Not a particle of calomel or any other deleterious substance enters into the composition of Ayer’s G'a ■ tliartic Pills.

•Godey’s I July's Book for August Is an excellent Mid-Summer number, opening with a pretty poem called “The flower Gatherera,” which is made the subject of tasteful steel engraving. Miss Mathers’ story, “Dreeing off the Weird,” multiplies its charm as it prcioceeds, and is making a good hit for the Magazine. The present number contains ateo the opening chapters of a serial by Christum Reid, “Tlie Story of an Elopement,’* which bids fair to add another laurel leaf to the chaplet of this popular novelist. The whole literary tone of the Magazine seems to be improving under the present management, and looks now as though Godev’s had taken a new lease of life and had before it a future of great brilliancy. “Old Vicissitudes’* tomes forward this month with a droll account of his “Experience .Seeking an Earthly Angel; or, in other wordst, The right kind of a "Wife;” in which he gives verbatim copies of the letters received in an answer to his advertisement (names only being omitted). The pen portraits drawn by the feminine candidates of themselves are decidedly amusing. “The Nut-Brown Maid” increases in interest as the story advances. There is a fine array of talent embodied iu the short stories and poems, among which are the following: “Triumph Bays,” by Thos. 5. Collier; “Destiny,” by Uncle Rube; “Siitisa and Twen-ty-one,” by Annie M. Fowler; “A Feast of Cherries,” by Emily Lennox; “The Fisherman,” by Henry A. Parker; “Fortune Telling,” by Dora Hastings; “Her Aunt’s Parasol,” by John A. Peters; “Jennie Came to Meet Me,” l>y M. V. II.; “Two Roses;” ‘••The Seamstrees,” by nnlis Freeman; Recreation (Charade), by Mrs. 8. L. Oberboltzer; “Abgah Beanpole, Storekeeper,” by the author of “The Bad Boy’s Diary,” etc. etc.; “A Life Study iu Gray:” Martin Van Buren; Art Notes. We publish on the fourth page of this issue as a historical curosity Blaine's letter of acceptance, but can not conscientiously recommend anybody except those sufiering from insomnia to at tempt to read the whole of it at a single sitting. The letter might more properly be called a letter of evasion t han a letter of acceptance. It_ falsifies history on the tariff; it misrepresents the Democracy on the tariff; it exaggerates the work of the Republicans; it makes a bid for sonthern votes and foreign votes; it slurs over the civil service but the word reform is not to be foond in a single line of the document.

The Democracy goes into the campaign better equipped to fight and gain a permanent victory, this year, than ever before in twenty-five years. ; Not only has it the strongest and best candidates, but three-fourths of the States of the Union arc already ruled by Democratic governors and a very large majority of thee congressional districts are represented by Democrats.

The excitement produced by the lynching of Canfield, for the murder of Moliie Gherkin, has died out, and aH feeling as to ferreting out the lynchers appears to hare sunk down deep in the minds of those few of our citizens who seemed to care a continental cent about the affair. Up at the .court house the other day, I found Auditor Dick and his clever deputy, Frank Reiter, busily poring over the voluminous work before' them. A neater set of books and Better kept are rarely tube found. In fact, all the officials about our beautiful temple of justice have their hands fun. The sentiment of the Democracy this tide of White river is unanimous for Cleveland and Hendricks and the State ticket. The corn crop in this county promises to be immense. Business here, though not active, 1s livelier than known at any similar period of the year. The Hotel King, close by the city hall, is the cosiest house ill the city. Splendid rooms, table, and a clever landlord is H. H. Wagner. Bring your friends along with you to King's when you come to Vincennes.
