The LOuisyille--t,rant Boom.

There j. great rivalry in Louisville be-
tween parties desiring To figure i'm the
Grant reception i'm December. The J.
VI. d |. II. II. and the Cincinnati Short
Line, have each rendered special trains
and palace ears, and Grant, who refuses
nothing, has accepted both. The Louis
vile Hotel and the Gait House have
both rendered their Inequalities and
Grant, benevolent man, has accepted
both. Eli Murray got up II big commit
tee of escort, and Walter Evans got up
a little committee To do the same thing
and Grant accepted both. He will
come To the city under escort of two ri
val committees; ride on two railroads
and eat and sleep at two hotels. Thus
il seems Grant is bigger man than
F'itzhugh and can 10 what nobody elsc
can. The real fight of the Louisville
toadies will come when Grant is made
President again. We bet on Murray
he is sharper than Evans. He got May
or Baxter and the COUriei'-.JOuYlGl on
the tail of his kite, while Evans has 81
las Miller and Horace Scott with him.
When Grant is President, Eli Murray
will dispense the government patron
age i'm Kentucky. When the Empire
comes, which will of course follow, then
Eli will he Dake of Louisville, and the
Gait House will he his Ducal Palace
That Is, 'cl.ch the Empire comes.

SCANDAL HIGH LIFE.
The SpOtIess Society of hartford at
Last Itsses Under Cloud.

A. n member of society we would
scorn TO he a scandle-monger. AZ II
faithful journalist, we feel it our duty to
mearth fraud and expose vice and inn
morality, though ii be found-as is the
case in this instance-amid the very
cream of society. To only n few friends
of the unfortunate couple, is the sad
story, which will fall more like ro-
nance than fact, known; yet before
another week shall have passed, we
fear the society of Hartford will be-
shocked by Il separation rs unexpected
rs the details of its causes are disgrace
full. For the present we will refrain
from names or particulars, hoping that
something may yet he done to reconcile,
MS far as possible, the parties; and since
we have said this much, our readers
may rest assured that the facts will he
given in our next issue, no matter what
the termination may be. In the mean
time we tender our heartfelt sympa-
thies TO the relations and friends of the
unfortunate couple.

The Homestead Fertilizer.

Mr.. Y. NJ. Metcalfe, of Hopkinsville,
KY, was in town Thursday last. He is
agent for the celebrated Homestead to-
hacco, wheat and corn grower, and is
the best and most thoroughly posted
agriculturist we have heard talk in
many day. He gave short lecture
at the Court House To a small but APP
preciative audience. His remarks were
exactly TO the point. His proposition
To guarantee satisfaction where the
Homestead Grower was used according
to directions. or have his agent refund
the money paid for it, is certainly II
very fair one. This Fertilizer can he
used cheaper than stable-manure can
be hauled out on the land. Ii il made
expressly with a view 10 meet the wants
of the soil, and has the special mineral
elements in it properly combined, which
tobacco, wheat and corn draw from the
soil. Mr.. j. p. Barnard is the agent for
this county, and will probably have the
assistance of Mr.. Harder B. Taylor in
introducing it to the farmers of Ohio
county.

Editor Heruld:
SIR-At our next general election, the
good people of the Fifth Judicial Dis
trict will have to elect IA Judge for our
district. This district embraces the
following counties: Hardin, Meade,
Breckinridge, Hancock, Grayson, Ohio
and Davies, and the time necessarily
occupies almost the whole time Of the
Judge. Perhaps out of the fifty two
weeks of the year there are not over
ten of those weeks that he can possibly
call his own. To transact the business
OF this district properly, we necessarily
must have lively mind, Il wide-a-wake
and laborious Judge.
As the Democratic party Of the coun-
try are committed TO the policy of "op-
position TO a third term" we presume
the party will have an inclination to
put i'm n new man.

fence of twenty years at the bar, 9

With all these qualifications, there cal

elect him to il.
They can rest assured that their con
fidence will not he misplaced by plac

A RIG DRINK.

OF course we do not insinuatc that
the readers of this paper ever get drunk
but people sometimes do, you know,
and then, the next day-early in the
morning somebody feels like he had
IA big head and a full stomach" and
he don't care to say anything about il
either. Oh how that head does ache,
and how dry. Some are sick-oh, 81
sick, and vomit, too, mot cologne either
and become so hot about the stomach.
More water and better water, they cry
There is an infillible remedy for all
such cases. 1t cOols the stomach, quen-

concluded to write some more, why did
you not come out i'm card against the
editor of the Ne,cs for acting in such
bad faith. There was good room To say
something and make point. BY your
own proof, you show that your brother
in-law, George Sowders, started the re-
port about your rule of school which
YOU say il false. Why did you not
come out in card, and give George
particular fits? What enmity malice
or i'll will have you toward me? | am
not conscious of ever having wronged
you in any manner shape or form. |
adhere to all said in my card of OctO-
Der 10Th, and reiterate that It's true.
Prof. Hooker has made much ado about
nothing. If he had pursued a common
sense course, he would have written
II short card explaining what his rule
of school was, and why il was adopted,
and corrected the false report i'm circu-
lation He would thus have stood i'm II
much better attitude to-day. We make
educational matters and the manner
of conducting schools, special feature
of this paper. a teacher is acting i'm u
semi-oflicial capacity, and the public
generally, are interested i'm the manner
in which schools are conducted. In
commenting upon the management Of
schools approving one rule, criticising
another, &c., we mean nothing personal
in publishing our own views or those of
our correspondents. Ii seems to me
that Mr.. Hooker got unnecessarily an
CRY over being criticised, and plunged
into controversy, at every turn of
which, he gets more and more en-
tangled. His course in this matter re-
minds me of little boy of this county
who is now an old grey-headed man.
He wanted to go visiting with his sister
Poll, and she would not let him go.
After crying for awhile he dried his
tears, anu came in to his mother and
very earnestly asked "mother is it any
harm to say mill-,lam?' "Why, no
child" as it any harm to say hall
fhX?' "No son, why do you ask ~
"'Cause, mill-dam Polly's soul to Hal
flax" Now we have askedthe preach
or if it was any harm to Beaver Dam.
He says not. Then | say that Mr..
Rockers course in getting angry, and
his attack upon me can very arpropri-
ately be styled II lot of Beaver Dam
foolishncss, and with this | dismiss
the whole matter for good, rs it il void
of sufficient interest to continue longer.

MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS

At one time encountered much trouble
in her public affairs which became quite
serious. 1t appears that her Royal
Highness was attacked with spell of
chills, which baffied the physicians of
the Queen causing so long a delay that
she was accused of negligence. A grand
consultation of the physicians was held,
much scientific research resorted to,and
combination agreed upon which
proved COndelJm in curing the Queen
at once and permanently. With n
slight variation, as an improvement, re-
lieving the compound of all objection
able features, and the addition of others
directed to the stomach and liver, Days
Ague Tonic is composed of the same
articles. Ii never fails to cure prompt
ly and permanently the very worst
forms of chills and fever. As 2times.

Science has accomplished no more

perfection of an antidote to the chilling
