A MODEL STABLE.-The new boarding stable
kept by Mr. Henry w. Nutting, on Waldo
street, is in every way a model establishment,
and well worthy of thorough examination by
any who intend to build, or feel interested in
such matters Indeed, if all city stables were
constructed with the same thoroughness, care
for ncatuess and convenience, much that is now
offensive would be entirely done away with.
This building, upon which the carpenters have
beeu at work since the first OF April, has ac-
combinations for fifty horses, there being at
nresent over thirty there, and yet the en-
tire building is as neat as though used
only for carriage repository. The horses
sire all on the second floor, reached by stair
ease of gradual slope covered with tan, up and
10 ,yn which the horses walk with as much ease
~ man. Pipes in the floor, which is made
,;,h. md firm with tar, and of heavy kiln dried
,le,nor carry all of the liquid away as COM
,,o,olv nc q water closet, directly to the sewer;
In ,be dry accumulation goes to a vault in
tho cellar tbrou .Tb wooden spouts. The first
aoor is occupied by theearriages and The pleas
ant office with call bells and speaking tubes
communicating with the seco2d floor and the har-
ness room, which is in the third story. Inc
new and very desirable plan upon winch the
stable is built calls for this special mention,
and visit to the premises would prove inter-
esting to any owne: of a horse.

A charming anecdote, worthy of the ancient
days of chivalry, is being whispered about
among the higher circles in London. II seems
that one of our young Catholic heroes of high
life, always great admirer of the Empress Eu-
genie, paid visit to Chiselhurst last week, pre-
vious to his departure for Paris. "What can
bring your majesty from Babylon '-the name
by which the doomed city is always designated
now by the ultramontane party-said the young
nobleman, as he bent low over her majesty's
fair hand. Morning" replied the empress,
sadly; then, suddenly correcting her speech
said, quietly, eyes, there is one thing | should
love. Bring me a rose from the garden of the
IuileriesF The young man promised to execute
TINS apparently easy commission, and departed
in sadness. On Friday he reappeared at Chisel-
hurst with case of purple morocco in his
hand, which he reverently presented on Bonded
Knee to the empress. 1t was the golden rose
gift of the pope to her majesty, that he had
brought from the Tuileres." How he had OBJ
tanned it, or through what long course of adj
venture he had traced it to the party willing to
part with it, will never be known, nor yet at
what sacrifice it was obtained But great was
the JOY of the illuStrious lady on beholding It,
and pardonable the feeling which induces her to
hope that it will bring a blessing to last to her
house and stay the wrath of heaven. 1t has al
ways formed part of the altar decorations of the
chapel at the Tuileries.-LOadOn Court Jour

beast perishing in the flames; three carriages,
two seighs, and one or two hogs were also

about $500. Mr.. Thayer's loss was
about $1,000. When discovered the building
was all ablaze, and it was impossible for any
one to open either of the doors, 1t was totally
consumed, owing to the dryness and combusti-
BILE nature of the frame and contents, although
the steamers and hose carriages were on the
spot with creditabe promptness, and worked
lively. By their means the buildings near at
hand on the south side of the burning barn
were saved. Neither the building nor contents
were insured.
