Jtistin McCarthy, the great advocate of home role for Ireland, and known wherever the English tonpoe is spoken as among the most versatile find vigorous writers of the day, arrivedhere yesterday afternoon, cominpr direct from Cincinnati. A Journal reporter found Mr. McCarthy At the Bates House. He is a gentleman of about five feet Feven inches in height, slender, of a florid countenance, . beard brown, thickly sprinkled with pray. lie has a foil shock of hair, and a pair of kindly bluish pray eyes beam from bis nose-glapses. Mr. McCarthy has a alight bat most agreeable bropne, the accent of a Corkoi.ian. "I arrived in this country," he Said, in answer to the reporter's inquiry, "I think, on the 24th day of September, and will return home about the 1st of March. You may know I am no stranger to this country, bavin? been here before, my first visit being made in J8G8. Of couwe, there have been many im provements pince then in yonr cities, in travel ing conveniences and everything else. 1 find . great sympathy for the Irish cause amone the American public. I have addressed many audiences that were almost exclusively American, and found with them as much Hod oa enrrsent sympathy for the cau?e of home rule as I could have expected from mv own countrymen. I have not, as yet, met with a single American who did not tell ine he was in favor of home rule for Ireland, and in favor of Mr. Gladstone's policy. No. I do not represent Longford in Parliament I have for several yars, but I now elect to sit for the city of Drry, havinp been chosen from that place as well. There are 103 constituencies in Ireland in which the public rote, and two members besides tVese sit for Dublin University, makinp 105 in All. Of these, the Home-rulers have 86 members now, and two peats vet to be settled. tmt whih will be filled by Home-rule members, thus pivf np ms 83 out of 105, which shows to flrhat oryr csose has prown.

' No lecturer could wish a better audience than the one assembled last nicht in Plymouth f"!hnrrh n"im Me Mc.Pnrthv snnV nn "Thi National Cacse of Ireland." The entire lower part of the house was filled, and few seats in the gallery ' were .tenantless. The clerpy, Catholic and Protestant, were out in force, the lepal fraternity were well represented, and there was a pood sprinklinp of legislators, be sides which the usual lecture turn out of brains and culture, male and female. In speaking. Mr. McCarthy is plaiu, straightforward, on ostentation?, seemingly careful to avoid al verbal ornament, all oratorical effects. In begioning his lecture, he explained what the National cause is that it is simply the demand for home rule, the ripht to make laws for herself without control from Westminster. He showed that all of England's colonies bad this xisht. Ireland alone being deprived of it He spoke of the time when Ireland had her national Farlianvnt, and of the causes leading-to its abrogation. It was a Parliament wholly composed of Protr gtant members, no Catholic being alk- iwe toe ncntro vote rora tr.emoer. urattan led a movement for Catholic emnncipation. and, after a struggle, the majority of the Irish Parliament, Protestants ns they were, was won over to justice. The movement was to place the Catholics absolutely on an eqnalitr with their Protestant countrymen. The Kinp, Oeorse III, lost natience and temper, and determined the Irish National Par liament must be extinguished forever, this was the same Oeorpe III acrainet whom these Stales prosecuted n successful rebellion and - accom7lihed h' me rule. He had not been taneht wisdom by his struggle with another people. The Society of United Ireland was formed to aid this . movt&,t i? emancipation. This association has ten r.irpderftood. It was simply a loyal, constitutional, peaceful association, apitai2the emnccijiation of Catholics. Among them were n"h names as Edward Fitzeerald, Theobald Wolfe Tore and Robert Emmet Lord JFir & 'William was the viceroy, and ho threw his doul into the movement. Kinp George deprived litn at or.i'ft of his office, and be was taken back to England like a ariminal to be tried for felony, because he had promised to assist in removing the shackles of religious disability from five out of six of the people of Ireland. When Lord Fitz William was recalled the people of Ireland lost all hope, and thesA younjr men, despairing of any peacefui action, went into the rebellion of '08. They had a just cause. Ireland had been oppressed far more cruelly than America. But they failed. It is only within the latter year that history, giving favor to their cause, has admitted how nearly they cam to success. Not asinple one of these frenerous young Protestants ever appeared acain o an Irish counsel-room to give guidance to their countrymen. They were pone. The battlefield disposed of some, the scaffold of many, and there were mysterious midnight deaths in prison, looking like assassination