as she took some money from Mrs
Brown, "It won't be so that can do
your washing again"
1T has been great favor 70 have
you do it while have been so poor.

to pay you for it. This makes four

newspaper" exclaimed Mr.. Heath, as
the truth flashed across him. Rather

"Of what z" asked his wife.
"Why to have you 60 out wash

to-"
"Well, I don't know" replied the
wife, "when man is too poor to
take a newspaper, his wife ought
not to feel above going out wash
ing"
Nothing more was said on the sub.
iect at that time, though some ill-feel

making up was no mawkish scene ol
kissing, embracing and crying, such
as romance writer's build their useless
fabrics with but as Mrs. Heath was
finishing her household duties for the

A party Of surveyors in Arizona, en-

A party OF surveyors in Arizona, en-
ga ged in exploring the country for
railroad routes, lately came upon 2me
very extensive ruins on The banks of
the Little Colorado rver. They ex-
tend along ths river for many miles.
Some Of the walls OF buildings are yet
in their places, and stand six or ght
feet high. The streets may be traced
tor miles. The old irrigating canals
and bitches are yet in a fair state OF
preservation, and may be traced for
miles also. The ground is strewed
with broken crockery-ware. The party
found some nearly whole vessels of Gu
rious form. The ware seems to be of
different quality, and finer than that
found at most of the ruins in Arizona.
Many Of the walls Of the buildings
were built OF hewn stone, and put up
in workmanlike manner To all APP
pearances there once stood a city of
many thousands OF inhabitants. Who
they were or to what tribes they be-
longed there is no record left to show.
On the eat bank are the ruins Of q
large structure or castle, covering sew
eral ceres of handsome of the walls
are yet standing to the hight of 20 or
80 feet.

BALD HEAD.-One cause is wearing
tight hats. Both felt and fur are too
close, and cause the head to sweat (;
this expands or swells the scalp, loos-
ening the hair at the roots, and it soon
begins to 1all off, Then ''tonics" are
applied, followed with heating oils, and
other preparations Of grease, aud final
ly the scalp becomes diseased, and a
head Of beautiful hair is destroyed
Remedy: keep the head cool, wear
straw hats, keep the scalp clean by Us
ing soft water and fine toilet soap; an
| if any hair dressing be used, very,
rsry little sweet oil is the least objec-
tionable. Ladies seldom become bald
and they do not wear close hats. Their
beautifully" small bonnets are no OBJ
struction to free circulation.-Phrss

PRAYER.


PRAYER.
By JOHN WHITTIER
The harp Of natures advent strung,
Has never ceased to play;
The song the stars of morning sung,
Has never died away.
And paryer 10 made, sna praise is given
BY all things near and fer;
The ocean looksth up to heaven,
And mirror. every star.
Its waves are kneeling on the land,
As kncels the human saee
Their white loc..s boviag TO the strand
The priesthood OF shs sea,
They pour their glittoring treasures forth ;
Their gift Of pearls they bring,
And all the glistening hill oi earth
Take up the song they sing.
The blue sky is the temples arch.
It's transept earth and air,
Tn. music OF the starry march,
The chorus of prayer.
So nature keeps the reverent frame,
With which her years began,
And all her signs and voices shame
The ayerless heart Of man.

Panic at the Postofice-A Deficiency Of
S7,O00,000.

Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Gazette.l
WASHINGTON, October 30.-There has
been an official panic at the Postoffice
Department to-day over the premature
publication of figures, showing the cons
dition of that Department. furnished by
the Auditor for Mr.. Randall's forthcom-
ing report. The annual exhibit will show
a large increase in the annual deficiency,
amounting to several millions over any
previous year. The excess Of expendi-
lures over receipts the present year will
reach within few Thousand dollars OF
81. 000, 900, Notwithstanding the receipts
this year are 100000 more than last
year. In 1865, under Gov. Dennison, the
Department had surplus OF $780,
600. At the close of Randalps first
year the deficiency was $l,6OO,-
600. At the close Of bis second
year It was s., 100000. This year it is
almost S7,0OO,00O. The last statement
is from the official tables for the year, ans
cannot be disputed. To-day several OF
the highest officers In the Department
made on attempt to have the Auditor
deny the published statement, but he
positively refused to do It, An attempt
was then made to have it denied through
correspondents here, but, so far as
known, without success. Some light may
be thrown on this condition of affairs by
the statement that Randall to-day closed
a contract with Wells, Fargo Il Co., for
the overland mail service, OF ga advance
of half million dollsys above the amount
Of their hid, and this only for service be-
tween the two Pacific rosds.

