are not agreeable to sensitive news
paper men.
-"Why don't the city fathers pur-
chase a steam fire engine" is a ques-
ton asked at every fire. Whenever
the Fire Department is referred to,
the above question is freely discuss
ed. And no doubt the enquirers
think that our Councilmen are too
slow. The answer generally is, that
the city can't afford the expense at
present, which is not the only answer
to the question. There is one great
obstacle existing here, that should be
removed before purchasing a steam
er, and that is, our water facilities
should be improved first; and until
this is done a steamer would be Of no
more avail than our hand engine is
now. What good could steamer do
without water at the right place?
Many people think that water can be
had any place along the whole length
of the river, and that the engine can
be dumped down any where along
the steep banks into the river, an
idea that is totally impracticable.
There are but two places along the
river where the engine can take wa
ter, and in case of fire near them
these are not available. Then we
have but four cisterns left to resort
to, which do not protect one fourth
of the city. LaPorte street is entire
ly without water supply, except be-
hind the Post Office, and if that build
ing should take fire land it has the
worst fiues of any house in the city,,
no water could be had that could be
made available, and yet the river
runs by it's foundation. Walnut
street has no cistern from end to end.
Our beautiful Seminary and all the
buildings around it are unprotected.
SO also are many other important
parts of the city. Now, what good
would a steamer do that cannot be
accomplished with our hand engine?
We say none, and until the water
supply is increased, it would be
throwing money away to buy a steam
fire engine.

whose hand is ever suddenly jerking

POROUS PLASTERS.
Of Public Interest.

For thirty years there has been no improve
ment in the composition OF o porous plaster
The recent discovery of Capcine and its addi-
ton to our improved porous plaster has intro
duced to the consumers and the public an ar
ticle OF progress and marked Improvement.
The objection to the ordinary article is its
slow action. BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS
PLASTER overcomes this great objection by
effecting in q few hours that which the ordtna-
ry porous plaster accomplishes in days and
weeks of continuous wear.
BENS0N'S CAPCINE POROUS PLASrER6
are preferred to all others on the following
grounds
First-Their composition is of an improved
nature, and are combined with the recently
discovered vegetable principle = Capcine =
never been equaled in the history of true med
lcine. They operate with astonishing vigor,
bring almost immediate relief, and cure more
speedily and with greater certainty than any
known liniment, plaster or compound.
Second-They possess all the merit OF the Or
dinary porous plaster, with above addition,
| and will cure all the various difficulties for
which they have been esteemed in as many
| hours as the ordinary article effects In days
| and weeks of continuous wear.
| Third-They are genuine pharmaceutical
! preparation, skillfully prepared, and Of the
| highest order of merit are purely vegetable,
contain neither metal nor mineral poisons, in :
dorsed by physicians, ami are in no sense q

THE DEMOCRATIC BRETHREN in the
Kentucky Legislature do not dwell to-
gether in unity. They quarrel sublimely
over the Senatorial nomination. They
charge bribery and corruption. They
necede from the caucus. They affirm
profanely that they will not vote for the
'cauous nominee. And all such little
amiabilities are flung around miscellane-
ously. But amidst it all Mr.. Beck is
nominated in caucus, and will doubtless
be elected to the Senate.
