Tub Puhlic Buildikos at Washington.—We notice Iiy A:n Atlantic newspapers that extensive alterations are being made in several oftlie public buildmgs at Washington. Proimbly tbe most exp^nsiv.; ninl difficult improvemeiit is lhat of the dome of tlie capitol. Tbe Washioglou Star tlius speaks of i : — Tbe new dome of the capitol looms up, day by day, tboiljfh it has not yet assumed anything like the outline and proportion it will take when completed The prewent care ol the architect and workmen is to secure proper supports for the immense weight ot material lo be used in the con strnction of tbis fnmiense dome. The vast size of tne brackets, forming the base of tbe dome, strike '.be beholder witli wonder. Each bracket Weigh* 7,0*40 -por. d, and tlieir aggregate weight 504.Out) pounds. Tne br ck wall in wbicb the bracket- ;>re fastened is of great strength and sol'diiy, and is to be raised to i,b( height ol thirty feet, i'ora:- ing tlie 6reh upon wbicb the iron columns of tbe i}nn-i-' w 1, rest. The number of columns lorming tbe circuit of lhe sup- rstrur'ure is thirty six. and each Column is supported by two brackets. These columns a;e twenty feet in height, and weigh five ions each. Tlie total weight of iron compi sing the dom- is estimated at fifteen million pounds or seven thousand Qve hundred tons! It would seem lhat such a poneWous nrss of iron would enevi- tably cmsli to powder any supports thi t tbe in- geauiiy ol man could d-'vhe ; but, ou the contrary, we an- told that tbe foundation* of the uew dome bave a sustaining power more than ten times as great as they will be called on to endure, CilAMl'AGS'l-:—TltK liEST BftiNDS MADF, IN NEW York.— At the present time in New YorkttVre are thirteen esial lishmeuts whicb manufacture champagne, or, in other words, converts still wines inlo pparftllog ones ; for no process has yet been discovered for producing artificial wine which possesses the flavor and other qualities of tbe product of the grape. These manufacturers use for iheir purpose a light French, or sometimes, il sparkling flock is to be produced, a German wine. Tbe wine, after being prepared by pr cipi- tating nl! sulisti-nces wbicb would, wheu charged with carbonic acid, be deposited in tbe bottle, is subjected toa high pressure of carbonic acid by machinery, such as is used for the manufacture ol sodn water, and, after being well agiteted in contact with the gas, ia bottled under pressure witb a very ingenious machine. At a festival glVeu in New Y'ork to a distinguished statesman, the wine furnished was all made in this city, and was pronounced of excellent quality by numbers who imagined they were drinking genuine "Hettteeck." Within the past yenr vast improvemenis have taken place in the manufactuie ol tlie article.—Journal of Com-mt Where Docs AV.iod Comr From! If we were to Uke up a handful of soil and examine it under the microscope, we should probably find it lo contain Iragrnents of wood, SmaU broken pieces of branches or leave3, or other parts of the tree. If we should examine it more mechanically, we should find yet more strikingly, that it was nearly the same as wood in its composition. Perhaps, then, it may be said, the young plant, obtains its wood (rom the earth in which it grows I The followii g experiment will show whether this conjecture is likely to be correct or not. Two hundred pounds of earth was dried in an oven, and afterwards put into an earthern vessel; the earth was then moistened with rain water, and a willow tree, weighing five pounds, waa planted therein. During tbe space ol five years, tbe earth was catefvilly watered witb rain water or pure water. Tbe willow grew and flourished, and to prevent the earth from being mixed with fresh earth or din being blown upon by tbe winds, it was covered with a metal plate full of very mi Dttteh'lea which would exclude everything but air from getting access to the earth below it. After growing.in tbe earih for five years, the tree was removed, and. on being weighed, was found to bave gained one hundred and sixty four pounds, as it now weighed one hundred andsixty^ nine pounds. And this estimate did not include the wiight of the leaves or dead branches which in five years fell from the tree. Now came the applicatii n of the test. Was all is obtained from the earth? It had not sensibly diminished ; but, in order to make the experiment conclusive, it was again dried in an oven in the balance. Astonishing was lbe result—the earth w ighed only two ounces less than it did when lbe willow waa firsl planted in it! yet the tree had gained one hundred and sixty-four pounds! Manifestly then, the wood thus gained in this space of time was not obtained from the earth ; we are therefore compelled lo repeat our question, "Where does the wood come from?" We are I ft with only two alternatives ; the water with wbich it was refreshed, or tbe air on which it lived. It cau be clearly shown that it waa nol due to the waler ; we are consequently unable to resist the perplexing and wonderful conclusion- that it was derived from air. Can it be? Were those great ocean spaces of wood, which are as old as man's introduction into Eden, and wave in their vast but solitary luxuriance over the fertile hills and plains*.of South Aireriea, w-ere these ali obtained Irom the thin air? Were the part cles which unite to form our battle-strips, old England's walla of wood, ever born the world about, not only on wings of air- but actually as air themselves? Was the firm table on which I write, tbe chair on which I sit. lhe floor on which I tread, aud much ofthe liouse in wbich I dwell, onre in a form which I could uot as much as lay my finger on, or grasp in my hand? Wonderlnl truth ! all this waa air.