FASHION AND THE sHROUD.

Sanitary Superintendent Harris, in a
communication addressed to the New York
Board of Health, calls attention to the
unrestrained sale of POISONOUS solutions
and preparations of lead under the name
Of cosmetics, bloom of youth, hair dyes,
hair invigOrators, etc. Early in the sum
mCr a very thorough chemical invcstiga-
ton of this and all other common sources
Of lead poisoning was instituted. Thus
far every specimen analysed has been
found TO contain lead. DR.. Louis A.
Sayre reports three cases of poisoning by
the Use of "Laird's Bloom of Youth, ="
and that eminent surgeon urgently calls
for the prohibition of the sale of that
ath-dealing article of the toilet
Recently merchant of some distinc-
ton was killed by the daily use of hair
wash that contained large quantities of
acetate and carbonate of lead. A vast
amount of neuralgia and palsied misery
comes of such poisoning, and in view of
the importance which attaches to the en-
tire subject, especially as respects the
water which we drink, the preserved foods
in the market, and the nostrums sold
Without restraint in the shops. DR..
Harris asked the Board to take some &C
ton by which the sources of lead poison
ing shall be fully reported upon and the
public warned against the use of such
dangerous lotions and preparations.
Iron and timed pipes through which TO
conduct the croton water are recommend
cd, in order to give entire immunity
against the slowly acting effects of the
minute quantities of lead borne along by
the common lead tubing now in use.

RED RIVER.
The Man without a Country.

CHICAGO, Jan 5.-McDougall has gone
to Canada, leaving Hinchman and Dennis
behind.
Hostile Attitude OF the Redskins.
Dennis called upon Gen. Hancock at
st. Paul and denounced the reports re-
garding the reported movement of the
Sioux indians upon American settlements
in the spring, and protesting against mill
tary action being taken thereon. Two
gentlemen from Pembina also called upon
Gen. Hancock, supporting the assertions
of threatened Sioux raid, and asking
military protection. Gen. Hancock asked
for copies of the documents to be for
warded to the War Department, and said
he should await instructions, though he
thought the movement of troops this win
ter would be unnecessary.
Going to wipe out Our Settlers.
A Pemhina letter from an intelligent
and reliable American who has been neu-
trail since the commencement of tho rebel
lion, says he has been warned of the
threatened movement of the Indians to
wipe out American settlements, and adds,
this surpasses belief; but evidence on this
subject is accumulating, and it is feared
that
Bloody Work will Commence
soon as spring opens, unless ample protec-
ton is afforded US by our own govern
ment In fact, this is so we'll understood
here that the people of St. Joseph are or
ganizing forces for
ScIf-Pr0tectiOn,
and have sent two most influential citizens
to this place to make arrangements for CO.
operation with the st. Joseph settlement
against the Indians.
Preparing for n Spring Campaign
and Annexation.
The same gentleman says the insurgents
are now preparing for a spring campaign
by organizing a regiment of infantry and
a squadron of cavalry for drill and dis
Cipline. He confirms the opinion that
the aim and object of the leaders are an
nexatiOn TO the United States, though at
present they avow their allegiance 10 the
hCmC government.
Banished
The editor of the WidSor Canada
Record says the prisoners captured by
the insurgents were sentenced to Danish
ment All banished prisoners went to
Pembina on the 18th.
An Insignificant Affair,
Mr.. McDougall asserts that the Red
River war is an insignificant affair. The
largest portion of the insurgents, he says,
are controlled by the Postmaster at Fort
GeaIy, who caused the seizure of Nc
Douglas correspondence. He says he
did not wish to participate in the civil
war, and ordered his adhererents quietly
| to pursue their avOCations until some steps
were taken by the Canadian government
The Governor states it takes eight days to
| come from Pembina to the nearest railroad
station in Minnesota. During the trip the
| thermometer stood
| Twenty Degrees below Zero.
| He says the movement of the rebellion
is in the interest of annexation to the
United States, but thinks the people will
| not sustain it.
