THE CANAL AQUEDUCT. The condition Of
the Alexandra Canal Aqueduct affects the
spirits of some people in Georgetown as the
heat does the thermometer. They Shrek with
wild delight at the mention of any injury to
that structure, but moan bitterly when its effec-
tive permanence is announced e. g., the; fol-
lowing from the Georgetown correspondent of
the Washington Union -. ' E<3 I'LL. :
,..sDULL. The canal this side the aqueduct
continues quiet, the majority Of coal laden YES
sells going to Alexandra. This structure in
stead of a blessing, is gnawiDg at the very vi,
tails Of the prosperity of our town, and instead
of the busy hum of the coal HEAVIER and the
jolly song Of the sailor, on the river front, all
is still as death, coal yards being deserted and
the river barren of vessels" u a-&,-~ .19T

A STAINLESS HoUsE.-There is
now building in a business quarter of
Paris an experimental house, which
if successful-and there seems to be
no reason why it should not be 40
will serve as a model for similar
structures in other great cities, where
the value of land is very high and
tho economy Of space of vital impor-
tancc. Tho chief novelty in this
house is tho absence of any staircase,
tho place of that hitherto necessary
means of access being supplied by
hydraulic elevator, ascending and
dcccnding noiselcssly every minute.
BY means Of this the dodgers will
reach their respective floors speedily
and without effort at any given min
ute of the day or night. Another
advantage of this arrangement is
that it enables houses to be built to a
much greater height, the upper floor
being US easily accessible as the low
er, and for that matter preferable, OH
account of better air, light and free
dom from intrusion or the noise of
the street. Tho toncme houses in
Paris will be II stories high from
the street level.
