When we consider that Wealth tends
steadily away from the City-that is, larger
and larger proportion of our capitalists and
business men reside outside and are assessed
outside of our City's limts--it must be felt that
this exhibit is satisfactory, and utterly incon-
sistent with the absurd notion that the coun-
try is growing poor.

Value of a Newspaper.

A child beginning to read be-
comes delighted with a newspaper,
because he reads of names and
things that are familiar, and he
will progress accordingly. A
newspaper in one year is worth a
quarters schooling to a child. Ev-
cry father must consider that in
formation is connected with ad-
vancement. The mother of a
family, being one of its heads and
having a more immediate charge
of children, should herself be in
structed. 4 mind occupied be-
comes fortified against the ills of
life, and is braced for energy
Children amused by reading or
studying are Of course more consid-
crate and easily governed. How
many thoughtless young men have
spent their earnings in a tavern
or grogshop, who ought to have
been reading! How many parents
who have not spent twenty dol
lars for books tor their families,
would have given thousands to re-
claim a son or daughter who had
ignorantly, thOnghtlessly fallen in
to temptation.

One of Life's Contrasts,

An interior correspondent of
the San Francisco Alta California
closes a recent letter with the
following little story 80 Z
Three years ago while break
fasting at a mining restaurant
near the Oregon line, a stranger
with uncombed hair, huge. gray
whiskerS, and tatlered coat took
his seat at the table. By acci-
dent, | was relating to the land
lord an incident which had oc-
Cured some years since in the
Connecticut Valley. After | had
left the table and was walking
alone, the unshorn stranger accost-
ed me, "You are the first map,
said he, "whom | have heard men
ton my native town for seventeen
years, and it made my heart come
in my mouth when you did SO"
This circumstance doubtless made
him unusually communicative.
He SAID. he was living. in the
mountains, fifteen miles from any
habitation, subsisting by hunting,
and visiting the settlements not
more than twice a year. This
statement was afterwards corrobo-
rated by other evidence. What
induced him to lead this life he
did not see. fit to explain. In his
early .boyhood, on the banks of
the Connecticut, he and the present
Chief Justice of the United States
lived on adjacent 3 farms and -at-
tended the same public school.
What a sharp contrast has mark
ed their subsequent liyes-the one
filling the most responsible sta
ton in the gift of the American
people-the other a hermit, un-
knowing and unknown, amid the
wild and almost inaccessible fast
nesses of Southern Oregon. d Il9sl

Take Your Choice.

1
The reliability of Washington
dispatches is pretty well illus
trated by the following kilograms
to two Cincinnati papers, bearing
on Tennessee. twill be seen that
one correspondent states squarely
that Stokes wants to set UP as
Governor of Tennessee, while the
rival Bohemian asserts the very re-
verse. The matter at issue has
really very little practical impor-
tance, since it refers to the vapid
vSporings of the Tennessee Bald
Eagle, but we give it for what it
is WORTH merely remarking that
"you pays your money and takes
your choice" Here is what the
Gazette correspondent says;
Stokes wants the President te
agree that in case Stokes returns
to Tennessee and assumes to be
Governor, and calls those who ran
on the ticket with him together as
a Legislature, the administration
would recognize them as-thc choice
Of the legal voters, and therefore the
State Government, and in case of
trouble act upon the call of Stokes
as Governor, and furnish military
aid. The President is decidedly
opposed to the course of Stokes.
q. And now hear what the Com
mercial man has to say on the same
subject:
Hon. ". B. Stokes Of Tennes-
see, had an interview with the
President to-day during which he
explained to the latter many of
the details of the late campaign
in that State, which resulted in his
defeat for Governor, and took occa-
sion TO deny the statement that be
intends to call the Legislature to-
gether for the purpose OF assuming
control of the State Government.
He also denied the statement that
he intends to bring the subject of
the election before Congress,an de-
clared that, as his State is fully re-
constructed, Congress has no more
control over its affairs than it has
over the affairs of Wisconsin or
Massachusetts. He further ex-
planned that the object of his
visit here Is TO be obtain a prop
er reward for the exertion of his
in behalf of the Republican
cause, by securing for them ap-
pointment to Offices pow held by
Senter men. i
There, of course it is now all as
clear as mud. Let us have peace.

Sun Printing on Fruit.

A writer in Hearth and Home
says thatmonograrns, ,initiafletters,
or other designs can be printed on
such, fruit as apples, pears and
peaches by the action Of the sun,
with very pretty effect either a
light or dark color. To do this,
draw the monogram, letter, or de-
sign Oh piece of writing paper,
and paste it with mucilage or glue
upon the side exposed to the sun
Just before the fruit begins to col
or, and when the fruits ripe, and
the paper is removed the design
will appear in a lighter or differ
ent color from the rest.of the fruit;
as for instance if the experiment be
on a yellow -feshed peach with a
red cheek, the design will appear
in gold, surrounded with red. If
the opposite effect is desired, take
a small oval or circular piece OF
paper, and cut out or pierce the
letter or design in it, and paste it
on the fruit, which when ripe, will
have it in high color on a yel-
low or light green ground, of the
shape of the piece Of paper, and
this will be surrounded by the
brighter color Of the fruit.

Poisonou us Rair DYE.
From the Davenport (IowaJ Gazette.

4 From thefDayenport Qowa) Gazette.
IS Shortly after the death of DIR. J
M. Witherwax, which occurred OF
the 18th, the Scott County Med
ical Society appointed a committee
consisting of Drs. j. w. Ii. Baker
Hazen, Farquarson, Cantwell and
French to- investigate the cause
! (which led to his death, it having
been the opinion of several med
ical gentlemen that he died from
the effect of lead poison.
The committee, through DIR
Baker, have prepared their report,
tinwhieh they unanimously concur
( in the opinion that the cause of
DR.. Witherwax's death was right.
IIyssurmised, and that the poison
was introduced into the system
Through the use of hair dressing or
ldye. For four years previous to
| his demise. DIR. Witherwax had
used the dressing almost daily on
his hair and whiskers, and frequent
ly,sduring the whoie period suf-
fered from pains which were SIM
liar TO those produced by lead collie.
DIR. Hazen and Gantwell each
made four separate analyses of the
liver OF Dr.TW !; and one of thekid-
Ineys, and iound,lead in the tissues
of those iorgans each time. , The
report accompanies that of the
committee. aea-, H
In the report, DR.. Baker, as
chairman, cites many instances
given in prominent medical
works and journals, in which in
Idividuals have died from diseases
produced by use of hair dyes, in
in which symptoms very similar
to those manifested in the case of
DIR. w. were betrayed. Further
more it is established that con-
gestion Of the brain is not unfre-
quently produced by these dyes.
/ 1t is stated that's all the numer-
Gus hair dyes in use, except one,
contain lead. The one exception
contains nitrate of silver, instead
of lead, and that, while it does
not poison the system, crisps and
dries the hair-to its injury, of
course.
The lead used on the hair is alb
sorbed by the skin and thence con-
veyed to the different organs in the
body and effects It's work of de-
structioh by poison, The magic
combs, which are arranted to
turn gray hair black, are made of
lead, and DR.. Baker cites an in
stance of the death from lead

them. @
And SO the committee clearly
