carious condition. We failed to get a re-

Hoses the fact that the terrible deeds were
perpetrated by Tuck Turner and Samuel
Fir. A difficulty occurred the day previ-
Gus in a field where the parties mention
IA. together with Tennessee Bowers who

Every year increases the POPULAR
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation ;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, l~ustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create o new growth, except in
extreme old age. IL is the most CO.
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair q splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayero of Massachusetts,, says,
@The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

OPPOSITION OF THE MoNoPoLlsrs.-Ihe import
ers of sugar and syrup from other countries into
California, along with the refners and middle
men who have. had to deal with those commodi-
ties, have for many years reaped the profits from
a wonderfully good thing in connection with the
monopoly they enjoyed. As long as California
did not produce these necessary articles their bus
mess was a mine of untold wealth, which only
needed tapping to turn out the most fabulous
treasures. We remember seeing it announced
in 1869 that 5. j. Spreckles, the head of one of
the sugar refneries, in San Francisco, returned
the largest income for that year of any man in the
State Of California, His monopoly has made him
a veritabIe Crosus in wealth, with comparatively
meager efforts on his part. 1t is but natural that
such men should do all in their power to oppose
the manufacture. of sugar, from any product
whatever, in our midst. 1t is but natural that
they should seek to conserve their own interests
by throwing cold water on the Alvarado and all
other schemes for the manufacture of sugar from
beets, as nowaprojected. They see in beet sugar
a menacing phantom which baunts the source of
their wealth and threatens to destroy it. IT our
beet sugar manufacturers are wise. and men of
ordinary resolution, they will not in the least
heed the efforts these sugar refineries and monop-
olists are making to destroy confidence IN the en-
terprise in which they propose to engage.
Nothing but actual trial should prove the charac-
ter of the enterprise and every actual trial
win demonstrate that il will be offended VITA
relnGnerafITe results.-Saa Jo&e EndspeHdenf.

We find in the Buffalo Express of the 2Sth
inst, the following paternal objurgations by Mark
Twain - - Sd KS W
Yes I've had a good many fights in my time
said old John Parky, tenderly manipulating his
dismantled nose, = and it's kind of queer too, for
when was a boy, the old man was always telling
me better. He was a good man and hated fight
ing. When l would come home with my nose
bleeding or with my face scratched up, be.used to
call me out in the woodshed, and in a sorrowfuI
and discouraged way, say, so, Johnny, you We
had another fight, hey How many times have I
got to tell ye how disgraceful and wicked it is for
boys to fight? 1t was only yesterday that l
talked to you an hour about the sin Of fighting,
and here you've been at IL again. sWho was It
with this time? With Tommy Kelly, hey?
Don't you know any better than to fight a boy
that weighs twenty pounds more than you do,
besides being two years older? Ain't ye got 2
spark of sense about ye? Iean see plainly that
you are determined TO break your poor fathers
heart by your reckless conduct. What ails your
finger? Tommy bit it, Drat the little fool
Didn't We know enough to keep yer finger out of
his mouth? Was trying to yerk his cheek off,
hey? Wont We learn to quit 4ooliR round a
boys mouth with yer fingers You're bound to
disgrace us all by sech wretched behavior. You're
determined never to be, nobody! Did you ever
hear of Isaac Watts-that wrote 8 Let dogs delight
to bark and bite sticking his fingers in a boys
mouth to get 'em bit, like a fool? I'm clean dis
couraged with tye. Why didn't ye gS!for his
nose, the way Jonathan Edwards, and George
Washington, and Danl Webster used to. when
they was boys, Couldn't, cause he had We
down! That's a purity story to tell me. 1t does
beat all that you can't learn how Socrates and
William Penn used to gouge when they was
under, after the hours and hours, I've spent in
telling you about those great men, 1t seems to
me sometimes as if [ should have to give YOU IN
in despair. Its an awful trial to me to have a
boy that don't pay any attention to good example
nor TO what L say. What! Yon pulled out
three or four handfuls of bis hair! HIM Did
he squirm any? Now if you'd a give him one or
two in the eye-buta as I've told ye, many a time,
fighting is poor business. Won't ,you-for your
fathers sake-won't you promise to try and
remember that, HIM! Johnny how did it
ahem-which licked?
You licked him ! ,Sho Really? Well now,
I hadn't any idea you could lick that Tommy
Kelley . L don't believe John Bunyan, at ten
years old, could have, done it. Johnny my boy,
you can't think how hate to have you fighting
every day or two.-I wouldn't have had hiin lick
you for five, no, not for ten dollars |. Now sonny,
go right in and wash up, and tell yer mother to
put a rag on yer finger. And Johnny, don't let
me hear of youry6ghting again.
I never see anybody SO down on fighting as
the old man was. but somehow he never could
break me from it.

