The SECRET OF THE ALISMA's SUCCESS
EXPLAINED The hair is secreted by lit
tie Yesicle or gland, and each gland is nour-
ished and supported by minute blood-ves-
sci, and as long as these blood-vessels car
ry sufficient quantity of nourishment to
these glands, the hair will grow; but il,
from disease or any other cause, these ves-
sells become obStructed or torpid, so much
so as not to carry to these glands sufficient
quantity of blood to nourish and sustain
them, the hair will become dry and fall off
The reproduction of the hair, therefore, de-
pends upon the restoration of these small
blood-vessels to their primitive and unob-
structed circulation, which indication the
Alisma performs. 1t is absolutely necessa-
ry, before new hair can be produced, to
stimuli te the scalp by the applications of
the Alisma, which excites the blood YES
sells to an increased healthy action. Re-
member, it requires time; for if the hair
were to start as soon as the tonic was ap-
piled, it would probably be five or six
weeks before it would make its appear
ance through the skin.

THE NEW ADMINISTRATIONS.
Policy Of the Incoming Prcsident-''Ro-
tation in OHce.''

A special Washington telegram OF the 9th
instant, to the Now York Tribune, says;
The question of the Wholesale displacement
Of Jobnson's officials who hold commissions by
and with the advice and consent OF the HepuD'
iicon Senate. on the 4sh uf March next, by the
incoming administration, has been the subject
of deep consideration Gy the trlends'oi General
Grant for q long time past. The SUBJECT nav
ing lately been alluded to in conversations
with the President elect, he cmphatically de'
clared his opposition, in so many wotds,, 70 the
old Jackson doctrine that to the victors belong
tho spoils. In other words, he is opposed tc
turning men out of offic, merely 1or oplnio1s 3
sake. The purpose OF his administration Will DO
the faithful performance OF the duties OF hls
GREAT office; to see that the laws are carried
ont: that honesty and economy prevail IN til, the
pnbIic service, and that all the offices are TILED
by capable and efficient men. This Is under.
stood to mean that if an officer IN the puDllc
service has Shown peculiar fitness for MS po
sition and evidence OF his ability to perform
its functions in the highest degree OF eXcel'
lence and with honesty OF purpose, no matiel
what his political opinions may be, 1t would be
nproper to displarc that officer with enc who
1uld at least perform the duties 10 Dctter,
While it is probable that General Grant VIII
seek in the Republican party men to MI the
various offices, it is certain that he Will LOOK
more closely to the fitness OF tho candldate
than to his political services to any party; ana
that tue claims OF no man on the latter ground
merely will be considered.

negroes charged with shooting the wa tchmen
on the plantations and carrying off the crops
of the planters. They made five arrests. At

into SQUAD, and marched back to the planta-

have been murdered, and two white men were
badly hurt. All the white men had to flee to

COTTON is KING.
The New Order OF rhinSs-The Grand
Future before the South.

The Memphis Appeal, in o recent review OF
the condition of the planters of the South, con-
cludes that they are better off than ever before
and that their prospects could not well be i'm
proved.
The largest cotton crop ever raised was in
1919 9'GO which was about 5000 600 bales, real
zlng, at $50 bale. $3.50 001, 600. This year
the crop will be about 2 O0OOO bales; 1t IS
worth 500 bale, and in the aggregate s2Oo,
600. 600, or only one-6flh less than the crop Of
1850 G0. Now, to the profits of this year are
to be added some important items. Their
expenditures do not include interest. on
the money which the laborer, as slave,
was worth; nor taxes on the same !;
nor food for tho idle, the sick, the
Young, or the aged. More than tins, thclr
meuey has not been seut North tor the pur-
chase of provisions, for whatever food their
people require has been produced from their
own soil in the greatest abundance. Hence,
it is assorted that the present cotton crop
will bring in as much money as eyer was re-
ceiycd by the South from this source in her
palmiest days, though it is admitted that there
are some temporary drawbacks growing OUT OF
the ''late unpleasantness." Another condition
is equally favorable: Formerly the commission
merchant in O. measure held mortgage on oil
the planters possessions, for ho made advances
on crop before it was grown, and this contin.
ned from year to year. without . prospect of
dellverance But now, through the lnstru-
mentality of the bankrupt law, modern jubi-
Ice has dawncd, making one man rs good as
another. Thus, the South has !! new and a tair
start; and with the. certainty Of furnishing to
the m arkets of the world two hundred million
dollars worth of cotton year after year, large
portion of which will be retained among them
selves by reason OF their ncwly-ostablished
thrift ana the enlargement of the list of farm
products, Lhcy arc evidently entering upon q
course of uneXainpled prosperity. This is said
Of the staple crop Of cotton alone; but there will
be largo receipts from sugar. rice and tobacco,
and it is declared that Of themselves they
would be able, lin fifteen years, to pay off the
whole of the national debt" But if they are
wise enough to take care of themselves, this
5000, 600, 900 coming in every year will be in
vested in railroads and other improvements.
which will induce immigrants, who will add to
their population and wealth, and in time give
them that which tho North now possesses
political power. In view OF these brilliant
prospects, the North is destined to be unde-
ceived, and instead of carpet-baggers she will
send men of different cass-nlen who will
seek by industry to build up homes iu the
Sunny South; and, finally, the North and the
whele world will unite in confcsslng that, after
all, "Cotton Is King

