The Grent Ohicago Fire.

Elsewhere in our columns
will be seen an advertisement
of a new publication published
by the Union Publishing Co.,
being q complete picture of
Chicago before and after the
Great Conhagration. The Au-
thors embrace the best talent
the City affords; Mr.. Upton be,
ing the Literary Editor of the
Chicago Tribune, and Mr.. Shea
han, the Editor, each with his
part to perform, is sufficient
evidence that the work will be
well done, and not too hastily In
this respect, this book will be
far ahead of anything that has,
or will appear, and all who
want a correct History will
find in this something that they
can hand down to future gen
eratiOns.
The work will be fully illus
trated by the best artists, to
which will be added a correct
Map of the City, and mechan>
ically, as we'll as historically,
the book will be second TO
none.
Our readers will find some
thing in this, without doubt,
that will Interest them, ,anl also
be beneficial. We bespeak for
this book a sale, both home
and abroad, fully as large as an
American book can possibly
obtain.

LOOK TO THE MINERAL REGIONS.
GallipOlis, Macarthur 81 Col
umbuS Railroad.

There are but a few, if any,
citizens of Columbus that are
not aware that the enterprise
which bears the above name
is organized to construct
railroad from Gallipolis, in
Gallia county, on the Ohio
river, via Macarthur, Vinton
county, to Logan, Hooking Co.,
where it is intended to connect
with the Columbus and Hook
ing Valley Railway-thus CIV
ing the Capital City direct
railroad connection with TIE
inexhaustibly rich COAL, iron
and salt veins of the extreme
southeastern portion OF Ohio
While the people residing
along the proposed road are
straining every nerve within
them to make it a success, we
fear they are not receiving
that material encouragement
from Columbus that is unques.
tionably due them, in view of
The great benefits to accrue all
around when the road is once
finished. 1t IS very gratifying
to know that the enterprise is
hardly thing of possibility or
doubt. 1t has so far progressed
that it is almost an assured re-
ality. Ought not our City
Council or a meeting of citi-
zens appoint a committee for
the purpose of going over the
route, comforting with those
who have the management of
the road, and ascertaining def
nitely what is necessary to be
done on our part to insure its
speedy construction! 1t seems
clear to US that SO important a
matter is deserving of careful
and prompt attention from
that large class of our wealthy
and active citizens who feel it
one of their first duties to do
everything in their power to
push Columbus forward as a
large manufacturing and trad
ing point.-O. s. Journal.

Oidn'tGO Up.

Mr.. and Mrs. Calender, resi-
dents of Delaware, sewed
themselves up in white gar
ments a few days ago, to make
their ascension to happier
climes according TO the belief
of the Millerites. They went
on the wood shed roof in order
to be really to take the first
train. SIT was a calm still
night" but the train didn't
come; and finally Mrs. Callen-
der rolled off the wood shed
and dislocated her ankle. All
it cost these folks was the doc
tors fee. Nobody was discom.
moded by their making tarna-
ton tools of themselves, and
nobody will object to their re-
peating the experiment al
their leisure.

Rcmbrandt's Pictures.

This new and beautiful style OF
portraits is fast gaining public favor.
Enquiry Is frequently made during the
day at Simond's Gallery: do you
make Rembrandt's pictures?' The
demand for this classic picture has
become so great that Mr.. Simonds has
mnde special arrangements by the adj
dition of suitable fixtures to produce
this justly celebrated portrait in the
very best style, aud will be made at a
small advance in price over the old
kind. All are invited to call at thi
Gallery and examine the work being
produced there. Chillieothe, Ohio.

TIE statement is made that
a gentleman of Charleston,
South Carolina, connected with
one of the National Banks of
that city, made an attempt at
soliciting aid for the sufferers
by the Chicago fire, but was met
by a spirit so bitterly hostile
to the people of the North,
that lie was compelled to de-
sist. He was told that if he
persisted IN soliciting aid for
these sufferers, he must leave
the city. A lady of Augusta,
Georgia, is also reported as
having said II glory in this fire

Providence at last for their
burning our cities OF Atlanta
and Columbus. Give them
money for relief? Never; no,
never! God is only Furnishing
them for their infamy and guilt
at last!'
Or the other hand it is a
source of qualification that we
can chonlcle The fact that many
Southern cities contributed
most literally towards this
good cause, and gave evidel ce
of that spirit which will even
tually wipe out the bitterness
and hatred evinced by the two
instances above cited.-O. S

Poke Root

Wherever Poke Root grows, it has a
local reputation rs a Blood Purifier, and
for the cure of Rheumatism. With all
this local reputation, and the praise of
distinguished Physicians (Drs. Coe, Lee,
King, Wilson NJ. Hunt, Grifiits, Copeland
and others who have tested its medical
powers; it has been neglected by the pro-
fession at large, as much through want
of a proper appreciation ofits merits, asa
knowledge of the proper way to prepare
ii for medicinal use. DR.. Oliver Crook,
IA physician who devotes his entire time
to the duties cf his profession } has fully
tested the active medicinal qualities OF
Poke Root during the last 25 years, and
unhesitatingly pronounces it to have
MORE MERIT-for diseases depending on
q depraved condition ofthe blood, than

our Chemist has combined the active
medicinal qualities of Poke Root with
the best Tonic Preparation of Iron, and

PUBLIC PARKS.

All well regulated cities have their sys-
TENS OF public drainage and public parks.
Both are deemed essential for the promo
ton of the physical, mental, moral and
pecuniary condition of people dwelling in
cities. If such things are necessary in
colder climates, how absolutely essential
they become here in the Sunny South
The short sighted policy that fears the ex-
pense of pleasure resorts has been over
come in all great cities, and no city can
now be deemed frst-class that has not
inaugurated comprehensive system of
public parks.
If proof is needed to establish the fact
that public parks of this description in
crease the value of real estate as well as
promote the health and happiness of the
people, we have only to refer to what the
great Central Park has done for the city
of New York. 1t has reclaimeda section
that was deemed most unhealthy to re-
side in, and of little value. The land
upon which it is laid out was described
few years ago as rough, unsightly re-
