Beautifying and Preserving Hair.

The scientific American gives the fol-
lowing directions for making beautiful
hair oil, which may be of use to some Of
our readers,
Take pint of olive oil and bring il
up to 200 degrees of heat in clean pan,
(not irony and add half an ounce of pear
lash and stir well for ten minutes. Take
il off and set it to cool; when cold sed-
iment will be found at the bottom
Pour of the clear through cotton cloth,
and put it up in bottle for use. The
pearlash combines with the margerin acid
in the oil, leaving the olean, this will be
free from odor. 1t can be colored red,
with garancin, "a preparation of madder,)
but hair oils should never be colored.-
All the hair oils of the perfumers are
either of red or yellow color.-ThiS is
to please the eye of the buyer, who mis-
takes an adulterated for superior article
Hair oils should be clear and nearly col
orless. By exposing the olive oil, refined
as described, to the sun, in well corked
bottles, it Will soon become colorless,
lmpid as water, and exceedingly beauti-
ful.-Any person can thus prepare his
own hair oil.
An article in the Philosophical Trans
actions, says that if the ashes of vine
branches are boiled in ren wine, and this
(the liquid applied milkwarm to the
hair every evening it will prevent the hair
from falling out. A mixture of good
brandy and olive oil is good to prevent
the hair from falling out by applying it
with sponge before going to bed, and
brushing the head well. The head must
be well brushed when these lotions are
applied.-By washing the head with
solution of borax, say twice per week,
those predisposed to dandruff, viii find a
perfect cure for it.

disheveled tresses-until with start she
cried
Frank oh, Frank, come backw
Here [ am !! said a soft voice by her
side.
She raised her head. She opened her
astonished eyes. Frank was standing be-
fore her.
You have been asleep" he said, kind
ly.
Asleep?"
And dreaming, too, I should say
not pleasantly, either"
Dreaming p murmured Katie; " and
is it all a dream?"
81 hope So" replied Frank, taking her
hand. ~ came back to plead my cause
once more-and found you here where
left you-asleep."
"Oh, what horrid dreamw murmured
Katie, rubbing her eyes. "It was so
like terrible reality that I shudder now
to think of it, | thought I was married."
"And would that be so horrible ?" ask
ed Frank. Il hope then you did not
dream you were married to me !"
" "No-I thought gave my hand with
out my heart"
"Then if you gave me your hand, it
would not be without your heart"
I" No, Frank" said Katie, her bright
eyes beaming happily through tears-"and
here it is"
She placed her fair hand in his-he
kissed it in a transport.
And soon there was a real marriage;
not a splendid, but happy one not fol-
lowed by life of luxury, but by life of
love and contentment; and that was the
marriage of Frank Minot and Katie.

4 Smart Wonsan.-In the county of
Choctaw, Ala, a woman was charged
with numbering her husband, and en-
ployed legal gentleman, whose name it
is not necessary to mention, to defend her,
promising him two negroes as his fee
He undertook her defence, and contrary
to the expectations of all she was acquit-
ted; he called upon her for the two ne
groes, when she gravely informed him
that the negroes belonged to her daught-
er. Not relishing the idea of being chea-
ted out of the negroes, be instituted suit
against her for perjury, which she defen-
ded and mulcted him for the costs In
a short time she gave birth to an illegiti-
mate child; made oath that he was the
father, and compelled him to enter into
bonds for Its support and maintenance.
according to the statutein such cases made
and provided.

Bisset, the animal Teacher.

Few individuals have presented to strik-
ing an instance of patience and eccentri-
city as Bisset, the extraordinary teacher
of animals. He was a native of Perth,
and an industrious shoemaker, until the
notion of teaching animals attracted his
attention in the year 1859. Reading an
account of a remarkable horse shown at
St. German, curiosity led him to exper-
iment on horse and dog, which he
bought in London, and he succeeded in
training these beyond all expectation.-
Two monkeys were the next pupils he
took in hand, one of which he taught to
dance ane tumble on a rope, whilst the
other held candle in one paw for his
companion, and with the other played the
barrel organ. These animals he also in
structed to play several fanciful tricks !;
such as drinking to the company, riding
and tumbling on horses back, and going
through several regular dances with his
dog.
All this, it may be said, was very ridic-
ulous. No doubt it was; at the same
time, the results showed the power of cul-
ture in subduing the natural propensities.
Bisset's teaching of cats was signal in
stance of this power. Having procured
three kittens, he began their education
with his usual patience. He at length
taught these miniature tigers to strike
their paws in such directions on the dull
elmer as to produce several regular tunes,
having music books before them, and
squalling at the same time in different
keys or tones, first, second and third, by
way of concert. He afterwards was in
duced to make public exhibition of his
animals, and the well known Cats Opera
in which they performed, was advertised
In the Haymarket Theatre. The horse,
the dog, the monkeys, and the cats, went
through their several parts with uncom-
mon applause to crowded houses; and in
a few days Bisset found himself possessed
of nearly thousand pound to reward his
ingenuity aid perseverance.
This success excited Bisset's desire to
extend his dominion over the animal, in
Guiding even the featherod kind He
procured a young leveret, and reared it
to beat several marches on the drum with
its hind legs until it become good stout
hare. He taught canary birds, Innets
and sparrows, to spell the name of any
person in company, to distinguish the
hour and minute of time, and perform
many other surprising feats. He trained
six turkey cocks to 60 through a regular
contra dance. He also taught turtle to
fetch and carry like dog.

Hark the watchman's hourly cry,

IF of Paradise thou dream,
And its radient splendors gleam,

EXCHANGE BANK.-We are sorry to see that
among the other notes prescribed from circula-
ton by the butchers of our town are those of the
Exchange Bank of Washington. The liberal
course of this bank towards our citizens generally
has given to it a stronger hold upon the conf
dence of the people than many of the ephemeral
institutions Of the day. Indeed, we have good
authority for saying, that this money will be re-
ceived by many of the merchants of our town,
and also to an unlimited amount at our Corpora
ton, and redeemed there either in their own or
Virginia funds. We have also heard some pretty
strong men aver that they would back up this
concern with gold and silver as far their means
went, If 1t were necessary.
The Exchange Bank deserves well at the hands
of the people of our town.
