6 WASHINGTON. A Junket of Nuts. Bon-Bons for Thanksgiving Carnival, IVhat Our Correspondent’s Goose is Stuffed With. Newsy Chirps. From Our Own CorrcsponienL Washington, Nov. 23. Yesterday we had the line wedding. Such a beautiful bridegroom! A model to make poems to, and. a first-rate gentleman, too, with an eye like a jet bead. I throw a shoe for good luck after Colonel Stocking. What did the bride wear Certainly! A white gros grain, train, and point lace, and tulle veil fastened with orange-blossoms,and diamond jewelry, ear-rings, chain, and cross; ear-rings first-water rolitnirc*; eleven dia monds in the cross. There were three brides maids. men not counted, being nowhere on such occasions. The sole duty of men at ■weddings is to keep off the bridesmaids 1 dresses and pay for the bouquets. The bride looked like a young queen at coronation. 3’rcsenls wore cverj'wherc, and Justice Mil ler resembled the bust of John Jay at a mo ment of mingled pride aud emotion. Tiiis city has lately become quite a lecture place, and it possesses in Lincoln llall one of the pleasantest rooms for the xmrposo in the country. The lecturers arc generally unmercifully treated in the local press. Last night we had a woman, 20 years old, talking about the physiological laws of the mar riage-system. Being a Miss, at least nomi nally, what does she know about our mar riage-system f Did you ever see such perse vering minxes as these Chitlins and Wood- Lulls? Thej* belong to all tho foreign com munisms; their lecturers perambulate society; Judge McKean will find Mormouism sill over the Last when he gets through with Bricham Young. They have put up a bust of Benjamm Franklin over the Government Printing Of tice. This must be a Presidential slight to Horace Greeley. However, wo can remedy this by setting up a turnip beside it, with the inscription, ‘’fie wouldn’t have uo Brit ish gold.” Alexis led Mrs. Smith to the supper-table at the Brooklyn naval ball. This colls for a reunion of the Smith family, aud the raising of a purse to secure those estates left bj* the late Smith in foreign lauds. The name is now pronounced Sme-lrith, not penultimatcd. Lottery-policy is the one evil which has not raised un adverse political party. It is as great a vice in cities as what is called the' Social Evil. A well-dressed New York law yer comes here every session to stop legisla lion aud sway the .Revenue Ofiicc on that bead. If he comes again this session, one of these long letters will fall on him. We ought to have Charles Sumner at the Lead of The Senate Foreign Affairs Commit tee, in place of the penurious Winnebago Chief who now directs it. aud who bounds China on the north with Morocco—pro tected. Senator Osborn, brother to the reverend railroad jobber, whose letters to Representa tive Charles Hamilton I published last session, wants martial law declared in I’iori »,ooo, and clear tlie difference. The country is now full of ‘•camps buying hotels for the Pennsyl vania Kailioad. We have two more new statues for the old Hall of Representatives, lying there now in boxes Roger Gherman and .Jonathan Trum bull. Jt is supposed that, since Thomas Mur phy received the late eulogy from the Presi dent. his statue will be sent from the .State of New York, carved with one of his shoddy hats cn his head, and accompanied by a statue of Isaiah Uynders, inscription Jna•; /urnnit vU:a, worts They are putting Seneca stone in the foundations of the costly new State Depart ment, contrary to prescription, safety, and honesty. The Seneca stone is goad for flag ging: it is 100 fraclurable and friable for foundations; and, in a building like this, in tended to last during the whole era of a na tion, it is an outrage and a jnb to use it. Will not the amiable and dicisive Hamilton Fish stop this iu the following terms: “Ox j-dized clay must not be put in the piers of the State Department. If it is u joke, it must be explained. The business of my De partment may be light, but oar society above s ;airs is heavy, and there has been no appropi iution to erect me a tomb at the pub lic expense.” Signed with the favorite Green heal. Mr. Fish is the greatest diplomatist now living, except Count Bismark. I met a young newspaper-reporter belonging to one the great dailies,—great because they con tain so many littlenesses, like the great ocean which is full of shrimps,—last week, and I said: “How arc you “Oh! said he, “such a headache!

