A CuRIosrrY.-This morning we were shown
genuine Japanese covering, which came around
chest Of japan Tea just received by Riale
Brothers. The chest, undoubtedly, is the most
beautiful piece of workmanship in that line we
have ever seen; and the Tea, We are assured, is
equal to the appearance. We recommend our
friends to call and see it.

J. w, Deans Livery Stable.

The new livery stable Of Mr.. J. w. Dean, on
Jackson st., opposite the Methodist Church, is SO
much in advance of the ordinary institution of the
kind in western inland towns, skst we feel like
boasting Of it little in behalf Of Ottawa thrift
and enterprise. The stable is built Of brick, two
stories in height, and covers about 40 by 100 feet
Of ground. There is, on the ground floor, neat
Office, large harness room. stabling for about
80 horses, besides room enough more for 50 car
riaees, buggies, SC. Up stairs there is storage
room for host Of paraphernalia needed in the
outfit of first class establishment Of its kind,
besides great bins for holding oats, corn, &C.,
and room I'VE should judge for 100 tous~of
hay. Dunn walters and elevators are arranged
to do the heavy lifting, and hydrants at con-
veuant points supply the water, while gas fix
tures supply abundant light in the night.
It is almost needless to add, that having erect
ed such building, Mr.. Dean had it stocked to
be in keeping. Indeed we doubt whether out
side of the large cities finer outfit Of horses.
carriages, buggies, Sc, can be found at any liv-
cry stable in the state. There are single and
double rigs for family parties, hunting parties,
couples, or single rigs, with any sort Of horses,
from suoh as he will entrustonly with his own dri-
vers to horses that he is not afraid to entrust to
women and children. And the final beauty Of
all to be mentioned in the case is, that Mr.. D. is
eminently reasonable in his charges, in no case
charging more, and often less than inferior estab-
lishments. Thus in his case as in most Others it
is again true, that the "best is the cheapest"

4 Falsehood Persisted In.

The Evansville JOURNAL insists
that the Cairo and Vincennes Rail-
road has been abandoned. There is
an ignorance or malignity 10 this that
is entirely inexcUsable. There are,
at this time. one thousand five hun
dTed laborers at work on the line, the
grading is fully half done, and all
along the line the work is progressing
with greater vlgOr than ever. The
rumored embarrassment OF General
Burnside caused four sub cOnsraetors
to suspend operations, and from this
circumstance the Evansville and Pa
dueah papers few to the conclusion
that the road would not be built. An
order for the resumption of the work
these contractors had abandoned was
given nearly a week ago, and every
man returned to 1t, and now the work
is progressing more favorably than
ever. Within sixty days from this
date construction trains will be placed
on this end of the line.
IF the JOURNAL is disposed to act
with ordinary fairness toward the peo-
pie Of Southern Illinois, who are
deeply interested in the success of this
road, it will correct the falsehood it
mas persisted IN circulating for days
and days after every shadow of foun-
dation for It was removed Cairo
BUlle5iR. ~
The BulletiR has not read the Ev-
ansVille JOURNAL, or it Willfully mis-
represents US. We have not insisted
that the Cairo & Vincennes Road has
been abandoned. We published the
regular press dispatches, announcing
that it had been abandoned, and com
mented on the probable effect of such
abandonment upon our railroad into
Southern Illinois. We have also
been just as prompt to publish every
thing the friends of the road have
said in its favor. The Bulletin knows
this, if il has read the JOURNAL at
all, and we think it should not eriticise
unless it does read our paper. Evans
vile expects to be largely benefited
by the completion of the Vincennes &
Cairo Road, for it will give her access
to customers now out of her reach.
Therefore she is anxious to have the
road built at the earliest day practi

THE officers of the Cleveland, Co
Iumbus, Cincinnati 4 Indiana Central
Railroad have ordered its conductors
of the road to wear blue, and the

the change easy the company will pay
for the first uniforms worn. Hitherto,
we believe, the Grand Trunk Rail-
way of Canada has been the only road
on the North American Continent
having uniformed conductors. The
first adoption of uniforms by the New

strong opposition on the part of those
compelled to wear them, but we pre-

THE fact is, says the Cincinnati

the debt has been absolutely reduced
s43,000,OO0; and during The first year
of his administration, if taxes mean
time are not reduced, over s100,000,000
of the principal will be paid off. This
will be accomplished through honesty
in the collection Of the revenue, and
economy in expenditures, and will
make good the pledge of the Repub-
lican party, and the pledge Of GRANT
in accepting the nomination. The
force of this cannot be broken by
Misrepresentation. It stands out in
