V J# ' "" ' 1 The Washington National Monument. Since the first day of January, 1S76, \ when the booming of cannon and ringing | of bells announced to the nation that the centennial year of American independence had dawned on the country, there Vv a /v^ /vl, rnAWAVlQO Uiia utTJl u iC)i>iU l'l ^iuiivuo lunuvuro and a more intense nationality taken pes- i session of the people. Representatives of foreign governments have visited our i shores and joined in our rejoicings. Not only has a more fraternal feeling been extended throughout our own loved land, ' but a kindlier regard toward distant na- | lions whose citizens have been our guests during this year of jubilee. The International Exposition at Philadelphia has eclipsed anything of the kind ever held, und nothing in the history of the world can compare with it. During the year the Washington Na- j tioual Monument society has been earn- | fstly and actively engaged in soliciting | subscriptions for the completion of the j monument, and their efforts have been j rewarded by noble responses from all classes and interests. Unlike any other I monument ever erected, this will truly be a national one, for the subscribers to i -i. 1 _,*! ! 3 K All 11 t'Lill-ntCt' lllluVlUUHlS, aSSUUiiUiUUS U1 Jill kinds, lodges of secret and beneficial ' societies, banks, military organizations, > churches, Sabbath-schools, State legis- | latures, municipal corporations, and dur- j ing the last session of . Congress, that , body made a donation of two hundred ! thousand dollars, and further co-operated j with the society by creating a commis- j sion, under whose direction the work is j to be prosecuted, consisting of the Presi- j dent of the United States, the supervis- ; ing architect of the Treasury department, ! the architect of the United States capitol, the chief .of engineers of the United States army and the first vice-president of the Monument society. If the country ; rteeded any assurance of the durability j of the work it has it in the names of the i eminent gentlemen who have been se- j lected for its supervision. The monument is now 174 feet in ; height, and has cost, thus far, $230,000. It is estimated that it will take $450,- j 000 to complete it; of this amount the society has in available assets and re- ! sponsible subscriptions about $300,000, j including the Congressional donation. The monument, when finished, will be at an altitude of 485 feet above the top of the foundation courses, which are 171 feet above the surface of the ground, thus really making the height 5021 feet. The foundations are laid eighty feet square eight feet below the surface, of solid masonry; the base of the obelisk is fifty-five feet square, with walls fifteen feet thick; the top of the monument will be 36.55 feet square, leaving a chamber j.1 : "i- l A_ ? ! oil uie xiisiue ox x?emy-xx>exeex btjuiur, in which tare placed the memorial blocks, eo arranged as to face the winding stairway that they can readily be seen by visitors.

In ruling the State he promoted good customs and did not depend on military merit; in this he differed from all nations.

The history of mankind affords no paral1 lei to this most noble work, which, when : completed, will be the highest structure ever erected, and stand as a tribute of a republic's love, admiration and gratitude toward him who, under the provMeuce ! of God, was the chief author of its freedom, its dignity and its happinessV I There is needed to complete the -work about 8150,000. The Monument society has had prepared a design of the monument, twenty-four by nineteen inches, showing it as it now stands and what it will be when finished, and on the same plate the terminations and heights of other prominent structures in the world, drawn to a scale as in comparison with the monument, making a beautiful and historical picture. That the contributors to the monument fund may have something to show their personal identity with the work, all subscriptions of fifty cents or over *fce acknowledged by the society with one of these designs, giving the name of the contributor and amount contributed. The Monument society appeals to the country to make up the amount needed to fully complete the monument. Certainly there is no one in Free America too poor to send their offerings of fifty cents to show their gratitude to Washing: ton for the inestimable blessings we as a people enjoy, which arJ mainly due to nr?/l oonwifi/vinrr HIS UISIIIlC-imiCA.l (iuu or/Ji~ou\. A iuvjua^ patriotism. No more glorious page of centennial history can be written than that full provision was mc<le in this glad year of the nation's jubilee for the finishing of this proud monument. Let the people everywhere, throughout all sections of our country, come together iu the closing days of this hundredth anniversary of the'nation'8 birth, and rallying around the name of Washington, send their offerings for the completion of the greatest and most noble undertaking the world has ever known. The officers of the Monument society are: U. S. Grant, President of the United States, ex-officio President; Hon. Robert C. Winthrop aud W. W. Corcoran, VicePresidents ; J. B. H. Smith, Treasurer ; John B. Blake, Secretary. All contributions should be sent to John B. Blake, Secretary Washington National Monument Society, Washington, D.

