ARCHITECTURE.
ROCHESTER CITY SAVINGS BANK.


ROCHESTER, CITY SAVINGS BANK.
Mr. II. K. SearIe, the accomplished architect
who designed and erected the new NATIONAL Re-
PUBLICAN building, has just completed design
for the Rochester City savings bank Of Rochester,
N. Y. 1t is a pleasure to know that this meri
tOriOus artist is still appreciated, and that his
fame is cherished among the friends of his youth.
Some years since, in connection with his father,
Mr.. Searle, who was at that time a resident Of
Rochester, made the designs and superintended
the erection Of the structure now occupied by the
same bank. 1t is a substantial ediiice Of two
stories, after the pure Greci0n style Of archtec-
ture. But, as the city has rapidly increased its
population, and modern buildings Of greater
height have been reared in its vicinity, somewhat
OyeTshadOWing the banking house, Mr.. Searle has
been applied to by the president, Mr.. George
T. MumfOrd, for 0 design Of az Improvement
which will mOdeTniZe the appearance OF the struc-
Ture, and at the same time preserve the purity Of
its style. This has been most happily accom-
plished by the proposed addition Of third story,
tWenty-siX feet in height, Of brOnZed iron, sur
mounted by plain slate roof, with an ornament
ed cap square cupolR for an outlook or Obserya-
tory, which will make the entire structure up
ward Of eighty feet in height from the street. Tho
whole forms a beautiful edifice of modern appear
that will rival, If it does not suTpass, in ele
gance the numerous handsome buildings for
which Rochester is becoming noted, while the
design reflects new and additional lUstIe Ipol tn
fame of q " Washington architect.

DIR. PURVIS CHARGED WITH PERJURY
BY GEO. W. HARVEY.
A warrant was sworn out in the Police Court
yesterday, by George W. Harvey, charging DR..
Charles B. Purvis with having committed per-
jury in his testimony at the recent trial of Harvey
X Holden for an infringement Of the civil rights
law Of the District. The hearing will take place
to-day before Judge Smell. MIR. Purvis has re-
tanned Gen. Birney as counsel
The information sets forth that in the Police
Court, before Judge VIM. b. Smell, George W.
Harvey and Thomas Holden were tried on the
18th Of September, 1874, on an information under
oath, ten and there pending against them,
wherein they were charged with refusing, on the
sd of September, 1874, to accommodate In their
restaurant certain Well-behaved and respectable
persons, namely: Charles b. Purvis and John NJ.
IangstOn, although then and there requested by
said persons to accommodate them with a lunch;
and at the said trial O. b. PurVis appeared as
witness Ier and in behalf of the District of Column
bia, and took his oath before one Luther g. DaW-
son, the clerk Of the court, on the holy Evangely
Of Almighty God to speak the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth concerning the
matter then and there depending; Whereupon
il then and there became material inquiry on
the trial whether or not the said Harvey &
ston at the same prices as other well-behayed
and respectable persons were served; and the
said Charles b. Purvis, wickedly continuing and
intending to cause the said Harvey Holden un-
justly to be convicted Of said misdemeanOr did
then and there, knowingly, falsely, cOrruptly,
Willfully and Wickedly say, depose and give in
evidence, before the court as aforesaid, that
Myers did not say that he myers would
serve him (Puryis,) but not at that table; and
that he (PurYis) was positive that nothing
was said about not serving him (PurYis) at
that table, and that he (Purvis) did not reply
to said Myers that If he (PurVisl could not be
served at that table he would not be served
at all and that said Myers did not offer to
serve him (Purvis) and flat he (PuIyis) as
he turned TO go away, and whilst walking away
heard something said about not serving him at
that table, but he made no reply, and that he
made no reply; and that he was positive that he
did not say that If he would not be served at that
table he would not be served at all; whereas in
truth and in fact the said Myers did say to said
Purvis that he (Myers) would serve him, (Purvis }
but not at that table; that the said Purvis did
reply that II he could not be served there he
would not be served at ALL and as he turned to
go away did say to some one that If he could not
be served at that table he would not be served at
all; whereas in truth said Myers did offer to serve

