Who is Ers, Wiuslow?

AS this QUESTION is frequently asked.
we will simply say that she is a lady
who for upwards of thirty years has
untiring devoted her time and talents
as a female Physician and nurse,
principally among children. She has
especially studied the constitution and
wants of this numerous class, and. as
result of this effort. and practical
knowledge, of obtained in a lifetime
spent as nurse and physician, she has
compounded a Soothing Syrup. for
children teething. 1t operates like
magic-giving rest and health, and is
moreover, sure to regulate to bowels.
In consequence of this article. Mrs.
Winslow is becoming world-reuown-
ed as a benefactor Of her race; children
certainly do rise up and bless her;
especially is this the case in this city.
Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup
are daily sold and used here. We
think Mrs. Winslow has immortaIized
her name name by this invaluable
article, aud we sincerely believe thou
sands of children have been saved from
an carry grave by its timely use, and
that millions yet unborn will share its
benefits, and unite in calling her bless
ed. No me ther has discharged her
duty to her suffering little ones, in our
opinion. until she has given it the
benefit of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing
Syrup. Try it, mothers-try them
now.-LGdies' Visitor, New York City.

The Galley Slave.

This celebrated play will be given at
Harper's Theatre tomorrow. Thursday
evening with caste such as is seldom seen
outside Of large cities. The play is writ
ten by BARLEY Campbell and is reflex of
American society abroad. The Neao YORK;
Herald, speaking of the play says:
The Galley Slave is one of the best
works of its kind. 1t is evolved with skill,
the hand of the experienced dramatist
being recognized in its construction. 1t is
strong. well sustained. of an original turn,
marked by many exoellences. and tuned
by numerous beauties of sthought and
much fine language. The treatment of the
play is Intelligent and there are introduced
features that reflect credit upon the genius
of the author. Now, while it is true that
the rosy hue of poetry is cast upon the
story and characters of tho play; Mr..
Campbell has introduced natural touches
that furnish forth mildly the element of
realism"

There is Fun Ahead,

The Union seems to think that it is
merely necessary for Republican to an
pounce himself a candidate, secure the
nomination. and election follows as mat
ter of course. Then, once 10 Office, all
that Is necessary to announce q
desire to continue and it is granted.
This is the natural inference from the
tone of the Union this morning, indeed it
seems to the peculiar delusion of Repub-
lican office holder that he holds Office by
divine right. and that when he is tired of
the place, he is alone the one to say who
shall be his successor. 1t is a sort of
hereditary affair, this Office holding, ac-
aording to Republican party ideas, and
when the general grand bounce does
come, there will be some tall growing.
We said yesterday. that there will be a
sharp contest over some of the offices, in
the republican convention" and we re-
peat it, and know whereof WI speak. toe

The rejection of that old Republican
s.war horse" John ". Green, as delegate
to the state convention. because he had
been guilty of that objectionable offense,
voting for a Democrat for a local Office.
has created breach in the Republican
party Of Scott county. which it will be
hard to heal The Davenport Democrat
says of the matter, that the unexpected
and violent action of the Republican con-
vention on Saturday in ruling Hon. John
w. Green out of the delegation to the
state convention, if not out of the party.
caused considerable excitement in politi-
cal circles --and there was great demand
for gSunday's Democrat which spublished
the only full report of the proceedings
The opinions were as various as are the
rings in the party. Many thought it
ought not to have been done-that Mr.
Myton's motion ought to have been made
to include several men in the convention
whe were backing him. who have split
their Republican tickets time and again
and worked for Democrats, Had this
been done with explanations there would
have been squirming among that crowd
which would have killed the resolution in
its struggles. Some'of the chaps who would
vote for the old Nick himself on the Re =
publican ticket and against the highest
archangel on the Democratic ticket, are
loud in asserting that the cenven-
ton served Mr.. Green just right.
Others believe that vote of Gen.
sure ought to have been passed on Mr..
Green, but that his services were worth y
of some remembrance. Half an hour
after the thing had been done, a vote of
reconsideration would have passed almost
unanimousIy-some of the riugeaders
were sorry for the act, and SO expressed
themselves; because it reached too far,
betrayed too much personal spite-in fact

said. Mr.. Henry was defeated by these
very men; Democrats were hired to work
for the Republican candidate for city
treasurer, aud they just roped in all the
votes they could for Rose while working
for Melchert-of course they did. Don't
you see, almost 400 Republican split tick
cts in the First ward alonel There wasn't
Democrat who worked against Priester
but who worked for Rose. As for Mr..
Green he takes the matter very coolly-
as though nothing had happened, He
says the boys got it on him sure, and he
has 30 complaint to make. But he denies
that he deserved it, aod-its long lane