THE CHINESE DELUGE. Twenty Thousand Square Ifltlcs Sub merged-Superstition of the Natives. Tbo Shanghao Jtndget of October 4 con tains a letter from which we copj’as follows; All who have heard of the terrible Hoods in North China, consequent upon tho over flow of the rivers, must wish that it were possible to investigate fully the causes, pro- Sress. and results of an event which cannot ut have sad and far-reaching Directs. But, unfortunately, wo have to guess a good deal, as usual. We can only collect aud compare the meagre and not very reliable evidence aflorded bj* ollicial documents with tho sto ries current among the people, aud testimony of the few foreigners who have had tho op portunity of making personal observations. The country immediately about Peking has escaped, and tho crops thereabouts be ing above tiio average, it is said that our friends in tho capital have conclu ded that the inundation is local and quite unimportant. For the sake of the poor peasantry, everj* ono must hope that it is so. But 1 fear the hope is delusive. According to the most trustworthy information we can get (aud it so happens that we have the tes timoiyof three or four English ejm-wit neescs from as many extreme points), it would seem that the submerged district is of vast extent—probably at least 2J.OJU square miles. To realize what this means, wo have onlj* to remember that it represents an area larger than one-third of England and Wales. The mind is appalled at the bare thought of such a calamitj'. Those upon the snot, as they look down upon drowned vil lages aud ruined crops, or listen to the tales of desolation which reach them from the in terior, or see the crowds of homeless and food less refugees pouring into this city from tho country, get some faint idea of the kind of suffering it is causing; but even thej’ can have no adequate conception of its amounts. The storj* goes, that before tho river actu ally broke at Tsz-chu-liu, a messenger was sent from the Yanien to inspect the threaten ed spot. He found a small hole, aud everj* sign of the coming disaster. But in the hole wjw a large fish. This was declared to be a god, aud the conclusion drawn was that it would be impious to try to stop the passage of the waters, as it was plainly the will of Heaven that the bank should give way. When the catastrophe- had actuallj’ occur red, and successive attempts to till the breach had failed—the rushing stream having swept piles and reeds awaj’—the Tale grew. It was then said there were two fishes, one of which had gone up the couutrj*, while the other re mained about tho opening, and that of course it would be useless to do auj-fchiug until tho waiuhrerretunied. A fewdaj’slaterl learned that the Tau-tai of Tient-siu, in his capacity of conservator of rivers, etc., had gone to the break in the Encho, on the west of the citj’, to sacrifice to Yuen-Shen, a fabulous toitoise or fish, who is supposed to control the waters. He went in great state, and was accompanied by other officials. Tables were placed upon the river banks, a tablet, in cense urns, candle-sticks, aud all other nec essary paraphernalia placed in their proper place's, and then this strange cercmonj* be gan. Not having been present, I can only give tlie bare facts. Beside the actual wor ship, tho principal business was a longpraj’er offered bj- the Tau-tai, who recounted the Rullerings caused by tho flood, the fruitless efforts made to stop the various breaks in the banks of the rivers, and besought the fish-god to allow them now to be repaired. The "works at this spot were then recom menced at once. Unfoiiunafelj*, Yuen Shcn does not seem to have been satisfied, for before long the waters again asserted their power, and swept awaj* all the material gathered to resist them. Then the Tau-tai grew angry, aud paid an other visit to the breach. But there was no worship on this occasion. No incense, uo of ferings. Camion took their place, and tho magistrate roundly rated tho god forhisnon compliance with his wishes. Didn’t 1 tell you so and so. aud j*ou paid uo attcutiou. You don’t care for the trouble caused to so many thousands of people,” A:c., Ac. Bang! bang! bang! the cannon were let tlj’ at him, and I suppose tho wortbj* magistrate went I tome feeling that ho had done his duty! There can be little doubt, whether ho has made any impression on Yuen *Shen or not, that he has to a certain extent succeeded iu convincing the people that he is not responsi ble for the flood and iu confirming the popu lar superstition. THE EMPRESS EUGENIE’S BIRTH- DAY. How it van Spent at CbincliiurNt-Tlic Lndics of Pariit and Their Sovereign— The Emperor Beceivts a E*ari»ian Drpn. cation. I'i cm ilic Examiner, Nov. ic. Tuesday was the “/t7c day” (Ste. Eugenic) of the Empress, on which anniversary it is the custom on thccoutinent to make presents and offerings of affection to those whoso names correspond with that on the calendar. The present chosen by the people of Paris, or at least by the sympathizers with the cx-im peiial family, as a mark of their affection for the Empress Eugenic, consisted of a couple of bouquets four feet iu circumference, so arranged as to form an elaborate monogram “Eugenie” and amagnificeut album, covered whirpurple velvet audmounted in gold, with the letter E,” surmounted by the imperial crown of Prance, on the* upper cover, also in solid gold. The album contains the names of persons and linns iu Paris, representing in all