Paper Houses.

Paper houses are among the latest
novelties in this country. They are
said to be as warm and durable as
houses built in the ordinary way, and
are much cheaper. The frames, doors
and floors are of wood the paper with
which the frame is covered on the out
side is heavy and compact, and made
NJ lore substantial by being covered with
mineral paint or cement. There is an
establishment in Pittsburgh that has a
process for treating paper which makes
it much harder and tougher than
leather, and so elastic as to resist al.
most any blow without perceptible
compression from the effects of the
blow, while it can be worked very easily
and cheaply. A French inventor has a
similar process, and he is now in this
country making arrangements for an
extensive trial Of the material for ship
armor, which has been approved of by
several naval officers who have seen
it, and who express the opinion that
most valuable service may be rendered
by it.

Only One Left-The Compact of Ter
Friends.

Half score Of years ago, Mrs. Bige-
low kept boarding house at % Great
Jones street. Among her boarders were
ten gentlemen who had lived together
many years. The breaking out of the
rebellion changed the current life of
several of the arty, and number ex
pressed their determination to join the
Union ranks. Many were the regrets at
the dissolution of their society, and it
was decided that they should have fare
well dinner on the evening of Sept. 10,
1862. Arrangements were made &C
cordingly, and at o'clock on the even
ing named the ten gentlemen took
their accustomed seats at the table.
Each and every one was then full of life
and hope, and the future prospects of
each were the subject of an animated
conversation.
Before their departure each made a
solemn VOW that if he was living in ten
years hence he would meet the rest of
his companions at s o'clock, in the same
place, and dine with them, as they had
dined that night. Since then the house
has come under the proprietorship of
J. B. Smith. Some days ago Mr.. Smith
was requested by Edward X. Winship,
broker of "a Broad street, to prepare a
dinner for ten gentlemen on the even
ing of Sept, 10, 1872.
At precisely 8 o'clock on Tuesday
evening, Mr.. Winship, the sole survivor
of the party, entered the dining-room,
and the doors were closed behind him.
No one was there save George Bentley
and one or two other walters. The
rooms and tables were arranged pre-
cisely as they were ten years ago, and
Mr.. Winship, with head bowed and with
saddened expression, took the same
seat he had occupied ten years ago. All
around were empty chairs, and empty
plates, and untitled glasses.
The meal was begun, and the solitary
banqueter was served with the prescrib-
ed courses, Mr.. Winship occasionally
passing word with the waiter. Poor
boys They're all gone," said he.
zone went down in the Monitor in Mo-
bile Bay, another was drowned in the
same waters. Two were shot in Mobile.
One lost both legs by ball, and the
other was pierced through the heart.
Another died in Philadelphia, and a
sixth died in New York" He said that
while, in February last, he was walking
up Broadway one evening, he felt tap
on the shoulder, and a voice asked him
whether he knew Mr.. =. 81 do" re-
piled Mr.. Winship. "He died at four
