A well-known young man who re ©ontly donned the "blue ribbon," so far forgot hlmsolf as to entor a saloon a day ©r two ago and call for a drink, at the Mtmo tune sporting his badge upon the ttppel of his coat. The bcr-keeper, who evidently bad more principle than the pretended devotee to the temperance cause, ordered hirn to loaye the house, or take off that badgo which he was dishonoring, before he could get a drop In that house. -h

Thero may have been frauds in the city election, but there is no fraud about the claims J. P. Brennau, the merchant tailor, has for your custom when you want anything in the way of olothing. He has a nice stock of goods, bought low for cash, does his own cutting, baa low rents, and in every way economizes In order to give his customers the benefit of the lowest possible prices.

Someof our people, owning elegant carriages and phratons, and driving stylish horses, use harness not at all in keeping.

Torre Halite Is getting to be quite an excursion oeuter. Just now our city is in its most elegant attire. None the least cf the attractions to visitors are lhe large and dtyllk# store®, 9o0&f these is the Central Bookstore. The proprietors deem it no intrusion even if you do not want to buy anything. Just roam about at your own aweet will, up and down the long salesroom, extending from street to alley and admire tbe many elegant books, ptetotes, table and mantel ornaments, ikney papor, envelopes, visiting cards, and other nobby stationery in fandfa shapes and designs far which Uw Central Bookstore la noted.

One of tbe steady going boot and shoe houses of this city is that of\J. P. Tutt, in the Opera House block. There is no bombast in his way of doing business, but be holds his patrons by giving them honest goods at reasonable prices.

J. M. Riffner A 8on, at their new location, 507 Main street, attract the attention of the passers by, by their neatly fitted store and attractive display or coffees, teas, spices, canned goods, all fresh, and of the best quality.

It is wonderful at what a moderate sum a moderately sized house can Ire furnished with new and elegant furniture at Poster A Son's, on Fourth street, north of Cherry.

No article of furniture is more elegant and none cootrifiute more to the pleassure of home than a piano or organ, and W. H. Paige A Co, by their liberal terms in tbe sale of their excellent instruments are doing much to make happy homes.

Very necessary appendages to an elegant rig area neat duster and a serviceable whip. These can be had at very reasonable prices atF. O. Froob'a, on tbe north side of the public square, where may also be seen some very elegant light harness, made for service as well as beau*y. S&s,

Their stock of hats, caps, and furnishing goods is fresh, and bought in such away that prices are satisfactory.

The past few cold days have put a check upon the forward spring, but Wright A King still spring forward.at tbe corner of Main and Seventh streets with their usual assortment of choice table supplies, seasonable fruits and vegetables, the best the market affords at the lowest prices. The best table sauce known, the finest olive oil imported, strictly pure Vermont maple sugar and syrup, choice.dressed poultry, extra nice butter, choice hams, breakfast bajon, canned meats, fish, fruits and vegetables from the best packing houses in the United States. As complete a stock of staple and fancy groceries as can be found in the city. Their motto is: "Good goods, good measure honest weights and prompt pay.'!

Shows and Show Folks.

A large and well pleased audience witnessed, at tbe Opera House, Tuesday evening, George Rlgnold's masterly impersonation of Shakspeare's Henry V., one of the most difficult plays to put on the stage, on account of the large number of speaking characters and the spectacular effects necessary.^J

Dishon, the bill poster, is in receipt of some pamphlets aad other printing from Barnum, which indicates that "the greatest show on earth" wilJLcome along shortly.

No amusements booked at the Opera House next week. J. A. Meade, a good comedian, has lef the Rignold Henry V. party, driven out of it, as he alleges, by the bullying brutality of Mr. Rignold himself.

Household Decoration

New Order of Artistic Furnishing.

REVIVAL OF CORRECT TASTE.

Indulgence of Style Without Extravagant Cost,

A HIGHER STANDARD OF HOME LIFE.

