The dissatisfied colored voters and
the Dixmyth Democracy ol Cincin
nati, to whom Means owes his election,
should sec to it that the police are
used in the interest of the city alone.
They should also see that a few col
ored men are appointed, not that they
directly contributed to his election,
but because they did indirectly.
Those who think the influence which
the press wields isot little, it any, ben
efit to those whose cause it advocates
«re sadly mistaken. Since our re
sentment of the audacious lie thrust at
the colored voters of Madison, their
political sky has grown clearer and
clearer, until at last their recognition,
in such places as they are capable of
tilling, has actually come.
The captain of the steamship Nebo,

thing that was available, even the
dogs and leather of their shoes were
greedily devoured. They were sup
plied with provisions and sent on
their way rejoicing.

MADISON (IND.) ITEMS.
The Misses. Harris gave an exceed
ingly pleasant reception at their resi
dence, Mount Look Out, on Thursday
evening; of last week. It was compli
mentary to Mr. William Fielding of Cin
cinnati, who was here visiting his friend
Mr. F. S, Delany. Among the several
pleasant features of the reception, were
the literary exercises, in which nearly
all present took apart, Mr. Fielding
leading oil'in a declamation which wir
rendered in line stjte. Al.ss. Maria
Shannon was called upon to read a se
lection from Burns. She responded to
the call in her usually free and easy
manner, and it is not an exaggeration
when we say, her rendition of the piece,
was a paragon of excellence. The other
par ticipants did well, and deserve some
thing more than a passing notice; hut
our short space, and want of time, for
bids. Refreshments were served about
ten o clock, and the following toasts
were prQposed, and responded to; “our
hostesses,’* Mr. W. Frank Anderson;
“our honored guest,” Mr. J. C. Allen;
“fhe ladies ” Mr. K. S. Delany; “tho
ladies,” Miss Gsrtrude Harris; “Our
Country,” Mr. T. J. Wilson; “Spring,”
Miss Klla Harris; "Tho city of Madison”,
Mr. William Fieldiug.of Cincinnati.
Mr. Fielding’s response was, what may
be termed a happy hit; he referred to
his visit here as one of the most pleas
ant he had ever made anywhere, and
said that when far away, he would not
forget the city of Madison, her hos
pitable citizens in general, nor her
chaiining ladies in particular. The re
ception lasted until a late hour and was
grand success in every respect.
Mr. F. S. Dclanv did the handsome
thing by his Cincinnati guest. He
has evidently “been there before.”
1 Mr, Charlie Taylor and four other
gentlemen went out for a fox clmse. j
They had seven dogs. When out at
Canaan road »hoy suited a big fox,
which the dogs pursued all night and
captured the next morning about day
light. The men built a fire and wait
ed untUsdlie dogs returned.

of the Filth street Church, at
'Stra*. Mary Stokes’, last Monday
evening, was largely attended.
Mr. John Carter has closed his
•school at Seymour and is now home
again.
The office of Assistant Street Su*
I pervisor fs now filled by two colored
men, namely, Allen Thompson and
jßobCiaig. Each of these gentlemen
1 have a force of colored men at work
| on the streets in different parts of the
j city. The Hf. View is getting its work
: in. No public office in Madison has
been filled by a colored man, un*
; til the Review made its appearance,
i advocating his claims and demanding
| a fuller recognition of them.
Mrs. Mary C. Johnson is ill at her
residence on Walnut street.
Mrs. James Thomas is recovering
slowly.
Miss Jennie Johnson spent several
days in the country, visiting relatives.
The scramble for the postoffice is
disgusting. Col. Garber died Friday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, and by half
past two, the same afternoon, some of
the ravenous ftffice-seekers were on
their way to Washington City to get
the place made vacant. By Saturday
a young army of others were clamor
ing most boisterously for the place.
Col. Boh Craig says if he were Gar
field he would recognize no man who
was indecent enough to join in the
scramble for the office before Col.
Garber’s remains were cold. Col.
Bob is about rigfit, and we hope Gar
field will act on his suggestion.

HAVE YOU THE
CATARRH?
DR. KARSNER’S
CA TARRH RE MED Y
WILL CURE YOU.
We define Catarrh to be a chronic in
tlamation of the mucous membrane of
the body. This membrane lines all the
cavities of the body, which connect by
outlets with its surface, and is endowed
with a much lower sensibility, and is
less liable to Le affected by irritants than
other membranes • Rut when once the
seat of disease, irritated from any cause,
it is capable of inflicting very severe suf
ferings. . t
Nasal Catarrh is, perhaps, the best ex
ample, and the most dillicult to cure
Out Nasal Catarrh is curable, even in its
worst form. Indeed, as far as observa
tion goes, the remedy which we offer
the publichas proved equally effective
in breaking up cases of long standing
and of recent origin. And though hun
dreds have taken oar remedy (many, of
whom have now been cured for years)
without a return of the complaint,yet we
have never met with an instance where
it failed to give instant and permanent
relief.
The system of treatment we offer is
both constitutional and local. It em
braces first, an alterative preparation to
restore the blood to a healthy condition,
arouse the system from torpor and break
up the tendency to local congestion.
To accomplish these results, the Blood
Pills are pre-eminently efficacious; com
bining in themselves, the means to ac
complish a three-fold resalt, to cleanse
the bloou lUJnw and increase its quan
tity , and imp|rt vigor and tone to thfev,
action of ihiritcvvous Seooaui^ r ~'
a Ideal application, possessing great an
odyne and healing virtues, containing
an element especially intended to stim
ulate and arouse the nerve substance
of the brain, without unduly exciting
the vascular system of the same organ.
We commend this system of treatment
of catarrh to the favorable notice of
every one suflering from the complaint,
with the full assurance that a cure can
and may be expected in every case, irre-*
spectheofthe length of the time the
disease has been in progress. It has been
faithfully tried. It gives relief and
promises a cure from the first upplica
tion. One package usually accom
plishes a cure. Ask your druggist for
it. If he does not keep it, you will find
a supply at AUGUST KNOEFEL,