had removed others. Borne escaped across the sea. Lord Cornwallls, whose name is remembered In this country in connection with a certain capitulation at Yorktown, was selected bv the king to carry out bis policy. The Irish Parliament was to be made way with, but the King had to po throuch some form of law and order. It was rot toconseut to its own extinction, to pass the "Act 6f Union," which would bring Ireland under the direct control of centralized power at Westminster. Cornwallis, with unlimited means at hand, bribed members to vote for the union. Some who sold were made peers, so that a ''union peer" is held as a term of opprobrium and disgrace, because it stamps and stipmatizes the de ecendants of a man who sold his country for a paltry coronet and a seat in the English House cf Lords. Pocket borenphs were put up bv Cornwall!, who paid many million vonods eterlinp to fill them with men who wont into the Irish House of Commons to vote nwav the liberty of the country. Gladstone himself lias said that "nothing could surpass the blackf uardism by which the act of union was caried." Pro'testanta straggled to the last against this act of union. We bear in mind the nam of one who stood by Grattan's side. He held high offico and was deprived of it -by Cornwallis because he would not submit to this. act and conld neither be tribed nor terrified. That man was Sir John Pncnell, the Parnell of that tim Since the passage of tho act of union the Irish oeople have neter accepted that net, even by the aegative acquiescence of silence, but from that Jay to this there has been one continued nrotest We have tried bv everv means in our power, in anrrection rind constitutional movements. Daniel O'Connell's movement went n-ar to success and he would have succeeded had he been a younger and stronger man when he bepan it Lately there arose a small body of Irishmen who believed they had found a policy and a principle by which they could restore Ireland tor lost bat never surrendered independence. They were only four or fire in number when Ihey began. Not one of them had previously taken any, conspicuous part in public life. Their very names were oot known to the majoritv of the public outside. Their principle was to keep absolutely aloof from either of the great English parting Liberals and Tories except as either of them wor.U assist the caue Of Ire bind. They would isk nor accept any favor, even the smallest, to Acknowledge any eourse of action or any authority but that of the Irish people, or bend to any

opinion but that of the people who had sent

them to Parliament to speak for their rights. The new party determined to make the liouse of Commons a platform from which to make. not onlv England, but the whole civilized world hear of the cause of Ireland; to say, in point of fact, until the people of Enpland consent to give a full hearing to our national demand we will allow no other cosiness wnatever to po forward in the House of Commons. The cause had found a leader, then a young man fresh from the English university of Cambridge. Those who remembered the history of the union remembered it as the name of Grattan's righthand man, and accepted it as an augory of good that bore the name and was the descendant of Sir John Parnell. By the accession of myself and others the little party bepan to improve in numbers. We found that we were seven or eight, ' with only 650 against us. We made a great many speeches in those days, our determination being to speak as often as we could, and always on some question of wronp to Ireland. The House of Commons did not. always listen, but the speeches were made all the same. Our policy was to take an active interest in every question and bring into the heart of it this matter of Ireland's wrong. We took a great many divisions, and each divis ion takes fifteen or twenty minutes. We had to keep the debate going or it would collapse. One was kept op from 4 o clock on Mondav morninp until G:30 o'clock on the following Thursday afternooD. In a division in the House of Com mons, those who vote "yea" pass up one lobby, and those who vote "nay" pass un another, the lobbies beinp two broad, capacious corridors, run ning the whole length of the hall and each capable of holding four or five hundred members. In those days we seven or eight would pass up one lobby, while the whole house would stream down the other. On the second reading of Mr. Gladstone's home-rule bill tho Home-rule party, no longer a party of seven or eight, but 311, and led by Mr. Gladstone himself, passed along tho lobby. We have made it the cause of English democracy; the cause of the people of Scotland and Wales; aud now it is impossible for any serious work to be done in th House before the claim of Ireland be considered. We bepan with five members. At thejlast House there were eighty-six members from Ireland itself. In Ireland, except in Ulster, every