SIGN OF TROUBLE.

So soon as the Cincinnati Convention
movement grew to its present proper
tons, politicians, whose lives are moth
ing but barter and trade, commenced
their Vaccinations. The telegrsphic re-
uorts from Cincinnati speak Of eombi-
nations in the interest of rival parties,
and the practice Of all the arts that have
generally characterized parties in ma
tional conventions. 1t is only recently
that this disreputable fact was developed.
1t was only when the project of the con-
vention developed the weakness OF
Grant, and the growing independence OF
the people became clear that tricksters
concluded that they could mould it to
their own interests-that as they had
nothing to hope from Philadelphia, they
might, by assuming virtue, reap har-
vest at Cincinnati. 1t appears from tel
grams that Trumbull declines to be a
candidate for the nomination, and the
inference is, that his prospects have
been ruined by combinations of
ambitious men. This may or may
not be true, but the report will have
damaging effect upon the moral force of
the convention. If there is any body
Of men who should act with discretion
and the last degree Of modesty, it is that
which will meet in Cincinnati on WedneS-
day. They have cut loose from their
party, and by maintaining that it was
on account of its corruptions in admin
istration and OF assumptions of power,
have elected an outburst of approba-
ton from the people. To wrangle right
upon the threshold of the development
of the movement will disgust the Repub-
licans, to say nothing of the effect it

pied suddenly OF Heart Disease.


How common is the announcement.
Thousands are suddenly swept into
eternity by this fatal malady. This
disease generally has its origin in i'm
pure blood filed with irritating poison
GUS materials, which, circulating through
the heart, irritate its delicate tissues.
Though the irritation may at first be
only slight, producing a little palpitation
or irregular action, yet by and by the
disease becomes firmly seated, and in
flammation or hypertrophy, or thicken-
ing of the lining membrane or of the
valves, is produced. How wise to give
early attention to case OF this kind.
Unnatural throbbing or pain in the re
eion of the heart should admonish one
that all is not right, and if you would
preserve it from further disease, you
must help it to beat rightly by the use
of such remedy as shall remove the
cause of the trouble. Use DR.. Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery before the
disease has become too seated, and it
will, by its great blood purifying and
wonderful regulating properties, effect
perfect cure. 1t contains medical prop
critics which act specifically upon the
tissues of the heart, bringing about a
healthy action. Sold by all 6rst-class

,,smn,,s Industrini Rxposition.


The value Of an Industrial Exposition
10 our city is hardly appreciated by our
business men. The scheme was started
into life by the wide.awake and progress
siye members of the Mechanics Institute
who, SO far, have taken all the steps
looking towards its establishment. In
Louisville over one hundred thousand
dollars we're subscribed to the Exposi-
ton. The St. Louis Exposition is worth
millions of dollars to the people Of that
city. Last year over one hundred thou
sand visitors attended the exposition.
New Orleans has already secured large
subscriptions for the Exposition in that
city this fall. The Nashville Exposition
has been very successful, and last year
the net proceeds amounted to over seven
thousand dollars. The Exposition, if
established in our city, will attract an
immense number Of visitors annually
The Mechanics Institute has no desire
TO control the matter, but invites all
citizens to become stockholders, and
establish the Exposition on firm and
successful basis. This evening, at a
o'clock, there viii be be a public meeting
held at the Chamber of Commerce for
the purpose Of organizing the Industrial
Exposition. Books will be open for the
subscription OF stock. Every manufac-
turer, mechanic, professional and bust
ness man should be present. and aid In
this most laudable undertaking.

MEMPHIS THEATER.-Janauschek will
appear in her unrivaled role, Mary
Stuart" tonight. This Bohemian from
the good old city of Prague has achieved
fame as an actress, probably unequaled
on the English stage OF her Mary
Stuart" scotland's Inflated Queen, a
New York paper comments in the follow
ing manner:
There was large audience at the
Academy-and large audience there
would be a dense throng almost any
where else. Mary Stuart, hackneyed
though it be, has distinct popularity.
Nothing need be said about the drama.
Nobody, indeed, but some Christopher
Columbus of criticism-not yet come to
the surface-could manage TO say any
thing new on subject on which the
press has been hacking, with noble in
dustry. for four or five years. Enough
that il crystalizes the mournful story Of
Marysh fall, and makes an historic
episode Of the past, real and vital spec
tacle to The present. Madam Janau-
schek has ioften played the part and,
as often, has aroused public enthusiasm
By an emotional power that is really
peerless. and that carries all beyond it
Ike whirlwind. This she again mani
tested last night in the great third act Of
the drama, which was received with such
spontaneous and emphatic applause as
comes from the heart of the people only
when deeply touched. 1t is upon this
act that attention nightly centers in
Mary Stuart But Janauschek was
equally touching in the pathetic scene
that closes the drama, and her Mary
Stuart will take its place at once
among the best dramatic successes Of
Ills remarkahlx brilliant season.

to the official report of the lady presi-
dent last year, had been loaned to

contributed by very poor and griey,,

whether Colonel A. j. Kellar has ever
returned it, and if not, why not? |
mean not to be offensive or otfieious, but
