~FoR MORE THAN TWENTY

BrFOR MORE THAN TWENTY
years MATHEWS VENETIAN HAIR DYE has
stood the test Of trial, and is constantly increasing
in public favor.
THE VENETIAN HAIR DYE is the best and
cheapest made. Its price is only 70 cents, and each
bottle contains double the quantity Of dye in those
usually sold for 81.
THE lair DYE is manufactured by q peculiar
process, which renders it infinitely superior to any
dye in market. Being complete in one bottle, no
preparation is required, which greatly simplehcs
the application.
IN USING THIS 7 you avoid that RUSTY,
DEAD appearance by which dyed-hRir and whiskers
are so readily recognized, when an inferior article
mas been used, as it produces a perfectly natural
color of any shade that is required, from q rich
brown to a ietty, ~iustrous black, that will not smut
crock or stain the clothing. Invest IS cents, and
you will be convinced. Seld by all Druggists and
Fancy Goods Dealers.

The Herald's Washington dispatch says
the settlement of back pay and accounts of
discharged soldiers will be much facilitated
by sending their discharge papers direct to
the office of Colonel Paulding, Paymaster in
charge of the District of Washington. By
this means the long delay occasioned by
soldiers accounts to the Second Auditors
Office will be avoided. This is understood
to apply only to cases where the applicant
is living.

LECTURES GRAVE AND GAT.-We shall
| nave our fill of lectures this week. On
Tuesday evening, the 18th inst, Right Rev.
erend Bishop Thomas Clark, of Rhode Is
land, will deliver the fourth lecture of the
course, on the fertile subject: "The Living
Machine" He will be followed on the next
wednesday, evening by the brilliant
humorist, R. ]. De Cordova, whose discourse
on "The Law in Re-Hidge Us. Midge," is
described by the Metropolitan press as a
most irresistible production. The New
York Leader speaks thus of this popular lee
turer and his lectures
The second lecture Of his present course
was given to a large, fashionable, intelligent
and a~ppreciative audience last Tuesday
evening. Like all kindred efforts of its
author, it was, in q literary and humorous
sense, refined gold" The "Trumpeter"
will not only entertain all who listen to its
much toward abating a recognized nuis-
ance. Every hit, and they were " hard and
often, J" was responded to in a manner not
less fiattering to the q" method of the ora
tor, than creditable to the taste of his hear
ers- Next week he enters into the mystic
labyrinth of the may law, and all who de-
sire advice are commended to the tender
merciss of Counsellor Cordova. The. Asses
sor will do well to exact the ten dollars re-
ouired by Uncle Sam from every limb of the
legal tree, and he will be glad to receive
that amount from the officer for our advice.

HISTORY OF THE RISE ANB INFLUENCE OF THE
Spirit OF RAFIoNALIsM IN EUROPE. By
W. E. H. Lecky, NJ. A. In two volumes.
New York: D. Appleton & Co. 1865.
This is a work of quite extended research,
and therein has great value. But the con-
viction grows in the mind of the reader, that
the author is a partisan, and is endeavoring
rather to make ease than to let the case
make itself; that he rests universal conclu-
sions on too narrow foundations, and the
broadcast possible concentrations on an in
sufficient array of facts. For this reason
the book may work mischief in the minds
of the unprepared, who undertake its ex-
animation. But q mind not disposed to be
run away with, or to be blown about with
every wind of doctrine, will read these vol
umes with pleasure and derive knowledge
and more or less complete satisfaction from
the conscientious study of the same.
