About the Capital.

Last week gentleman and his
wife, residents Of the city Of Louis
vile, were visiting friends here and
embraced the opportunity to take in
all the points of interest in and
about our fair city.
They fell completely in love with
with the town and its situation, say
ing that, while they had occasionally
been here in the past, they had never
taken in all the beauties, the quaint
ness and coziness Of the town.
When they came to visit our ele-
giant (?) State capital they were
astonished at the old ram-shakle,
and were loud in their condemnation
of the shameful parsimOny of the
Legislatures of the past in refusing
to do anything TO remove the stigma
which has long rested upon the
name of our State on account of her
public buildings.
They greatly admired the situation
of the capital and the grounds with
their beautiful coating Of blue grass.
They did not blame the people Of
Frankfort for feeling outraged at the
way things had been run. They
felt, as Kentuckians. keenly the
humiliation that all who come here
feel at the disgraceful condition in
which they find the public buildings.
If citizens of our own Stase feel
thus about our State buildings, what
must those of other States think
of us?
1t is idle to talk about the State not
being i'm condition to do this or that.
Something has to be done, and that
right away.
The battle that has ragged for over
fifty years over the location of the
capital, has demonstrated that it
will never be moved anywhere else,
This everlasting waste of time and
money in this fight must stop, and,
the people generally Of the State
were perfectly willing for it to stop,
and were agreed in having bill
looking to the erection of suitable
buildings passed last session, and il
Senator and Representative been
more interested in political records
and political pie than they were in
looking after the interests of theil
people. We would, therefore, beg
and implore those who are setting ul
the megs for the next Representative
to select such Il man as Will attenC
strictly to business, antagOnize NJ
interests, make friends of all the
other members, and thus gain theil
good will and assistance in this WORK
of absolute necessity.
We have had enough of time
serving, tricksters and politicians
What we want now is business
man, who will devote his time, from
the first to the last day ofthe session
to doing this one thing.
1t will bea monument to his mem
DRY, whoever he may be, that vii
last long after he himself shall hav'
mOuldered back to dust.
Fellow-citizen find such man
elect him by big majority AM
compel him TO serve.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rambling sound orimpertect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
famaton can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
face.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

died.
Mr.. Babcock met the boy when about
