PROF. WOOD
DEAR SIR: My hair had for several years been
becoming prematurely gray, accompanied with
harshncss, which rendered the constant applca-
tion Of oil necessary in Jressingit. When COM
menced using your hair restorative, about two
months ago, it was in that condition; and having
continued itsuse until within the last three weeks
it has turned to its natural color and assumed
softncss and lustro greatly to be preferred to that
produced by oils, or any other preparation have
ever used. regard itas an indispensable article
for every lady's toilet, whether to be used as q
hair restorative, ort the simple purposes of dress
ingor beautifyipg the hair. You have permission
to refer to me all who have any doubt Of its per
forming all that is claimed forit.

virtues and Magic powers of your Hair Restora-
tive. Three months since, being exceedingly
gray, purchased and soon commenced to use two
bottles; and it soon began to tell in restoring tho
silver locks to their native color, and the hair
which was before dry and harsh and falling of,
now became soft and glossy and it ceased falling
the dandruf disappeared ard the scalp lost all
the disaFrecable itching so annoying before, and
now not only look but feel young again.

Fashionable Amusements.

A correspondent writing to a ru-
raj paper from Albany thus refers to a
new amusement introduced at fashion
able parties:
New fashions have beenintroduced
into Albany by tile wives of "Honora-
BILE" gentlemen from New York city.
After a shop" at the Delevan, the
other night, one of the ladies VIII {
gave the fashions which are followed
by the country girls, "rode the ele-
plant" for the amusement of the par.
ty. This is performed thus: Two
gentlemen stoop down on hands and
knees, pillows and blankets are piled
on their backs for saddles-a tail and
trunk are made ofsuitable material
when the rider-eSS is placed upon the
saddle and carried around the room
| expect to hear that "riding the ele'
phant" is sail the go' in the rural dis
tricts.

what Capt. Job Prest says OF the
VevetabIe Kingdom.

The term vegetaDle--soinetiill
pronounced vegetables probably
derived from the peculiar long and
pointed form of the description ofes-
culents. hence originally called wedg-
eatables, then wedgetables, and rein
ed into the present term.
Annual flower plants resemble
whales, as they come up to blow.
Flowers are very warlike in their
disposition, and ever armed with
pistlls. -,
They are migratory in their habits,
for wherever they may winter they
are sure to leave in the spring, most
off them very polite and full Of boughs.
Like dandies, the coating Of many
trees is their most valuable portion
Cork.trees and boot-trees, for instance;
Grain and seeds arenot considered
dangerous except when they are about
to shoot.
Several trees, like watch-dogs, are
valuable mostly for their bark.
A little bark will make rope, but
it takes large pile OF wood to make q
cord.
Though there are no vegetable
beaux, there are numbers OF spruce
trees.
1t is considered only right anc
proper to axtrees before you fell them
Fruit trees have military character
istics: when young they are trained
they have manly kernels, and thep
shoots are straight. =,
Tares are mostly found with small
er grains, which require sowing.
Great indulgence in fruit is dan
gerous, and too free use OF melons
PRODUCES melancholy effect.
Old maids are fond Of pears-bu
cannot endure any reference to dates
Sailors are attached to bays, oys
termen to beeches, love-sick maiden
to pine.

LEGAL TENDER.-The law regula-
the payment of debts with coin, pro-
vides the following coin to be the le-
gal tender:
1. All gold coins at their respec-
tive values, for debts of any amount.
3. The half-dollar, quarter-dollar,
dime, and half-dime, at their respect
i've values for debts Of amounts under
five dollars.
8. Three-cent pieces for debts Of
amounts under thirty cents; and
4. BY the law just passed, we may
add one-cent pieces for debts of am
cunts under ten cents.
BY law Of Congress, passed some
four or five years ago, gold, instead Of
silver, was made the legal tender fol
large amounts. Those who, to gel
rid of large quantities of cents and
small coin, sometimes pay bills with
it, to the annoyance of the creditor
will perceive that is stoppage pu
to that antic by law.
Postage stamps for small amounts
are generally accepted in business
transactions, especially as remittan
ces, for fractional part of dollar.
They are the only "paper money
which is current at par value, through
out the whole United States and Ter
ri;ories Illustrated.

The New State Of superior.

The Michigan Legislature has ap'
pointed a special committee, and in.
structed it to report bill setting off
the Upper Peninsula, or that portion
of Michigan around Lake Superior,
Into State by itself" The area
of the Upper Peninsula covers about
one.third as much territory as is in
cluded in the Lower Peninsula. The
Legislature of Wisconsin has hereto
fore consented to cede the northern
portion of that State to Superior; thus,
BY taking a portion of Northern Wis
consin and Michigan, large State
the mineral State Of the Union-could
be formed.

The Pavement of London is one Of
the greatest marvels of our time. 1t
covers nearly 5000 acres, two-thirds
OF which is composed of what may be
called mosaic work, done in plain
style, and the other third Of smooth
tagging. Such series of works tar
transcends in quantity, as it excelS IN
quality, the Appian Way, which was
the wonder of ancient Rome, and
which would cut a poor figure as con,
trasted with one Of those commoneSt
streets. The ancient consular way
was but Is feet wide in the main, and
WAS filled with blocks ofall shapes and
sizes, iointed together and planned on
ly on the surface; the length OF its
obvious course, from north to south OF
Italy, was under 300 miles. Ihe
paved streets OF London number over
5000, and exceed 1900 miles in
length!
