SARTAIN's MAGAzNE.-The subscribers to this
periodical will receive, with the February Num-
Der, highly-fnished and beautiful representation
of the New CAPITOL AT WASHINGTON, engraved
on steel in the line manner, and, by special per-
mission, direct from the authentic government
plans.
This superb building, when completed con-
formally with the adopted designs, as shown in
the engravings, will be one of the most magnif-
cent structures in the world and altogether worthy
of great and powerful nation. 1t rivals in gran
deur and vastness the famous edfces of the Rus
sian autocrat at ST. Petersburg, while it surpasses
them in elegance of design and purity of taste.
Besides the large engraving on steel, the ac-
companying descriptive article will be suitably il

pile of architectural beauty. The same number
will contain also the promised engraving, steel,
of Blanchard's great picture. representing Column
