A CHILL CURE.

A new cure for ague, noticed in "A
Terre Haute, Indiana, paper, may be
found Of use. The writer saws of tho..
afflicted with aguc:
Crawl down stairs head foremost.
Laugh at the idea, if you please, but do
your crawling first; you can then
afford to laugh. Just as tho chill is
coming on, start at tho top OF long
flight OF stairs and crawl down on your
hands and feet, head foremost. You
never did harder work in your life, and
when you arrive at the bottom instead
of shaking, you will find yourself puff
ing, red in the face, and per.piring
freely, from the ST rong exertions made
in the effort to support yourself. Try
it. 1t won't cost you near as much as
quinine or patent medicines, and if it
fails it will only do what they do every
day.

can. 1t is an old worn out
dodge for a Democratic paper
to affect great sympathy for de-.
feated Republican candidates,
but only think of Bowen weep
ing on the neck of Derry,
Robinet. Winters, Lantz and
such mep. Why, there isn't
one of them would touch him
with a rod-pole. If their friends
felt sore, l know of nothing
that would heal them quicker
than Jerome's sympathy. His
coincidence would go over a
man much like a lizard or
other reptile crawling down his
back. His snakey smile, his
hzzardy eyes, his sneaking ap-
proach, would make an honest
man shudder. There wasn't a
candidate or delegate before
the convention that would in
vite Jerome to his house or al
low him to sit at his table. The
same fact holds good with re-
spectacle Democrats, and the
idea of him attempting to sneer
at such men as Shades, Rob-
bins, wells, Jones, Sage, Miller,
Wilcox or in fact any man who
is above the dirty slums in
which Jerome wallows is impu-
dence personifed.
Now, sir; l am aware he is
beneath notice, bat he has been
so much IN the habit of crowd
ing into the presence Of decent
people in public assemblageS
and then crowding his foul pa
per with dirty personalities
that l have concluded to pull
him up a little where people
can see him.
Everybody who reads his pa
per does not know. him as he ls
known in Vinton aud Jackson.
When he left Jackson a decent
man wouldn't recognize him.
The records of the Court in
his celebrated Damage Case,
IN which he backed down from
prosecuting, show him not only
devoid of manhood, but down
beneath The beasts of the field.
If he wants to see those records
copies can be procured.
He is a disgrace to the edlto-
rial fraternity, a drawback to
his party, a foul blot upon civ
llization, a defamer of respect
able folks, a common liar, and
if he wants to drift along with.
out being stirred up, let him
keep within the legitimate line
of his business as an editor.
Yours, A DELEGATE.

announce that there will be a
reunion of the officers and
members of the 26th Ohio
Volunteers, at Cincinnati, Sept.
10Th and goth, being the ami.

because the Exposition will

railroads generally will carry
passengers at half fare. Head
quarters will be at Hunts Din

comprising the regiment were
recruited generally in the
counties of Butler, Ross, Della,
