rsrtre, processes ana consequences OF earth
quakes are duly referred. A telegraphic de-
spatch from Jamaica which we published yes
terday, states that Professor Delisser, OF
Kingston, who, it will be remembered by the
readers Of the HERALD, predicted long time
in advance the days on which the earthquakes
would visit ST. Thomas, Chile and Peru, has
also predicted that there will be another
earthquake in California about the 9th or 18th
of December. II this new prediction shall be
verified we shall begin to think that Professor
DeIisser has at length discovered the law Of
earthquakes Unless he has already patented
his discovery and ceded his rights to Mr..
Seward, who may find them convenient in
making new real estate purchases in the West
Indies and the Pacific Ocean, we shall be
glad to publish it for the benefit Of the scien-
tifc world. Perhaps the learned professor
may, by and by, discover the mysterious but
apparently immediate connection existing be-
tween these physical commissions and the
political and religious perturbations which
simultaneously agitate the earth.

improvements OF Wnshinstou-A New Idea
or stnte Boarding Houses for Members
Of Congress.
The Superintendent of Public Buildings at
Washington, in his annual report to Con-
gress, had good many public improve
ments to recommend, including the re-
moval Of the cnuseway part of the Long
Bridge and the substitution Of wooden
piles or arches Of iron, the dredging of the
Potomac in front Of the city, the extension
of the Capitol grounds, general repairing
and resurnishing of the White House for
President Grant, &C., &c. But the Commits
sioner had o new recommendation to make, to
wit:-That each State shall build and furnish
houses in Washington for its Senators and
Representatives. This is brilliant idea, and
is suggestive of many advantages to the men,
bers of Congress of each State and to their
constituents, in their communications with each
other.
But if this project be left to the States
1t will never be carried out A better plan
would probably be to let the general govern
mcnt build grand Congressional hotel near
the Capitol, with all the modern improvements,
including suites of rooms for members with
families on the lower floors and comfortable
arrangements for the bachelor members in the
attic !. and, to make the thing complete, there
should be also connected with the establish
ment Congressional tailor shop, hat shop,
shoe shop and millinery shop. With all the
members OF both houses in one grand estab-
lishmcnt no constituent from any State would
have to hunt over half the city for his par
ticular Senator or Representative and more
over, in being all under the same roof, and
supplied from the hotel with every thing by
contract, The members Of both houses would
at all times be at home and convenient to
each other for purposes OF consultation. Then
with military guard at all the approaches to
the hotel the lobby could be driven off. We
submit to the COMMISSIONER OF Public Build
ings therefore, the plan of a Congressional
hotel in lieu of his plan Of a string of State
boarding houses The hotel might be let by
contract at sliding scale of prices for board
srs, for victuals and drinks their rooms, gas
and fire to be free to the members, the house,
gas aud coal, hats, shoes and clothing COM
plete, from overcoats to necaties, and the
Latest ladies' fashions being supplied by the
government. Is not this a good idea and in
keeping with the general progress OF the
age2