Ah Era of Beauty, Utility and Economy.

The furnishing of a bouse is next in importance to having one. First get your house, then furnish it. Thanks to machinery, furniture is not such a terrible consideration as it used to be, and the most elegant can be had for little more than the ordinary cost some years ago. But in to department of house furnishing has thero boon such a change, such a radical departure from former adornments and surroundings, as in decorating the walls and ceilings of our dwellings. Ail lovers oft tbe beautiful are gratified at this revival of correct tastes characteristic of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Formerly wall and ceiling decoration with paper vas at best but a

CEILING DECOSATibsf.

We glory in a clear blue sky overhead why, then, make our ceilings white? In answer to this question, you may say that the whiteness renders tbe ceiling almost invisible hence, it is preferred. This idea is very absurd first, because blue is the most etberial and distant ef colore and, second, do we not build a house with tho view of procuring shelter Hence, why do we leek to realize tbe feeling that we are without a covering over our beads? We only like a white ceiling because we have been accustomed to it from infancy, and because we have been taught to regard a clean white celling aa all that is to be desired. Further, tbe ceiling may be* ocvne an object of great beauty, and may bo seen as a whole why, tbent neglect the opportunity of arranging a beautiful olgect when there is no reason to the contrary? We like a beantifal colored vase, or, if we do not, wo can have it white-washed, or even dispense with It altogether. Wo like beautiful walla, or we would have them whitewashed also indeed, we like aa our surroundings beautiful. Why not then have beautiful ceilings, especially aa tbey can be aeon complete. QBut we will not oocnpy too audi space on this subject. Our object is to call the attention of our people to the subject, and individuals and firms that are wide awake to the situation, who are ready to lead not follow the popular demand, should have tbe most liberal encourage-

VQINQERBREAD" PERFORMANCE, for it Was impossible to get an artistic design having any sssthetical merit, because it was a difficult matter, by merely ly pasting en the wall the papers then made, to produce any better effect tban an inharmonious, confused, irregular mass of colors,

A parti colored dress Of patched and piebald pieces." But thanks to the taste and ingenuity of the manufacturers of wall paper, and the enterprise of Ryce A Walmsley—a firm name that suggests to most of the readers of this paper pretty much all that is tasteful and good in carpeting and decorating bouses in this city and vicinity, there has been brought about anew order of -ARTISTIC FURNI8HINQ, 7 which is impressing every department of domestic life, an era of beauty, utility and economy. We say economy, be cause fifty dollars will produce as fine effects as five hundred would some years ago—thus allowing the indulgence of taate without extravagant cost. All can indulge, for it is not confined to the wealthy few, and thus there is a double mission—artistic and refining—educating toward a higher standard of home life, therefore directly in the line of morals and culture.

These thoughts occur to us after seeing some work done recently by tbe artists, and with tho materials in stock, at 7 RYCE & WALMSLET'S well-filled house furnishing establishment. Such a wealth of colorings, artistic designs and finished work has never until this season been shown in this city. 'Most of these fine effects have been produced because the house owners have had the good sense to intrust the designs to Mr. Walmsley and his corps of artists. The decoration of a room is as much bound by laws as the treatment of disease. You have no knowledge ef tbe treatment of disease hence, you commit yourself to the care of a physician. You have no understanding of the law hence, you employ an attorney. You call a man in to decorate a room you are as ignorant of his art as he Is of your business or profession. Therefore let him exereise his judgment and taste. It is his duty to tell you that the room would look well if treated in such a way, or that its walls should bo of such a color. To perceive delicate beauties is by no means an easy task to those who have not devoted themselves to the consideration of the beautiful for along period of time, and of this be assured, that much of what now appears to you to be beautiful, yeu may shortly regard as less so, and what now fails to attract you may alternately become charming to your eye. These new and radical changes in wall and ceiling decoration have in them more than a passing whim of fashion, They are sensible, and consequently more than an ephemeral change. Take for instance the item of 'J

ment. Ryce A Walmsley are of that sort. Their house has been long establiahed and has been noted for being always in advance ot the Styles—keeping every department full of novelties, watching closely the markets for bargains as well as beautiful designs.

