This is tbe general charac ter of the Grecian Doric. This is almost constantly placed upon three steps, proportioned to the height of the order, and not to the human step: the shafts of the columns diminish with a beautiful curve line from the bottom to the cintore below the armulets : the flutes quently m a k e s an acute angel with tbe upright of the frize also. The general proportions of tbe Doric Order are as fol lows. The column* are six diameters in height, the superior diameter is four-frt^lys, ,m d the aldtudinal dimeiasioii of the c a p i tal two-fiflhs of the inferior diameter.— The height of the capital is divided into two equal parts, giving the oper one to the abacus, and the lower to the echinus, and annulets: divide the lower into fiv^ jarts, giving one to the annulets, and four are without fillets, of a ciicular or elliptic to tbe ovolo: divide the height ol the section, and terminate immediately below then entablature into tour parts, giving the annulets; the anuulets of the capital the contour of the ovolo: above them the band crowning the top of the architrave it one continued string witfyut breaks; the guttae under the rcgula, ai d undei the mutules, are generally of a cylindri ;ihe frize as seen in front and one to tlie cal form, at least tapering upwards in a arckitrave. ____ ______________ ___ very small degree.

Cha.^ineux, president of the parliament of the Province, ia a work published in 1631, discusses the question whether an imals are amenable to a court of justice, and decides in the affirmative. He gives th«- detail of a prosecution against some Mo.ybu.qs of JBeaune, and other suits a- gainst some snails at Atun in 1487, at Lyons iu 1500, at Macon in 1486, and against a number of rats at Atun in the n * same period. It moreover, appears ac cording to a detailed report ot the pres ident then, lhat Chassineux was the counsel employed for the defendants in the la*t case, viz: the rats 5 and that nf- terthe subpoena, issued by the magistrate acting in the name of tbe public minister, he eudeavored to have the charge put off. lie represented that a single sub- pcene was insufficient as his clients were scattered over'lie village. A new sum mons was issued, which wag read at the public ^qu^res of the town at the conclu sion of mass. At the conclusion of the time allowed to the advocate to assemble his numerous clients, be explained to the court the difficulty he experienced iu meeting the rats, in consequence of the geneial notice which had been given, by which the cats had become informed cf the proposed meeting, and threatened lo take advantage of their appearance abroad. Having exhausted all his eloquence the lawyer threw his clients upon the huraauity and justice of the court.
