with the assembling Of the Fifty-seventh

the ordinary Individual or official builds

The gentleman who devised the ceiling
OF the present hall II 1857 arranged in
1t forty-fve glass panels, on which the
coat OF arms OF the several States were
TO be blazoned. He thought, and the
authorities evidently agreed with him.
that the then fourteen empty panels

the last one was appropriated when Utah

time, however. the space has not been

after the first hall of the House was con-