Tbey handle no goods but first class products—no»job lots, auction, shoddy and cheap trashy ao often, palitaed upon Sn nnsuspectit}g: public. The fen Kyears- successful .xflcord ofc^he-Xlarpet

Hall under ^,t "i E. M. WAIJMIiEY'8' I personal management of the entire business, giving it his constant supervision, study and attention is indeed a so urea of justifiable pride.

The reader will excuse this somewhat rambling and disconnected sketch. As tbe preacher says when he gels up to "fiiU'.fcotiii\"we must hasten on," and mentiu:. Toiuc of the departments that have niiijUcs tins tho leading house and recognized i- quarters for house furnishing. Firs- mere is the

CURTAIN DEPARTMENT.

The proper hanging of windows is essential to the strictly artistic treatment of an interior. So much has the arrangement of i:ght to do with the effect of decoration, me colors and pattern of a curtain with tbe theme or study of the interior, that only he who has conceived •.he one should be allowed to carry out the other, thereby completing a full and proper background for the room. So, if you have Ryce A Walmsley decorate your walls and cover your floors, let thesame artist select the draperies for your windows from their elegant Notting ham laces and Swiss curtains and trimmings, cornices, curtain poles, brass and nickel plated ornaments in great varie ty, shade cloths in new colorings, all kinds of fixtures, fringes, tassels, Scotch and American Hollands, etc., etc. In

PAPER HANGINGS.

We have spoken above of this depart ment. It is sufficient, to say in this summary that they have every new and attractive design, fine Dados and ceiling decorations. With the best paper hangers in the profession—uniting the taste of the artist with the mechanical ingenuity of tbe mere paper hanger—and as a result of patient study and careful experience, they claim to be eminently qualified to apply these papers in a purely artistic manner, and referring with pride to many examples of their handiwork in this city, confidently rely upon people of refined and educated taste for support in the earnest work for the- developement and progress of true art in our midst.

CARPETS 7T777TJ

Find a prominent place in the appropriately named "Carpet Hall." Here they are of all grades—from the modest Hemp to the fiuest Brussels—'a magnificent display of styles suited to halls, libraries, parlors, drawing rooms, chambers and btalrs, with borders to match.

Then there are Oil Cloths and Linoliums—very attractive patterns and excellent for service.

To make this department complete there are stair rods, stair pads, carpet lining, thread, bindings, tacks, and all hardware suited to bousefurnishing. In

MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES

May be mentioned Linen Goods, Hassocks, Ottomans, Lambrequins, Piano and Table Covers, Druggets, and -but we will go no further. We must bring to an abrupt close this article much more extended than intended, by say ing that "the half has not been told," and If you want to patronize a house where business is done in a reliable, thorough and systematic manner, or if nothing more than to look through a stock of goods for house decoration such as has never before been shown in this city, pay a visit to Ryce A Walmsley's 809 Main street. Visitors are welcome and will find a cordial greeting, urbane treatment and a very apparent anxiety to meet their every want, on tbe part of Mr. Walmsley and hia polite corps of gentlemanly employes—whether your mission is to purchase or merely to take a look through the various depart meets.

WPEKS ON

CATARRHAL! AFFECTIONS

AND

deafness:

Arnang tho list of chronic diseasos which af feet thi* human fnuae, catarrh is the raoJt prevalent, most offensive, most productive of discomfort, and of a variety or distressing and dangerous complications. Its earliest ami most prominent symptom is a discharge from tho' head, varying in its nature in different eases, and even in the same individual at different times, it may be a thin, colorless, acrid iluid.

vHawLing."

