The Capitol at Washington ought to
be very handsome building when COM
pleted, if we are to judge from its cost.
The various appropriations for its erten-
sion merely, from September, 80, 1851,
amount to "a, 1895, 900, and to com plete
this portion of the work it is estimated
that 81 1856, 1873 more will be required
making in all $5,51O,1S The est
mate for new dome is 81 500, 900 which
added to the last named sum, makes Z,
OlO, 1873. The cost of the old building
and grounds is reckoned at 5000, OOO,-
600, so that the entire cost of the Capitol
when all the Improvements now in pro-
gress are completed, will be above ten
millions of dollars. This is pretty large
expenditure, but it may be well applied
If in the end we have a structure well
adapted to its use, and which will do
honor to the architectural taste of the ma
ton.

PRESERVE YOUR HAIR.-To those who
are not aware that each particular hair
on the head is hollow tube, through
which the fluids circulate which convey
nourishment, and impart its peculiar
shade of color, it seems incomprchensible
how restoratives can produce renovating
influence. While preparations of his ma
ture were entrusted to quacks, and igno-
rant manufacturers of perfumes and cos
metics, much and irreparable mischief
was inflicted on many credulous and
deluded sufferer. But when scientific
men like Professor Wood, bring the lights
of physiology and chemistry to bear upon
the treatment Of such specialties, the re-
suit is the complete success which the
certificates ofthousands relieved suffer
ers bear testimony to. See his advertise
