The Hall of Representatives.

member OF Congress, writing to his paper from
Washington, in regard to the Hall of the House Of
Representatives, says
"An old member has Immense advantage
over a new one in this respect, viz he knows how
to select seat This advantage consists not in
comfort or convenience; for all are alike in this re-
spect. Nor in the advantage of making speech;
for a member can always procure another's seat to
make a speech from, or he speak from the
Clerks desk.
"Much advantage depends on making the right
motion at the right time. In getting the Speakers
ear, there is the greatest possible difference in the
seats and hence a good seat may determine the
tate OF very important measure. Experienced
members, however, can turn the poor seats to very
good advantage by different modulations of the
voice and different turns of the body Yet all this
is matter Of great well as inconvenience.
at is not generally known that so poorly were
the principles of acoustics consulted in the con
struction OF the hail. that two may be whisper
ing together so low that their next neighbor cannot
hear them, and yet all they say is distinctly heard
on the opposite side of the House Men often ad
dress the Speaker one side of the House and he
turns his eye to recognise them on the opposite
side, installing the echo for the voice itself A
gentleman, who was occupying the Speakers chair
many years SINCE told me that he heard in his seat
amid warm debate below, the whsperings of a
young in what is called 'the love corner of
the ladies' gallery, who was making proposals to a
young lady in so low tone that her own mother
did not know what going on. Said my in
formant, Il was attending to her duties and she was
attending to mine. | was listening to the very i'm
portant debate between her daughter and her lover,
whilst she was listening TO the debates of Con-
gress' Ii is very difficult for member to tell
at first from what direction voice comes to him"

PERJURY TO CONVICT AN INNOCENT MAN OF
CRIME.-Some six months ago the cars were thrown
off the track Of the Troy and Saratoga road by OBJ
structions put upon it. The engineer was killed
and the fireman manned for life. John Tallmadge,
n farmer, who lived in the neighborbood, was
rested on suspicion of having thrown the cars off
the track, and has just been tried on charge Of
murder at Ballston, before Judge Wright of the
Supreme Court IL proven on the trial that
Geo. Parker, one of the witnesses, had arrived at
Quebec the day after the accident occurred, and not
at the time the witness stated. Another witness,
named Balfry, did not arrive in this country till
two months after the accident. During the pro-
gress of the trial it became manifest that the
ward offered by the railroad company tempted
these men to charge Mr.. Tallmadge with this
crime, and he was accordingly acquitted, and the
witnesses bound over for trial on charge of PERU
ry. Mr. Tallmadge has been six months in prison
at expense of $4,000.

Some time ago announced in our columns that
the beautiful prima DONNA Mad'lle Tedesco, had
made matrimonial match with rich and wealthy
person from Central America, by the name of Jo-
seph Thomas. Ii was also stated that Thomas had
settled several thousand dollars the father of
Tedesco, and that he preparing TO depart from
this country to England as charge daDaues from
Guatemala, or some other State in Central Ameri-
ca, taking his young wife with him to visit the old
world.
Within the last few days we have learned from
undoubted authority that Tedesco has been made a
dupe of in this affair." by of the greatest pieces
OF knavery that the human mind could conceive.
This man Thomas is, we believe, native OF Mica
ragua, in Central America, and was one of four
brothers engaged in trade there, whose father left
them a small property, probably not more than
forty fifty thousand dollars to the whole. Joseph
one of the brothers, having spent his portion OF the
property, arrived in this city some time last spring
or summer, and engaged very expensive and ce-
giant apartments in tl,ssAstor house He became
also subscriber for 6He share in the canal COM
pany organized in this city for uniting the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, through the State of Nicaragua
Singular to relate, he paid the first instalment, and
ii is supposed that the money was procured by de-
ception from the unfortunate Tedesco He got
acquainted with the lady, represented himself
as being man of immense wealth and re-
sources, that he was about going to Europe as
charge, winding up with the offer of his hand and
fortune, with settlement of $4,000 year on her
father if she would consent. After some time,
Tedesco consented. They Were married by one
of the Catholic clergymen of this city, in the pre-
sence of witnesses, among whom were Madame
Pico and Signor Vietti, well known in operate
circles. During the honeymoon, Signor Thomas
contrved 10 get from his wife all the little property
that she had saved from her earnings during the
last few years Every thing was paid out OF those
funds, Thomas wondering at the same time that
his immense funds did not reach him from
Nicaragua. At the end Of four five weeks, he
procured from Tcdesco considerable sum, repre-
senting that he was going to Washington for some
special purpose and that is the last she has OF
him, he having taken his departure in the last steam
ship for Chagres, to reach Nicaragua, and even
gone far to deny to various persons, before he
went away, that he was married to the unhappy
Tedesco at all.
These facts, we believe, substantially authen-
tic. and we have been authorized to publish them,
for the purpose of setting at rest the rumors and
surrnises about the lady in question more cold
hearted piece of villany never was perpetrated,
than what this man Thomas has accomplished to-
wards the unfortunate Tedesco.-N. Y Herald

NoS oMsIA PossUMUs oMNEs.--The meaning of
this Latin proyerb is "Not every body do every
thing" We have been reminded of il by seeing
of late that some men, and some editors even can
not tell how many years IL takes TO make the half
of hundred. Even neighbors of the american
Messenger, whose monthly sheet for January, 1850,
has already made its appearance, have fallen into
the mistake Of supposng that with the close of the
year lst9 the first half OF the century is completed
other newspapers are beginning TO throw out in
timations of the same kind. And IL may be pre-
sumed, without any special disrespect, that az
many as thousand preachers of various denom-
nations in these United States are already begin
ming to mediate the sermons which they will
preach about the completion of the half century
the first Sabbath in January next.
Must il not be admitted also that this nineteenth
century began on the first Of January, 1902 And
If the century began on that day, at tho first mo-
ment after the midnight that marked the close of
the year 1900 pray tell us whether there is any
arthmetcal possibility Of completing the first half
Of this nineteenth century prior TO the midnight
