Minn ON the ~Shnmpoo.

Our friend NJ. l.. Vim, formerly a
resident OF Virginia City, and who was
well and SUCCESSFULLY known as the
landlord Of the International, a grand
developer of the mines of Cedar Hill,
and lastly as chief candy man of the
country, and a large dealer in Spiritual
ism, is new holding forth at San Fran
cisco, and comes forth before the pant
ing public Of that maritime eommdnity
as o beneficial inventor. According TO
the San Francisco Bulletin, he has in
vented a very singular and peculiar
phrenologico-tonsorial machine for
shampooing the human head, and
whereby one barber with a suticieney
of apparatus, could shampoo 500 or
1000 persons at a lick, without much
exertion on his part. This queer ar
rangement, when adjusted, looks some
thing like q big helmet. There Is hrst
a large bottomless pau-botiom!ess un-
til it is fixed on the victims head, then
the head makes q bottom. It is made
water tight by means of a gutta percha
lining and elastic strap, which adjusts
itself to any sized or shaped head. a
draped hood falls from the lower outer
edge of the basin below the ears, and
serves to conceal the straps. a couple
of standards fixed to the basin on either
side rest on the shoulders, and aid the
subject in holding the institution PLUMB:
When the thing is all right a bucket iuii
of suds, or less than that amount, ac-
cording to the nature OF the head is
turned into the basin and the patient
a~dmonished to sit still. Then the pro-
lessor takes q sponge, mop or brush, n
operates on the head on the mining pan
muller principle. When he has dug, and
splashed, and padded long enough, no
opens a tube from the bottom OF the pa
sin and sluices out the tailing', then
adds clear water, runs that OIL, loosens
the band and takes the basin away.
The blessings to be derived from tnis
invention may not be confined to gentle
men alone, for the machine can be ad-
iusted so as 10 take iu the large water
fall, "rats," friz, rolls and braids, true
or false, and cleanse them thoroughly
nj one operation. The inventor says
tho process will be performed Us readily
for a lady as for a gentleman. No doubt
of this but it implies that for the an
Gent operation Of free shampooing, tue
heads of male subjects were preferable.
It is at best a disagreeable one for NIL
concerned, and if Winn's invention pos
sesses the practical virtues claimed Tor
it, he is a public benefaetor and no
barber shop or hair dressing saloon
should be without one of his basins. i

STANTON.

How the News Of the Death of Edwin M
stanton was Received Here.
The news Of the death Of Edwin M. Stanton was
received here with feelings OF regret by citizens
who looked upon him as a sterling patriot and an
upright man. Crowds gathered around the bulletin
boards sorrowing, and wondering at the brevity OF
the first despatch, which but merely announced his
death, At first many could not realize the sad
truth, coming right upon the heels OF his appoint
ment to the Supreme Bench. 1t was by some con-
sidered Canard, but all such were convinced when
the later despatch stated that "congestion OF the
heart" had produced his sudden demise. The flags
on public buildings have all been placed at half
mast, the Board of Brokers has adjourned and 1t is
expected that various other public bodies will take
action this afternoon.

Stanton Judge Cadwalader, ordered an adjourn

speCt to his memory. The motion was seconded by
William o. Hirst ESQ.,, who, with Theodore Cuyler,
ESQ, made few beautiful remarks eulOglstC OF the
character OF the distinguished dead.
Bis Honor spoke eloquently and with much
warmth OF Mr. Stanton, saying he had enjoyed q
personal acquaintance of twenty years with MIN,
6aving known him when he first came TO the bar at
PTtsDurg, with then high local reputation, which
soon afterwards became national. He ordered the

And three little stockings hung up in a row
Were brmming with goodies from top to the toe.
My eyes were heavy, my heart it was sad,
The glad merry Christmas could not make me glad /:
For there was my skeleton" not hidden away
in some lone closet, for by night and by day
II stood by my elbow t grinned in my face;
For months had vany endeavored TO chase
The mocking torment0r for once out OF sight,
But ne'er could do it, by day or by night.
It was only my work basket, Iull to o'ernowing
or dresses and aprons and family sewing;

et this night before Christmas saw, with dismay,
That terrible basket as full as ever;
And said in my heart: IL will last forever.
Just then--was / dreaming?-a dear little fellow
The genuine Santa Claus, rosy and mellow,
And brimful of mischief, came in at the door.

With such huge bundle strapped on to his back
