Tin1 facade was plain, being merely divided into compartments by pilasters. In each division there was a window, the framework of which was painted to represent green marble.

' J. ..???>.(KM I'otal s::.11KJ,7l1'.0i0 It is elaimeil that, the American method of sending transatlantic mails is decidedly superior to (hat enmloved by (lie Mnixlisli. The government of (Jrcat ISrit;?i 11 is under contracts at present to send its mails to this country Iiy the White Star, Cunard and Inmaii lines. This prevents the employment of the I a-te.>l steamers >ti the* ocean, such as the Alaska ami Arizona, of the <> nil III line, ami the Kllie, ol't lie North ticrman Lloyd. American merchants ari* permitted to designate the steamer I<y which I heir 1*-Iters shail uo. and in this way they are cnaMed to have their letters accompany any merchandise tliey may semi. Tlie Kngli.-h method jilaces merchants at a disadvantage in this respi-ct. While specially addressed letters are sent as directed, it frequently happens that freight coming by a last vessel arrives here j several days in advance ol' the invoice. | which may have been sent on (lie same j day by a slower Imal.
