We published a few weeks SINCE de-
scription Of a splendid chandelier recently
hung up in the hall Of the House of Repre-
sonta,ivcs. Its fate will be seen from the
following article from the II. Y. Sun:

Globo states that on Friday morning at 10
o'clock. the large chandelier recently gus
ocndad in the Hall ofthe House of Repre-
s,p,atiycs, composed principally ofcut glass
ondwith It's counterpoisc, weighing between
,hroc or four tons, fell and was broken in
70 A countless fragments. Had the House
bacn in session, the consequences must have
bocn Iamcntable, as the desks of many
members were shattered by the falling mass.
r oDDcars that on Thu rsday evening the
chandelier was lighted by way of expert
ment and this morning at the time OF the
accident, several men were engaged in
CLEANING it. Their escape was almost mi
roculous. The chaplain, in lcrycnt pray
or. returned thanks 10 Almighty God, the
Great disposor Of all events, that the lives
OF so many had. been spared. Atter re-
naming a short time in session, the House
adjourned until Monday in order TO afford
time for cleaning the hall and making the

FOR AND AGAINST A BANK.

Congress chartered a Bank in 1871. Con-
crossed refused 10 charter a Bank in 1917.
Congress chartered a Bank in 1876 Presi-
dent Jackson vetoed the Bank in 1880
The people sustained the veto, and elected
a President, and Congress opposed to a bank
in 1882. Again the people elected Mr..
Van Buren,. the avowed opponent Of a bank,
in 1886; Congress rejected q bank, and es-
tablished the independent Treasury in 1910;
and President Tyler admits that the people
are now against a National Bank. The Su-
preme Court Of the United States, in 1924,
decided that 4 Bank was constitutional
The present Supreme Court would decide
the other way. The constitution, therefore
unaltered by Congress or the Su-

A uord TO Young Mca.-How often are
We panied to see young men after the busi-
ness Of the day is finished, ~lounging about
fashionable places Of resort; when the hours
they devote to the pursuit of pleasure as it is
styled, might be usefully occupied in the cul.
tivation Of their minds. A young man has
each night at least four hours before retiring
to rest, which he might occupy in reading
and writing. Now say he goes into business
at the age OF twenty. and remains unmarri
ed FIVE years, he will then have for mental
application duriog this time seven thousand
three hundred hours. What n store Of
knowledge might he acquired in that period!
much useful information might be OBJ
timed. Even after he marries, his family
will not detain him from an opportunity Of
instructing himself in the arts and scien-
ces.

AN OLD INDIAN HUNTER.

SHru MILK CHEESE.-Upa al the west end
OF the city there is 4 oOd-naIurcd, iun-mak-
ing negro named Parsis. who movers round
the grocery stores in that neighhorhood rath-
or more than isdesirable. Like many other
gentlemen of color. he prides himself upon
the thickness of his soul, and he is always up
for a bet upon his butting powers; and well
he may be, for his head is hard enough for Il
battcringram. The other day he made a bet
in a store that lie could but in the head O:
4 -four barrel, and he succeeded. lie then
took up 4 bet to drive it through q large
cheese, which was to be covered with a
coarse cloth. 10 keep his wool clear of cheese
crumbs. The cheese thus envsloped was
placed in Il proper position, and Parsis, start
ing of like n locomotive. buried his head up
TO his ears in the inviting target. Parsis
now began to feel himself irresistible, and
talked up S'purty considerable" A plan,
however, was soon contrived to take the con-
ceit out Of him. There being some grind
stones in the store for sale. one Of them was
privately taken up, and wrapped up in the
sam manner as the cheese had been, and
looked precisely as fit were 4 second cheese,
and Parsis readily took another bet for nine
pence, that he would put his head through it
as easy as he sent It through the first. The
interest of the spectators in the operation
became intense. Every thing was carefully
adjusted, and upon the wori given, Parsis
daried of like an arrow at the ambushed
grindstone: he struck 1t fair in the centre;
and the next instant lay sprawling on the
floor, upon which he recoiled. For some
minutes he lay speeches., and then he raised
himself slowly on bis knees, and scratching
his head said, with a squirming face. "Damn
