Mr. Renwick, of New York, has prepsred the dewigp for a block of office-buildinga in Wash- ington, to be built entirely of brick. These are of Baltimore and Wasbington macufactare in different colure; and a novel use is made of the materinl by submitting it to the chiset in the working-ont of the ornament. The window- lintels, belt-courses, and athor prominent fea- tures, are cat preciscly a8 if they were of free- stone. The fine-grained brick, it is found, cuis 1o = good face ; and the work i3 more spirifed and artistic tban the tame molded work, where burnt clay is need otberwise than in the usnal shepe of brick. .In the construction of tire- proot boildinge, where it is desired to uss brick to the exclusion of sandatono, gronite, or other materiul, Mr. Renwick's idea of cut brick-work may give to the profossion a thorougbly artistic trestment of a reslly serviceable materinl.— American Architect. BUILDING L¥ BROOKLYN.

This cstimate, however, is ac- koowledged to be mere guess-work. In the Iarge Astor property the reduction has been at least 10 per cent, and in many cases as much a8 20, 25, end 80. 'The reduction probably is on thie whole lesa than almoat any ather large land- lord has had o make, because this estato is so well sdministercd that the Astor honses are sl- ways in good domapd. Yet the fact that such wide fluctuations arc shown in the rents of an estato conducted on the most conservative principles, and which is one of the principal reg- ulators of valueg, may be considered tolerably good evidenco of the unsettled and chsotic con- dition of the whole market. A rent which pays 5 per cent clear on the capital invested is congid- ered to be a fair retarn; anything over this is sn exceptional and * fancy ™ rate, and of Iste years fancy ratos have been the rule. Three or 334 per cent pays the taxes sud the wear and toar of tho property ; so that arent of 83§ per cent on the capital invested is s fair rate as be- tween the landlord and the tenant.

BENEWALS THE FASEION. Renting houses or stores is, in Chicago, & fair~ weather business, and the storms of the past wock interfered with the aperstionsof agents. Landlords are making concessions to tenants who will rencw. Rents have fallen considerably from the tigures of two years ago, but the de- cline in comparizon with Iast year is not marked, especislly in the case of cheap bouses and stores.

HOUSEHOLD ADORNMENT. MAKING HOME ATTRACTIVE. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Cricago, March 17.—~Information oo the sub- ject of Home Adoroment cannot fall of appre- ciation, and I trast what little I bave to write upon the shbject will be acceptable, Mention was made about neglected photographs in an ar- ticle of Iast Suaday’'s TrisoNe, snd & simple style of frama suggested. A *‘photograph re- ceiver " is something protty and useful, and is easier and cheaper to make than s number of frames. Purchsse coarse perforated card-board, =nd cut out four piccea (one must bo a tride lar- ger than the other three), in the shapo of a very broad V—this style: Also 5 square piece for the top. On the largest picce work a border on nil sides ; on the thres pieces make tho samo finishing on the sides and upper edge only, and on tho square work only on the three sides. Fasten your roceiver to- getber lightly, the nnder odge lapping, and it will be comploted. When you have finishod it with balls ov tassels, as your fancy may dictate, tis will be s pretty ornament in your parlor whon hong up, and fonnd very convenient, for it Lolds a Jarge number of pictures, which ean be removed and replaced at plessuro. CCPID'S SCALES. For those who like to hang something attract- ive in the windows, there ia & long list to choose {from,—s dozen varieties Of ** sir-castles,” bask-~ ets, doves, ate. These are in so many homes, bowever, that descriptions are mnnecessary. But a litt!e ornament calied * Cupid’s Scales.” is not #o common, sud is just cute esough to ba described. On & emall piece of card-board form these words, * The Secres Of,” and on an- other piece, similar in wizo. work, ¢ Modern Love.” Then fasten theso two back to back. On a small square piecs of the perforated board work a heart ; aad on another piece gino a coin, or anything that your faucy may snggest a8 typi- cal of riches, so that it will bo beavior than the heart. Faateu to each corner silken cords that will attach them to the main picces. You can baog up the eczles by cord and tassels. SPATTER WORK *Spattor work” is also very pretiy, and tbe pictures, whon completed,—if neatly done,— reprosent good engravings. Dy following these directious you can hardly feil to succeed: Pro- eura a piece of Bristol-boara,—any eize you raay desire,—and pin on 10 it pressod leaves, such as ivy or fern, in & wreath or in groups. Cut from stiff paper a mat, say 1inch wide, and firmly piu it to tho edge of your Bristol-board. Then cut from the sswe material a8 yonr mat lotters to form some motto,—such as ** God Biess Our Home,” or **No Cross, No Crown." If you use tho latter, cut outa cross