CRYSTAL DISCOVERY:
1T affords me much pleasure to bear tcstimn
Some years Since while in India, l suffered from
Il severe fever peculiar ~ the country. On my
recovering, patch Of hair OH the left side Of my
head became perfectly white, without at all at
fecting the remainder. To remove this nnsightly
appearance, ! had recourse to various prepara-
tons, both in Europe and in this country; but
they all had one great dcfcct-thcy dyed tho
hair black Now, with your Crystal Discovery,
I can get tho desired shadc-thc natural color of
my hair being dark brown. | consider your
Discovery the best preparation know of.
HENRY j. ROGERS.
Now as the fact becomes more patent every
day that the various dirty and filthy preparations
advertised rs Reviewers, Restorativcs, &c, are
but compounds of Sugar of Lead and Sulphur,
and therefore should be Stunned by I'LL who
value their health, it is really matter of sur
prise that the demand for NATTANS CRIS-
TAI DISCOVERY, admitted to be perfectly
harmless, and yet accomplish all, and more, than
the poisonous articles claim to do should have
increased so rapidly. 1t restores the color and
growth of the hair positively in q few days;
strengthens the roots, makes an excellent dress
ing, soing neither clothes nor scalp; but on the
contrary it gives the scalp a pure and clcanly
look, removing all dandruti and scurt. 1t is the
most economical preparation in use Put up in

ENGLISH LAWYERS. case recently be-,
fore the English Court of Common Pleas, held
in London, an application was made to compel
the navment of debt by monthly instalments
of ten dollars, and it was stated that the debtor
was barrister at law, who during the year had
only received one brief Upon this statement
beiug made, Mr.. Justice John Barnard Byles
expressed the opinion that the case was not an
exceptional one, but that not one barrlster in
twenty in England earned a living by the prac-
tice Of this profession The English law jour
nails explain his poverty among the legal pro-
fession by the fact that large numbers OF needy
men become barristers on speculation, without
knowledge of law, special gifts of eloquence, or

Ne,vspaper Government.

Thomas Jefferson said that be would
rather have newspapers without gov
eminent than a government without
newspapers. There was something pro
phetic in the remark, for in the days of
Jefferson newspapers were not what they
are to day. More aud more the country
and the civilized world is coming to be
governed by newspapers.
The Tammany Ring had hold of the
machinery of a greaI party. They held
power in a city where a large part OF
the voters have not Intelligence enough
to read, and another large part have net
discrimination enough to understand
what they read If ever there was
political power that might hope TO hold
its own despite the criticism Of the press.
that power was Tammany. And SO long
had they borne fire of small shot, and
so much had their power increased un
der it, that it really seemed invincible
To every criticism of the press their only
response was the purchase OF Il conven
ton, a legislature, a board of aldermen,
or, percbanee, newspaper itself.
But the deluge came at last-a deluge
against which money was no barrier
1ADGTS not UuItutSdQlG lOOh tnN thAbS
In hand in dead earnest Aud one char
acteristic of American journalism is its
furious earnestness. and its fierce con
centration upon the uppermost topic.
When once the cry was started, almost
every paper wheeled into line No jour
nal could afford to stand back. Secret
accounts were published. The graves of
buried secrets were opened By the re
morseless special reporter" who Is
worth thousand detectives. Then the
machinery of a convention was OF no
avail Tweed held the convention, but
the papers swept the convention to the
winds Tweed held the judges, most
people thought, but the judges have not
dared to reverse the decision of case
where the verdict has been already made
up by public opinion
After all, newspapers are nothing OF
them elves. Newspaper government Is
representative government of the highest
order. Newspapers have power because
they have a constituency and speak Its
voice. They govern only as they are
able to influence those whom they repre-
sent. But politicians are coming more
and more TO understand that they can
not govern without the press. Gen.
Butler had gathered into his hands IN
his great fight in Massachusetts, all the
elements once considered necessary to
success He bad every disconnected and
eferveSeing element 10 the party, from
the temperance men TO the communists.
Backed by these aggressive and power
fnl elements. he had also the immense
support of government patronage But
he was beaten, terribly aud utterly, slump
ly because he had the independent news
paper press against him For 10 Massa-
chusetts, if anywhere, the newspap per Is
all but omnipotent.

A Sleepy David.

