House message in relation to the tro-
phies and relics of General Grant, now
in possession of Mrs. Grant, and which
she has rendered the Nation as soon as
a suitable place for their reception is
prepared. The President recommends
that Congress not only make suitable
arrangements for the reception of the
valuable collection, but urges the pas.
sage of a bill which will enable the Pres.

Hints and Notions.

The characteristic coloring of a dining
room should be warm, rich and substantial,
and where contrasts are introduced they
should not be vived.
Parlors ought to be painted in medium
style, between that Of drawing-room and
dining-ro0m.
To Fasten Leather upon Metal,-The
surface of the metal is washed with hot
solution of gelatine, and the leather, pre-
viously stepped in a hot infusion of gall
nuts, is pressed upon the metal and allowed
to cool
Staircases, lobbies, vestibuIes, etc, should
be simple and free from contrasts. The
effect to be produced is that Of architec-
tural grandeur, which owes its beauty
more to the effect of light and shade than
to any arrangement Of colors. Yet they
ought not to be 50 entirely free from color
as the exterior Of mansion, but should be
10 coloring what they are in Use-a link
between exterior simplicity and interior
richness. Staircases and Hobbies being
cool in tone and simple in the style Of their
coloring, will much improve the effect OF

Il is said that bright colored satins are
not now fashionably laid down the center
Of the dinner table; that dark plush scarfs,
undecorated, but edged with a heavy silk
cord, are more popular. In one fashion
able house the floral decoration is confined
to small ferns growing in pure white vases
upheld by eupids of the same colorless
substance, other ianciful designs being
utilized for these same reoeptacIes. A new
fancy is to lay the thin and narrow slices
Of bread in the seryiette. A white satin
ribbon is tied around the whole, and a
spray Of ferns and white flowers laid above.
