SMART DoG.-The town of Astoria,

that has been heard from lately, if Van
Dustan tells the truth about his canine.
W hile visiting Tillamock Beach this
summer. the dog was troubled very
much with feas, and had become tired
of scratching He was discovered one
day hunting around the house for some
thing, and finally picked up piece of
loose, soft cotton batting, and startedo off
for the beach with the cotton sticking
out of his mouth. He went to the wa
ter, slowly backing down into it, and
holding his head up so as to keep the
cotton dry The feas started for his
head and the dog kept backing into the
water, and finally there was but the
cotton out of water, when suddenly the
cotton disappeared, and the dog made
his appearance minus cotton and feas.
The cotton was picked out Of the water
and was found to be actually alive with
feas.

The Gettysburg Monument.

This monument, the contract for con-
structing which, as has already been an
nounced, has been awarded to its de-
signer, James G. Patterson, is describ-
ed as follows:
The monument is % feet square at
the base, and 55 feet in height At the.
angles of the base are four buttresses,
each supporting collosal statue in a
sitting posture. These statues are alle-
gorical, and represent, respectively,
War, History, Peace and Plenty. War
is represented by the figure of an Amer
lean soldier, who, resting from the con-
iiot, relates to History the story of the
battle and the names of the honored
dead, while History with her stylus and
tablet writes down the imperishable
record. The corresponding statues SYM
bolize Peace and Plenty. Peace is
represented by mechanic with the i'm
plements of his trade about him. Plenty
is typiGed by female figure with a
sheaf of wheat and ploughshare. These
last figures indicate the industry and
activity which shall succeed the ravages
of war, and the abundance which are the
crowning results of the glorious victory
here achieved.
Upon the richly moulded cornice
rests an octagonal plinth, bearing in
basso relieve the coat of arms of the
United States. On the shaft above
and encircling it, are Is stars in relieve
representing the states which remained
loyal throughout the fiery trial. The
capital is finely moulded, and supports
a three quarter globe, upon which
stands the colossal statue, Is feet high,
representing the Genus of Liberty,
clasping with her left arm the folds of
the American flag, while in her raised
right hand she holds the victor's wreath
of laurels. The pedestal is to be made
of fine white granite, and the statues of
white American marble. The monu-
ment will stand upon the crown of the
hill where the cemetery is located
Around it, in semi-circular slopes, will
lie-the bodies being now buried-the
honored dead, each man being separ-
ately coffined, and the men of each
State together in sections The divisions
between the States are marked by alleys
leading from the monument to the out
er circle; the cofined rows are divided
by continuous granite blocks about six
inches in height, upon which the name
and regiment of each soldier, as far as
ascertained, is inscribed, as for his prop
er headstone.

Geary Nominated for Vice President.

General Geary's besctting sin is his
vanity. Having dyed his hair and whis-
k"rs, and gotten himself up regardless of
expense after he had Secured control of
ihe e!cctioneering fund Of the Radicals. he
strntted through the recent campaign with
the AIR OF peacock. Ills friends know
las weak point, and they play upon it
eksiliully. The latest specimen ofthe kind
which We have seen IS q mock serious nom
luatiOu Of ihe hero Of Snickers,i ille as the
next Radical candidate for the Vice I'resi-
dency. Simon Cameron has had that
done through his organ, the Harrisburg
IeleyruIa. The article assures us that
+ orney has been getting the inside track
at the Winnebago chief. Since he has
been detected as the author of Geary's
speeches, Simon has decided that some
thing must be done to break the effect of
that intimacy. He accordingly has Geary
proposed as & candidate for the Vice Pres
Idcncy. That is a stroke worthy of the
great political financier. Geary viii be
fool enough to think Cameron can secure
linn nomination, and will put himself
into his exclusive keeping. Forney had
better look sharp. He has one change
left. Let him nominate Geary for Presi-
dent Our word for if, If he runs his name
zap at the head of both his newspapers,
Cameron will be completely checkmated
in his own game. let him take our ad-
vice, and he can continue TO own the
next Governor Of Pennsylvania, and to
dictate no: only his speeches but all his
action A word on such a subject to so
shrewd politician as f0Tney will be suf-
fcient, we are sure.

The South will not Adopt the Amend
mentS.

We consider ii TO be settled that no
single Southern State will voluntarily en-
dorse the proposed amendments to the
Constitution. The objections which they
urge cannot be overcome. The action OF
several of the States, and the tone of the
Southern Press, almost without exception,
lead us to that conclusion. The most re-
markaJle feature in the matter is the
great calmness with which Southern jour
nails approach the question. There is no
bluster and not the slightest attempt to
arouse the passions of the people. They

their domestic affairs and the local inter
esls of their States and communities.
They urge them to abandon the contro!
OF the Fedora! Government to the Radi-
Gals, for the present, and 10 devote all
their time and energies to repairing their
broken fortunes. Southern newspapers

