Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, 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 on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruff, and, by its tonic proper
ties, 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 n new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical MR-DREsslNG ever
used, as it requires fewer appIica,
tions, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. A. a. Hayes,
MD, State Assayer of Massachu-
setts, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for es-
cellent quality; and consider it
the BEST PREPARATION for its
intended purposes"

my wife had borrowed. As wesat down
to tea my wife said to me, by name:

newspaper; it is so much comfort to me
when you are away from home"
81 would like to do SO, said |, "but
you know ! owe payment on the house
and lot. II will be all | can do to meet
it,"
She replied; "If you sill take his
paper ] will sew for the tailor to pay for
it,"
subscribed for the paper il came in
due time to the shop. While resting
one noon and looking over it, / saw an
advertisement ofthe county Commission
ers to let bridge that was to be built.
| put in bid for the bridge, and the job
was awarded to me, on which | cleared
$500, which enabled me to pay for my
house and easily, and for the newspaper.
If had not subscribed for the newspa-
per, would not have known anything
about the contract, and could not have
met my payment on my house and lot.

The following letter received some
two weeks since, was unavoidably crowded
out. We are glad to receive such com
munications from all quarters.
As your excellent JouIsSAL is repre-
scntcd by correspondents and reporters
from all parts of the country, please
allow me to give you few items from
this part Of our noble old county. -
WILLOW GROVE PUBLIC SCHOOL.
This school was established about ten
months since, under the control and di-
rection of Miss Angie Bosley as princi-
pal. With qualities of mind which pc
culiarly fit her for the responsible situa-
ton, to which she was called, she has by
patience, perseverance,, aud daily conse-
Grafton of all her energies; placed the
school on firm and substantial basis,
and secured a confidence in the minds of
its patrons and the whole community, as
astonishing as it is gratifying. Her faith
full labors together with the not less faith
ful help of Messrs Metcalf, BOsley
and Hunley, as trustees, to the rapid and
thorough requirements Of the pupils, has
been astonishing. 1t was our privilege to
witness the exercises she had at the close
ofthesession on Friday last, and although
the pupils are generally small, we have
never seen a class bear better examina-
tion, and the orntions, dialogues etc, were
perhaps unequaled by any set of little
girls and bows in the county. We would
make special mention Of Masters Lu-
clan Logan, Gorge Lewis, Everart Hun
ley, Henry Bosley, and Misses Georgia
Lewis, Cornie Cooper, and Theodosia
and Francis Thompson, who were exam
ined in reading. This class, or most of
them at the beginning Of the session com
menccd in the alphabet.
A UNION SUNDAY SCHOOL,
was also established at this school house
last fall, with thirty-fve scholars, which
has been in successful operation ever
since. Some of the children never hav-
ing missed Sunday since its orgasiza-

The Interview between Mrs. JEFF
fcrson Davis and Horace Gree
Icy.

ttls
Macon CGa.) Telegraph and Messenger.
"Mr. VOORHEES,, in his recent attack
on Mr.. Greeley, styled his signing of
Mr.. Davis bond "impertinent interfer-
ence." Allow me to give you the true
history of that matter as ! recently learn
edit in New York, from a gentleman who
knew all about il. Mrs. Davis went to
New York TO consult Charles OCOnnor,
Mr.. Davis council, as 10 the best man
ner of cfiecting his release from prison.
Mr.. O'Connor told her that in his opin-
ion there was but one way it could be
done, and that was to get the representa-
tive man of the Republican party to sign
his bond. Mrs. Davis inquired who that
man was. Mr.. OCoDnor replied that
it was Horace Greeley. She then asked
him If he would not see Mr.. Greeley and
get him to do it. He replied that he had
no influence with Mr.. Greeley, and that
she was the proper person to see him.
She then said she would 60 and see him.
She went to his office sent in her card
and was invited into his private Office.
She then said to him: "Mr. Greeley,
my husband is confined in a casemate at
Fortress Monroe. He has been there
for many long, weary months He is a
feeble old man, and he is gradually sink
ing under his rigorous imprisonment.
He will die il he remains there much
longer. am here to consult Mr.. o.
Connor as to the means Of getting him
released. He has told me there was but
one way to do it, and that was to get the
representative man Of the Republican
party to sign his bond, and says that you
are that man. He has advised me to
apply to you. He says that YOU have a
kind heart, and that you will do it, if
you believe it to be right. My husband
is dying. Mr.. Greeley, may | hope that
you will favorably consider my applica-
tion?" Mr.. Greeley arose, extended his
hand to Mrs. Davis. and said: "Madam
you may, for l will sign his bond.' Mr..
Greeley was then prominent candidate
before the Legislature for the United
States Senate. Some of his friends
Ia =
heard ne nc naid i'd \ ag@issEII:sijS:ss D.
fDavis bond. They ssgfeto so- 6im' nnc
protested against it. They told him thai
they had made count and that he would
be elected by six majority, but that i
he signed this bond, it would defeat him
He replied, II know it will" They told
him he was one Of the owners Of the
Tribune, and if he signed this bond he
would lose many thousand subscribers.
He replied II know it." They said,
Mr.. Greeley you have written history
of the war, one volume you have out,
and have sold large numbers oft. Your
second volume is nearly out and you have
large orders for that. If you sign this
bond, these orders will be countermand-
ed and you will lose large amount Of
money! He replied, "Gentlemen, |
know it, but Il q right, and Ia do It.
He did do so, and am informed that he
lost seat in the United States Senate,
and over thirty thousand dollars. To
my mind this does not look like "impert-
inent interference"

SuperluOus Flesh.

Not longago gentleman ofthrcescore,
who had hardly ever been sick in his
life, thought he was little too ileshy and
began to Bantamize. He succeeded ia
mously, and boasted to his friends that
he had got rid of ten pounds in a few
weeks. A little later he was attacked
with a painful and dangerous malady,
from which he has been suffering more
than year. Ifa man can sleep sound,
has a good appetite, with no unpleasant
reminders after meals, the bodily habits
being regular every day, he had better
leave himself alone, whether he is as big
as hogshead or as thin and dry as a
fence rail. Several cases of Brights
disease have been reported by medical
men Of reputation as direct result OF
practicing Brights plan for getting lean.
The very best way to get rid of fat
is to work il off. This May be aided by
eating food which hcontains alargc amount
of carbon. Nitrogen food is that which
gives strength, power to work, as lean
meats; carbonaceOus foods are those
which make fat, such as cheese, potatoes,
rice, corn, peas, sugar, syrup and all oily
and fat food. Raw fruit and berries,
largely eaten, are great aids to reducing
weight. But, after all, the great reli-
ance should be. ON exercise and work in
the open air. Barclay, the great English
pedestrian, who performed greater feats
than Weston, lost ten pounds in two or
three days walking, and was never tho
worse for it.-JoUrnai Of Health.
