Mr.. Chairman, dom you think that one of your
plain republican "Suckers' would feel kinder
queer like" to be placed at the Presidents table,
before these democratic "Tambours with three
stages, and "Compoliers on feet!" Why, sir, he
would almost imagine that he had suddenly been
transported to the sale testin en- maiSon rOyale
o. Louis Philippe, King Of the Faench. | have
nc doubt that some Of my constituents would much
rather face the grizzly bear on the Appalachian
mountains, that sit down before these 'Tambours
with three Stages and 'Compoliers on feet, for
five consecutive hours-the period usually requir.

The next price OF democratic furniture on
the Presidents table, to which would invite your
very particular attention, is the 'Sourtrout or
bronze gilded Plateau, a large ornamented Or pic
tured tray, which stands on the centre the table
The Plateau, with the richly giIded baskets, tr.
pods, and Etruscsn vases which accompany it,
cost in Paris 5000 francs, or 81, 1876; and is the
only piece OF table furniture which has not been
purchased since the democratic days Of retrench

three figures upon round stand, embellshed with
ivy and formed leaves, for six lights each, or.
namented with flowers.
1t does appear 10 me, sir, that the Plateau, with
its fine mirrors, in which the honest hard handed
locofoco democrats can look at themselves almost
every moment during the formal progress Of
court banquet, would be regarded even by bank
whig as pretty formidable article OF dinner fur
nIture.

Chairman, will direct your attention for few
minutes TO the magnificent set OF Table Glass.
