Cinctnndtt enquirer.
The hospitality and generosity of Kentuc-
kians are proverbial, and our experience last
week fully illustrated this as we paid flying
! visit to the Falls City on Il report0rial expedi-
| ton. Leaving Cincinnati on the palatial
| steamer United States, we arrived in the me
tropolis of Kentucky early in the morning
A short drive from the boat to the hotel, sup
plemented by good break fast, prepared us to
take in the beauties of the place and test the
sociability and hospitality of the inhabitants
of this justly celebrated social center of the
west and south, and we were not long in COM
! ing to the conclusion that one would search in
vain for fairer women, Drawer men, or more
| refined society than that which greets him in
this beautiful city
The city itself is a picture, with its broad
avenues leading out through long vstas of
magnificent shade trees fronting residences
that bespeal the wealth and refined taste of
the owners, to the beautiful country beyond
| the city. The broad business streets along
/ The river, filled from daylight to dark with
| the busy throng of men intent upon the in
terests of trade; her wharfs crowded with
steamers from all points in this western river
navigation, unloading coal from Pittsburg,
cotton from Louisiana, cattle from Texas, and
all the various products of the south, of which
Louisville is the distributing point to the
east, west, and north.
And what is more delightful and dangerous
to susceptible masculine heart than her
beautiful promenades where, in the afternoon
of any pleasant day one may enjoy vision
(rather a reality of beauty such as no fol-
lower of Mohammed ever dreamed of in his
highest conception of Mohammeds paradise
We saw sights of more interest, if possible
than the beauties of which we have spoken
Our first call was upon Mr.. Haldeman, of the
Courier-Journdl. We expected to find him
| gal in all on
only willing to talk upon topics of a national
character, but to our salutation. and con-
graduation upon his apparently good health,
he said " Yes, l am in good health,
thanks to st. Jacobs Oil. 1t cured me of
rheumatism, my wife of neuralgia, and my
whole family of every ache and pain we have
had" "What?" we said, 50 have you
been using st. Jacobs Oil?' 81 have and
will tell you about it; 1 had very severe at
tack of rheumatism. / had heard of the
remedy, of COurse-who has not ?-and con-
cluded to try it, which l did, with the result
| have told you. My wife had the neuralgia
very badly. l applied it and cured her. I
regard it as one ofthe most, if not the most,
valuable and reliable remedy for diseases of
that nature that we have. do not known
what else it will do, but should not be sur
prised at any cure it would accomplish. |
would be glad to talk with you more about
it, but am pressed for time. Call again before
you co." Bidding Mr.. Haldeman good day,
we left him, and called at the wholesale drug
house of Afford Newhouse & Co. After q
pleasant greeting from Mr.. Newhouse we at
once proceeded to interview him. "Mr New
house." said we, "can you tell us anything
about St. Jacobs oil and its effect on the rheu-
matism?" He replied: 81 can tell you, my
dear sir, it is a most wonderful remedy for the
rheumatism; it cures every time. l could re-
late many instances of cures for you, but dc
not like to mention names Some people arc
very sensitive, you know, about publishing
their physical infirmities. We sell great guam
titles of it, say five or six gross month, with
q constantly increasing demand. 1t is the
best selling article we have, and its intrinsic
worth has long since established it as a medi
cine of standard merit"
AT this point in the conversation Mr.. F. J
Kaye, one of the gentlemanly attaches of the
store, came in, and Mr.. Newhouse said " BY
the way, here is living instance of the value
of st. Jacobs Oil" at the same time intro
ducing us to Mr.. Kaye. We inquired of hin

But the most remarkable instance of the valu
