PoLYGAMY IN KAFFIRLAND.-Polyg is uni
versally admitted throughout all Katfraria; nor is
there any legal limit to the number of wives. But
in Kaifrland man is not entitled to choose his
wife or wives; his wishes are in great degree
subordinate to the "intentions" of those who have
daughters to settle in life. The number of wives
therefore, is generally proportional to the wealth
of the husband The refusal of bride is con-
sdered an insult to the family to be expiated only
by the plumber of the offenders kraa or BY his
blood An old man, if wealthy, is therefore, sure
to be burthened with Large establishment and
he is frequently obliged to accept young wife
when his feelings would rather lead him to decline
the profered happiness.
The average number Of wives to each married
man among the common people is said to be about
three; but the old Kaffr lawyers who have
amassed wealth in the pursuit of q lucrative pro-
fession, are known to have had as many as ten
forced on them, and these ladies' not long in
learning the art of dissipafing fortune, or of
bringing their niggardly lord to his grave. A
Kaffr, moreover, is obliged not only to take any
wife that may be offered to him. but to pay for her
though the transaction is not regarded in the light
of purchase. The original idea was that the
G consideration should be held as deposit or
security for the proper treatment of the woman
and as token Of the husbands regard and ac-
eordingly, girl considers herself as sighted if the
usual honorarium has not been given her parent
A young bride has been known to run away from
her husband when she discovered that she has not
been paid for. If she was not worth paying for.
she said, she was not worth having.
SAND PILLARS,-i nave often witnessed a phenO-
menon on these sandy plains Of Central Asia,
which accounts, in some measure, for the innumer.
able sandy mounds that are found in some regions
When seen at distance for the first time it made
strong impression my mind About twenty
pillars were in view, wheeling round and licking
up the sand. AS they passed along, cloud Of
dust was raised on the ground, apparently eight or
ten yards in diameter. This gradually assumed
the form of column, that continued to increase
in height and diameter as it moved over the plain,
appearing like mighty serpent rearing his head
aloft, and twisting his huge body into contortions
in his efforts to ascend.
The pillars were of various sizes, some twenty
and thirty feet high Others fifty, sixty. and one
hundred feet. As the whirlwinds began gathering
up the dust, one might have faneied that ante
dilugian monsters rising into life and activity
The small ones seemed to trip it lightly over the
plain, bending their bodies in graceful curves as
they passed each other; while those of larger di-
mansions reyolved with gravity, swelling out their
trunks they moved onward, till the sandy fabric
suddenly dissolved, forming great mound, and
creating cloud of dust that was swept over the
desert. [From Atknsons Travels in the AMOR

BATH, Maine April l8, 1859.
Prot. o. j. Wood 4 C0.-Gents.: The letter l
wrote to you in 1856 concerning your valuable Hair
Restorative, and which you have published in this
vicinity and elsewhere has given rise to numerous
inquiries touching the facts in the case The inqu-
res are, first is it fact of my habitation and
as stated in the communication; second is il true of
all therein contained; third does my hair still
tnue to be in good order and of natural color? To
all can and do answer invariably, yes. My hair
is better than in any stage of my life for forty
years past more soft, thrifty and better coored !;
the same is true Of my whiskers and the only cause
washed off by frequent ablution of the face when,
if care were used by wping the face in close con-
necton with the whiskers, the same result will fol-
low as the hair. | have been in the receipt of a
great number of letters from all parts of New Eng
land, asking if my hair still continues to be good;
as there is so much fraud in the manufacture and
sale of the various compounds well this it has
no doubt been basely initiated and used, not only
without any good effect but to absolute injury.
| remain dear sir, A. @. RAYMOND.
The Restorative is put up in bottles of three sizes,
viz; large medium, and small; the small holds !
pint and retails for 81 the medium holds at least
20 per cent. more in proportion than the small and
retais for 80 the large holds quart, 40 per cent
more In proportion and retas for SO.

The office of Prescriptionist is as properly sepa-
rated from that of Physician, as the part of the
mechanic who puts work together from that of the
Architect who plans it. The art of prescribing and
the art of compromising medicines are two different
professions, requiring different training for prof.
cheney in either. But the latter is of equal respon
sibility with the sormer demanding safe qualif-
cations thorough Pharmaceutical education and
long practical experience in the manipulation o.
drugs To meet these important requirements,
have employed as my prescriptionist, Mr.. SHERMAN
