BARON ROTHcHILDs AND THE POLIsn
JEw.-Rothschil said that no one bored
him in Paris moro persistently than the
Polish Jews. Of whom there are great
many in the French capital, and he had
given orders to his servants to admit them
only in exceptional cases. One morning
the footman announced to tho old nabob
that Polish Jew wished to see him.
"Send him away!" cried the Baron. "He
gave mo this card" said the footman.
The Baron looked at the card and read on
it, &c. NJ. X. j." These mysterious lot.
ters puzzled him, and he said, Show him

Of the lower class, came 10. "What do

tho jew, "They mean something else bc.

also, Give Me, Rothschild james" We'll,

Rothschild. "It is" replied the Jew,

THE COLOSSEUM.
The structure in which this grand as
scmbly Of musicians, singers. and spccta-
tors is to be gathered must of course be OF
immense proportions. The plan has al
ready been prepared by Mr.. i. Allen,
architect. 1t is admirable in conception
and in the arrangement of details, and is
finely executed. The building will be
500 feet long, 300 feet wide. no feet high
at the caves. The seats will slope gradu-
ally from near the caves to the floor Of the
paruuette This incline entirely around
the structure will be divided into the par.
qucttc, circle. and balcony, and will be con-
structcl in gradually descending steps.
On the side the lower steps will be e!cva-
ted ten feet above the floor OF the parquctte
resembling in that respect the first balcony
Of theatre. Upon the ends, however,
there is a continuance Of the inclined plane
to the floor Of the rarYnctte. The build
ing will be entered from all points Of the
compass. and there are entrances upon each
side and end. making twelve in all. In
addition to this, stair-cascs are to be placed
at three windows upon each side during
the performances Two OF the entrances
upon each side will lead directly up Il iii ght
Of steps to the upper row of seats. Or rath-
or to Il promenade ten feet wide which
will extend entirely around the building
max linz walk of 1890 feet in leuyth
From this there are to be broad aislcs
through which people can pass easily to
and from their seats.
The decoration of the building in the
interior will be elaborate and extensive
particular attention being paid to each
State. Comfort, strength and capacity
have been the ,n,idcratons looked to in the
plan of the building. Over 5000, ,00J feet
of lumber will be ercqnircl for its construc-
tom The Common has been suggested as
the most appropriate site for the building.