When deer are not met with except at so great a distance from a settlement that the night lias to be passed in the woods, a commodious snow house is erected iu a marvelously brief time by the attendant Esquimaux. They roll small lumps of snow into heavy, compact heaps, which being shaped into square pieces, are placed one over the other until four walls are raised. If it freezes they throw water upon eacli layer to render the structure more compact. Sled poles are lashed together and laid across the top. Blocks of snow are placed upon these, and the crevices in every 'direction are tilled in with soft XI i_j:? n.?

Vitality and Alcohol. The records of the STares Arctic expedition do not bear out the theory maintained by some that alcohol is a potent ; sustainer of vitality. If such were the fact, its good effects ought to be clearly displayed upon men undergoing unusual fatigue in a temperature many degrees below zero. On the contrary, the confirmed teetotalers, though subjected to ! the same labors and hardship as their companions, in every instance escaped scurvy, and remained in excellent health. A man named Gore, a good templar, succumbed to temptation while on a sledge journey, and took grog. After this he i lost his appetite, ceased to have refreshing sleep, and was eventually attacked with scurvy. Ayles and Aldrich, the only teetotalers in the sledge party, were the only ones who escaped the scurvy. The testimony of both ships' companies, doctors and officers included, was unanimous against serving out stimulants during the day, as they emphatically stated that no work could be done upon grog.

Come Now and Let Us Reason Together Why do people so frequently sav to Dr. Pierce : "I suppose your Golden Medical Discovery cures everything V" lie cause it has been the practice of knavish charlatans to manufacture worthless nostrums and attempt to dupe the ignorant and credulous by recommending them to cure every form of disease. To such an extent has this been practiced that it is no wonder that many have acquired prejudices against all advertised remedies. But Dr. Pierce does not* advertise his standard preparations as "curealls," does not claim that they will perform miracles, but simply publishes the fact thai they have been developed as specifics for certain forms of disease for which he recommend* them, after bavin? tested their efficacy in manv hundred cases with the most gratifying success. It is a fact known to even* well informed physician that many single remedies possess several different properties. Quinine, for instance, ha# a tonic quality, which suggests its use in cases of debility; an anti-periodic, by which it is efficacious in ague; and a febrifuge property, which renders it efficacious in cases of fever, The result of its administration will also van with the quantity given and the circumstance* under which it is employed. So, likewise, tli< Golden Medical Discovery possesses both pectoral and alterative, or blood cleansing properties of the highest order. By reason of thesw two prominent properties it cures two classes ol diseases. First, those of the respiratory organs as throat, bronchial and lung affections, chroni< coughs and asthma, and Becond, diseases of th< blood and glandular system, in which afTection! all skillful physicians employ alteratives, as ir , cases of blotches, eruptions, ulcers, swellings tumors, abscesses, and in torpor of the liver, oi ''biliousness." While its use is, by its combi nation of properties, suggested in cases of pul mouarv consumption, yet you need not take i' expecting it will cure you if your lungs are hal: consumed, nor because it is recommended as i blood medicine would its proprietor advise yoi to take it, expecting it to cure cancer. It *wil not perform miracles, but it will cure grav< forms of disease. Catarrh, unless checked in the earb stages, leads to dangerous diseases of the throa and lungs. Taken when the symptoms first ap near. Sanford's Radical Cure for Catarrh is in stantly effective. On the death of one of England's mos eminent physicians, all his effeets were sold b; auction, and among other things was a seale* package marked " Advice to Physicians," whicl brought a great price.

