dale," a few short stories of the med.um
magazine pattern and an excellent miscel
lany, matte up the October number of the
Gata.ry, a rearzine which has gained a
prominent position amongst the standard
periodicals of •the time. Altogether, the
October number is a fair specimen of its
usual style.

_ The announcement Mid Efon..Saknuel . F.
Carey, of Cincinnati,. would address the
..,
DemoOratic workingmen of. Birminigham
last evening, drew together about three
hundred voters in the .Diamond Square of
that borough. The meeting organized by
..
'calling J. W. Kreps, Esq., to the chair,
who, in, a very neat and dignified speech,
introduced to the audience a bragga
docio named Richard Travellick, a ship.
builder, of Detroit, Michigan, who pro
ceeded to speak his piece. How any
~0
man could talk for hours on no th ing,
about nothing, and to o earthly -purpose,
we never ! could dis ver till this bag
of wind punctured imaelf and let flow
a torrent of meaningle s words strung to
gether with as much g od taste as a child
would make its bead and button charm,
or a school boy of ten summers put in shape
his first composition. Speaking to aid . Mr.
Burtt, he murdered I3urtt's and every
other man's grammar, and talked to the
intelligent workingmen as though they I
were illiterate fellows who could not disl I
cover the demagoguism and ignorance of ,
himself. He evidently had ransacked '
the dictionary for big sounding wordr, and
without discr.minati n arranged them to
gether to/ connterfe and pass off his re
marks as the true c on of eloquence AM men
Who, for the sake o _their enlightened fel
o-
h
- lOW tollerikwe trns , saw through the m
tives of the fellow, d set him down ai an
interesled politicia who, finding favor in
neithef great party, ' has shot out to I advo
cate the rights of the laboring classes. We
have heard him once and hope to be spared
the torture of hearing him again.
ti i
Lgon. S. F. Care. , of Cincinnati, was the
next speaker in need, and he acquitted
- himself but little otter. He held in his
soft white hand massive • gold headed
cane, such as it Is fashionable for our la
boring men to carry, and sported a heavy
gold watch and chain which are so charac
teristic of our workingmen's extravagant
Ideas of personal adornment. He 'came
into their midst a friend and advocate of
labor reform; of equal taxation; of
the abolishment of national banks ;
of the 'equal' distribution of public
lands; of one universal greenback cur
rency. He was honest in all his acts
and votes in 'Congress ; could have made
half a million by selling out but wouldn't;
he took no stock in either parry but loved
the mechanic -- and the laborer. Rich,
bloated bondholders of Cincinnati are going
to a pend hallo million of dollars to secure
his defeat for Congress, but in spite of all
this wealth, and of the oppo.sition of four
daily papers, two morning and two evening,
he will triumph and again be elected. He
wanted somebody with whom he could as
sociate in Congress, and his •choice was
Bartt, the bard fisted mechanic
of Western l'ennslyvania. Let him be
elected and - good , times generally
will follow throughout the nation. Ai "d so
spokelkir. Carey. His speech harclittle or
no effect on his Democratic audience, who
stood as immovable as stone when the
speaker got off some of the same
heavy periods which "sparkled" in-the
speech of the shipbuilder who had pre
ceded him, (for bdth traveling together,

The Banner Club
The contest between the several Grant
and Colfax Clubs of the city to be styled
the "Banner Club" is quite spiritel
The Club of the Seventh and Eighth wards
is making a special effort in this direction. '
The Club held a large and quite e nthusias
tic meeting that night, when quite a num
ber of names' were added to the roll and
fifty additional uniforms ordered. The.
"Marching Phalanx" of the Club are
already proficient in company drill, and if
they do not carry off the palm at the ap
proaching demonstration we are much mis
taken. The-more of this spirit we have the
greater will be our success. The Club will
meet 'or drill on Monday evening at seven
o'clock, when all aro requested to bring
their uniforms with thorn to the School
lions° and join in tiw parade to Millersville
to attend a meeting at that place.

Eleventh Ward.
The Republicans of the Eleventh (old
Seventh) ward will hold an election
this afternoon between the hours of
five and seven o'clock to nominate one
man for Common Council, as there was a
tie vote , on last Saturday between Hon.
W. C. McCarthy and Dr. A. G. McCandless.
As the field is clear for the two above
named, yve look for a large vote to be polled.
The Grant club of this ward will parade
this evening. All the Republicans of 'the
ward are earnestly urged to be on hand
at - the school house at seven o'clock to join
in the procession.
On Tuesday Night as some of the Grant
and Colfax clubs , in Philadelphia were
marching home from the great meeting at
the UlllOll League, they were attacked on
Race street by a crowd of men hurrahing
for Seymour and Blair. Wicks and stones
were hurled'about and a pdrfect shower of
these missi es rained down on the proces
sion from the roofs and winct , ws of , the
neighbdring houses. The members of the
Vigltant Engine Company were prominent
among the assailant,., and rang from their
bell a general alarm, in hopes of bringing
reinforcements, but instead of that, a strong
squad of police marched up, who succeeded .
In quelling . the disturbance and preventing
the destruction, by the irate Republicans,
of the Vigilant Engine House. Three mem
bers of different clubs were severely in
jured by pistols, knives and bricks, and
many 'other -persona 'were slightly hurt.
The same arguments iieein thus to be in use
in Philadelphia as in Pittsburgh. •

rooms, and was purchased by one of oar
prominent and wealthy citizens, Springer
Hartatugh. Esq., who resides near East
Liberty. It is one of those famous Square
Grand Steinway Pianos, than which noth
ing exists more truly and mechanically

atmosphere , about a Steinway Piano which
is y irresistible to the taste of refined
persons and the discriminative apprecia
tion of professional men. A few years
hence and there will hardly be one amongst
the thousands of elegant residences spring

Advice That Should Be Heeded.
- We desire to call the attention of the af
flicted to the merits of Roback's Blood
Pills, a purely vegetable ' cathartic, free
from mercury and all mineral poisons, and
undouotedly the best remedy extant for the
radical cure of nervous and sick headache,
bilious disorders and all affections of the
Livr and Blood. They are, as their name
indiecates, a Blood Pill; they search the blood
for disease and strike at the very root, there
by effecting not temporary t permanent
cures. As a purgative, they are all that
can be desired, being mild and safe e
in of our
their
operation and unque‘tionably on
most satisfactory Cathartic Pills, and should
be kept in every household, and, when ta
ken in conjunction with Roback's Blood
Purifier, are unequalled for curing Scrofula,
Skin , Disease, Old Sores, Salt Rheum, Dys
peltipsia, Erysipeltus, Tumors; Eruptions, and
a diseases arising from a disordered state
o the blood or a disorganized state of the
system. Try these riaedicines and you will
never regret it. Ask those who have used
them, and they will tell you they are the
best of medicines. Sold by all druggists
everywhere. .rrsl`

many advantages offered to housekeepers
and others, who are in want of first-class
articles of groceries, at the original Dia
