Dramatic Company, closed their two
weeks engagement with us to-day.
During their stay they gave our citi.
zens delightful renditions of The
Two Orphans, Col. Sellers, Pearl of
Savoy, Divorce, Enoch Arden, Arti-
Gle AZ, and others from their repertoire.
Miss D'Este sustained her reputation
fully among US, and her Company is a
very fine one indeed. We are sorry
however, that a combination of cir
cumstances worked against their pc.
cuniary success this visit. Political
excitement, the murder of Mr.. CARA,
the visit Of the Congressional Com
mittee, all deferred many from at.
tending their really fine exhibitions.

Professor Cox's party to the Wyan-
dotte cave, consisting of the professor,
his wife and daughter; Professor Jor-
dan, of Butler university; Professor
Bell, editor of the School Journal;
Major Smith, L. s. A; George J. Langsdale,
of the Greencastle Banner, and w. w. Wool
len and daughter, reached Levenworth, the
shire town of Crawford county, on Tuesday
night about midnight. The party went in
body to Ourbacker's hotel and remained
there until yesterday morning. BY one of
those unfortunate accidents so common to
travellers the baggage of Professor Cox con-
tanning instruments necessary for his
contemplated explorations, was left at
Louisville, so when the sun arose
next morning with the professor on his ex-
aminations, it found him, like Samson.
shorn of his locks. He was up betimes ex-
aiming the rock foundations north of the
town, but he had not his geological hammer
to lay bare their hidden mysteries nor his
barometer with which to test the attitudes
of the ground and to measure the weather.
Levenworth is a small town with frame
houses and contains some 500 inhabitants.
1t has nothing to particularly attract
the attention of the traveller. During a
short ramble through it the writer discov-
cred nothing worthy of record, except
sign, which was intended to inform pilgrims
to the Wyandotte cave-this is the Mecca of
most strangers who stop at Levenworth-
that the town has merchant. The sign is
as follows:

Hayes on His Policy.
Washington Special to the Chicago Times of
Yesterday


Yesterday
The president does not appear to be very
much concerned about the rebellion in the
republican ranks to be led by Blaine. In a
recent conversation with a friend he said
that the threats of Blaine, Ben Wade and
other extreme republicans to antagonize the
southern policy amounted to nothing. The
president said he saw no reason for uneasiness
on that score He did not see how these
gentlemen were going to give practical force
and effect to their opposition. They could
not do so by thwarting any personal plans
or prospects OF his own, because he had none
for them to thwart. They could not do it
by defeating his nominations in
the senate, because he never would
send any name to the senate in
whose confirmation he had any inter-
est beyond that inspired by his general
views as to the good of the public service.
He did not see that they could do anything
beyond denounce his policy in speeches.
Even If they could find a majority in the
senate opposed to his southern policy. the
senate could not undo what had been done
could not restore troops to the state
houses nor could it rehabilitate the govern
ments which have vanished as soon as the fed
eral troops were Withdrawn from their sup
port. To suggestion that the opposi ton
might seat kellogg as senator from Louisi-
ana, the presidents reply was that that
would be the senate's affair and not his The
senate was the judge of the qualifications of
its own members. The general tenor of the
presidents observations on the subject of
Kelloggs contest was to the effect that
he hid no personal interest in the
matter, and did not see how
the seating of kellogg could dis
turb the even tenor of his administrative
policy. 1t could not, at worst, be regarded
as reversal of any decision of his as to who
was the legal governor or which the rightful
government in Louisiana because he had
done nothing but withdraw federal interior
ence, leaving the government of the state to
adjust itself according to the ruling senti-
ment of its people.

SECRETARY SHERMAN, in a recent inter-
view, alluded to the radical party as having
"all the elements of reform in it, and good
principles, and general good conduct" We
wonder if he had in his minds eye that
brilliant tableau in New Orleans last fall,
of which he was a spectator, viz: the return
ing board caught in the act of manipulating
the returns of Vernon parish. He for one
brief moment-but only for moment-is

THERE seems to be some misunderstanding
in the "white house." Whether to run it
on temperance principles or not is the ques-
tin at issue. About the time the temper
ance folks thought they had Mrs, Hayes well
anchored on the rocks of total abstinence
there came into the white house lot of
Cincinnati and Columbus bummers, who re-
ported afterward that they had all they
wanted in the way of drinks, and that it was
whisky straight" Others reported a sus-
picious smell of light wines around the
presidential sideboard, and now last week.
Jsirabile dictu at grand state dinner given
to the grand duke of Russia and the minis
ter plenipotentiary from that state, we find
wines and brandies flowing like water. This,
of course, is creating some little excitement,
and there is talk like this abroad among the
guild n'ncs: That in future it is wines for the
foreign ministers and Potomac river water
for home folks We feel sorry for the Gin
cinnat and Columbus radicals, who will
have their supplies cut off in future during
their visits to the Ohio pretender. They
will probably meet the crisis by taking
pocket TASKS with them, and few grains of
cloves or burnt coffee in the next pocket.

The Irishman who thought the druggist
stingy because the emetic was so small, is
only surpassed in his parsimonious drollery
by those who persistently adhere to the use
of those nauseating, disgustingly large and
drastic pills. while DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Purgative Pellets which are sugar coated
and little larger than mustard seeds, will.
by their steady and gentle action on the
liver, correct all torpidity, thus permanently
overcoming constipation. In South Amer
lea they have almost entirely superseded all
other pills, and are relied on fully by the
people, and often used as preventive of the
various affections of the stomach, liver and
bowels, so prevalent in that climate.
