rom centre to sides, or from corner to corner, the most chaste and beautiful surprises of vases, wreaths and bouquets of flowers and fruit pieces excite our love of true art. The carpet, in its mechanical construction, as well as in its artistic design, is a wonder. It was made in Glasgow, Scotland, upon the only loom existing in the world capable of weaving one so large. Mr. W. H. Carryl, of Philadelphia, went to Europe, and, after examining various patterns in different cities; including Paris and London, proceeded to Glasgow and designed this.--His mission was a success. The next attractive features among the ornamental in the East Room, are the curtains and drapery at the eight windows. The inner curtains are of the richest white needle-wrought lace, made in Switzerland. Over these, and suspended from massive gold gilt cornices, are French crimson brocatelle, trimmed with heavy gold fringe and tassel work. The embrace, or curtain pin, at the side of each window, is of so

For a week past every available place has been filling up with members of Congress and their wives. At Willard's at the National, at Brown's, everywhere, there is the same eruption of men, of whom many are simply dingy, tobacco chewing demagogues. The men themselves are often shabby in dress, or clothed in the last effort of some country tailor; but the women of the party are a great deal worse. A man may pass without observation, or with only a general impression that his coat is of ancient style, and his linen by no means faultless; but a woman's costume must be unexceptionably lady-like or it is said to outrage one's taste. Such wonderful combinations of color, and such astonishing trimmings as have appeared of late hero, would afford a valuable study for the artists who get up "Paris fashions Americanteed,"