J Few people in the civilized world to-day, I among those who are interested in music and the forms of musical expression, have not J heard of the Estey Organ, aud smaller still is the number of those who do not. after practical acquaintance with the superior merits of that noble instrument, cheerfully concede the proud j claim of its makers, that ! THE ESTET ORGAN LEADS THE WORLD. The foremost musicians of Europe and America hasten to join their testimony to that j of professional and amateur organists and j i ,,r fl]| dtsn-ees of nrodciency iUSll uilicuuilimr, ^ ' and celebrity, and all with remarkable unani mity affirm that no reed organs, of whatever manufaetnre, native or foreign, can possibly compare with those from the house of Messrs. Estey ?fc Co. in jwwer. tone, workmanship and style. Such a position and reputation can only , i be gained legitimately. Mushroom manufae' turers that grow up in a night and flaunt their j wares in the face of the public, gaudy and impudently, may seem to flourish for a time; but their prosperity is a lie, as their pretensions are a cheat. The sure success that crowns honesty, industry, probity and thoroughness is i slow of growth : but when it comes it is??tead fast and honorable to the end. The Estey Organs have achieved this success gradually, through years of sturdy toil, patient experi1 ment, tireless watchfulness and unvarying 1 promptitude in additions and improvements, j Thirty years ago the primitive prototype of the present magnificent instrument was made. Place the two side by side and read the liistorv ' of a generation of industry and invention, j ! Thirty years ago only the wealtl^y could afford ; to possess musical instruments of any sort, and thousands of eharches were destitute of j ihe charm of instrumental music in their worship. To-day the humblest home may have its 1 fireside organ, to lend sweet attraction to the i>r.mA and the foeblest church or Sabbath i school a beautiful instrument, to give voice and earnestness to its pious praise. This happy change is due to the Estey Organ more than to ' ' auy other-one cause. The constant and nndeviating aim of its makers has been to produce a ~ perfect reed instrument that should be within [ the reach of the popular purse in price. Every j mechanical appliance that human ingenuity 4 could dense and human patienoe perfect has j been brought to bear upon this end. TrustI worthy experience from all nnarters has lavish. ed its Vipest fruit unstintedly to promote this ' object. The materials used have been ricidlv I subjected to every possible test that conld in . any way conduce to their adaptability and dura. bil'ity. ' What is the result at the end of thirty years? The lowest priced pipe organs that are worth buying cost $1,500. Messrs. Estey A Co. furnish for from $200 to $300 a reed organ so admirably balanced in tone and power that twol thirds of * the congregation in an ordinary small church would suppose it a pipe organ if it was ? i concealed from view. A really good piano from 3 a reliable maker cannot be lx.'nght for le?s than 3 $400 to $">00. An Estey Organ, suited to the ~ ' capacity and requirements of any family, may ,? be purchased for $150 or $200. and a thoroughly , good one for $70.

