OBITUARY.

Mr.. Henry Jarvis Raymond, editor
and founder of the New York Times,
suddenly departed life last Friday MORN
ing, at his residence in New York city.
He was born in Lima, Livingston coun-
ty, New York, Jan. Gath, 1920, and hence
was q trifle over forty-nine years of age.
At an early age he graduated at the
Vermont University. after which he
studied law in the office of Edward w.
Marsh, maintaining himself in the
meanwhile by teaching classics in "a
young ladies' seminary, an by contribu-
tions to the New Yorker, literary,
journal of some reputation in days gone
by. In April, lS4l, Mr. Raymond con
nected himself with the New York
Tribune as the editorial associate OF MIR.
Horace Greeley distinguished himself
as correct reporter, an art orproiessioB
in these days In its infancy. In ls43 he
accepted q place on the New York
Courier and Enquirer, which he cred
itably filled till 1851. About this time
he gained q wide spread literary name
in his sharp and pungent attacks on So
cialism, ias taught by Fourier and de-
Tended by Mr.. Greeley. In 1S49 Mr..
Raymond was elected by the. Wings TO
the New York Legislature. position
which he filled with much credit. Gu
September Is, 1851, he published his first
number of the Times, a daily journal
which holds prominent position at this
day. In 1854 he was chosen Lieutenant
Governor Of New York In February,
1856, he was author of the Address to
the People, /" promulgated by the first
National Republican Conl ention held
in Pittsburg. He was subsequently elect
ed to Congress, but did not attain the
position in that body which it was ex-
pected he would. His term expired in
1856, since which time he has closely
devoted himsel. to his editorial sanctum
and death found him, as it does most
editors, in the harness.

IT seems probable that the question of
granting the Cubans belligerent rights
will engage the attention of the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet. 1t is said that
they are divided in regard to it. The
President would act affirlnatively, but
his Cabinet are not ready-Mr. Hoar
being the only one opposed. The SYM
pathies of Secretary Fish, it is we'll
known, are with the Cubans, but he
does not wish to adopt policy which
he thinks would place us in an inccn-
sistent light before Great Britain, espe-
cially while the Alabama claim ques-
ton is still pending. He has done moth
ing, however, against the Cubans, and
nothing to further the Spanish interests
The Secretary of the Navy would be
willing to lend the Cubans a helping
hand. Don't be too vigilant in watch
ing for filibuster expeditions in Cuban
waters" is the language of his heart to
Admiral Hofs Boutwell, naturally sid es
with Hoar, and is for a strict enforce
ment of the neutrality law against the
Cubans. Rawlins, Cox and Cress well

LAST CHANCE o BARGAINS III.
Baum & Brother have nearly closed out
their huge stock of ready-made custom
clothing, gents furnishing goods, hats,
boots and shoes, hosiery and gloves Of
all kinds, from the best manufactures (;
also, carpet sacks, y%alises, trunks,
Mission wooden blankets, and all such
articles found in a first class clothing
house. What little they have left on
hand they will sell ut much less than
cost, as they have to vacate their store
on the first day Of April, without fail ;
therefore a better chance for bargains,
either Wholesale or retail, never was
seen. They nov also offer for sale
their splendid safe, large rich looking
glass, and all their store fixtures. This
sale is absolute, and without reserve,
therefore q small amount of coin will

indebted to Baum L Brother are
urgently required to como forward at
once and settle, without further notice.
Thi, is the last chance-improve it.

THE EVENING NEWS.
Tuesday Evcning.-----Mnrch 80, Is
rhs Reproduction Of Hair.

4 Philadelphia paper says that a col
ored barber in Jersey City has dem
ons,rated the fact that hair may be
grated into a ~prematurely bald head
and made to grow. He takes hair from
the head of another person, and exam
ines it with q microscope to ascertain
whether it is perfect and healthy. This
hair he inserts into the cavities Of the
scalp, like setting out onion slips,
securing the same by bandages for q
few days, until the hair has taken root
properly. IT'S we'll. We are pleased
to record all such Instances OF human
ingenuity as q matter of hopeful con-
ISOLATION to bald heads, and here we will
incidentally make mention Of the sue
cess in that respect achieved by the
bald-hsaded barber Of Gold Hill, who
has been experimenting for the last SIX
oreight months how TO cover his shining
scalp with q hairy roofing. He dissolved
a lot of raw sheepskin, cotton seed, and
eurled hair from a mattress in 4 mixture
of sulphuric acid and coal oil, forming
a rich ointment, which he applied to
his head. Tho result was q bountiful
crop of sleeps wool, raw cotton and
horse.hair, mixed, which it took six
weeks and three gallons of Abolition
oil 10 eradicate. His next experiment
was with n quantity of oil extracted
from the root Of a turkeys tail. This
he mixed with guano and naptha, and
tried on tho head of n ba~ld-headed old
Pluto, not liking to take any more
chances himself. That old raisin-faced
Indian can be seen any day now wan
dering about the streets of Gold Hill or
Virginia, with a luxuriant crop oil
turkey feathers. growing out of the top
of his head, elegantly sustained in an
upright position by n broad band of red
flannel. He is mighty proud of his gay
topnot, and out of gratitude has fur
nished the barber with about II wheel
barrow load OF second hand scalps,
which no has got in soak, with the
strongest hopes Of ultimate success.
He was going to try lard, but has given
il up, fully convinced nov that pigs
bristles would be the product.
