As this large and handsome building. now In oonra of oons traction on tb corner of Washington and Eleventh a treats, ia enclosed, a history and description may not be inappropriate at at this time. The Cavalry boys bay for soon time labored under a great disadvantage on account of their limited quarters, and it became evident, on ac oount of the steady increase in member ship, that a change to a larger armory waa an immediate necessity. The company took steos to secure suitable rooms, but could find none in buildings already erected, nor could they aeoure the erec Uon of one, excepting on ground too far removed. from business centers, therefore inconvenient, or where the rent was beyond th means of the company, until they broached th anbiect to Air.

M. u. Bacon. Thia gentleman, witb nia uauai public apiritedneaa, promptly aigmfied his willingness to asaiat the company by ERECTING A BUILDING For them; but Unfortunately the coveted olace waa within the tire 1 unite. Thia matter waa aubmitted for the considera tion of the members of tbe Oommou Council with tbe suggestion that an or dinance amendatory to the Fire Limits ordinance be Dsn seel to cover thia caae.

I hia was done, and the provision made that the Council could by revolution grant permission to erect a frame building within the fire limits, with the ap- oroval of the Mayor. A petition waa presented, and a resolution unanimously passed allowing the erection of a frame building on the lota corner of wash ington and Twelfth atreet a. The resolution was handed to the Mayor for his approval, but he refused to aign and all endeavors to persuade mm to hia mind were of no avail until a letter addressed to his Honor, signed ny the agents of Fire Insurance companies, stating they had no objection to the erection of the building, and an agreement made tbat it ahould be built with a tin roof, also brick wall on tbe rear aides, that he finally APPROVED THE MEASURE. The ordinance and resolution were passed iu July and it was the middle of November before the Mayor's consent raa obtained. Meantime, the original lan was found to be too expensive for the Company, and changes were made by reducing the aize of the quarters of the Cavalry and adding other rooms and atorea ao that the rental from these sources would enable the owner to place the rent of the armory within the means of the Compaoy.

Finally, the present plan was adopted, the contract let, and work on the building commenced. TUE BUILDINU a two atones, witn a i rootage on Twelfth street of 200 feet, and 100 on Washington atreet, which is the1 princi pal front. On thia side are two towers, the larger one surmounting the entrance to the armory and adjoining hall in the second story. There are eleven atorea on the ground floor, t-n on the Twelfth- treet frontage, in size feet by IOO feet, and one fronting on Washington atreet, 2- feet square. Mounting the mun atairway and turning to the left one enters the drill hall of the Cavalry, which ia 60x100 feet Adjoining this and opening into it with folding doors a Company meeting-room and squad drill-room 45x27.

In this room will be ranged against the walls the men'a lockers for their uniforms and quipmenta; also saddle pegs above, pon which the saddles and borae equip- meats will be kept.

Adjoining the Cavalry hall and rooms and entered from the aame stairway), is another hall, 100x40, with two smaller rooms attached. These are for rent, and would be suitable for either a dance-hali billiard-rooms.

I no club rooms will be reached by a stairway on Twelfth street. ear the northeast corner of the build ing.

We often see plants in broken pitchers and old fruit cans, growing ia some dirty of a poor mans cottage, far more luxuriant and healthy than those in the heated bouses of the rich, because during most of tbe winter plants in their natural state make little if any growth, the most they need being pro- -protection from the frost. The oool rooms of tbe poor, ill-ventilated though they may be, furnish more fresh air than can survive the furnace -heat and -the uncoosumed gasaes of a house "with all the -modem improvements."

or A it is monize differences which have existed in tbs Republican party of this State. Sen. ator Robertson, he will be sent on a foreign mission. As toUh announcement that Postmaster James will be Postmsster-General, Piatt says -the statement is I He does not think it probable, i While tbe New York Postmaster is friendly to Sefator Cockling, he ia not the Utters fira4 choke for cabinet position. I The Timet thicks the Interior Depart ment is second to none in importance, and that no name nas been menuuned tn con nection with the place whfc i does not fall ridiculously below the standard of tbs capacity required.

It is rfectly safe- to say that the successor cf Schurx will not be a second-rate man vm among the politicians of sectional fam or harmonis ing potentiality, who have been mentioned in connection with the place, aud we must decline to believe than Garfield proposes to aeek one there. I The HeraWt Mentor spedial says: Gar field is a curious man. Hd has a broad. open face, with a smrting welcome for every one, and big, heavy band, with a hearty shake for alL He impresses you ss being a frank, open-mouthed, tell-it-alL sort of a person; but he isntt anything of the kind. I predect that I the men now talked of as certain to be tn the Cabinet won't be there, and that 4oboly will be able to show the slate -until the list ia made out fori transmission to the Senate.