and Crown, AITaugo them in the centre of your p}gar with a wreath of leaves, the words above. sure that these are ali pipned down firmly. Thea dissolve a small pieco of India ipk in water; hold an old sieve over your pictore; dip o brash in the ink, and *‘spatter through the sieve. Re- move the leaves aud Jetters as you wish them shaded, leaving the mat on until all is com- pleted. By doing this of course you will have obtsined aclear border around your pictare. FON THE LIBRART. Something useful for your library is a receiver for notes, etc. A sheet of Btiff drawing-paper will make two small onos. Cut_them the shape of a sandal or watch-case. Pink the edges, and fasten the pockots on by boriug & few holes and tying ribbopa throngb. Decalcomanie pic- tures sre oply acont a piece, and by transferring two to each receiver 1t 18 nicely orcamonted. A COTIOSITT. If vou desiro a hittle curiosity on your flower- stand, tako s old sponge, place in a glass vase or stand, and sprinkie on it a quantity of grass- soed. Moiston it every day, and in a shors time your spouga will ba beantiful and green. The seed grows fast, and the wholo thing isinex- peusive, whilo at the same fime it is protty. JTAIR RECEIVER. Every 1ady’a toilet-siand should hofd » hair- recaiver aud Dbairpin-cushion to match. Those ladies who purchase such articles may not know that tbey sre simply made. Purchaso balf s sheet of siver or gold card-board, Take an old yesst powder-can, cut off a piece of tha card-board tbat will cover tho sidesof can. Wark in worsted your initials ; make a fluting of inch-wide ribbon, the color of your worsted. for each gide. Cover the top and bottom of the can with oiled eils. Then put on your card- board, ribbon, andaloop to hangitup. The haar-receiver is made from a gquare of the card- board. Work your initiels on it to match the hair-pin cushion, Line with silk or cambric, and 58w two sides togethor, €0 as to form & cornuco- pis; put a fluiting of ribbon sll around, 80 a8 10 tinish it, and a hanging loop. FAPKINS ¥OR CAKE DASEETS. Every_lady who crochets of course can have ‘mats and tidies innumernble; bat fow know how 40 take & spool of cotion and make a napkin for their cake-baskets, and yet it is just the most sirple piece of fancy work imsaginable. Take a squars frame, &)y abons 9 inches square, and nothed on the ontside edge: tho notches not to bomade too desp, and no closer togsther than a quarfer of an inch. If you caunot get this frame, ogo from = slafe, notched of course, will snswer the purpose. Izke your spool of thread and wind over the frame in the notcnes four times. After tbis is dooe on two sides, cross and repeat on the other two, so hat aftor your thread is wound on the frame it wilt look like cane-work (I can think of no other way to oxpress it). Then, with o long thresd in your needle, commonce at one corner snd tie the “cane-work " together. This must be repeated until the whole thing is firmly tied. Then. with & small sharp pair of cigsors, cut the threada in their notches, which magkes a fringe. This i8 simply made, yot I fear I have but poorly given the directions. If, however, the reader would lika this pretty napkin far her cake-basket, ahe bas but to observe the work of a cane-seated chair to catch the iden of copsiruction. Thia subject of MAKING TOUR HOME ATTRACTIVE with little labor and expense, is a dalightfal one, and mirht keep 8 writer basy in giving in- structions for making leather work, wax fowers, skeleton leaves, etc., ctc. There are 50 many ‘well-informed Iadies, whoso rooms aro beauti- fully adorned with their own industry, that it would be wearying for them to read over what they already know 6o well ; but if those who originats, or have heard of useful fancy articles, will send a deecription to Tua TRipuNE’s House- keeping Department, I am sure they will confer a favor to many Jady readers. ‘Thavking the editor for the space he has given me in Tre TRIBGNE columns, 1 am, very respoct- fully, Georera H. ** DOVES TILL YOU CAN'T REST.” To the Eéstor of The Chicago T$ibuns: Cuicaco, March 17.—It would seem, to judge from appesrances, that every well-regulited family—alao others not 80 well regulated—must needs place before the public s borribly gistort- ed representation of a dove in the act of flying ; or perhaps it would be more expressive to say, in the act of swooping, as no bdird could reazon- ably be expected to fly and rotain the position givenin these misorable caricatures. On the West Side I have noticed 88 many as thres of these abominations hung in ths windows of one house—not a very large house either. I think there were four windows init. The mania for these distorted birds 18 becoming fearfully prev- alent among the youog ladies, why try to nval each other 1n their productions, by making sd- ditions, such as glass eyes, pink bills, tail-feath- ers, ctc., and in ong or two instaoces I have no- ticed doves of unsightly proportions, with * Car- dinal red " ribbons sround their necks, from which depends & miniature envelop with s red geal.