4 SPELLING LESSON FOR SCHOOL
CHILDREN
The most skillful gauger 1 ever knew was
maligned cobbler, armed with Poinsrd and
ferule, who drove a pedler's wagon, using a
mullein-stalk as an instrument Of coercion, to
tyranniZe over his pony shod with ealks. He
was Galilean Sadducee and he had phthisicky
catarrh, diptheria, and the bilious intermittent
erysipelas. A certain sibyl, with the sobriquet
of "Gypsy," went into ecstasies Of exclamation
at seeing him measure out a bushel Of peas, taking
up two peas at time, and try to separate sac
eharine tomatoes from q heap Of peeled potatoes,
without dyeing or smuggling the ignitible queue
which he wore, or becoming parslyZed with
hemorrhage. Lifting her eyes to the ceiling of
the cupola Of the Capitol to conceal her unpar-
alleled embarrassment, making an awkward
courtesy, and not harassing him with mystifying,
rarefying and Supplying innuendOes, she gave
him q conch, bouquet of lilies, mignOnnette and
fuehsias, treatise on mnemonics, copy Of the
Apoerypha in hieroglyphics, daguerrotypes OF
MendelssOhn and KOsciusko, q kaleidoscope,
dram phial of ipecaeuanha, tea-spoonful Of
naphtha, for deleble purposes, ferrule for a
cane, q clarionet, some licOrice, q surcingle,
carnelian Of symmetrical proportions, chrO-
nometer with a movable balanee-wheel, box Of
dominoes, and a cateehism. The gauger, who
was also o trafficking reotiher and q parishiOner
Of mine, preferring a Wollen surtOut, this choice
was referable to Facilitating, OecasiOnallyOccur-
ring idiosyncrasy) WOfully uttered this apothegm:
"Life is checkered: but schism, apOstasy, heresy
and villainy shall be punished" The sibyl apollo
giEingly answered: "There 10 q ratable and
allegeable difference between comfortable clip
sis and o trisyIlabic dieresis." We replied in
troehees, not impugning her suspicion, nor
haranguing the audience. Thus ''Gypsy" re-
manned in the ascendant. Her ascendeney can
never again be queried by any Iqueasy vulgar

SOUR STOMACH.

If the food taken into the stomach is not d.
gested it deeompOses. In the latter case pun
gent gas is developed which causes sour erueta-
TONS or else the stomach itself secrets an acid,
which rising upward at intervals, stings the gull
let sharply. These extremely disagreeable SEN
Stations are attributable to impaired digestion. To
get rid of them, or prevent their recurrence, it
Is only necessary to tone and regulate the gas
trio organs with HOstetter's Bitters. 1t will not
answer to postpone the great corrective with the
idea that the unpleasant symptoms will disap-
pear of themselves. SO far from that being the
case, they almost invariably eliminate, If ne
elected, in chronic dyspepsia, with its eoncomi-
tants Of gnawtng in the stomach, dizziness, per-
Verted vision, headache and sleeplessness. 1t is
true that all these disagreeables may be Obviated
by course Of the Bitters; but how much wiser TO
anticipate their arrival with one or two doses Of
that sure preventive Of indigestion

TILTLVG FOR 4 BUGGY.
THE TOURNAMENT AT THE NATIONAL


COURSE.
Considerable interest has been manifested Tor
the past week by the young men who have figured
in the tournaments around Washington during
the summer, many Of whom have gained repu-
tatiop for superior riding. to who would be the
fortunate winner OF the PRICE, fine nO-top buggy,
offered for the successful knight in a tOurns-
meut to take place at the National course, the
mile track across the Eastern branch and short
distance beyond the Insane asylum. Such a
tempting offer had the effect Of arousing the
spirits of many gentlemen who have during the
year retired from the fitting arena, but desiring
to possess the handsome vehicle they resolved to
re-enter the list and contend for it. The reap
pearanee Of some Of the former riders participat
ing In the recent tits can thus be accounted for,
as they wished to receive the benefit Of some prac
tice and put themselves in condition for the i'm
at $500 entirely new and weighs about $50 pounds,
and was nut up to be ridden for by Mr.. A. ho1att,
No finer day for the sport could have been wished,
ming Of the contest, there was fully 300 persons
present to witness and enjoy 1t. This number was
considerably increased ere the riding was over.
The track was in fine condition and everything
so we'll arranged that the spectators could obtain
a view from almost any point
Some little time was consumed in the selection
Of judges, but finally the following gentlemen
were selected to act in that capacity: Colonel G.
Al. Alexander, Mr.. p. H. Hill, NJ. H. Fry, J. F.
Young and DR.. John II. Bayne.
1t required some time to complete the list Of
knights participating, allow them to secure the
height they desired the ring suspended and order
in which they were to ride, which was accom-
plished after some trivial delays, and then the
fun commenced. Much interest was shown inthe
riders, some having more friends than others on
the ground, but there was none standing alone
and having no one to wish him success. As the
fitting progressed the prospects Of victory mar
roWed down between a few; so in proportion did
the excitement increase, and it became disputed
question as 10 who would be the lucky knight,
which was finally settled in favor of 7. II. Jack
