The speech Of Mr. Grow had such a
convincing effect upon the assembly, that
the efforts Of President Grow, who was the
only darkey in the crowd who had receiv.

were totally Intellectual for the preserva-
ton Of order. The barrel upon which he
had mounted was kicked from under him,
but as he fortunately alighted upon his

that he was not prevented from fulfilling
his engagement to take tea with His Ex-l

The Two BrOthe,rs.

il The Count de Ligniyille and the Count

ancient family In. Lorraine, resembled
leach other so mpehthat vheuthey put on.

fthensfor amusement their servants could
not distinguish the one from the other
Their voice and deportment we're the

were 50 perfect that they often threw
their friends, and even their wives, int,

change, Count de Autricourt 6avine
COMMITTED some crime, the Count de Lig-
niville never suffered his brother to 20
out without accompanying him and the
fear ofnseizing the innocent instead Of the
guilty rendered the orders to arrest the
former Of no avail. One day the Count
de .Ligniville sent for a barber, and hav-
ing suffered him to shave one halfIof his
beard, he pretended to have occasion Il 90
into the next apartment, and put his night 9
gown upon his brother, who was concealed
there, and tucking the doth which he had
about his neck under his chin, made Him
sit down u the place which he had Just
quilted. The barber Immediately resumed
tis operation, and was proceeding to finish
what he had begun, as he supposed; but to
his great astonishment he found that new
beard had sprung up?l Not doubling
that the person under his hands was the
devil, he roared out with terror, and sank
down in a swoon on the floor. While
they were endeavofing To- call him to life,
Count Autricourt retired again into the
closet, and Count de Ligniville, who was
halt shaved, returned to bis former place.
This was o new cause iof surprise to tie /
poor barber, wLo now imagined that all
chad seen wasa dream, snd he could
not be convinced of the truth untilhe had
seen the two brothers together. The

Lvon's Kathairon.

This delightful article for preserving and
beautifying the human hair is again put up by
the original proprietor, and is now made with
the game care, skill and attention, which first
created its immense and unprecedented sales
of over one million bottles annually ! It is
still sold at 25 cents in large bottles. Two
million bottles can easily be sold in year
when it is again known that the Kathairou is
not only the most delightful hair dressing in
the world, but that it cleanses the scalp Of
scu,f and dandrutf, gives the hair lively,
rich, luxurisnt growth, and prevents it from
turning gray. These are considerations worth
knowing. The Kathairon has been tested for
over twelve years, and ia warranted as de-
scribed Any lady who values beautiful head
of hair will use the Kathairon. II ia finely
perfumed, cheap and valuable. 1t ia sold by
all respectable dealers throughout the world.

ELLsLER's ATHRNEUM representation
OF the Merchant Of Venice at the Atheneum
last night was one that might well challenge
comparison. Mrs. Waller's Shylock was COM
plete in voice, gesture and manner. Il brought
before the spectator the living avaricious, sor-
did, revengeful usurer. II showed that the &C.
trees had rightly conceived and was able faith
fully to portray this unlovely masculine charac-
ter.
The trial scene was particularly fine. Mrs.
Ellsler as Porta acquitted herself handsomely
In the dspensation Of Justice to both Antonio
and Shylock. Antonia's meekness and pa
thence, as exhibited by Mr.. Dickson, excited
both pity and admiration. Mr.. McCollom's g
Gratiano was nobly done and often drew forth
applause. Bassanio in the person Of Mr.. Stu
art, was well represented. But We have NOT
time to specify oil the characters. Suffice TO
say, that as general thing they oil received
ample justice at the hands of their several
representatives.

TIE SoLDIEa's RETURN M.-It must be pleasant
to the weary spirits of our returning soldlers--
wounded and MANNED though so many are--to
find that they have an enduring place In the al
feotions and estsem OF their grateful fellow
countrymen. The best wishes and generous
assistance of our people will never for them be
invoked In vain. And this is right We notice
with pleasure the many expressions of regard for
our returning volunteers. Among them, the
numerous friends of Joseph High propose get
ting up a testimonial Of their regard this
Thursday evening, March 5, in Social Re-
union at Naughton Hail. Mr.. High was indus
trious and useful as a citizen, and stood de
servedly high as a soldier. Connected with the
81 Ohio, he was among the first responding to
the call Of our country. He was badly wound
ed at Cheat Mountain, and is disabled so as 10
be unable to perform the active duties of life
We hope the call of his friends will be respond
ed to by our people with an enthusiasm credit
able to ourselves and our country.

SPEcTAcLEs AND OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS -
These may be obtained Of Professor Polachek
at Studer's on State street, who manufactures
and imports the best articles of the kind. The
Professor has had long experience as ecien-
tifc and practical Optician, and therefore in
the selection of spectacles and optical glasses
may be relied upon. As the sight is among
the most useful as we'll as the most delicate Of
the human faculties, every precaution should be
used In Its preservation, and especially should
caution be observed, lest while attempting to
aid It, we ipjure it permanently. A practical
and scientific Optician like Professor Polacbek
should always be consulted.
