Two Noted Grave Robbers.

Our readers will remember the account
given in these columns of the robbing of
the grave of the Hon. Scott Harrison, in
Ohio, last May, the body being found in
the dissecting-room of the Ohio Medical
College Public indignation justly brands
any man as seoundrel who will rob the
grave of the dead. But there are two
noted grave robbers in the country, SO far
from being the subjects of the peoples
wrath, are universally lauded for their
virtues. The reason is plain. While the
former class steal the dead bodies of our
loved ones to submit them to the dissecting
knife, these only rob the graves to restore
the living victims to our hearts and homes.
Their names-Dr. Pierce Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pel-
Iets--are household words the world over.
The Golden Medical Discovery cures con-
sumption. in its early stages, aud all bronr
chial. throat. and lung affections; Pleasant
Purgative Pellets are the most valuable
laxative and cathartic.

The temperance of the Lingards in
our city after an absence of four years
is an event 10 our dramatic apnaIs of 10
little Importance. Since visiting as last
they have made complete tour of the
world, and met with the most unqualified
success wherever they have appeared.
The company as usual consists of the
three star attractions, Alice Dunning, VIM,
Horace and Dickie Lingar4, supported by
an exceptionally strong comedy company.
The bill as advertised to be produced here
at Darts Hall on Thursday evening is u
charming one act comedy His Own Enc
my" the world famous "Linrard Sketches
and d. Dalzlel's latest success, the i'm
mensely funny comedy "Ju Jubes." OF
the latter piece we quote the following ex-
tremely complimentary notice from the
Milwaukee Sentinel of October Goth:
The production of Mr.. d. Dalziel's new
comedy "Ju Jubes" at the Grand Opera
House last evening was the occasion for
one OF the most extraordinary demopstra-
tons of public favor we have ever seen
snowered on piece of its description.
From the time the curtain rose until the
close of the performance, the audience
were in one continuous roar of laughter
and vociferously gave both performers and
the piece rousing call at the end of each
act. It's safe to say that "Ju Jubes" is
one of the funniest pieces on the American
stage to-day and will not only make a
name for It's author but also money for
those who play il William Horace was
as usual extremely funny as Drinks whilst
Alice and Dickie Lingard both fairly cap
tivated their audience. The charms of
both arc well known to all"
With such recommendation for the
piece the Lingards will produce and with
what we already know ourselves of their
talents, there is very little doubt but what
Darts Hall will be filled to overlooking on
Thursday evening.

Fannie Davenport.s Black Eye

Last summer Fannie Davenport brought
home from California, among other tro-
plies, very handsome century plant.
This rare exotic she attended with all the
lavish care she expends upon all numerous
pets. One afternoon, Just before prepar-
ing for the theatre, in the early part of the
present season, she was watering her plant
and examining its buds-for it had just
begun to put forth its centennial blossoms
when by an accident, her right eye came
in violent collision with it. The blow was
sudden and sharp, and the luckless beauty
had, within five minutes, to lament the
possession of bad black eye. Her file
de chdna6re happened TO have applied
once before, to bruise ON her arm, some
of Giles Liniment Iodide Ammonia,
which is said to be specific for all such
unsightly Commissions. The second applica-
ton removed the sweIling and discoloration
in half an hour. Fannie Davenport is
therefore, one of DR.. Giles warmest adj
mirers.

VINO rs ANDREW II. DILL?

Such is the innocent inquiry made
by a very "loyal" editor, who is an
swered by cotemporary in this wsy ::
mot having the good fortune to in
herit dollars and property from most
worthy father, raised in poverty and
having to look to his own efforts for
success, Andrew II. Dill is by inhrii.
tancc, instinct and education the friend
of those who like himself have to but.
iet the world for a livelihood and earn
their daily bread by hard work.
Though his district always contained
considerable Republican majority,
the people thereof always elected him
whenever opportunity offered, They
watched his course, they studied his
record, they keenly scanned his whole
conduct; bis political opponents cha
grinned by repeated defeat in their
stronghold, criticised his every act
with the utmost desire to find fault
and thus cripple or destroy him; yet
such was the rectitudc of his conduct
and his faithfulness TO their interests,
that those hardy sons OF toll (thongh
politically opposed) four times elected
Andrew IL. Dill TO the Legislature
from Republican districts. There he
was ever the friend and champion OF
popular rights and the best interests
OF the people, the rank and file, the
farmers, mechanics and laboring men
who elected him.
Our limits do not permit US to refer
to bis votes in detail, but If they had
not been of the unexceptional charac-
ter and most thoroughly in the interest
of the working people, Republican
counties and districts would not have
repeatedly elected him to represent
them. That is the most positive proof
Of the purity and fidelity Of his official
life, the propricty Of his votes, and the
patriotism of bis purposes. Such en-
dorsements, under such circumstances,
are at once convincing and overwhclm.
ing evidence Of great competency and
unquestionable integrity. From the
time he passed the threshold to the
maturity of middle age, Andrew II.
Dill has been prominent in the public
view Of his constituents, and it is
therefore proud thing to say that no
blemish rests upon his character, pub
lie or private. Always acting in pub.
lie, and for the public, neither his
neighbors or others could be mistaken
in his character, and those neighbors
at all times and under all circumstan-
ccs endorsed him. Such is Andrew II.
