PROF. o. ]. WOOD-Dear Sir: Some time last
summer we were induced to use some Of yonr Hair
Restorative, and its effects SO wonderful, we
feel it duty to you aud the afflicted to report
it.
Our little sons head for scme time had been
perfectly covered with sores. and some called it
scad head. The hair almost entirely came off in
consequence, when friend, seeing his sufferiDgs,
advised us to your Restorative, we did so with
little hope of success, but to our surprise, and
that of all our friends very few applications re
moved the disease entirely, and and luxuri-
ant crop OF hair soou started cut, and We can now
say that our boy has as healthy scalp, and IS
luxuriant A crop of hair as any ether child. We
therefore, and do hereby commend your Re-
storative, rs perfect remedy for all diseases Of
the scalp and hair. We are. yours respectfully,

The Story of n Jack Knife.

The Boston Ledger tells the following: In
1885, a youth then residing in Maine, owned
jack knife which he, being of a somewhat
trading disposition, sold for gallon of West
India rum. This he retailed, and with the
proceeds purchased two gallons, and eventually
barrel, which was followed in due time with
large stock. In word, he got rich, and be-
came the squire OF the district through the
possession and sale of the jack knife, and an
ndomitablc trading industry. He died worth
property in real estate and money to the value
OF $4,000. This was divided by testament
among four children, three boys and a girl.
Luck, which seemed to have been the guardian
angel of the father, deserted the children; for
every folly and extravaganza they could en-
gage in seemed to occupy their exclusive at
tention and cultivation. The daughter married
unfortunately, and her patrimony was soon
thrown away by her spendthrift Of a husband.
The sons were no more fortunate, and two OF
them died of dissipation and in almost pow
erty.
The daughter also died. The last of the
family, for many years past has lived on the

had laid himself down to take drunken Sleep
On his pockets being examined all that was
found in them was small piece of string and
a jack-hnJs! So the fortune that began with
the implement of that kind left its simple du-

whatever fashion it may suggest itself to the
reader-simply stating that the story is true

Reading Out,

A gentleman who has on several occasions
been entrusted with responsible offices, by his
party in Kentucky, communicates to the Bards
town (Ky.) Gazette the following:
Let the friends Of the Administration at
tempt reading out of the party those who will
not bow down and worship the Lec0mpton

us stand by the right, whether the Black Re-
publicans are for or against it. We arc pledged
BY our platform, by our solemn promise to the
North, to leave thi; cursed question of slavery
to the people of the Territory as well as
all others. An overwhelming majority Of the
people of Kansas are opposed to the Lecomp-
ton constitution. Then, as Democrat, am
opposed to it-opposed to forcing it upon pro-
testing people-even if they are Free. soileis"

The Triumph Of Mind over Matter.

DIR. Elder, in his interesting Biography of DR..
Kane, relates that he once asked him after his
return from his last Arctic expedition, 'for the
best proved instance that he knew of the soul s
power over the body-an instance that might
push the hard-baked philosophy of material
ism to the consciousness Of its own idocy."
He paused moment and then said, with a
spring, "The soul can lift the body out of its
boots, sir. When our captain was dying-I
say dying; 1 have seen scurvy enough to

Since the advent Of the slavery question
into the. active politics of this country, the
tests Of loyalty to the South have undergone
so many and such various changes that it is
difficult now to tell exactly how man must
stand to occupy a position Of undoubte1 re-
spectability amongst the friends of the "pecu
liar institution" and we must admit the i'm.
pressions left upon our mind by what we have
read Of our country's history shows very diff
ferent requirements now to what they were
forty years ago, among pro-slavery men. We
had always thought, until within few years
past, that the Missouri Compromise was pet
institution Of Southern men, and that TO say
that it was founded on justice was enough to
insure the veriest down-east Yankee warm
reception among us. Such, too, was the i'm
preston Of very many whose earnest wish
was to be true to the South and when the
superior judgement Of the generation Of 1850
discovered that Mr.. CLAY and his compeos
had done slavery grevious wrong by the test
they had established, It must have been shock.
ing, indeed, to the nerves Of every Southern
patriot TO so suddenly discover the dangerous
hercsics which for thirty years he had main
taincd. Republican governments must, in their
nature, be progressive, though, and the pro-
gress Of that one short year has indeed donc
much to shape the destiny Of our free country.
The end Of our perfection, though, was not
there and we are now again to be turned away
from our new. tangled love Of the peoples SOW
creignty, and must agree to force slavery down
the threats Of every people, nation, and kind
red, whether they want il or not, before our
loyalty to the great rights of the South will
be deemed acceptable to those who hold its
destiny in their hands. Now such frequent
changes Of the pro-slavery test are not all
comfortable to men like oursclf whose earnest
wish is to be both consistent and Southern in
our sentiments and we are sure that our own
test, which we have set up for oursclf to 90 for
that which is righ', regardless Of consequences,
will in the end be the best course to pursue !;
and therefore, seeing that the position Of ul.
trasts in the South is constantly shifted from
one platform to another, is it not reasonable to
expect that il we pursue straight forward
course, they will keep on until they get right
again and finally be with us, working for that
which the whole country win acknowledge to
be patriotic H-Mayspiuo Ky. Eagle.

The Leaders Of the Lecompion Party.

Among the principal leaders Of the Lecomp-
ton party, we find the names Of Hon John A.
Dix, the Free-soil candidate for governor of
New York in 1913; John Cochrane, the author
of the Buffalo platform resolutions, and noto-
rious Free soil leader, until he found chance
of securing good office by wheeling suddenly
into the Democratic line; and John Van Buren,,
who few years ago proclaimed in letters and
speeches that no more slave States should ever
come into the Union.
These men opposed the Democratic nomina-
tion of Lewis Cass for the presidency in 184s,
and were mainly instrumental in defeating his
election, by running an opposition candidate.
About the same time these "Free-soilers" were
battling against Democratic measures and men
in the North, Stephens, Toombs, and others Of
that ik, were denouncing the "yile Democ-
racy" in the South.-The States.
