HsOR restoring hair upon bald heads
= (trom whatever cause it may have fal-
len ont) and forcing growth Of hair upon
the face, it has no equal. 1t will force tie
beard, to grow upon the smocthest face in
from five to eight weeks, or hair upon bald
heads in from two to three months. a few
ignorant practitioners have asserted that
there is nothing that viii force or hasten
the growth OF the hair or beard. Their as
sertions are false, as thousands OF living
witnesses (from their own experience) can
bear witness But many Will say, how are
we to distinguish the genuine from the
spurious? 1t certainly is difficult, Is nine
tenths ofthe different Preparations advcr-
tise1 for the hair and beard are entirely
worthless, and yon may have already
threwn away large amounts in their pur-
chase. TO such we would say, Try the Re-
parator Capilli; it will cost you nothing
unless it fully comes up to our representa-
tions. Ii your Druggist does not keep it,
send us one dollar and we will forward it,
postpaid, together with ~ receipt for the
money, which will be returned You on ap-
plication, provided entire satisfaction is

- A French journal relates story of a
wealthy farmer who died many years ago,
and on digging grave in clcse proximity
to where he had been buried, the bones
were accidentally exlumed. On examina-
ton, brilliant PARTICLES Of a metallic lustre
were found, which on being collected pre-
sented a considerable quantity Of oxide OF
mercury. Thus for thirty-fve hemerc,lry
had been preserved almost without altera-
ton in the body Of the deceased, who had
probably made frequent use Of the metal
during the latter part of his life.

All honest men attend and hear
The serious fact-the times are dear;
Who owes bill, It's just as clear
As starlight in TIC winter,
That de should come without delay
That's if he can-that bill to pay,
And ere lie puts his purse away,
HFork over" to the Printer.
The Printers cheek is seldom red,
The fine machinery of his head
Is working when you ein bed,
Your true and faithful Monitors"
And day and night he wears his shoes,
And brains to furnish you with news;
But men of conscience ne'er refuse
To pay the toiling Printer.
IT'S known Or ought to be, by all
His dues are scattered, and they're small,
And if not paid, he's bound to fall
In debtor fael. bread, rent or
Perhaps this paper; then to square
Up with his help-a double care
Bows down his head-now, is it fair
That you don't pay the Printer!
The cats will NEW between your feet
The dogs will bite you in the street,
And every urchin that you meet,
viii roar with voice of Stentor,
Look to your pockets-there he goes
The chap that wears the Printers clothes
And proud, though everybody knows
The grub he gnaws, the Printer"

The tax on cotton viii doubtless be repealed

late to fool the South into growing cotton to

will not help us, and may be unable to
help himself, though uneonstitutionally

ions, we feel on the subject as did the
venerable old lady whose husband fought
the bear, or perhaps rather as the Indian
did who lost his squaw, and said he felt
shamed. We feel rather Indifferent after
ALL and somewhat ashamed of the IN
mastery inactivity of our Washington
champion. We can care little who
whips, so one does and done with it, for
it is as we'll things should 60 down hill

I@~ The testimony of General Grant
Oh our first page will be read with inter-
est, and presents Grant as disposed to
degree of lenience toward the Southern
leaders to which Mr. johnson was not
inclined. johnson, being fully advised,
was not willing to respect the parole of
Lee to the extent that it shielded him
from punishment This is going behind
the curtain. Grant could see no sense in
the $4,000 exception; johnson saw in
it the wealthy classes at his feet. Grant
thought that man should not be singled
out for punishment for the misfortune of
having property or talent; johnson saw
that excepting them from amnesty en-.
abled him to hold the power and con-
trolling influence of the South in his fist
But for want of nerve to WELD the power
be possessed, Johnson has admirably
succeeded in raising up host of enemies
and securing considerable number Of
lukewarm friends.

B6- From dispatch to the Vicksburg
Times it appears that Colonel McCardle
has been returned to the custody Of the
military, and, having appealed to the
Supreme Court, admitted to bail in one
thousand dollars, the case having been
ably argued on habeas corpus before
Judge Hill, OF the United States Circuit
Court for Mississippi. If the judges in
Mississippi dare not or will not pro-
nounce the law, We cannot imagine any
good reason why they should continue to
hold mock courts When the military is
supreme over the civil law, the instru-
ments of that law are superhuous. But
we suppose the courts are kept open, as
some of the white people of the provinces
are permitted to vote, just to save
appearances
