/, John Hannas, being a blacksmith by trade,
had often felt the want of some means whereby

me to make many experiments with different
substances which offered the best prospects of
success. 1t was on one of these occasions that
l discovered the wonderful effects of Electro

bottle of Electro Silicon Liniment, and told
him to use it thoroughly. lie did so, and at the

Cooks Lecture.

To the Editor of the Standard
In last weeks Standard we were some
what interested in reading the lecture of
one Joseph Cook, in the great city Of
Boston. Now, Mr. Editor, we are forced
to the conclusion that this Rev. gentle
man knows about as much about his own
propositions as "the man in the moon"
Egotism and Bigohy could find no better
man to further their views than this man
Cook.
He says, mot little discussion in our
times is trial of scholars by newspapers
and pastors, rather than of scholars by
scholars" We would ask the Rev. gen
tleman where he will find more thor
oughly scholastic class of men and women
than those of the present day that write
for the "press" throughout the world
And further, Now it is to be weighed in
the scales of the people," This is right
and before many years roll round the
people will tell this Rev. Cook that he is
one of those false prophets, and his re-
ward will surely come. The people of Bcs
ton must have fine sense of appreciation
to tell when to applaud such man. We
are led to think this part was done to
order. He rakes up the ashes of Tom
Paine, and tries to show that he is still
alive, when we come to study the matter
and find that for fifty years after Paine's
death not copy of his work was pub
lished, while now some fifty different
publishing houses are printing his writ
ings, we are forced to believe that Paine
still lives, and as we are certain the peo-
pie are growing wiser each year, we are
forced to admit that there is true merit
in them. His attack on Ingersoll is Of
the lowest type. Every time Mr.. Moody
trims his thumb nail he cuts off two IL
gersolls." A man who attemps to teach
the truth and makes such statements as
these, is the man Boston loves to applaud
He says This style of attack is not an
noying to scholars" We rather think
somebody has tramped on his corn
patch" and it is amusing how nicely he
obviated the necessity of telling the truth
when he took that little question from
the hat, your opinion is ours" That
was sweet morsel for the bigots of the
hub" He knows too much about the
opinions of the people in the west to tell
the people in the east, man that will
wilfully make the statements Mr. Cook
has done, to please the people of Boston,
will do much more when he has the op-
portunity. We grew up in the west,
have mingled with the people there, and
know that they are a liberal people in
their religious views. They are reading
and thinking people, and prove all
things, and hold fast that which is good
BERT.

A Large Exhibition Coming !!

Our paper of to-days issue announces
the coming to Jackson, of Campbell 8
New York and Philadelphia Geological
and Equestrian Institute, concerning
which the Washington Republican of a
recent date says:
"For some unexplained cause this city
has always been the harvest-feld for cir
cuses and the reapers have ever found
themselves amply rewarded for ventur-
ing within the confines of the District
with their exhibitions. The spring is ad-
vancing, and with it has come the first
circus of the season. The long advertised
and much-talked-of Campbell show ar
rived in the city yesterday morning in
their own special trains, and gave very
imposing parade through the principal
streets. The pageant was not only gilt
tering, but a substantial one, made up of
some forty cages, open dens, three band
chariots herd of elephants, camels, po-
MES, &c, and attracted large crowds
along the public thoroughfares.
The splendor of the street parade
promised so much that representative
OF The Republican dropped into the pa
villons during the evening exhibition,
and found the advertised promises of the
management completely fulfilled. At
ter, who represents the management, and
ushered through the various departments
of menagerie, aquarium, circus, NC, DC.
The extensive scale upon which every
thing is carried on is wonderful. The
news gatherer was shown cook-houses
for the men, blacksmith and harness
shops, horse tents, sleeping tents-in
fact, quite community under canvas
The menagerie was particularly attract
i've, with its decorations and fountains of
real water worked by a portable steam
engine. The animals form a splendid
collection, and are in fine condition. The
next introduction was the circus, and,
comfortably ensconsed in the reserved
seats, enjoyed one of the best arenic per-
formances that ever visited this city
The grand .entree was spirited and the
riders dashingly reckless. The lady that
did the ''erial rings" drew forth consid |
cradle applause, while the pretty Rosa
Lee upon her bare back white horse elic-
tied well-deserved enthusiasm. The sew
eral acts of the performers, especially the
fearless hurdle-riding of Miss Jeal, was
very exciting and took the vast audience
by storm. The company is so large and
SO good, space precludes particularizing
in fact. during some portions of the exhi-
bition, four acts were given simultane-
ously on the ring. Everything about the
show is in the most liberal scale. and the |
of everybody most pronounc-
ed throughout the entire entertainment. |
Those fond of circus should go. Exhi- !
btions will be given afternoon and even |
ing, This exhibition came here most |
highly indorsed by the entire Richmond !
press, and will leave with its repu ia ton
still further enhanced"