Yod may rest assured that no man yet mentioned in connection with the Treasury Department aa representing the State of New York, will be a member ot the Cabinet; and in this connection let me sar that, while General Garfield is as anxious to gratify and satisfy Senator Conkling as the Sena tor's best friends can hojt, becsuae he recognizes the value of his great services duriiTg the Indiana and tl general campaign, he has been very 6m in tbe belief that it would not be best to placeat the head of the Treasury Depa -tment a man who has dealt in Governmei it securities. The Herald now thinks the following is to be the Cabinet as far aa it goes: Secretary of State, Blaine; Secretary of Treasury, some Western man; Secretary of War, Bob Lincoln; Postmaeter-Gfeneral, Charles Foster; Attorney-General.

Eight Persons Baraml to Death. Pittsburgh, February 23iL Intelligence has been received here of a terrible confla gration at East Liverpool ttji.i morning at 1 :30 o'clock, by which a family of eight persons, named Sloan, were burned to death. About the time stated the flames were seen issuing from a four-story frame building, owned by Frank Hte wart and occupied as a drug store, feei stare, grocery and dwelling. The proprietor of the drug store, William Slon, with his family, lived in the latter portion. As soon as the flames were discovered by Mr.

Sloan he awoke all, and telling them to follow him, picked up tbe three-j ear-oli daughter and started for the stairs. The names had cut off their retreat by this tiowl however, and turning to the window he leapted out, the same time telling his wife and children to do the tame. It is supposed thi before they had time to follow hia ad ice they were overcome by the stifling ft: mes from the drug store, as no others i scaped. The building burned like tind and having numerous elevators to th upper floors, which opened a pathway or the flames, waa soos) in ruins. Search for the bodies was begojn at any early houi this morning, and soonfall reoovere They were charred beyond recognition, ind it was only by the aize of the remain lat grown per-sons were distinguished I rora children.

The scene about the burned 1 tuilding to-day ia rorrowful iu the extreme, and all that is I left of the family of ten are the father and one daughter, whom he cairied with him when he made the leap. 1 he fire started in the drug store, and is su poaed to have been incendiary. The lo will reach $10,000, which is fully insur sd. Legislation for Cal ifornla. Washington, February 23d.

SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE Ttae Canada Pacific Rallraael. New York, February 24th. The Tri bune says: Evidently Canadians do not expect the Pacific Railroad to draw any trade from eur Western States and Territories. The charter their Parliament has given to the new syn dicate prohibits the construction of any branches of the line within fifteen miles ot tne American Dttrder. instead ot reaching out for oar trade they are afraid that our railroads will grasp a por tion of that yet to be developed in their own Northwestern provinces, and divert it from Montreal and Quebec.

The Canadian enterprise, although a highly important one in its bearings on the settlement of Manitoba and British Colombia, and on the problem of the Dominion's future, will not be likely to exercise any appreciable effects' on tbe currents of trans-continental trade in thia country. We shall have three Pacific roads in operation before the Canada line is built. They will all be competitors for the Qhicai Japan, and Australian trade, and each will possess a decided advantage in the matter of distance from ocean to ocean over the far northern rival, to aay nothing of better climate for winter operations. Mining- la New York State. Be rr alo, February 24th.

A special to the Timet relates the discovery of gold aod silver quartz ledge in the town of Hamburg, nine miles from Buffalo, which appears well authenticated. The names of several prominent men of that section are given in connection with it. The ledge was discovered last August, and pieces of rock subjected to careful assay yielded $11 SO to the ton. Mining operations were commenced last Oc toljer, under the superintendence of Charles E. Reeves, formerly of California, and excavations reveal a aunken ledxe with an overhanging wall on one side.

The latest assay from lowest depth excavated shows from $692 to $930 to the ton. A company has been organized embracing Theodore T. and James Husted; John M. Anstein, of the firm of S. V.

Barnum, Son 9c Charles A. Rupp, a prominent builder, and L. A. Banks. The most surprising and startling thing connected with this whole matter is tbat gold and silver-bearing quartz ahould make its appearance where the geological condition of tbe coun try would seem to contradict the possibility of its existence.

The Emma Mine has failed somewhat signally to come up to the promises of its promoters, so that if Nicaragua Canal was to do the same, tl the there would be at least a good precedent for it.
