An EDITORIAL PALACE.

A few days ago We were shown through

editor OF the Davenport Democrat. Situated
on the DExocRAr FARM, at East Daven-
BORT, and commanding q magnificent view

ready for occupancy only month ago.
The plans are alike original and IN
rivallsd. System, order, convenience, ele-
gsnce, comfort, and capacity have each
been fully consulted. The finish and style
Of the structure is unsurpassed. Every
apartment Was designed for 9 particular
purpose, and laid off accordingly. The
furnishings and equipments of the interior
correspond with the prepossessing air Of the
exterior. Nothing is gaudy, but everything
10 substantial, attractive, and fashionable.
All the windows are set with plate glrss; a
heating apparatus exteu de to every room;
bath rooms are on every floor; spacious
halls and vide stAirways give an impress
sion Of grandeur on entrance; and notwi'h
standing the regardless Of cost" appear
apce Of everything, there is an atmosphere
home prevailing above it oil that cannot b
mistaken. Many New York merchant
would be proud to have so delightful
. country seat. Mr.. Richardson has been 4

each fined three dollars and costs. Az thew
