support the truth of the theory lately
preached by a writer in the Atlantic
Monthly, that the earth is continually
increasing in size by the accretion OF
falling meteors.
The Emperor's (Louis Napoleon)
phlegm is said to beable to resist every
thing except the frowns and GOODNESS of
the people Immediately about him, He
is truly aniable aad affectionate to his
household, and does not like to oppose
the wishes OF the Empress or of the
habitues of the palace. If they treat
him coldly, and are short in their an
swers tor few days, it is said he gives
in to their views, though opposed to his
own.
A whiskey fraud, which Melted the
swindlers, four OF whom were members
of Congress, eight millions Of dollars, is
the latest performance of the ring, So
much for Congressional government.
While there is great uncertainty pre-
vailIng rs to who will and who will nol
be invited into Gen. Grants Cabinet,
there is good authority for saying the
Cabinet when formed will include
Southern man. This has been pretty
definitely settled, though it is uncertain
what Department of the Government
may be entrusted to his keeping. The
gentleman now in Gen. Grants eye Is
one of the most distinguished jrrists Of
the country and one whose ability and
experience would we'll fit him for any
station to which he may be assigned.

Brick Pomeroy says Beecher closed
his auction of pews in these words.
Ladies and gentlemen, Thank on

shown me during this sale. The pews

When we clipped the following-from
Greeley's paper we said to ourselves, Il
we are not much mistaken this will
form part of Grants Inaugural.

TN again calling the attention of the
Il Farmers of Virginia and adjoining States
to this simple yet effective implement, the
subscriber begs leave to say that it has been
greatly improved for the ensuing season Ct
1869. 1t is now worked by q chain band in
stead of a leather band as formerly, thereby
insuring a more constant operation, BY IA
very simple adjustment it will drop corn at
the distances of Is inches or 8 feet together
with any pulveriZed Fertilizer,
Full printed directions accompany each
machine. He would also call attention to
ROU1srs DOUBLE-sHovEL PLOW,
with Coulter and Briar Cutting Attachments,
tho latter especially adapted to any foul
lands, whether with Briars, Sassafras or wire
Grass. Also, to
ROUTT'S DRAIN Pillow,
which completes at one operation the double
course of the ordinary plow, besides saving
q great deal of hand labor,
He has certificates of many well-known
farmers, vouching for the strength and eff
cient action of all these implements, which
will be furnished on application,
AS the senior partner in the new concern
of A, z, Routt II Co., he would return his
thanks to a generous public for their kind
patronage in the past, and pledges unremitt-
cd exertions to maintain and Increase that
full confidence in the future.

THIS preparation 10 intended solely
L for the purpose of arresting the falling
out Of the Hair, and renewing its growth, by
producing a healthy action in the scalp. 1t
makes no pretentions to restoring grey hair
TO its original color or to. curing hereditary
badness. Generally, both loss of hair, and
grey hair result from a diseased state Of the
hair bulbs or roots. Not receiving the pro-
per nourishmeht, the pigment contained
within the tubes, and which gives color to
the hair Is lost, and nothing has ever yet
been discovered to restore IL.
All that is claimed for Sancoma is that 1t
CURES DISEASES OF THE HAIR!
Produced by want of food. By furnishing
THIS food the hair is saved from death, and

We confidently recommend the sancoma
to persons with light hair and others, who
object to using the countless hair dyes Offer
ed for sale over the country. In addition to
its properties rs Powerful Tonic, IL is the
most elegant Hair Dressing known, keeping
the hair soft and pliable. 1t contains no

GENTLEMEN For several months past,
my hair which is naturally thick and of ra-
pid growth, has been coming out so fast on
every application of the comb, that had be-
gun to regard premature badness as q ne
cessity from which could not escape, how
ever disagreeable it's infiiction. While en-
deavoring to reconcile my mind to this fate,
/ was recommended to try your SANCOHA,

rience the benefits of the Preparation in less
than the space Of week. Ny hair has stop
ped coming out entirely, and the most vigor-
Gus use of the comb and brush but rarely de-
tatches a single strand.
Being naturally grateful for the BENEFITS
which Sancoma has conferred upon me,
furnish this certificate unsolicited and with
great pleasure.

How He Whipped Him.

A young John Phoenix tells how it
was as follows I'll tell you how it was.
You see Bill aud me went down to the
warf to fish. and I felt in my pocket and
found my knife and it was gone, and
said bill, you stoid my knife" and
he said I was another; and [ said 90
there yourself; and he said it was no
such thing; and I said he was liar,
and | could whip him if ] was bigger'n
him and he said he'd rock me to sleep,
mother; and | said he was bigger one;
and he said I never had the measles,
and I said for him to fork over that
kLife or I'd fix him for tomb stone on
Laurel Hill =; and be said my grandmoth-
er was no gentleman, and | said he
dersen't take it up; but he did you bet !;
you never will, you never did, then I
got up again and said he was too much
afraid to do it again, and he too, but be
didn't, and grappled him and throwed
him down on the top of me like several
brickbats and tell you it beat all-and
so he did, and SO he did, and my little
dog got behind Bill and bit him; and
Bill kicked at the dog, and the dog ran,
and I ran, and I ran after the dog to
fetch him back ad I didn': catch him
until | got clear home; and Ill whip
him more yet. Is my eye very black ?

Do Som RetaaiEs Z.

No one has right to BE- idle. There
is too much to be done in the world. for
any one to stand aside, and coatent him
self with doing nothing. Life is bat
tie in which every human being has a
duty to perform; and he who drops out
ofranks and shirks the conflict, Or looks
on it 40 a mere spectator from some safe
point of leisure, is entitled to contempt
equally with the soldier who abandons
his place and fees from the bullets which
his comrades are breasting. Our cities
swarm with idlers wlp would willingly
do their part in this Battle of life if they
could only be officers; but they are not
content to BE- soldi-rs. These fascina-
ting creatures esteem themselves above
the vulgarity of manual labor 1t would
degrade them. A hardened hand, or
Il sunbuEped skin are degradations not
OF be submitted to short OF absolute star
vation-and hardly then; for there are
plenty Of men-uot many womeh-who
will dawdle along through life in con-
di.ion of idle semistarvation, rather than
earn honest bread with honest manual
toll. They want to live by their wits:
they desire to be clerks, or agents. or
salesmen. or travelling solicitors. or to
conduct somebody's businsss, or hold an
Office, or to occupy come rlspectable sal
aried position, that will permit them to
wear the apparel and affect the manners
of "gentlvEan;' but the hor,Yd idea of
digging in the earth or choPping timber,
or driving horses, or holding plow,
never enters their head. except to be BAN
ished with shudder.
To do nothing is to invite constant
temtations to do evil. Steady, faithful
employments is one of the surest safe
guards of virtuous life The tempter
j. ever at the side of the idler, but avoids
the industrious worker.