upwards of ”0,000 individuals, who thus availed them selves of the only opportunity at present af forded them of assuring the Emperor of their lasting attachment. There was, in addition, a present, in the shape of a series of small bouquets, from the ladies of Paris, a testi monial of affection, headed by Madame Lc febre, the wife of the late Prefect of Dijon, and a similar emblem of devotion from some others of the late Imperial Guard. The deputation numbered nine gentlemen and three ladies. Arriving at the Chisel burst station the two cases of enormous di mensions containing the tlowers were placed on the top of a cab, which followed m the rear of the deputation, who walked leisurely up to Camden House. At the entrance gates the card of one of the party was sent to the Empeior with the message that a deputa tion fiom Paris desired an interview. Alter the lapse of a few minutes they were admitted, and upon reaching tlit; house they were received iu the entrance hall by Comte Davillicra, who, after ascer taining the object of the visit, left them to communicate his information to the Em peror. He returned iu about ten minutes, and a moment afterward the Emperor walked slowly into the room. He looked extremely well, but appeared moved by the presence of visitors and the object of the interview. After a lew words from the Emperor, in recognition of the feeling thus evinced to ward him, the gentleman who was appointed to act as spokesman commenced to read an address prepared for the occasion, but, after rending a couple of sentences, he too, burst into a Hood of tears and was unable to pro ceed. His Majesty thereupon said in French: “Lend me the book and I will read it.” He accoidingly read in silence the address, of which tin; following is a translation iriiiK We bear you the regrets of the country ol which we are ilie faithful echo. Will Your Mafcsly deign, to offer them to Her Majesty, the Kmjnis.o, on her return. It would nave lucu a great pleasure to us to contemplate the featuris of our umch-loved sovereign; but as fate has decided otherwise, wc shall await list* privilege of seeing Her Majesty til!

Ihe Liuperor then retired, and the deputa tion were invited by tho Compt Dav liters to partake of refreshment. Unox. subsequently returning to the reception room, His Majesty came in, accompanied by t lie Prince Imperial, whom he introduced to tbe deputation ob serving, “Ik* is growing mute a man” placing, at the same time, his arm oa his boy’s shoulder. Ihe young Prince then "avc his carte dc vinifc to each member of tho'dcp utation, to each of whom a photogranh of the Hmperor was presented. —The French people stand up rigidly to thcirresolntiou to have nothing to do with the Oeimans.

Sash, Doors, Blinds, Cornices, Etc. —Gen- eral Gossip About Building Ma terial and Builders. The roofing of the buildings of the new citj' is almost as important a consideration as the material which shall go into tho struc ture of the walls. Poors are high above tho ground and in a great measure inaccessible in times of lire. Thcycxposo avast area of surface to combustion, and when this height is extreme, seriously delay, or render futile the operations of the most efiiciout lire de partment. Shingle roofs should not bo tol erated, cither within or without tho fire limits. Within all limits of judicious pre caution tho good souse of builders, owners, and architects will render them out of tho question. The number of articles for roofing push ing their claims for precedence among the building material in the market is almost in finite. They are of various degrees of excel lence, and few of them aro remarkable for cheapness. Tho future safety of Chicago promises to bo expensive. If people desire immunity from danger they must pay liber ally for it. In tho light of tho groat confla gration, the question to bo considered is not only whether a roof is safe from Hying sparks and cinders, but whether it can bo wrapped, and sheathed, and lapped, and cased in flame, and all that sort of thing, and come out of tho fiery ordeal uninjured. Asbestos, we presume, would answer all tho requisitions, but asbestos is quoted high in the markets of the world, and there is very little to bo had. People will have to use the least combustible materials and combina tions at their command. Till lias been long used upon roofs, and lias its peculiar merits. It is light, not very ex pensive, easily put in place, impervious to water, and, if jiropcrly looked after, unob jectionable as regards durability. It is ne cessary, however, to join it with solder to make it water-tight, and it requires no very fervent heat to molt the solder, warp the thin plates of sheet iron, and leave this roof, in case of lire, at the mercy of the devouring element. "While the fire is at a distance, and only sparks and cinders aro Hying through the air, it is suftidcntlylirc-proofforordiuary purposes. Sheet iron, for pooling uses, excels tin both in degree of safety and in expense. Upon the peculiar use and adaptation of that ma terial there is a great variety of patents, most of which have already made their ap pearance. A sheet iron roof is safe from sparks and cinders, but when the heat is ex treme, the iron warps, separates at the joints, and either leaves the woodwork upon which it rests exposed directly to the tlames, or, being itself heated to redness, assists in the general combustion. To obviate the difliculty of its breaking at the edges, va