B6~ The mixed and uncertain nature of the Republican Ccanvass for, Goxefnor in Massachusetts is illustrated by tho queries which 8 correspondent reports to the Springfield Republican as the chief topics of political discussion in Boston. He writes: .'Is General Butler going to be ,a candidate for Governor? Is Governor Claflin, going to withdraw?

LITCHFIELD SOLDIERS MONU-
 5E MENT.

The Litchfeld Soldiers Monument ar- rived on Wednesday last, and was set up on the foundation prepared in the East Park ,on Thursday. It is of Italian marble, about twenty feet in height, resting on a granite base feet 8 inches square and IS inches high. The marble base is 31S feet square and 16 inches high, upon which rests the de, containing the inscriptions, about 211S feet square and 311a feet high. Above this rises the shaft, divided into three sec- tions. each resting on its own tolintb, or base, the lower of which is ornamented with stars. and the two upper inscribed with the following names of battles: Cold Harbor, North Anna, Ft Harrison. Fishers Hill Winchester. Petersburg, Antietam, Ft. Darling. 'ao .s .@...<4 7se
 The monument fronts south. Surround ing the inscription, r' Pro Patria,'' on the de. are carved various military emblems, with two extremely we'll executed figures of officers in mourning attitude on each side above. On the second section of the shaft are carved the State arms with flags,
 and the Sixth Army Corps badge beneath. The designis simple and in good taste, the workmanship neat,and the proportions just. The people of the village and others who have seen it seem greatly pleased and en- tirely satisfied with the monument. and we consider it very creditable to the place and to the firm who designed and executed it, Messrs. Bissell. of Poughkeepsie. NY. The ,committee of ladies who have had charge of the affair deserve the thanks of theicommunity for the energy they have shown in raising the necessary money, and procuring 50 creditable monument

That's the Kind.

A spirited Minnesota girl dismissed
her lover on learning that he gave her
father drink of whisky. That's the
kind. If all the girls in the land
would go and do likewise, our country
would be cursed with fewer young men
who, by their drinking habits, have
ruined themselves, and may be the
means of breaking many fond hearts
1t is within the power of every woman,
particularly every young and unmar-
ried one, to WELD mighty influence
on the side of right, and against the
demoralizing and degrading usages of
society, if she only so wills it, and
she is not true to her own and the best
interests of her race if she does not

involving the happiness of millions,
and no half way measures can meet
the case. Prompt, decided, energetic
action is called for. We recommend

Take IL Ol,t ia Trade.

A lathy looking fellow entered a
down.east restaurant, and ordered a
double stew of oysters. The man who
kept the restaurant was a small, red
headed individual, evidently high tenn
pered. He prepared the stew in quick
time, and the lathy fellow sat down to
his repast, and ate with enviable relish,
after which he selected first class ci-
gar, RECALLED himself with mug of
foaming ale, sitting with his feet ele-
waited upon the top of the stove. He
was very deliberate and self-possessed.
After the cigar had almost disappear
ed in smoke, he called for his bill.
'Sixty-fve cents, said the proprie
tor.
How is this?' asked the lath.
Fifty cents for the double stew, and
fifteen cents for the cigar
You forgot the ale,' remarked the
lathy fellow, looking quite serious.
'Ah, yes, that is ten cents more

The headed man made no reply, |
and the fellow kept his seat.

The red-headed man opened his

Then how do you expect to pay the

Keeping Secrets.

A good way to keep secret is to
keep it to yourself If you tell one
you might as well tell everybody

celebrated painter, which illustrates
finely the power which secret has to
propagate itself, if once allowed a little
airing, and to reach fey ears. Stu
art had, as he supposed, discovered a
scored art of coloring-very valuable.
He told it to a friend. His friend
valued it very highly, and came a time
afterward to ask permission to commu-
nicate it, under the oath of eternal Sc
cresy, to friend of his who needed
every possible aid to enable him to
rise.
Let me see,' said Stuart, making a
chalk mark on board at hand, Il

A BRIDE AND BRIDEGROOM IN ITO.
The following description of cou-
pie on their wedding day, in 1770, is
amusing and interesting: To begin
with the lady. Her locks were strain
ed upwards over an immense cushion
that sat like an incumbus on her head,
and plastered over with pomatum, and
then sprinkled with shower of white
powder. The height of this tower was
somewhat over foot. One single
white rosebud lay on its top, like an
eagle on hay stack. Over her neck
and bosom was folded lace handker-

containing her grandfather's miniature
set in virgin gold. Her airy form was
braced up in satin dress, the sleeves
as tight as the natural skin of her arm,
with waist formed by bodice, worn
outside, whence the skirt flowed off,
and was distended at the top by an
ample hoop. Shoes of white kid, with
peaked toes, and heels of two or three
inches elevation, enclosed her feet and
glittcred with spangles as her little
pedal members peeped curiously out.
Now for the swain. His hair was
sleeked back and plentifully beAoured,
while his queue projected like a handle
to skillet. His coat was a sky-blue
silk, lined with fellow; his long vest
