/ From the Republican. Nov. Al
THAT splendid work Of art, concerning
which the public have been led to form
such high anticipations, has been receiv-
ed and set up, though it is not yet per-
fectly adjusted to its bearings In that
respect however, it will soon be CON-
plete, and open to examination. 1t stands
at the entrance Of the corridor leading
from the old hall Of the House to the
new.
The door is of bronze. The design
was by Mr.. Randolph Rogers, an Ameri-
can artist working at Rome. The fOun-
der was Mr.. Frederic Won Muller, Of Ba-
varia. It is said to be the only work Of
the kind in the world. It's weight is
10000 pounds. To this date there has
been paid upon it s28.O00. There are
some outstanding bills, and some addi-
tional expense is now incurring. When
it is completed and ready for use, the
total expense will be just about exactly
$4,000.
The leading subject of its embellish-
ments is the history Of Columbus. It
has two valves, with four panels on each
valve, and one semioircplar panel over
the transom. The first panel Cbeginuing
at the bottom Of the left hand valve)
contains a scene representing Columbus
before the council at Salamanca; the sec
ond panel, his leaving the convent of La
Robida; the third panel, his audience
with Ferdinand and Isabella; the fourth
panel, his departure from Palos; the
semieireular panel over the transom rep
resents his first landing at San Salvador;
the fifth panel, his first encounter with
the Indians at HispaDiola; the sixth pan.
el, his triumphant entry into Barcelona ;
the seventh panel represents him a pris-
oner in chains about to be sent back to
Spaini the eighth panel contains a scene
representing his death. There are six.
teen small nieh3s in the border or frame
around the . 3Or, in which are sixteen
statuettes, representing distinguished con-
temporaries of Columbus, and between
the panels are heads representing histo-
rians who have written on his voyages
from his own time down to the present
day, ending with Irving and Prescott.

Of the work has a beautifully soft and
mellow tone. All the figures and orua-
nents are very sharp and clear in outline,
md the mechanical execution is almost
wonderful in its perfection.

ANCIENT WALL PAINPNGS-The true fresco
process, as applied to pictures, does not APP
pear to have been understood by the artists
Of Greece or Rome They prepared colored
panels in their walls by a frasco process, in
which color was applied to successful coatings
Of the plaster while wet; thus producing pan
els, or spaces Of a self color, or waved in i'm
itation Of marble, which were so ornamental,
and at the same time SO solidly done, that
whole slabs were frequently removed from
one building 10 another on account Of their
great beauty Such panels, in walls, were
also prepared by this fesco process with a
ground color, intended to receive a picture,
which was painted upoh it in distemper Of a
superior kind, which is often enormously
termed fresco, and which has, in fact, proved
itself fully as durable insome Of the paintings
Of Pomptii; but it is extremely doubtful
whether any of the baths Of Titus at Rome
orthose of the houses Of Pompeii, or Of the
recently discovered paintings OF the crypt Of
St Clemelts at Rome, executeb about the
time OF Constantine, were actually painted in
fresco, It was the Italian artists OF medieval
epochs who developed the art Of lresco as ap-
piled to the picture itself, as well as the wall
or ground intended to receive it and with
them the art has probaly died out, never to
be revived with anything like the same am
cunt Of mechanical success. Builder.

E7erEthing EXPLAINED.


/ THE following satire on The Yesti-
ges of Creation, occurs somewhere in
Disraeli's FTancred.s
After making herself very agreeable.
Lady Constance took up book which
was at hand, and said, Do you know
this? And Toncred, opening a volume
which he had never seen, and then turn
ing to its title page, found it was The
Revelations Of Chaos, a startling work
just polished, and of which had reach
ed him.
No, he replied; 4 have not seen
it,
1 viii lend it to you if you like; it is
one of those books one must read. 1t
explains everything, and is written in a
very agreeable Style
To judge from the title, the subject is
rather obscure, said Tancred. aa-
No lauger so, said Lady Constance.
1t Is treated Scleatyfcaliy5 everything is
explained by geology and astronomy, and
in that way. 1t shows you exactly how
a star is formed; nothing can be so pret-
ty! A cluster Of vapor-the cream of
the milky way-a sort of celestial cheese
-churned into Iight-you must read it,
tbs charming.
Nobody ever saw star formed, said
Tancred.
Perhaps not. You must read the
Revelation it is all explained. But
what is most interesting, is the way in
which man has been delelo2ed.' You
know, all is development, The priu-
ciple is perpetually going on First,
there was nothing, then there was some
thing; then-I forget the nezt-I think
there were shells, then fishes; then we
came-let me see-did we come next?
Never mind that; we came at last And
the next change there will be something
very superior to us-something with
wings. Ali that's it; we were fishes,
and I believe we shall be crows. But
you must read it,.
do not believe I ever was a fsh,
said Taucred.
oh! but it is all proved you must
not argue on my rapid sketch; read the
book. 1t is impossible to contradict any
thing in it. You understand It is all
science; it is not like those books in
which one says one thing and another
the contrary, and both may be wrong.
Everything is provcd-by geology, you
know. You see exactly how everything
is made; how many worlds there have
been; how long they lasted what went
before, what comes next. We are a link /
in the chain, as inferior animals were
that preceded us; we in turn shall be in
fcrior all that viii remain Of US will be
some relics in new red sandstone. This /
is derelopmen!' /

A GERMAN named HoeAich, residing
five miles west of La Crescent, was mar
ried in Portage, in November, 1860, to a
healthy German girl. The week after
their marriage they moved to Minnesota,
on the farm which they now occupy. In
August, 1861, Mrs. HoeAich gave birth
to three boys, two of whom lived. June
1862, she gave birth to three boys and
girl, two Of the boys and the girl liv-
ing. On the 9th of this month she gave
birth to two girls and boy, all of whom
were as late as Tuesday of last week,
alive and well. Ten children in less
than three years is pretty good even for
this vicinity. The parents are proud of
their success in the family line, and point
with pleasure to their company of Ger
man infantry. Government cannot af-
ford to draft the head of that family
La Crosse Democrat.