rious locks’* or involutions of the sheet Lave been devised, which can at the best bo but partial remedies for the evil, la spite of all objections Iron roofs aro invaluable, and protective up to a certain degree of heat, and will bo used upon buildings, especially upon largo buildings or manufac tories, to a degree commensurate with their merits. The most inexpensive kinds aro necessarily costly. Galvanized iron or zinc can be used with facility, and can be put in place for sl2 per square. The cheapest iron roof will cost $lO per square, while persons desirous of building regardless of expense can, if they choose, pay at the rale of s.">o for the same superlicics. Tainting the iron ren tiers it, of course, less destructible from ex posureVto the weather, but makes no mate rial difference in the ease of lire. Corrugated shingles, made by a Connecti cut company, from iron, zinc, and copper, and of every desirable stylo, are offered in Chicago for the following prices per foot, measured on the roof: Copper, 51 cents; paint ed iron, cents; zinc. 10 cents; galvanized iron, 10 cents; tin plate, 12 cents; these rates being varied by the presence of paint or ena mel. This method of rooting is perhaps less liable to warp than Hat iron plates, and is impervious to water. “Thatcher’s metallic shingle rootling and siding” is made in Cleveland. It has been used elsewhere, but is now for the Hrst time otlered for sale in our city. It is applied in Hat square sheets, locked at the edges, and riveted, with due regard to contraction and expansion. It possesses the average advan tages, and is liable to the objections urged against iron roofs generally. As far as price is concerned, it will probably be able to com pete successfully with the rest. The iron used is from the best Lake Superior ores. Concrete or gravel roofs are usually made of felt covered with tar or asphaltum, in which sand, gravel, or other material is Im bedded. Its power to resist lire depends upon the manner in which it is applied, amount of gravel used, etc. It is applied in broad sheets, laid lengthwise of the roof, and overlapping like shingles. After the lire, extraordinary tales were told about the agency of felt rooting in spreading the cou- Hagratiou. The feeling against it was at that time deep and widespread. The writer has conversed extensively with builders and architects upon the subject, and found them not unfavorably disposed toward felt roof ing if properly put on .The extreme cheap ness, when lightly put on, often causes the work to be slighted and imperfectly done: and here exists the great danger of its use to individual buildings, and to the city at large. This is a matter that should bo carefully looked after by the authorities. The felt should always be of several thicknesses, carefully secured, and thickly covered with gravel when put on, and it should after wards be closely watched and kept in per fect repair. The New England Paving Company, of Loi-ton, make their appearance for the Hrst time with their “asphalt and concrete pav ing,” which they propose also to apply to roofs, using a basis of felt like the rest. Testimonials in regard to its good qualities, when used in the hrst capacity, are liberally furnished. It is said to dry rapidly, bo free from offensive odors, to stand time well, and to be capable to withstand great heat. All of which questions must be decided 1o the satisfaction of the Chicago public. Tl:o cost of this material for coating felt will be about $3 per square; for a roof com plete and warranted for ten years, $S per square; for paving purposes—and the ques tion of paving is going to bo important in the reconstruction of the city—it cun bo laid for $1 to $3 per square yard; the material be ing from two to eight inches in thickness. The use of this material for rooting has so far been limited. The agent suggests improved methods of putting it on which will increase the degree of safety. An excellent bnt expensive rooting is that furnished by the Chicago Elastic Stone Hoof ing Co., the price of which wo are uot at this moment able to furnish. This roof ing is composed of coal tar, thickened by the audition of kaolin, or tine ground porcelain clay, that it may not run from the extreme of summer heat, and also rendering the materials Hrc-proof; to this they add a preparation of dissolved India rubber and glycerine, and the whole is thor oughly mixed by machinery. The principle of the roof is that, upon applying the mate rial warm to the surface ot the felting, the rubber, not being combined: but simply ad mixed, rises to the surface, forming a tilm or envelope over the surface, protecting it from the action of the atmosphere. The glycer ine, which will not evaporate, keeps it al ways elastic, so that it will not crack from cold. Its power of resisting lire is equal to that of any other rootings of similar nature, and its coming into general use will depend, in a great measure, upon its adaption, as re gards price, to the financial ability of the builder. FAFII, DLIXDS, STAIRS, KTC. Nearly all the lumber used iu building passes m transition through the planing mills. Of these there ■were more than forty before the fire, sixteen of which were at that time destroyed. Some of these will bo re placed in time for next season’s business. In any event the supply of articles iu this lino of products will be ample to accommodate tbe increased demand, without any material advance in prices. U'ew of