THE REPUBLICAN

Circus Day.

Sells Brothers’ circus bus come and gone. The day was fine and the crowd enormous. The people came in from all directions, on foot, in wagons, ahd on horse-back. Remington, Goodland, Morocco, Francisville, and all the intervening country sent in vast numbers of people to swell the crowd. n The circus performance, though presenting one or two new features, was much the same routine that is gone through with by all circuses. Old, indeed, but ever new. The menagerie is an excellent one, and nearly fills the bill. They make a very creditable street parade. Of course people had their expectations pitched on too high a key and were necessarily disappointed, but somebody is bound to be disappointed at every circus. A good many gaming and other “skin games” were in vogue all day, but so far as we have heard, none of our citizens were taken in to any very serious extent Notes. They showed at Delphi Tuesday, and are at Frankfort to-day. The street “fakirs opened out in business the evening before and caught a large amount of patronage. The hippopotami have big mouths, but not so large as the footers for the side show snide.

The showmen are a very quiet and orderly set. The afternoon performance was somewhat better than in the evening. They of course took in a great deal of money, but they spent a good many dollars in Rensselaer. The fact that the town saloons were closed all day, on account of the railroad election, prevented drunkenness and disorder almost entirely. About half a dozen boot-blacks debouched upon the streets in the morning, but word having come to Sheriff Powell, from Delphi, that they were all pick-pockets and sneak-thieves, himself and his deputies made a raid upon them and locked‘them all up in jail until this morning. W. H. Coover of this paper started East on Tuesday for the transaction of business connected with the settlement of his father’s estate. He expects also to spend sometime in visiting friends and old time neighbors in Harrisburg, Carlisle, Chambersburg, and other places in Cumberland county, Pa., y and will probably not return until “the middle of. August or latter. — “Remington News.”

About the Size of it.

Lafayette Courier.—Dorsey is now engaged in manufacturing Democratic literature. The Democratic press will shortly discover traits of manly character- in the ex-Star Route criminal’s personnel. It is queer that as soon as a man becomes dishonest he gravitates directly into the Bourbon fold—and he is ever welcome. New! Beautiful!! Sweetl!! Prof. Henri Levino has fitted up the room on “Washington street formerly occupied by Legg’s Restaurant, as an Art and Music store, and has connected therewith a candy manufactury, where will be made, fresh, every day, pure French candies. He also makes sign, ornamental and portrait painting a specialty. Look into the new Art Studio.

The Satisfaction of Sickness.

A woman bad a fit of sickness which brought her to death’s door, from which she slowly rallied, and from which it was doubtful if she would ever be herself again. A neighbor went to commiserate her upon what she had suffered. “O, never mind, I'm glad of it,” was the answer. “During all my married life I have been trying to find out how much my husband cared for me. I have tried everything. I have even tried to make him jealous; but nothing availed till this sickness. My dear, it has almost killed him! and his remorse was so dreadful! Ob, of course, he’ll slip back into his old ways again. But I don’t, care. I’m satisfied. I have conquered him once into such abject acknowledgment!”

Caught On the Fly.

[For The Republican.] I stepped on board the train at Rensselaer, the signal was given and away we go across the beautiful prairies of Jasper and White, over the bottoms of the Wabash, and arrive at that city named for the French hero who helped this Nation in the time of her need. With the assistance of a smiling hackman and two honest, but not extra capable horses, I was transferred to the South street depot, where I stepped on board a car on the C. I. St. L & C. R. R., and was whirled away over a prairie covered with fine crops of corn, oats and hay. The conductor sings out “Lebanon” and we are reminded that we are in the “State” of Boone, which with its Beech, Sugar-tree and Elm, is a sample of Hoosierdom in all its glory. A long blow of the whistle, a longer ringing of the bell and we are at the capital of our State, with its broad streets, its neatly built and well kept residences, and its genial people. A small boy encouraged by a nickel transfers my traveling baggage to the Grand Hotel. After ridding myself of accumulated Indiana soil, 1 called on our genial and deservedly popular Governor, at the executive chambers, and found him quite busy with the affairs of State. After many pleasant meetings with personal friends, I again boarded the train and after a pleasant ride of three hours, I found myself pleasantly located at the Gibson House, Cincinnati. A fine hotel in a fine city. A city whose improvements indicate wealth and solidity, but whose business will not compare in enterprise and thrift with that of Chicago. The City Council this week elected a board of health, consisting of six men, five of whom are by occupation, saloon keepers, “straws show which way the wind blows.” In a few hours I was off on the B. & C. R. R. for the East. The Master of ceremonies in his white cap and skin of an opposite color puts lower No. 9, in order and I turned in for the night. “Cheat River” rings in my ears and I opened my eyes on a bright morning in the historic State of West Virginia. The Brakeman’s cry carries my memory back twenty-two years, when three green regiments, two from Indiana and one from Ohio, after marching over Cheat mountain and wading Cheat river, met and put to route General Garnet’s army. “Cumberland, twenty minutes for breakfast” greets our ears from the stentorian voice of the S. C. C. and we are at the summit of the Alleghanies. The atmosphere is bracing, it is later than my usual breakfast* hour and when I come out of the dining room I would not have the courage to look in the face of the “Incubator” of the spring chicken whose wrecked remains I left behind me.