county, city and borough 6ent up a member of Mr. Parrell's party to the House of Commons. Even in Protestant Ulster we have a majority of representation as we have a majority of the pop ulation, too.. If it was left to the erown men of Ulster to-morrow it would proclaim home rule for Ireland. .The speaker, a Catholic, had the honor to represent, by favor of Protestant votes. the historic city of Derrv. Where the Catholics are to Protestants, as six to one, constituencies have brought man after man. Protestest of the north, and made teem members of these-con stltoencies, sending them to the House of Cora raons to speak for these Catholics and for home rule. The Catholics of Ireland know no dis tinction of creed when the cause of their country 19 concerned. We spread our elections over xour, nvo or six weeks. There are men of property in Enpland who vote in different constituencies, and some have eight, ten, or even twentv different votes. Great care is taken to give such men plenty of time to cast these different votes. The men who made up the main strenpth of Mr. Gladstone's following were of the intelligent working class, and each voter had but one vote. The struggle was between the man with one ballot and the aristocracy and plutocracy, the man with several votes. The coming of home rule for Ireland is an event as certain as the rising of to morrows sun. Within two or, at most, three years we shall have the members of the Home-rule party coming home from the imperial Parliament to make preparation for the opening of their own house on College Green, in Dublin. We would rather have success at the handa of that great English statesman Mr. Gladstone we would like the triumph of home rule through his return to power, but we must think first of the triumph of our own coun try, and we will accept it even from the Tories, but give in return no manner of thanks what ever. When the triumph does come, no matter by what party it ig technically written down in the statute-books, impartial and enlightened history will inscribe upon the tablet erected to commemorate it the names of two men William Ewart Gladstone and Charles Stewart Parnell. An Address to Mr. McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy had just returned to his room at the Bates, last night, when a bell-boy announced that a number of gentlemen awaited the pWsure of an audience with him. The gentlemen were prominent Irish citizens, together with a number of politicians and business men. Mr. McCarthy returned answer that he would meet them, and the body, headed by S P. Sheerln, met him in the corridor, and after all present were individually introduced, Mr. Sheerin read an address, which was printed upon silk, with a border of blue ribbon. The address welcomed Mr. McCarthy, on behalf of the Iris h-American and other citizens, because there were ties of blood and kindred which linked them to people whom Mr. McCarthy represented. It said that his name needed not the lustre which his services to Ireland's cause throws around it. The times had changed somewhat; though England still takes Erin's wealth, she does not do so as easily as of yore, nor does she steal her men of worth. She could not place her hand upon Justin McCarthy and say, ''Thou art mine." This change had been ' accomplished without bloodshed or sudden upheaval, but by the unflagging advance of earnest men, conscious of the justice of their cause. It recognized him as one of the principal leaders in that struggle, one who, with pen and voice has given the world the true story of Ireland's wrongs. It honored him for having sacrificed personal worldly advancement for the cause, and hoped that his footsteps wonld be fol lowed by his eon, Justin Huntley McCarthy. The address expressed great confidence in the near success of Ireland's cause. ... The conclusion was, "That yon and your colleagues, in the grand fight, may live to see the full fruition of your highest hopes, and receive the grateful thanks of a proud, prosperous and happy Ireland is the wish of your friends in America. Till that goal is won, whether it be near or far. it will be our proudest duty to share with you the heat and the burden' of the battle, as we hope to rejoice with 3ou in yonr final triumph.'1 During the reading of the address Mr. .McCar thy retained his composure like one used to such addresses. When it was concluded, he drew himself to his full height and spoke, in reply. very briefly. "I thank you sincerely." he said, "for the tone, color, texture and national senti ment expressed in your address. If it had not been for and assistance which you and your fellow-countrymeu pave, contest after contest, and election after election, our work must have fallen fruitless and dead. But for this, a debt of gratitude to all Irishmen out of Ireland, the present presape of success would never have been reached. But Irishmen are prepared to make any