The Washington correspondent of the Cin cinnati Gazette gives a racy account of the mud dle cono.-ctetf with (hr norrartS f’ntTTrsfty, m institution one of tiie tear buildings of which tumbled info a heap of ruin3 the other day. He says k A number of benevolent persons in this city conceived the idea o! establishing a university at the capital for the education of colored vom it and men. The movement was not even remotely connected with the Freedmen’s Du rian It was to be non sectarian, aud to be erected by contributions collected from the ehurebes ot the North. Shortly after Its in corporation officers of the Freedmen’s Bureau cam (tin, first proffered money, which the Com missioner stated lie had a perfect right to use, and then, in a few months afterward, assumed the entire control of the whole affair. From flic day this control began Howard University has been little less than a means of Using over 9300,000 of public money for the benefit of a t i.xr’of Bureau officer . And this must not he understood as a general statement, but as pre cise and within bounds. Further than this, it can be made perfectly apparent that, the whole scheme centered upon the idea of preparing a ricit berth for all the members of the riugwhen flie Bureau should be discontinued. Tie- steps were these : 150 acres of the most available land about the city were purchased with public funds at. the rate ot 81,000 per acre, and deeded to the trustees. At, the request of Gen. Howard, tin* most desirable acre in the tract was given to him. Its estimated value then was between $4,000 and $0,009. Afier wani, when some questioning arose, the met ier was re-arranged. (Sen. Whittlesey, the Adjutant (Sonera! of the Bureau, was made iinanei.il agent of the University. Without authority from the trustees, a large tract of the property was jaid out in building lots and sold. At this sale the fill re ui ring obtained the most desirable property. Then the question of erecting buildings' for the University came np. (Sen. Howard proceeded to 4# this with public funds, stipulating, or arranging with the con tractors that the material used should be pur chased from a certain Building Block Com pany, which, in view of this very work, certain officers ol the Bureau, liin.self among the num ber, had established. In tills way Gen. How ard', liu» brother ; Ger. Wittiesev, Ills Adjutant; the leading man in his Freedmen’s Savings Bank ; the General Superintendent of Freed man's schools, and several other employees of the Bureau became virtually sub-contractors in the work. Some ot these have not been stock holders in the Brick Company for the whole time, though all have heen directly interested. The affair would have a very questionable ap pearance, even if the material thus furnished were-entirely lit for building purposes. But het'c arises one of tin: most, curious features of the speculation. The material is wholly unfit for its purpose, and is in ev. ry sense a vital failure, ft consists simply of fine sand dug up upon the srfouiids and mixed with common lime A staam press stave this material shape. These blocks have, in ninety-nine cases out of the hundred, failed to act except as a thin scale, on th.- outside hardened. Not one in a hun dred can he found which, after it has lain upon the "round until if. has become damp, cannot lie pressed down inn: a mass of saud by the hoe It is a very difficult matter to find a dry brick of the kind used, that cannot be brokcu in a half dozen pieces by a single blow of the heel. And then in nearly every one the pieces can be crumbled into sand in the hand. And yet, buildings costing nearly *200,000 have been erected of this wretched material, not because it was cheap, lor it cost more thau common j iar d brick, but to make a ring of Government employees rich. The worst of all is that when ftuished, the buildings are unsafe, as the falling of one abundantly proves. Nor can the excuse he pleaded that the unfitness ot the material has been brought it by time. It would have been sLupid enough to begin the erection of exten sive public buildings with au untried aud un tested material, even if it had in the end proved ■mod. Asa general thing, public funds have not. been used i:i experiments upon so grand n scale. But to make the matter worse, long before the huildiug which fell was begun, or contracted lor, an entire end of one already erected fell, and after falliug was a heap of sand, instead of a mass of broken brick. This accident was carefully kept out of the press, and building on the large scale went on. The part which fell was replaced, and two months afterward was cracked off from the main build ing again, aud eracked in four places from top to” bottom besides. The main University building began to crack, and crevices could be plainly traced in ten places from the founda tion up through ail the four stories, while the tower was so badly cracked that work on it had to be suspended, and is still suspended.— Several of those engaged in the various con tract? upon the work expressed the opinion that the whole was unsafe, and some who were experts declared that any sudden jar wonld brhi"- it down Workmen objected to going upon the building, and an interior chimney ernahino- down through the floors added to the geueraf uneasiuess. Aud yet the work was 2ri-U>eclUn (Constitutionalist. pushed on with the greatest haste, as is be lieved, in order that legislation might be se cured which should place the property in the hands of private parties before the Bureau was ft Dally closed. The proprietors of the patent brick machine themselves had no confidence in the litness of (he material they were selliug to the Govern ment, as is shown in the fact that in building their own private residence they were careful to put in inside walls of common brick. A Sbconp Noah.