these establish ments conlined themselves to the mere busi ness of planing. In most cases they added the manufacture of sash, doors, ana blinds, and, in many instances, stair-building and the making of mouldings of alTkiuds. This multifarious business often included, or was attached to, a lumberyard, where lumber of everv variety, whether pine or hard wood, could be obtained. The manufacture of plain (loots, sash, and blinds docs, not re quire tbe exercise of very rare skill. The value of sash is estimated by the size of tho light and the number of lights to a window, the only two kinds known to the trade being “plain sash” and “lip sash.’ the price fist is long and intricate, and wo can only say that plain sash” can be pur chased at SI.OO for a window 10x20, and jor a glazed window of tho same size, having iS hghte. A.store door,sxT t with sash lor shnttcrs, can bo furnished for vb.to. init side-blinds are worth—SxlO and of the usual thickness for rolling slats— painted, etc., *O.TS; inside blinds, roll ing bints, .-0 cents. I hese prices are increased for complicated patterns, or for other woods than pine. Hoor and window frames of medium size can be bought for from *°oo to plain, lor elaborate designs persons imibt pay such prices as can be agreed upon between themselves and the manufacturer. The manufacture of these articles is not conlined to the planing mills, but is carried cm in a small way in car penter shops or other similar places iu all parts of the city. Much artistic skill has of late years been expended upon stair-building. Ingenious mechanics and designers in wood have brought this department of labor to a high THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: ..TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1871 degree of perfection. The principal kinds of hard •wood used are black walnut, cherry,, oak, aud ash. Maple is employed to some ox tout, aud mahogany is used for veneering. The skill of the designer is principally shown in the newel posts aud balusters, which are infinitely va ried in size, shape, blending of differontcol ored woods, and ornamentation. Prices are as varied as patterns, and sometimes reach, fora single stairway, far up into the thou sands. Expensive stairways are in demand for lino buildings, intended principally for bauks and office purposes, aud for the resi dences of the wealthy. The-sales of the largo manufactories in all the branches men tioned, winch grow out of immediate contact with lumber, are uot confined to the limits of any city, but extend hundreds of miles into remote districts, the articles being in demand for churches and other public build ings, as well as for private residences. For stores, tiro and burglar-proof blinds aud doors arc frequently used. The writer has recently been shown a fire-proof inven tion, for which a caveat has been filed by Mr. J. B. Clark, of Bloomington, the same con sisting of three thicknesses of tin or sheet iron riveted together, and having air-cham bers between. It is intended to bo used either for blinds or rooting, and will un doubtedly bo a good thing if those using it can afford to jiay well for the privilege. In addition to tho great ex pense, it would have the natural objection of being weighty aud cumber some. In tho process of reconstruction men can adopt fire-proof plans and nso fire-proof materials only to the extent of their means, no matter what may be tho result. The planing mill aud sash and blind manufacturers are somewhat disturbed at tho prospect of compulsory removal beyond our new andaemote lire limits. Tho lumber dealers share in tho feeling. The use of wood for cornices is not likclj' long to continue. Buildings in process of construction are being finished according to plans made under the old dispensation, but architects and builders must, in the new era coming, 3’lcld to the decrees of fate. Florid wooden architec ture, with its nests for birds and tho coigaes of vantage for tho sparks of conflagration, must acknowledge the demands of the time. The old order chaugcth, yielding place to new.” Brick cornices can bo employed 011I3' to a limited extent, being hcav3% unwiehy, and uot admitting of faeilit3 r of ornament or of display. Tho material most in favor at present is the galvanized iron, which is light, durable, and capable of being pressed into the most complicated designs of tho architect. It is kept in shape and position hy iron brackets at tho caves. There is no material capable cf more general use for purposes of decoration than gal vanized iron, which can be color ed to resemble or contrast with any kind of brick or stone. It is manufactured in Pittsburgh aud sent to all parts of tho coimtiy in sheets, taking the forms specified by the architect, at some establishment not remote from the building into which it is to enter as a component part. We have now specified, in a sorlcsSof arti cles, the materials which go to form the solid and conspicuous elements of the buildings of the future. The remarks that have been made, where they were susceptible of special application, have been, in most in stances, applicable to structures in tended for business purposes. In a generic way what wo have said would not be inappropriate to matters relating to the construction of private residences. For these thinner foundations and walls snllice, and the footing stones are dispensed with. The amount of cement used in the con struction of the city will be immense, lint