A Fine Hotel.
Demorest's Family Magazine.

Demorest's Family Magazine.
A syndicate Of Mexican capitalists
is about to erect n hotel in the city
ofMexico, which, it is said, will be the
finest hotel on the American CONT
neut. Its very lowest estimate OF
cost exceeds $2.OOO,OOO. The gov
eminent will provide 81 900, 700 OF
this in the form of q subsidy, besides
granting the free importation of ma.
terial to be used in the construction.
The hotel will be built Of stone quar-
ried in vicinity of the city of Mexico,
the floors will be of mosaic marble,
and the walls inlaid with Mexican
onyx, which takes Il remarkable pol.
ish, and the woodwork will be of ce'
dxr. mohoganv and rosewood. The
building will be five stories high, with
outside dimensions four hundred and
fifty-two feet, and it will contain four
guest-chambcrs built about n court,
the Dimensions of which will be one
hundred by two hundred and twenty
five feet. Some idea of the magniti'
cence of the designs may be derived
from the statement that $50 ,OOC
will be expended in fitting IN the
Turkish bath apartments. The
architect, Isaac Taylor, has gone tt
Mexico with the plans. which hav'
been accepted, and work will shortl.
be commenced.

examination saw a penny resting on
one of the bottom tianges. Taking
this off, the door shut and locked all

cost the firm to have the man go to
their place and pick up that little
coin, but it was enough to prevent
it's being repeated no doubt. A sim
arcase happened recently. We were
sent for at about the close of business
hours to see what was the trouble
with one of our safes. The bolts
would not throw far enough to turf

OF a cloth button from n lady's dress

FINDING A WIFE FOR HIM.

Said he, "My love, my life,
Oh! will you be my wife? 4
Tell me, sweetest.
You have graciousness of mien, 7
You are my affections queen, i
And OF the maids I've seen,
You re the neatest.
"Impossible. said she,
A'You can't he more to me
Than a brother,
For your angry word and look
1t might be my lot to brook
When you found l couldn't cook
Like your mother.

Since my hand you came to seek,
Last December,

OF the culinary art
How it rends her husbands heart,

Or evil, can see,
Will befall her;
must therefore answer no,
But our cook is down below,
And she hasn't any beau
Shall ! coll her?"
