The whole structure is enclosed by French root', toicompassed by a profusely ornamented balustrade. The four sides or the 'hill :ire divided by gable and gablet win dows, enriched with ornamentation.— The roof is covered with slate tiles. A wing projects froin the north aide of the building, rises nearly to the height or the !..t.0 . 01111 story, and is surmounted by a. cupola light ; this is the exterior or the tint gallery. I laVing 1.111:ell :t rapid survey or the exterior of the building, we proceed to take 1111 inspection of the internal arrangement and decoration, commenving at the grand entrance, the door or Nvhiell is 'noodled With Orliti• int , lital lights.

The lipartwoot,, or the ilrst, second, and third floors are or uniform dimension and number, and the plaster modeling or t he ceilings is exactly simi lar - thus leaving very little scope for the invention or the decorative artist, whom We observe 11110 111,11 conlitelled to form the variety of the ceilings by contrasting colors rather than design. The limos or the, three stories are formed or Italian outride. ' l'lle nomlti ings or the lirst and secnittl stories are also or Italian marble. From the grand vestibule on the tilt floor to the left opens the Meal:fast room, which, with its panels decorated ill yellmv and gull With an ornamented margin 11l crimson ,11111 gilt, glowing ill the southern sun light streaming through the windmvs, seems flooded in golden light. 011 the right .f tile entrance is the 1'1,111( inn 11111111.

Its nj ,,, s ie e wind o w s face Firth avenue and Thirty-rourth street. On this room the eolorist has indulged in all the magic tints, wttlt the absence ,if glare, with exceeding ',unity and freshness of color, retleoling instead of absorbing light, retidering it particularly beautiful by evening light, and its bland mellowmess of tone is very charming,. The drawing, anatomy, and expressson show the my thological judgment of the artist. Lead ing from the grand saloon is the billiard room of :‘I r. Stewart, Iris rued in green :ind gold, with har monious margin. From this we enter the picture , Jiite gallery, whieli is hung with paintings by eminent foreign and Aineriemi arti , ts. The north s ide of this gallery is allotted to Atnerican art ; the opposite and east and west ends are to foreign. range of drrara live heads adorn the surmount. They are portraits of eminent. French and American artists, and tire correspond ingly plaeed te,0,4 thew are Rosa Itonlieur, Taut I.tiroehe, Messoider, Criurch, Ilierstailt, ill l oril and HUM i ngton. Mr. Stewart's agents commis -citified to .t , 121111 works of art from foreign countrys, are constantly remitting paint ings and statuary for this spurious gal lery, which are accepted, or !ejected and returned, as they bear favorable or ad verse criticism front competent . judges. Rost lion heur's lbws.. Fair, and a com panion subject of (jattle, by her brother, Ilu,tave Itotilieur, occupy the Space allotted to paintings :it each end of the gallery. Church's Niagara' occupies prominent place on the American side. Ilierstadt is represented by - large works. " Rocky Mountain Views," and many of the already famous paintings of resi dent artists of the metropolis here find place. }laving viewed the Inuit] apart ments of the first floor, we ascend to the second story and first glance at the ele gantly appointed bath-rooms:1ml acces sories of solid rich dark wood, cue suite connecting With the sleeping and dress Mg apartments of Stewart, located fu the northwest angle of the building, and the other connecting with the dressing !Mil sleeping apartinell to oi l Mr. Stewart, adjoining.

It is to be devoted to the use of guests. 'File billiarti•rooni opening. front It Is decorated In dark blue and gold. The suite of rooms Immediately above those are designed especially fur the use of President Grant. 'cite dimen sions are the same. An entire absence of marble is observed in these apart ments. The decorations are simplified, and, in our opinion, are of far less mag nificence than the other apartments de scribed. A billiard-room also connects with this suite for the use of the General, and there is ono redeem ing feature to the plainness of these apartments, which undoubtedly the President will appreciate,namely, their accessibility to the wine room. All the rooms of this third story have mould ings of wood, painted to simulate white marble, and lit all of them ~the frescoes are simple, and vary In design and color.

