BdrnuDa's Stoao from the Stand
point of the ''Iruly Good No. 2.
Sitting on the bench in the Court
House yard the other day, half
asleep, we heard buzzing conver-
sation going on few steps away.
1t seemed to us that Bro. Springer
and one of the Old Lights were dis
cussing "high p'ints." Thus they
seemed to discourse.
o. L. So, Bro. Springer, you ad-
vertised Barnum's show and visited
it, circus and all
Bro. S. Yes: You know it's the
"great moral show"
o. L. But last spring, when de-
nouncing John Robinson's, you said
that they were all alike Immoral,
base, catchpenny concerns that ought
not to be tolerated"
Bro. S. True enough, but that ap-
plies to that old blasphemer's show,
who didn't advertise in the Gazette.
o. L. Was Barnum's different
from the others?
Bro. S. O yes; the employees are
all Christian gentlemen. The can
vas-men are members of the Young
Mems Christian Commission, the
actors are theological students out
for a summer recreation, and tie
ring master. clown, &c. are preach
ers, just now without a pulpit. The
animals, too, are highly moral-they
don't roar on Sunday at all. The
monkeys have Sunday School and
the parrots say the Catechism. 1t is
as dangerous to say bad word in
the presence of the elephant as it is
to give him chew of tobacco. Even
tho fountain and the automatic refuse
to play on Sunday. 1t would have
done your heart good to have seen
the wagon-drivers and the canvas
men lying around after the show
commenced, reading their Bibles.
In fact, parents all over the country
are anxious to have their sons travel
with Barnum's show, just for the
sake of the religious influence.
o. L. How about the scantily
clothed actors and actresses?
Bro. S. Let me tell you. They
wear tights of doubly thick cloth.
The lady that rides the horse wears
skirts a full half inch longer than
they do in Old John Robinson's i'm
moral show. Then again, she sticks
her leg out at an angle of at least
half a degree less than Robinson's
girls do. In fact Barnum only has
women in his show because they ex-
ert such moral influence.
o. L. How about the clowns
songs and jokes?
Bro. S. All of the most moral,
elevating character. No unprejudiced
person could hear them without
having his spiritual strength re-
newed.
o. L.. Then there is nothing in
the fact that Barnum advertised in
the Gazette, and Robinson didn't, to
influence your opinion as to the NOR
ality of the two shows?
Bro. S. Nothing at all. That's q
base Republican lie-one of those
things the "truly good" have to put
up with.
o. L. To change the subject
What do you think of Sam Cary?
Bro. S. Walk over to the Gazette
office and I'll give you an account of
Sam morality even more telling than
/ have of Barnums show. It won't
require any greater strain of the
conscience.
So, Bro. S. and o. L. strayed
away to the Office, and we are left to
conjecture the graphic description
Bro. S. gave of Sans consistency
and goodness. DOZER.

If the Catholic Church Goes
into Politics it will be
Treated as a Politician.

The Church must be content in its
worship, and the enjoyment of IT'S
own opinions. but it must be taught
to beware how it attempts to inter
fere with the proper functions of the
State. If it seeks to become a polit-
ical party, it must expect to be treat
ed as q partisan, and any political
party which is willing to use the sect
arian zeal OF a particular church to
promote its political power, becomes
Justly obnoxious to the suspicion of
all the other churches, if not their
opposition. The Democratic party
at the present lies under that impu-
tation. If that party and the Catho-
lie church have conspired to acquire
and share political power, they can
not complain that other parties and
other sects are becoming jealous of
their rights Judge Taft.

ALI Diseases of the Blood.

If vEGETINE will relieve pain, cleanse, purify
and cure such diseases, restoring the patient TO
perfect health after trying different physicians,
many remedies, suffering for years, is it not con-
cured? Why is this medicine performing such
cures? 1t works in the blood, in the circulating
fluid 1t can truly be called the Great Blood PUri
fer The great source of disease originates in the
blood; and no medicine that does not act directly
upon it, purify and renOvate, has any just claim
upon public attention.

Dear Sir-I have had considerable experience
with the VEGETINE. For dyspepsia, general deb-

anything which I have ever used. l commenced
taking VEGETINE about the middle of last winter,
and, after using few bottles, it entirely cured me
of dyspepsia, and my blood never was in so good
condition at the present time. IL will afford me
pleasure TO give any further particulars relative to
what know about this good medicine to any one
who will call address me at my residence, $50

Thurman on cary--A Re-
ported Conversation A
Denial, and an Affidavit.

