An American Palace.

The house of Mr.. VIM. e. Vanderbilt,
the first of a series of receptions, is really a
palace probably the most splendid mansion
in the country The description of the in
terror reads like one OF the gorgeouslY painted
pen-pictures in the novels of Disraeli or Bull
wer. While there seems to have been no limit
to the amount of money expended, it is to be
noted at the same time that artists of the
highest rank have been those who have by
their genius contributed to design this first
American palace. Facchina. of Venice; Bar
badienni Gallaud and Lumirais of Paris
John La Fargo and others equally noted have
designed one part or another of the work.
Bronze, stained glass and mosaic form the
ceiling of the vestibule, whose walls are OF
African marbles. The main hall rises to the
full height of the house, the upper stories be-
ing approached by surrounding galleries, up
on which open the living rooms. The walls
of the drawing room are hung with pale red
velvet, embroidered with designs OF foliage,
enriched with cut crystals. The lights are in
| eight vases of stained and jeWelled glass,
| backed by mirrors and standing on columns
of ONYX and bronze The woodwork of the
| library is inlaid with metherof-pearl and
brass, on mahogany orrosewood. One parlor is
entirely Japanese in design and ornamental
ton, bamboo, hangings and lacquer. The
dining-room is in the style of the Italian re-
naissance The picture gallery contains some
of the best examples of modern and ancient
art, and has one room especially devoted to
aouarelles Stamped leather, tapestry and
uncut velvets are used for hangings; bronze
carved woods and rare marbles, stained and
ieweled glass-all worked out by artistic ar
tisans from high artistic designs-are used
throughout with what would be lavishness
but for the fact that all has been moulded into
a harmonious whole by master hand, the
entire exterior appearance and interior deco
ton having been under the supervision Of Mr.
C. Herter, of New York. Most of the work
is American, for much that was executed
abroad was from home designs, and New
York artisans were in many instances employ
ed to carry out the designs of French anc
E;,gIish artists.

LoNGsTREET WOUNDED.
In the fiercest of the struggle, when it
seemed that the giving way of a single COM
pany might turn the scale, Longstreet was
struck by bullet and disabled, and before his
successor could come forward and grasp the
situation the moment had passed, and the
Brock Road was saved. 1t is a dark and lone
~ highway as you ride over it to-day and
every foot of it has q story of blood. The
burial parties found hundreds who had crawled
into the thickets and swamps and died, and
years after, the government contractors who
were removing the dead to the national GENE
teries, found scores of skeletons which had
never been buried at all
WHEN NIGHT FELL
Lee was still attacking, but he was striking
an iron plate from which every blow rebound

not defeated him. Grant had not driven Lee,
but he had saved his road out of that horrible
slaughter-pen. Neither had secured and ad
vantage, but under the pines were thousands
of dead-thousands of manned and crippled ;
and as twilight faded into darkness along that
front Of seventeen miles, stretching over
swamp and thicket there arose a direful
sound. 1t was a murmur at first. Then it
swelled to a steady cry-not one shout or
groan or shrek, but thousands of them min

have been inclined to think that tropical fruit

producer per acre than could be got out of an

When profit of $500 per acre is made on cab

Grant could not drive Lee Could Lee drive
Grant? If Longstreet could push Hancock
back over the Brock road, Grant was shut up
in the Wilderness If Hancock could hold the
Brock road, Grant had an open route across
Lees front to Spottsylvania. In holding that
road Grant was therefore fighting for his life.
Gibbons Division was pushed forward to sup
port Hancock, batteries hauled through
swamps and thickets, the stragglers driven
into line, and then, for quarter of an hour,
there was an ominous silence. Hancock was
drawing a full breath-Longstreet was brac-
ing his nerves. There had been such fighting
in those tangled woods as war had never seen
before. Desperate fighting would not save
that Brock road-desperat fighting would not
carry it.
