No loiterer* paviKa here ; no i-arel©** or floUy footfall i» Jieard ; no sound of laughter or of mirth. The very furniture is iu accord with the general air of aoleuin antiquity. No black walnut chairs of ftuieiful ihapfl| no oiled sideboard* or , desks, grace the chamber of the United State* Supremo Court. Everything here i* of old, ponderoui VOWWOpd or ; mahogany, of cl^ic aliopltcity of outline, built to last forever. Indued, though hardly reverential, ore is irresistibly reminded on every hand of the deacon'* celebrated "onehoaa shay," which might break down, but doesn't wear out. The furniture is never renewed, the officials are never changed, the Justice* never retire, till Ihiuth, the great destroyer, claims In* own. The desks, the table*, the book cm***, are thu ftaino which furnished the United State* Senate in former day*. On yonder sofa thu brethren of John Marshall sat. That chair supported tho lithe, active form of Aaron Burr or the ponderous frame of Webster. The Clerk, who died last winter, had soon two generations of attorneys como and go. II* had recorded tho opinions of Marshall, of Taney, of C'hnse, and of Wait*. Ho hud listened to tho argument* of Webster, Sargont, Bimicy and Choate. Ills junior, who succeeded him, had been in tho service a quur-t«-r of a century. The Master of the Bolls appears never to have been born at all, but to have descended from some primeval *tag« of antiquity. The colored messengers who keep the nfitiroom* and go on errands might have been the body servants of Washington. Rip Vair Winkle, if he had awoke in the precinct* of the Supreme Court, would havo found himself completely at home. No party, in its eager scrumhie for the spoils of victory, has ever yet ventured to lay sacriligious liundh upon tho offices attached to this Court. The Clerk of the Supremo Court occupies a higher place socially than tho Clerk of the House, or even the Secretary of the Senate. His position i* as much a life tenure as that of the Chief Justice. The Supreme' Court room is semi-cir-cular in »bape, with a rather flat dome, ■whose appox, forty five feet above, is just over the chair of the Chief justice. Directly beneath the chamber is the old Supreme Court room, now occupied by the valuable law library of tho Court. The Court chamber ia tho most beautifully proportioned room nf its size in the United States, and i* aaid to bo the finest court room in the world. Directly opposite, its you enter, are the ».»nta of tho Justice*, nine high-bucked chairs, raised several feet above the lloor, anil ranged behind a low screen, which answer* the purpose of desk*. Bick of the Justice* extends a screen of Ionic mnrblc columns of green breccia, with while marble capitals, which support an niry gallery, above which - — -- m' O V J

the daylight stream* through u crimson curtain, throwing a warm glow of color over tho venerable men beneath and tho marble busts of tho dond ChiefJustices on the opposite wall. On either *ide, and in front of the judicial bench, are ranged the desk* of the Clerk and other high officials of the Court. The floor is covered with' * nVb," j heavy carpet of a golden-brown medal- ■ lion, which give* warmth and color to • the fine clmtflc architecture of the room* itself. Within tho bar are n lino of j baize-covered tables, with chairs interspepiud for tho uso of attorneys having CHsai before '.lie Court. Outside the rail i* a cushioned bench for the few spectators who at interval* noiselessly como and go, for Ihere is nothing of dramatic interest about the proceedings of the .Supreme Court to long inthrall the interest of more sight-seers. Across tlio corridor is the robingroom,. where the Chiof-Justico and his associate* attire themselves in the long silken gowns which they wear upon the bench. Tho apartment is long, lofty and imposing. At the end are three high Windows, *1 nided by dnmiwk curtains, A beautiful mtrhlo mantle of antique pattern occupies tho contra of on* of th« long sides of the room. On the mantl* is an eliony clock, and on either side are two huge lounges. Opposite it the chair of tho Cli ief-Juslica, at the end of a long table, beside which aro ranged the seals of th* other Justices, Un ilie walls aro portraits of Chief Justice* Jay, Marshall, and Taney. This room was long the clumber of the Vice-Presidents of the United States. . It is now the retiringroom the Justices and their place of asscn - blng*. The windows command s fine