sacrifice in the cause of freeing Ireland, and that will bring the much sought end. I thanK you for your recognition of me as one of the leaders of this canse. and for showing your appreciation of the efforts I have made in this address. I thank you, too, on behalf of the Irish parliamentary party, for your sympathy in and approval or their labors, and also on behalf cf the whole I risVi na tion. My son, I am sure, will be flattered by roar mention of him in connection with the ere.at cause." Then, after a brief talk with some of the gentlemen present, Mr. McCarthy withdrew to his room, and the party of aamirers wunarew. HOW TO MAKE BREAD. Mrs. EmmaEwing's Practical Lecture Testerday Afternoon to an Audience of Ladies. Mrs. Emma P. Ewing gave the first of a course of lessons in cookery yesterday afternoon in the lecture-room of Plymouth Church. The subject was "Bread making," and it was frustrated in an interesting and comprehensive way, by making the bread and baking it, so that all in the claa would have no difficulty in learn ing. Mrs. Ewing'a theory of good breadmaking is that, above all other considerations. sanitary conditions should be observed. Unlike about 90 per cent of the housewives, she uses no lard, which is, she says, a method that belongs to the barbarians. She is particularly careful to pet as much fresh air as possible in her dough, and for that purpose invariably works it in an open window Her baking is

done in an oven with a heat of 400 degrees

Fahrenheit, and after taking out the bread she again places it in the open air to allow all of the carbonic acid gener ated during the baking process to escape. Cooks who wrap their bread in linen immediately after tailing it from the oven she characterized as criminals, who, of their own ignorance, poison the food they prepare. In general, she neneyea that anv food not relished by the person eating it is not digestible or healthful. The lecture was well attended and much inter est in the lesson was manifested by the ladies. This afternoon at 2:30 o'clock Mrs. Ew ing will give another lecture, the subject being ,:Soupmaking." INCIDENTS OP LOCAL LIFE. Things That Are Heard and Seen in the Wan derings of Vigilant Journal Reporters., "Is this the headquarters of the Grand Armyr inquired an old man, with faltering step and shabby dress, of Ben D. House in the Adjutantgeneral's office yesterday morning. .Mr. House answered in the affirmative, and the old man then told his story. . He was an old soldier. For four years he had faced the shot and shell, and had been with Sherman on his march to the eea. His home was in southern Indiana. Several years ago he had pone to w isconsin, out misfortune had overtaken him. He had lost all his family, and with them all his worldly possessions. He was on his way to his home, and had been depending on the Grand Army popts to help him through. Tuesday night be reached this citv, and not knowing where to go for help had walked the streets aii night. He knew he hadn't long to live, and wanted to get back to his old home to die. This story touched a tenaer chord in the poet a neart, ana tne cat tle scarred hero went away with the sort of sym pathy he wanted. An old Irishman, whose brogue is so bad that he cannot make his name understood, climbs the stairs to the Criminal Court room every day. and recites to Prosecutor Mitchell his troubles. He has a delusion that some one is conspiring to have him arrested, in order to secure his prop erty, and his mind cannot be cleared of the im pression. He lives alone, up on the canal, and, so far a3 any one knows, has no property. There are a score of women, and nearly as many men in the city, who have no home but the work -house. What to do with such people worries the police much. As soon as they are released from the work-house they commit some misdemeanor on which they know they can be returned. On several occasions some of these people have called at the station-house and asked to be sent out until spring. The class is not so troublesome during the summer season, when they live out-doors, and beg enough to eat Two months ago a young man came to the city from Cincinnati, and the second night be was here landed in the station-house, from whence he went to the work-house for twenty days. He gives his hame as Loch. Ha pos sesses a rather brilliant mind, but is a confirmed inebriate. When he was released from the workhouse he immediately got drunk, and was again taken in charge bv the officers. He is out again, and is taking a hand in the senatorial fight. Last night he wa3 about the Bates House, advising Jim Rice and other able politicians how Tnrpie could be elected. It is said by some of the politicians who have seen him before that he is a relative of an ex-Governor of an adjoining State, and was at one time a journalist of the humorous sort The student of human nature doesn't have to frequent the county