THE NEW SKIRT

THE NEW PATENTED
DUPLEX ELLIPTIC" STEEL SPRING
n o o p S KIR T!
G. III. SELLEA,

MO. I UNION BLOCK, has for salo u remark
~ able Invention in Skirts, which will entirely
obvisto and silence the only objection TO the use o
Hoop skirts, viz, the annoyance to the wearer as
we'll rs the public, especially In crowded assem-
bies, stages coaches, railroad cars armchairs, OF
sitting down anywhere. from the difficulty OF con-
tracting them and occupying small space.
The Invention OF the "DUPLEX ELLIPTIC
SPRINGS" entirely removes this difficulty, while
giving the skirt the usual full and symmetrical
appearance, the wearer Is enabled to contract IL
with scarcely any attention effort into small a
compass that no trouble will he experienced In the
most crowded coaches or cars, dispensing entirely
with the old difficulty, and enabling the wcarer to
derive all the benefits which the use OF this skirt
has Introduced.
The Invention Of this "Duplex Elliptic Spring"
like all other valuable inventions, is OF the most
simple kind, consisting OF Duplex Tor twol Elliptic
Steel Springs ingeniously braided together edge To
edge, being very flexible, tough and elastic, ena-
bling the wearer to place and fold it when In use
as easily and with the same convenience as n silk
or muslin dress. Another important feature OF the
Duplex Elliptic Spring, Is tho durability Of the
wires or springs. giving much greater strength TO
the Hoops, which prevents their breaking or BEND
ing out OF shape.
The New Duplex Elliptic Skirt being much more
durable than the single wire, thus adding economy
TO the advantages. This Invention Is destined to
create an excitement among the fair rs no lady
will dispense with the New Patented Duplex Flip.

NEW TESTIMONIALS.
From the Home Journal, June 4th.l


In every business or profession. indeed in every
department Of science SKILL there is always some
acknowledged hsad-some one who stands out in
bold relief among his fellows, as sort Of loader.
In tho study and treatment Of deafness and catarrh
as special diseases, DR.. Il. b. LIeHTHILL, Of THIS
lie has devoted years Of labor to this speciality and
is now reaping the reward of his industry, The
editorial columns Of the Tribune of recent date,
bear witness to the Doctors success in this depart
ment Of medicine. We quote the paragraph:
"CURE OF DEAF MUTE--LouIs LoEwINsTEIN,
lad fourteen years of age, born in Germany, came
to this city when he was about two years old. Soon
hearing. BY degrees he became first deaf and then
dumb. For nearly ten years he was a mute. unable
to hear the oudest voice, or to articuate word -
About one year ago he was placed by his parents in
the hands OF DR.. LIGHTHILL, who has so far sue
ceeded in restoring to him his lost powers of hear
who speak to him distinctly and deliberately. Dur
ing the past four or five months he has been under
the tuition Of Mr.. BENNECKE, and has made consid-
erable progress in reading and arithmetic"
Having been supplied with the lads address. we
further investigated tho matter, and discovered
that, previous TO calling on DR.. LIGHTHILL, the
youths considered hopeless, and he was for
lum. The Rev.. JOHN NoTT, DID,, Professor in
Union College, Schenectady, in q published letter,
tenders his gratitude to Dr. LIGHTHILL for treating
successfully his case Of Deafness. Rev. FRED: 5.
JEWELL, Professor Of the State Normal School at
Albany also testifes TO having been cured of caarrh.
tributes to his talent from some OF our wealthiest
and most prominent and respected citizens, which
may be seen application. 1t would be difficult
TO speak in any but terms of praise OF his treatment
in the face Of these many proofs and facts testify
ing to his success.

An Infamous Electi0neering Asui-
latin

From Frankfort, KY, the capital of that
State, we have received acopy OF Ihe Lex
ington National Unionist, organ of the Au-
ministration, Of the 18th October. Inc
leading article Is statement OF the plan 10
be observed there in conducting the next
election, and threatens vengeance on all
who vote for Mcclellan, We quote.
"The Presidential election, as all know,
occurs on the 9Th day of November next,
when all who are entitled to vote, will have
an opportunity of enrolling themselves for
Lincoln and law, or tor Mcclellan and the
Southern Confederacy. All those who vote
for the former will prove themselves supe-
rior 10 the "negro;" those who cast their
suffrage for the latter will show to all those
who witness the act, that they are rebels and
traitors, and, If Kentuckians, that they think
more of slavery than the Government, their
country, yes their God, for with rebels and
traitors, the woolly headed negro becomes
their God" sH
And on that day the Unconditional Union
men propose, ard are fully determined to
see, that none, no not one, who is disfran-
chised by the Kentucky law, shall cast his
vote. They are determined that only those
who are by law entitled to vote, shall do SO
at the coming election. The history OF
every man in our country is written out,
Jn6y are all knOWli, ut UHhett, anu VIII pO
remembered, and it will be useless for any
illegal voter to present himself at the polls
on that day.
"After the election, the poll books will
show how each man has cast his vote, and
these books will be freely consulted TO as
certain who are loyal and who disloyal, and
when the gentlemen present themselves be-
fore our Board ofTrade, &c, &C., declaring
their loyalty, they will only have to refer to
the poll books to stamp them as traitors, II
they have voted for the candidates so much
admired by jeff Davis & Co., for whom
rebel soldiers, traitors and spies will want
to vote. Look before you leap. Beware,
before it is too late"
The concluding paragraph of this article
would disgrace the minion of an European
emperor In Poland or France. What can
men be thinking of when they offer such
arguments as this to Americans? Is the
old glory gone forever, that men think the
American spirit can be cowed, and the
American blood turned to water by such
threats as these from newspaper warriors? !?
The nation would deserve to meet its end,
ifsuch threats really affected the minds Of
her citizen sons.

