Chancellor COoper,s New Residence

The residence of Chancellor Cooper on
Cedar street, i'll front of the State capitol is
nearly completed. The building is evil
IDENTIFY first class in every particular. The
architecture is Roman. The first thing that
presents itself to the eye is the tower in
front, surmOunted by a magnificent man
sard, pierced with four handsomely finished
dorman windows. There is an ornamental
slate roof, chimney caps and truncated
gables, all in harmony with the general
architecture of the house. Around the
building is 4 heavy bracketed galvanized
iron cOrnice, giving it finished appearance
from every point ofthe compass. The polish
ed French pate glass is also afeature of ele-
gance.
The builders are as follows: John VIII
liaIns, excavation and foundation; TAYLOR
x Harrison, brick work: Swan ~ Brown,
c!It stone work and trimmings; Phillips &
Buttorff, galvanized iron and tin work;
Wn. Thomas, slate roofing; Tanksley &
Brothers, the plastering; Mr.. Henderson,
plumbing. John Lewis is the architect.
and did the carpenters work; c. 3. Evans
g. Co., Cincinnati, furnished the marble
nantes; Mcclure, Buck & Co., the hot air
furnaces, and Barthell q Joseph are now
doing the painting. Mock & Sleiger did
the frescoing. j. y. DeHart, W. r. Nc
Farland and Sutherland & Co, furnished
the carpenters nateriais-the latter fur
nishing the greater portion.
All the windows Of the house have inside
shutters of white pine and black walnut,
and the doors oft he same material. There
will certainly be many such buildings in a
wear or so in front of the capitol, as the
grounds of the State building, when COM
pleted, will be the handSomest We know Of.

Character of Gen. Lee.

In his late speech delivered at Atlanta,
Gen. b. Z. Hill pays this deserved tribute
TO the character of Robt. i. Lee:
"When the future historian comes TO sur
vey The character of Lee. he will find it
rising like huge mountain above the undII-
lating plain of humanity, and he will have
TO lift his eyes high towards heaven to catch
its summit. He possessed every virtue of
the other great commanders without their
vices. He was foe without hate; friend
without treachery; soldier without cru
city, and a victim without murmuring. He
was public officer without vices; private
citizen without wrong; a Christian without
hypocrisy, and q man without guilt He
was Caesar without his ambition; Frederick
without his tyranny; Napoleon without his
SelliShneSS, and WashintOn without his re-
ward. He was obedient TO authority as a
servant, and royal in authority as q true
King. lie was gentle as woman in life;
modest and pure as virgin in thought;
watchful as a ROmanIvestal in duty; sub
missiye to Law as Socrates and grand in
battle as Achilles"

not open. About three or four ladies are

concerning De Friel, the individual whom

'1gnatius Baptlste De Friel was his

as a tailor for Messrs. Cuquil & Pillet, Of
this city. He first came into public notice
by having his name recorded as one of the
principals in rough and tumble encounter
with Detective Bauer, near Knoxville, in
November last. Being very badly Worsted
he forwarded Bauer challenge, but, pom
dering the matter over, he deemed dis
cretion the better part of valor, and before
Mr.. Bauer could see him, left the city.

A TRANSACTION IN POULTRY.
Alexander Spence might have been seen
fitting here and there in the markethouse
of this city yesterday morning. On either
side were long tables loaded with provisions
of all kinds, temptingly arrayed, and many
efforts were made by the market men TO
secure Mr.. Spences' custom. But the lat
ter knew what he wanted, though he had
been drinking 50 much that everything
about him seemed TO be on the whirl
Finally he leaned against lamp post and
waited for poultry dealers stall to come
around, and when it did, told the proprie-
tor that he wanted tender, acknowledged
chicken. A bargain was soon struck, and
Mr.. Spence started homewards with his
purchase under his arm. Arriving at that
! blissful abode, Mrs. Spence diseosered
| that the chicken was old enough TO have
"reminiscences and that an immense
outlay for fuel would be required to make
it catable. Then Spence journeyed back to
the markethouse (utilizing the entire width
of the payement) and demanded OF the ras-
cally dealer in fowls that he take the
chicken back and refund the money, and
failing in this object, he begged him to step
outside for a moment that he might punch
his head. A policeman overheard the
rumpus, and the pleasant hours of TO day
viii be spent by Mr.. Spence in the quiet
seclUsion Of his own private apartment at
the city wOrkhouse.
MJLLY FISHER
explained that she didn't use offensive lam
guage until she had tried reason, utterly
falling, however, to carry her point b. mild
measures. She was presented with ticket
of admission TO the WorkhOuse.

OLDEST TIMBER IN THE WORLD.

Probably the oldest timber in the world
which has been subjected to the use Of man
is that which is found in the ancient tenn
pies of Egypt. 1t is found in connection
with stone work which is known to be at
least four thousand years old. This wood,
and the only wood used in the construction
Of the temple, is in theform of ties, holding
the end of one stone to another in its upper
surface. When two blocks were laid in
place, then it appears that an excavation
about an inch deep was made in each block,
into which an hour-glass shaped tie was
diven. 1t is therefore very difficult to force
any stone from its position. The ties aP-
pear to have been the tamarisk or shittim
wood, of which the ark was constructed, a
sacred tree in ancient Egypt, and now very
rarely found in the valley of the Nile.
Those dOvetailed ties are just as sound now
as on the day of their insertion. Although
fuel is extremely scarce in that country,
those bits of wood are not large enough to
make it an object with the Arabs to heave
off LAYER with after layer of heavy stone for
so small prize. Had they been of bronze
half of the old temples would have been de-
stroyed years ago, so precious would they
have been for various purposes.