—lt is said—with entire truthfulness, of course—that a gentleman ol fortune living in the vicinity of Triune, in Williamson county, is troubled with the itffla that, another flood is about to deluge the world, the promise ol rainbows to the." contrary not withstanding, aud has, in consequence of this belief, and a laudable ambition to imitate the good precautionary example of Noah the first, determined to build and equip an immense floating ark, even if it takes the last dollar of his fortune to complete the project. With the aid of a skillful architect and a boss carpenter, the old gentleman has Succeeded in preparing a model of his coming ark of safety, which is said by competent judges who have been in it to be a most ingenious and perfect arrangement of the sort, the only exception in the structure being that there is no place in it for snakes. — This omission is accounted for by the well known antipathy ol the modern Noah to creeping things generally and the snake tribe in particular. He was nearly frightened out of his wits by the big snake discovery in his vicin ity last Summer, aud at that time earnestly ex pressed a desire for the power to exterminate the whole race of snakes. He thinks this pow er is now almost within his grasp, and makes the omission mentioned. The estimated cost of the work in extenso will be a trifle more or less than one hundred thousand dollars, and it is calculated that the necessary number of me chanics can complete the structure inside of two weeks. This mammoth floating palace, it built strictly in accordance with the directions of its designer, will be two hundred feet long, one hundred feet wide and six stories high.— When completed, it is to he substantially and beautifully provisioned, and then its builder, having gathered into its ample capacity all his family and friends and two out of every living species, snakes excepted, will quietly and ro cnrely wait the coming of the flood. From present indications, the waiting period will he brief. If the worst comra to the worst, turn your boat loose, old Triune friend of man. and float your standard ark until the waters subside.

I “ The Highest Bor in America.”— The son of Joshua Sears, of Boston, who died ten years ago, is popularly supposed to be the richest boy in the United States. He is fourteen years of age. The father, whose property was valued at $1,000,000, after bequeathing fflnall sums to his relatives, provided that his son should have $2,500 annually until attaining the age of twenty-one ; the sum of $30,000 at that period ; $4,000 annually until he had passed the age of twenty-four ; SO,OOO annually until he had pass ed the age of thirty, and $20,000 per annum after that time. Young Sears is well provided for, to say the least, but he is not, perhaps the richest young man in America, ns is commonly supposed. “Thus much money shalt thou have, and no more,” seems to Tiave been the Intention of the rich father, who knew the value of monev, and felt content to bequeath Ike young man sufficient io giro him a good education, and funds enough to commence business with in good shape seven ycnis hence. The property remains in the hands of three trustees, and the simple interest On theoiigi nal amount, added to the principal, has reapti ed the sum of $8,200,000, while the assessed value ot the real estate bringing this sum is valued at $20,000 000. The trustees have a sal ary of $5,000 each, and the commissions receiv ed' from the collection of rents amount to a sum equal to the salary of the President ol the United States Young Sears is now in Europe, where he is tilting himself for the active duties of life. —Harrisbnra Telegraph.

Vesuvius and A?tna. —Professor Palmier!, of Naples, has-communicated the following to the journals of that city : o The cooling of the lava of Vesuvius having been the signal lor an eruption of AJ'na, many persons will probably desire to know what the former is doing while Mongibello is on fire. These Iwo volcanoes, which have nearly always existed independent, appear lately to have es tablished some sort of unison. On the night of the 26th ol November the last current of molt en ftnid descended from the first named moun tain, and on the 37th a majestic and dazzling crest appeared on the Sicilian one. The ten cones of eruption of Vesuvius instantly lost their frightful activity ; but the small crater which had been formed about ball way up the great cone still emits much smoke ; at night there are luminous reflections. The summit of the elevation where the small cone of 1866 was situated has disappeared, and that ol 1867, which lias lowered considerably, still allows much smoke to escape, accompanied by some noise. The heat is intense in all the higher steaming crevices.” Tiix Bankrupt Law. —Tin*. Macon Telegraph publishes tiib following extract from a letter re ceived by one of the law firms in that city, for one of the Registers in Bankruptcy, which it says, “ may serve to correct certain popular misapprehensions iu reference to the Bankrupt law: “There. can be no question of the right of creditors to force debtors into bankruptcy after January 1,1868. This is an important branch of the law and permanent. There can be no doubt, too, that petitions (voluntary) can be filed after January 1, 1868, the same as before, and the case proceed. AU the difference is, a majority of those proving claims must consent in writing or the bankrupt cannot be discharg ed unless his assets pay 50 per eent." f Intelligencer , 4 th.
