Mark Twain on Car PeddIers.

And then there were the peddlers.
I bought out the popcorn boy to get
rid of him, because | was trying to COM
pose a poem for young lady's album,
and did not want to be dis turbed.
But he came right back with stock
of peanuts. I took few and hurried
him away, and he returned with some
ice cream, candy aud peanuts to-
gether; but invested at once, because
an inspired rhyme had been born to
me, and [ wanted to set it down be-
fore it slipped my mind.
Then the scoundrel came back to
me with tobacco and cigars, and after
ward with oranges, imitation ivory
whistles, fg-pas5e and apples; and
then he went away and was gone some
time, and then | was encouraged to
hope the train had run over him. He
was only keeping his malignant out
rage to the last. He was getting his
literature ready. And from that time
forward that degraded youth did
nothing but march from. one car to
another, and afflict the passengers
with specimen copies of the Vilest
blood aud thunder romanees on earth.
The Perjurer's Doom" and +" The
DesperaGo's Revenge, were some of
his mildest works; and on their
backs were pictures of stabbing af-
trays and duels. and people showing
other people over precipices, aud
wretched wood cuts Of women being
rescued from terrific perils of all
kinds-and they are always women
who are so criminally hOmely that
any right minded man would take a
placid satisfaction in seeing them suf
fer q sudden and violent death.
But that peddler-boy peddled
these precious books right along for
hours together, and I gave up my
poem at last, and devoted all my en-
ergies to driving him away, and try
ing to say things that would make
him unhappy. aff

The Burial OF Gen. Morgan.

From the Louisville Courier (RebeD.l
We give In another column a de-
tailed account of the Obsequies of
General John III. Morgan, which on
yesterday, amid the people who had
known and loved him, and the SOL
diers who had so often followed him
to victory, were celebrated at Licking
tou, his old home. To this people,
with whom his name is a household
word, and his fame as familiar as the
air they breathe, no explanation is
necessary of the interest and enthu-
siasm which has been aroused In
Kentucky by the knowledge that the
remains of her heroic son we're about
70 be placed for final rest within her
bosom. We learn that. Inadequate
as has been the notice heralding an
event so sure to stir the feeling and
elicit the sympathies of Kentuckians,
the streets of Lexington were throng-
ed with earnest men and women,
whose hearts have gone out lovingly
toward the cause which Gen. Morgan
died to defend and many a manly
breast was moved to sorrow, and
many a bright eye was filed with
tears, as the lifeless form passed by,
remembering how but few years ago
it lowered in the front of battle, or
graced with surprising destinations
the halls where chiValry bowed to
beauty.
Never, we learn, has a deeper and
more touching interest been mani
tested upon any occasion, and the
elite of Kentucky were gathered to
pay honor to her most cherished hero.
The arrangements were admirably
conceived and perfectly executed, and
the good fortune which so long aided
the genius Of the deceased, seemed to
preside over this last tribute to his
memory. The beautiful sky smiled
approval-the balmy air waited per-
fumes to his graves-the winds wills
pered softly, as if not to distub his
rest, and the influence which the
ehieftain could so wonderfully exert
when living seemed to martial the
hosts which gathered around his bier.

HAIR VIGOR,
For the Renovation Of the Hair.
The GREAT BEsDERATUM Of the Age.

A dressing which is at once agree
able, healthy, and effeetual for pre-
serving the hair. Faded on gray hair
IS soon restored to its original color,
and the gloss and freshness Of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Nothing
can restore the hair where the folli-
cles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness by
this application. Instead of fouling
the hair with a pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. It's occa-
sional use will prevent the hair from
turning gray or falling of, and conse-
Quently prevent badness. Free from
those deleterious substances which
make some preparations DANGEROUS
and injurious to the hair, the VigoI
