If they could, what agonies would the image of Ben. Franklin endure-the imago, we mean, of that solid old sago which has just been placed over the door of the Government printing office in Washington 1 In the first place, Frank? lin was the last man in the world to care for that sort of distinction at all. In the next place, this fine old philosopher was nothing if not eoonomioal, and the greatest pleasure he had in discovering the laws of lightning was in tho satisfac? tion he experienced from thinking of the property whioh his lightning-rods would save. He knew weilhow to manage a printing office, and he liked the typo? graphical business; bnt tho enormous amount of money whioh we spend for "public printing" of no sort of good to anybody but the printer and paper-ma? ker, wonld have greatly disturbed an equanimity whioh was not easily dis? turbed. His bust is all very well; bnt | we wish they could learn, in the Govern? ment printing office, a little of his econ? omy.-2few xork Tribune. . Never WSB there a body of men so I denounced as are the Southern carpet? baggers at the North. Never did men I more riohly deserve denunciation. The | Republican press is more bitter than others. And yet what has the Federal Government done to relieve ns of them? Nothing. Our own native people, upon information of suborned witnesses, are put in jail, fined and persecuted in many ways; but the rascally oarpet-bag gera are unwhipped of juBtioe and in the f till enjoyment of their plunder. I Richmond Dispatch. FIRE.-We regret to learn that the d wolli ne: house, cut-houses, &o., of Mr. J.'N. Bostick were destroyed by fire one night of last week, and most of their contents destroyed or damaged.

Nov 29 t SHOCKS TO TUB SV STEM .-Th 0 first, .hook of winier tells tremendously upon en? feebled systems. Every one knows that in passing from a warm region to a oold one or vice versa, tho body requires as a protection against epidemica, an acclimating medicino. AU travelers and voyagera admit this. It is equally necessary to acclimate the system in passing the conflues of one season and enter? ing npon another. Antnmn ls gone and win? ter is hero. Prepare the frame and the con? stitution to meet the change by a course of HOSTETTER'8 BTOMAOH BITTEBB. This inestimable vegetable. tonio increases the stamina, strength cf these who iako it, sud renders them proof to a great extent against the devitalizing power of oold and damp. These two agents are aa prolific of disease as tropical heat and animal vigor-such vigoras thia healthful and paru tonio d?TuaoB through the whole organization-ia a repeUant which they cannot master. A large propoition of the co'de, catarrhs and pulmonary com? plaints which prevail in winter, might be avoided, by strengthening and regulating the ?yeten? in advance with this invigorant and alterative. Not that it IB recommended as a a pocilio for those complaints, but as a pre? ventive of their oauses. Un the other hand, it ia not only a preventive of, but as a speoific for, the indigestion, intestinal irregularities, malarious fevors, bilious attacks and ner? vous affeotioa, superinduced by a chilly and damp atmosphere.