the supply will bo ample, and very select qualities arc ottered to the purchaser. Those manufactured in Louisville, Ky., and Akron, Ohio, sustain a good reputation among ma sons and builders. There are many other makes of cement scarcely inferior. The de maud for lime will be iutinitely greater, but the snpulv is sullieieut and close at hand. That made at the kilns in the vicinity of the city is equal to the best, and makes, with the lino gaud of the lake shore, the best quality of mortar. Plasterers’ work can only be carried on during the winter within enclosed walls, and in an atmosphere whose rigors are tem pered by a lire. Painters’ and glaziers’ work is limited by the same disadvantages. The wages of painters, glaziers, and plasterers have always been high, owing to the brief season during which they have employment. They are not likely to be less next summer, although the number of laborers in these departments of mechanics will bo greatly increased. The materials whose use is in cidental to their business are not likely to be enhanced in value. Nearly all the coarse window glass used here conies from Pittsburgh. The heavy glass employed for the Hours of stores comes prin cipally from the same place, but other towns along the Ohio Fiver furnish a small propor tion. The patent bull’s ej’e-glass, set in pavements, comes from New York. French plate for largo windows, or ordinary set tings, is imported direct, and will take abroad a largo amount of money before the rebuilding ol the city is completed. In some of the liner show windows of the city wore single plates of tine French glass which cost several thousand dollars. The interior linishing ami frescoing of the liner buildings will rail to the city aliost of skilled artisans before another winter of more cheerful prospect than this shall have closed in upon us. Briefly resuming the subject of the supply of material, the writer would say that of lumber the supply will bo ample, and the prices in this city will probably not exceed £l7. The dealers, however, scorn prejudiced against odd numbers, and may force it up to £lB. Brick ought to be had for £lO per thousand, but will probably briug more, which would make it more profitable for capitalists desiring to invest in the business. Building stone can be bad in abundance at a slight advance upon last j’car’s rates in one or two of the kinds used. Articles manufactured of pine lumber will bring slightly increased prices. Iron will remain nearly at the obi figures. Other articles,*for prime use or or nament, may advance a little, either from sympathy or tho increased demand. It is not anticipated that there will he any material increase in the price of labor after the season is fairly opened. Bricklayers now receive from live to seven dollars a day, the day being the limited space which na ture now permits between daj’lighfc and the recurrence of darkness. Men at tho brick yards will be paid a little more next season. Carpenters now have a daily remuneration of from three to four dollars. .Stone-cutters have four to five dollars. Tho influx of alien labor will doubtless duly temper uud equalize the matter of wages. In regard to the continuation of building during the winter, there are various opin ions. "Tho writer has been informed by an architect, formerly of Montreal, that ho had superintcudedtlio erection of brick buildings in the very coldest weather of tho winter, and ho did not know that ho had seen stronger walls. If tho bricks can be kept dry and tho mortar warm, there will be no trouble. The slower the “mortal-” sets, so that it is not frozen, the more substantial will ho the structure when liuisbcd. It is only possible to say, prophetically, that tho amount of rebuilding during the coldest •weather depends upon the cost of labor, the cold and moisture of the weather, and the urgency of the builder. Only those whoso haste is extreme will give.bricklayers £7 per day, when the man can render but a poor return for it. Bricks caunot be laid when the weather is rainy or snowy, and. will not be laid when the thermometer is at the lowest. HOW THE LESSON IS LEARNED. The question now is, What have the peo ple of Chicago learned, and how will they put what they have learned in practice: Our merchants cannot build of asbestos; they cannot excavate their stores and dwell ings from the solid rock, nor can they put up structures entirely of iron, cast in a single piece. These materials are expensive, even in small quantities, difficult to work, and cumbersome to handle. Their means are least when most sorely needed. With the money that men had before the tire, and the excellence that the great conflagration en tailed, there is no doubt a very different city would have been produced than that which was destroyed. The portions of the lesson not only learned, but put in practice, will bo the diminished use of wood, the erection of stronger walls, the more extensive use of iron, and the re jection, as far as possible, of hazardous and uncertain materials. In the direction of that which is fire-proof, there are few who will not he limited by expenditure. None will do quilo as well as they wmild be glad to do. It is useless for men to cavil or to expect im possible results. The general result will bo a marked improvement over the past, but not perfection. And whatever may be said iu regard to improvidence, it useless to argue the question on the supposition that a lire, such os never before