ssNothing but Compound Oxygen Saved Me-"
compound Oxygen has certainly done
wonders in my case, - writes a gentleman
from Eufaula, Indian Territory. "Before
[ commenced taking the Oxygen l had
taken in the way of medicine about every
thing that was recommended for consump-
ton to no effect. I had been sick in bed
for about thirty-eight months in all, and
in less than three months from the time l
began taking the Oxygen | was up and
getting about. Had been given up by the
doctors to die time and again; but | still
live, and believe that nothing else but
Compound Oxygen saved me-" A letter
received five months later from brother
of this gentleman, says: "Your Compound

formed such a miraculous cure-for we

concluded to test it myself" A Treaties

How like the mischief girl must look

Grand Reception.

The gallant and heroic four-tenths of delegates
from Kansas, (equal to one and six-tenths or
binary men, who sacrificed themselves so glori-
ously by voting for Grant to the bitter end, had
grand reception at Topeka, on their return from
Chicago. There was never anything equal to it,
since the reception of the Grand Duke Alexis,
eight or nine years ago. On their arrival at the
A., 7. & S. +. Depot, they were met by the peo-
pie, and escorted up town in the following or
der:
Sam. Radges, mounted on a mule.
An open barouche, containing the delegates
Tom Anderson, Jake Steele, Judge Sears,
and Mr.. Day.
Joe Wilson and Jim Merritt in n buggy.
THE PEOPLE in procession on foot, consisting
of +. P. Baker, n. r. Baker, C. c. Baker, and
L n, Baker.
The procession moved up Fourth Avenue to
Kansas Avenue, thence up Kansas Avanue to the
turning-off place to the Commonwealth office,
ylrhere the procession halted. Monsieur Boul-
enger, of Paris made q short reception speech,
when, after the singing of 'Carve dat Possum,"
by Tom Anderson, the guests alighted, entered
the Office, and subscribed for extra copies Of the
ConnorWealh containing puffs of themselves
In the evening, a very select and private meet
ing of coincidence was held, after which, the
Commonwealth Office was brilliantly Illuminated,
in the press-room and over the eompositors' cases
and the imposing-stone.
The apportionment of the Federal Offices of the
State, under the next Administration, which had
been drawn up just before the meeting Of the
Chicago Convention, was reconsidered, on this
occasion, and expunged.

Rejoicing Over Grants Defeat.

The ConcordiI Empire, an advocate Of the
'hog it all' third-term policy, says:
Sol Miller went crazy last week. He faked up all
the patriotic cuts in his Office and printed them in
the Chief; besides which he get of about n hundred
more or less brief biting items just 10 indicate
that he hated Grant like poison and it nearly kills
him with joy to see the old General defeated The
Chief aches worse with joy than any one else does
with grief Sol can't be happy mt all, IN faet Its q
sad spectecle.-Conoordia Empire.
The Chief rejoiced over all of Grants successes
in the war, and supported him and rejoiced over
his successes twice as a candidate for President
but after having got all he deserved, and the
highest reward the most hOnored American ever
received, we thought it was time to let somebody
else have chance, and do rejoice over the defeat
of a scheme of which he was placed at the head,
that would have established dangerous prece-
dent. 1t was not Grants doings that he became
n candidate, but after he was once on the track,
1T is folly to say that he was not eager for the
Office again. Those who made him q candidate,
would have controlled him for their own selfish
purposes, and those purposes were not the good
of the country. The Grant crowd, then, all in
all, was the most unscrupulous, oyerbearing
eonscienceless set of shysters, demagogues and
hangers-on that ever enlisted in a raid for pill
lage. There was no means too dishonest, low
flung and contemplate for them to resort to, to
secure delegates. They had no respect for the
rights and feelings of men who favored other
candidates. They trusted to Grants bull-head
luck to win, and kept up the yelp that he was
going to win. Had they succeeded, they would
have ridden rough-shod over their opponents,
and the Grant rabble would have plundered the
Government for the next four years; for the mot
ley mob knew their leader to be one who always
rewarded his friends by giving them free access
to the public crib. But the Republican party
was stronger than the bowling gang, and gave
them lesson that will last them q lifetime
Blaine was our choice, and would be our choice
to-day, il we had our viii; but it could not
be, and as Garfield is a good man, whom we can
support with all our heart, we rejoice with ex-
ceeding great joy. If that constitutes craziness,
bring ON your Iunatic asylum.

~ C. W. johnson, Esq, Of Hiawatha, pub
fishes in the Dispatch a review of the weather
for the past twenty years, the memoranda for
which he obtained from the files of the Chief, and
which he could have obtained nowhere else. The
truth is, the country couldn't get along without
the Chief And another thing: weather items
in a newspaper are not so useless and insignif-
cant, after all. Years ago, friend said to us !:
"Why do you stick in these items about the
weather, almost every weeki Everybody iu
Kansas knows what the weather is, the same as
you do, and it is of no use to take up space in
your paper with it." Now he can see what use
it was. Even he could not give a reliable snm-
mary of the weather for the last twenty years, if
he were applied to for it,

II The Democracy are terrifcally down upon
submitting political questions to partisan Courts
except when they have control of the Courts.
The Democratic Legislature of Indiana submit
ted certain amendments to the State Constitu-
tion to the voters of the State at the late Spring
elections. One Of these was to abolish the octo-
Der elections, and TO prnxiae for holding the
State elections in November. The amendments
were adopted; but it was at once discovered
that it would seriously interfere with the time
honored Democratic frauds and other evil prac-
tices. Thereupon, the question was submitted
to the Democratic Supreme Court of the State,
which has decided that the amendments, al
though carried by large majority, were not
adopted, because all the voters in the State did
not go to the polls!-in other words, because the
amendments did not receive a majority of all the
voters in the State. Under this decision, it will
be practically impossible to amend the State
Constitution of Indiana.

WILL He SURVIVE IT f-SOme of those fellows
who have Grant on the brain, are already pre-
dieting that he will be the Republican nominee
in 1884. The chances are that Grant will be
dead before 1884. The terrible but just rebuke
administered to him by the Republican party,
has humiliated him exceedingly, although, by
his stolid mien, he manages to conceal it, and
will continue to do so, during the excitement
attending upon his unfulflled "booms," that he
planned before the Convention met. When these
are over, and he sits down to quietly contem-
plate that pomp and glory and power for him
are things of the past, the effect will begin to
tell upon him, and he will wither under it. It
is foolish to say that he is not keenly disap-
pointed at his ignominious failure to dishonor the
traditions that have come down from the very
foundation of the Government. He staked
everything upon it, and has reaped dishonor
He realizes it, and it will tell upon him in time
