BY JULIAN A. SELBY Uncle John Bobinson, who was the people's and Republican can? didate lor Mayor of Cincinnati, had the misfortune to be beaten on j Monday, and to be badly beaten? 6,000 being the majority against] him. When we recollect that Cin? cinnati is not a Democratic city, and that it has only elected the ticket of that party in late years because there is a very large Li? beral element among its voters, the defeat of Mr. Bobinson can only be attributed to the fact that cir? cus men are not popular in Cincin? nati, and that its people have * no de?iro to have a menagerie in their ] politics. Uncle John, as he is fa? miliarly called, is said to be an| honest man, but ho had been con? nected with rings all his life, and | even now associates with clowns. Hence very probably his rejection. There is a cortain clergyman in Troy who keeps an eye on the temp?^?LiC? habits of his flock. On Sunday afternoons ho takes a seat in one of the most frequented bar? rooms of the city and watches the customers. The Press says that the number of men who call and leave after asking what time it is or Where John Smith liveB, is as? tonishing. "Who's there?" said Jenkins, one very cold wintor night, disturbed in his repose oy some one knocking at the street door. "A iriend," was the answer. "What do you want?" "Want to stay hero all night." "Queer taste?stay there by all means," was the benevolent | reply. When the Omaha people find a | man half buried in the snow, his limbs chopped from his body, and two bullet holes in his left Bide, their papers ask, "has.a foul mur? der .been committed?" Probably, but if not, what? When, a boy begins to feel that he has commenced the problem of destiny?When his mother makes him hold a skein of zephyr at the very time he has promised to meet Bill: Jones in the hay mow to have a game of seven up. A > Toledo reporter can throw a boot-jack' thirty-six yards, on a dark night, and hit a cat every time. A Boston reporter would like to be able to throw a boot-jack thirty-six feet on a dark night, end not hit a cat. "Our reporter was promptly on! the ground," as a Wisconsin paper said when a platform gave way at a Sunday-school celebration, and let a' crowd of people (the reporter included) down into two feet of mud.V,~.

Some? times the pain is in the shoulder, and is mistaken for rheumatism. The stomach iis affected with loss of uppotite and slck fness, bowels in general costive, and sometimes alternating with lax. The head is troubled with .pain, and dull, heavy sensation, considerable loss ol memory, accompanied with painful son sation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. Often complaining of weakness, debility and low spirits. Sometimes many of the (above symptoms attend the disease, and at other times, very few of them; but the Liver is generally the organ most in? volved. ZE2 SIMMONS' LIVER REGULATOR!