jail much until he becomes convinced that in the most hardened criminals there still remains snark of the good and affectionate. Not a day passes but what little incidents occur about the big iron door that convince the observes that the worst men are not so bad as they seem. There was an affecting scene yesterday afternoon when the aged father and mother of a young colored man called upon him. The young man has passed through about all stages of crime, and yet. when bis parents came, he wag as meek as a lamb. He wept freelv. and when they started to leave he entirely broke down. SENATOR HARRISON. His Recent Campaign the Most Brilliant Ever Made in Indiana. JaoTurpen, In Terro Haute Express. The postscript of a private letter from Indiana, that as yet, for want of time, I have been unable to answer, asked my opinion regarding General Harrison's race for the Senate. It is onlv in case of poverty of public opinion that a corre spondent ie reduced to the dreadful extremity of giving his own ODinion. I have heard many of the Indiana delegates express themselves, not all, but enough to justify me in writing'that General Harrison's recent campaign is universally concluded the most brilliant ever made in Indiana. Voorhees's vote two years apo disclosed large personal popularity, but he came in on a ground swell. It would be difficult to estimate the help he got from Hendricks, and th help he got from Grav, General Harrison received no help, save tnat given him by the malicious an him by the malicious and unfair Democratic perryman'dr two years ago. That may have created some sympathy for him among such people as love fair play. . lhere mav bo fair-minded Democrats who be lieved the redisricting of the State for legisla tive purposes all right, but I have not met them. On the contrary, however, I have snoken to a ' number who avowed it absolutely indefensible. But since the enactment of that act, the intent of which was to end the senatorial career of General Harrison bv means so palpably unfair. I have never thought it chivalric to accuse him of miilice in combating the confirmation of an appointment Mr. Lamb and Colonel Hanlon entered the ring of their own free will and ac cord, and, getting licked, can create no sympathy by accusing the man they sought to down of be ing a slugger. General Harrison has simolv come down squarely on his political feet. He may not go fishing as a United Mates Senator, but name another Republican fisherman, if you can, whose nets are so trim aud sails so well set There was a general conversation this after noon in Matson'scomraittee-roora regarding Gen. Harrison. Colonel Matson said: "General Har rison, is, without doubt, the most conspicuous figure in the Republican tarty to-dav. He has attracted the attention of the whole country, and stands, by common consent, at the head of the acknowledged brilliant campaigners. From the first I have bad no fear of the Indiana Republicans, nnder his leadership, attempting anything illegal, or perpetrating any act whereby he would incur the imputation of trickery. In short. a man ot the tremendous popular strength that he has developed can afford to take no chances, nor could he afford to come to the Senate on a doubtful title. General Harrison, if not the nominee of the Republican party for President, will nnd it difficult to avoid the nomination for the vice-presidency." Harrison the People's Choice. Lufwctte Courier. 'lhe people of the State of Indiana voted for and elected Senator Harrison to be his own suc cessor. He was the unanimous choice of his party in caucus nomination for Senator, and he should have been elected the first day that the two houses met in joint convention. But to come to tho point, the Courier wants to reiuark that it will not even if it could be done drop Harrison and take up some other candidate just to secure the vote or some third-narty man, The Republicans of Indiana are not built that way, aud if, as we said before, such a thing should be done, it will be a bad day for the party. ana they will have batched a bad chicken, ana one that will come home to roost We do not an ticipate anything of the sort, but knowing that sometimes bad counsels prevail and foolish things, like what the conference committee did. are done, and with this view of the matter we want to go on record and assure the Republicans that the Courier takes no stock in political dick' ering that grinds that way. Harrison was the choice of the people, and if the Legislature does not eleet him they cannot elect any other man, If the three or four Knights of Labor in the Legislature propose to name a United States Senator for Indian, we enter a solemn protest for the Republican side of the House. The labor Representatives are, we have no doubt, good and true men; but, for all that, the political party that abandons its caucus .nominees to ac commodate them will make a bad blunder.

