SPECIAL NOTICES.

PRESERVATION OF THE HAIR In all ages
and among almost all tribes of men, bean
uiul mead of hair has been, and Stills, re-
garded as the fairest ornament of the fairest
works OF the Creator. The patrician danes
ana uamsels of ancient and modern Rome
bestowed that attention upon the hair which
has added the GROWING beauty to the chef Il
cure OF the sculptor, and the painter, and
no lady, and indeed no gentleman of modern
times is unmindful of this exquisite shield
ana lovely ornament ofthe race. To maiden
beauty 1t is the finishing touch; to manhood
II is the symbol and warrant of strength and
nobility, to-day as in the days of the patri-
aIchs indeed, such it always has bee n and
always will be-
But unable as we are to withstand the ills
OF time and life, it often happens that through
uisease ana misfortune We become gray in
early life, and bald before we reach the full
grace of womanhood or the full stature of
manhood. Then it is that however much we
may venerate the gray locks and reverence
the wisdom of bald heads among the honor
eu remnants of the generation of three score
ana ten, we know that our gray hairs are no
more venerable than beautiful while our
paid heads are neither the one or the other
put, on the contrary, are quite the reverse of
ooth, and impose upon us many social and
sanitary disad vantages and discomforts.
Ihen 1t is that the man who can reliever
OF the misfortune, and restore the heecy locks
10 thelr original color and growth becomes a
real friend and benefactor, by the force of
inns single exhibition of his genius and skill.
ana much as we are opposed to empiricism,
ana cmpiric AS We instinctively regard the
pretenslons ofevery one proposing to accom-
piiSh such miraculous work, until we have
seen the triumph ofbis undertaking we new
ertheiess esteem it a pleasure, resting upon
our absolute knowledge of its merits to re-
commend Professor Woods Hair Restorative
as the best article ofthe kind with which we
are acquainted, and one which has done, I'M
her our own observation, all that it claims
ana 1t claims everything implied in its name.
rms article, in short, will restore gray hair
10 us original color, and add to its growth
ana beauty wherever any blight or disease
mas checked that growth, or marred that
beauty. This has been proved in our own
family within few weeks. and in numerous

edge OF the proprietor. We have only to add

The Dissolution of the Republican
Party.

The elections are over, and the results
are before the people, for them to draw
such differences as they may, and they
have but little general interest only as
indicating the character of future results.
1t is clear that New England is over.
whelmingly Republican, New York has
probably been carried by the Democrats
by small majority, but on issues, which
in no way effect the great question of the
day. New York. if the true sense of its
people could be takeu,is as true to liberty
as Vermont, or Massachusetts. Penn
sylvania, too, gives decided evidence of
growth in political wisdom, such, as in
a campaign of national interest, would
almost certainly bring it on to the right
side of the line. The whole North west
even to Minnesota SO far as We have Ony
means of judging is all right.
The election 10 Kansas is the one TO
which most interest attaches, and strange
as it may seem, our adversaries find in
their defeat, their greatest encour-
|agemcnt, They believe, or affect to be-
lieve, that the success of Republcauism
there must as consequence be followed
10y total dissolution of the party, that il
has lived upon the perils of Kansas and
with them it must die. We could wish
fbis were true aud that there were no
farther work for us to do.
The Republican party, like any other
great party, was the result of causes.
Which could have resulted in nothing

LIBERTY FADING Our 1t is a curl
Gus fact (says tho Adrian Erpositer.)
that in the various Issues of coin from
the U. s. Mint. the motto Liberty"
ever since the first years Of our govern
ment, or ever since slacery began to be
profitable, has been gradually fading
from our na,iuna currency, until upon
the last issue. the new cent, the "Libcr
ty" is lef; off entirely. We take at
random from our wallet two halfdol'ars
One Of the date 1884 a the Liberty
is bound 'as fronilet' upon the image
on the coins in fair bold letters Tue
other is of S55; aud the Liberty is on
a shield, 10 much smaller letters. and
the shield cast down upon the ground
the Liberty on the coin Of 1855 being
only about half the size of that Of 1884
and much less prominent il position.
And, as we have said. upon the new cent
of 1857, there is no Liberty.
The EIpoSiter gives very plausible
explanation of the reason why The
Shareholders regard this coin motto
Liberty-as Of incendiary character
They are afraid that the purport aud
significance of the motto might be too
much inquired irto by the slaves; and
hence the systematic work which has
been carried on to obliteratc, or render
as obscure as possible, this mark upon
all coin likely to pass through the hand!
