THE GREAT SHOW Is COMING

And when we say, "1he Great ShoaO,"
even the Obluse patriot who still believes
in the purity Of Louisiana 'lectons ought
to Immediately comprehend that we
mean The Worlds Show"-as the press
has very properly got to designing it--of
the irrepressible Phoenix" T. Barnum,
High Priest of Marvel Land, and Great
Practical Object Teacher of the Age.
Yes, Earhs incessant ransacker, like
that musical myth of Negro Minstrelsy,

and Just about that time everybody for
forty miles round about, with their de-
voted wives, phenomenal children and
blessed babies, will be doing the same
thing, and Fourth Of July and Fair Day
will have to again retire into the pro-
foun obScurty of a total eclipse. Why,
you couldnt keep the folks away by i'm

phaut couldn't draw them the other way.
Wherever the great American citizen
can get more than his moneys worth he
is going, and knowing from experience
that Barnums Great Travelling Worlds
Fair gives ten times the worth of the
price ofudmission, the sons Of Columbia
would struggle through the gates of its
vast canvas city, even though its ferO-
cious Bengal Tigers were tending door,
after six days fast. The Master Man

them the multitudinOus attractions to

Gently inquire, "Why is this tus?" Be-
cause everybody realizes-besides real
izing ten hundred per cent on the invest
ment-that one might as well try to out
reach one of Barnum's high-tonGd Girafi7s
as to attempt outreaChing his proverbial
enterprise, in reaching to every uttermost
corner of the earth for still rarer curiOsi-
ties to add to his present little 100000
collection that he moves steam, eleCtrici-
ty, millions and men to secure the latest
animal acquisitions, scientific triumphs,
and areniC achievements. In the ORR
ent and Occident, and at the An!ipodes,
whenever novelty is captured or crea-
ted, the cry is: Where is Barnum?"
and the answer: "TH take H." There
was but one thing more left for this
monument of acquisitiveness to try to do
to out-do himself. He hastried it the
present season, and every one will flock
to his colossal 20-center pole pavillions on
Wednesday, the 10th inst, to ascertain
the success of the experiment, and to
evidence their admiration for, and cor
dial appreciation of him as one of their
genuine self made, representative men,
and the greatest and biggest hearted, and
purest minded Snowman that ever lived.

PRESIDENT GRANT has, at last, been
smoked out on the third term, evidently
with reluctance. His letter which is in
this paper, is singular document. He
wants people to think he resigns his third
term pretentions, but the letter does not
80 state. The saving clause is in it and
if the Force Bill oflast winter had passed
Congress, he might have raised the pre-
text to secure his third election by means
Napoleonic. The lurking desire is mani
fest in the letter, and it is clear that he
has sought denomination, and in fact
does yet.

WE find the following condensed statis
tics concerning Ohio's finances and tax
alton which may be of interest to our
readers
Ohio was valued at $l,58O,970,324 in

on which it stands is worth $5,0OO,OOO.
The eamount raised by taxation last year
for State purposes was $l,250,OOO, at the
rate of three and wotenths mills on the
dollar.

WHAT does the sage of the Repository
think of Grants third term letter? Is
"third term humbug now?" He says
a third term may become advisable and
necessary in the future. Does he not
expect that future next year2 What,
too, does he mean by saying he surren-
dered life position in the army, if he
does not mean third terml The letter
shows conclusively that third term is no
humbug.

SENATOR FERRALL, of Carrolton, called
on us one day last week. He was in Sa-
lem on important business. Ferrall is
the most popular Democrat in his Dis
trict, and that's fact-Sdlem Republican.
Mr.. Ferrall ought to be popular for he
is square man, and stands up for the
right. Two years ago he was elected to
the Senate f Ohio by over 900 majority,
being the only Democrat chosen to the
Senate from Carroll and Stark since 1857,
when Hon. Thomas w. Chapman was
elected. We hope to see Mr.. Ferrall tri.
umphantly reelected this fall.

FRIEND MCGREGoR:
The folks hereabouts are busy prepar-
ing to celebrate Memorial Day. 1t will
be observed in a quiet sort of way, the
chief difficulty this year is to get the ma
terial for floral display, the late spring ma
terially interfering.
Our COrnet Band gave the first OF their
weekly open air concerts on last Saturday
evening. 1t was a most enjoyable affair,
and the boys certainly present fine ap.
pearan in their elegant wagon. A neat
uniform is all they need now.
There is considerable grain coming into
market just now, and a general emptying
out ofgranaries by the farmers in antici-
patton of the coming harvest. Wheat
brings $l,3O and Sl.35, and oats 6Oc. and
62c. Our enterprising friends Morledge
and Mackaman, are shipping to eastern
markets large quantities Ofgrain. General
business, however, is dull.
John C. Creighton of this place, who
was quite seriously injured about the
head lately by being thrown from his
sulky while driving cattle, is able to be
about his business again.
This vicinity is once more walked up on
the railroad question, nd this time with

cent ofthe total cost OF construction and
equipage being already dow on the
books, subscribed by good men, and as
soon us three per cent. more is RAISED it
is proposed to let the grading, &c. 1t is
not often that railroads are built on such
a solid financial basis. Our people have
for the last few months enjoyed season
of self graduation, as it were measure of
"true inwardness" over the fact that we
were shad-bellied out of the Valley Road.
