only in Germany, but throughout
Europe and the world, this Ie-
newed attempt on the part of the
socialists 10 take the life of one OF
the most venerable of reigning
sovereigns will excite the utmost
detestatiop, and we hope it will
serve also to excite a still deeper
horror of the principles which
lead directly to the commission OF
such acts. The Communists and

Thanking the die on each side
are two half pyramids, sur
mounted by urns. From each
urn protrudes a blazing funeral
torch. Next above the die is a
pedestal three feet high and
two feet square, ornamented
with molding, fillet aid bead
work. On the pedestal front is
an open Bible, directly beneath
a scroll Constitution. On the
left-hand page of the Bible
rests a hand, pointing toward
the Constitution, and also rep
resenting the taking of the oath
Of Office. Rising from the pc
destal is the shaft, fifteen feet
high, with square corners. On
the top of the shaft is large
globe, from which an eagle,
with outspread wings, looks
down seemingly in anticipation
of an attack. Thrown over the
shaft, and extending halfway
down, is the American flag,
with the field of stars at the top
of the shaft. The lower half
of the column is plain. The
whole structure is Of gray New
Hampshire granite, with all en-
tire height of twenty-seven feet
and base of nine by seven
feet. The monument looks to
the east, which is the only one
inscribed. Mr.. johnson, some
time before his death, selected
the spot on which he was to be
buried.
The orator Of the occasion,
Hon. Geo. w. Jones, was for
several years a member of the
National House Of Representa-
tives, serving from 1843 to the
breaking out of the civil war,
and in ante bellum days few pol

people of Tennessee. In Con-

to take money from the Treasu-

Of collector JONES'" and with
his friends went under the title
of "The Watchdog of the