LANCASTER, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 15, 1871 Parb Under Bombardment A Graphite Account. The Paris correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, writes as follows : PARIS, Jan, 15.—1 inclose the official report of the casualties occasioned by the bombardment from the sth current, when the first projectiles fell within the walls, up to the night of the 13th and 11th, Inclusively. What may be the result, In killed and wounded, of the last twenty-four hours' shelling, we do not yet itnoW,bUt the cannonade during the night has been occasionally furious —which means it was intermittent. It would really appear as though the Prus sians proceed upun a methodical princi• pie In their attack. They bang away from dark till ill or 11, then stop sud denly. Within this brief space of time people compose themselves to rest. The cold is intense ; there Is no wood, no coal, no fuel of any kind, to be obtain ed, and oil Is dear; so folks go to bed early as a measure of economy. They have scarcely dropped into their first sleep than—bang! Ming ! clatter, crash, dust, smoke, and the rest—a shell—per- Imps two! And this goes on through the small hours, when comparative gulet '&4m-established. But this rain of 1416,111,41 Ilia continuous. riometitnes a lu - 11 — of half an hour—an hour—takes place, when the storm of iron hail re el/Mmences with five-fold intensity.— Of eourse it is understood that the ob ject of the besiegers is to harass and to terrify, and no surer means could be adopted, provided the population would only be harassed and terrified. But so far as terror is concerned, the calcu lation of the enemy is erroneous. The imperturbability of the people in tile bombarded districts is something won derful. It is to the last degree stoical. Of course, folks who are lifted on to the door by a bomb, which explodes ruder their bed, are "harassed," and so are the Gunilies which are compelled to migrate from south to north, at a moment's no tice. Nevertheless, these victims of the bombardment do not flinch. 'They cleneh their teeth and suffer, but "no surrender" is their last word. In this there is no exaggeration. A stranger who should be dropped upon the Boule vards, say front a balloon, would not re alize he is in the midst of Paris, be sieged. I Ie would, if previously ac quainted with it, observe a difference in its :HIRT!. Ile would see shops closed ; the large thoroughfares thinly pimpled ; few omnibuses and hackney-coaches circulating; awl five out of six adult males, in almost every variety of Military costume; but he would discern no symp toms of uneasiness, still less of terror. I le would remark motley groups besieg ing, in long tiles, the butchers' and the bakers' shops, and the cun(ines inuni ciptles, early in the morning., often at tnid-day, and in the afternoon ; but he would be unable to record any sign of impatience, still less any of rebellion or rt volt, even ill the poorest neighbor hoods. At night lie would find the str.?ets, the ' , tied, the /001(10, the private houses. dimly lighted. He might lie surprised to discover that breakfasts and , di II tiers are not easily obtainable; and vet more astounded would he be at the prices charged in the establish ments still open, and which still man age to turni=p these meals. He would certainly resent paying double the price i for heavy, lumpy, gray-colored bread, formerly charged for that white com pound he had been accustomed to eat ; and he might be startled on being in formed that no white bread is to be had, because the bakers are prohibited from manulaeturing it, and Indeed are not supplied with flour of the requisite qual ity; but lie would be the almost only grumbler. From these, and many other facts, he would infer that the conditions of life here are abnormal ; but were he to judge of the actual situation of Paris by the attitude of the population, he would not believe it exposed to the tor flits of a siege. lie would SM. 1115/1/10 going about their ordinary bu-iness, much the same as usual ; the ~Vc, still thronged ; the irrepressible rrL.i,i Nu vermouth, and bitters being imbibed the everlasting dominoes awl 1111`55 111111 1/111.11a11111111011, I the amusements of the hour well dressed ladles promenading; child- roil playing In the meager snit shine—life, in fact, not interrupted iu' Its course, just as If there were no Pros slim guns belching death and destruc tion into our midst, and we were not Imprisoned within a double chicle of fire and iron. It' he crossed the Seine, and visited the southern suburbs, he would meet with evidenees of the prox imity of all enemy intent upon mis chief, in the damage done to our putille building+. lie would see big Miles pounded in the walls of the dwelling houses, shops made bomb-proof by meansof barrivades of stones, turd earth, and bags of sand, and he would have to gain access to them by a zig-cog; trees rent in twain, and the boulevards thus despoiled of their chief ornament; he would run against whole households etnigrati tiro with their goods and chat tels • he might, perhaps, come across a Slllllll group of thee or four citizens con veying to the nearest ambulance a dead woman, or a dead child, or a wounded man ; he Wright, even, be startled by the explosion of a big shell within a few yards of the spot where he is standing; nevertheless he would notice no essen tial ditrerence in the general attitude of the i habi tau ts of the bombarded neigh borhood its compared with that of the occupants of other quarters, and wquld huru to record the absence of anything like terror, even of fear. Yet, what a lamentable disclosure does the ./outitui Officia make this morning ! the period specified, ISII victims—of these. 