—Lifeof a Tree. M_moFA..TUi.__ ur Countkiikkit Wines.—Tbe following singular fact is recorded by the Paris correspondence ot the Journal of Cionmirce :— Looking just now at a list of joint stock companies. I was struck by *''e title of the General Company of Factitious or Counterfeit Wines, formally sanclioned by the Prefect of Police. It is stated in the advertisement that no grape juice or alcoftil is used; but the ingredients are not specified. The capita) of the company is two miliioi bancs; ihe shares are twenty thousand in nuinbei; Ihe product is sold at irom four to eight sous the quart, and has tbe taste, the appearance, and "all the hygienic qualities of the good and na oral wines -' The company haa beeu quite successful ; tbe dividends have been six per cent., besides an adequate reserve. Tbe wines are subjected to chemical analysts hy authority. A Beautiful Allusion. Mr. Win'lhrop. of Massachuseits, in his address at tbe late Musical Festival in Boston, alludes lo the contemplated sub-marine telegraph in these words: Ou Christmas Eve, in tbe year 1814, the treaty of peace between England and the United States was signed at Ghent—a worthy commemoration of that blessed event when the herald angels were singing to tbe shepherds on the plama ol Bethlehem, '■ Peace on earih, good will towards men." But that treaty was uot known on this side of the ocean for six or seven weeks after its date. Tbe great battle of New Orleans, as you well know, w. s fought at least two weeks after tbetiea'yof peace was signed. Our modern system of railroads and steamers aud telegraphs might have saved that effusion of fraternal blood, might have deprived individual heroes, might bave deprived our country and its history, of all the glory wbich belongs to that really great- victory. If that gi gantic Ocean Harp, which ia at this moment in process of beinir sfrung, whose deep diapason is destined to produce a more magical music on the sea than any mythology or modern fable ever ascribed to siren, mermaid, or Arion ; if the myste rious gamut of that profound submarine chord had been in successful operation (hen, as we hope it son will be, between 5t. Johns and Valentia Bay, those tolton bag ramparts at New Orleans might never have been celebrated in history; while of those who so gallantly defended them, many would not bave been laid so I w, and some perhaps would hardly bave risen so high. A Peep Into the Bank of England The Bank ot England must be seen on theln- side as well as out, and to get iuto tha interior of this remarkable building, to observe the operations of an institution that exerts more moral and political power than any sovereign in Europe,you must bave an order from tbe Governor of the flank. The buildings occupies an irregular area of eight acres of ground —an edifice of no architectural beauty, with not one window towards the street, being lighted altogether from the roof of the enclosed area. I was led, on presenting my card of admissionr into a private room, where, alter a delay of a few moments, a messenger came and conducted me through the mighty and mysterious building, Down we went into a room where the notes oftbe Bank received the day before were now examined, compared with the entries in the hooka,, and stored away. The Bank of England never iw-ues the same note the second time. It receives, in the ordinary course of business, about £80,000. or $3,- 000, 000 daily, in noles ; these put into parcels according to tbeir denominations, boxed up with the date of their reception, and are kept ten years, at the expiration of which period they are takeo out and ground np in tbe mill, which I saw running, and made again -nto a paper. If. in the course often years, any dispute in business or law suit should arise concerning the payment of any note, the Bank can produce the identical bill. To meet the demand for noteB so constantly used up, tbe Bauk has ita own paper-makers, its own printers, its own engravers, all nt work under the same roof, and it even makes the machinery by wbich tbe most of its own work is done. A complicated but beautiful operation is a register, extend ng from lhe printing office to the banking offices, wbich marks every sheet of paoer that is Btl uck ofl from the press, bo that tbe printers can- ot manufacture a single sheet ot blank notes that ia not recorded in tbe Bank. On the same principle of exactness, a shaft is made to pass from oue apartment to another, connecting a clock in sixteen business wings of tbe establishment, and regulating them with such precision that the whole of them are always point* ing to the same second ot time. In another room was a machine, exceedingly simple, for detecting light gold coins. A row of them dropped one by one upon a spring scale. If the piece of gold were of tbe standard weight, the scales rose to a certain height, and