The depreciation of the Portuguese
currency has resulted in the abandonment
OF the Lisbon Harbor works and the ruin
of the unfortunate contractor, who has
been obliged to sacrifice a deposit of
S55O,0oo and to leave his plant for some
time at least at the disposal of the Por.
tuguese Government. The immediate
cause of the collapse was a refusal of the
authorities to pay in anything but Por-
tuguese paper money, with which the
contractor found 1t impossible to meet
the demands of the foreign engineers.
mechanics, and divers Unemployed and

rails which he was obliged to order from
abroad. Nearly 1000 men have been
discharged, many of whom have sailed
for Austria and Italy. The Government
declares that it will continue the works
soon, but the difficulties of carving out
the original designs are said to be almost
lnsurmountable. Meanwhile the banks
OF the Tagus bordering the city for
several miles are covered with thick
deposit formed by the discharge from all
! the drains OF the city, and the smell at
low tide is horrible. The whole citv IT.
deed is exposed to the dangers of an
epidemic of fever. In this situation the
unhappy contractor is blamed, and no.
body seems to appreciate the injustice
and absurdity of expecting man to
continue paying out good money for bad,
indefinitely.

heavy band course. At the northwest
corner is an Cctagon tower and there is
fine balcony. The idea evidently is to
combine the quaint attractiveness of the
old Colonial dwellings, with all the con-
veniences of modern life.
The visitor enters, by porte cochere,
the old fashioned English hall in which

a wide, open fireplace for wood. To the
right sliding door gives access to the
drawing room, - by 16 feet, which is
further enlarged by a pretty alcove on
one side and a music room on the other.
Out of the drawing room easement win
dows gives egress to the porch under
the tower. Sliding doors also admit one
from the hall to the dining room on the
left, in which a stained glass transom
over each window gives softened eff
tect to the light.
From the dining room an arch, closed
by a portiere. opens upon a conservatory,
and beside this is the den" of the
humorist himself. For dignity's sake it
might be called a private library. The

every one, the closets included, Win
dow admits abundant light. The third
floor is in the roof" as architects say;
that is, it takes up the available space,
which furnishes very commodious serv-
ants quarters. There is also an ele-
gantly lighted studio in the tower, and
from the balcony one oyerlooks a SPLEEN

river roaring below, the Buck shoals and
the Blue Ridge mountains.

rest of the basement is taken up by fur
