Do the republican “workers” ot the Fi^st congressional district know that one of the juiciest plums within the patronage of state officials is the Coal Oil Inspectorship? Do they know that it is worth $2,000 or $3,500 a year? Why should such a fat take as this get begging? What is the matter with First district republican “workers” that only two or three aspirants without any very stroug backiug have gone on «. hunt tor it ? There is mot more than one Federal position that pays as well. As the silence of the republican papers of the | district looks suspicious, we ask our democratic contemporaries to republish this paragraph that the faithful “workers” of the republican party may know the facts.—Evansville Courier.

The fourih annual reunion of the 58ih Ind. Vol. Regimental Association held at Petersburg November 22d and 23d was a grand success. The officets are all fine looking* men and the exeelent manner in which they transacted the ^business of the association, proves that Sherman made no mistake in appointing the 58th his poutoouers on his march to the sVa. The camp fire at night was oue of the best We ever had here. Good music and good speaking and the old comrades enjoyed it hugely. The historical papers were well prepared and were listened to with mrapt attention. Such campfires will not soon be forgotten. The officers for the next term are: Charles Whitney, president; Dr. W. W. Blair ' reasurer; Gill R. Stormont, secretary. The next reunion of the 58tn will be neld at Princeton. The camp fire on Thursday evening was held at the court house ana was*fil!ed to its utmost capacity. The old veterans from neighboring towns were given a royal reception by the citizens of Petersburg, who will gladly welcome them back again at any time, What is a bloomer dress! A down east editor explaius it in this way in las paper: “The bloomer, dress is a pair of trousers, very baggv at the knees, abnormally full at the pistol pocket, considerably loose where you strike a match ; the garment is cut decoltette at the south end, and the bottoms are tied around the ankles or the knees to keep the mice out. Yon can’t pull it over your head as you do your corset, but set on? the floor and pull it on just as you do vonr stockings, one foot in each compartment. You can easily tell which is the right side to have In front bv the button ou the neck band.” Hon J. A. Coatef, of Union, repre-sentive-e*ect from Pike county, was in the city Monday. The new representative is besieged on every hand for a position in the next legislature and receives from ten to twelve letters regular every day from all parts of the state. Our republican brethren have been out so long that now each and every one thinks he should|have a position. Samuel Scott, living near Stendal, was seventy-eight years old November 15 aud and a large uumber of his friends gathered at bis home and gave him a very pleasant surprise on that day. Mr. Scott is oue of the old citizens of the county and has a host of friends who wish him many more such pleasant occasions.

Mark Twain’s most, popular and successful books have been sold by subscription and his new book entitled “The Tragedy of Pudd'uhead Wilson and the Comedy, Those Extraordinary Twins,” is announced for early publication. The Tragedy and Comedy were at first a dual story—^two stories in one—and the author’s account, as given in the pietace. of the difficulty he had in writing the book, oft he incompatibility of some of the characters and of his having to finaly separate them by pulling one of the stories out by the roots and leaving the other—a kind of literary Caesarean operation, is certainly one of the most original, breeziest and cleverest chapters—choice fun—that has been written for many a day . We are told that “T^ere is a time to laugh” and The Churchman tays: “The ;reader will begin to smile at the very first paragraph.” The book will sold only by subscription and as it possesses, in a pronounced degree the remarkable characteristics of the authors best works, it is sure to have a large sale. Each page;will be beautifully illustrated with marginal sketches, the work of one of our best artists, and the publishers have wisely decided to sell the volume at a popular price—bringing it within the reacb of all.

He has used it m his family for several years with the best results and always keeps a bottle of it in the house After having la grippe he was himself troubled with a severe cough.

I have been afflicted for twenty years with stomach trouble of the severest nature. Would have seasons of the severest suffering from one to two months at a time. Between these times of sufferingwas never longer than three ' months. There was never any time that I was entirely free from misery more or less. These spells of great suffering would sometimes come on with sickness and vomiting, and other times would come on in form of rheumatism, but would finally center itself in my stomach. I have doctored with a great many physicians, but none of them could tell me what the trouble was. I was unable to get relief until I got LYON’S SEVEN WONDERS. It is now sixty days since I began taking this medicine, and am now for the first time in twenty years free from pain and misery. I am compelled to say it is a blessing to a poor man. J. J.