Much of the discharge passes backward either dropping into the throat or collwrins as a tough, viscid, tenacious phlegm behind and above the soft palate in the nassago between tho throat and head. Its lodgment embarrasses respiration and creates a constant uud almost irresistible desire to relieve tho discomfort by drawing the offensive substance into the throat by aloud insufflation through the nose, so as then to be able to eject it ly a disagroeabla ••hawking." sT

Offensive Ilrealli^M^

In the most advanced stages the discharges are generally of an offensive odor, causing great annoyance to one's friends and to lhe patient himself, while his sense of smell remains ,. This annoyance 'rom the odor becomes almost beyond endurance, more especially wlicu tho diseasa assumes the form of oztetia, and tho delicate bones of the nose become diseased.

Fatal (fleets of Catnrrii.

Tho swallowing of catarrhal secretions dc« ranges the functions of the stomach, causinglndigestiouand loss of appetite aud health. Debility, paleness, lassitude, headache aud dis turbances of mind soon follow.

Consumption and Aatli.

Catarrhal affections, unchecked by treatment, are proue to extend by continuity of surface along the natural air passages to tho lungs,thus causing consumption and death. In this con nection it should also be remembered that tho air which enters the lungs of a catarrhal patient is, every breath of it, poisoned by exhalation from the foul sccretions of the diseased surface. This consideration alone should be snfflel nt to Induce every person thus afflicted to make application for relief.

Treatment aad

In few departments of medicine has there been wrought, in recent times a more complete revolution than in that of the Pathology and Therapeutics of diseases of the respiratory or* cans. The Introduction of the Larvngoscope has given a grade of positiveness aud certainty to the actual seat of the disease,

By my treatment a complete and permanentcure of this repulsive disorder am be effected.^. This I have demonstrated in thousands of cases, representing the disease in every form and all its various stages of development. My applications are made to reach tno diseased parts in the most direct and positive manner, instantaneously penetrating every cell and cavity of tho head communicating with the nostrils and subjecting everv portion of tho membrane to tho neallng action of the remedy employed, with the most beneficial results.

Discharge flrom the Car.

Discharge from the ear is dangerous, both to hearing and to the system generally. In some cases it occasions total deafness, while In all the hearing suffers to a more or less extent, and none esenpe without some notable Injur}' to the hearing power. Aside from its effect on hearing. the disease is apt to give rise to Neuralga, Epilepsy, St. Vitus Dance. Paralysis and other nervous disturbances, results scarcely to bo wondered at when we consider the close proximity of ths diseased aural cavity to the great nervous center, tho brain, to which the in llamalion or ulceration might be communlcatcd with fatal consequences.

Noises In the Head.

Kolses in the head are rometlmes the first and only indication Jof a morbid condition of tho car. At first they are slight and only come by •pells, but after a time they are constantly present and increase in intensity. They usually resemble the escape of steam, the ringing of Mis, the beating of the heart, the humming of insects, and in fact every im»Rinnblo sound. Often they prove a source of terrible torture and distress, and many a patient who applied to me for relief was far more anxious to have the noises removed than the hearing restored, If only one thin or the other could be doue.

the Deaf.

I would say that they must entirely discard tho idea that they are incurable. 1 have numerous letters from responsible men wlio have given up all hope of relief because one physician or another, whom they had beeti in tho habit of considering the epitome of medical knowledge, had pronounced them to be so.

The deaf are lrequently hoiKJless because of the failure of the efforts of ignorant pretenders, or of practioners perhaps generally able, but in such diseases utterly incompetent. No other maladies require so much experience in their treatment as tbe diseases of the Kar causing Deafness, and so also the diseases of the Respiratory Organs. Many canes of deafness are only caused by what is called Catarrh of the Inner Ear, and easily cured. Let them first be convinced that the physician to whom they apply Is worthy of confidence, and then thoroughly confide in him and co-operate with him, aiding his skill by strict attention to bis directions. This oa^y I ask for myself.
