Jerome Honaparte,s New House.

There seems to be no halt to the steady
strides of improvement in the city. The proposed
winter residence of Jerome BOnaparte promises to
take front rank with the higher order of dwell
ings which have made the northwestern portion of
the city proverbial for the elegance of its archi-
lecture. The building is to be located On the
north side Of street, between Sixteenth and Sew
enteenth streets, and the work of construction
will commence in few days and be pushed to
completion as rapidly as practicable. Its general
appearance will be plain, but rich and graceful
outlines and details will characterize the structure
throughout. Hand made brick, brown mortar
and brownstone trimmings are the materials
which will be used on the exterior. The house
will have frontage of forty-five feet and depth
of sixtytwo feet. The elevation will consist of an
English basement, two stories, and gothic roof An
attractive feature of the exterior will be maruue
projecting over the main entrance sufficient dis
lance to afford shelter for carriages. A spacious
hallway leads from the entrance to grand central
hall, finished in hard wood and encaustic tiles A
magnificent staircase, composed of oak and
wrought iron, asceRds to the upper stories in
unique and original style. The stable viii be stu
aed at the rear of the lot, in which quarters for
numerous retainers will be located. The ground
floor will be divided into stalls, feed bins, &C.
Both the dwelling and stable will be modelled q Ia

SELECTING SCHOOL SITES.
Action Taken by the Board of school
Trustees at Their Special Meeting

A special meeting Of the school board
was held last evening for the consideration of a
report from the committee on buildings and re-
pairs relative to sites for two proposed new school
buildings in the second division and plan for the
high school TO be erected on street, near Sew
enth. Three recommendations were made for
site, the first street. between Fourth and Fifth
streets northwest, on the Donohue property front
ing $50 feet on and Washington streets respec-
lively; the second for sites at the eastern and
western extremes of the division, the first at the
corner OF First street and Massachusetts avenue
and the other at the southeast corner of Tenth and
streets northwest; the third recommendation
favored the First street lot and another
on Third street. near K. The recon-
mendations were approved by the board and
forwarded to the District Commissioners for
choice in the matter The board also approved a
recommendation of the same committee locating
a new school building at Tenallytown, and au-
thorizing an addition to the present
building at Mount Pleasant Two plans were
submitted by the committee for the high
school building-one by Architect Clark
and the other prepared under the supervision of
MeSsrs. Curtis and Dodge. The plan of Mr. Clark
was not satisfactory to the committee, and they
had, after consultation with that gentleman, pro-
cured another one, containing their suggestions

THE SUNDAY QUESTION.
The COnstItufionaIity of the Alexandria
Law to be Tesfed.

The recent Sunday law passed by the
councils of Alexandria, Va, which is exceedingly
obnoxious to the citizens of that ancient burgh,
and which has attracted considerable attention
the past few days, will in all probability receive
its quietus on Thursday next by decision of the
court, the case being taken there by our neighbor
the Sunday Herald. the facts in the case are as
follows: THE Herald determined that its Alex
andria readers should have their paper, and to
this end published a notice on Saturday in the
Alexandria Gazette stating that their subscribers
could obtain the same by applying at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Harry Foltz, On Royal street. The
consequence of this that SIr. Fotz, who is
foreman of the Herald, was arrested on Mon
day for having violated the Sunday law
and his case set up for hearing
before Mayor Smith yesterday morning. Messrs.
Kent and Brent appeared for Mr.. Foltz. and
showed to any candid mind that the law had not
been offended against in this case, as Mr. Foltz was
merely performing an act of courtesy. 1t was
evident, however. that Mayor Smith had decided
the case before he heard it, and ne imposed fire
Mr.. Foltz refused to pay the fine, and then was
committed. writ of hdbeds corpus was immedi-
ately sworn out. and hearing of thes same fixed by
the court for Thursday morning next, when the
constitutionality of this law will be tested.