tbe coin slid off upou the side of the box; 1 less than the standard, it rose a little higher and the coic slid oft upon the other side.. I nsked the weigher what was the average number of light coius that came into his hauda, and, strangely enough, he said it was a question he was not allowed to answer. Tbe next room I entered was that in which the notes are deposited which are ready for issue- " We have thirty two millions of pounds sterling in this room.'' the officer remarked to me ; '" will you take a little of il ?" I told him it would be vastly agreeable, and he handed me a million (five millions of dollars,) wbicb I received with many thanks for his liberality, but be insisted on my depositing it with him again, as it would hardly be safe to carry so much money into the street. I very much fear that I shall never Bee the money again. Iu the vault beneath the door was a director and a cashier counting 'he bags of gold which men were pitching down to tbem, each bag containing a thousand pounds sterling, just from the mint. This world of money Eeemed to realize the fables of Eastern wealth, and gave me new aud strong impressions of the magnitude of the business done here, and the extent of ihe relations of this one institution to tbe commerco of the world. FeUDAI, AxCESTltY AND DIGNITY.—Mr. Chute, wh"1 went from hence this morning, and is always thinking of blazoning your pedigree in the noblest colors, tins turned over all my library, till be has tappod a new and very great family tor you ; in short, by your mother it is very clear that you (Sir Horace Mann) are descended fr^m Hubert de Burgb, Grand Justiciary to Richard tbe Second ; indeed I think he was hanged, hut that is a raiB fortune that will attend very illustrious genealo gies ; it is as common to them as to the pedigrees about Puddiiiffton and Blackheath. I have had at leai-t a doz-n great-great-grandfathers tba* came to untimely ends. All your virtuosos in heraldry are content to know tnat they had ancestors who Ived five hundred years ago. no mat how they died. A match witb a low woman corrupts a stream ol blood aa long as the Danube- tyranny, villainy, and executions are mere flea bites, and leave no stain. The good Lord of Bath, whon I saw on Richmond green tbis evening, did intend, I believe, to ennoble mv genealogy with auolher execution—Horace Wa/pole's Letieis. The Ruling Passion' Strong in' Bad Health.— Mr. George Washington Makeweight bas been ill —quite ill, so as to demand tbe services of a physician—but he has uot for a moment lost the keen edge and brilliant sparkle o! his wit. Wben at tbe crises ot his disease, he was troubled with an jnnaluial appetite, and craved a pork chop, rare, with mushrooms. "Doctor," said he faintly to bis medical adviser—" Doctor, my hunger is fearful. It is as if you should offer a dollar for an article at auction, and I should offer a dollar fifty." ■'I dou't understand you, sir,'-' said tbe Doctor, thinking that bis patient was delirious. "Don't understand?" asked G. W. M., " why, don't you see, it is more-bid, of course!'" The physician was much shocked, and advised quiet, and sleep, if possible. " i can't sleep till I have eaten a pork chop," insisted the invalid. "I assure you, sir," replied Ihe Doctor, "that it would be wry injudicious in your preseut state—exceedingly injudi" cious." "Nonsense!" cried Makeweight, " I tell you, Doctor, that pork is never in Jew diBhes," He bad the chop. Ill Lock. —A Iii tie bad luck is benefit)'al uow and then. If Patrick Henry had not failed in the grocery business, it is not probable lhat he would ever bave been heard ol as an oratoi, Roger Sh.rihan became a sigi er of the D' claration ol I d. pendence br cause he could not make a liv.ng \ hy hhoe making A Printer's Toast.— H ntnttu — the fairest work ' of creation. The editiou being eXtfittKVOj let UO iiiiiQ uo without :* copy. Questions for .Mathamaticians.—What is tbe sine ot an angle? The sign of an anglt light hair,and a disposition to omit the h's. What is a co-sine? Harper Brot'ers :s a Co- Bign. But a palm tree is a cocoa nut sign. What is a crcle? Oh ! you go to J-richo ! You mean to say thai you have seen your sister in her new dress and don't know what a circle is? The dajaol couit&liip are lis happiest oj our ltTtffl. A doctor told his patient he must give him an emetic. " It's no use," said the patient. " I have tried it twice before, aud it would not stay on my stomach five minutes." Ravenous Fellow.—Last week a man bolted a door, threw up a window of a house, and afterwards swallowed a whole story. Zf,no. ofall virtues, made his choice of silence ; " for by it," said he, " I hear other men's imperfections and conceal my owu." Vremature consolation is but the remembrance of sorrow. The Ial! of an apple taught Newton the clockwork of the universe. The sum of all things is to serve God well and do uo ill thing. Prudence is too ofter the only vir tne left us at seventy-two. If three feet make a yard, how many will it take to make a garden. About lliirty fresh water springs are discovered under tbe sea, on the south of tbe Persian Gulf. A wasp's nest usually contains 15,000 or 16,000 I cells. It is well for the humble when tbey have sufB- 1 cient eduoatiou to reader them caJous to coa- ) tempi. ,*
