men whom he sees around him in an
average hunting field, will find that there are in the crowd
attorneys, country bankers, doctors, apothecaries,—the
profession of medicine has a special aptitude for fox-hunt-
ing,—tnaltssers, millets, butchers, bakers, innkeepers,
auctioneers, graziers builders, retired officers, judges
home from India, grazier,
who take weekly holidays,
stockbrokers, newspaper editors, artists, and sailors. In
the neighbourhood of certain large towns in which hunting
ban come to be the fashion, the majority of the large fields
which are found there will be made up of men who come
out of the town and who belong to it. A very few days
passed in watching the work of a hunting day, in observing
and feeling the ways of the men around, in hearing what
is said, in seeing what is done, and in breathing the atmo-
sphere of the field, will produce that freemasonry of which
we were speaking, and teach the tyro—not that he is to
speak to whom he likes, and as he likes ; in the hunting.
field as elsewhere the young and the unknown must wait
to be addressed by their elders, and by those who are at
home on the spot, or they will hardly avoid shipwreck,—
but will teach him the tone of equality which prevails,
and will imbue him unconsciously with • conviction that
out among the fields aristocracy is not exclusive and over-
bearing as be will probably have been taught to believe
that it is, when met in the streets.—St. Parrs Magcr:ine
