Swedish Professor since his residence
in Cincinnati. The most desperate ca
SEES of dyspepsia. scrofula, liver COM

act chemically upon the blood purgisg
it from the clements of disease, and Gu
ring an infinite variety of disorders, by
cutting off the supply of morbid mat

Man VS.. Gentlemen.

Mr.. EDiToR:-The following was found
by friend Of mine while exploring the
Mammoth Cave" and is supposed to
have been written by Adam or some of
his descendants, and which / transmit
TO you for publication, hoping that it
may servo as mirror for some of the
'high-toned' and 'upper-tendom' ofyour
town to see themselves in. p. G.
Let us inquire what it takes in man
to constitute a modern gentleman. You
must get a long-tailed, broadcloth coat,
high -heeled, stub-toed boots, tght-ft
close-cut pants, genteel vest, and flash
cravat-perfume with brandy and to
bacco, and carry two dozen cigars in a
miniature cigar case. When walking
out, be sure to wear pair ofkid gloves,
or If you can't afford it, wear one at a
time, carrying the other in your hand;
this serves two-fsd purpose, viz: be-
sides being economical, it gives fine
opportunity Of displaying the large seal
rirg on your little finger. Wear a large
fob chain, for it looks as though you
valued time, no matter if your watch
is always run down. BE sure TO carry
a very small rattan cane, as it will serve
for defense in case Of an attack from the
canine species, and excite sympathy for
your supposed rhcumatics. Also, be
sure TO wear moustache-it is indis.
.pensable-it makes you have turin
appearance-thirty-three hairs are the
requisite nanber; but sixteen and two.
thirds will do, If they are twirled grace
fully in the presence of ladies. In com
pany, always make il a point to be the
lion Of the occasion" and let no other
be heard but yourself. Take a thimble
full of brains,' twenty pounds of self
esteem, mix well, and put in your era
nlum-they will assist in removing your
native bashfulness and modesty enable
you to quote poetry, write love sonncts,
roll up your eyes like duck in thun.
der storm, and sight like tca-ketllc
when in the presence Of your sweet
heart.
Follow the foregoing rules, and you
will no doubt create a sensation and win
the title Of genuine modern gentleman
rs. man.

II is already we'll known that the pro

B6s- The Buck-Africans made tre-
mendous effort to carry Blooming Grove
township at the late election. Owing
to deaths, removals, immigration &C.,
the Republican majority had been con-
siderably reduced, and it was vaunt-
ingly proclaimed that henceforth black
Democracy would reign triumphant.
TO attain tbs end every means, hon
orablc and dishonorable, was resorted
to. The clique offered each one of the
faithful new hat in the event Of their
success; importations were made from
Rush and Union counties, from Meta
mora and Brookville township, but all
in vain. In the emphatic language of
somebody:
1.-THE day is past. the deed is done,
The Equinoxian has crossed the sun "
and Blooming Grove township has roll
ed up such Republican majority as
shows her to be o. X. So mote it be.
