Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitut-
ional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in

Eustachian Tube, When this tube is infamed

the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal

nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh

He DESIGNED THE FAIR GROUNDS.

Frederick Law OImstead Is the Most EN-
inent American Landscape Gardener.
An enviable prominence is that
which Frederick Law Olmstead has
won for himself and which Harvard and
Yale honored themselves by recognizing
when they unwittingly chose the same

achievement, and they are certainly very
beautiful, but something great was to
have been expected of the man who de-
signed and laid out Chicago's whole sys-
tenn OF public parks and suburb of Riv-
erside, the capitol grounds at Washing
ton and the great parks of New York,
Brooklyn, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Bos-
ton, Bridgeport, Trenton, Montreal,
Milwaukee, Louisville, Kansas City and
many other places, besides countless
number of beautiful private estates.
Central park, New York, will always
remain the most notable illustration of
Mr.. Olmsteads genius, not only because
of it's rare beauty and costlinesss, but
also because of the rapidity with which
the work was done and the great execu-
tive ability displayed in doing it. The
bark commissioners were unanimous in
selecting his plans from among 35 sub
Mitteel to them and also in selecting
him to superintend the work of carrying
them out. This, because of political
exigencies, had to be done very quickly,
and at one time over 1900 men were
under his direction, yet he maintained
discipline and secured efficiency and
economy unprecedented in public enter
prises.
Mr.. Olmstead is an artist, an architect,
a civil engineer, practical agricultur-
list and an author. Besides many con-
tributions to magazines and other peri
odicals in recent years, he published as
long ago as 1852 book which has been
several times reprinted, Walks and
Talks of an American Farmer In Eng
land" "a Journey In the Seaboard
Slave States appeared in 1866, ga Jour
ney In Texas" in 1857 and "a Journey
In the Back Country" in 1861.
Mr.. Olmstead is native of Connecti-
cut and studied at the Yale scientific
school. He is 81 years of age and lives
in that charming suburb of Boston called
Brookline, on little two acre estate of
which it is sufficient to say that he has
arranged the grounds to suit himself,
and they are therefore perfect.

He Felt Embarrassed.

A Detroiter who was in Cincinnati
last week was at one of the railroad de-
pots one afternoon and met man whom
he used to know in Albany15 years ago.
After handshaking and talking for few
minutes the Albany man remarked:
Come and be introduced to my wife.
That's she over there"
"What! fs tha8-that lady your
wife?" stammered the Detroiter.
"Why, certainly-come along"
"But-but'-
"Why, man, what ais you? Don't
you want to meet my wife?"
Eyes, of course. That is-please ex-
cuse me. I'd rather not meet her-not
today"
"Say!'' said the other as he stood back
and looked the Detroiter over for min
ute, "my wife was divorced woman
when I married her."
'sWas-was she?'
"And I'll bet. 500 you were her first
husband! Yesss1'm sure Of it! Out with
it, old boyl'

BASE BALL.
A walkover for the Y. M. G. AS.


The Y. M. c. A. base ball club played
the Invincibles at Deering, Saturday, and
had walkover. The Y. M. c. AS had
their batting clothes on and rolled up
the base hit column in great shape, F.
Libby excelling in this line. J. Libby
pitched finely, and was not hit hard dur
ing the game. Fitzsimmons batted the
ball into a pile of rubbish in the right
field and made a home run while the
fielders were trying to find it. Devine
played exce.lently for the Invincibles,
making two fine running catches. W.
Chase played second base for the Y. NJ.
G. AS in great style. Attendance, $50.

AGAIN the acts of the De.

AGAIN the acts of the De-
mocracy of Memphis evinces
the depth of degradation to
which it has fallen, and its
utter disregard of the princi-
pies of fairness and justice.
In that city there are two fac
tions, and the bone of con-
tention is the mayoralty. One
faction indorses the present
mayor, w. L. Clapp, and the
other, j. J. Williams, the
present trustee Of Shelby
county. A most unhallowed
act of the city executive COM
mittee was in the appointment
of judges to hold the primary
election-all of whom were
friends of Williams except
three. The result of their
action is a split in the party.
While neither faction are by
any means saints, it is very
evident that the Williams
clique are in closer touch with
the ruler of the lower regions
than the other. The Scimi-
tar's suggestion to withdraw
both Clapp and Williams and
select another agreeable to
both factions, is a wise one
and should be acted upon. 1t
is not a matter of impossible
ity to unite factions of kim
dred dispositions. We are
interested in having the De-
mocracy of that city elevated
before the holding of the
next congressional conven-
ton, as the pure in heart
from the rural districts will
be compelled to come in con-
tact with them at that time.

trage of ex-Union soldiers is
not Endorsed by those who
are Justly of the opinion that

with the vehement manner in
which Senator VOORHEES,, al.