ALMOST MIRACULOUS.

What an Eminent Scientist Doing in This City. Is A Journal Representative InJerYiews Dr. Barker and a Number of Persons Whom He Has Treated, from WhicU lie Obtains Some Most Interesting Facts. Somo weeks since Dr. A. B. Barker, of Cincinnati, O., arrived in this city, and engaged rooms at the Denison Hotel. The Doctor's reputation as a specialist for the treatment of eyo and ear diseases and head and throat trouble had preceded him, and the mere announcement of his presence in the city, through a modest advertisement in the dailies, proved all that was necessary to bring to his apartments a large influx of visitors. After a month's sojourn at the Denison, owing to the remarkable cores performed by him, it became necessary, in consequence of the increased throng of patients, to secure more accessible and commodious quarters, which was done by a removal to No. 64 East Market street Several of the rao3t wonderful cures performed by Dr. Barker coming to the personal observation of a Journal 6cribe, the distinguished scientist was called upon yesterday. The Doctor's reception-room was occupied by a number of patients awaiting their turn to be received into the private operating apartment When the Journal representative was-ushered into the presence of the distinguished scientist, it was to find him an urbane and courteous gentleman, who, with an openheartedness not often found in one who has reached the distinction acquired by him, and whose supreme delight seems, when alone in the revelation of scientific research, in the secret of his sanctum sanctorum, took pleasure in exhibiting many of the mysterious paraphernalia and operating instruments in daily use upon his patients. The Doctor grew quite enthusiastic as he turned over the pages of his book containing the list of those whom be has treated, citing case after case of wonderful cures. Amoug whom were numerous well-known people, both in the city and throughout the towns of the State. "But," says the modest physician, "do not accept my statement alone, but call upon those who have been treated by me, and learn from their own lips how much of what I tell vou is true." Satis fied that there had been remarkable and almost miraculous cures performed by Dr. Barker, a few names were selected at random and an interview sought. The first one who was called upon was Mr. Theo. Dietz, the well-known meat dealer at No. 147 East Washington street. Without letting this gentleman know that an interview was being sought for publication, the health of the family was inquired into, nnd mention specifically made of his daughter, whose picture has for a few days been presented in the papers, representing her appearance before treatment and after. Mr. Dietz said: "The change in the appearance of my' child Is remarkable. She is but six years old, and she stood the operation well, which was performed in a few seconds. Dr. Barker has great skill. The picture which you see of my daughter was made five days after the operation. A number of persons have been to see me and have inquired concerning the matter. Of course I take pleasure in commending one who has done so much for my chi!d" Many other things were Baid by Mr. Dietz which might be written, but this is sufficient to indicate how he feels on the subject Mr. Dietz is not a "gusher" by any means, and his character as a business roan in this city for the past quarter of a century is alone sufficient to satisfy this community that whatever he says can be relied upon with implicit confidence. The next call of the knight of the pencil was upon Mr. John Hommown, the well-known undertaker, who was found in his barn, overlooking the stock and vehicles which had just come in from a funeral. "What do I know of Dr. Barker?" said Mr. Hommown. "Why I know that he has made a new woman of my wife. She is better and stronger to-day than she: bas been since before we were married. As to my own throat difficulty I can say that I am greatly "ir.Toved, and the change hns been so rapid that I believe in another ten days' time I shall be entirely well. I had some doubt about consulting Dr. Barker because of the natural prejudice against a traveling nhrsician, but I found several cases of such remarkable