31 killed, the remainder wound ed—olithe JL killed , 16 are children, 12 are women. Uf the 133 wounded, 21 are children, -h. tore women. The area bom barded embraces the entire southern suburbs of the city. The shells have fallen in every direction, spreading out like a fan from the Prussian batteries. and tending to the conclusion that the object has been Weever as wide a space as possible. It may not be the result of caleuiation—although the fact: are in favor of this conclusion that the hospitals, schools, churches, and pub lic buildings over which floats the white flag with the red cross, have been the chief objective points of the Prus sian shells. Up to the present thine, those lord the neighborhood in which they are situated have suffered most. It is said that our enemy entertained an impression that the Pantheon was a storehouse for ammunition, mid, there fore, they fired at it; but (len. Troche sent \I. he Moltke a messenger to disa buse him of this notion. Nevertheless, that building is still a target for the Prussian shells, so there can now r/- main no doubt the enemy's artillerymen have orders to continue the fire of their batteries upon the same 'mints. I have not seen the fact officially announced, but the statement has found its way into all the papers that, in conse quence of the bombardment of the Val-de-Unite, which was full of French wounded, (letters! Trochu has ordered their removal, and the sub stitution of Prussian sick and wounded 111111 prisoners, and 11115 111 formed M. de 'Moltke of the change. You will see by the extracts I have already sent—dupli cates of most of which- inelose—that the physicians and sir rgeons attached to our hospitals and asylums have protest ed against the methodical barbarity of the Prussian Commander-In-Chief, In directing the fire of his batteries upon edifices occupied by children, by de mented men and women, by incurables, by lying-in women, and by the aged and destitute of both styes. Another has gone forth from the Curator of the Museum of the Jardin-des-Plantes, of which the magnificent collec tion of orehideous plants (valued at 600,0(10 francs) has been destroyed —a collection unrivaled In any part of the world, and which It will require many years ter replace, If the rehabita tion can over be accomplished. The loss to botanical science Is immense. The protest of the members of the Diplo matic corps and of the Consular service, Is based upon the right of neutrals to receive intimation of an intended bom bardment, In order that they may have the opportunity of quitting time city.— The document which has been trans• milted to M. de Moltke asserts this right after laying stress upon the fad that several citizens belonging to neutral Powers are already victims of the bom bardment. It also points out that women, children, and wounded persons have been killed ; but it is not expected any of their protests will produce the least result. 'Phi bombardment contin ued through the whole of last night, and at this hour of writing—mid-day—' our forts and bastions have not ceased firing. It is one continuous roar. PARIS, Jan. 16.—Yesterday I visited the southern districts. The wind set in from the southwest, and brought In a steady roar from the forte and ramparts on that side. From the Trocarkro the flushes of the guns In the Prussian bat teries could be distinctly seen, retteld g from Montrouge to Mention and the re doubt of Itrimborion. Never was such an infernal din. Mont Valerion distin guished itself most particularly. If it was the young lady eintstened whom I saw mounted on her Iron car riage oa the summit of the forr when I was there, on the 2uth of November, who spoke yesterday to the Prussians, I can compliment her upon the strength of her voice. Like "Johnny (lilpin," she "carries weight." With out her stand, she tips the scale at 51 tons. Her mouth I+ 21 centimeters in width, or call it bore. ishe I. mount ed upon a movable platform, and coughs out prof eetiles weighing 29 kilograms each, which her strong breath propels to the terraces of Versailles and St. liermaln. They have [[,lumped down upon those spots more titan once, to the considerable astonishment of the non native intruders. Yesterday site was pounding. Montretoul, (larches, and Brimborion at a rate and with a vigor which left nothing to be desired. ;he has a step-sister, named Josephine, at the battery of the Point du .Jour, who was sending iron compliments in the same direction and with equal vivacity. The fire was continuous all along the line of the fortifications—as well as from the forts or Issy, Vanves, and Mon trouge—departing from the Seine to the bastions in the rear of the last named fort. I d., not think such a cannonad ing has been heard since the attack on the forts commenced. Making the best of my way toward the quarter of the Invalids, I reached the „6 , d loin , at Itrenelle. stnelis had fallen iu the great court-yard of the for ' mer building, Aithout doing much damage. The cupola remained intact; but thedlgittoirs were riddled with holes. Some distance further rut I saw a written notice posted within the iron-grated door of a butcher's shop, to the eirtaut that, in consult:cave of the bombard went, the dist) ibution of !neat, which should have taken plat^e that day, was postponed until next day—to-day. I found the Boulevard 41u Nom Paillasse pretty lively with people. but being within loin yards of the Western Sta tion—that is of the Left Hank N'orsailles Railway—a shell came cra,hing through the roof with a big bang, and I deemed it prudent to take another direction.