these beds the Fish Geranium was the

grouped and massod together its effect

some OF our party to turn their atten-

will recollect, is erected from funds
bequeathed by an Englishman by the
name of Smithson to the United States
for the promotion of the arts and
sciences and the general dissemination

Agricultural department. Here are
collected the seeds, fruits, woods, barks
and generally the productions of the
vegetable kingdom of the world that
is specimens. And there are also
many curiosities.
In the other buildings are speci-
mems Of birds, fishes, insects, and ami
mails of all kinds--in a word all that
can creep. fly, wade, walk, run or
swim on this earth of ours-and also
of some who races are now extinct, as
the Irish Elk, the Megaiherium, and

that escaped my notice. Near by this

THE Poarisburg GAZETTE charg-
cs that Gov. Hayes, the republi-
can candidate for the Presidency,
was along with the Federal forces
that were sbelled out of Pearls
burg in 1864, and that he left his
bill unpaid at Mrs. Woodrum's
hotel. The Monroe EGIsTER
says:
Col, Hayes did not sneak away, he
had to evacuate Pearisburg hurriedly
IN the night, owing to the rapid adj
vance or a superior rebel force, and he
could not then attend to the little ho-
The excuse is good only SO far.
If Hayes left in his night clothes
he has had twelve years in which
to pay the widow Woodrum, and
we presume he has hardly forgot
ten his shirt-tail escape from
Harrisburg, If he passed the
Narrows with his breeches on chat
is rRnIA FAcIA proof that he was
not hurried and ought to have
paid. Our correspondent at New

facts.

THE JUDGESHIP ACROSS
THE LINE.

Our Tennessee friends of the
First Judicial Circuit seem to think
they have triangular struggle for
the crmine. Such an opinion we
dare to doubt the accuracy of.
Judge Butler has succeeded in
having himself endorsed by his
party for a position the very men
ton of which implies purity of
character. This will be valuable
to him in his troubles Mt Washing
ington City, where he is under in
dictment for allcdged frauds upon
the Government. His nomination
has been attacked by the Kncx>
vile CHRo oNICLE, ex-senator
Brownlow's paper, as one not fit
to have been made. The Jones
boro HERALD, edited by the Secre-
retary of the late Bulls Gap Con-
vcntion, which nominated him,
says Judge Butler cannot well ac>
cept owing to the pressure of his
private business. All this por-
tends, if it docs not compel the
early Withdrawal of Judge Butler,
in which case the republicans will
be without a candidate. Their obs
icct will be to defeat our nominee,
Judge Mckinney, who is opposed
by Hon. John Nethcrland, though
a brother-in-law of Mckinney
Mr.. Netherland says he is Il candi-
date Of no party, but prOfesses to
be the candidate Of the people, and
he condemns the practice of hasty
nominations for the bench. This
being the situation it looks very
strongly to us as if Judge Butler
is to withdraw with his party en-
dOrsement and allow the republi-
can to vote as a unit for Mr.. Meth
crland, the Independent candidate.
This they think, with what votes
he can poll from the Democratic
ranks, will enable him to defeat
Judge Mckinney.
This is the way the matter ap>
pears to us who have merely been
pccping through the cracks, and
we warn our democratic ncighbors
10 look well to what they are doing.
They need not plead that the re-
publicans will not vote for Neither
land, who is a cunning fox, and
will in our opinion vote every re-
publican in the district. Shall he
vote some Of the democrats to
boot? If so the move will be a
success.

Chills and Fever, Foul Breath, Restlessness

have no equal; their action is uniform, pro-

A special to the World from Rock

says: |'Our friend, Mr.. Kerr, died

been by his side for two days. HIS
last hours were painless, as he SO much
desired. His composure was as re
narkab(e as it was heroic. He was
Thoroughly content and prepared for
the unseen World. He was conscious
and intelligent, gentle and brave to
the end. His disease was consump-
item Of the bowels, but toward the last
his lungs were involved He has been
for days past in fact a disembodied, a
mere skeleton. Everything possible
to be done at this remote spot to soften
this blow to his family by throwing
the tenderest care around his dying
bed has been done, and the last Offices
