The truth Of the whole matter in a
few plain words, is simply this, | see
nothing in Grants inaugural to afford
much comfort or consolation to the dis
franchised and downtrodden people
of the South. He unequivocally recon-
mends the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution by the
Legislatures of the States, which will
secure the permanent enfranchisement
of the negro race, and leaves the en-
reimbursement of the white race, who
have been and are now disfranchi4ed as
they were before its adoption. Those
who can see any comfort in this, have
keener optics than possess. | have no
confidence in Grants ability or honesty
to restore this unfortunate country to its
former prosperity, glory and renown.

CARE OF THE HAIR.

a writer writes thus on the care of the
hair: Putting up the hair Of children
in curling papers, breaks it and checks
its growth; often pulls it out at the roots.
Curling irons are both fatal to the hair of
both children and grown persons. The
heat saps up the juice out of the fibers
as effectually as fire or frost saps the vi
tality of green branch, leaving it but
dry, withered skeleton. The practice
which hair>dressers have of frizzing out
the hair with a comb, to make the most
OF it, is one of the most cruel injuries
that can be inflicted on the living hair.
The comb cuts it in the act Of frizzing
it. You can test the truth of this by
combing out the hair after it has been so
dressed. The hair sometimes comes out
by handfuls; and further, this process
tangles up the hair, and great deal OF
it is broken and pulled out in trying to
comb it straight again.

day last as some men were cutting a
road through a snow drift, near Peacham
Corners, Vt, they came upon the frozen
bodies of Mrs. Emmons, aged 60 years,

lady had fallen, overcome with cold and
snow, half mile from farmers house,
through window of which light was
shining all night, while the daughter had
approached little nearer, and the boy
was within two rods of the window. He
had evidently dragged himself some dis

NO Money Found, aud the seOandrea.
NOT Paid Cor Their TreuDIe.

Considerable excitement prevailed in
express circles yesterday morning upon
Information being received at the Adams
Express Office that safe, resembling thoss
used by the messengers on the railroads.
had been found broken open just beyond
'he Catholic cemetery, and near the track
OF the Nashville and Decatur railroad.
The agent Of the company, Can't. Thatcher.
was startled at the intelligence. and not
having heard from sny Of the messengers
at the different stations hardly knew what
to think Of the affair. There were mona
of the safes missing from the Office, and If
the messengers who lel on the morning
trains with large amounts Of money had
been robbed or foully dealt with, the
agents al some OF the country towns would
have communicated the facts of the missing
messenger by telegraph. So much for the
excitement in express circles.
Future developments, however, relieved
Capt Thacher and the clerks Of all anxi-
ETY. in the matter, for il shortly afterwards
transpired that two safes we're found at The
place designated, both OF which had been
broken open. They had been distracted
on the night previous from the building
occupied by e. B. Wright, lumber mer-
chant, corner Of Broad aud High streets.
The Office Of the establishment had bean
burglariously entered through the window.
and the two safes, supposed no doubt to
contain large amounts Of money, carried
of. How The thieves managed to carry
the safes to such distance il not known,
but there must have been several engaged
in the transaction, and probably an az
press wagon was pressed into the service.
Neither safe contained any money, and
The seoundrels had all their trouble for
nothing. They were filed with books, and

fight, according to the rules of the ring,
except that hair-pulling and biting were

in Somerville, Mass, at an early hour on

their appearance in the ring, were clad
in the conventional costume of Eaiters,
stockings and draw ers, wearing nothing
else to speak of beyond waterfalls and
Magenta curls. At the very first round
one of them, named Sarah Chapman, be-
came frightened and jumped out Of the
ring, but her hackers drove her in again,
and she eventually won the fight at the
twenty first round, over her opponent,
Mollie Jones, both Of them having been
severely punished. MOllie begged her
seconds, in Gods name, to take her
away, and SO the fight and money-fifty
dollars-were awarded TO Sarah.
