Attempted AttNfiNNinntlon of Detective Brooks ArreNtot a DiNtiller. At the Central Station yesterday, James Atwell (distiller) had a hearing on the charge of beiDg accessory before the fact to the attempt to murder Revenue Detective James J. Brooks. Dr. S. Wier Mitchell sworn I visited Mr. Brooks to-day. lie is much in tho same condi tion he was when I was examined a few days ago; he is doing very well, but is not yet out of tl linger. Cross-examined He complained of pain yes terday, nnd was conliucd to his bed. I. Lewis Wood sworn I reside at No. 133 Pine street; I know Mr. Atwell; I have seen John Keenan and have been in his place of business; on tho Saturday before tho Monday ou which Oillcer Brooks was shot I was in Kcenan's store in the morning; I had been there previously; on Saturday morning Georjjo Keenau and his bro ther were there; I saw person In the storo on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday; Mr. Stan ton, Mr. Atwell, and three others I did not know; I've seen Mr. Atwell and Mr. Stanton since and ono man in tho prison; I went there with a Mayor's oflleer aud identified tho man (Robert Hamilton) as one of the persons I saw in the store of Mr. Keenan; Mr. Atwell, when in the store, asked for 6ome money; young Mr. Keenan gave him Ecveral notes, and then Mr. Atwell said, "Come, let's take a ride," and they went out; I saw a pistol in Mr. Kcenan's store; it was loaded; after I was at the store on Saturday, Mr. Atwell gave mo a card to come to his distillery, aud show him a process to "ago" whisky; I reached the storo about half-past 9 or 10 o'clock; Mr. Atwell and Mr. Stanton were there; Mr. Atwell took me into the distil lery and up stairs, and ho showed mo tubs to make the experiment in, and I told him they would uot do; I then noticed that the distillery was shut 'up, and Mr. Atwell said that Brooks had done It; I went away and returned at half past 4 or 5 o'clock the same day; Mr. Atwell was not in, but came iu soon; ho said the vessels were not ready; Mr. Atwell then went up an fclley and returned with a man, the same man I saw in prison; Mr. Atwell called him up and counted out money, and said, "There is for you;" the man said, "That Is not enough;" Mr. Atwell said he would get more on Monda; the man had a pistol In his pants pocket; the man said, "Never mind, we'll get him out of the way;" some one was standing against the lamp-post, and Mr. Atwell gave him a watch and chain, aud said, "You keep that;" Mr. Atwell then went out and came in with auothcr man, aud he cave him a class of whisk v: the man bad a bluish coat ou, torn In the back; I have seen it since (coat shown) that Is tho oue; I waited a few minutes and Mr. Atwell walked off with tho man he gave tho watch to; I was at Keenan's store on Mondav: saw a man thern I snw In prison yesterday; I saw Atwell on Tuesday; he ?8k?2 5le if rd heard of the shooting of Brook; 1 .aid do; he answered the is shot; I asueu mm n ue was the man who seized the distillery, and ia c.iWl . ,11,1 i, , ther said lie U not live long, and we'll run whisky " T," vfv" Ul a previous cjavcrsatioa, Mr. Atweu earn urookg would not close another iii6iiiiery; uie iwo men were at the distillery.

It lIiiiprovmieiHH-Tlie F.n.t Wing-Tower flliiln Miilllln. The changes that were in progress iu the build ings of Lafayette College, Enston, at the time of the last commencement, aro resulting in great Improvements. The proposition to extend the main building was made about three years ago, and a plan was prepared by John McArthur, Jr., of this city, who suggested the erection of two wings, to be connected with the main structure by intermediate towers. The first imperative need, two years ago, was additional dormitories. Four Students' Homes were erected, and designated (beginning nt the west) Blair Hall, Newkirk Hall, Martlen Hall, nnd Powell Hall. Tho cost of constructing the three latter have lately been assumed by tho gentlemen whose family names they bear. The 'Fastoniau Building Fund" became available for tho east wing. The wing perhaps its future mime may be "Eastonian Hall" is 35 by 05) feet. A hall 20 feet high, covering the entire surface of the building, fills tho first floor, tho entrance being from the tower at the side. It may bo used temporarily as a general assembly room until the chapel Is built, but is intended ultimate!' to contain the cabinet of geology. It is wholly surrounded by a gallery six and a half feet in width, twelve feet above the lloor, so that the entire wall surface is available for shelving, to display the collections just commenced to be gathered. The further extension of the mineralogical cabinet, to which eleven thousand specimens have been added within the past three years, may also demand part of the space. Between the main and second stories, hollow panels in the exterior surface relieve the wall from dulncss; they arc faced with moulded irou tablets. The next lloor contains four rooms; one 3:i by 31, for classes iu Mechanics aud Ex perimental Philosophy, under the tuiliou of Prof. James W. Moore, M. D.: and one in the south front to be used as the President's room. Tho upper story affords a room 05 by 33 feet, for classej in mechanical drawing, well lighted, as required for this use, by 13 windows. For no purpose more than this has additional space been absolutely demanded. Instruction eaunot well be given, nor neat drafting be executed, in apartments deigned for other occupations, where jarring and dust must continually be en countered. The lloors derive their chief support from three wrought-iron girders, thirty-live icet Ion;;, eleven inches deep and half an inch thick, stayed by being bolted between iron side-girders. The corners are faced with sandstone quoins from the Hummellstown quarries, in Lebanon county. Fixtures for gas and hot air extend through the edifice. The tower that connects this wing with the centre contains a spiral staircase, and is i4 by 2i feet, rising 70 feet from tho paved area. Its dormant roof is supported by a pointed light iron railing. The windows are germinate, set in arched panels. The belfry is of the Norman order, enclosed. In it -swings tho old "IIol brook" bell, which ought now to bo relieved from its long service by substituting a college monitor of sweeter tone and heavier weight. One of tho first irll'ts to Cornell L'niversitv was a chime of bells, the donation of Miss McGraw, a