A Si'MHlou ol' the By a stroke of good fortune I xvas enabled to attend Iho chamber on Salurdny. Iho very lasl da } or Us session a day xxhich gave op portunity for a lively debate und xxltnosslng mi impoilaui vote. The hall of tha deputies is situated In xvhat xvas the old Bout ban palncu , originally erected bj C'aidlnnl Mararln. The building Is con structed of giay sandstone In thu Giccian Bljloof aiihltucturc. As piuliatiient house In London overlooks the Thames. , so Iho Puloln Bourbon stands \\Ilh its front on the border of the bclne. rorntchltcctutal effect , the location of the Trench building , on a rising piece of ground leading to xxhich abeautiful biidgu spins the tivor from the Placa do la Concorde , surp is- ses Hint of Westminster , xvlth its loxv-lylng terraces , As a building the founor cannot compare wllh Iho latter or with the capilol at Wash ington In point of size , coustuioilon oroinu- mentation. Thu Palais Botubon is comparatively finall , it affords loom for thu deputies only , nnd the upper hotiso of the Fiench legisla ture Is forced to meet m another building. The exteilor Is tasteful , not elxboralo. A series of columns wllh Coimlhian capitals supports tlio classic pediment oriinmentcd \v 1th allegorical statuary. A ( iliiiipsi ; ol' L'IC Interior. The publlo entiance Opens on a waiting m separated from the main bulldlnir by 'the inembeis' drlvotvav. Iho uniting room Is very plain ; at ono cod Btimds a table provided xvlth blanks for ap plications to see mombeis , and at the back is n door Ihrough which the curds disappear nnd llio replies are rulurnod. The uniformed messengers are exceedingly pollto and conduct iho visitor , after hu lia's iccuiod his ticket of admission , signed by a duputy , totheioi-idorof Ihc fullorx- .

The Hull or the Deputies Is scmiclicufiir in form and piesents a viuxv ilinilur to tbut of an auditouum of u theater In general oiitllno U resombtos very much : the old house of represoalallves at Wash Ingtoii , noxv tuinod into a statuary hull und TVMliups ut present moil colebiutod for its xvhlsporing ( j.illeries. The Hat wall forming Iho diameter of Iho eomlclrclo is tollovud by columns of the Ionic order dividing it Into panels oinamontod by txxo handsome clocks and coxored xvlth beau tiful tapostiy. The high plalform of the pie- ildingonicor is roaehud on ono side by a * < - < xlrxvny ot not loss than ton stops.

In front and boloxv Ihu Ulbuno sll the oOlciul ropoi tors. All this furniture Is made of finely carxod marble with allegorical figures In bas-ielicf. The seats of the monibuis risn about the platform In saint-circular Hers ono nbovu thu Other. Thu benches are comfortably uphol- Bleicd in red cloth , thov aio siatloaury , thus enabling the desks of ttio members bohlnd to bo attached to the b ick of iho seat , The desks , hoxvover. nro insignificant affairs , not more than eight Inches xvlilo , scarcely afford- hiL'suppoit for a book , much loss loom for convenient letter wilting. A roxv of lonlo columns shuts In the last tier of mombeis1 souls and bohlnd tills nro the spoliators' galleries ai ranged , ono aboxo tlio other like balconies In u theater.

Thu president of thu chamber seems to oc- cupj a position very dllTorunl from that of Uu > speaker of the lower house at Wasntnp- ton Ho is , of course , expected to maintain order , a tusk often qulio dlfllcull xxitli the turbulent and excitable bionuhmon. For this purpose there Is no guvol xvhatevnr , on ordliuirx occasions the president merely taps loiclhlx. on his table with an ivory paper Wife This method seldom suftlces and so resort i had to a largo brass boll made to strike by txlnglngln Us frame. Us resonant sound can bo distinctly hoard throughout the chamber , but the bell must frequently bo repeatedly struck bofoio order \ restored.