railroads and erecting manufactures in

greater source of complaint with them
Than the past or proposed action of Con
gress. They have declared The proposed
amendments TO be Of such character
that the people of the South can never
adopt them, and having done that they
quietly direct attention to local concerns.
That the newspapers fully express the
settled resolve Of the people we have no
doubt, They are prepared to bide their
time, Preftrring to continue to be nnrep-
resented in Congress rather than to sub
mit to terms which they regard as degra-
ding. They assert that Congress has no
r!ght to make any such conditions prece-
dent, but being powerless to control the
matter, they are content to wait until
reason resumes its sway in the North.
That they will stand firmly by their con-
sictiOus thus expressed, there is no reason
to doubt. How the Radicals will meet
This Kind of opposition TO their revolution
AIRY designs remains 10 be seen. They
cannot deny the right of the Southern
States to reject the proposed amendments.
In submitting them for adoption, they
fully recognize the right Of the people oi
the different States TO approve OF to repu-
diate them The people of the Socth
having decidcdno TO accept them, the rad
icala are AT the end Of that strirg What
new move they will make we can only
vaguely conjecture. They must do some
thing. They cannot neither stand still
nor 90 backward. To do either is to
meet political death They must advance

Congress with no little anxiety.

to the Press boldly announced on Satur-
day last that if Governor Swami was
elected United States Senator by the
Legislature of Maryland, the Radicals
would not permit him to take his seat.

The Season of Storms.

The blasts of Autumn and the chill storms
Of early winter are apt to make sad inroads
upon the constitutions of the feeble. In old
times at the commencement of every season
was the fashion to take a strong cathartic
as a safeguard against change of tempera-
ture. 1t was worse than useless practice
The people Of our Cay understand the mat
ter better. Instead of depicting the system
they reinforce it. Inthe method they adopt
they exhibit wise discrimination. Instead
of resorting to the vitiatcd stimulants of
commerce, or any of the compounds derived
from them, they put their faith in the only
absolutely pure invigorant procurable in the
market-HOSTETTER STOMACH BIT
TIERS. Their faith is well founded. Never
has any tonic medicine been prepared with
such scrupulous precision and conscientious
care. 1t is a vegetable compound of which
every ingredient is sound, wholesome, and
medicinal in the true sense of the word.
Now we have three prominent national COM
plants One-half of the adult population of
the United States suffer more or less, either
from diseases of the stomach, arrangements
of the liver, or affections of the kidneys
In no other land under the Heaven are these
maladies 50 general as in this country, and
HosTETTER's BITTERs is a specific for them
all, unless organic in their origin, and. there
fore, beyond cure. And let those who are
fortunate enough to be exempt from them
at present understand one great fact. viz :
that an occasional use of this vitalizing tonic
will as certainly prevent them as the sun
will prevent the earth from freezing where
its genial beams descend Communicated

BRUTAL MURDER.-A shocking murder

on the road leading to Talcott Mountain.
Between and O'Clock, youngman call
ed at the house, and requested Mr.. ThomP-
son to assist him, as his wagon had broken
down. Mr.. Thompson went out with the
stranger, and was found by his street gate
about an hour afterwards, under tree on
the highway, brutally murdered. His
skull was broken open with some instru-
ment or club No arrests were made, but
the Hartford police are on the track of
the supposed murderer. A suspicious
character has been seen for several days
hanging about the village, and is supposed
to be the murderer. Robbery was the
probable cause, as Mr.. Thompson had
some money and bonds in the house.

:. II is one Of the practical results of

though it may strike some with surprise,
it is certainly creditable to the district

exception OF ward in New Bedford, the
only ward in this State which has a large

the home of John A. Andrew, and there
seems to be a peculiar propriety that tie

HAn Iron Man in Congress" "

The ,Johnstown Tribune came 10 US
last week with an article of which the
above was the heading. 1t purported to
come from the New York Iron Age,
paper which is entirely controlled by
rich and prosperous company of Iron
Lords. We quote:
"The circumstances attending the cleo
tion of d. J. Morrell, Esq, ofthe Cam
bria Iron Works, for the Seventeenth
Congressional District of Pennsylvania,
are exceedingly fattering to himself per-
sonally, and we feel honorable to the
trade"
If the Iron Age regards the crcum-
stances as exceedingly fattering," it is
sufficient but we would inform them that
they are mistaken in their calculations
d. J. Morrell was elected under circum-
stances disgraceful to himself and injurious
to his party He was elected by coloni-
zing over eight hundred votes in Johns
town and suburtans. His election cost
him more than his salary as Congressman
for the forthcoming two years. And this
is what the Iron Agc styles Z" fattcring.' ,
| Again:
6 We can well understand how many
sensible Democrats and grateful working
men voted for gentleman, the practical
effect Of whose principles they saw in the
prosperity in the locality in which he re-
sides, and whose genial kindness had en-
deared him to many democratic -
employee. We congratulate the country
and the trade on Mr. Morrell's election. -
1t is all very we'll to congratulate the
trale, but as for the country it is entirely
different While the Iron Iiade will be
eventually benefited by it, the country
and its interests VIII certainly suffer.
Query-was this article written in Johns
town and sent on to the Age for pubica-
ton or did the editor Of the Age manu-
facture it of the scrap which usually
accrues around iron manufactures
