ventilation and with large spaces filled
with ground glass. AT night the hall will
be lighted by gos.lights placed above the
glass of the ceiling, thus excluding the
glare, heat and smell of the gas, and pre-.
venting the contamination of the atmos-
phcre by products of combustion. The
ventilation of the room will be accomplished
by using Il fan or other blowing engine to
supply the air, and 10y warming it as it
enters by pipes filled with moderately
heated water. Five doors lead into the
hall from the surrounding corridors. Two
private staircases lead from the hall itself
to the basement story, which will always
afford access to the hall, without annoy
ance or confusion in the most crowded
states Of the capitol.
The reporters gallery will occupy one
side Of the hall above the speakers chair,
with a broad corridor behind, fitted with
desks and telcgraphic apparatus for the
use Of the reporters. The speakers room,
and two large retiring rooms intended to
be used for consultation by the different
parties, open directly into the hall from
either side. The southern portion is ac-
ccsSable only from the southern retiring
room, and is intended for the use of mem
bers. The present Hall of Representa-
tives will be altered by the removal Of the
galleries, the present temporary wooden
floor, and the enlargement Of the doors,
and used as the rotunda now is, for the
assemblagcs of the people visiting the
The hall of the Senate is arranged
upon the same principles as the House.
1t is one hundred and twelve feet long by
e%ighty-two feet wide. The ceiling is of
iron. The Nice-P Presidents room, the
Senators retiring rooms and conference
rooms will lead into the hall. There will
be the same facilities for easy access to
the hall at the other wing, without the
annoyance of passing through the dense
crowds, as is now the case. The western
and northern porticoes are reserved ex-
clusively for Senators. The staircases,
corridors, offices, &C., will be finished in
magnificent style, worthy of the great and
united nation whose capitol it is destined
to be, we earnestly hope, for centuries to
come,

The Washington correspondent of the

nal with the following dimensions of the
new Hall Of Representatives and the Sem

The new Hall of Representatives is one
hundred and thirty-seven feet long, ninety
two feet wide, and thirty feet high. 1t is
surrounded by a side gallery, capable of
seating twelve hundred persons; three
hundred separate desks, like those now
used in the Senate. are to he arranged

will be inclosed and used as a cloak and

Extravaganza im Dress.

In a city of Belgium, extravaganza has
assumed such alarming proportions hat
the ladies themselves have been obliged
to combine for the purpose of arresting
It's disastrous progress. 1t appears hat
extravaganza had been for some years a
source Of constraint in families and it
was noticed no marriages were contracted,
since the young men, frightened at the
bills that loomed up in the distance, pre-
ferred TO live in celibacy. The mothers,
recognizing the inconvenience of a state
of affairs, encouraged by themselves, have
resolved to bring about a salutary reform,
and with this view they have formed a
Committee, which meets once a week.
They have declared open war with extra
vagance, and every member announces
publicly, the retrenchments Inade in her
own household expenses. They say that
happy results have already been obtained,
and hat similar associations are to be
formed in the neighboring towns.

Disregard OF Death.

1t is curious to watch, as | have done,
the utter contempt of death with which
the Turkish soldier marches to meet the
foe; he knows that his destiny has been
fixed since the day of his birth he knows
hat he must die whenever his time comes,
and that "A whole park of artillery would
miss him, if his destiny so Iecrees it;
finally he knows that if he fall in battle,
he will 60 s~traightway to Paradise-and
won't he be better off there than in this
world Of cares The same feeling, indeed,
predominates with the Turks whenever
the approach of death is felt. Ihaye seen
them dying here in the hospitals, and the
calmness of their demeanor would shame
many a Christian let them once be per-
suaded that they are booked for another
world, and the surgeon may lock up his
indictments again-no persuasion will
induce the Turk to attempt to Illustrate the
designs of Providence. Il correspondent.

E25- How little we know of the use Of
the various unemployed vermin surround

motive power is annually wasted by neg
lecting that very elastic, industrious and
lively animal called a flea, is undeniable !;
and it was, therefore, with considerable
pleasure, we read in an English paper
that
A gentleman in Kirkaldy, Scotland,
has trained a couple of mice, and invent
ed machinery enabling them to spin cot
ton yarn. The work is so constructed
that the common house mouse is enabled
to twist Irvine and reel from 100 to 1876
threads per day. To complete this, the
little pedestrians have to run 10 l-2 miles.
A half-penny worth of oat meal, at Is. Sd.
per peck, serves one of these treadwheel
cuiprits for the long period of five weeks.
In that time it makes 10 threads per
day. At this rate a mouse earns Is. 6.
per annum. Take off sd. for board, and
Is. for machinery, there will arise Is.
clear for every mouse, annually. The
mouse employer was going to make an
application for the lease of an old empty
house, which would hold 10000 mouse
mills, sufficient room being left for keep
ers and some hundreds of spectators.

Colonel Hay, of the British army, re-
Gently tried his hand with the Volcanic
Repeating Pistol, a Yankee invention.
The pistol used Oh the occasion was an
eight-inch barrel, which discharges nine
balls in rapid succession. The Colonel
fired the arm twenty-seven times, making
a number of shots which would do credit
to a riaeman. He first fired at an eight
inch diameter target at one hundred yds.,
putting nine balls inside the ring. He
then moved back to a distance of 200 yds.,
and fired nine balls more, hitting the tar
get seven times. He then moved back
n hundred yards further, a distance of
three hundred yards from the mark, and
placed five of the nine balls inside the
ring, and hitting the "bulrs-eye" twice.
