THE unusual* pressure on ear advertising columns crowds ont some items of local mention and a great deal of mighty good reading in type for this issue, but next week we will give more than the usual amount, so that the reader will have his average fiveeenta worth.

WE have had many cheap and pi ant excursions this season, bnt for cheapness or the many attractions offered, none surpass that of next Saturday, to St. Louis. The fare for the round trip is only 93.75. The attractions have been mentioned so often that all onr readers are familiar with tbem.

ALMA RAT, a bright and intelligent girl of eighteen, daughter of W. R. Ray, near Prairieton, died last Monday, of consumption, and "her teacher" writes a half column obituary, wherein he says she often carried eight hard branches, frequently studying until two o'clock in the morning. We are sorry to say anything to wound "hearts that bleed," bnt that teacher does a great wrong who compels or even allows a delicate young girl with consumption preying on her vital organs, to pursue eight hsrd branches, necessitating study until two o'clock in the morning. Is it a wonder that thus early she died of consumption Parents should heed this warning. Hundreds of boys and girls are going to early graves, victims to the cramming process in schools. And the victims are mostly among those children considered the brightest.

AN INCIDENT.

A little incident occurred at the union passenger depot one day this week, which to explain we will have to begin with eighteen years ago. A.t that time a young man whose name shall be like all the others connected with the incident—blank—married a young woman. They were both nice people, and as Artemus used to say, oome of good families. The marriage occurred in the eastern part of this State, where the parties and their relatives to the first and second generations lived. A year afterward they removed from the old Hoosler State to Southern Iowa—to one of tbe best towns in that part of the State. The young man went to work, and in less than three years was In business for himself—having nothing when he began. He prospered still other years. In tbe year 1872 he was consid ered wealthy. He concluded to go to tbe mountains that year for bis health, and in order to have his business go on all right in his absenoe, took in a partner to leave at home in charge of his affairs. He went to tbe mountains of Colorado. His partner was an excellent young man, and he was left to board with the family and take charge of them, as well as the business. The man in the moan tains not only found health, but gold, and soon wrote to hive bis partner close up the business and come out. He closed up the business and went out, taking the family along. When the family arrived, tbe husband learned that his partner bad done more than be was requested to do in the way of look, ing to his family. He had psid partlcu lar attention to the wife—apparently very agreeably to her. He, like many other men have done, thought of revenge and all such things, but his better judgment prevailod. He settled up his partnership business with both his business and matrimonial partners, and left them. He fought hard by law to get his boy—an only child—from tbe disgraced mother, but tbe oourts were against him. He left the boy also. He returned to Indiana, and to this city. Three years after this separation be married again. He, accompanied by his new wife, was at the depot awaiting the train from the weat, Wednesday afternoon, when his astonished eyes beheld his boy and his former wife, among the passengers. They all three reoognized each other at onoe. She was poorly clad—disgraced, deserted, humbled, and had not tbe heart to speak to him. He was with his new wife and oould not speak to the old one. Tbe boy broke tbe spell by rush4ng to and throwing bis arms about his father and oalling him by name. Tbe parents then spoke. The latest wife looked on in bewilderment. Explanations followed and the result was—the son staying with his father, and tbe mother going on to—we will not state where. All this in the din and confusion of a fifteen minutes' stop of a train—all unnoticed by the crowd pushing hither and thither. Verily, strange things occur, 'twlxt Heaven and earth, Horatio.5'

*OR THE SICKLY SEASON. An ounce of prevention is as good aa pound of quinine. It Is better to take Turkish bath once a week through tbe summer and tell than suffer aches, pains, malarious chills and fever, rheumatism, nsuralgla, eta

The bath is said to befthe beat mode of removing the cause of disease. As the lightning rod conveys away the electricity as fast ss It accumulates and avoids the possibility of a powerful shock, so the Turkish bath removes the cause of disease by opening the pores of the skin and equalising tbe circulation of the blood and thereby assists nature to avert or throw off disease, cleansing the inner aa well aa the outer body of aU Impurities and keep-

THE SHOW TO-DA Y.

Hera is what the Pittsburg Daily Chronicle saya of the show exhibiting in this city to-day: "The inauguration of the tentuur in this city by the Great 7 Elepi Railroad show of the Sells brothers has

been a brilliantly successful one, and entirely satisfactory to the most exacting critics among all classes. The immense capacity of the canvas was fully tested on the south side last evening, and even the roughs

who generally take advantage of circus day to display some of their superfluous cussedness, woe mollified bv the unprecedented excellence of the exhibition into quite respectable and vociferously enthusiastic spectators. As a general thing, visitors rush precipitately through the menagerie and scramble on to the circus stats but in this case the msgnitude and rarity of the zoological department compelled attention, and the space in front of the elephants and cages was constantly crowded. The animals are all remarkably fine specimens, and many of them new here. "The circus fully deserves the compliments it has received, and presents the most eminent of riders and gymnasts in an exciting programme of ample variety. The trained animals are wonderful, and the management attentive and polite. The comfortable reserved seats are also a most desirable innovation."

FACTS TO BE ESPECIALLY REMEMBERED:

1st. I have revolutionised and purified tbe Menagerie and Clrc&s Tent ExhlbiUon. I have made It a place where refined ladies and gentlemen can go witb their cnilamn and never witness a gesture nor hear a remark that a lody would not counteuance in tier a 2d. I never divide nor decrease my attractions, but add to them contimmllj. 3d. I am sole proprietor of all the railroad cars that transport my "Greatest Show on Earth.". I own every dollar in the entire exhibition, and have no Interest in any other show. 4th. I positively never advertise an attraction that I do not exhibit, and Ido sot, for Want of room, andvertiae many rare novelties which I do exhibit. 6th. Immense as my street procession Is. I nut into it less than half of my cages of wild animals'and museum curiosities, and only half tte number of my marvclouB Trained Stallions. 0th. Mine is four times more extensive and costly than any show that ever traveled, and I will forfeit and pay &0,000 if my dAlly expenses tor the lastseven yeara h«ve not been more (probably treble* than the entire gross receipts of any tent exhibition that ever traveled in this or any other country.
