It will force the beard te grow up. on the smoothess face in from five to eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two to three months. 4 few ignorant practitioners have asserted that there is nothing that will force or hastsn the growth of the hair or beard. Their assertions are false, as thousands of liv- ing witnesses (from their own experience) can bear witness. But many will say, how are we to distinguish the genuine from the spuriousf It certainly is difficult, as nine-tentbs of the different Preparations advertised for the hair and beard are entirely worthless. and you al ready may have thrown away large amounts in their purchase.

Gen. Sam. Cary, a newly created member of
Congress from Cincinnati, some days ago made
n speech to working and listening men in Pitts
burgh, in which he threw himself at full length
in favor Of an eight-hour law for the benefit of
the bonc-and-sinew. Waxing eloquent as he
neared the perOration of his remarks, he as
sured his hearers that:
God has set the seal OF dignity upon labor by his
example. He is farmer, and with His own hands has
planted groves and orchards and with His own hands
has scattered the seeds Of abundant hnrvests God IL
mechanic, and these fcarfuly and wonderfully made
temples OF the soul evidences OF His ingenuity ana
skill God manufacturer, and Is everywhere prepar-
ing garments for His creatures. He clothes the beasts
with skins, the Hooks with eeces and the birds with
plumage."
This does not strike us as an absolutely
original idea, and We only note it to ask the
honorable representative if all this work was
done upon the strict eight-hour plan. If not,
the illustration must inevitably argue the other
way. We have yet to learn that in any OF the
farming or manufacturing processes so elo-
qucntly set forth in the above extract, the
steam whistle sounded for labor at a. m. or
screamed "knock orr at p. M, or any other
hour. But perhaps Gen. Cary has more accu-
rate information. Perhaps he can show that
sleeps wool and birds feathers grow only
eight hours per day. If so, will he give lis the
exact facts, at any time between eight and four
by daylight-Sundays exceptcdP

From the extended and exclusive report of
frauds on the customs, printed ION the second
page of the present issue, it will be seen that
the authorities are working with unusual
energy, a prominent Democrat and Spanish
commission house near the Battery being among
the principal sufferers. In Oden time the
smuggler was a grulf, groggy red faced sea
captain, who ran a black, trim-built lugger
along our coasts in tempestuous weather. and
landed his goods at some Out-of-the-way point,
at the risk of his life but the smuggler OF the
present day dresses in broadclOth, visits ms
counting-Toom in regular business hours, spends
his Evenings in fashionable club houses, and
puts his mite in the cOntributi0n-box on the
Sabbath. The incidents specified in our report
have all occurred within few weeks. Owing
to the secrecy necessarily employed in the de-
lection of revenue frauds, it would be improper
to detail the mancuvcrs of the detectives, and
we have therefore, only given general out
line of the operations in question. Smuggling
is now evidently one of the tine arts, but the
recent energy infused il the Surveyors De-
partmcnt bids fair to strip it of its distinctive
features.

ORR LAW DEPARTNENT.

AS Charles Lamb and n friend were passing
through the lower purlieus OF London they
saw two women violently scolding each other
from the upper windows of their respective
tenements. which happened to be on opposite
sides of the street. "Why, these women can
"never agree" remarked Lamb; they are
"arguing from opposite promises" The Cltl-
zens' Association and the Hon. Richard OGor-
man seem to be arguing from opposite premises.
You have expended too much money i'll en-

Cooper. "Their services were indispensable,

"You have charged $4,000 for your own extra

"ness," says Mr.. Peter Cooper. O. Mr. OConor

the Hon Richard Q'GOrman. Judgments to a
"vaSt amount have been entered against the
"City' charges the Association. THAT Is be-
"cause the Legislature refused to pass approprla-
"tions adequate to pay the debts which their laws
compelled the City TO incur" replies Mr. OGor-
man. "You have not properly protected the City
" in various tigatiOns,n charges the Association.
"You are misinformed as to the nature OF
those ltigations while |, as the proper law
officer of the City, understand them perfectly,
and have conducted them with signal ability,

Equally pure aDd declares that the scales balance

turns and rends his pursuer, the Association
which be declares merely "uses the names OF
its officers as a respectable stalking-horse
" from behind which it hurls its poisoned
" arrows Mr.. O'Gorman has made very fan
showing, but the public will not commit the
error of the Dutch justice, by deciding in favor
of the last speech, until they have heard tho

The lobby has mustered in strong force in
Washington, and it seems clear that Congress
will be pressed with unusual energy for enor-
nous appropriations for every conceivable pur-
pose. But the people are in no mood now for
extravaganza. They will insist upon the most
rigid economy in every branch of the public
service Additional bounties, additional pay
for public servants, expenses for unnecessary
committees salaries for useless employees, and
all the other familiar expedients for depicting
the public treasury, must be stopped at once.
Gen. Graht has set a good example OF re-
trenchment in the War Department, and all
the other branches of the Government must be
made to follow it.

The conservative Prime Minister Mcnabrea,
is said to have issued another note, i'll which
the invasion of the Papal States by France is
severely denounced. Thus far the notes of
France have been more severe than those of
Italy; but the great unanmity of the Italian
nation on the subject of national unity, and the
universal sympathy with which the Italian
cause meets in all Europe, is well calculated to
inspire King Victor Emmanuel and his advisers
with greater frmmcss. The next session of the
Italian Parliament, which will meet on the 9Th
of December, promises to be of unusual inter
est. 1t is expected that Ratazzi will be the
President of the Chamber Of Deputies.
