All visitors are expected to see

| household. The exhibition is di
vided as follows: First figures on

group of English kings and queens,
and then take in the Berlin Con-

Beaconsfeld and all the members of
that illustriouS body. More kings,
and then we go into the
GOLDEN CHAMBER.
Here we see Napoleon Bonaparte
and COnsort, Napoleon Ill, General
Trochu, the late Prince Imperial,
Empress Eugene, Marshal Ney, ct
al. After we have looked upon the
brilliant beauties of royalty, patent
arisrOcracy and worth, we pay an
extra sixpence, and step with falter-
ing tread into the
CHAMBER OF HORRORS.
The lurid glare of the lamps now
lights up the cadaverous cOunten-
ances of the most hideous of muir
dererS the country has seen, such as
Marie and Geo. Manning, who killed
Mr.. O'COnnOr; James Mullins, who
murdered the Widow Ems.ey; Will
liam Palmer, who used to take the
lives of his victims with slow
poison, smiling at the torture he
inflicted, and calculating the pros
pective effect Of each dose of the
drug;
HARE AND BURKE,
Who undertook the contract and
filled it to a large extent, to furnish
subjects for the practice of students,
and many others too horrible to
mention and TOO CHASTITY to look at
more than once. They are dressed
in their own clothes and have every
appearance Of being the characters
they represent.
All OF the figures in the various
rooms are attiTed in appropriate
costumes, some of which are very
elegant, and the persOnages appear
very lifelike and real. There are
some moving figures which have by
their strong resemblance to reality
at times deceived visitors. One old
gentleman holding a snuff box in
his hand surprises an innocent party
sitting on his left by gradually turn
ing towards him and holding out
the Snuffbox, as if inviting him to
TAKE A PINCH.
The breathing lady is very natural
as also very beautiful. She lies on
an elegant sofa under a glass case.
a policeman standing near the door
has been frequently addressed for
information, but he was never
known to reply, and like the mem
bers Of our Salt Lake police force
he never leaves his post.

glazed leather. No arms to lean
on, no chance to wheel round, no
tipping up on one hind leg. What