and almost miraculous cures that I was led to call upon him, and if ever a man was plad of anything, I am glad that I consulted Dr. Barker." Mr. Hommown is well known in this community, and his testimony needs no comment to add to its importance. A call was next made at the livery stable of J. D. Hoss, No. 28G Massachusetts avenue, in search of an employe named William Ammerraan, who vas said to have been almost blind, and who bas now recovered his sipht Mr. Hoss, the proprietor, stated to the scribe that Mr. Ammernlan bad just secured leave of absence for a few days for the purpose of having his eyes I straipntened, and thought that he was tnen at Dr. Barker's office for that purpose. "His eyes," said Mr. Hoss, "were in such a terrible condition before Dr. Barker began treating him that no one knew he was cross-eyed, but since thev have been cleared up, it has developed their condition. roor fellow, he has spent hundreds of dollars with reputable physicians here and elsewhere. but without any benefit untit he was treated bv Dr. Barker. Mr. Hoss was loud in his praise of the wonderful oculist The reporter was just a little too late to catch Mr. Ammerman at the Doctor's office, but the testimony of hisemployer was deemed sufficient to 8ati?fy him, but it is the intention to have a personal interview at an early date, together with several other prominent cases in Indianapolis. A number of letters received in the daily mail were inspected, and in each ana almost everv instance tnere was exnioited a gratitude towards Dr. Barker which speaks vol umes in his praise. A tumor removed from the throat of a child of C. W. Wiebel was shown, and several eyes that Were removed in order to save the sight of the remaining eye. A case of deafcesa of Prof. W. F. Tister, of Greencastle, was cited, which is worthy or special note; also, a remarKaoie cure of blindness of a child of Mrs. Maggie Hord, No. 50 Circle street: a wonderful enre of Miss Lena Schadd, No. 101 North Davidson street. There will be many persons, afflicted and suffering almost the agonies of death itself, who will turn away from this article with a sneer, and thfty will continue to patronize tne regu lars" until they are totally blind, or deaf, or until tfcey are called upon to enter the dark valley and the shadow of death. Common sense ousht to teach intelligent people that a man who makes the study and treatment of a specialty nis me woric, that such an one becomes more proficient and skillful than a general prac titioner. Dr. Barker is not a tramp. His home is in Cincinnati. O., where he owns one of the most elegant residences. His character as a cit izen and gentleman is above reproach, while his skill and adaptation to his chosen specialty is giving him a national reputation. The Fresh Fragrance Of bozodont renders it the most agreeable article ever used as a tooth wash. It has none of the acrid properties of the astringent tooth powders, and instead of contracting the gums, it renders them firm and elastic. THE OLD RELIABLE C, H. & I. RAILWAY. With a determination to (jet the traveling publie through on time, the condncors of this favorite route Imve received instructions not to wait longer than thirty minutes at Indianapolis for connections which may be late.

It is tw emmended by distinguished physicians.

Catarrh to Consumption. Catarrh, in its destructive force, stands next to and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. It is, therefore, singular that those afflicted with thu fearful disease should not make it the object of their lives to rid themselves of it Deceptive remedies, concocted by ignorant pretenders to medical knowledge, have weakened the confidence of the great majority of sufferers in all advertised remedies. They b&coma resigned ta a life of misery rather than torture themselves with doubtful palliatives. v Bat this will never do. Catarrh must be met at every stage and combated with all onr might In many cases the disease has assumed dangerous symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose, the orgatrs of hearing, of seeing and of tasting so affected as to be useless, the uvula so elongated, the throat so inflamed and irritated as to produce a constant and distressing cough.
