Knox's Now Brick Range-We!l-Ar-
......... ranged Dwelling.
We had the pleasure a few days
since of inspecting the new brick
range which Mr.. John Knox, one
of our most enterprising merchants,
is erecting upon the McLaren lot
of the burnt district, and which will
now be soon completed. The build
ing is one Of the most handsome
and commodious in our town, and
whilst it reflects credit upon the
public spirit of the proprietor, is an
ornament to our public square.
In the first story are two large
stores, separated by massive fire
proof walls, whilst spacious stair
way from the front leads to large
public hall and tenement rooms
above. The corner store below IS
one hundred and fifteen feet IN
length by twenty-five feet in width,
ard is we'll ventilated and well
lighted by large windows in front
and on the side; the windows in
front to have the beautiful panes Of
the large French glass. The store
is to be occupied as agrocery store
by Mr.. Knox, and in the rear on
the street is a wide door for the re-
ception and delivery Of heavy
freight. In the basement Of this
building, with an entrance from
the rear, is we'll lighted and we'll
ventilated apartment designed, we
believe, for a bar-room and ten-pin
alley.
The store next adjoining the cor
ner store is some cighty-seven feet
in length by some twenty feet in
and will be occupied by Mr..
Rosenberg, (who for short time
during the past year did business
at the Dendy corner,) with an as
sorted stock. Like the other, the
stand is a very excellent one.
Ascending the stairway, we have
the commodious public hall, on the
right, directly above the second
store. This will accommodate COM
fortably as large an audience as the
town can often. afford, and will
supply a very great desiaeutAm.
On the left Of the hall is the en-
trance to the tenement rooms above
the first store. Upon the street at
the corner is a well lighted parlor,
with some eight rooms extending
to the rear-seveu with tirc-places,
to be used as bedrooms, and the
eighth with q stovo, to be used as a
kitchcn-whilst along the whole
length of these rooms is a spacious
passage, a portion of which is to be.
used as dining room. IA stair.
way at the back leads to a fine we'll
of water, its depth being some
sixty feet. The brick work has
been done by Mr.. Jeptha Wilson,
and the wood WORK by Seal, Sign
& Robertson, and we need not say
that they have boen we'll done.
We hail the erection of this build
ing as another step in the path of
progress-a hopeful indication Of
our tuture-and trust that the en-
terprise OF the proprietor will meet
with wcll-merited pccuniary sue
cess. .r
We also had the pleasure of in
specting the new brick residence of
Mr.. Knox, which is very tasteful in
appearance, and nicely arranged
for comfort and convenience. 1t
has some six rooms, all we'll venti-
lated and well lighted, and has a
good well of water under the roof
of the house.

An Arab Tradition.

A writer in the Overland Monthly re-
lates the following: " This tradition which
I tell YOU" said Refs Hassan, "ls many
centuries old. 1t states there was in
Paradise temple built up Of precious
stones Man dare not utter its splendors.
Deep in tho midst Of Eden it stood, angel
built-a dazzling sanctuary. Our parents
sang their vesper songs in the twilight
shadows of it's courts: for there were
pillared halls and cloisters of emerald
and pearl, whore fountains sprang aloft in
the silent noon and long, luminous vistas,
where, hand in hand, these two lovers
walked in sinless beauty. Then there
were "pinnacles and domes of sapphire,
blazing in the sunlight by day, and glitter
ing in the starlight by night. From court
and terrace, waters welled out, and the
iris.crested cascades fell down in cool
shady dells Of asplodel below; for the
temple was placed far within the privacies
of that valley of Eden whence the four
rivers flowed eastward. However, sad to
relate, upon the day Adam fell, this
glorious temple was scattered into q
million of fra ments, and sown broadcast
over the earth. These fragments we now
light upon, and gather up with csst and
care. and call them rubles, emeralds,
sapphires, and diamonds; but they are,
after all, only that primeval place. The
sunset spleDdors and the diadems Of
Princes, the milky way in the heavens,
and the spray that sparkles In the entangle'
ments of u maiden's hair, are alike but the
costly dust of that lost sanctuary,-the sad
1emembrances of q departed Eden"

Triplet Happiness.

In Scituate, in this State, there dwslls .
family OF triplets who recently celebrated
their seventy-seventh birthday. They
have always lived in their native place,
and are the happy fathers of large and
vigorous families. The brethren have
dwelt in harmony ever since their infancy
and the void has proapsred with them.
Happy triplets, who never had an elder
brother to "boss it." over them Who
could, from childhood earliest hour, wear
each others boots and clothing; whose
boards all came at the same time, and
who were never obliged to stay at home
and mind the house because any one 81
them was the youngest. There wero no
pangs Of envy in the ternary BOSOM
caused by seeing ono Of the family induct.
ed into jackets and pantaloons while the
others had to remain in bibs and frocks
One could not taunt the other because biz
face did not call for the use of the razor
They evidently oil wore the knees Of thei,
trowsers out Ut the same time, ~ that new
clothing appeared simultaneously upon
the backs Of all three. This is q very
happy state Of affairs to reflect upon, and
almost makes one yearn to DO triplet. L
certainly has its disad vantages, becaus;
one cannot have big brother to fall bacl
upon in great emergencies Of a pugiIisti'
nature; but this is fully counterbalance,
by the other peculiarities of the situation
1t is melancholy to learn that there arc n,

A Royal Foundry.

A Cleveland lady, travelling in Eu-
rope, writes as follows to the Cleveland
Leader, concerning a visit to the Royal
foundry at Munich:
1--WE went to the Royal foundry at
Munich, where all, or most of our best
statues in bronze have been cast. Here
we saw the models of everything which
has been sent to America, and many
which are being made to send. Among
the latter are two soldiers monu-
ments,' one for Michigan and one
for Massachusetts, both of which are
very fine. We saw the whole pro-
cess of taking the cast from the
model or rather manner of doing it.
Also the place where the molten metal
is run into the form. I am not sur
prised that bronzed monuments and
statuary should cost so much. It is
a tedious operation from first to last.
We saw the model of our beautiful
bronze doors in the Capitol at Wash
made we vent to see the largest bronze
statue in the world Bavaria, placed
Just out of the city in public ground.
It stands upon a granite pedestal thirty
feet high, the statue itself being sixty
six feet in height. Seventy
eight tons of metal were used
in the casting of it, consisting en-
tirely of cannon captured in war. most
ly from the Turks at the battle of No.
varino. A st lircase within the figure
leads to the head, where eight persons
can comfortably sit at the same time.
The cost of the statue alone was ninety
seven thousand dollars. For this, and
almost all the works of art and places
of attraction, Munich is indebted t
Ludwig I:-the old Louis, who wa.
captivated by Lolo Montez."

A MOnstrOuS Blunder.

A comical story comes from Paris,
the authority being a correspondent
of the Pail Mall Gazette. The Shah of
Persia, when in Paris, went to the
Jardin des Plantes, and was very much
pleased with what he saw there, and
with the courtesy of the Directors so
much so, indeed, that he made notes of
the names of the men of science, with
the view of Remembering them, in
the sense in which people who hope to
get something ask to be remember.
ed" The other day His Maiesty's
compliments arrived, in the shape of
"ions," and 'tsuns," and other Tor
ders," which count for a good deal in
Persia. Unhappily, the Persian mon
arch somewhat dashed the pleasure OF
the decorated men of science" by an