We copy on our second page, a
letter from a correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader, which will be found
to contain ''some mighty interesting
reading" as showing what Senator
Thurman really thinks of the polisi-
cal situation in Ohio, the meddling of
the Catholic priesthood on the School
question, Sam Cary and his dema-
goguery, &c. &c.
On the appearance of this letter
in the Cincinnati papers, MIR. Cook
hastened to put in q quasi denial by
publishing a statement over his sig
nature to the effect that no such con-
yersation hal taken place between
Thurman and himself. This denial
only tended to confirm the impress
sion that the correspondent had va
ried but little from the truth in his
report of the conversation. Senator
Thurman, also, sent the following
telegram to the Leader:
'sPUT N-BAY, August 19.
editor Cleveland Leader:
'The letter signed Visitor, in
this mornings Leader, is tissue of
falsehoods. Please publish this tele-
gram. A. G. THURMAN.
This the Leader published as
promptly, accompanying it with the
affidavit of its correspond
ent, whom it vouches for as a man
of uDquestionable integrity:

itor, published in the Cleveland
Leader under date of Augut Is, 1875,
narrating a conversation between
Mr. Cook. of Cincinnati, and Senator
Thurman, at Putin Bay, on Sunday

Leader the following card:
CLEVELAND, o., August 49,
'"To the Editor of the Leader:
''In reply to the telegram of Sen
ator Thurman, which you have
shown me, saying that my statement
of his conversation with Mr.. Cook,
of Cincinnati, published in the Lead
er of Wednesday last, is tissue of
falsehoods, I will say that on the
forenoon of last Sunday when the
conversation took place, I was seat
ed on the lawn in front of the Put
in Bay House, reading newspaper,
and while so doing Mr.. Thurman
and Mr.. Cook came and seated them
selves about four feet from me-
They carried on their conversation
openly and unreservedly. Knowing
the eminence of Senator Thurman as
statesman and politician, it was
natural that 1 should listen to lns
remarks, especially so as he almost
forced me to hear him or leave my
seat. I am no politician, and L
wrote out the report of his converse
ton merely from the sense of duty l
owe to the people of Ohio, whose ser
want Senator Thurman is, for l hold
that they are entitled to know his
real views on the political questions
of the day, and qualifications and fit
ness of the candidates running for
office in the gift of the people. 1t
is natural for Senator Thurman to
dislike to be placed in an equivocal
position before the people, and there
fore he has strong motives for uttering
falsehood by saying that my state
ment of his conversation is tissue
of falsehoods.' Therefore all l can
say is, that 1 fully and solemnly re-
affirm the report contained in my
letter have no personal motive
whatever to manufacture or distort
the report of the conversation, as
charged by Senator Thurman in his
telegram, while he has great motive
to deny the truth of that report.

WASHINGTON COUNTY ITEMS.

From the Review and Examiner.
Miss JENNIE BIRCH, daughter Of John
Birch, Esq, of Claysville, fell off her ia.
Tiers front steps on Friday last and
broke her left arm below the elbow and
dislocated the wrist joint.
S. II. Cook, of Mcdonald, this county,
WAS awarded premiums amounting to
SAB. intending several first prizes, at the
recent poultry exhibition in Pittsburgh.
He exhibited turkey weighing forty
pounds.
A FEW nights ago some one, not hay
ing the fear Of local option before his
vision, bored through the weatherboard-
inc of the bonded warehouse Mt Lone
Pine, and tapped full barrel of whisky,
extracting all but about six gallons. This
is the third time the same game has been
played at tie same place.
OK Monday, Mr.. John Birch of Clays-
Vile was nominated by the Democratic
County Convention of Washington
county, for the Legislature, to fill the
vacancy made by the death Of Judge
Farrer, Republican. Al the same time
Hon. Finley Patterson was selected rs
Senatorial Delegate to the next State
Convention, and Freeman Brady, Thos.

Delegates.
The OLD SToRY.-It really seems that
numerous exposures published from
time to time in regard to patent-right
swindlers fail to put our people, particu-
larry farmers, on their guard. On the
10Th of September last, Il chap calling
himself Frank b. Gates obtained from
Samuel CAN'T, Of Amwell township, u
promissory note for $50 far certain wind
mill territory alleged to be held by him.
Gates (who it was subsequently ascer-
| tanned PASSED under several aliases, ono
being Frank Blinn) very shortly after
ward had the note discounted at the
| Washington Savings Bank. On being
notified of this, CAN'T made satisfactory
arrangements for payment, and at the
same time became convinced that he had
| been made the subject of II huge Swindlc.
! He ut once made efforts TO overhaul Gate,
and notwithstanding traces were obtain
! ed of him in the State of Ohio, and that
these traces were vigorously followed
up by John II. Little, of the Fulton
House (who proiI"rcd assistance to
Gantz), no reliable information was
obtained until Monday last, when Mr..
Little received dispatch from Waynes-
burg to the effect that man answering
the description was then in that place.
Mr. Little at once repaired there and
found his man, who was taken into Gus
tody and brought here the next day. He
waived hearing and was committed to
Jail by Justice Donehoo to await trial for
false pretense. The rcsule will be await
cd with interest.
