Sea Otter Oil

For Preserving and Beauttying the hair.
Boston, Dec. 1888.
DIR. Frederick Brown: certify that have used the
Otter oil which is put up by you. For dryness of the
hair and dandrnf on The head, do think it superior
to any other oil ever used. 1t makes the hair soft
and gives il fine and glossy appearance and the hair
does not dry up again does after using any other
kind of oil. 1hereforeI can most cheerlully recon-
mend it to all that afflicted with dry and un-
healthy head of hair. think any one by using it a
short time will find it very valuable article

The n. Orleans Times of the 18th inst,
has the following intelligence. We do not
see ii mentioned in any other paper:
MOST IMPORTANT!
Again rejection of the Oiire Brdnch-
Merico declines treating!
At the moment when the Galveston was
leaving Vera Cruz, courier, with the mail
from the capital, entered the city, bringing
dates to the 9Th inst. The principal item
of intelligence brought from the city of Mex
leo, is of momentous character, viz: The
Mexican Congress, with some difficulty had
been brought together, and Mr.. Buchanan 5
communication, containing the President 5
overtures for peace were laid before him.
Their decision was immediate, and to
the effect that Mexico would listen to no
terms for peace. Gen. Scott left Puebla, at
the head OF his army, for the capitol, on the
goth ut. We received this news from a
passenger, and have every reason to believe
that il is authentic.

\ NEW lNyENTION-A machine TO sow grain
is the latest inv cntion which has met eye, of
ered to the farmers of the west. 1t is very sim
pie machine, and may be briefly described. Imagine
a wheelbarrow (no very difficult stretch of magin.
ation)-across the wheebarrow is slender box,
some ten or twelve feet in length. The outer face
of the box perforated with holes, some four or six
inches apart. On rod in the inside, reaching the
length of the box, fixed circular brushes to cor
respond with these holes The rod containing these
brushes is connected by gearing with the wheel OF
the barrow Fill the box with grain, se.ze the ham
dies, and start over the ground you wish TO sow,
The motion of the wheel sc IT'S the brushes IN motion,
and they scatter the seed from the holes in the box
The machine, we observed has very narrow
wheel which, we should think, although the ma
chine is light, would make it difficult to propc it
over soft newly ploughcd ground. light wheel,
with a broad surface, would obviatc this objection,
and render the invention a useful one. We know
not how much labor is now expended in sowing
era H. but with this machine farmer may walk
deliberately from one end of his field TO another,
covering ii space the length of the box each time,
the seed being evenly distributed in Uniform rows
all the way through.

\ VEGETABLE SNAKE.-A young Miss oil
Cincinnati, while at market early last week
saw in the hands of German country wo-
man a vegetable snake. 1t was mixed up
with her vegetables, and was purchased by
the person referred to for two cents. The
snake is half an inch in diameter at the
centre, and tapers to the tail. The head is
on the outer extremely of the plant, and. is
as perfect n snakes's head as if it had grown
on snake! This reptile is in coil, with
the head resting on the body, tongue, mouth,

yellow color. bright, with all the appearance
of ayiper. This curiousiiy grew from the
root of an elder bush on a farm in that
country. The stem where the tai of the
snake commences, is about the size of a
pipe stem. and of the natural consistency
and color of the common elder.

IL The name of the democratic nominee for the
deiegacy will be found at the head of our sheet
From the published account of the proceedings.
we perceive that although many ballotings were
had, and much diversity OF opinion existed, Mr.
Strong was finally declared unanimously the choice
of the Convention. If We should say we were sat
sEed with this choice, or considered it the best
which could have been made, we should belle our
feelings but we have always recognized the i'm
portance of our party organization and have always
bowed to the decision of our conventions That
their action is not always perfect and that their de
cison is not always the best that can be made, may
be true; but good democrat will not look to these
exceptions for his rule of action He will look
further. Whatever evils may grow up, and be re-
cognized temporarily, all know that to the sue
cess of the democratic party and principle must
look for the good we anticipate from Government,
and from our peculT institutions The ques
ton is higher than one merely of men and the sue
cess or deeat of our nominee involves a much
higher question than hi, triumph or downfall. 1t
is to be an expression of the people of Wisconsin
on the principles which divide and animate the two
partes-it is to throw the voice and influence of
Wisconsin, on one side OF the other of the scale of
measures. Democrats, then, cannot hesitate or fall

the view Of the Democracy, nor what the result
The question is fairly before them and Democratic
principles cannot DO >tricken down, wen Temporal

IL Blackwoods Magazine in an article review
Ing recent work on North America, Siberia, and
Russia has the following remarks with regard to
the present war between the United States and Mex
ico-
At the same time, we cannot avoid look
ing upon the invasion of Mexico as por-
ton of that extraordinary and mysterious
agency which is now shaking all the great
stagnant districts of the world; which has
already awaked Turkey in Europe and in
Asia Minor; which has brought Egypt into
civilized action; which has broken down the
barbarism of the Algerines, and planted the
French standard in place of the furies and
prohigacies of African Mahometanism.-
Deeply depreeating the guilt of those aggres-
slons, and condemning the crimes by which
they have been sustained, we cannot but re-
gard changes SO unexpected, SO powerful,
and so simultaneous, as the operation of a
higher power than mans, with objects alto
gether superior to the short-sightedness OF
man, and amply bearing the character OF
working good out of evil, which belongs to
the history of Divine Providence in all the
ages of the world.

with yeldingto a Democratic nomination.
The truth is, at least, we have no doubt OF
it,-General Taylor looks forward with
great confidence To seat in the Presiden ial
chair. Every letter he has written on the
subject of his nomination indicates that hai
is the object of his ambition. He undoubt-
eddy coyerts a nomination from both the
great political parties. Perhaps he might
strengthen his chance, if he should unite
himself in communion with one popular
church, and be baptized according to the

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM
MFXIC0

By way of Tampico, says the y. O.
Picayune, we yesterday received copy of
Ell Repubfcdao from the city of Mexico,
of Both June-aso the number of the 2Sth,
which was missing from our previous file.
Both papers contain matter of great interest.
postscript in the paper of the 29th,
contains report of the proceedings of a
council of war SAID to have been held in
Gen. SCOTS camp on Thursday, the oath,
the business of which was to determine
whether or not to advance upon the capitol.
One general, whose name is not given, is
said to have argued that it would be imprI-
dent, nay, an act of madness 10 advance up
on the city with less than 10000 men; that
upon the supposltion that every thing should
work tavorabIy for them, it was evident
that they could not enter the capitol with
out resistance; and that supposing III their
different engagements they should loose half
OF their force or more, they would be left
with some four thousand men, with which
number it was extremely hazardous to at
tempt to hold SO populous city.
Gen. Worth was of different opinion
He maintained that every invader who hes
itated was lost; that in their situation sim
gle retr0gade movement involved the most
disastrous consequences, and that this had
already been proved. He added proudly
that SIX or eight thousand Americans were
sufficient to conquer twenty thou sand Mex
leans; that their triumph was certain, and
there was no reason for not pressing on.
Scott and others are said to have APPROX
ed these sentiments, so that it was at last
determined that they should commence the
forward movement on the 2Sth, but upon
the suggestion of some one that ii might not
be proper to act so promptly after having
Just despatched the communication from the
Government of the u. States with renewed
offers of peace, Gen. Scott replied that he
would wait some two days at Rio Frio to
receive the answer of the Mexican Govern
ment.
The American force at the time of this
council was set down by the Mexicans at
eight thousand five hundred men, thirty
pieces of artillery and one mortar.