The counter transactions of the banks were not hoavy for Salurday, and the demand for losns wes moderate, and uot sufficlent to ubsord the accumulat- ing mesns of the banks, The dullness of comntry trade, and the lightness of country shipments of produce to market, bave been greater than usal this winter, on account of 1hie soft weather, This has given tho funds of the bauks more employment than they would other- wiso bave had. Thersis still a demand from the country for funas 10 carry stuff, aud paper s offered by country dealers in place of paymeut to city mer- chants. .The surpius of loanable funds is not yet pressing, but the banks will begin {0 feel the accumu- lation of idle funds as so0n s tho couDtry roads im- prove, and this the more sinco they will not have an outlet, as they had last spring, for nearly £2,000,000 iz losns to the city. Good negotiable paper is in demand at the banks, aud borrowers wilt bo ablo to secure good terms for the next few months.. Rates of dis- count at the banks are 7@10 per cent, the former rate Loing accorded only to independent Lorrowers with tho best of collateral On the strect, rates aro 7@18 per cent.

There i3 no more salutary provision in the National Bank law, or in thoso State bank cliarters that con tsin it, than those making stockholdera liable for the debts of their banks to an amount squal to their stock, This is a provision too seldom regarded by Beceivers, slthough it should bo rigorously enforcad for the ben- fitof depositors. Noneof the stockholders of any Chicayo bank that has falled sinco the panic have been beld o their ability beyond their stock, but we find on inquiry that measures aro being taken in somo cuses to sccomplish this. Mr. J. D. Harvey, Recelver of the Scandinavian National Bauk, has received the follow- ing order from Camptroller Knox : 1o ali Whom at May Concern: This to certify that I have taken an sccounting of tho condition of (ne ¢s- tate of the Scandinavian Natiopal Bank, of Chicago, 1. aforesadd, and of its asets and liabilities, sud I do find and determine upou data satisfactory Lo me, that in order to provido tho money necessary (@ pay the duly proven debts of Baid Association, it 18 Decessary now %0 enforco to the extent hercinafter mensioned the indisidual Lability of the sharcholders of said Asso- cistiou provided for by tho twelfth section of the act of Congrees eutitled “An Act to provide a National curtency," approved Juno 3, 1864, and by Sec, 5,151 of the Ruvised Statutes of the United States, approved Juno 22, 157, and to that end aud in pursnance of the powers vested in me by tha suid acts, I have 1ade and do Lereby order and_maku an agsessment, or Tequiri- tion, upon the ehareholders of said Associstion or bapk, «nd each and every of them equally and rotably, to the amount of $30 per centum of the par value of tho sbares of eapital stock in the said Association, held or owned by them rospectively st the time of ita failure or suspension, and 1 direct Joel D, Harvey, tho Keceiver heratoford sppotatod of the said Associa- y suit or tiun, to tako the necesawry proceedings by otlierwise to enforeo to that extent the said individual Iiability of the said ehareholders. Of the stock of tho Scandinavian National $131,000 is hold sbroad; of that held i this country, only $25,- 000 (out of $84,000) is held by parties of whom any- thing can bo collected, Tho Tressury Dopsrtment nopes to compel the foreign stockholders to contribute their quota to mxke good to depositors the Qeficieucy in the agsets of the bank. These stockholders reside in Stockholm, Paris, Copenhagen, and elsewhere. Comptroller Knox i a letter dated tho 9th inst., To- quests Receiver Harvey to advise with some good at- torney in Chicago and “make a statament of account against the foreign shareholders in 3 good shaps 18 possible for bringmg suit against them on their indi- vidual liability.” The Compuwoller continues: *I will then fransmit the papers fo tho foreign Minister st Stockholm or elsowbere, under the seal of this ofice, and request him to place the matter In the hands of somo good attorney for prompt prosccution.” _Tho liabilities of the Scan- dinavisn were §250,000, of which abont 40 per cent has Loen paid to depositors. It is hoped that all