The Douglas Monument.

|
For several months past the Hsllowel Granite
Company have been engaged, in addition to their
other enterprises, in the manufacture OF a monu-
ment to be placed upon the tomb of the late Hon
|, Stephen A. Douglas, in the city of Chicago, Ill.
The monument is of elegant proportions and ex-
qusite Workmanship. aud will compare favorably
with any structure of he kind in this county or
elsewhere. Upon the tomb rests granite base,
fourteen feet square, with polished shields upon
each corner and above this is pnth Of proper
Tomato dimensions supporting die with polished
panels. The die is capped with another stone
carved in laurel wresths and festoons 10 the fRest
and most tisiic style of workmanship. Upon
this stands round granite shaft fifty feet in
length, encitcled with bands Of thity-eight pol
shed stars, ard with oak leaf trimmings orna-
menting the cap. Surmounting the whole is .
colossal statue of Stephen A. Douglas, ten feet
in height AID in proportionate size. The whole
height of the structure will be ninety five f. ct
The monument is nearly completed, and will be
transported by rail to its dc sination in the course
OF five six weeks.
This is but one of the many monuments and
other important works completed and in process
of construction by this company; and notwith-
standing the hard times, and consequent low
figures demanded by contractors for work of this
kind, the llsowel Granite Company have man
aged to keep their business prog ressing thus far
nshing employment for large number of work.
men who otherwise might have found it difficult
to obtain work during the past winter. All de-
paitments of the business are conducted in the
most systematic manner; and no threatened
strikes or other unpleasant experience have ever
arisen to mar the mutual interets or friendly rela-
tons between the company and their workmen.
As business improves a still brighter prospect may
confidently be assured, resulting in mutual benefit
to all concerned.

IT is said that Ia lees than a quarter Of
a century the Turks have borrowed 81 ,OOO,-
100000. Out of this sum about SAC, O,OO0..
600 have been spent in araments, military
and naval, and the balance has gone to
enrich viziers, pashas, middlemen, finan.
ciers, commission agents, and to maintain
the luxury Of harems and royal palaces
1t is thought that the present movement
among the deladed bondholders Of Eng
land and France will possibly result in
combinations of spectators who will buy
up the present scrip at little better than
the price Of waste paper, and then by much
infringing and .great patience they may
secure some kind Of compromise. It is
within the bounds Of reason to believe that
-uch q combination will bend all their in.

loan to pay q compensation Of something

The special "roles" which are being played
in this solemn farce BY Germany, Austria

positions of their several plenipotentiaries
Bismarck is President of the Congress, and
in that capacity he gratifes the Gernani
idea, which sees in him the representative
of Germany as the ruler aud srbitsr Of the
dsstinies of Europe. Austria, hoping for
extension of power aud territory, even be-
yond what Russia was willing to eopcede
to her,-is represented BY the ambitious
Andrassey. England Is represented by
Disraeli, who hopes to end his political
life in the retirement of dncal honors, and
will spare no means TO that end. Hi
