CARD HoUsEs--s'A papier-mache vii
lage for Australiain is an attractive
heading for a newspaper paragraph 1t
appears that Mr. Seynour-about to
take up his abode in the land Of nuggets
commissioned Messrs. Bielefeld to
construct number Of portable houses,
mainly with that material which they
have been instrumental in rendering pub
licly useful, papier-machel The paper
village, when made, was Temporarily set
up in the grounds of the factory. 1t con-
sisted of ten houses One of these was
villa with nine rooms each twelve feet
high another was store-house, each
eighty feet long, with sitting room,
kitchen, and two bed rooms attached !;
while the rest were small houses, vary
ing from two to six foot each. The villa
had drawing room, and dining room,
each with bay window, hall, several
bed rooms, two closets, and kitchen
The chief material of all the houses is
papie-mache rendered waterproof by a
patented process. It is not the simple
papier-mache as ordinarily used, but con-
tains an admixture of rags not reduced
to pulp, which enables it to solidify as
hard as board. The walls are double
to insure ventilation the partitions have
a strength and durability which viii put
to shame the lath and plaster mockeries
of too many of the London houses that
Jack built. The roofs are nearly fat,
just inclined sufficient to throw of rain
water. The flooring, with the joists at
tached, is made in large square pieces,
and, like the walls and the ceilings, is 50
be transported with ease and rapidly set
up. 1t was found on trial, that one of
the smaller houses could be pulled down
and built up again in four hours If, as
is stated, this paper and rag building ma
terial can be advantageously used for
barracks, and park-lodges, and shooting
boxes, and biIliard-rooms, we see no rea-
sons why Australia should monopolise
these paper houses.
This is the last house that Jack built !;
what bis next house will be built of we

VENICE AS 1T Is.-The Venice Of mod
ern fiction and the drama is of yesterday,
mere eflorescene of decay, stage
dream which the first ray of daylight
must dissipate into dust. No prisoner,
whose name is worth remembering, or
whose sorrows deserve sympathy, ever
crossed that "Bridge of Sighs," which
is the centre of the Byronic IDEAL of We
nice no great merchant of Venice ever
saw that Rialto under which the travel
Ter now passes with breathless interest :;
the statute which Byron makes Faliero
address as one of his ancestors was erec-
ted to a soldier of fortune hundred and
fifty years after Faliero's death and the
most conspicuous parts of the city have
been SO entirely altered in the course of
the last three centuries, that if Henry
Daudolo or Francis Foscari could be
summoned from their tombs, and stood
each on the deck of his galley at the en-
trance Of the Great Canal, that renown-
ed entrance, the painters favorite sub
ject, the novelist's fayorite scene, where
water first narrows by the steps Of the
Church of La Salute the mighty Doges
would not know in what spot Of the world
they stood, would literally not recognise
one stone of the great city, for whose
sake, and by whose ingratilude, their
gray hairs had been brought down with
bitterness to the grave-Ruskin.

A BRAVE HEARTED BoY.-A friend
has furnished US with the particulars Of
a thrilling accident that happened in
this county. On Sunday, the 9th inst,
two of the sons of John Hammond, who
lives about nine miles south west of
Greensborough, were playing round
shaft sunk for mining purposes, when the
youngest, about six years old, lost his
balance and pitched head foremost into
the shaft forty feet deep. His brother,
twelve years old, Immediately let down
the bucket, descended by the ropes and
timbers, gathered up his brother, who
had his leg broken by the fall, put him
IN the buchet, ascended the rope, drew
up his brother and carried him on his
home, something near quarter of mile,
before he even called for help. The
little sufferer is doing well.-Greensbor-
ough Patriot.

SAILORS SONG.

The flag that aoais above rs, boys,
So proudly in the gale,
Old Neptune never yet had seen,
When first clewed sail;
ST. Georges cross hoa.ed DER ihs seas
With undisputed sway,
With English oak. and British tars,
Beneath it, IN that day.
The Stars ind Stripes above us boTs,
Since then have been unfuried;
In tempesi tried. baptized in blood;
T the pride Of the Ocean-world.
And freer, nobler hearts sustain
Yoar banner floating proud
Than ERE before Atlantic bore,
Or wrapped In searnan's shrond.
The glorious flag above Us, boys,
Was ne'er disgraced in fight
No foeman ever saw il struck.
But dearly bought the sight;
Wherever prov has clea the waves.
In esery zone and sea,
'Tis known ard honored as the flag
OF nation brave and free.

ted to the institution an extremely Gu
rlous, interesting and constructive COL
lection of MS. bills, accounts, invento-
ries, legal instruments, and other busi-
ness papers, extending from 1882 to
1872, neatly arranged and handsomely
bound in ffty-four volumes, mostly Of
folio size. This collection may Justly be
said to be unique Of its kind. 1t is of
interest not only to the antiquary, and
the collector of curious relicts of olSen
time, but as an authenthic record of pfHi-

value. As picture of the mode Of life
and domestic habits and expenses of
English families of former generations, it
