and such a yearning for brotherhood
with other peoples. I think I can
assure you of one thing. When this
business fs over there viii be mem
ory of the attitude of England during
the last fortnight, which will last at
least as long as the Alabama claims.
The only consolation the people in
duIge in is the splendid behavior of
the troops in action. This is acknowl-
edged with cordial praise all over
Europe, and the praise is balm TO
the sore hearts CT France"
CAN PARIS STAND a SIEGE?
A Paris correspondent Of the Lon
don Times writes
cit is ridiculous to suppose that
Paris will ever stand asfege. To say
nothing Of the lmpossibility of pro-
visioning it for any length Of time
chow are the stores to be laid in for
two millions Of people when it took
so long to collect supplies for an army
Of 300, O,OOO9), how long do you suppose
the Parisians would endure a siege? As
soon as the enemy got near enough to
throw shell into the city there would
be panic and a clamor for surrender,
and if the authorities resisted, rev.
olution would certainly ensue."
The following remarks by French
correspondent are also significant:
"For the present no impodiment is
thrown in the way of the Government,
and every nerve isstrained to arm the
whole nation. For myself, I put trust
only in the actual soldiers that may
be sent into the field. IfOur regular
army is defeated, National Guards and
Volunteers will be Of no avail. For
the very reason that our army is con-
sidered invincible, its defeat would
create a complete panic. Who could
attempt to resist when our soldiers
have given way?"

Badness and Hair ResGOra-
flVPa.

Badness and Hair RestOra-
tIVes.
As any knowledge or experience in
connection with these subjects should
be made public at this time, I desire to
contribute, through the columns of the
GAZETTE, my mite Of information on
the subject. 1 desire to say that all
that can be done in reality is to comb
and brush the hair reasonably, and
keep the scalp perfectly clean with
soap and water.
Applications of cologne or spirits,
not too strong, are pleasant and unob-
iectionable. Bathing the head occas-
.ionally with cold water will be ad-
vantageous by its gentle reactive
stimulus, and thereby assisting to
keep the roots of the hair in a vigorous
and healthy condition.
Permitting the hair to attain only o
moderate length is another means Of
retaining a Iuxuriant crop, as where
there isan insufficient nutriment you
must not attempt to grow too much,
or all will become thin, weak and ex-
hausted
Some men find if they attempt to
cultivate a very heavy beard, that the
hair on the upper portion of the head
becomes thin, and shows signs of de.
cay, but that it revives again, as the
beard is reduced, thus showing thai
the soil is not sufficient for every.
thing.
Oils arc in any considerable quan
tity highly Objectionable; as they
soften and relax the skin, and the hail
loosens and drops out. These re,
marks are sufficient to enable all who
choose to adopt them to get and retair
all the hair their physical condition
can furnish, unless they have injured
the roots by unduIy stimulating tn
skin with "patent hair restoratives"
We all know that cold sustains anC
strengthens the hair crop; warmth
does the reverse. Then keep th
head cool.
Is there any wonder that ladies, a
present, should become alarmed at th
prospect of losing their "glOry," an
that they should ask, through the pa
pers, for information and rostoratives
As these precious hair restOratives, s.
called, are most freely applied to th
anterior portion of the head, and it
also kept the warmost, so there tn
incipient badness begins; while th
! front part, being comparatively neg
lie cted, and left out in the cold, take
! care of itself and always holds on
its hair.-[Cin. Gaz. A.

CHARLES DICKENS.


