not to fail to take their sweethearts with hem.

ments made by correspondent in to-day Ca

to buy goods in that city, to the injury OF our
own dealers and merchants, may be exaggera-
t,d We do net like to think that our own
people, who can buy as cheap goods here as
they can in Washington, can be SO derelict OF
duty as to act in this manner. 1t is contrary
to interest, to good policy, and, we repeat, to
duty No place can thrive If home business is
not encouraged. Everything that can be bought
at home, should be purchased here. Our mer-
chants should he encouraged. We must stand
by each other. The "shopping' should be
done here, and the bundles made up at our
stores. The Ladies', especially, should set a
patriotic example in this respect. They can
do much 10 this matter.

RObinsOn's CirCuS-1he Way VisItOri



EDITOR STATESMAN You speak in
high j terms of Robinson's Circus,
which gave exhibitions in this city
on Saturday last. While you might
have been treated decently by those
controlling the circus = newspaper men
usually are-otbers were treated with a
iboorishness, which, under other circum-
stances, might heve led to a breach of the
peace. "a
: On Saturday evening, accompanied by
a lady, visited the circus, and found more
tickets sold than the seats would accommo-
date. After standing some time. iostled
by a crowd of blacks and whites, inquired
of one who seemed to have authority
among the circus folks, if he could not
procure me a seat for the lady.
He most impudently refused. / told
him that it was impossible for me to stay
unless could get seat, not for myself, but
for the lady, when he only remarked that
might leave as soon as / pleased-that i
had not been sent for, and he supposed it
would not make much difference whether
left or remained. A friend gave me seat
for the lady, and 1 remained.
Robinson's Circus was once mobbed. II
the attaches of the establishment make a
practice of thus insulting visitors, l cannot
but think that the circus men were as much
to blame as those engaged in the unlawful
proceeding. On Saturday night the at
tdchees did much to provoke breach of the
peace, and it is much to the credit of oul
citizens that they refused to accept the
challenge. Truly yours, j. w.

= CRoUP.-Almostd daily we are called upon
to chronicle the death of some loved one,
by this dread disease, which often takes its
victim away from loving parents with only
very short notice. Every mother should
supply herself with Goes Cough Balsam,
for it is no exaggeration to say it will cure
ninety-nine cases in every one hundred, if
taken in season. There are very many
mothers who will tell you they owe the life
of some dear one to this wonderful medi-
cine. One very desirable quality is, that it
leaves no bad effect, it being perfectly
harmless. In cases of cough, hoarseness,
or tickling in the throat, it has no equal.

PRoF. NoTHNAGLE's CoNCERT.-To
night, 1t will be remembered, is the musi-
cal event of the season, the grandvocal and
Instrumental concert, given under the di-
reetion of Prof. Nothnagle, at the Opera
House. We suppose there can be no need
of our urging our citizens to attend. With
such an array OF talent. with the promise
of SO delightful an evening, we do not see
how people so fond of music as the citizens
of Columbus are, can well avoid being in
attendance. Some of the vocal selections
are truly beautiful, and will be rendered
magnifcently. There is as much musical
,calent in Columbus as in any city of its
inches in America, and we know it will be
patronized.
