Under this head the True Union, OF Baltimore

source" II it should prove equal to its pro-
tesson, we have several slyery beaded friends
who would like to avail themselves OF such q
convenient mode Of being ''do0e blown," or 81
most any other color.
A distinguished general (Twiggs) returned
from the Mexican war covered with glory
He had however two marks Of hard service
which laurels could not hide, as they did Casar's
badness One Was a head as White as wool;
and the other cutaneous eruption on his fore
head. For The latter, he was advised to try (
mixture OF sulphur, and sugar of lead and rose
water. In applying it, some OF the mixture moist
ened the hair on his forehead, and after while
this part OF his hair resumed lis original color
He then applied the mixture 10 the rest OF his
hair, and il all became, and is now, OF lis prim-
tive sandy hue. He communicated the fact 10
some of his friends in Washington, especially
to some Of the ex members, who are widowers,
and seeking pfefsymsnt-and it has been found
efIicacious ia every instance. 1t does not dye
tie hair, but seems TO operate upon the roots
and restore the original color. The receipt is as
foIlows / drachm lac sulphur, drach sugar OF
lead, ounces OF rose water; mix them, shake
the phal Oh using the mixture, and battle the
hair twice q day for week, or longer if neces-
sary.

REsroRIsG AND PRESERVING THE SlGHg.-A
friend who had read the following valuable item
of information, but who had forgotten which way
to rub his eyes for loss ofsight by age, requested
yesterday to to epublish the process. 1t is as
follows:
For near sightsdness the eyes and press
the fingers gently, from the out ,vard across
the eyes. This flsttens the pupil, s thus length
ems or extends the angle of vision. This should
be done several times a day, til! short sghtedness
lie overcome.
For the loss Of sight by age, such as require
magnifying glasses, pass the fingers or towel from
the outer corner Of the eyes ia,eardly, above and
below the eyeballs, pressing gently against them,
This rounds then up aud preserves or restores the
sight.
1t has already been sa ID that this is nothing new.
The venerable John @. Adams preserved his sight
in this way, in full vgor to the day of his death.
He told Lawyer Ford Of Lancaster, who wore
glasses that ifhe would manipulate his eyes with
his fingers, from their external angles inwardly
he would soen be able to dispense with his glass
es-Ford tried it, and soon restored his sight per-
fectly, and has since preserved it by the contin-
uance of this practice .--Pennsylvaniall

OHIO.-The editor of the Cincinnati Atlas is
now rusticating in Chillicothe. After giving his
opinion that the next census of Ohio will show
population of 1900 900, he expresses our SEN
timents exactly, in the following manner:
'sIn 1870, Ohio must, aocording'to the present
current of industry, Commerce, and internal inn
provement, be decidedly the most populous State
Of the American Union, New York and Ohio
will each then contain more than fonr million
but Ohio will be ahead. No State can complete
with Ohio, Tor reasons which can be easily ex-
planned The main one is that no other State
in the Union contains as much alimenl; in the
bosom Of her soil, upon which either to feed or
employ her people. The first element of wealth
and population in any country is land capable
of producing bread 10 eat, aeool 10 ololhe, coal to
burn, and iron manufacture. A country which
can do all this is beyond any change Of fortune.
Such is Ohio"

Two OF THE SoRT.-Ideness and good clothes
destroy more young men in cities than all other
causes put together. But there is a lackidaiscal
class of girls called ''young ladies'" who are in
worse way than these young fellows. While
their fathers, honest, labJrlng men, work early
and late to make living. and their mothers en-
slave themselves to keep tidy, and cook them
their meals, these interesting young creatures
are lolling about, terrified at nothing, 50 much as
at the idea of earning the salt that seasons their
food. You cannot induce them to do little sew
ing by offering them double pay, lest they should
be known to be working girls!, and lose all
chance of that fashionable word. Interesting, but
lazy creatures! doomed to helpless dependence
through life, or to be dead weights to duped hus-
bands.

A Curious While Mr.. Simon
W. Cummings, OF this town, was laboring in the
field a few days ago. he felt something hard pass
from the inside Of his nose into his mouth, which
he immediately spit out, and upon examination
it proved to be brass button about haitian inch
in diameter. His parents and others well recol-
lect the time when he got it up his nose; it
was in the month Of August, 1898, he then be-
ing only four years old From that time forward
it caused him no trouble until last winter, when
he had fall which Jared his head considerably,
and, as he thinks, partly dislodsed the button
and was the ultimate cause Of its finding its way
out, after being tenant Of his nose for about
seventeen years. The button is covered with a
kind of bony substance which gives it a ragged
appearance 1t has been carefully preserved
and can be examined by any that feel disposed
to doubt the correctness of the above statement

days Of Christ, people in general had but one

He knew that his gospel would make men &C.
quainted with each other all over the earth; and
with only one name they could not be distin-
eushed from others of the same name. By the
surname, one may be distinguished from mill

women in their beauty and sweetness, so they
ought to grow up together. No hower-earden

all these, and supplying all every woman should

his wife and daughters. Every honse--the