— Hie inhabitants of the quarter were re moving their goods in wheelbarrows, hand-carts, and:trucks, or by hand. In the Rue du Bae, on the right coming down front the Rue de Sevres, and pro ceeding tow trd the quay, stood a small crowd opposite a house, No. I2S, a yen- I der of furniture. A shell had burst a small hole in the wall over the door, and had splintered and shattered the windows of the house immediately op -I)4,r:fly. These homies are in the very heal t of the Faubourg St. Germain. I had I Leery informed that the liovire do Chard..., in the Rue Jaeob,lharlialso been damaged, but this report was unfounded. I need notgointodetails but may saygen- entity, that although the lower portions of this neighborhood—those nearest the river—had been damaged by the furious bombardment of the previous night and of that day (yesterday), and circulation in the streets was really dangerous, I perceived no indications of terror in any of the districts I visited. The dome of I the Pantheon has a hurtle in it large enough to admit it small boy, and a cordon or National ;umiak pre vents the erowd Ira n t stationing un the southern and tile western sides. The splendid and rare library of St. thenevicve, adjacent to the Feole de Droll, has not escaped the PrllSSitlll bombs. Every precaution has been taken to preserve the building and its contents from harm, but it has hig mpieces of its walls chipped Mr and two ules in its roof. Theshells were falling so thick and fast in the Rue IraillCtard, I did not deem it prudent to pursue any ' further try peregrinations ward. (1.3 •ilay II vro Two simple little incideids come to us in our exchangeN, which seem to us al least as well ;worth the telling its the latest history of adultery and murkier. One is the story of a poor acrobat out \Vest, who was dashed from his giddy height to the ground ; and who, when the crowd gathered al out him, raised himself, mangled and bleeding, to gasp out entreaties for them to save the two girls left unsupported on thetrapcze. 11 refused to be lifted until they wet ,e res cued, and in the agony of his fall anti shuttered limbs was the only man in the large audience who forgot his own necessities and had the cool presence of mind to direct how they should be brought down. When t h ey were safe, pain got the better of him, and lie Was carried as dead Ml' the stage. The wo men were strangers to him. The other story is of a little girl who wandered on to the track of tile Dela ware Railroad as a freight train of nine teen cars was approaching. As it turn ed the sharp lop of the grade, opposite St. Georges, the engineer saw the child for the first time, bloc " Down brakes," and reversed the engine. But it was too late to slacken its speed in time, and the poor baby got up and, laughin;; ran to meet it. " 1 totti the conductor," says the engineer, "ii he could jump off the engine ;hid, running ahead, pick the child up before the engine reached her, he might save her life, though it would risk ihs own, which he did. The engine was within one foot of the child when he secured it, and they were both saved. I would not 11111 the same risk of saving :t elLild again he way of experiment for all ;Newcastle county, for nine out of ten might 11111 escape. Ho took the child to the lane. sail she walked to the house, and a lit tle girl was coining after it when we left." The honest engineer, hav- Mg finished his day's run, sits down the next morning and writes this homely letter to the father of the child, "in order that it may be more carefully watched in future," :Hid thanking (hr.! "that himself and the baby's mother slept tranquilly last night, and were spared the life-long panes of remorse." It does not occur to him to even men tion the conductor's 1111111 e, who, he seems to think, did no uncommon thing in risking his own life, unseen and un noticed, on the solitary rad, for a child whom lie would never probably see again. The moral of the story to him and to the good clergyman who pub lisheS it was, apparently, that mothers should keep theirchildren oft' the tracks. It seems to us to have a different meaning, which every man can read for himself. We give the simple little story a place, therefore, among the his tories or the war, and murders, and rec ords of the l'olice Court, for no practi cal lesson, hut just as one would hang a bit of green landscape on his wall on a Winter day. After all, in spite of the transient ruin, there is under all a :7,•utn liter and God. It is worth while to re mind ourselves of that now and then. We believe, too, with the plain-speak ing engine -driver, that the conductor did nothing more than eight out of ten manly young fellows would have done In his position. Police reports and the daily press bring the murders and the IlleallaCSSVS of the world so constantly to the surface on week days and the clergy open our eves to human depravi ty so clearly on ..I.ltolas, that we are apt to overlook' the actual honor and im tegrity in the mass of ordi liar:: people about us. We grow so bilious in our re forming zeal that It Is worth while to he shaken into a more Christian charity, and convinced that it is not a matter of wonder to Ilnd a Bayard In the pour conductor of a freight-train, or a [mut in it.clrcus-rider.—.N.