We crossed to Cowcs, and took flv 10 Far

across the Isle OF Wight, between ivicd hedges
and past gardens Of laurel and lGurustnus. 1
found Fauingford wonderfully improved; the
little park is gom of gardening art. The mag
niGcch, Roman ilexes in front OF the house are
finer than any saw in Italy. We arrived about
three o'clock, aud were ushercd into tho draw

and great many pictures and statues added
since was there. In u minute in came Tcnny-
son. cordial al al old TREND, followed by his
wifi, as sweet aS ever, but Icebcr and older
looking. In Teu1yson himself could see no
particular change. We walked tlrona n the PARK

We dincl at SIX ii quaint room hung with

for dessert. Icnnyson and l retired to Ills
talked of poetry. Ho asked nc If l could read
his "Boadicea? thought I could. Read
it and let me sce," said lie. 81 would rather
hear yon read it," answered. Thercupon he
did so, chanting the numbering lines with great
JUNCTION. I spoke Of the idyll OF ''Guinvere'
as being perhaps his finest poem, and said
that could not read it aloud without my voice
IdlNuS luG uU Ccl ldlll p'too ECS' hu.i C"H
read it and keep my voice." he exclaimed tri
umphantly This doubted, and lie agreed to
try, after We went down. But tue irst
thing he did was to produce magnum
OF wonderful sherry, thirty years old,
which hao been sent to him by poetic
wine dealer. Such wine [ never tasted. sit
was meant to be drunk by Cleopatra or Catha-
rine of Russia" said Tcnnyson. We had two
glasses apiece, when he said, tonight yoa shall
help me drink ono of the few bottles of my
Watorloo-1Sl5. We will make 4 night of it"
The bottle was brought, and after another
glass all round, Tcnnyson took up the 'Idylls
onous chant, with unexpected falling ina:c-
tons, which cannot describe, but can inl-
tale exactly. 1t is very impressive; in spite OF
Myscir became very much excited Is he went
On. Finally, when Arthur f0rslvcs ihe Queen,
Tcnnyson's voice fairly broke. l found tears
on nv chccas, and - and hrs. Tennyson
were CRYING OIL either side OF me. He made an
effort, and went Oh to the end, closing grandiy.

Mr.. Gladstone's Later Views abo ut Am er'
lean Affairs.

Mr.. Gladstone has written letter to Mr..
Loster, New York author, the gist OF which
is contained in the following paragraph:
With respect to the opinion publicly e1-
pressed, at a period during the war, that the
South had virtually succeeded in achieving its
independence, I could not he surprised or offend
ed, if the expression ofsuch arfopinlon at sue q
time, had been treated in your work much
less kindly than the notices find at pages
529-533. l must confess that l was wrong;
that took too much upon myself in express
ine such an opinion. Yet the motive was not
bad. My ''sympathios' were then where they
had long before been, where they are now
with the whole American people.
1. probably like many Europeans, did not
understand the nature anu working OF the
American Union. l had lmoibed, consclen-
tiously if erroneou5ly, aH opinion hat twenty
or twenty-four millions of the North would bo
happier, and would bo stronger (of course as
suming that they would hold togethor) with
out the South than with it, and also that the
negroes would BE- much nearer to emancipa-
tion under Southern government, thaa un-
der the old system OF the Union, which had
not at that date (Auoust, 1882 been abandon
ed, and which always appeared to me to
place the whole power OF the North at the
command of the save5 olding interest Of the
South.
A far as regards Tho special or separate in
terest OF England in the matter, 1 differing
from many others, had always contended thai
it was best for our interest that the Union
should be kept entire.
Forgive these details on matter which has
now lost it's interest. 1 have now to conclude
by renewing my thanks, and by expressing my
most earnest desire that your country, already
so great, may grow, prosper and flourish more
and more for its own benefit, and for the bene-
fit Of the world.
Believe ME, sir. yours, &C.,
". L. GLADSTONE.