IF a row does not occur on some OF
The trains between here and New York
which are to carry home residents OF
Washington to vote in their respective
States next Tuesday, it will not be the
fault of ngmber Of hst-hesded hadi-
Gals, who met this evening at Republican
headquarters, on Pennsylvania avenue.
The object of the gathering was 10 devise
means for self protection against appre-
hended assaults from Baltimore rowdies
on Republicans going bone to vote for
Grant and Colfax. The lone Of the
speeches was eminently belligeraut and
boys-in-blue ish. Colonel r. j. Hinton,
who presided, made stirring address,
and was followed by Captain A. Grant
and Msjor A. F. Il. Hahn in equally bel
licose language. Grant challenged Bal
tizsore rowdies to come one, come all,
and he ana nis bsys would settle them.
He accused the Baltimore POLICE Of syn
pathy with the rowdy element, while
Hahn limited that it would not only be
good TO 20 in the trains armed and or
ganized, but, il necessary, to take charge
of the conductors and engineers. The
result Of the eloeseare was q resolution,
unanimously adopted, nos IL depend
upon the Governor Of Maryland, not toe
Mayor of Baltimore, nor President John

the judges from one party, which looks
suspicious and bad. Let then the votes be

POLLARD has been refused permission
TO examine the Confederate archives al
Washington City. The motive pretended
for the application was to show up Jefier-
son Davis, and the wrongs and weakness
of the Confederate government, which,
pretending to be a supporter OF the Con-
federacy, is all the good he ever did for
it during the war. His ambition has
"o'erleapsd itself" and be is reapiug the
contempt of all parties, which his selfish
ness and the mesnness of his attempt SO
richly merits. What was the motive OF
the prohibition of the Washington au'

yealed. Certainly no supporter OF the

Eisht Men Killed and Seven Dangerously
Wounded.

From the N. Y. Herald. October 81
A private letter from on board the
United States steamer Pawnee, at Rio
Jansiro, under date Of September "a,
mentions o remarkable and singularly
unfortunate accident as having occurred
in that pert few days previously. 1t
appears that frigate Of the Italian South
Atlantic squadron had been relieved
from duty on that station and was home,
ward bound. In passing out OF tAs har-
Dor the Paynae and the French flagship
at the time in port manned their yards
and saluted the Italian vessel as she was
leaving. She had passed the Pawnee in
safety, but in sailing too rear the flag
ship collided with the latter vessel aud
carried away her foretop gallantmast and
foretop gallant ysrdarm. The yardarm
broke in two and fell to the deck, carry
ing with it soue fftesn or sixteen men
who manned it. Eight Of the seamen
we're killed outright, being literally
crushed as they fell 10 the ships deck,
and the remainder we're all dangerously
injured. Considering the fact that such
a calamity occurred during an exchanges
of international courtesy, It is not sur
prising that it occasioned the deepest
regret wherever known.

A telegram sent from Nashville to the
Cincinnati Commercial indicates how
Tennessee is to be carried on their pro-

want of any frauds, abuses or tyrannous
acts necessary-that is quite certain
The telegram mentioned is as follows
To make q Radical success in the
State an absolute certainty, the Governor
has declared null aud void the registra-
ton in number Of the heaviest Demo
cratic counties, and from this decision
there is no appeal.
In the registration throughout he
State, il is quite certain that large
number Of Democrats who were entitled
to certificates have been denied them.
while a still larger number of the same
POLITICAL faith, who were loyal through
ont the war, have refused to apply ct all,
partly from fear of refusal and partly
from the conviction that Radical ,ri-
umph in Tennessee is foregone conclu-
sion. There are hundreds Of this class
in this city.
