General Twiggs's Hair Dye.

A friend in New York sends us private
letter, from which we make the following ex-
tract for the benefit of those Interested
GA lady in a neighboring town, whose hair had
prematurely turned gray, used General Twiggss
remedy with the hope of restoring the color. In
one week her hair was tDhite the driuen snOtc
What says your reporter to that In one respect
she has gained the hair has stopped falling out,
and she now lives in the hope that the hair may
grow out of the right color from the roots gradual
ly. 1t may prove 80 possibly. Even Pandora's
box had some consolation at the bottom of it,
As our local reporter is here appealed TO, we
must permit him TO reply for himself. He
says:
Such may, in some cases, be the first effects OF
the remedy, though this is the only of the kind
of which we have yet heard. But, by perseverance
in the application Of the mixture, the desired end
will be attained The instances of success are too
numerous in this city to admit doubt in our
mind as to its efficacy. Hair that has become
whitened by age, other cause, is invariably re-
stored by it to its original color. The process il
slow, requiring several weeks for it's accomplish
ment. The effects first apparent at the roots,
but ultimately extend to the extremities.
In the case above described the hair has
stopped falling OUT This is lucky, for it gives
assurance that the lady will not fall out with for
having recommended the prescription"

Fire In the Treasury Department..

At about four o'clock yesterday afternoon a
fire was discovered in room of the Bounty
Land division of the General Land Office, on
the third floor of the Treasury building. The
alarm was given by Mr.. GODDARD, one of the
watchmen. 1t happened that Mr.. BUTTER
FIELD and two of his principal clerks, Messrs.
JOHN and JOSEPH S. WILSON, were in the
room of the Commissioner, at the other end of
the building. These gentlemen, with Mr.
GODDARD and the three other watchmen, upon
ascertainng the room from which the dense
smoke proceeded, Immediately entered it, and
soon succeeded in extinguishing the flames.
Upon examination, it was found that none of
the records and no papers of any value what
ever had been destroyed. The room was of
late occupied by Colonel CABEL, but at this
time by Judge WILLIAMS and Judge STRONG.
The fire was very clearly ascertained to have
been occasioned by the burning of broom that
had been placed behind large wooden case.
The hearth had been swept with this broom,
and it no doubt became ignited without the
knowledge of the man who had used it and
placed it in this position.

The Ordinance or I7s7.

The opinion of the Supreme Court, in tho
slave case recently adjudicated before that tri-
bunal-touching the authority of the ordinance
of l7S7-will be found in another part of this
mornings impression. The facts of the case
are there SO succinctly and clearly stated, that a
glance at the opinion will put the reader in the
immediate possession of them. Nor are the views
ofthe court upon the points oflaw presented with
any less conciseness and perspicuity. We can
not give our readers an abstract of the opinion,
because the opinion possesses the rare merit of
being itself an abstract.
The court, we believe, were unanimous on
the question of jurisdiction ; but we understand
that Justices WAYNE, M'LEAN, and CATRoN,
dssented from the opinion on the ground that
it decides points not essential to the judgment,
and therefore liable to be treated by the State
tribunals as extra judicial dicta.

MIR. johnson, OF kentucky.

By his letter in another column, addressed to
the voters of the second Congressional district
of Kentucky, it will be seen that the Hon.
JAMES l.. JOHNSON declines reelection to
Congress. We owe an apology to Mr.. JONI
SON for the delay that has occurred in its publ
cation, consequent on the great pressure upon
our columns. Sincerely as we regret the loss
of representative so faithful to his party and
to the Union as Mr.. JOHNSON, we cannot doubt
that the considerations which have induced
him to decline reelection are such as would
be amply satisfactory to his constituents. That
they are ready to approve and endorse his
course as their representative, the unanimous
sentiment of the State is sufficient guarantee

1--WE have interesting accounts from the Mexi-

Bartlett arrived at FL Paso on the 18th November,
in advance of the main body, in thirty three days
from San Antonio, after a detention Of seven days

"ln consequence of detention of the commission,
he was induced to take party of young engineers
as an escort, well mounted and armed, together
with spies and hunters, and seven wagons with
provisions, equipments &c. forming a party of
forty. This party then went in advance OF the
train, leaving San Antonio on the 18th October,
and, when near San Saba struck off TO the north
to Brandy creek, thence west to Sonoho. They
travelled eight days with no other guido than
maps and the compass. Mr.. Bartlett struck for
the road again, his object being to find grass and
water, but he was disappointed. At the Congo he

Message of the Governor OF New York.

The first annual message of Governor Hunt
was delivered to the Legislature on the 9TH in
slant. 1t is we'll written document, of consid-
cradle length, giving very full account of the
internal affairs of the State, which, at no period
of her history, says the Governor, have pre-
scented more encouraging aspect.
1t is estimated that the receipts of the cur
rent year from ordinary sources will be suffi-
cient to defray all the usual expenses of the
State, and that the resources of the general fund,
as now established, will be found sufficient at all
times for the support of the government, without
an increased debt or taxation, provided there
is economy in the expenditures, and appropria-
tons are kept within the reliable means of the
treasury.
The aggregate amount of State debt, on the
Goth of September last, was S22 $50, 1903 AZ.
This is exclusive of the stock loaned by the
State to certain railroad corporations.
A large portion Of the message is devoted TO
the subject Of the canals, and the future policy of
the State in reference thereto. Apprehensions
are entertained that the trade of the Erie canal
will be impaired by the completion of railroads
and other rival avenues in and out Of the State,
unless measures are adopted to lessen the ex-
penses of canal transportation. Freights can
not be reduced without a reduction of tolls, or
an enlargement OF the canal to enable for
warders to increase the capacity Of their
boats. Sixteen years have elapsed since the
Legislature determined to enlarge the Erie
canal Sl5,990,443 81 have been expended
upon it, and 81 100000 will be required to
complete it. A net sum of 100000 per an
mum will complete it in 1866, and 81 10000
per annum will complete it in 1868. The Gov
ernor takes up the subject with reference TO a
more speedy completion. The canal was con-
structed in less than eight years in the face OF
formidable obstacles. after an experience
like ours says Governor HUNT, cit is indeed
remarkable that any portion ofour people should
deem it wise or necessary to occupy quarter
Of century in enlarging or perfecting work
which was constructed originally under circum-
stances far more difficult in less than one
third Of that period" As to the means
Of insurng the early completion of the Ell
largement, the Governor suggests three diff
ferent plans, but expresses his own preference
for that of amending the constitution so as Il
confer upon the Legislature the necessary au-
thorily to create loan Of seven or eight mil
lions, on pledge Of the surplus revenues. /
the amendment should be adopted by the pre-
sent and succeeding Legislature, and then sane
toned by the people, the final completion o
the enlargement might be accomplished before
the opening Of navigation in 1856.
| The Governor next treats Of the educational
affairs Of the State, and discusses various loca
matters, which our space will not allow us tC

SENSIBLE IIoRsEs. .--Laing, in his
travels in Norway, says that the ':orses
in that country have very sensible way
of taking their food. Instead OF swelling
themselves witha paillul Of water at a
draugh,. no doubt from the fear Of not
getting any again, aud then overgorglng
themselves with dry food for the same
reason, they have bucket of water put
down beside their allowance of hay. Il
is amusing to see with what relish they
take a sip Of the one and mouthful Of
the other alternately, sometimes only
moistening their mouth as rational be-
ng would do while ealing a dinner Of
such dry f,od. A -winded horse
is scarcely ever seen in Norway.
