WHAT DID Ir?-Lyon's Kathairon
made my hair soft, luxuriant and thick,
and Hagan's Magnolia Balm changed
that sallow complexion into the marble
beauty you now see. This is emrhati-
cally the language of all who use these
articles. A fine head OF hair and a
refined complexion are the greatest at
fractions woman can possess, The
Kathairon and Magnolia Balm are just
what will give them TO you and moth
ing else will. The Balm ID the bloom
of youth. 1t makes lady Of thirty
appear but twenty. Both articles are
entirely harmless, and very pleasant.
They should be in every ladys posses

A combination has been entered in
to between the friends Of the South
ern Pacific Railroad lines and those Of
the Northern Pacific, for the purpose
Of getting both measures through the
House. The Southern men seem dis
posed to unite upon the Fremont
road. BY combination the thieves
hope to secure and divide the public
plumber. The United States Senate
can not rid itself of the suspicion Of
"~collusion with fraud" when it passed
the gigantic swindle for the benefit Of
the Northern Pacific road. The peo-
pie looked to the House for the defeat
Of the nefarious scheme. We fear,
that however. the combination above
referred to, will prove too strong for
the integrity Of the House, and the
double swindle will be fully consul
mated. The only consolation in the
matter, is that the public domain will
soon be exhausted and the land grab

A Moral for schenck.

Mr.. Schenck says if his tariff bill is
killed, as it now promises to be, its
epitaph will be, ''nibbled to death by
pismires," or kicked to death by
grasshoppers." But we trust the bill
will not be killed. Let the pismires
and grasshoppers swarm about it, and
divest it. as they are rapidly doing,
of its unjust monopoly features, and
then give it a fair field and long life.
Let Schenck be warned. The pis-
mires aud grasshoppers will be to the
giant Monopoly what the Liliputians
were to Brobdignag. Numbers go
further than mere muscle and meat.
Another thing: Before Mr.. Schenck
beats the air any longer as the blind
windmill of the tariff, he ought to
study Political Economy as taught by
these very pismires of which he
speaks in such oontemptuous terms.
The ant, or pismire, is the very model
of healthy and vigorous home indus
try. He is the pattern worker Of the
universe. he asks and receives no
protection. His gains are the simple
rewards Of his own unaided labor.
Moreover-and to this fact we call
Mr.. Schenck's particular attention
the ant is the great Renovation of the
Universe. He is the great cleanser of
the Augean stables of the earth. He
feeds upon offal, and withdraws from
exposure all the poisonous c~arcasses
whose noxious gases are the chief
enemy of man. He has been known
to consume every particle of the un-
wholesome body of q mammoth ele-
plant. Think of that, Mr.. Schenckl
aud thank Providence for providing
the ant that shall clear away the cor
rupt carcass of Tariff Monopoly, when
the House shall have slain the giant
and thrown its body out upon the
pain.
One moro word 10 Mr.. Schenck, and
we are done. IL is this: go to the
ant, thou sluggardl Consider his
ways. and be wise Pc Chicago Post.

Rarth nInsets.

A company in Hartford, Connecti-
cut, has a large amount Of money in
vested in the manufacture of earth
closets as substitutes for water clos
cts. They are selling extensively in
many large cities at a large profit,
when the same end can be attained
by a simple closet, which any joiner
can make, at a small expense, in the
following manne
IF intended for the house, they can
be made in the shape of a box, about
the height Of an ordinary chair seat
and sixteen inches square, the box
provided with a drawer to be run in
and out from behind. AT the back
of the seat and rising up so as to form
a back like that Of n chair, another
box is placed, of sufficient size to re-
ceive from half a bushel to n bushel
of dried aud pulverized earth, and
provided with a stopper at the lower
part, which should be tunnel shaped.
Your closet is then ready, unless
you desire to ornament it, or cover
and cushion the seat, all of which can
easily be done, giving it the appear
ance of a sort Of easy chair.
The clayey soil around this city is
very nearly the same rs that sold by
the Hartford company, and can be
prepared by being dried and pulver-
lied fine enough to run through the
hopper, but not fine enough to be
dusty. Before the closet is used, a
quantity of the earth should be thrown
into the drawer, and whenever used,
the earth should be run in from the
hopper in quantities to cover the fecal
matter which it completely absorbs
and ~deodorizes. BY a chemical union
of the earth and the other matter, an
excellent fertilizer is produced. and
so complete is the deoderization that
the clay can be dried aud used as
many as five or six times without
emitting any smell.
Where this fertilizer is used on
soil that requires lo~osening. sifted
coal or ashes may be mixed with the
earth. The hopper should be SO ar
ranged that the quantity Of earth
thrown into the closet should be
about three or four times the bulk of
the fecal matter, or more if necessary,
to absorb the liquid as well as the
solid matter, and prevent any eVapo-
ration.
This kind of closet is quite extern
sively used in the Eastern cities and
t.. some extent also among the farm
ers of New York, whose lands re-
auire the use of fertilizers. They
can be constructed quite as