scourged a hapless people since Eden, will occur again, until time shall have razed to the ground, without special catastrophe, the new and beautiful Chicago that is to spring up from the ashes of the old. Four years ng6 it was suggested, as a boa-' Bible means of restoring to the cityef Ven ice a portion of its material prosperity, that a line of a dozen or more steamers, capable of navigating tbe Suez Canal, should bo es tablished to ply between Venice and the ports of Eastern Europe and of Asia, to se omc at least the bulk of the freight trafllc, if not some ef the passenger travel, between the North of Europe and the Eastern Medi terranean and the Pacific. This idea was abandoned, however, for the rea son that the railway tratlic, via the Alps tunnels, would inevitably find its ter minus at Erindisi, COO miles south of Venice, and without passing that city nearer than £OO miles, while the railway traffic by way of the Tyrol cannot be diverted from the port of Trieste. It was, besides, urged against the Venetian and Oriental steam shipjpioject that “time is money,” and that railway transportation has of late been ren dered s-o cheap, that steamships cannot profitably compete with it, except under conditions that are not susceptible of application to a lino of steamers be tween Venice and the East, m against the Brindisi and Trieste routes. Italian politics are now so well settled that Italian patriots and stat* smen can afford both the time and attention necessary to dcviso or accept some plan that shall restore to Venice, even though from new sources, a portion of COK.NICKS, KTC, GOSSIP Venice, its former prosperity. Excepting Francesco Dall'On garo,member of Parliament for Fainl i, and a few others, a majority of tho best men of Italy seem to be united mtlio conviction that Venice can never again become a com mercial city. It has, therefore, boon proposed by Francesco Padovani, a well known and far-sighted Venetian patriot, that the entire people of Italy shall agree to mako a national museum of tho unique city, of which the Latin race is justly so proud. Tho geographical, artistical, and historical attractiveness of tho city are em inently favorable to tho idea, and it is by many believed that its adoption would secure to the Adrian metropolis, within a more in tellectual and refined sphere, a position in some respects analogous to that ot Paris pre vious to tho late war. There is no question concerning tho ability of tho people and tho “Hundred Cities' 7 of Italy, if they shall so decide, to make Venice tho most glorious art museum over known. Many of the ablest Italian thinkers regard this as the probable destiny of tho famous Queen of the Sea, aud it would afibrd a relatively fair compensation—as this world goes—for the grave misfortunes of tho past eighty j'ears, if the Venetians could so employ the remaining results of their former supremacy as to constitute Venice tho City Museum of tho world. In such an event the apostrophe of the old republic to its patron saint —"Pax Übi, Marcc, cvangcllsla nosier!” would have a significance which, while now, would perhaps no no less salisfactor3’ than the olden meaning. —An enraged photographer, named Henry Newman, did a strange thing in London the other da 3*. Ho was emploj-ed bj’ tho well known Messrs. Mayall, in .Regent street, as a taker of pictures. Lately he became neg lectful ot his duties, and, after some unheed ed cautions, he received notice that his ser vices, after a given date, would be dispensed with. At tho same time ho was told by his employers that if ho wished to go into busi ness on Lis own account out of Loudon the> r would assist him. On this Newman wont to the galler3 T lifter business hours, aud, getting quite alone into tho studio, smashed with a hammer all tho lenses attached to tlie cam eras, and cut to pieces with a knife all tho backgrounds. In a few minutes ho had de stined property worth so,ooo. That done, he went straight home, took a dose of cyanide of potassium, and was subsequently found quite cold and dead in his chamber. —A suicide under singular circumstances is reported from Vienna, that of a M. Gustave Kozokeu, a very skilful mechanician of that city, who by indushy aud talent had acquir ed a valuable custom amoug tho Viennese aristocracy. He was lately commissioned by an Austrian Count to make for him a clock which should be an exact model of tho fa mous automatic clock of tho Strasbourg Cathedral, for which ho was to bo paid ISjOCO francs. Everything progressed well ■with the work up to a certain point; all tho accessories were complete, with the ex ception of one portion of tho mechanism of the clock, whereby tho machinery should bo set in motion. Although he worked faithfully at tho clock endeavoring to this defect, Ko/.ekcn failed to ac complish his desire. A profound melanchol3’ in consequence seized upon him, which his wife and children in vain sought to remove; Ins mind lost its balance, and it ODJ3* needed the crowning catastrophe, that, by an un fortunate accident, he one da>' broke some part of tho works of tho clock that ho hoped to make the chef d’mirre of his life, to.drivo the despairing man to suicide. Ho was found one d«3 r in his workshop d3’insr in agony from tho effects of sulphate of silver that "ho had swallowed. This suicide pro duced a great impression among tho artistic circles ot Vienna, in which the unfortunate man was well known. REMOVALS. CiilSFilflMCO. REMOVAL.