The Inventor of Champagne In his work on Champagne, its Ilk. tory, Manufacture, Properties," Jlr Charles Jovey gives the following ac count of an inventor to whom the world has been Indebted for so much ex hilara• thin : "'l'o the renowned royal Monal , tery of sc. Peter's, at Hautvilliers, sparkling champagne is said to owe its origin. This monastery formerly gave (mays Its historian,) nine archbishops to the See of Rheims, and twenty-two abbes to vi). rious celebrated monasteries. One of ; monks I Benedictines), Father Perignon, who died in has the reputation of being the first tN gather the wines from various districts to mix anti make them sparkling. Before this period chum ! pagne teas in good repute, but it is not probablu that the selentffic treatment requisite to produce what is now known as champagne was understood pr Irrr to the lust century. We have it on record that in 1:07 Vinceslaus, King of Bohemia, on coming to France to newt tiate a treaty with Charles VI., arrived at Rheims ' and tasting for the first time the wine of Champagne, spun out his ' diplomatic errand to the latest possible moment, and then gave up all that teas required of him in order to prolong his stay, getting intoxicated on champagne daily before dinner. And we learn, likewise, that among the potentates of Europe who were partial to this wine was our own Henry VIII., who had a vineyard at Ay, where he kept s super ; intendent in order to secure the genuine production for his table. Mention is likewise made of Francis 1., Pope Leo X, anti Charles V., of Spain, as reserv ! ing for their use vineyar Is in Cham pagne, The celebrity of this WHIP, then, is not of modern date "liar it is to the jolly monk 1)010 Pt•r ignon we are indebted for the enliven ing qualities for which it is now so pop ular. Ile was chosen pro,rireur of the . great abbey for the purity of Ids taste and the soundness of his head, and devo tion to hie occupation does not appear to have shortened his days, for he lived to the ripe old age of four-score years. His chief duty was to take charge of the vineyards (of which the monastery pos sessed the broadest and the most favor ably situated in the whole country) to receive from the neighboringcultivators the tithes of the wines they made (their due to the spiritual lords of the abbey), to press the grapes from the monastic vineyardsand blend this wine with those that had come to the abbey as tithes.— ' In the decline of life, Father Perig nom' says an old chronicler, being blind, ordered the grapes of different vineyards to be brought to hint, recog nized each kind by the taste, and said, you must marry (mix) the wine of this grape with that of another." In the course of his wine mixings and blend ing of one quality with another, hum Perignon, who had already by his skill raised the wine of the holy fathers of the monastery* to the greatest perfection, discovered tlie process of making the wine effervescent, and as It was utterly impossible to keep it in this condition by the old process of a bit of flax or wool steeped in oil, which was the only stop per then in use, he further added to his celebrity by the employment of the cork, which he secured with a string." Singular Ornament A brooch worn by the countess of K— has recently been the subject of conversation in an eminent company of polished nobility, who are now exiles in Paris. Encircled by twenty brilliants upon a dark blue ground of lapis lazuli, and protected by a glass in front, may be seen—what? A portrait? A lock of hair? No, neither the one nor the oth er; but only four-bent pins wrought to gether in form of a star. 'Fite history of this singular ornament Is contained in the following communication : The Count K---- was, some years ago, In his own country, suspected of being too much inclined to politics, and was, con sequently, one night, without examina tion or further Inquiry, torn from the bosons of his family by police officers, conveyed to a fortress in a distant part of the country, and thrown inb , a lark, damp dungeon. Days, weeks, months passed away without his icing brought to trial. The unhappy man saw himself rubbed of every succor. In the stillness of death and thndarkness of the grave lie felt not only his strength failing hint, but also his mind wandering. An unspeak able