BoRE FEBRUARY 7, 1872. DIED JUNE 9, 1870.
While his lifes lamp seemed clearest most intense
light OF wit and love to great and small,
By the dark angel he Is summoned hence,
To solve the mightest mystery Of ALI
Hearing that he has passed beyond the vale,
Before the Judge " no metes to men their dues,
Mems cheeks, through English speaking lands tur
pale,
Far as the speaking wires bear the news
Blanched at this sudden swapping of life,
That seemed Cf all our lives to hold a sharei
So we're our memories with his fancisS rife,
So much Of Ais thought thoughts seemed to bear
Charles Dickens dead It is as if light
In every English home were quenched to-day
As if a face all knew had passed from sight,
A hand all loved to press we're turned to clay,
Question who will his power, its range, its height,
His wisdom, insight this at least We know
All in his loves warmth and his humor's light
Rejoced and revelsd,-Old, young, high or low
Learned, unIsarned-frOm the boy at school
To the Judge on the bench, none read but owned
The large heart Ger which the large brain held rue
The fancy by whose side clear sense sat thrOned'
The observation that made all its own,
The shaping faculty that breathed liis'5 breath
In types, all felt they kaew and still had known,
Life-like, except that they are safe from DEATH
Since Shakespeare, where the pen that so hath lent
Substance to airy nOthings Of the brainl
His fancies seem with mems experience blentr
Till to take each for other we ain.
And who that ever welded such power
Used It 50 purely, to such Christian end,
Used It to quicken the millennial hour,
When rich to poor shall be as friend to friend
Who can say how much Of that loves pure loaven
| That Ieavens now the lump Of this our world,
With influence as Of present Heaven,
! Like light athwart chaotic darkness hurled
May be traced mp to springs by him unSealsd'
To clods by him stirred round affections rooiE'
To hearts erst hard, but by his fires annealed
To softness where LOWS good works are the fruits
Mourn, England, for another great one gone
To join the great ones who have gone before
And put a universal mourning on,
Where'er sea breaks on Engish-speaking shore.
His works survive him, and his works work too
! OfIove and kindness and good will to men,
Hate of the wrong, and reverence OF the true
And war on all that shuns truths sagle-ken.
Earth's two chief nations mourners at his toPh;
Their memories for his monument: their love
For his reward Such is his glorious doom,
Whom mortal praise or blame no more shall move
Punch.

Dress of American Girls.

The New York Times is credited
with the following sensible comment
upon the prevailing style of dress
among American girls:
The principal of a Boston school has
suggested to parents and guardians
that the girls at an approaching exhi-
bition shall be simply and plainly
lressed. The recommendation is
universally applicable, and. should be
universally needed. Not only at
school exhibitions, but at school every
lay, American girls are Over-dressed.
The fashions are followed as thought
Iessly by them as by their mothers;
and from very early agss they are ac-
.ustomed to wear jewelry, and to
spend money with a freedom which
leads to future imprOvidence. We
dare not hope that the Boston teacher
will succeed in his attempt to inaugu-
rate reform. If he should, he will be
one of the benefactors of his race. The
practice he dcprecates is the source Of
much fivOlity, and an extravaganee
which too often bears bitter fruit in
after life.

PRAYER FOR PRUSSIA.

The Proclamation OF King VIII
liam-The Prayers Inserted iE1
the Liturgy.
The Neue PreussiclIe Ereuz- -Zeitaag
contains the following proclamation of
the King Of Prussia, in reference to.
the day set apart for prayer:
"I am compelled to draw the sword
in consequence of a wanton attack
which must be awarded of with alt
the strength at the command Of Ger
many. 1t is a great consolation to
me, before God and man, that l have
not, in any way, given an occasion for
the onslaught. My conscience is clear
as to the origin of this war, aud am
confident, before God, of the justice of
our cause. The conflict is earnest,
and it will entail at large. But do
part for war, looking up to an all
knowing God, and appealing to His
Ian-powerful help. Already have to
thank God that, at the first whisper
all German hearts were animated by
one Eeeling-a feeling of indignation
at the attack, and Of glad trustfulness
that God would grant victory to the
rightful cause. My people in this con-
hict will stand by me as they stood bf
my father-who now rests in Cod
With me they will make any sacrifice
10 restore peace to the nations. From
my youth I have learned to confde IN
the omnipotence of Gods gracious
help. In Him I hope, and I call upon
my people to have the like condolences
in Him. I bow in acknowledgment
of His mercy, and 1 am convinced
that my subjects and my countrymen
will do likewise. For this reason I ap-
point that Wednesday, the 9th of July
be kept as an extraordinary general
day of prayer, when Divine services
shall be celebrated in the churches,
and public business shall be suspend
cd in so far as the pressing necessity
of the times shall permit. also ap'
point that, during the continuance Of
the war, in every pubIi", Divine ser-
vice, prayers shall be offered up that
! God may lead Us to victory, that he
may make MS merciful even to our en-
} emios, and that he may graciousIy con-
, duct US to a peace that viii secure
the everlasting independence of Ger
many. WILLIAM.
BERLIN, July q, 1870.
Tho Evangeliseher KiTcher Bath, in
promuIgating the above proclamation,
adds the Kings command, that on
Sunday, the 31st, in all public services,
the following prayer shall be inserted
in the Liturgy:
"Almighty and merciful God Lord
} of hosts we beseech Thee for Thy
all-powerful succor for our German
FatherIand. Go to war with the Ger
nan armies, and bless their weapons
that they may overcome the enemy
Lead US to victory, and grant US mer-
cy, that We may show ourselves to be
Christians, even to our enemies. Let
e us soon make peace that will securely
guarantee the honor and indopend'
l ance of Germany. Be- the strong pro-
c lection and defense Of our German
Fatherland."
