 school. Mr. Harris re-stated the motion and invited discussion. and 1t is fair to Say he got it. and this is the way it was fired at him: ''Mr. Chairman. wish 10 offer an amendment 10 the-Mr. Chairman; the motion is out of-Mr. Chairman; move that we adjourn-No! No! Yes down in front! Mr. Chair-adjourn-question-Mr -Question-secOnd the-seats reversed will freeze the-Chairman motion to adjourn is always in order, and all in favor will-rr- verse the seats-I haven't much to say about the mat'-sit down then-but hiuk sit down-the blackboards ought to be- down in front-Question, &c., &c," At first, the chairman. Mir. Harrls, attempted to restore order by vigorous pounding on the desk, but finding the din and con fusion so desfening that his substantial raps could not be heard even by himself, he gave up in despair, and after their breath gave out, and he was able to make himself heard. h. modestly said ''he was not very much of parliamentary man," and innocently in- quired ''it some of the nolsiest of the au- 0ience were not little out of order." Al ter the above very intelligent and edifyiug response to his invitation to discuss the gentleman's notions vote was taken, which resulted in large majority in favor of re- versing the general arrangement of seats and stoves; which is expected will be done next Saturday. While subjected to the fire and cross-nre of words As portrayed above, 1t was worth as much as circus to be per- mit:ed to see the countenance of the chair man with ample time to study its every fea- ture as matters progressed, and seemed to grow hotter and hotter. He would ,augh, and then look as though he would ac uAlly cry if it would only do any good, but 1t was of no avail. lie was perfectly pow eSleas.

Some of the most beautiful work in this line we ever beheld is to be found within the building. One old blow. used forty years ago, has placard on it as follows Il used 10 do good work, but Yankee in gsnuity beat me" The old fellow is gen. uine curiosity. The exhibition of blows is very fine one. and any farmer can spend an hour or two very profitably in examin- ing them.
 The Portable Steam Engine, nanufac- fTred by the Buckeye Engine Co.,, Salem, Ohio, is very nice affair and occupies space on the floor of 4x4 feet. The Roper Hot Air, or Caloric Engines attract atten aoa. One of three horse power costs 40 very economical; needs firing but three times day and cannot explode. The Bax ter Portable Steam Engine, built by Colts 1re arms company of Hartford, Conn, are doing good service by driving machinery for the exposition, and almost everyone ad- nires them. It is Q good advertisement for the company. LAx1 SDoRx.

the defense advancing the theory that epilepsy Is
fruitful source of homcIdsl frenzy. and supporting
Mr OConor's hypothesis that the prisoner was M
der the circumstances irresponsible by an aiilrna-

Several witnesses were then called oy
the District-AttOrney in rebuttal, including
the murdered mans publisher and several physicians
who drew widely different nferences from young
Walworth's conduct from those Of Dr. Gray. MT
OConor then summed up for the defense speaking
very rapidly for several honrs, and making an
earnest plea for the parrcides life. The unpleasant
weather prevented the usual large attendance OF
spectators when the Court opened; but toward the
middle of the day the number increased until every
seat was occnpied. The interest that has centered
in the fate of the youthful prisoner since the hTst
day of the trial has not abated IN the least.

To The Editor ef Tho Chicago Trtbuas:
s1n There is good deal OF discussion among
the architects as to the exhibition OF the compo-
tition designs for the Uourt-House. Quito q
numberare Of the opinion that aftor tho decision
is made, they shoul1 DO exhibited for at lcaat
ton days at q charge for admission, In order to
create fund from which to incroaso tho NUM-
bor Of premiums.
There will bo Dfty to sixty acts of pima CUB
1nitted tho average cost Of which will have boon
not leaa than 81 900, md whom We consider
that only threc Of the competitors can, by tho
present arrangement; receive anything for tllelr
outlay and tilne We think the idoa a good Quo,
and Aero seenaa to be no objection to It.
Tho exhibition will be ono that will seldom,
II ever, again occur in tlia city, and will cn,-
bruce tho bost work Of tho first architects and
artsts Of this country, ind soyernl from Europe
and one that no ono having tho slightest protcn-

withBtantling tho truth Of tho proverh, "Iu all

reap tho benefit OF tho competition. Tho oh]oot
to 10 attainod is perfectly Legitimate ono, aud
wo can see no roason why tile amount that would

orcaso the number e premiums in proportion to
