THERE is cat which has for several years
made its home at the large warehouse of Dana
q Co., at the head of Central wharf, which
shows a remarkable power of observation if not
of reason. 1t first came to that store for food
when in quite wild state, and though in some
sense now domesticated still is by no means
tame, very rarely allowing any famliarities to
be taken with it. Most of its time is spent in
the upper lofts of the warehouse. The remark
able thing about it is its habit of coming down
every day at precisely high tide for a fish then
regularly caught for it from the wharf 1t
shows quite Enthusiastically the fact that it is
familiar with the phenomena of the tides, and
connects the ever-varying time of high water
with its daily meal We have known cows
pastured on islands connected with the main
land by sand bars uncovered at low water, to
show similar faculty. They will come home
early in the afternoon if the tide serves only at
that time Transcript

Arrest Decay.

When plant or tree begins to decay it must
needs die. 1t cannot be revtalized. But it is not
so with human beings. A human ruin can be repair
ed, strengthened, restored, through brown leaf or
withered blade of grass can never be made green
again. In the autumn of life even in its winter
when nature seems to be giving way under the pres
of years. is still possible to retard the progress
Of decay, and to lend to age more than its wonted
vigor. AS a means of promoting this object, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is PROFESSIONALLY the most
potent of all restoratves. 1t will not make the old
young but it will prevent lessen, sooth the in
frmities which the usual accompaniments of the
decline of life. For debility and a lack of nervous
power, from whatever arising, it is the medicine
that of all others before the world best deserves the
of specific. In purity, in nvigoratng proper
ties, in its adoption to weak stomachs and feeble
CARNATIONS, it has competitor among the tonics of
the pharmacop9ia, nor among proprietary remedies.
Besides its strengthening principle it possesses alters
ative regulating properties of the highest ORDER
and as ant-bilious medicine is far preferable to
any of the preparations containing mercury. Time
has shown that for physical decay, nervous debility,
dyspepsia, bilious disorders, and intermittent fever,
HOstetters Bitters is remedy without rival.
This is the of the fall of the leaf let it remind
the DID, the feeble the scky, to invgorate and reg
uate their systems with this great vegetable tonic
and Alternative.

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS AND THE PASSIVE POLICY
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 29.-John Quincy Adams has
written a letter to the st. Louis Republican IA
voring the passive policy. He says: 81 am sat-
isficd that such a course will be wise and patri-
otic and should be glad to see the democracy
conquer in such resolution. l regard the
present administration as national calamity
and its continuance should be averted at any sac
rifce, not because it is Republican in politics but
it is mean in character sordid in tone and ieno-
rant corrupt and arbitrary-because more than
any administration we have had it has disanpoint
ed the hopes and deadencd the generous aspira-
tons of the good men of all partes-because it
is doing more to permanently disunite the
States than the government of Jefferson Davis
ever did and because it Chief conceiyes that
there is no means for a free government. but
military force-no public action but private pro-
fit -Four years more of such education family
patronage and martial law, will so blunt the
keen sensibilites of popular liberty that our ig-
noble incumbus might well remain fixture
No; believe the Democratic party to be DOW
erless alone to relieve us, and think it is with
out hope of carrying the next election There
is no doubt if the votes of any of the States in
rebellion was necessary to elect a Democratic
candidate they would be thrown out in the
counting: A mere majority, even if it could be
mustered, would not be permitted to elect
Democrat for the next President Nothing
then remains but a civil war or submission
to the usurper, and it is difficult to de-
eide which alternative will inflict the more If
reparabie injury upon the habit ~ OF free gov
eminent.
To dismiss an incompetent official and avoid
a governmental crisis, the 'No Policy offers
| the only reasonable possibility which has been
presented, but while frankly avow Partially
for the project, not blink at the very. serious
| obstacles to its adoption. We must su5due the
