Won dkr i d t. Feat or a Doo. -Tho following
feat of a dog was yesterday communicated to
ua by onrj who was an eye witness to It:
A setter dog belonging to one of the work
men engaged in plastering the ceiling of the
portico to the Treasury building, essayed to
mount the scaffold by the ladder (which was
nearly perpendicular) in pursuit of his mis
ter, lie gradually ascended between forty and
fi'Xy rounds and was within eight or ten feet of
reaching his destined spot By this time he ev
idently became much fatigued and held on with
great difficulty. Tlie officers in tho building
and numerous passers by in the street looked
on with deep inrerest.expecting every moment
that the poor dog would tumble from his lofty
heigth and be dashed to pieces. To return by
tho way he ascended was impossible. As if
sensible of his dangerous situation he seeming
ly gathered up oil his remaining strength for
a last desperate effort losave himself, and tothe
astonishment of the lookers on, leaped through
tho rounds of the ladder tow ards a window in
tht! second story of the building, which was at
a distance of about twelve feet from him. The
dog, being somewhat above the window, jump
ed at a slightly descending angle, which ena
bled him to catch with his fore feet the sill,
when a gentleman, w ho was standing at the
window watching his movements, seized hi in
by the neck and rescued him from his impen
ding fate. .Yf. it.

A Majestic Flower. In a late number of
the I'iltburg Statesman, we find a description
ofa flower tree w hich is fjund in the interior
of Ceylon and may be considered as a wonder
ful curiosity, excelling in beauty and grandeur
ail other plants in the vegetable kingdom. The
body of the tree is sixty f et high, and straight
as a ship's mast, without limhor leaf; butsup
porting at the top an immense tutl of leaves,
each of which is ten or tw elve feet lorg. The
stalk of these leaven clasp the body of the tree
and incline outward, the long leaves bending
over in a raeelul curve. Tins vast crown of
evergreen is nfitM'if very grand, but w hen the
tree is aiioul fifty years old, there rises from
its centre a cone several feet in hiyht, w hich
gradually enlarges, until at lenytli it bursts
with a lnud explosion, and a vast, brilliant, gol
den colored flower, twelve feet in diameter, ap
penrs over the elevated tuft of leaves as a gor
geous diadem on the head of this queen of the

does not long turvive this grand display ol mag

from what was pronounced by a physician to be

hard substance imbedded in the flesh. An in
cision was niade.anda long, black needle was
extracted from near the shoulder-blade ! The
opinion is, that the needle had been there some
months, the little fellow having received it from
some person w ho had been nursing it. People
are impatient at the wailing of infants some
times. Children ofa larger growth would be apt
'.oinake something of an outcry if needles were
driven deliberately into their haunches or shoulder-blades.

Grn. Jackson ami tlie Tariff.
We have frequently staled that a judicious pro
tective tariff was a doctrino always maintained by
the democratic party, and which has received the
s.inc ion of almost every distinguished democrat in
the union, foin the days of .lellVi.on until the pre
sent lime. The following is the letter of (Jen.
Jnekson, referred to in our last paper, addres ed to
s gentleman of Pittsburg, in wlich he speaks ofa
Protective Tariff IMI, thi ll beforo Congress. Hit
opinions are certainly entitled to some w ight with
Id- old supporter. The "fife trade" men will,
however, we pieume, rely upon the authoriry of
John Adams in support of Ibeii doctrine, a a he wa
the only President of the United States that ever
advoca'ed such measures. They arc welcome to
theii authority, but we think our democratic friend
should examine whether or not those who now ad
vocate "foe trade" hive not been a little tinctured
with the leaven of ancient federalism. But for
the letter let every'democat read it, and dicide
whetl er he is in favor of a tariff, as recommended
by all of our democratic Presidents, or whether he
v ill go in favor of the free trade notions of John Ad
ams :
''So far as th tariff before us embraces the
design ot fostering' and preserving within our
selves, the means of national defence and inde
pendence, particularly in n state of war, 1 would
advocate and support it. Providence has til
led our mountains and plains with minerals
lead, iron and copper; nnd given us climate
anil soil fir "rowing of heuit) and wind. Those
being the grand materials of our national do-
fence, they oui'ht to have extended tothetn adi
quale ami fair protection that our own ik
furtorii s and laborers may be placed on a fair
competition w ith those of I'urnpr, nnd that we
have w ithin our country a supply of those lea
ding and important articles so essential in war.
Beyond this I look at the tnviff with an eyrtn
the proprr distribution of labor and ri intur ;
and with a view to the discharge of our nation
al debt. I will ask what is the real situation
of the agriculturist ! Where has the Amtri
run farmer a market for his surplus product .'
Except for cotton, he neither has a foreign, or
a borne market. Does not this clearly prove,
when there is ni market cither at home or a
broad, that there is too much labor employed in
agriculture, and that the channels for labor
should be multiplied ! Common sense points
out, at once, the remedy. Draw from agricul
ture this superabundant IuIkii employ it in
mechanism and manufactories, thereby erecting
a home market for your breadstutTs, and dis
tributing In lair to the most profitable amounts,
and benefits for the country will result. In
short, mr, we have been loo long subject to
the policy of the British merchants. It is
lime we should become a little more Ameri
canised." Shrriff.
