A Durable House.

A gentleman of Parkersburg, Pa I,
George Huston, will build q house en-.
tirely of iron. The floors of the hall,
vestibule, and library will be laid with
polished cast. iron tiles, in which diff
ferent qualities of iron will be used to
produce the same variety OF color as
in ordinary tile flooring All the
other floors Of the house will be OF
stout iron plates firmly bolted to the
iron joists. The outside walls and
inside partitions will be composed OF
two courses of iron plates firmly bolted
together, so as to be sir.tight. These
hollow iron walls and partitions will
be used instead of chimneys and for
conveying heat to different parts OF
the house, and for ventilation. The
hot smoke and gasses from the for
nacss passing through the sides 81 the
rooms in this way will, 1t is claimed,
be almost sufficient to keep the house
comfortable In the coolest weather, so
that the heating can be done with
about one. half the fuel required IN
ordinary houses. All the doors and
window sashes will also be iron, but
will be constructed In such a Light way
and so nicely balanced upon hinges
and weights as to open and shut as
easily as those made of wood. In the
parlor will be a mantel of polished
steel handsomely ornamentsd. There
will be a similar n in the dining
room, upon which will be engraved
hunting scenes. In the library Will
be a massive mantel, so constructed
that it will look as if it were MADE OF
pig-iron fused together. MIR. Huston
admits that his house may cost twice
or three times as much az an ordinary
house, but claims that with a little
attention it will last for centuries
without repairs, and will never cost a
cent for insurance.

seems to take any inter st in
the matter, or has ever made
an effort to protect the graves
of the dead who have been

dead or, becoming reduced in
circumstances by the late war;
were compelled to abandon the
old homestead, and~are now
scattered abroad over the land

ones whom they laid to their
final rest on the shore OF the
Father of Waters. No matter
who they were they certainly
possessed large wealth, as the
monuments at this graveyard
and expensive burials indicate.
If there is no member OF the
family left remaining Mt Good
rich upon whom the duty of
protecting the graves OF his
relatives would properly and
rightfully belong, the officials
of the parish should take it
upon themselves to see that
they are either kept intact at

THE ALAMO.
[American Register.

The Alamo-the old stone
cathedral-of San Antonio is
the .Thermopyle of the New
World. It's story only differs
from that told of Leonidas and
his devoted band in the fact
that of the 165 defenders OF the
Alamo, against 1900 Mexicans,
there was no survivor to tell
it in LacedRmon that we died
here in obedience to her laws"
The Alamo was besieged
through ele1 Ays and nights.
AT length, zen assaulted be-
fore day dawn on every side,
and when its garrison was ex-
hausted by constant dangers
and tolls, the Mexicans scaled
the stone-wall enclosing the
church. The commander of the
stronghold had consulted his
men. They had resolved never
to surrender. Bowie's body
was found pinned to his bed OF
sickness by bayonets. Around
the spot at which David Crock
ett served a 13.pOunder, Mexi-
cans were heaped up as II to
constitute a fortress for the IN
vincible Tennesseean Travls's
negro body servant, Ben, was
still living nine years ago. HIS
life was spared that he might
designate the bodies of the
fallen chieftains. Mrs. Dickin-
son, whose husband was a Con-
necticut tradesman and lieu
tenant of a volunteer company
of San Antonio, occupied a
small apartment in the basement
of the church. Dickinson fell
sword in hand at the dSArway
to this apartment. Almonte m
terposed and made the infurla

Mrs. Dickinson and her child
and this now venerable woman

The Brandon Republican say.
that a Swede named Brady, liv-
ing on the old Nicely place, was
tried at the last term of the Cir
cult Court for unlawful cohabi-
tation with a negro woman, and
was convicted and fined. Last
Thursday night, we are inform
ed by reliable authority, he was
married to the negro woman by
Adam Lewis, a negro preacher.
The Republican thinks that
Brady stands a fair chance TO
90 to the penitentiary, as the
law does not permit such mar
riapes,