lady who resides so near as to share in tho daily enjoyment of their melody. ihemaiu building has been so "reconstructed as to remove every trace of its antiquity. A Mansard roof has enlarged the students' rooms on the fifth lloor, and made them tho most com modious in the edifice. With the widely-ex tended view that they command they oiter an attractive home to tho students who tenant them. A bread doorway and a beautiful covered portico at the chief entrance; a heavy cornice or me uoric oruer, surrounding tue whole building and the wing, aud the insertion of a frets stone water-table between tho first story and tho priucipal floor, with a thorough painting, wituiu ana without, nave obliterated the less desirable features of increasing age. The inner stairways, worn with nearly forty years of continual'lreading, have given place lo a suusiauiiai cyiiuuei siaiiease, niiu steps ui oiled North Carolina pine, and rauiugot oiled black walnut, too eletrant to invito the vandal touch ot the school-boy Kmic or oi tue deiacinj: pencil. The mheadamized drive located by Donald G Mitchell ("lk Marvel!") has begun to display its winding course near tho Students Homes. 1 he cottage mult on tiio eastern part oi tue tract presented by John I. Blair will be ready for the occupancy of Professor Youngniau next month. This, added to tue cost ot tue iourteen buildings already adorning tne college premises, increases the value of the real estate to .200,000. The pecuuiarv resources of the institution may amount to $340,000 more; beside which it pos sesses fine collections m tne natural sciences, and apparatus of much value in the line of chemistry, astronomy, auo metallurgy. The good repute of the students of Lafayette, and their marked success in obtaining positions in life: the great increase in the number iu attendance; and the distinction ana uevotedness of its Faculty, with Its bright prospects of con tinued growth in Importance and usefulness, may well cause all our community to rejoice in tho prosperity of Lafayette College, aud use their endeavors to promote its interests. Tlie IEoHi'coi" ollnrfs. Among my friends is a melancholy philoso pher who sheds tears at every measure that has been adopted within the last ten years for the overturn or time-worn ana decayed institutions When he has an errand to go, he is very careful in clioosiag the darkest streets, where tho pave ment is continually damp; tho good old man then thinks himself in "his own Paris." lie clings tenaciously to the customs nnd practices of what is styled the "good old times." The very mention of the word "progress" gives him convulsions, seeing, as he does, in progress no thing more than pernicious changes, and he Is an enemy of motion. When I meet him in tho street ho rushes to ward me, presses my hands, aud, embracing me, says, iu a voice smothered by tears, "Everything Is passing away, my dear friend, oh, every thing!" This melancholy refrain has, among other faults, that of not being quite new. "Ves," I reply, in a tone of indifference, "it is true; everything Is passing away, and so are we; all things are changing and renewing, yet 1 do not see why we should be inconsolable on that account." The friend of whom I speak is a bourgeois, and, on understanding hfm, his lamentations w ill not be taken amiss. The genuine bourgeois, as known to those who lived from 1S20 to 1840, was a unique being, suiting his name so well that it was a question whether ho had been in vented for It or tho name for him, of which but very few specimens exist to-day. The Parisian of the class referred to was a retail dealer In linen or laces, always wore tho 6amo coat (chesnut color, with yellow buttons), and carried a silver-headed cane, received from his uucle on the completion of his apprentice ship behind tho counter. His spouse was a mighty woman; his servant girl, Jeanuetto, had a mouth stretching from ear to ear when she laughed; his daughter was always christened Marie. Ho was ti humble citizen, proud of being a Frenchman, and looking with contempt on ccn tllng forUzu. Sometime he would eulor the National Guard, which procured hlmgrMt consideration in the district where he lived, aril gave Llmn opportunity oi having his portrait painted In his uniform to hang up In the siiting room. In matters of religion he was somewhat of a skeptic, being a believer In Voltaire and several other great men. and dolling his hat whenever their names were pronounced. He had his convictions and his prejudices, too, and it was impossible to turn him aside from an opinion. He rend his paper carefully, from the beading to the editor's name -on the last page, and did not doubt for a moment that every line contained therein was true as the fact of the sun's rising in the east and setting in the west. His ambition was moderate; he dreamed of being independent at fifty, with an income of seven or eight thousand francs, and It made him shudder to think of the enormous risks Incurred by those who were dally specula ting at the Bourse. His amusements, too. were modest. A good breakfast on Sunday, in the company of his friends, was his delight, and. according to tho season of tho year, he invaria bly brought with him either a "melon or some caviar, which was always received with loud cheers. While eating of tho dessert, he would venture to relate a little 1oke or anecdote, his wife never failing to blush and look sharply at him. In summer, he might bo met in the woods environing Paris, red, dripping with perspira tion, marching ahead of his family, laden with a oasKtt oi eaiawes, nappy. The citizen must not, "however, bo confounded with Monsieur Prudhomme. That type is of a later origin. Monsieur Prudhomme speaks. makes long perorations, tyrannizes over Ids wile, bores his friends, has his secret, and is, in facr, nn altogether different character. The true bourgeois still has his historiographer. It is Paul dc Kock. How droll his scenes and pictures arc ! Paul dc Kook's bouniiois regu larly loses his wig, nnd can never find his pocket-handkerchief when ho needs It. But what lias become of the world? The old bonrnrois has disappeared: onnoslte mv house lives a butcher, whoso wife plays tho piano and sings, nnd his son is a Etudcnt at the Polytechnic insunuc. "All things arc passing awav!" so often savs my friend perhaps the last' bu'irgr.oi. MARINE TELEGRAPH. 'or additional Marine. Xrv ,u First Pajc.