Tlic Cause and Cure of Con- Theprimarycau.se of Consumption Is derangement of the digestive organs. This derangement produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. By as-imiiatiou I mean that process by which tin nutriment of tho food is converted into blood, and thence into the solids of the body. Persons with digestions thus Impaired having the slightest predisposition to pulmonary dis. case, or if they take cold, will be very liable to have Consumption of the Lungs In some of Us forms; and I hold that it will be impossible to to euro any case of Consumption -without first restoring a good digestion and healthy asfimllalion. The very first thing to be dono is to cleanse the stomach and bowels from all diseased mucus and slime which are clogging these organs so that they cannot perform their func tions, and then rouso up and restore the liver to a healthy action. For lids purpose, the surest and best remedy Is Schcnck's Mandrake Pills. These pills clean the stomach aud bowels of all dead and morbid alimo that is causing disease and decay in tho whole system They will clear out the liver of all diseased bllu that has accumulated there, and rouse it up to a new and healthy action, by which natural and hcaltfhy bile is secreted. The stomach, bowels, and liver aro thus cleansed by the use of Schenck’s Mandrake Pills but there re mains In the stomach au excess of acid, tho organ is toipid, and tho appetite poor. In the bowels, tho lac tealsaro weak, and reijmring strength aud support. It Is In a condition like this that Schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valuable remedy ever tils* covered. It is alkaline, aud its use will neutralize all excess of acid, making the stomach sweet aud fresh; It will give permanent tone to this important organ, and create a good, heart}* anpetite, aud prepare the system for the first process ot a good digestion, and ultimately make good, healthy, living blood. Af ter tide preparatory lrcatment.l' wlmt remains to euro most cases of consumption is the free aud per severing use ol Schonck's Finmoule Eynip. The Pul monic J?vnip nourishes tho system, purihes tho blood, and is reacllv absorbed into the circulation, and thcnco distributed to the diseased lungs. There it ripens all rum hid matters, whether in the form or abscesses ortuberelc?, and then assists nature to ex- pel all tho diseased matter in the form of free ex pectoration, when once it ripens. It is then, by tho cieat healing andpmifying properties of Sebencas Pulmonic Svrup, that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound, and my patient is cured. The essential tiling to bo dono in curing Consump tion Is to get up a good appetite and a good digestion, so that the bony will grow in fiesh and got strong. If a person has diseased lungs, a cavity or abscess there, the cavity cannot heal, the matter cannot ripen, so long ns the system is below par. Wlmt is necessary to cure is a new order of things, a good appetite, a good nutrition, tbebody to grow In flesh and got fat; then Na turo Is helped, the cavities will heal, tho matter will npcu and be thrown off in large quantities, and tho person regain health and strength. This is the true and only plan to euro Consumption, and If a person is very bad. If tho lungs are not entirely destroyed, or even if one lung Is entirely gene, if there Is enough vi tality left In the other to heal up, there is hope. I have seen many persons cured, with only one sound lung, live and enjoy life toa good old ago. This is what Schenck's medicines will do to cure consump tion. They will clean out tho stomach, sweeten end strengthen it, get up a good digestion, and give nature the assistance she needs to clear the system of all the disease that is in the lungs, whatever the form may be. It Is important that, while using Schonck’a med icine?, care should be exercised not to take cold; keep in-doora in cool aud damp weather; avoid night air, and take out door exercise only in a genial and warm sunshine. Joseph Moore, Ja. I wish it distinctly understood that when I recom mend a patient to be careful in regard to taking cold while using my medicine*. I do so for a special rensm, A man who has but partially recovered from tbo effects of a bad cold is far more liable to a relapse than ene who has been entirely cured, and it is precisely the same in regard to consumption. Bo long as tlio lanes nre not peiiccllj* booled, just so long is there imminent danger of a full return of the disease. Htnca it is that I bo strennouslv caution pulmonary patients against exposing themetdves to an atmospuare tliat is not genial and pleasant Confirmed consumptives* lungs do a nines of sores, wldch tho least change of atmosphere will inflame. The grand secret of my success with my medicines con sists in my ability Co subdue lullammatiou instead of provoking it, as many of tho faculty do. An inflamed lung cannot with safetv to the patient bo exposed to the biting blasts of winter or the chilling winds r.f spring or autumn. It should .bo carefully shielded irom all irritating influences. Tho utmost caution should bo observed in every particular, as without It a cure under almost any circumstances la an Impossi bility. The person should bo kept on a wholesome and nu tritious diet- and all the medicines continued until th o body haa restored to it the natural quantity of flesh and strength. 1 was myself cured by this treament of the worst kind of consumption, and have lived to get fat and hearty these many years, with one lung mostly gone. I have cured thousands since, and very many have been cured bv this treatment whom I have never scon. About tlio Ist of January I expect to take possession of my new building at tlio northeast corner of Sixth and Arch-sts., where I shall be pleased to give advice to all who may require it. Full directions accompany all my remedies, so that a person in any part of tbo world can bo readily cured by p strict observance of the same. J. 11. bCHEXCK. M. D.. _ rhiladclphln.
