of Tin Bt 1. 1 The chamber of dcputo ( ) has
adjourned. But the heated debates of thu
last foxv daxs gave thn je.ir't session a ter

Of course the houses had to sit through

The hall of tha deputies is situated In xvhat

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

Iho uniting room Is very plain ; at ono cod

The Hat wall forming Iho diameter of Iho

order dividing it Into panels oinamontod by
txxo handsome clocks and coxored xvlth beau

pulpll-liko desk some eight foot long and hul
slightly loxxot than the president's tubio. In
front and boloxv Ihu Ulbuno sll the oOlciul

All this furniture Is made of finely carxod
marble with allegorical figures In bas-ielicf.

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

There are txxo galluilcs utid these me
divided Into compartments similar to thoalrl-

In the assignment of scuts lo the public a

mute knowledge of thu lunguaguls noiessury.
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

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.
'Xbo president of tbo cbatuborblunelf reads

xvhich could senrcily ho understood oven If

The president of the ihambcr nlso rccog-

lloor or iftihor the tribune ; for cacti member
desiring to speik , must , after recognlllon
by Ihu providing ofllcer , flrst mounl Iho irlb-

The speaker thus fucoi hit audience and
turns his back upon the president ; he wains
up and doxvn behind the trloune , loatia on
Iho desk or gcsiliulates xxlldly.
He alloxvi himself to bo frequently in-
tcnupled , and keeps up a cross llio xxlth Ills

When ho bus HnUhid his address ho runs
quickly doxvn the stops of Iho tlluunu to

method , thu orator fuios his uudionio ; ho
spuaks to the whole house , not to the opposl

The Fieuch chamber has Its oxxn mode ol

in case the vote Is uot evident , to stand up
In their places.
But on iho main proposition , the vote Is bv-

among thu mombrs billet b.xo-i of peculiar
sphoiicid shape with it slit at the top , the