" Every organ which leaves the Estey manufactory, from the little Cottage Gem, with its four octavo manual and single set of forty-eightreeds, to the Double Bank Pedal Organ, with seven full sets of reeds and sixteen stops, bear the uniform stamp of entire faithfuweos in manufacture. No ueedto puff such wares ad nauseum, with flaming advertisements like a quack medicine ; no need to push their sales by cheapening the price. A simple statement of , fact w their best recommendation. They are is perfect as human ingenuity, care and skill ran make them, ind are sola at the lowest price consistent with a fair profit Whenever ~ - A improvements are possible they are adopted at nice, whether in workshop, machinery or instrument. Under sued circumstances, it ceases to be a wonder that the sale of the Estey Organ is increasing with such rapidity, both at home and abroad; and that enlarged facilities for its production are already necessary, although the Estey establishment has been for vears the largest reedrorgan manufactory in the world. Nine thousand prgans were turned out last year. These organs represented a business of over one million dollars ! Such figures are more eloquent in testimony of worth than the most flowery and skillfully worded sentences. * ???? THE MAKERS. The firm of J. Estey A Co. is made up of Sir. Jacob Estev, his son, Julius J. Estey, and lis son-in-law, Levi K. Fuller. Mr. Estey, senior, is the veteran reed organ maker of America, if not of the world. He begun the puainees in Brattlcboro', thirty years ago, in a single room, with six workmen, and has make liis way constantly forward, in spite of more disinters and drawbacks than often attend such enterprises. Thif fact is due to the man him?elf. He has made himself, through fpro^f iionesty, energy, shrewdness and perseveriB' a Plodding on and on, smiling at disasters byB*e and flood, planting his feet resolutely on all , obstacles, with indomitable faith in himself and his work, he has reached a very proud place among his fellows, while still in the prime of a hale and vigorous manhood. His executive ability is great. Ho knows every detail of the vast business ard watches its daily progress with a marvelous approach to omnipresence. But, however absorbed he mav be in tnis direction. he has never neglected his highest duties Mid privileges as a citizen. Always foremost in everything conducive to the public welfare, actively interested in affairs or church, 8tate - and society, his influence has been wide and good and the cordial esteem he has earned so honorably waits impatiently for a fitting opportunity to do him honor in kind. The younger Members of the firm, who have been active partners for a decade of vears, had been trained in the business under the tuition of their senior fir some time previous, and the partnership only served to concentrate their energies. They are young men of sterling natural ability,* and seem to have l>een particularly well fitted for tho positions assigned thein. Mr." Julius Estey is at the head of the eonntingroom and supervises the mathematical intricacies of the immense business with a clear-headed faculty that might well be considered a synonym for uniform correctness. The counting-room of a manufactory is where its heart beats. Health there means strong and regular pulsation through all the veins and arteries of workshop and storehouse. Mr. Fuller is at the head of the mechanics of the concern. His native talent, stimulated by a thorongh mechanical training, has been invaluable audiodispensable in the long and uninterrupted series of experiments and inventions which, under his ready and intelligent guidance, have been combined in the complete whole known as the Estev Organ. Loth these gentleman are, equally with their elder. in the van of eve^f movement that tends to promote tho pubtae wealth and prosperity ; as reliable, progressive, faithful ana enthusiastic in all such matters W in their personal affairs. Character stamp* these men as it does their manufactures. Posi tive men i ib me unuenymg principle 01 urn* success. THE MANUFACTORY. The Estev Chrgan manufactory is well wortk & visit to anv '.nterested in mechan'cal and ? progress. The works are situated on au*Ie^ ted plateau, overlooking a considerable port# of the village of Brattleboro'. They consist? eight main slate covered factories, which ** forty feet apart, three stories high, one hund* feet long, and from thirty tb thirty-eight ft* wide. Near hy is a gas house, which supp# not only the factories, but some portions of# village," with illuminating gas of excellent qo*C ity. A steam fire engine, named " J. E*?S is" kept constantly ready for use and may? manned at a moment's notice by a drilled pany of the workmen. A perfect system 9 speaking tubes and electric bells established Htantenoous communication between the . .. * _ 11 .J iL - 5 r\ as?. fcflfe ana an parm 01 uie premises. uver dred workmen are employed, and every caia* taken to secire for them health, comfort safety, as well an a perfect and econoflJP working of the establishment. Many ofv little rooms occupied by the tuners are n**6 charmingly cozv with pictures and flowerag ranged to suit the taste of the occupants. ?* ' cheerful hum of machinery mingles with?* chirping of thousands of reeds, and sends f*? a not disoordant sons; of industry which 1P*J? trates many of the pleasant homes of the i % f'r , ji 1 V ? * ?V."v - I