or nearly all the balance can be collected out of the stockholders. The Manufacturers' National Bauk was so thorough- 1 cleaned qut by its “Boss Kindler” that its assots amount to nothing. The only resonrce for the deposi- tors i3 in the liobility of the stockholdera. No steps can be taken againat the atockholders, howover, until tke amount for which they are lisblo Las been determined. The books show this to be §7,000, bat sults are now panding in the United States Courts to incresse this, In liguidating the bsnk resl estato paper in ity possesslon to the amount of upwards of £100,000, made by Sam ‘Walker, Houore, Philpot, and other real-estats specu- Iators, was taken by some of its creditors in satisfac- tion of their claims. This paper they have failed to colloct, and now seck recourse upon the bonk. - The bank resists this claim, and until it 18 decided it will ‘be impossible for Recciver Harvey to prosccuts the stockhalders, On the 1st of April next, Mr, Harvey, a8 Rsceiver of the Franklin Savings Bank, will gell the remaining as- sets of the bank. They consist of notes, real-cstate paper, accounfs, cic., etc. The procceds will bo dis tributed among the creditars. Suit will bo brought againet tho stockholders for the balance due de- positors, “Tho Commorefal Loan Company is held by the Re- colver under an old-faghioned assigument, and the proceedings necessaty to sccure the depositors by ussessment on the stockholders are difforent from those in the other cases. The assets bave alrcady ylelded 50 per cent and will .« yield bout 25 per cent mors. Tho balance of 95 per cent will bo coliected out of the stockholders as 800D B3 the necessary papers can be propared, and the form determined on which the Beceiver should pro- ceed. Tecciver Burley, of the Cook County National, stated that proccedings against the stockholdors of that fnstitution will be begun 05 0on 88 the amount for which they aro lisblo has boon ascortatnod, and 29 8001 as gome legal questions involved are settled. One of thess, af great jmportancs, has just besn dsclded by Judge Woodruff, of the United States Circuit Court of New York, contrary to all tho decisions hero- toforo rendered. It bas been uniformly held upto this timo that tho stockholders of National banks wera Tiablo simply for their sliquot proportion of the def- clency, rogardless of tho solvency or insolvoncy of other stockholders; and under this ruling it has been the practice to collect from each stockholder simply his proportion. But, sccording to Judge Wood- ruf’s it is necessary to collect from cach stockholder the full smount for which ho is Lable om his stock, without referonce 0 its proportion to the deficiency, 1f, atter puying the depositors and other creditors, suything 18 Jeft over, it 15 to be returnod to tho stockholders, This decision of Judge Woodruff'a will have to be reviewed Dy the United States Supreme Court before the pro- cedure will be settled. The delays in prosecuting tha ability of stockholders will be seen 10 bo largely dus tothe collateral litigation necesssry. The National Bank law (Sec. 50) places in the hands of Receivers the inftistive m prosecuting stockholders, but a decision of the Suprame Court holds that the Comptroller of the Currency must originate all such action.

Tle figures talked of are on ths basis of 5¢ for corn to Buffalo. i 4 It has becn suggested that the parties who have St. Patrick’s Day in charge would do well to change it over from March into April,when they would probably have ‘more congenix! weather, It only costs 25c in pork au %c in wheat to make such a change; and the proposed operation wonld probably not be much mMoro expensive than in the cads of produce. . A gentleman just roturned from the Straits of Mackinaw reports that when he loft the oo was 20 inclies to 2 feet thick, Sincothen tho weather hag been cald, and the thickness of ths ica has probably incressed rather than diminished. Vessel men donot think that the chances,are good for an opening of navigation st & verymuch earlier period than the average—which s the lst weok in April. Tho leading prodjice markets were gencrally firmer on Saturdsy, with ‘more doing, which was especially noticeable for the last day of the week, when things aro usually quiet.
