Prof. o. J. WooD--Dear Sir: Unsolicited, send
you this certificate. After being nearly bald for
long time, and having tried all the HAIR restora
tives extant, and having no faith in any, was in
duced, on hearing OF yours, 10 give il q trial. |
placed myself in the hands Of barber, and had
my head rubbed with good stiff brush, and the
restorative then applied and well rubbed in, till
the scalp was all aglow. This repeated every
morning, and in three weeks the young hair APP
peared, and grew rapidly from August last up to
the present time-and is now thick black and
strong, soft and pleasant TO the touch-whereas,
before ii was harsh and wiry, what little. there
was of it, and that little was disappearing very
rapidly. still use your restorative about twice
a week, and shall soon have good and perfect
crop Of hair. Now, l have read OF these things,
and who has not?--but have never hitherto seen
any case in which any PERSONS hair was really
benefited by any of the hair tonics, &C., of the
day; and it really gives pleasure to record the
result Of my experience. have recommended
your preparation TO others, and IL already has

The people here saw its effects, and have cont

DERIVATION OF THE Word "CAsH"IThere
can be no doubt, that the word cash is derived
from the Italian cassG the chest in which Italian
merchants kept their money, as do ct the pres
ent time the Spaniards in their egtd, and the
Portuguese in their cara, and the French in
their caisse.
The application of the word cash to money is
altogether English it not having correspond
ing term in any other European language.
Cash having been so inconsiderably adopted
instead of casa (chestO entries in the cash book
Gt should be chest book are made in English
contingencies in this unmeaning way: cash
Dr. and "Cash Cr.," whereas the chest, and not
the money, is DR.. for what is put into it; and
Or. for what is taken out.
Great mischief has too often arisen, as is wei
known in bankrupt courts, from the misuse o
the word cash, in which large deficiencies Otter
appear and which would not be the case if tn
word chest were used as thought to be. Instea
of the cash account in the ledger, it should b
chest account; but we have yet much to learn j
England regarding mercantile bookkeeping

POETRY. .
Thy Memory.

Thy Memory.
Into my heart q silent look
Flashed from thy careless eyes,
And what before was shadowy, took
The light of summer skies
The irst-born love was in that look;
The Venus rose from out the deep
Of those inspiring eyes.
My life, like some lone solemn spot,
A spirit passed o'er;
Grew instinct with glory not
In earth or heaven before;
Sweet trouble stirred the haunted spot,
And shook the leaf Of every thought,
Thy presence wandered Ger.
Ny being yearned and creptto thine,
As if, in times ofyore,
Thy soul hath been part of mine,
Which claims it back once more;
Thy very self no longer thine,
But merged in that delicious life,
Which made us one Of yore
There bloomed beside thee forms as fair,
There mur INJURED tones as sweet,
But round thee breathed the enchanted air,
Twas life and death to meet;
And henceforth thou alone vert fair,
And though the stars had sung for joy,
Thy whisper only sweet. L.

Mosr TREMENDOUS FEAT-Miss Kate Cooke

A BENEVOLENT CoUP.-The sons of Louis
Philippe reject the word "benevolence" used
by Louis Napoleon in the document that assigns
them share of their confiscated fortune.
'They throw benevolence in the Emperors

Jean, ''then they can't throw it where it's worse

Singular effect OF Electricity upon Negroes.

Singular effect OF Electricity upon Negroes
During the thunder storm of last Friday, q
friend related the following
gentleman residing few miles out OF town
recently carried home small electrical machine
for making some experiments. AS soon as ne
cot home. the negroes as usual fiocked around
him. eager to see what master had got. There
was a boy among these darkies that had evlnceo
a strong disposition to move things when they
wanted no moving or in other words to pllfef
occasionally. -,
"Now Jack" says his master, "look here
this machine is to make the people tell the truth
and if you have stolen anything or lied to me,
il will knock you down."
"Why MASTER" said the boy, II never lied OF
stoIan ANYTHING in my life"
"Well take hold of this" and no sooner had
the lad received slight shock, than he fell on on
his kneees and bawled out, 'Oh master dld
steal your cigars and little knife, and have lied
ever 50 many times please forgive me-"
The same experiment was tried with like sue,
cess on half a dozen Juveniles. At last an OLD
negro who had been looking on very attentiyely,
stepped up. 49, j., -. ..u n.,
masheen is well enough to scare de children
wild, but dis nigger knows better"
The machine was then fully charged, and ne
received stunning shock. He looked hrst al
his hand, then at the machine, and at last roll
inc his ewes, "Master," said he, 'it amt best 10

CoLD.-For every mile that we leave the sur
face of the earth the temperature falls FIVE de-
grees. At forty five miles distance from the
globe we yet behold the atmosphere, and enter,
strictly speaking, into the regions OF space,
whose temperature is 225 degrees below zero ;
and here cold reigns in all its power. Some
idea of this intense cold may be formed by stat
ing that the greatest cold observed in the arctic
circle is from 40 to 60 degrees below Zero; and
here many surprising effects are produced. In
the chemical laboratory the greatest cold that
we can produce is about $50 degrees below zero.
At this temperature carbonic gas becomes q
solid substance like snow. If touched it pro-
duces Just the same effect on the skin as red
hot cinder; it blisters the finger like q burn
Quicksilver or mercury freezes 40 degrees below
zero; that is, 70 degrees below the temperature
at which water freezes. This solid mercury
may then be treated as other metals, hammered
| into sheets or made into spoons; such spoons
would. however, melt in water as warm as Ice.
It is pretty certain that every liquid and gas we
are acquainted with would become solid II ex-
posed to the cold of the regions OF space. Ihe
gas we light our streets with would become wax;
oil would be in reality as hard as rock; pure
spirit, which we have never yet solidihed, would
appear like block of transparent crystal ny
drogen gas would become quite sold, ana re-
semble metal; we should be able to turn butter
in lathe like piece Of ivory; and the fragrant
odor of the flowers would have to be not before
they would yield perfume. These are 1ew OF
the astonishing effects of cold.-Septan'uS fassse