In certain small town on the Mis-
sissippi lived a man who made horse ira
ding a business He bought up horses
for city market, and was considered
pretty good on trade.
Que day, long, lean, queer, green
looking specimen of the Western coun
try arrived at the dock with boat load
of horses. He inquired for the horse
jockey
Daddy sent me down with some hor-
ses," he said in half idiotic tone.
"Who is he 2"
Daddy"
What do you want for the horses p
Daddy said you could set your price,
wss the response.
Let me 90 down and look at your hor
ses, p said Brown, and accordingly they
were soOu at the boat
Brown examined the horses. and nam
ed the price he would give for this one
aud for that and the country pumpkin
made no objection, although some of the
offers were not !more than one half the
worth OF the animal. One of the by
ISLANDERS said to the couptrymen that he
WIS being cheated, but he returned:
Daddy said Brown would set the
price, and so Brown had it all his own
wsy.
At last they came to another animal
which did not look SO much superior to
the rest.
II must have more for this animal, y
said the fellow. Daddy says he eau
run some"
''Runl" said Brown, "the nag can't
run worth a cent"
DADDY said 30, AID daddy knows"
"Why I've got one UP to the stable
that would beat him all hollow"
Guess not" said the fellow Lets
try EN-. I'll bet the whole boat load OF
horses on EN-" Brown smiled.
"Ill stake FIVE thousand dollars
against your boat load" said Brown,
winking 10 ;he crowd land these men. .
selecting two, ''shall hold the stakes
Browns FIVE thousand was intrusteG to
one and the other went on board the
horse boat
One of the crowd started TO remon
strate with the idiotic fellow, but he only
responded:
"Golly dad told me he could run
some and daddy ought to loose, if he
was such tarnal fool as to tell me that
when be couldn't"
Browns sleek racer was brought down
and Brown mounted him. The country
man led out his animal and clambered
on his back, looking as uneouth aud
awkward as the horse he proposed TO
ride
The word was given and they started
amidst the laughter of the crowd. Al
hrst Brown was at the head and it look
ed as if the poor fellow was to be badly
beaten, when suddenly his horse plunged
forward and the jockey was left tar be-
hind. Such going had not been seen in
those parts for loug time, and poor
Brown was crest fallen as the cheers OF
the bystanders fell OF his ears.
I'll take the "sphondulix" said the
countryman, riding up dad was right
The anermal can git around little"
Brown tried to say it was all joke
but the fellow would have his money
Il guess l won't trade today" he said
as he put up his old rough leatheru
pocket book, "I'Il go back to daddy
In vain Brown tried to induce him tc
trade, but he pushed off bis boat, reso
lutely, saying, I'D better go back and
tell daddy"
Brown was completely "sold," for he
knew at once that the green countrymar
was little shrewder than people imag
inged him, and had just come here pur
posely to win his money from him.
Next time he did not ridicule horse
that daddy" said could run some

Fashion Items.

Gimp is again fashionable for trim
ming.
fsurplice trimming is much used for
basques.
Pale blonde powder is very injurious
to the hair.
Ruffies continue to grow in favor as
trimming for dresses.
A new style of wedding card is of pure
white, with gilt edge.
The latest style of gold bracelets are
the gauntlets, and are nearly three IN
ebes wide.
Round hats have been discarded al
most entirely by young ladies.
Marie Antoinetie capes of velvet,
plush or asterene, are to be worn III the
street with costumes, this winter.
Jet trimming has come in fashion
again and is used very much on cloaks
aud cloth costumes.
Necklaces, composed Of very large tor
toise shell beads, deliberately carved, are
considered very elegant.
A new style of bronze clocks, for par
ties. chime tune of music with silver
bells, at the stroke of each hour.
The latest style in wedding cards Is
very long and narrow, of heavily glazed
pasteboard, with monogram or crest
stamped in silver.
Many ladies have ruined the shape of
their ears by wearing heavy massive ear
rings, which not ouly spoil the shape of
the ear by eiOngatiug it. but also produce
headache and pains in the face.
The latest wrinkle at fashionable wed
dipus is for a black paop in livery TO
walk into church before the bride and
groom carrying a small white cushion,
on which IS embroidered a monogram in
gilt letters, which he places in front of
the altar, for the couple to knee on, and
carries it out again at the close of the
ceremony. What next?