Walker!

: ROBERT j. WALKER, a renegade Democrat
who now holds one of the ten thousand
new Offices created by ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
and is living in Europe in grand style on a
big salary, has written along winded letter
on behalf of his masters claims to the Presi-
dency, in which he labors to convince him
self that 'there should be but one party in
the United States" and that party the one
which pays him his salary. According to
WALKER's magnificent political creed, any
movement to defeat LINCOLN, is a conspir-
acy to cheat RoBERT ]. out of his salary,
and 1t Is, therefore, treason. Every man
who refuses to join the old fashioned Abo-
ntion Disunion party is traitor treacher-
ously bent upon robbing WALKER of the
pap he has managed to secure for himself
under every Administration during the last
thirty years. This disintercsted patriot
need not be SO dreadfully alarmed about
himself for he can more easily turn Demo-
crat again, swallow his words, and support
McCLELLAN's Administrations an office
than any man in Europe or America. He
has swallowed himselfso often, politically,
that It has become habit with him. ari

A .Gang.n

This is the epithet applied to the gallant
soldiers from this city, who recently rein
forced the Seventeenth Battery, at New Or
leans, to the number of twenty. A major
ity of these men voted for Mr.. Houk, and
therefore the Journal bestows upon them
the odious and opprobrious epithet--
"gang!" and asserts that the battery will
not be benefited by the addition of such
men. Persons in the army, who choose to
exercise their own judgment in voting, will
please take notice, that in the Black Re-
publican estimation, they are no longer
''braye boys" but simply "a gang.n The
secret of this vote is to be found in the fact,
that these brave and honest fellows have
remained long enough at home to know and
appreciate the patriotism Of the Democracy;
while those who have been in the field for
two or three years, have been lied TO and
deceived by the Black Republicans, and

The Loyal League Conspiracy 10
6,avvv the Election by Fraud.

The Abolitionists, elated by their success
in perpetrating election frauds in Indiana
and elsewhere, and seriously alarmed at
their greatly diminished majoritics in ONO,
are perfecting arrangements to perpetrate
frauds in this State. The preliminary symp-
tom of this conspiracy is given out by the
State House clerks who correspond with
the Cincinnati Abolition papers, and DO the
unclean work for the Abolition State Cen
trail Committee. From what these cores
pondents give out it is pretty clear that the
Loyal Leaguers have a plan to vote at the
Presidential Election in citizens clothes in
the morning and in soldiers clothes in the
afternoon, and keep on voting wherever
and whenever they can, as they did at In
dianapolis and other points in In
diana, on the 18th of October. The Democ-
racy should be prepared to detect and ex-
pose these Abolition frauds wherever at
tempted. The Loyal Leaguers are s,oorn
to carry the election for their master in
Washington, and there is not particle of
doubt that they will for once attempt to
keep their oaths, even if fraud and blood
shed are required. Let Democrats be warn
ed in time. This is no electioneering story
it is the solid truth.

A Specimen of Abolition Lying.

We find the following infamous lie in a
late issue of The Sandusky Reg;ster-a pa
per that claims to be about as decent as any
of its Abolition contemporaries; and we on
ly reproduce it to show our readers how des-
perate LINCoLN's dogs are becoming:
"Has anybody ever seen the Chicago
Platform in Democratic paper, since the
date of its promulgation? No. But vast
number of the Union papers keep it up as
standing matter in their columns-it being
found the best electioneering article they
can publish"
Our readers need not be told that we have
kept the Chicago Platform as standing mat
ter in THE STATESMAN eversince our return
from the Convention; and most of the other
Democratic papers have done, and are do
ing, the same thing. Nor is it true that "a
vast number of the Abolition papers keep
it up as standing matter in their columns"
We don't know of one that does it! What
reckless living!