Away we go rushing down the side of the mountain, following the Potomac’s course, we leave Maryland, cross the river back into West Virginia. The scenery is grand in the extreme. Sooh we reach Harper’s Ferry, and while the driver and stoker feed and water our mighty iron steed we will step out and take a look at John Brown’s Fort, there it is a small brick building, just as it was when, almost a quarter of a century ago, John Brown struck for the liberty of the black man. Again we cross the river into the peach State and soon “Washington” greets our ears. Only a few minutes we spend at the Capital, and fifty-nine miles further we fare at Baltimore. Away again and we soon arrive at Wilmington. The city of brotherly love is reached and passed, the Capital of New Jersey is west of us and soon we arrive all safe and sound at the Grand Central Hotel, in the Metropolis of the Western Hemisphere.

Ayer’s Hair Vigor imparts vitality, gloss, and freshness to the hair, and restores its original beauty. White Bronze Monuments and Statuary, manufactured by the Detroit Bronze Co., of Detroit, Mich., are works of beauty. This work will not crack, crumble or become moss-grown, but is guaranteed to retain its original beauty, and is cheaper than any other monumental material. W. H.

Do you want to bny an Organ?

If you do, you can save money by calling on B. P. Benjamin, be will sell you a first class instrument for, from 10 to 25 dollars cheaper than any other mail in the comity. Why is he able to do this did you ask ? The reason is plain enough. He is the only man in the county who buys in sufficient quantities, direct from factories, to secure bottom prices. Call upon him before you buy and demonstrate the truthfulness of this statement!

THUE Temperance Is not signing a pledge or taking a solemn oath that cannot be kept, because of the non-removal of thecause —liquor. The way to make a man temperate is to kill the desire forthose dreadful artificial stimulants that carry so many bright intellects •to premature graves, and desolation, strife and unhappiness into so many families, Itisafactl Brown’s Iron Bitters, a true non-alcohol-ic tonic, made in Baltimore, Md.,by the Brown Chemical Company, who axe old druggists and in every particular reliable, will, by removing the craving appetite of the drunkard, and by curing the nervousness, weakness, and general ill health resulting from intemperance, do more to promote temperance, in the strictest sense than z any other means now known. It is a well authenticated fact that many medicines, especially‘bitters,’ arenothing butcheap. whiskey vilely concocted for use in local option countries. Such is not the case with Brown’s Iron Bitters. It is a medicine, a cure for weakness and decay in the nervous, muscular, and digestive organs of the body, producing good, rich blood, health and strength. Try one bottle, Price tfl.oo.

■yrr /w. -w- “7T 5 -STS JraL -cSI JLb JiL-xS z Vegetable Sicilian HAIR BENEWER was the first preparation perfectly adapted to cure diseases of the scalp, and the first successful restorer of faded or gray hair to its natural color, growth, aud youthful beauty. It has bad many imitators, but none have so fuliy met all the requirements needful for the proper treatment of the hair and scalp. Hall’s Hair Renewer has steadily grown in favor, and spread its fame aud usefulness to every quarter of the globe. Its unparalleled success can be attributed to but one cause: the entire fulfilment of its promises. The proprietors have often been surprised at the receipt of orders from remote countries, where they had never made an effort for its introduction. The use for a short time of Hall’s Hair t Rexewek wonderfully improves the pert sonal appearance, ft cleanses the scalp from all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It Btimu.ates the weakened glands, and enables them to push forward n new and vigorous growth. The effects of this article are not transient, like those of alcoholic preparations,but remain a long time, which makes its use a matter of economy.
