Donn Piatt expected to make hit
with his new play, and we should, there
fore, advise Mr. McGarrahan to look out.
Dom has not forgotten the pounding the
latter once gave him.

Thurman is in training as one of the
pall-bearers in Ohio, and Hendricks will
60 over and get his hat craped the com
ing week, preparatory to the funeral in
October. As Gen. Gary would say, My
eountrymen, it is "a Sad OCCASION
General Ewing, IN Ohio, has been try
fng to answer John Sherman's speeches,
and it does rot make his friends bit
proud. The fact is, the farther General
Ewing keeps from John Sherman's fences
the less will be the wear and tear of his
trousers. If he goes to tearing around or
teetering even on the loose boards, there
are parts of his rigging which will require
reinforcement of leather long before the
October funeral.
Chicago Times
The President was just trife late with
his sobriquet for Cincinnati. On the
morning of the day he made his Central
City" speech the Commercial said: "Ohio
Is the most representative State-that is
to say, she is the truest average type
of our nationality-Cincinnati is the
Central City, and we claim with stout
assurance that the imposing Inauguration
OF our Exposition may be marked as an
Illustration and celebration of the open
ing of a long career of prosperity i'll this
country more splendid than the most
sanguine have believed"
Senator Thurman is panied by the re-
Election that calico Charley" is not a
damned barren idealty.
Mr.. Hayes found the Cincinnati pump
kins very lovely and satisfactory.
Chicago Daily News
One thing Is certain-Prcsident Hayes
can not, or, rather does not, make speech
that can waken enthusiasm. His re-
marks at the Cincinnati Exposition were
decidedly lileless, a mere recital of linked
platitudeS of Shermanic origin. As the
Rfesdent Is expected To address the peo-
pie at various fairs this fall he can give
spirit to his remarks by employing some
discreet man to kick his the (President's)
corns and bunyons at certain prearranged
points in his discourse.
New York Times
The late Cincinnati merchant. John
Ehillito. (the uncommon name has for
eign sound, though it is English, and
often written Shillitoe, the British
Quaker philanthropist,) had been the
heading dry goods dealer there for more
than 40 years, and in all that time, it is
said, had never failed, suspended, com
promised, or asked to compromise with
his creditors. He always paid dollar for
dollar, always did business on strict bust
ness principles, and was almost the only
merchant in the city who had so long
weathered the financial storms and stress
Of very trying period. Merely
to reason about it, it would not
seem remarkable that a merchant
should, for 40 years, carry on business
with uniform success. But facts and sta
tistcs show that such instances are ex-
tremely rare in any part Of this country.
Few business men in the United States
20 on, it is said, for Is or even II years
without failure or suspension; these, on
an average, get into serious pecuniary
embarraSsments every 10 years, most Of
them being hopelessly crippled thereby.
One might easily count, We suspect, all
the merchants, even in this great city,
who hold together 40 years, half that
time being sufficient here to give firm
the reputation Of age andextcnded credit.
John Shillito attributed his unusual
prosperity to dealing in cash wherever it
was practicable, and to giving personal
oversight and attention to his affairs.
Unless out OF town, he spent certain
number OF hours every day at his estab-
lishment.

Hon. James Emmitt, prominent dis
filler and Democrat in Pike County,
Ohio, has come ont for Foster and the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Emmitt has been
vainly trying to buy his way into Con-
gress on a Democratic ticket for some
years and it is quite likely that his dis
appointments have affected his intellect.

General Sherman paid high compi-
ment to Cincinnati in his speech on
Change in that city Thursday Said he:
"I have never seen more beautiful view
than that from Mr. Shoenberger's front
yard looking up the Mill Greek Valley

Of the Queen City are catalogued, promi-

Moses, we may not be permitted to enter
there.
The Enquirer says "the lesson Maine
teaches is that Ewing will be elected in
Ohio" Mark big one against Johnny
Mclean for not having his lesson cor
