A Modern New York House.

THE painful regularity Of the brown
stone fronts in the side streets of New
York has frequently been commented
on. OF late better style of architecture
has become fashionable, and, although
several new atrocities are being perpe-
trated in the upper part of the city, still
there is an evident desire for architec-
tural and decorative improvement. West
Hfty-seventh Street Is a remarkable in
stance of this tendency, and the archi-
tectural style of the houses in that street
can not fail 10 attract the attention of the
passer-by. In the front of one house
which has been recently finished, carved
bricks have been introduced. The style
of the house, which is Lombardic, some-
what freely treated, is fashionable in the
north of Italy. The basement story,
faced with stone, is surmounted by a
triangular bay window. The entrance
steps are inelosed by high balustrade,
finished at the top with a parapet and
stone newels. Here the visitor is
charmed by the wide side and upper
lights of orystalized glass surrounding
the Oaken door, which, opening, dis
closes not o vestibule, but an outer
room. A tiled floor of different colored
marbles, arranged so as to conform with
the constructive features of the walls,
meets the eye. In recess a wide mir
ror is set back, reaching from the ceiling
to the long, low shelves of ash, which,
adorned with Japanese vases and um-
brella'holderB, form a repository for bats

The New York Herald independent
says: 'The Republican party possesses
the great prestige of conducting the
national government safely through the
desperate struggle for existance, and
cannot be robbed of it by any statistics
of how many loyal Democrats fought in
the union armies. The proportion of
ancient rebels who are Democrats to
those who are Republicans is at least ten
to one. Every state which seeded and
rebelled in 1860 and 1861 is securely a
Democratic state i'm 1880 by the votes of
men who twenty years ago were seces-
siOnists and traitors. 1t is vain for DEM
Ocrats to wink these facts out of sight.
The solid south, then. becomes greviOus
misfortune instead of a help to DEM
Ocratic fortunes. 1t prOvOkes a solid
north to OverpOwer it by votes as once it
did by amrs."

THE CHINESE CLAIM TO
NJ A c. A 0. q5tfat J,

The news that China is likely to
claim Macao from Portugal has pro-
duced no little commotion at Lisbon.
Deputy Arrobas put a question to the
Government in connection with. the
subject, and Senior Braamcamp, Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs and President
of the Council of Ministers, said that
the Government had received no
information on the subject; and,
moreover, that the statement vas in
contradiction with the good relations
existing between Portugal and tho
Celestial Empire. The Diario da
Mouha however, says:-"W are
assured that news has arrived hero
confirming the telegram of the Pail
Mall Gazette. China claims Macao.
Governor Graea, on taking posses
sion of his post, informed the authori-
ties of Pekin of his intention to go
there to negotiate a treaty. The IL
thorities of Pekin, instead of replying,
sent instructions to the Viccroy OF
Canton ordering him to take posses
sion of Macao. The Viceroy went to
Macao, as is known, and sent back
word to Pekin that he had taken pos
session of the city without resistance;
that the Governor came on board loren
der obedience, promising the future
payment of tribute on the part of
Macao, and that he, (the Viceroy),
through mere compassion, had per-
mitted the Governor to go his way
in peace, and allowed the Portuguese
to reside in that territory. 1t is stated
that the Government is aware of this
fact" The King of Siam, co-operat-
ing with Russia, promises to give
active support to- Portugal in the
event of the Macao quarrel bringing
