A new and frightfully literal
translation of the New Testament
has been printed, in which John
the Baptist is styled "John the
Dipper." Another specimen is:
''Neither do men light lamp and
put it under a corn measure, but
on a lamp-stand, and it giveth
light to all who are in the family"
This new version might suit the
rustic minister who, in a hot con-
troversy against immersion, took
for his text, "Be not carried a.
bout by divers"

WHAT CAUSES THE HAIR TO TURN
GRAY.-An English writer has re-
Gently asserted that an undue pro-
portion of lime in the system is the
cause of premature gray hair, and
advises to avoid hard water, either
for drinking pure or when CONVEX
ted into tea, or coffee, or soap, be-
cause hard water is always impreg-
mated with lime. Hard water
may be softened by boiling it; let
it become cold, then use it as be-
verage. 1t is also stated that a IL
quid that will color the human
hair black, and not stain the skin,
may be made by taking one part
of bay rum, three PARTS of olive oil,
and one part of good brandy, by
measure. The hair must be wash
ed with the mixture every morn
ing, and ina short time the use of
it will make the hair beautifully
black, without injuring it in the
least. The articles must be of the
best quality, mixed in bottle,
and always shaken before applied.

CONSERVATION among the Southern
! press-in fact many of our more in

duced their tone to a degree of
moderation, which, were the cir

be rather amusing than otherwise
1t Enthusiastically appears, how

under the own firm hand of Lieu

HEAD-QRs., WASHINGTON, d. C. !
February 18th, 1866.
To e. Rires Pollard, Esq:
SIR: The course of the Exami-
ner in every number wich | have
seen, has been such as to foster and
increase the i'll feeling toward the
Government of United States by
the discontented policy of the
Southern people. l believe it to
be for the best interests of the
whole people, North and South,
to suppress such utterance when
ever the power exists to do So
The power certainly does exist
where martial law prevails, and
will be exercised. Reluctant as l
was to pursue this course, l have
felt it my duty to pursuelit In
this instance, and as much as
dislike to interfere with the inter-
ests of individuals, / only deem it
improper and mischievous in ten
dency to revoke the order for the
of the Richmond Ex-I
aminer at this time.
Respectfully,
u. s. GRANT,
Lieutenant General.
And the following is a copy of
a circular letter addressed to De-
partment commanders:
You will please send to these
headquarters as soon as practicable,
and from time to time hereafter,
such copies of newspapers pub
ished in your Departments as
contain sentiments Of disloyalty
md hostility to the Government
n any of its branches, and state
whether such paper is habitual in
is utterance of such sentiments.
The persistent publication of arti-
les calculated to keep up a bad
tate of feeling between the peo-
lie Of the different sections of the
country cannot be tolerated, and
his information is called for with
view to their suppression, which
will be done from these headquar-
ers only, By command of Lieut..
len. Grant. /,

Tsmple Of The Mases.
THE MOSS ROSE.

The angel of the flowers, while keeping
His watch beneath a rose-tree's shade,
Filled with the rich perfume, fell sleeping
Among the winds that round him played.
His was the task to feed the roses
With distilled drops Of morning bright,
When Nature from her work reposes,
And all things kiss the brow of night.
And as he woke from sleep refreshing,
Pleased with the rose-tree's grateful shade,
He breathed for her silent blessing,
And to the modest flower said:
'Ask; Twill give thee of my treasure,
And it shall be thy virgin dover,
In meet return for all the pleasure
Thou hast bestowed on me this hour"
s'Give me some newer charm!'' He listened
A moment wondering, as in loss;
Then, as his eye with moisture glistened,
He plucked simple tuft of moss,
And in wreath its verdure twining,
He wove it round the blossom fair;
And now, behold the Moss Rose shining,
Loyeliest Of all her sisters there.
The POWER OF nEUSIC
Sing to me- love, need thy song,
need that thou should'st cheer me well;
For everything is going wrong,
And life appears an awful SELL
I've overdrawn by bankers book,
I'm teased for loans by brother John;
Last night our clerk eloped and took
Two thousand ''slugs"-sing on-sing on.
My partner proves man of straw,
And straw, alas dare not thrash;
My mortgage has gone to law,
And swears he'll have his pound of flesh
My nephew's nose has just been split
In some mad student fight at Bonn;
Ny tailor serves me with a writ
For three years bills-sing on-sing on.
My doctor says I must not think,
But go and spend month at Ems;
My coachman, overcome by drink,
Near Barnes upset me in the Thames;
My finest horse is ruined quite,
And hath no leg to stand upon;
The others knees are a sad sight,
He'll never sell-sing on-sing on.
My love, no tears9 I'll touch thee now
Thy parrot in our pond was drowned;
Thy lap-dog met furious COW,
Whose horn has saved thee many pound

For tying crackers to don;
rhy country house last night took fire.
It's down, sweet love--sing on-sing oh.

A GooD PoINr.-President
johnson made a good point on
Fred. Douglass Wednesday.
Fred. Douglass said it was nee
essary to give suffrage to the ne
groes in the South as shield of
defense against persecution. The
President told him that if the ne
groes could not live quietly and
satisfactorily among Southern peo-
pie they could move to some Sec
ton of the country where they
could live thus. There is room
for them in the New England States
and some of them can be accom-
modated on the Reserve Matta-
nooga Gazette.

Cotton in MissIsslppt.

- The Cotton growing Convention re-
Gently held at Jackson, Miss, report
that in the counties of Kinds, Madi-
son. Carroll, Claiborne and Scott, they
have received reports of only 323
planters who in 1860 employed 1924
hands, cultiFating 84,311 acres in cot,
ton, and raising GA ,631 bales. These
planters, the present year, employ
3,495 hands and have planted 81, 222
acres In cotton. ~ 9feosfg6eeg
ITO The Clarion says it is to be regret
ted that the statistics collected by the
Association are so meager as to give
the public very little idea of the ex-
tent or condition of the presen- crop.
What the public want is facts from
which they can draw their own con-
illusions. The plan of the Associa-
ton was excellent, but the people
failed to take sufficient interest in it
to furnish the required information
The whole amount of reports from
the six counties mentioned does not
include an area equal to one half of
Kinds County, and perhaps not over
one-thirtieth of the cotton of the
State, rqsr sra,.r .srtca H II
The entire cotton crop of the South
in 1860 is put down at 8, 1885, 900 bales
of 400 pounds, or A, 155,000 bales of
500 pounds. One ninth of this was
said to be made. with white labor,
leaving about four and half millions
by slave labor. Of this, Mississippi
produced 100000 bales, or nearly
one-fourth the entire crop. IF there
should be as great reduction as with
the planters reporting, in all parts of
the State, in the amount cultivated
in cotton compared with 1860, there
would be less than one half the land
planted in 1860; and if the produc-
ton should be cut off one-third it
would leave the present crop of the
State 400, 900 bales, or one-third that
of 1860. IF the same reduction
should exist in all the Southern
States, it would place the crop of 1866
at ], zoe, 900 bales We do not think
it probable that the present cropiwill
exceed these figures, and if it does
not, the price will be sure to advance
as soon as the amount can be ascer-
tanned. -era.i +asr8

the soldiers, for whom it has contract