anguish took hold upon him. Ile, who feared not to appear before his judges, now trembled before himself. Conscious of his danger, lie endeavored to Ilnd something to relieve himself from the,double misery of idleness and loneliness, and thus preserve him front a terrible insanity. Four pins, which happened accidentally to be in his coat, had rortunately escaped the notice (tithe Those were to be the means of deliv erance to his spirit. lie threw the pins upon the earth, which alone was the floor of his gloomy dungeon, and then employed himself in seeking for them in the darkness. \Vhen, after a tire some search, Le succeeded in finding them, he threw them down anew, and so, again and again, mliii he renew his voluntary task. All the day long, sit ting, lying or kneeling, he groped about with his hand until he found the pins which he hail intentionally scattered. This fearful, yet beneficial recrea tion continued for six years. Then, at last, a great political event opened suddenly the doors of his prison. The count had just scattered his pins, but he would not leave his cell without taking with him his little instruments of his own preservation from despairandinaml mmi,,, lie soon found them, for now time clear, bright light of day beamed in through the doorway of his dungeon.-- As tim e count related this sail story to the countess, she seized the pins with holy eagerness. Those crooked, yellow brass pins, which, during six fearful years, hoof been scattered and gathered alternately, were become to her as pre cious relics; and now, set in a frame of brilliants worth f. 400, as a treasure or much greater value, she wears them on her Bosom. MIME lbsintlie,' which simply means " wormwood," is made by the distilla tion of a number of plants—the tops of wormwood, flag-root, anise seed, angeli ca root, leaf of the litany Orifiltllloit die•- fruitin, and sweet marjoram. All these are macerated and placed in alcohol of very high proof, and permitted to re main eight days, when the mixture is distilled, half an ounce of the essential oil of anise being added to each three gallons. The effects of the constant use of this villainous liquor, which a friend once said, "is kept in glass bottles sim ply because it would cat through the staves of an ordinary barrel in fifteen minutes," are summed up in a sentence by Dr. Aletot 'as a general poisoning of the system, which terminates in insanity and death. Among the symp toms which precede the final re sult, are uncertainty and indecision of the muscular system, easily recognized by contractions and trembling of the forearm, of the hand and the interior members. Strange sensations are ob served, such us tingling and pricking of the skin, heaviness of the limbs and numbness, the hand suddenly seizing and letting go any object within Its reach. The patients are weak in the legs, and in standing, require something to lean upon; the knees trembleato d bend; a general air rf sadness and heaviness settles upon the features; the lips, the tongue, and muscles of the face are tremulous; the eye is sunken awl sorrowful;; the skin 11.4,31111104 a yel lowish hue; dyspepsia and wasting away follow; the mucous membrane becomes of a violet color ; the hair comes out, and the entire framework of a man falls Into in premature old age and dilap idation. Sue!' are the bodily symptoms of absinthe poison, and the mental troubles progress concurrently with the disorders of theuscular system. Owing to the progress 9fthe disease of the brain, the sleep of the patient Is disturbed ; he has terrible dreams and night-mares, anti sudden waking, as though he had been shot from a cannon ; lie is troubled with hallucinations, illusions, blinding of the eyes and hypochondria ; exhibits a very marked embarrassment, and dwelling upon words when speaking, and constantly decreasing strength of Intellect. The Bristol Cnirier thinks that flume time in the future a new State will he formed out of East Tennesee and West ern North Carolina and Southwest Vir ginia.

It not only illustrates the position of Duluth In the United States, but exhibits its relations with all created things. It even goes furth er than this. It lifts the shadowy veil of futurity and alfords,ns a view of the golden prospects of Duluth, far along the dim vista of ages yet to come.