view of the terraces and the city below. Adjoining are the office* of the Clerk of the Court and his assistant*. Here , also the furnUuru ia untiqufc and pi - I Under these romus is still another scrioa of judicial apartment*. Here is tho conference room where the Ju»tices retire to debate and decido upon their opinions. This room, like the rest, 1* large, gloomy and spectral— a reoaptaolo of mentor!©* of generation* dead and gone.— N. Y. Ouxkkykk. A Water Telescope. To anglers and person* who are fond of subaqueous investigations, the water telescope, much used in some parts of Europ's '• * very usoful instrument. It is designed to obviate the difficulty which ripple* on tho surface of the ware r make for the eye which would pierce it* depth*. There are three form* of water gin m. namely, un ordinary bucket or barrel with the bottom knocked out ; secondly, a piece of tin of a funnel shape about throe feet long and nine inches in diameter at tho broad or bottom end, and large enough at the top to accommodate the ohserv- , tr's fye — into the broad ond rthould be inserted a plate of strong glass and some weight to weigh it down ; thirdly, the simplest way is to got a tin or zinc tube like a map case. This should be about three and « half feet long and three inches in diameter. The bottom of this also should have gluss and be weighted. When tho wator is clear this instrument will enable tho observer to see from threo to twenly fathoms on calm, bright days. Of course, whon the water is thick tho glass is useless. The Norwegian fishermen are constant ly in tho habit of using the instrument, and often discover by its aid *boals of fish which would otherwise escape them. In searching for wrecks, bodies of drowned persons or lost objects of any kind, tho water telescope is invaluable. By it naturalist* are enabled to observe tho habits of fish and the growth of subaqueous vegetation. To water parties who picnic on rivers or lakes it would offer a now enjoyment in revealing the fiutsaquoous scenery. Every reader used to tho water will imagine use* to which water telescopes can be put, and as they aro cheap of construction they will probably com© into general two on rivora and lakes. — Kailway Joi'kxal. New Ze.ila.V1> is nmkinggreat progress in the cultivation of its soil and in tho introduction of foreign plants. Tho Government of tho colony has arrunged for a shipment this month of a number of Japanese fruit trees, applo, orange, and plum, and other trees and shrubs. Tlio temperature of Now Zealand is considered to be so much like that of Japan that it is hoped these fruit trees will easily become ucclimn- | tizctl nnd thrive well. There ia some I prospect, too, of .making New Zealand a winegrowing country. Sonio French vine grower* have decided to plant a : piece of a land to the nortli Auckland ; a* a vineyaid. It ift also proposed to introduce I ho tea plant in the same district. Some tinio ago the colony j introduced a large number of English | sparrows and linnets, and made special | provisions for their protection. Both 1 spirrows and * linnet* luivo got on so, wall in New /.• aland, and multiplied so rapidly, that the protection which has hitherto been extended to them has i been removed.

I ... « I" , _ . IV ortb Knowings * There la a place In Philadelphia where a stranger may buy his clothes, and fare as well as if he knew the whole city by heart ; and if he knows nothing about the value of cloths, or of clothes, lie is as well oil", as if he were a good judge of both. The reason is that everything to be found there is made there — made and sold under a system which rarely allows mistakes to occur, and which c orrects them, if they do occui*. Oak Hall is the place; and its practice may be

summed up in a few words. If you get there what you don't want to keep at the price, you return it, and get your money back. This means a great deal more than appears on the surface. It means that you are not going to get what you will not want to keep at the price, if the merchant can help it It means that the clothes you get there will be of honest cloths, honestly made; and that they wil cost you less than as good clothes can be got for elsewhere. It means Ifeat tliey will be every way better worth your money than you can get elsewhere for the same money. If it means anything less than these tilings — if it means poor cloths, trimmings, cutting, sewing, or in any way dishonest or illiberal dealing; the return of his goods will plague the merchant, injure his credit, and dissipate his trade. If it means these things — • if it means liberal and honorable dealing, valuable and trusty clothing, ease and safety in getting it, Oak Hall is the place for you to go to, or to send to ; and it is worth your while to know how you can send, if it is inconvenient to go. Write ; say what your I occupation is ; say what | sort of use you intend to make of the clothes you want, whether for every-day wear or otherwise; what color you prefer, or what color to avoid ; say about what you want to pay ; say everything that you think may aid a stranger in choosing for you. You will . get in reply samples of cloths and prices of whatever you want made from those cloths. You will get also the means of having your measure taken by an unskilful person. There is only one difficulty left. Somebody has got to take the risks of the dealing ; for there are risks. Send your money along with your order. That covers the risk as to your good faith. We risk everything else ; the fit, and your satisfaction every way. i Our trade by mail j amounts to half a million ; dollars a year ; there's no reason why it shouldn't amount to five millions.
