A lady of this place had q re-

no chance for its life If he got
within seventy-five yards of It.
He's a dead shot. They found
plenty of turkeys, and the first
shot Mr.. Ell. got was at a distance
of about twenty-five yards. He
blazed away, and when he gather
ed himself up and took an inven-
tory, he found he was minus a
tube and one of the hammers of
his gun, and had black eye and
a sprained wrist. He is of the
opinion that the whole load pass
ed out of the tube hole. The tur-
key plumed its wings and few
away. The next shot he got his
gun snapped, the turkey blinked
his eye and bid him good morn
ing, Since his return he has very
little to say about his skill as a
turkey hunter, and he has no
faith whatever In the reliability
of the ordinary shot gun. He has
concluded to buy his Thanksgiv-
ing turkey, as the wild ones are
all very poor, and not fit to
roast. PORTER.

Henry Ward Beecher and George III.
Stuart ready for casting. The mon-
ument is to be erected by the Nat
ional Lincoln Monument Associa-
ton, which was formed some years
ago, and will be recognized this
winter. Bronze has been supplied
by the government in the shape of
condemned cannon. Congress will
be asked to appropriate funds for
the pedestal, and the other expenses
will be met by private subscriptions.
The site has not yet been decided
upon, but the sculptor will urge the
selections of Judiciary Square. The
present plan of the monument is as
follows The main structure will
be granite, in three stories, approach
ed by three steps, each several feet
in height. The shaft will have three
concave sides. At the base there
will be six equestrian statues, each
about eighteen feet high, and stand
ing on jutting pedestals. The stat
ues will be of Generals Grant, Sher-
man, Sheridan, Thomas Howard
and Wadsworth. AT the three cor
ners of the second story will be COM
memorative statues, one of Freder-
lex Douglass, and typical of the re-
suits of emancipation another of
Liberty succoring disabled soldiers
and the third of a volunteer or of a
naval officer or a sailor. Between
these, on the granite sides, will be
placed has, reliefs, the front one rep
resenting the firing on Fort Sumter
and the other the Senate and House
adopting the amendments to the con-
stitution. Around the third story
will be grouped the statues Of those
prominent in civil positions during
the war. AT the front will be rep
resented the following members of
Lincoln's Cabinet Chase, Seward,
Stanton, Blair and Welles. On an
other side will be Simon Cameron,
Caleb B. Smith and Edward Bates,
all of the Cabinet; Thaddeus Ste
vens, who is given place as friend
of Lincoln: DR.. Bellows as found
er Of the Sanitary Commission, and
George I'll. Stuart, of the Christian
Commission. Bishop Simpson will
represent the pulpit, and Henry
Ward Beecher will also have a stat
ne. On the third side there will be
an alto.relief representing the sur
render of General Lee, from a de-
scription furnished by General
Grant. Above will tower allegorical
figures of President Lincoln, twelve
feet high, signing the emancipation
proclamation, Will dominate the
whole work. 1t is intended to have,
in all, thirty.six bronze statues, the
positions of some of which have not
yet been decided upon.

Chicago Manufactures illustrate
With much greater emphasis than
even the population returns the
rapid growth ofthat city. There
are now 1852 manufacturing estab-
lishments there, employing 113, 507
hands and capital of $50, 000, 900.
The wages paid amount to $37 900
900 the materials used are valued
at $l78, 900, 900, and the output of
products at $4,000, 1000. These
figures, however. when Analysed,
show that it is not the manufac-
turers but the artisans of Chicago
who need protection" The pay
of the operatives is only 1926 per
annum while the capital earns, in
the value of output over and
above cost of material and labor, q
dividend amounting to 423 per
cent or $34,000.000 per annum.
In other words, the dividends on
an invested capital of $50, 900, 900
are only 100000 less than the
total earnings of 1l3, 507 hands.
