Not a single building that stood ia the coarse of

Whereas, there has been and is almost an entire
failure BY laws and municipal enactments to diminish

! SYMPTOMS OF RELAxATIoN.-Ths Spartan frmness
with which the Representatives, ia the beginning of
the Session, refused to allow themselves newspapers
on account of the expense, or to have bills printed
for information, is beginning to relax. Quite a num-
Der of bills have been ordered printed of late, and
this week a resolution was passed,-actually without
q word of protest from the economists -instructing
the Sergeant at Arms TO provide ice for the water
pitchers !! One remembers the jolly times of 20 and
'72, and wonders if lunches and carriage rides are
among the possibilities before the close of the Session.
