The HOUSE OF PLATE is thus men,
toned by a Madrid letter to the S. L. Bulle.
tin:
After the Giralda, the House of Plate
is probably the greatest lion of Seville. 1t
appears that some centuries ago, a certain
nobleman, the Duke de Alcola, was Spanish
Ambassador at Rome and that, during his
term, he paid a visit to the Holy Places in
the East. While there he tool, a fancy to
build in Seville an exact fac simile Of the
house of Pontius Plate This resolution he
speedily carried out, and the building | refer
to is the result. 1t is large and fine, having
cost in Its construction and decoration an
almost fabulous sum of money.
The first question put to each stranger in
the city is, Have you been to the House of
PIlate?' p 1t is in the style Of the Moorish
houses in Seville, having the marble columns
and haf-circle arches of that order, and is
embellished with the arabesque ornaments
upon wall and ceiling SO common in Cordova.
The house is kept in precisely the same
state that the house Of Plate was in when
the Savior was tried and condemned. The
court Is adorned with busts in marble of not
less than twenty Roman Emperors, COM
mencing with Caesar Octavius, and includ-
ing several of the Lower Empire. This may
appear ike an Gnacnr0nlSn, but that Is not
my fault. On the right is the room where
Judas received his thirty pieces of silver,
and the very table is shown upon which they
were counted out. Next, the courtroom
where the trial was mad and above, in a
little wire cage, stands painted representa-
ton of the cock supposed to have sounded
the signal for the denial of his Master by
Peter. just without the door stands G las.
per cross, which marks the end of path of
the exact length of that followed by the
Redeemer when bearing his cross from the
tribune to Mount Calvary. The path ira
verses a considerable part of the city, ending
at another cross called the Cruz del Campo.
The several stations-fourteen in ali
where took place the various events of the
sorrowful march, as recorded in Catholic
tradition, are all marked by appropriate
monuments.

A JOURNALISTIC CATAsTRoPhE.-The Glas-
gov Mail says:
I" An incideut occurred in connection with
the printing of our paper on Monday, which,
we imagine, is unparalleled in the annals of
the press. a cat had ensconced herself in
the large cylinder of the four feeder Hoe
printing machine employed to throw off the
first side of our impression. Before start.
ing machine of this sort there is considera-
be noise and hustle in putting on the forms
of type, etc., and during the first few rev.
olutions are driven very slowly. The cat,
however, remained quite quiet during these
preliminaries, and escaped notice until the
machine was running at full speed, and had
thrown off some 800 copies of the paper
She then apparently thought she had enough
of it, and attempted to spring out of the
cylinder, but, being giddy after her 200 full.
speed revolutions fell underneath it and was
crushed to jelly by the revolving forms,
her head making large dent against one of
the columns, and her flesh, blood and bones
Icing SO evenly distributed over the type
that it was only after great deal of washing
that printing could be resumed. So COM
pletely triturated was the unfortunate
animal, that, as one of the hands expressed
it, nothing was left of her but the skin"

A New CURE FOR CoNsUMPTIoN.-A re.
cent letter from Paris to the New York Eve
ming Post, says:
M. Baleguer addresses communication
to Nj. Plorry, in lie Comriere Medicale, de-
scrlDlng the properties of new oil, that
seems endowed with q marvellous facility
Tor traverslng animal membranes. If few
drops are poured into the palm of the hand,
and the palm rubbed with finger, the oil
is soon seen oozing through the back of the
hand. The same experiment tried on the
forearm produces the same result. When
the oil is saturated by a foreign substance it
loses none of this remarkable power of alb
sorptIon, and can therefore serve as a vehicle
par excellence for the administration of drugs.
The experiment has been tried with copaiba
and with iodine, and with very satisfactory
results. When the oil, saturated with
iodine, was rubbed upon the palm of the
hand, and the back of the hand wiped with
piece OF muslin. the muslin was tinged
violet. NJ. Baleguer believes that the eff.
cacy of iodine, if administered in this oil.
would be so immensely increased that a
rational hope might be entertained of its
power to arrest differentiation in the lungs,
and prevent hemorrhage. Among the pa
tlents upon when he has tried this method,
in the first stages of consumption, he has
found the physical signs of tubercular de-
posits diminish, the respiration become
treer, enadonpoint succeed to emacation, and
a general feeling of well-being to which the
unfortunates had long been unaccustomed,
begin to establish itself.
NJ. Baleguer conceals the name of this
wonderful oil, but he invites NJ Plorry to
experiment upon it, and offers him his as.
slstance in the fnrther elucidation of its
characteristics"

the highest scientific body in England, Mr..
John Bourne, one of the Oldest and most
celebrated English engineers, read paper
upon the navy, in which he demonstrated
that the broadside system of iron-clads was
a failure, and that the American monitor, OF

by the English Admiralty, as combining the
utmost possible concentration of offence and
defence. The paper was elaborately illus

A CENTER SHor.-A good, big, generous
lie, with "nub" to it is not only worth
listening to, but is worth preserving as
among specimens OF the fine arts. The
Winsted Conn., Herald tells the following
jolly whopper:
A chap who was hunting in Canaan, a
short time ago, saw fox on the opposite
side of Blackberry river, and drew a bead on
him. just as he pulled the trigger. pound
trout jumped out of the river, and the ball
put hole through him, and then through
the fox, and then struck bee tree, and out
squirted stream of strained honey as big
as your finger. Wading up the river and
picking up his trout and fox, our Nimrod
hastened to the tree; and, while suddenly
Withdrawing his rammer to plug up the tree

HENRY WARD BEECHER ON FAST HORSES.
Mr.. Beecher descants thus: If a horse
has had swiftness put into him, it is fair to
give him chance to develop his gifts. Of
course there is reason in all things. Even in
trotting, it is easier and pleasanter for some
horses to go twelve miles an hour than for
others to go three. They were made so.-
Does it hurt swallow to go swifter than
the OK? Why not? Because he was made so
1t is easy to do the thing we were made to
do easily. And good horse was made to
go fast. He does it when wild, of his own
accord He does not lose the relish of speed
even when domesticated. Take a fine fed
horse, which in harness looks as if he were
pattern of moderation, very deacon of so
briefly, and turn him loose in PASTURE
Whew, what change! He takes one or
two steps slowly, just to be sure you have
let 90 of him, and then with squeal he
lets fly his heels in the air, till the sun
flashes from his polished shoes then off he
goes, fercer, clear across the lot, till the
fence brings him up. And then, his eye
flashing, his name lifted and swelling, his
tail up like kings sceptre, he snorts
defiance to you from afar and with a series
of Tearings, running sideways and plunging
whiskings and whirls, he starts again, with
immense enjoyment, into another round Of
running. Do you not see it is more than
fun? 1t is ecstacy. 1t is horse rapture!

How RATS STEAL EGGs.-Two gentlemen
of this city, who had occasion to be up at a
late hour, few nights since, witnessed the
ingenious manner in which rats carry off
eggs without breaking them. Eggs had been
frequently missed and the rats had been
credited with the larceny, but no sign that an
egg had been broken was ever left about the
premises, and the parties had often wondered
by what means the rats conveyed their booty
to their holes 1t was done thus One of
the rats clasped an egg tightly between his
fore legs and chin, and then turned himself
on his back, when another rat seized him by
the tail and dragged rat, egg and all away to
his hole. The proceeding was repeated till
eggs enough for hearty meal were stolen
