granite and naturally absorbs water

origin and significance. The conception
likely to become popular is that as the
obelisks were erected upon the eastern
bank of the river Nile and the pyramids
upon the western, tho obelisks were
typical Of the rising sun, the symbol Of
generative and preservstive power In
tie pantheistio nature Worship, and the
pyramids were typical Of the setting

There seems to be a little sprin-

camp in consequence Of a certain
star chamber proceedings of the
Executive committee at jackson
In fixing up a slate for the party
without a convention. The Bates.
vile Blade, fully aware that the Ex-
ecutive committees are the crea-
lures OF conventions, empowered
only 10 act in the interims of their
sessions, and bound to call annual
conventions and lay down their au-
thority at the meeting OF each,
talks little sharply on the subject,
and gives it distinctly to be under

"the wishes Of the people must be

one in an ague. He took a glass

features resembled the face of a
corpse, as much as a man.

delighted to see Lottle getting her

from her satchel, and handing the
envelope to Mr.. Bowles, asked him
if he knew the handwriting to
