the following:
"The Hippodrome is a bold innovation

No NOnsenSe.-There IS so much Of
promise and so little Of performances among
men generally that confidence is therefore
recognized as plant Of but slow growth.
There are some things, however, so album
dant in performance as to admit of neither
doubt or question. About such things
there is 40 nonsense, and chief among these
is the grand Gift Concert Of the Public
Library Of Kentucky, which comes Off
Nos. 30. Indeed, there can be 10 nonsense
about this. Gov. Bramlette announces it

The Remington sim In the REID.

Astaunch friend of the celebrated Reming-
ton gun submits the following in reply to an
article that appeared in the UNION AND
AMERICAN a few days ago in reference to
the meritS.ef the Bitterlich q Legler gun
In competition with the Remington: sin
the shooting match referred to, the Bitter
Itch & Legler gun failed on at least four
occasions to explode the cartridge, from
some defect in the organism of the lock,
which was proven by such cartridges, or
some Of the same, exploding ON being
struck a second time. This is a defect
that cannot be laiG to the Remington. If
We rscollect Alright, the second match.
claimed to be won by Il. & L., was gained
by a Wesley Richards. The gentlemen
using the Remington had neither drawn
trigger for over year, and were matched
against skilled marksmen, who are con-
stantly in practice and trim for matches.
These facts are not adduced to detract from
the esteem in which the Bitterlich x Leg
Ter gun is held, but merely to correct an
erroneous impression produced by said ar
tide. Tested fully and evenly against
guns of the best foreign or domestic manu-
facture, the Remington will sustain the
worldwide reputation it has made for IL
