she steadily rejected other proposals without
regard TO their magnitccnce. 1t was current.
ly reported at Paris few months ago, that
her reply to his pro,estations of love had been:
'frince am of too good family to be your
mistress. and, if the saying be not exactly
true in fact, there is no doubt that it is so in
spirit. Latterly the attentions of the lover
have increased in zeal, and the position of the
lady in his Court has been more marked than
ever. She was the heroine of every festival:
during the recent excursion of the Court to
Compiegue,she stood as its bright particular
star Of the imperial admiration, and there were
not wanting those who predicted her marriage
with Napoleon. Still the lover hesi,ated -
he adored, he worshiped, yet he didn't come
up to the mark. But the Countess was not
discouraged She is too sklfui an actress to
be at fault in such an emergency. She an.
nounced the approaching departure of herself
and her mother for Madrid The result was
the proposal of marriage, the appointment of
the day. the annunciat!on to the Ministers and
the world tnas the Counties was to be his wife,
and no doubt ere this the honne Of Madrid and
the grand daughter Of the formt U. s. Consul
at Malaga has become EuGrNIA, Empress Of the
French. 1t is said that a gypsy once predicte,l
that she would be elevated to throne, after
the fashion of the famous. prediction Of the
negress to Josephine 1t remains to be seen how
far the future will complete the parallel be.

Hollow Bricks.

The Tribune quotes what the New York
State Agent to the Worlds Fair b. p. John
son, says of them, in his report to the Legsla:
ture we copy that.
"There arc several models for making hou.
SEES fire proof, but the most important improve.
ment in this respect was the plan of building
with hollow bricks. There were exhibitions
of these brick in both the English and French
departments Opposite The Crystal Palace a
block Of model houses was erected by Prince
Albert, a contribution to the exhibition The
peculiarities of the building, which was de.
signed for four families werethe exclusive use
Of hollow bricks for the walls and partitions,
and the entire absence Of timber in the floor
roof, which were formed with fiat arches of hol
low brick work, whichwas secured by wrought
ir On rods connected with cast iron stringers
resting Oh the external walls and binding the
whole structure together. The building is
thus rendered fire proof. and much more dura-
bic than ifbuit in the ordinary manner
"lhe most important advantages derived
from the use Of hollow bricks are dryness and
warmth as well as economy Of construction.
The evils resulting from the absor ption Of
moisture j common bricks and other porous
ma erials are obviated and the battening of the
walls is unnecessary. Hollow bricks may be
made with any good tile machines. in the
same manner as ordinary draining ipes and
at about the same cost in proportion to the clay
used. 1heya re more compressed, require less
drying, and with much less fuel are better
burned than ordinary bricks, even when waste
heat or that in the upper part of the kiln only
is used.
The saving in brick work affected by the
use of the patent bricks, when made at fair
price, will be from twenty five to thirty per
cent Oh their cost, with a reduction of thirty.
five per cent on the quantity OF mortar, and
similar saving on the labor. when done by ac-
customed workmen. The process Of drying is
much more rapid than in common brick work,
and the smoothness of the internal surface of
the walls built with patent burned biick, rem
ders plastering in many instances quite un.
necessary, whereby a further saving is effec.
ted, not only in the first cost but also in the
subsequent mainte nance. If glazed on the
outer face, as may be done with many clays,
a superior finished surface is obtained without
plaster. Courier.