A. r. stewards Marble Palace.

From a ". Y. LsttsFLO The Washington RItri0l.
Cold us u snow bank in December rises
Stewards marble palace at the corner oil
of Thirty.iourth street and Filth avenue.
Fronting on Thirty-lourth street, the
main entrance Is reached by flight OF
eighteen marble steps, the portico sup.
ported by six Corinthian columns, Tho
architecture Of the building Is Corlnthian.
The windows on Thirty.fourth street
number twcnty.tllree; those on Fifth ave.
nuO nine. The size Of these is in pro.
portion TO the height OF the different
stories, and each contains single pane oil
French'plate glass, Those on the first
parlOr floor have pretty little balconies,
The house Is three stories high, not in.
Guiding fine basement and vaulted roof.
The white marble stairway is in the cen.
Ter Of the building, and leads TO tho
upper part Of the house. The floors
Of three stories are Of Italian
marble. The first contains the
breakiast-room, with panels Of yellow and
gold, brought out by the scarlet border
Ing. On the right Of the entrance. is the
reception room, trcscoed In blue and gold.
This leads into the grand saloon on the
east, which has handsome windows on
Fifth Avenue and Thirty.iOurth street,
From the grand saloon We enter Mr..
Stewards billiard room, in green and gold,
and through this walk into the picture
gallery, containing fine collection Of
works Of native and foreign artists. On
tho north side are placed paintings by
Americans, and TO the other sections be-
long pictures brought from abroad. Above
all are heads of French and Americans
who arc distinguished in the works Of art,
and we here recognize Rosa Bonheur,
Laroche, Meisonier, Church, Bierstadt,
Clifford, and Huntington. The "HOrsc-
fair" by Rosa Bonhcur, and q Cattlc.meCe
by her brother, occupy spaces at either
end OF the gallery. Church's magnificent
picture OF Niagara" and BieStadts
"ROcky Mountain Scenes" also have pla-
ccs assigned.
On the second floor several beautiful
rooms form Mrs. Stewards suite; these
arc ornamentGd with rich dark woods.
The room on this floor Immediately above
the grind salon is the guest chamber;
the billiard room, opening from this, is
lrescoed in blue and gold. The rooms
above these arc said 10 be designed for
distinguished guests,
In this suite We find no marble, but
here everything issimpIc and elegant; at
taChed Is u billiard room, also especially
intended for the guests. The wine room
Is near this suit.
Tho servants apartments, in the upper
story, are convenient and comfortable;
and, in the basement, the kitchen, laundry,
arctic room, and, in fact, every Granny
and square inch are perfectly finished.
But vensurrounded by all this grandeur,
those accustomed to the dainty refinement
Of smaller home, where the individual
ity of each member Is not only seen but

or supply; hence the vast pile must oil.
ways seem barren and cold, even though
its princely maGniticcnce attracts the

The Condition of the S0uth-.The
Proposed Investigation.

From he PHILADELPHIA North american.
The necessity for this investigation
originates in the conflicting statements
published. If we credit the reports Of
Southerners, and their especial friends at
the north, there are not, and there have
not been, any more Irregularities there
than under II normal state of affairs. But
this sweeping denial is met by daily re.
ports of murders, robberies, Jail deliveries
and general brutality. The disorder does
not seem 10 be political, as when the Ku.
KllX were well organized and pending
the last election. 1t Is in every State
though greater in some, and demands
treatment us much for the good of South.
erners as Northerners. Business cannot
flourish while gang of desperadoes may
with immunity domineCr over whole
section, levy tribute and idle themselves,
force others to lose what their industry
earns. And, for whatever cause, the pe0.
pie Of the South do not deal with this
state of things etFectually.
A Congressional committee, not com.
mittcd to the interests Of any State or
clique, empowered to collect evidence,
and known TO have power TO influence
legislation on Il, constitutes us good an
agency as any to arrive ut the truth. The
country at large will have confidence in
tue imrartiality of the inquiry and the
honesty of the commentator. And then
we shall know what ought to be done in
the premises. If the evidence shows an
organized determination to resist tho law
in any part OF the country, 1t is high time
that the power of the country should be
invoked summarily to quell all efforts to
continue in miniature the animosities that
have lately cost four years of war. II
these reports demonstrate only u magnify
Ing Of trifcs, that result will be even more
acceptable. But either way, we shall
have definite knowledge and assured Or
der. For il the south only wants aid to
repress few knaves 1t Is easily furnished,
md II 1t wants general supervision it
must be rendered at once. The industries
Of n new year promising nightly through
the disorders Of Europe beckon for our
support, and will repay more than they
ever did. OurOwn greater problems arc
adjusted. We want only the order this
commission is calculated to create to en-.
able us 10 make 1871 gloriously mcmor.
able In the cvGntful annals OF peace.
