QUESTIONS OF TAsTE.-In most mat.
tiers involving questions of taste, Opin.
ions will vary according to the training,
disposition, associations or culture 81
the individual. This is especially true
in matters of dress, and hence we often
see one person declare certain style is
exquisite, while another, with dis
gusted smirk, pronounces is perfectly
horrid." 1t is, perhaps, well that this
diversity exists in some kinds of busi-
ness. But in others there is no neces-
sity for it. Take the new spring style
business suits on saIeat the one price
ClothingHall for example-there seems
to be no two opinions about their per-
fection and fit. Frank has outdone HIM
self in his last production; they are
both neat and beautiful and what is
still more interesting, they are sold
very cheap, all who desire to be in
fastidious should procure one of Franks
latest from 40 Monroe Street Wheeling.

The Columbus Convention.

COMMENTS OF CINCINNATI PAPERS.
CINCINNATI, July 3i.-This morn
ing's Commercial comments editorially
upon the proceedings of the conven-
tion at Columbus yesterday, as follows:
"a chapter of political history of i'm
portance to the nation was read at Co
lumbus, yesterday. A full and fair ex-
preston of the profound public dissat-
isfaction with the Republican as the
administration party and with the
Democratic party as the opposition.
A third party was in good faith put In
the field. The stroke of business done
was of the most serious character. A
platform containing great deal that
Is excellent was adopted, and
a ticket that is strong nominated. No
negotions were carried on. the trading
politicians were left out In the cold"
The Enquirer editorially says: "To
sum up the new party. which comes
to us with Il flourish of trumpets, Is but
a weak and puny affair. The meager
convention, the indifference with
which its action Is received, and the
character and antecedents of the partic-
ipants, all go to prove that the oft re.
peated declaration that there was u

Associated with the earlier recollec-

once let Sapolio be used for this puc-

Bath brick or emery stone any more.

as brilliant as new, and does it in one

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Centaur Liniment,

There is no pain which the Centaur Lini-
ment will not relieve, no swelling it will not
subdue, and no lameness which it will not
cure. This is strong language but it is true.
Where the parts are not gone, its effects are
marvellous. 1t has produced more cures of
rheumatism, neuralgia, lock jaw, palsy ,sprains,
swellings, caked-breasts, scalds, burns, salt
rheum, ear-ache &C., upon the human frame,
and of strains, SPAWN, gals, &C., upon animals
in one year than have all other pretended
remedies since the world began. 1t is n coun-
ter-irritant, an all-healing pain reliever-
Cripples throw away their crutches, the lame
walk, poisonous bites are rendered harmless
and the wounded are healed without SCAR
1t is no humbug. The recipe is published
around each bottle. 1t is selling as no article
ever before sold. and it sells because it does
just what it pretends to do. Those who now
suffer from rheumatism, pain or swelling de-
serve to suffer if they will not use Centaur
Liniment. More than 1000 certificates of re-
markable cures, including frozen limbs, ,chron-
ic-rheumatism, gout, running tumors, &C.,
have been received. We will send circular
containing certificates, the recipe, &C.. gratis,
to any one requesting it. One bottle of the
yellow wrapper Centaur Liniment is worth
one hundred dollars for spawned or sweenied
horses and mules. or for screw-worm in sheep.
Stock-owners-thi liniment is worth your at
tentlon. No family should be without Cen
